Chapter 109: Mother-in-law's proposal
Early the next morning.
As soon as Lin Xia got up, he received a call from Zhou Lan, saying that Gu Zhentian and Liu Wanrong had gone to the house to propose their relatives, and asked them to hurry over.
Lin Xia was originally not nervous, but when he heard that they had already gone to the house, he was still a little nervous.
She knew Gu Zhentian's temper too well, even if she accepted that she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, but he was dictatorial, she was afraid that his request would be too much.
After talking to Gu Xiaoyun, the two of them didn't eat breakfast, and hurriedly drove to Lin's house.
When they got home, Zhou Lan and Gu Zhentian chatted happily, and when they came in, Zhou Lan got up and said with a smile, "Come in and sit down, I just discussed the date of the wedding with Tingyun's father and aunt, we chose three good days, and the two of you also came to give an opinion." ”
Lin Xia and Gu Xiaoyun glanced at each other, but they didn't expect them to be so happy instead of arguing.
Retracted his thoughts, pulled Gu Xiaoyun to sit down, and took the paper handed over by Zhou Lan, a total of three dates were written on it, all of them were double numbers, Lin Xia had been married once, so he naturally knew that it was a good day for everyone to choose a double number for marriage.
But this is too early, the three days are not too far away, the earliest is the second two months later, and the latest is the second three months later.
After reading the date, Lin Xia asked in a low voice, "Will it be too early?"
"It's not early, you have all received your certificates, how can there be anything early or not early for the wedding?" Liu Wanrong sat next to Lin Xia, took her hand naturally, and said with a smile, "We have met with Mr. Yin and Yang in these three days, no matter which one is set, the three of us adults mean that it is October 6th, just the National Day, many friends have no jobs, and there are many people who come to the wedding." ”
After a pause, she continued, "The Gu family's son's wedding, of course, must be lively. ”
The corners of Lin Xia's mouth twitched, just when the news of Gu Xiaoyun's wedding spread, many people came, how could they say that it was a National Day or not, many people wanted to have a relationship with the Gu family, even if they had a job, they would push it off to attend the wedding.
smiled and looked back at Gu Xiaoyun, "What do you mean?"
"Just do what Aunt Liu said. Gu Xiaoyun's attitude was no longer indifferent, and there was a smile on his face, "You are my Gu Xiaoyun's woman, so naturally you have to let everyone know that the more people who come to the wedding, the better." ”
"But you're not afraid that someone will come to make trouble, right?"
She went to Mu Qing's wedding to make trouble before, and now that they have been released, it is inevitable that they will also come to her wedding to make trouble.
Gu Xiaoyun didn't care, "Whether it's to bless or make trouble, I'll take it all." ”
Lin Xia smiled sweetly, "Okay, listen to you." ”
After the wedding date was determined, Gu Zhentian opened the box next to him, "This is 500,000, our bride price, of course, for the Gu family, these bride prices are a bit small, but it is also for Lin Xia's sake, to avoid letting others gossip about her." ”
"Although the bride price is only 500,000 yuan, I will prepare another generous gift on the wedding day, and I will not treat her badly, and my mother-in-law can rest assured, if you have any requirements, we can discuss it." ”
"My only request is that Tingyun be good to my daughter. Zhou Lan straightened her back and said with a serious face, "Mr. Gu, I know that your family has a big business, and there is no comparison with a small person like us, but Lin Xia was conceived and born in October, even if we are from a poor family, I hope she is well." ”
Saying that, she returned the 500,000 bride price, "Although our family is poor, we will not take your money for nothing, and besides, all the things for the wedding are prepared by you, so this bride price is not needed." ”
Seeing this, Liu Meiying said with a smile, "Sister Zhou, if you say this, you will see the outside, this is not for you, it is a bride price, this is the rule that should be there, if you don't accept it, you will look down on us, besides, if Lin Xia marries into our family, we will definitely treat her well, you don't have to worry about this." ”
"I really can't take this money......"
"Mom, take it. Zhou Lan still wanted to refuse, but Lin Xia persuaded.
"But this ......"
"It's a rule, and you can't break it. After speaking, Lin Xia took out his wallet and took out a bank card from it, "This card has two million, we will accept the bride price, but we also have to take out a good dowry, since the Gu family has a house and a car, then you go and choose a dowry greater than 500,000 bride price!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Zhentian and Liu Meiying glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked in their eyes.
With just one conversation, I knew that Lin Xia was a very smart woman.
She accepted the money, saying that she was not pretentious, because this was the rule, and there was no bride price, but it made people feel that she was not justified, and gave a dowry of more than 500,000 yuan to tell them her position and pride.
It's really killing two birds with one stone!
Mother and daughter were connected, just a look, Zhou Lan understood what Lin Xia meant, and no longer shirked, "Since this is the case, I will accept the bride price, if the dowry is ...... Let's go with a car. ”
A car is nothing to the Gu family, but it is a lot of money for the Lin family, if it was before, Zhou Lan would never dare to say such arrogant words, in order to prevent her daughter from marrying and being looked down upon, she could only do this.
Fortunately, Zhou Zixuan paid two million to Lin Xia, otherwise she wouldn't know what to marry.
"You can decide on the marriage, and we will confirm the wedding. Liu Meiying smiled and discussed with Zhou Lan.
In the next half hour, the three adults talked about the wedding by themselves, but Lin Xia and Gu Xiaoyun did not speak during the whole process.
When the big things are decided, the small details are handled by the parents.
Finally, after the adults finished discussing, Gu Zhentian stood up, "Then it's decided, let's go first." ”
"Shall I leave now? I haven't cooked yet......
"No need, I came very suddenly today, and I'll invite you to dinner another day. ”
Seeing this, Zhou Lan no longer insisted, and said to them before leaving, "In-laws, our Xiaoxia's temper is a bit axial, if you are not satisfied with what you have done at your house in the future, please bear with me, this child has no bad intentions." ”
Maybe she was afraid that Lin Xia would be wronged in the Gu family, so she deliberately said a few more words.
Gu Zhentian nodded and didn't speak, Liu Wanrong took her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lin Xia married Tingyun, which is our daughter, we will tolerate what should be tolerated, let's be elders, just wish the two children happiness." ”
Her words made Gu Xiaoyun a little moved, the expression on her face changed, she opened her mouth to say something, and finally swallowed it again.
"Then I'm relieved. Zhou Lan didn't say much, and sent Gu Zhentian and them downstairs.
