Qu Hao and they walked into Chen Damao's house, they didn't expect that there were many people sitting inside, and after Chen Damao's introduction, they learned that in addition to Da Mao's parents, there were several special guests one by one, Chen Damao's future father-in-law and mother-in-law, they came over today to discuss Chen Damao's marriage together.

Qu Hao and Zheng Shu gave these elders a salute one by one and apologized for Tang Tu's visit, but they didn't care, but were very happy about their arrival.

Qu Hao sent two large bags of gifts to their family, which made the Chen family even more overjoyed, and Da Mao's father hurriedly arranged for fish, meat and other food to be delivered to the kitchen, ready to entertain everyone to have a good meal.

Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi couldn't stay idle, so they began to prepare for cooking in the kitchen, washed and cut the food that Qu Hao bought, and went to the vegetable garden outside the courtyard to pick fresh vegetables.

Qu Hao was worried that it would be inconvenient for them to discuss in his presence, so he pulled Chen Damao aside to speak alone.

"Da Mao, I came to you this time, one is to thank you for saving Meng Yao, and the other is that it may cause you trouble, I want to entrust my sister to you temporarily, because I want to go to Xinzheng immediately, it is inconvenient to take her, not to mention that she has not healed from the cold."

"Thank you you is not necessary, anyone who encounters Meng Yao's scene will not ignore it. There is no problem for your sister to stay here for the time being, and Chen Qing is too late to be happy. But I don't feel at ease when you go to Xinzheng alone, I'll go with you, Li Cang, you don't know him, it's much easier for me to find him. ”

"No, your family is arranging for you to marry a daughter-in-law, and you are leaving, what do you think of the woman's family?"

"I can explain to them clearly if I postpone marrying a daughter-in-law for a few days, and it's not clear whether I can marry or not, just now their family put forward a lot of conditions, if this matter is allowed according to their conditions, because my brother will have to beat a bachelor if they meet their conditions, I don't agree to this, the matter on your side is urgent, I will go out and hide for a few days to let them calm down It will be better."

"That's not good, right? Da Mao, your marriage is a big deal, and your parents are waiting to hold their grandchildren at this age. In this way, I didn't bring any gifts, these five catties of gold should be used as a congratulatory gift from Meng Yao and me, you must accept it. When Qu Hao came, he didn't know what reason he should give Da Mao this money, and he didn't expect to meet him to marry him.

"No, no, no, I can't afford to accept such a heavy gift, and I won't be able to pay it back in the future if I put it away."

"Who said you wanted to return the gift? Meng Yao and I have already been married, and you don't need any gifts, besides, you saved her life, and this bit of gold is much less than the value of her life. ”

"But it costs a lot of money to go to Xinzheng to redeem Mengyao, and this gold is just enough to use, so I resolutely can't accept it."

"I have prepared the money to redeem Mengyao, it is several times this amount, you can rest assured." Qu Hao said and forcibly stuffed the cloth bag containing gold into Da Mao's hand.

Da Mao was holding the bag of gold, and tears were about to flow. "Qu Hao, I thank you on behalf of my parents and the whole family. Didn't you see the previous scene, his family was aggressive, driving my family crazy, my father swallowed his anger, and it made my heart ache. ”

Qu Hao took out another pound of gold and said to Da Mao: "This is my sister's living expenses for living here temporarily, let your family take care of it, and your family will have to worry about it." ”

"I must not accept this money, she will have an extra pair of chopsticks and a bowl here, and our family can't ask for it."

"Then even if this money is a congratulatory gift for Ermao's daughter-in-law, he is not small."

"No, no, no, he's not yet ready to marry a daughter-in-law."

"If you don't accept it, then I'll give Ermao directly, you can't interfere with this, right?"

"Qu Hao, you are so good to our family, I didn't thank you last time your wife cured my father's illness, and now you have given us so much gold, I really don't know what to say."

"You deserve it, it's windy outside, let's go inside."

Da Mao and Qu Hao walked into the house, only to see that Da Mao's parents and in-laws were awkwardly cold, and no one spoke.

After Da Mao sat next to his father, he said to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Uncle and aunt, don't be angry, our family agreed to all the conditions you put forward just now, I know that you are worried that your daughter will suffer, this is human nature, I promise you that you will work hard to make money, and do not let her suffer a little grievance." ”

When Da Mao's father heard this, he was anxious and wanted to stop him from doing this, Da Mao stretched out his hand and firmly held his father's hand.

"Since you've made that promise, we don't have to say anything more. But you have to show a little bit of sincerity, not just words. Da Mao's future father-in-law said.

"There's no problem with this, I'll prepare later, don't be in a hurry to go back, it just so happens that I have so many friends, it's rare for everyone to get together, it's not too late to go back after lunch." Da Mao said.

"Okay, it's rare for you to be so filial, thank you in advance."

Da Mao's father couldn't sit still at this time, thinking that his son's head was in the water, right? Isn't it clear how thick your family is? What is the good condition of accepting these fatal conditions? So he pulled his son aside and asked him why he was so hasty.

Da Mao handed the bag of gold to his father, who opened it and was stunned: "Where did this come from?" ”

"That friend gave me a wedding gift just now." Da Mao told his father.

"How can you afford this?" His father said.

"Let's talk about it later, let's get past this level first." Da Mao said.

Da Mao's father heard him say this, so it was not good to say anything, the spine that was still bent just now straightened up, and after returning to his in-laws, he said to them: "In-laws, I will take you out to see the foundation of the new house for Da Mao in the future." ”

His in-laws were overjoyed when they heard this, because none of the conditions they proposed required the construction of a new house, and now the in-laws took the initiative to say it, wouldn't it be an unexpected joy?

How do you know that Da Mao's mother was sitting there in a daze, thinking about what kind of wrong medicine the father and son had taken, Da Mao hurriedly walked in front of her mother and quietly explained to her, and her mother was so excited that she couldn't restrain herself.

At this time, Chen Ermao on the side was unhappy, and sat there sulking, thinking that this brother is too selfish, right? Spending so much money to please your future parents-in-law, what will you do in the future?

Qu Hao saw that Ermao was unhappy and knew his thoughts, so he pulled him aside and said, "Ermao, I know what you're thinking, you're still young, and your brother won't leave you alone when you get married." ”

"What's he doing? Who knows what kind of sister-in-law will be on the stall? ”

"What kind of person your brother is, you should have confidence in him, no matter what kind of sister-in-law he is, he will not change."

Qu Hao said, took out the pound of gold, and said to him: "This is the congratulatory gift I prepared when you got married, but I was worried that you were too small to manage, so I handed it over to your parents for safekeeping, you have no opinion, right?" ”

Chen Ermao immediately understood why Da Mao and his father were so stiff all of a sudden, and he didn't care about him, so he nodded happily.

Chen Qing only cared about talking to Ziyan, and having a little sister of the same age said that talking was the happiest thing for her. Ziyan was also very happy, and when she came, she was still angry that she couldn't accompany her brother to Xinzheng, so much so that Qu Hao asked her to go down when she got out of the carriage, and at this time, she had already thrown these unhappiness out of the clouds.

The foundation of Da Mao's new house is not far from here, and his father led his in-laws to see and describe how to repair and decorate, and several old people were in a good mood. However, his in-laws never figured it out, and when they first came to talk about their daughter-in-law, the atmosphere was depressing, and after a group of guests came, their family members all changed their bearing and mood.

The two families talked to the guests for a while, and Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi cooked the meals in the kitchen, and a more sumptuous lunch than their New Year lunch made everyone eat heartily.

After lunch, Chen Damao had already prepared a dowry gift for his future daughter-in-law's family: clothes, daily necessities, etc., and the most surprising thing for his future father-in-law and mother-in-law was that there was half a catty of gold in it, which was equivalent to their family's income for several years.
