The next day was close to noon, Shan Zhe and Wang Wei came to the Zhucheng Hotel early to wait for the arrival of Xiangzi and others, after all, they still have the self-confidence not to be released by them.

Sure enough, just after eleven o'clock, Xiangzi and Li Tingting's family appeared in front of him. As soon as he saw Xiangzi, he ran to Shan Zhe, looked Shan Zhe's arms and legs in plaster up and down, and asked eagerly: "Why are you so badly injured?"

Regarding his injury, Shan Zhe didn't tell many people, including his father and grandmother, after all, they are so old, it's not good for them to worry.

Shan Zhe waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I was hit by a competitor a few days ago, but that person has already gone in and squatted." After speaking, Shan Zhe pointed to Li Wenjian and the others who were still standing at the door: "Don't patronize and talk to me, don't you invite your father-in-law to sit down?" ”

Xiangzi hurriedly returned to Li Wenjian's side, and said with a flattering face: "Hey, yes, Uncle Li, you sit down quickly, don't be polite." ”

After Li Wenjian and the others all sat down, Shan Zhe turned his head to Wang Wei next to him and said, "Let the waiter serve the food." ”

Wang Wei answered and walked out.

"Single... Sir, I wonder why you want us here today?"

"Uncle Li just calls me Xiaozhe. Shan Zhe said with a smile: "It's not a big deal to let Uncle Li come over today, I just want to talk to you about the marriage between Xiangzi and Tingting, you also know that although Xiangzi and I are not brothers, but after all, we have played since childhood, and we are not much worse than our own brothers, and I am okay now, so if I don't help a little bit about his marriage, I can't say anything, right?"

Li Wenjian looked at Shan Zhe's expression, and felt that he didn't seem to be joking, so he responded: "That's for sure, if you don't help your own people, don't you help outsiders." ”

Shan Zhe motioned to Xiangzi to pour a cup of tea for himself and the big guy, raised his head and continued to say to Li Wenjian: "Since Uncle Li, you understand this truth, then I won't beat around the bush, I heard Xiangzi say that your family plans to ask his family for a bride price of nearly 90,000 yuan, not counting the three gold jewelry, tobacco and alcohol gifts?"

Li Wenjian was a little embarrassed, before he came, he thought that Shan Zhe might discuss with him how to hold a grand ceremony for Xiangzi and the two to get married, or what arrangements there were for work after the two got married, but he didn't think that what he talked to him about was the 88,000 bride price, after all, 88,000 yuan is not good for him Shan Zhe at all.

It's just that he doesn't know that the more Shan Zhe is on small money, the more he deducts it.

But no matter how I didn't expect it, since Shan Zhe asked, he would always give an answer, so Li Wenjian replied: "This... , You also know what kind of mouth the neighbors in our town look like, if you don't know the relationship between Xiangzi and you, it doesn't matter how many points we have, but you are such a big boss here, we have to be less, how can the neighbors look up to our Li family, and behind their backs, they must say that our Li family wants to climb high branches, and they don't want money to send their daughters to rich people. ”

"Xiangzi, it turns out that your family is a rich family, you have been hiding it from me for so many years, I knew that you were a child of a rich family, I didn't have to go all the way to Shanghai to sing for tuition at that time, I just borrowed it from you.

"Don't taunt me, you don't know what the conditions of my family are? Except for those few tiled houses, a few pigs, and twenty acres of land, what else? If this is a rich family, then eight and a half of the ten families in our village are rich people. ”

Seeing the two singing and talking in harmony, Li Wenjian said to Shan Zhe with some embarrassment: "Xiao Zhe, the rich family I'm talking about is your family." ”

Shan Zhe was puzzled, and in surprise, he pointed to his nose with his right hand, which could still move, and asked, "My family, is Li Tingting going to marry me? Why don't I remember such a thing." ”

"Of course it's married to Shoko, but didn't you just say that Shoko and you are not brothers but they are similar, they are always a family. ”

Shan Zhe seemed to have heard something particularly funny, and after laughing twice, he said to Li Wenjian: "Uncle Li, there is an old saying that is good, dear

My brother is still settling accounts, so I have money, what does it have to do with him? Are you mistaken about something?"

"This..."

Li Wenjian didn't expect Shan Zhe to say this, and he was embarrassed and speechless for a while, and in the end, it was Li Tingting and her mother next to him who said a word to relieve his embarrassment.

I only heard her mother say: "Xiaozhe, you see that Xiangzi and Tingting will get married in a few months, won't you hurt the harmony of the two families by making such a joke?"

"Auntie is right, I said the wrong thing, I punished myself. Saying that, Shan Zhe motioned to Xiangzi to pour himself wine and apologize to Li Wenjian and others.

At this time, Wang Wei happened to come back, heard the conversation of several people, and saw that Shan Zhe was going to be punished for drinking, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Shan Zhe, snatched the wine glass and said: "Xiao Zhe is seriously ill and can't drink, and I also have to drive, this glass of wine, let's wait until later." ”

"Uncle and aunt are embarrassed, I forgot that I was just discharged from the hospital, and the wound left by the operation on my stomach has not yet scarred, and I can't drink alcohol, this wine will be drunk when Xiangzi and Tingting get married, you can see it?"

"Okay, losing alcohol is a small thing, but the body is a big thing. ”

Shan Zhe nodded with a smile and continued: "But there is something I still have to say..."

"What words, you say. ”

"The 88,000 yuan, I can give it for Xiangzi, but I have a request, no matter how much dowry you give to Tingting, at least 50,000 yuan must be brought back, is it okay?"

Without waiting for the two of them to answer, Shan Zhe continued: "I don't want the 50,000 yuan from the marriage, I just use it as a living experience for the two of them after they get married." ”

Li Wenjian and Li Tingting's mother glanced at each other, as if they had made up their minds, and turned back to Shan Zhe and said: "Since it is a bride price, how to arrange it is our business, I am afraid it is a little inappropriate for you to arrange it for us directly, right?"

Shan Zhe saw that Li Wenjian's expression was a little displeased, and took advantage of the fact that the food happened to be served, and hurriedly said: "Oh, just kidding, since it is for you, it must be your Li family, eat." ”

After that, at the dinner table, Shan Zhe almost didn't talk to Li Wenjian's family anymore, and when Li Wenjian and the others were about to go back, Shan Zhe asked Xiangzi to stay with him on the grounds of discussing the wedding of the two.

When Li Wenjian heard this, he lay in Li Tingting's ear and didn't know what to say, and then left with a smile.

"Is there any difference between what you talk about and what you don't talk about? After Li Wenjian left, Xiangzi couldn't help but complain to Shan Zhe.

Shan Zhe ignored him, but said to Li Tingting: "Tell me, why does your family want so much money?"

Li Tingting pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shan Zhe continued to speak: "Don't worry, since you said that you will give the money to your family, then you will give it, I just want to know the reason." ”

"My brother also talked about a girlfriend, she asked my brother to buy a house in Zhucheng, but the family didn't have so much money, my dad and they could only hit Xiangzi on the head in the end, because they said that Xiangzi has such a good relationship with you, and you won't take it in your eyes for 180,000 yuan. ”

"So you said yes?"

"That's my brother!

Shan Zhe interrupted her and asked her with interest: "Then have you ever thought that what I agreed to give to your father was originally intended for you?"

Hearing this, Xiangzi hurriedly looked at Shan Zhe and wanted to open his mouth, but Shan Zhe didn't give him the slightest chance to speak, and continued to say to Li Tingting: "I have a good relationship with Xiangzi, do I have a relationship with you Li Tingting, or your Li family?

Without giving them a chance to interject, Shan Zhe took a sip of tea and continued: "Do you know why I am willing to give your father this money? It's not because I have so much money that I don't have a place to spend it, but I originally planned to wait for you to get married and give you a house in Zhucheng, at least in the future, you will have a place to live here for my work, but now because of your wishful thinking, this house is gone.

Brother, are you happy?"

Li Tingting listened to Shan Zhe's sarcasm, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only bow her head and sobbed softly. Seeing this, Xiangzi hurriedly ran to Li Tingting's side, gently patted her back for comfort, and then raised his head and shouted to Shan Zhe: "Shan Zhe, Tingting is just a little girl, what are you talking to her about?"

Shan Zhe looked at him and laughed softly: "Little girl, when I talked to her father about this matter just now, did she say even one sentence, your family may not be able to take out this money, is it? She, like her family, thinks that I have a good relationship with you, and I must give this money." ”

Shoko roared angrily, "Did I say I wanted you to help me with this money?"

Shan Zhe didn't know which string he was pulling wrong, so he actually yelled at him: "If I don't help you pay for it, you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law! Do you think her family has a crush on you? The reason why her family agrees to the marriage between the two of you is because there is a me standing behind you!"

"Can't you two talk well? Is it worth arguing so much over a trivial matter?" Wang Wei saw that both of them were a little angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to be a peacemaker.

Shan Zhe also realized that he was a little out of control before, raised his hand and drank a large cup of warm tea to reduce the anger in his heart, and then continued to say to Xiangzi: "Tomorrow, I will go to Philosophy Electronics to learn how to manage the company with Uncle Li Mincheng, and then after the completion of Huasheng Plaza, you need a person in charge, you can do it yourself." But there's one thing, I don't want to hear someone say to me in the future, Huasheng Plaza is showing off its power in it by relying on the fact that he is a relative of the person in charge, you know?"

"Don't worry. Although Xiangzi was still a little hesitant, he also understood that Shan Zhe said that these estimates were still for his own good, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"As for you Li Tingting, I hope you can be the daughter-in-law of the single family honestly in the future, as for those who don't, think less in your head. Shan Zhe finally reminded Li Tingting, then turned around and asked Wang Wei to push him out of the private room.

Before going out, I didn't forget to remind Xiangzi that about his injury, don't talk nonsense when you go back to the village, especially don't tell your father and grandmother.

Out of the hotel, Shan Zhe gently rubbed the wound on his stomach a few times, it should have been when he yelled just now, and accidentally touched the wound, so it was a little painful.

"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Wang Wei hurriedly ran to Shan Zhe and squatted down and asked.

Shan Zhe waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I roared a little louder just now." ”

Hearing this, Wang Wei walked behind Shan Zhe again, pushed him towards the car, and said as he walked: "You said that you are too, is it worth it to compete with them for tens of thousands of yuan?"

Shan Zhe shook his head and said: "It's not for tens of thousands of yuan, if I don't let Li Tingting's family see my attitude today, then if I hand over Huasheng Plaza to Xiangzi in the future, there is a good chance that all the leaders inside will be from their Li family." Can you imagine that kind of picture?"

Wang Wei asked: "So you deliberately got into trouble with Li Tingting's family today?"

"Well, Xiangzi is a person who can't walk when he sees a woman, when Li Tingting blows the wind in his ears, he can agree to anything, I made my position clear in advance, so that they think that their relationship with Xiangzi is not as good as they imagined, and then the Li family needs to consider my attitude if they want to go through Xiangzi's back door. ”

When he came to the car, Wang Wei opened the car door and asked Shan Zhe: "Isn't this a little bad? After all, it is Li Tingting's family, and Li Tingting is going to marry Xiangzi again." ”

After struggling to sit in the car, after Wang Wei put the wheelchair into the car, he came to the driver's seat and sat down, Shan Zhecai said to him: "The company is mine, not his son." Besides, do you really think Li Tingting is innocent? If she doesn't nod her head and agree, her family will ask for 88,000 if they dare to open their mouths so hard? Even this idea may have been come up with her, but she didn't expect that I would actually give Xiangzi so little face. ”

Wang Wei said: "Brothers don't need to give face to each other. ”

"That's it, hahaha. ”
