Chapter 348: Bargaining for filial piety
Mrs. Chen was only slightly skeptical, but she didn't ask much.
"Then you sleep well, and Mom goes to sleep too."
Mrs. Chen said, remembering Chen Yongdao's attitude just now, and sighed again: "Your father, although he usually looks towards our mother and daughter, but this matter involves the interests of the Chen family, and if your father thinks about it, he will favor Chen Feiyan's cheap girl." He thinks that helping that cheap girl has a better chance of winning......"
Before Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Chen Manman was anxious.
"So what should I do?"
There are good and high-quality men, can she not yearn for it?
She is not married now, and she is twenty-seven or eighteen, and if she doesn't pick again, it will be even more difficult in the future.
She is definitely not as stupid as her sister, just talk about love, and put herself in it.
Even if they are older, women who are not married are more marketable than women who have been married and divorced, right?
So before getting married, as long as there are men with good conditions, know more if you can know, pick if you can, don't wait for the real marriage in the future to find out that you are actually married to a scumbag, at that time to cry, it's too late.
Mrs. Chen patted the back of her daughter's hand: "Don't worry, I have my own way to do this." Didn't your dad want to match that? Then let's tear it down. ”
Chen Manman lay back: "Well, you go to sleep." ”
Mrs. Chen patted the back of her daughter's hand and left the room.
Chen Manman's side immediately called back to the person who called in front of her, although she has a new goal, but she can't slack off, and in the end, who can develop, that's really uncertain.
Mrs. Chen went back this time, and she was finally able to fall asleep.

Sheng Jianian contacted the Xu family, mentioned the money, and discussed a more appropriate figure.
But this matter is still solved by the Xu family.
Because the grandmother of the Jiang family is looking for the Xu family, if Sheng Jianian appears this time, it will make the old man of the Jiang family feel that Sheng Jianian is a master who responds to requests.
Sheng Jianian thought that 100,000 yuan was very suitable, but the Xu family heard that the Jiang family also had a younger son and a family staying in the broken ground of Benjiang, and learned that the old man of the Jiang family was the one who was bent on being small. Then these 100,000 are also unacceptable, at most 50,000.
The figure of 50,000 is also what Mrs. Xu said in the Jiang family, and it is very suitable for the two old men.
On this day, Mrs. Xu and the two aunts in the family made an appointment with the Jiang family in a café near Xitang Century City.
It was probably after the last time, and Mrs. Xu knew that it was very dangerous to go to someone's house.
This time, not only Aunt Gui and Sister-in-law Lan were brought, but even the driver followed.
Naturally, this is also the meaning of the Carnival Year.
Sheng Jianian is naturally biased towards the Jiang family and the Xu family, and most of his heart is naturally biased towards the Jiang family. Because Jiang Xi is wholeheartedly in the Jiang family, but Jiang Xi can also distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
Sheng Jianian looked at the Jiang family, except for Jiang's mother, who was a clear person, everyone else, including Jiang's father, was a foolish person, a foolish and filial piety.
In the face of right and wrong, such as this incident, he must stand on the side of the reasonable Xu family.
Therefore, Sheng Jianian specially mentioned that Mrs. Xu should not go alone, even if Xu Zhicheng was busy with work and couldn't accompany him, he would also bring his aunt at home.
It's not that you want to be around, your own people are around, that's the confidence.
No, that's why these people are here today.
The Jiang family is still the grandparents of the Jiang family, and there is still a Jiang's father who has been in trouble for a year, but he doesn't know what to do.
The three of them sat on the sofa of the booth, Mrs. Xu sat opposite the three, Aunt Gui and Mrs. Lan stood behind Mrs. Xu one by one, and the driver was also waiting aside.
As soon as Father Jiang sat down, he immediately apologized: "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Xu, you should call early so that we can come out early." You know, my legs are not very convenient, and I kept you waiting. ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "It's okay." ”
The words fell, and the money in the white bag was directly placed on the coffee table, "This is the intention of the Xu family, purely because of the daughter's wedding, and the intention of your second elder to come to Yundu from Benjiang." ”
Grandma Jiang was a little stunned, and the other party directly skipped Father Jiang's greetings, and just entered the topic, which was really surprising.
However, Grandma Jiang didn't think much about it, and immediately stepped forward to open the envelope.
"How much is that? Aren't your Xu family very rich? Don't send people like Hanako. Jiang Xi grew up in our Jiang family, she is married, you don't give us hundreds of thousands of Jiang family, just use this broken money to fool us, do you want to be shameless? Do you have a conscience? ”
Grandma Jiang asked as she took out all the money from the bag.
The white bag was just a simple paste of white paper, and it was not big, so the dissatisfaction and contempt in Grandma Jiang's heart were written on her face.
She took the money out of it and laid it out on the table.
The Jiang family is not a wealthy family, and the old lady doesn't know how much money there is in this stack, so it's not clear.
So Grandma Jiang didn't hesitate to start counting the money and ignored anyone.
Before Mrs. Xu could speak, Sister-in-law Lan spoke up: "I've seen shameless, I've never seen your family so shameless!" When our family found Miss Jiang Xi back then, they gave you 200,000 yuan from the Jiang family! That would be equivalent to leveling the relationship between your Jiang family. You have received the money, and now that Miss Jiang Xi is married, you want to blackmail the Xu family's money. Do you think the Xu family is responsive? ”
"Not blackmail......"
Father Jiang hurriedly retorted, Grandma Jiang is now obsessed with counting money, can't be distracted, and can't hear what others say, so only Father Jiang has no confidence to defend this sentence.
Aunt Gui immediately answered: "Don't you know that Mr. Jiang doesn't know that back then, from the moment you received the Xu family's money, your Jiang family had nothing to do with Miss Jiang Xi. ”
Father Jiang wanted to speak and stopped, Grandpa Jiang's voice was a little small, but it was still enough to hear.
He said: "The 200,000 yuan given by your family at the beginning was just a thank you fee for Jiang Xi to live in the Jiang family for 20 years and our family for raising her, that's all." ”
Sister-in-law Lan said angrily: "Old man, don't be so unconscionable when you speak. ”
"Yes, old man, our Xu family respects you as old people, and our wife and master are only tolerant of giving you this money for the sake of you two being old men of the Jiang family, just to replace Miss Jiang Xi's filial piety to you. To be honest, the debt between the Xu family and the Jiang family was flattened out by the 200,000 yuan two years ago. Today's 50,000 yuan is on behalf of Miss Jiang Xi's filial piety to your second elder. I hope you don't get an inch, thinking that the Xu family really owes you, and you must have something to ask for. If you come to the door again to make these non-sub-points, our Xu family can call the police to deal with it. ”
As soon as he heard the alarm, Grandpa Jiang was also a little panicked.
He has no education, let alone the law, so he doesn't know if he can call the police to deal with this matter.
"The police still care about this?" Grandpa Jiang asked Father Jiang puzzled.
Father Jiang opened his mouth and hesitated: "Maybe it is, they can judge who is right and who is wrong, just like the ancient yamen." ”
In ancient times, the yamen could also handle family affairs, but how clear this matter is, just give money, and the Xu family is not nothing, so why call the police?
Mrs. Xu said: "We are not going to threaten to call the police, but if the grandparents cannot accept today's peace talks, then we can only call the police." Only the police can be fair and impartial and not take sides, right? ”
Father Jiang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, there is no need for this, we have no other requirements. Mainly my parents...... Alas, the old people, they are very old-fashioned. I think that Xixi grew up in our family, and our family has never treated her as an outsider, and we only learned when you found out that the two daughters were exchanged when they were young. So there's no reason why we shouldn't treat us as our own children. Therefore, the child belongs to our Jiang family, and when the child gets married, it is not wrong for grandparents to have such a requirement. ”
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Yes, so for our sake, and also for the sake of the whole thing, we took 50,000 yuan for the second elder, and it should be regarded as a substitute for filial piety." I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”
"Yes, our wife is kind-hearted, but it was only because of your old man of the Jiang family that she applied for this money from our old man for the sake of the old man's face. Our wife respects the elderly very much, but if the elderly themselves are not self-respecting, our wife does not need to be polite......"
"Sister-in-law Lan." Xu Tai interrupted in a low voice.
Sister-in-law Lan immediately shut up and said no more.
Father Jiang hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Xu, for your kindness, and thank you for everything you have done for Xixi, thank you very much." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled back, and then her gaze fell on the old lady.
The old lady of the Jiang family had already counted out eight parts of a stack of money at this moment, and it was about a thousand yuan and put it aside alone, and it had already been divided into eight parts.
Time and space are relatively static, and sure enough, the last one is put down, ten, one thousand.
"10,000 yuan a stack, there is nothing missing in these, right? If it hadn't been less, it would have been 50,000 yuan. Grandma Jiang spoke up.
This was far more than she expected, she thought that the Xu family was discussing how to deal with the Jiang family these days. Although she shouted an astronomical figure of 500,000, she never actually thought about that number.
Grandma Jiang thought very simply, isn't that the same as buying vegetables and cooking rice, people shouted highly, you have to kill people to buy vegetables, and people don't give you less money?
So she shouted high, shouting a number that she was shocked to hear.
However, at that time, Mrs. Xu gave a counteroffer of 50,000 yuan, and after a few days here, if they have a new deal plan, it must be lower than the price that Mrs. Xu paid back at the beginning.
Grandma Jiang was ready in her heart, seeing people coming, the envelopes on the table were so small, it didn't feel like how much money could be held, at most a few thousand bigger.
Who knows, this number, this 10,000 yuan is quite enough.
Grandma Jiang's words made the Xu family angry and disdainful.
Sister-in-law Lan snorted lightly: "Don't treat others with yourself, if you don't worry, you can count them all, won't it be over?" ”
When Grandma Jiang heard this, "That's right, it's still only me who can trust it, and when it comes to money, I have to come by myself." ”
Saying this, I really started counting the money again, and I counted the tens of thousands one by one.
