Chapter 406: Judging a Gentleman by His Own Mind
"No, I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared." Qiao Mo didn't think she was perfunctory. She started preparing for the wedding several months ago. Her clothes and Kang Mingyuan's clothes were all carefully designed and made by herself.
"You know what's going on in your mind." Wu Weiqian also knew that she and her mother had been preparing for the marriage for a long time and they should be almost ready.
"Brother, let's go to work first. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back." Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Weijin pulled his brother upstairs.
Because there were only two sewing machines, Qiao Mo did not go upstairs, but went to the study. She took out paper and pen and spent two hours translating: Bai Ge was afraid that she would be addicted to business and neglect her studies, so before the winter vacation, she got her a novel from the publishing house and asked her to translate it. However, time was not tight, as long as she finished the translation before school started, so no matter how busy she was, she would take two hours out to translate.
After Wu Weiqian and the others left, she went upstairs to get some sewing cloth and slipped into the space. She went to the wooden house to sew, and then went to practice acupuncture and calligraphy, and take care of the trivial things in the space.
Time passed quickly, and it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. This was the day when the Kang family came to deliver the betrothal gifts. At nine o'clock in the morning, Kang Weimin, Ji Ying and Kang Mingyuan arrived.
They brought the betrothal gifts from the Kang family, which were also the superficial betrothal gifts: 500 yuan in betrothal money, a watch, four sets of clothes, two pairs of leather shoes, and 100 yuan for supplies for the wedding banquet.
In addition, a set of clothing material was given to Wu Yuanxin and Bai Ge respectively, and a set of clothing material was given to each of Qiao Chengmu's family and Qiao Chengting's family.
When someone comes to deliver a betrothal gift, the Qiao family must entertain them. On this day, Wu Yuanxin personally went into the kitchen and prepared a table full of dishes to entertain the three members of the Kang family.
"My dear in-laws, thank you for your hard work. I'd like to offer you a drink..." Kang Weimin didn't expect Wu Yuanxin to go into the kitchen himself. He was touched but also felt a little guilty. Compared to him, the Wu family was much more sincere.
"It's not hard. It's my duty to entertain my in-laws." Wu Yuanxin raised his glass and clinked it with him.
"Qiao Mo is so lucky to have relatives like his in-laws." Kang Weimin said with emotion that Wu Yuanxin has devoted no less effort to Qiao Mo than his own relatives.
"She is our little cotton-padded jacket. With her, we feel the joy of raising a daughter. We are lucky to have Xiaomo." Wu Yuanxin also said with a smile, "Xiaomo is still young. I hope my parents-in-law and mother-in-law will be more tolerant of any inconsiderateness in the future."
"Don't worry, dear relatives. Once she enters the Kang family, she is a member of the Kang family. She is our child. Although I cannot guarantee that I will treat her like my own daughter, I will definitely not make things difficult for her or treat her unfairly." Kang Weimin promised.
"I feel relieved with your words. Thank you, in-laws. I'll toast you a glass."
Two male elders were toasting each other at the table, Kang Mingyuan was also chatting quietly with Wu Weiqian, and only the three female compatriots were silent.
Ji Ying always had a stern face, as if someone owed her 18 million. Bai Ge naturally wouldn't try to please her, and as a junior, Qiao Mo didn't need to say anything.
Lunch ended in a strange atmosphere. The three members of the Kang family sat for a while and then said goodbye. Wu Yuanxin and Bai Ge did not keep them and sent them to the door.
"Momo, I'll pick you up next morning to get the certificate." Kang Mingyuan, who was left behind, said to Qiao Mo.
"I understand." Qiao Mo nodded. This was decided beforehand, and she had no objection. "What happened to your mother? Who offended her?"
"She wanted to put the property I transferred to you on the shelf. My father and I didn't agree, so she became like this. You don't have to pay attention to her." Kang Mingyuan explained.
"How come she doesn't have any common sense? Isn't she afraid of being hated?" Qiao Mo was surprised. The Kang family members were either in politics or the military, but it was strange that she, the wife of the head of the family, didn't have any political sensitivity at all.
"It's all because of her brother and sister-in-law's conspiracy. She thinks she's superior just by showing off the property. She doesn't even think about how much dowry you have. What can she compare with it?" Kang Mingyuan shook his head.
