Chapter 16: Strange and Oozing
"Congratulations, sister." This shout from her sister gave her goosebumps.
"Thank you, brother." An Xiaoning returned it to him, crossed her legs, and pinched the soles of her feet, "If you have something to say, don't just look at me, it's weird." ”
Gu Beicheng came in, walked up to her and stood in front of her, "Since your grandparents have given you a wedding gift, my brother should also come to give something to show his gratitude." He handed her the bracelet in his palm, "Here's for you." ”
An Xiaoning saw that it was a jade bracelet, thinking that he bought it, so she said, "Where did I buy this bracelet, it looks like a good jade bracelet." ”
"You can't buy it on the market." He looked down at her, "Keep it up, it's better to wear it on your wrist." ”
An Xiaoning likes it, "Thank you, it's just, shouldn't you eat people with soft mouths and short hands?" ”
"Think about it more, count it as what my brother gave you." He turned and strode out.
An Xiaoning tried to wear it on her wrist, and suddenly felt inexplicably comfortable physically and mentally, a bracelet with aura, she liked it.
As soon as Gu Beicheng went out, An's mother immediately came in and asked with joy on her face, "The diamond that your son-in-law gave you to show your mother must be worth a lot of money." ”
An Xiaoning asked, "When did you come?" ”
"This morning, you told your mother the truth, how many tens of thousands of dowries did you give?"
"I didn't ask for a bride price, so don't ask."
"Didn't ask for a bride price? You stupid girl, why not, I'll ask your mother-in-law later. Mother Ann said, "You don't want it, I'll ask your father." ”
"You can pull it down, if you dare to open your mouth, I will never see you again, I mean it." An Xiaoning warned, "Don't embarrass me. ”
Mother Ann sat beside her and said, "I live in the countryside with your father, how poor my life is, you are now a young grandmother, and you will not be sympathetic to your parents, but you are blessed." ”
"If I hadn't married him now, I would have been beaten to death by you and my dad, what kind of people you and my dad are, I know clearly, let's go back after eating."
"Xiao Ning, okay, are you driving me and your dad away? If it weren't for me and your dad, you'd have died a long time ago. ”
An Xiaoning was tired all over her and didn't want to argue with her.
"Your brother dropped out of school and wants to open a shop in the city, knowing that you are now married to a very rich family, let me ask you to take some money to fund him." Mother An said, "Your brother is going to marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, he wants to start a small business by himself now, you support him, and he will be better off in the future, Xiao Ning, should you not help your brother?" ”
"How much?"
"What he calculated for me was that it would cost 1.2 million yuan to buy two storefront houses in a good location in the city, 200,000 yuan for simple decoration, 200,000 yuan for doing business, and 20,000 yuan for simple furniture and miscellaneous furniture, which is ...... total."
Before she finished speaking, An Xiaoning looked at her, "You don't count it, you have to be 1.6 or 7 million, good guy, you want to invest in a big one, can't you rent a house?" ”
"Your brother said that renting a house costs tens of thousands of dollars a year, so it's better to buy it yourself, it's your own for decades."
An Xiaoning said bluntly, "I don't have so much money for him." ”
"Xiao Ning, I'm your mother, you're still going around the bend in front of your mother, today your mother can see it, what kind of godfather and godmother of yours give you a lot of red envelopes and gifts, those few also have a few millions, and it's not for others, what's wrong with helping your brother?"
An Xiaoning suddenly felt upset, she was a flesh-and-blood person, even if she was her own mother, she couldn't forget that they had cursed her and abandoned her face.
"I want to rest."
"Okay, it's really for nothing to ask for your girl." After saying that, An's mother went out.
An Xiaoning looked at the sky and sighed.
——
During dinner in the evening, Mrs. Jin asked, "Xiao Ning, what is the matter with you and this Gu family?" ”
"Grandma, Old Man Gu is the man my master loves the most in his life, he thinks I am my goddaughter, maybe he also loves the house and Wu, I don't think it means anything else."
Old Madam Jin said solemnly, "You are too hasty in this matter, the Gu family has always paid attention to genealogy and bloodline, why did you let you enter the family tree so easily?" I think there's something wrong, maybe it's a huge conspiracy, and it just started with you. ”
An Xiaoning said with a smile, "Grandma, what you think is too complicated, it's not that serious." ”
"Yes, since this matter is a foregone conclusion, then I won't say anything, by the way, your mother said that your family is in great trouble and urgently needs money, so let your mother-in-law give her the bride price money, do you know about this?"
An Xiaoning's face changed, "How much did she want?" ”
"Two million."
"Did you give her the money?"
"Given."
An Xiaoning hurriedly stood up, "I'm going to come back." ”
"Little Lemon, don't ......"
"Grandma, this money shouldn't be given." She turned and walked out the door.
Let the driver take her back to the countryside.
Along the way, An Xiaoning was very anxious, not because of the amount of money, she felt that her family should not take this money, because her mother-in-law had sent a lot of jewelry and clothes before, and it cost a lot of money, especially when she got married and gave a big red envelope, how could she ask for another two million bride price, her mother's approach made her lose face.
Asked the driver to park the car at the entrance of the village, and she rushed home alone.
The door was half open, An Xiaoning stepped in, there was no light in the courtyard, the door of the hall was hidden, and the sound of talking and TV came from inside.
She walked fast and lightly, and was just about to ascend the steps when the conversation inside made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"This dead girl, you didn't look at her today, I think she obviously doesn't want to recognize us, if it weren't for us, she would have frozen to death on the side of the road, I was right to take this money today, I didn't expect this Jin family to be very generous, so much money was given, much stronger than the Shi family, it seems that in the future, our family will not have to worry about the rest of our lives."
"Mom, let's go to the city tomorrow to look at the storefront, okay?" An Xiaonan hurriedly asked.
"Do you think you really bought you a storefront?" Mother An said honestly, "This is just an excuse to ask your sister for money, so much money for you to take and squander, and it will soon be gone, I don't know about your big spending?" If you really want to do business, I will invest some with your father, you rent a house, and I will keep the rest with your father. ”
"I'll tell my sister to go."
"You tell her to take care of a fart, oops, when she went down the mountain, she luckily let her enter this house again, otherwise where would she get so much money, this is a cash cow."
Father An sighed, "If I hadn't insisted on picking her up and taking her home back then, would I have had the good things I have now?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's all your credit."
An Xiaoning pushed open the door with all her strength, and the three people inside, who had a good atmosphere, looked at her at the door and were immediately dumbfounded.
