Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

"Okay, I'll prepare the dowry myself. You can give these things to whomever you want."

Zhong Meihui was suffocating in her heart. She would never be laughed at by others like that again in her life. She kicked the plastic basins and asked her parents to give them away, so as not to end up with a pile of rags. Gain a reputation as a "rich dowry".

"Hmph, you have strong wings now, right? You actually look down on the dowry given by your parents. Okay, from now on, don't even think about getting a penny from me. Then don't say that I don't care about the love between father and daughter. Affection!"

Zhong Meihui's father was furious at her. He felt that the few quilts he could give Zhong Meihui were a blessing from her previous life. What more could a girl want?

What's more, Zhong Meihui must have saved money after working outside for so many years. It's good that her parents didn't ask her for it. She actually wanted to get something from them. She was just a white-eyed wolf.

"Okay, okay, Meihui is getting married soon. If you scold her like this, the neighbors will laugh at our family."

When Zhong Meihui's mother heard her husband's roar, she hurriedly poked her head out of the kitchen. Their family had just been envied by the people around them because they had received [-] yuan in gifts. If these conflicts escalated outside, Chu Shoucheng would What to do if the engagement is broken off? It will be their whole family that will be embarrassed.

"Then take good care of her and let her know that until she gets married, she will still be the daughter of this family, and it is not her turn to make the decision in everything!"

Zhong Meihui's father hid in the back room and smoked a dry cigarette silently in the room. He naturally knew that this marriage could never be canceled. Otherwise, at least half of the bride price would have to be returned. How could he be willing to give the money he got to others like this.

"The money at home must be kept for your brother and cannot be used as a dowry for you. If you don't like these things, forget it. It just so happens that the bedding at home doesn't need to be made new."

Zhong Meihui’s mother took those quilts back to her house and began to carefully dismantle them. Only then did Zhong Meihui realize that these quilts were not brand new. The cotton inside was all old cotton wadding, and it had turned black. Look. Been using it for many years.

Zhong Meihui was shocked. She didn't expect that her mother was not even willing to buy her a new quilt. She directly took apart the old quilt at home and made it for her to use in her new house.

This practice is very rare in the poorest families. Newly married people are covered with old quilts. Only their parents can think of such an unlucky thing.

"Mom, how can you be so cruel? Could it be that a gift of 10 yuan can't even buy a few good quilts!"

Zhong Meihui rushed directly to the back room, wanting to ask for an explanation, but her mother bluntly said that all the money in the family was reserved for her son, and Zhong Meihui was not qualified to take it, and those gifts were also pension money given to them by filial piety, which was impossible. return to.

Anyway, Zhong Meihui married into another family, so she could just ask Chu Shoucheng for money to buy whatever she wanted.

Things reached a deadlock at this point. Zhong Meihui was still unable to vent her resentment, but her parents had a marriage-or-not-marriage attitude and didn't want to care about Zhong Meihui's affairs at all.

In the end, Chu Shoucheng came over and asked Zhong Meihui's mother-in-law how many people they wanted to invite, which pushed the wedding process a step further.

According to the custom of Lu County, when getting engaged, the two newlyweds give greeting gifts to the guests, and when they get married, it is time to receive gifts.

Zhong Meihui's parents naturally didn't want to miss this good opportunity to receive gift money. Even though they had fallen out with Zhong Meihui, they still wrote down all the relatives and friends they could think of.

On the contrary, Zhong Meihui's place is extraordinarily simple. She only went to elementary school and junior high school. She has been working outside for so many years and has never come back. She didn't follow the etiquette when others got married. How can she be embarrassed to ask others now.

Now, only Liao Yuzhen is the only one of my friends and classmates in my hometown that I still have contact with. I can just invite her to come when the time comes.

"Yuzhen is our wedding planner, so she comes naturally. After your parents decide on the list, just send it to me directly. I will make arrangements at the hotel."

After Chu Shoucheng took care of Zhong Meihui's parents, he felt very happy. He felt that things should have gone smoothly at this point, but he did not expect that Zhong Meihui's family had no trouble, but his own family had problems first.

"Shou Cheng, why don't we set up a few tables at home this time and invite Chef Zhang from the east of the village to come over to cook and make it a little lively? Don't make too much of a fuss. After all, this isn't the first time you're getting married."

Chu Shoucheng's mother insisted on keeping everything simple, because Chu Shoucheng was married for the second time and had already asked relatives and friends around him to give gifts once. His parents were worried that if he did it seriously again, others would gossip and think that their family was trying to make money.

So they just wanted to invite Zhong Meihui's family over for a meal, and there was no need to invite relatives and friends of the Chu family.

"Mom and Dad, it doesn't matter whether those people take gifts or not, but this wedding banquet must not be held at home. I am getting married for the second time, but Meihui is getting married for the first time. For the next wedding, all the relatives and elders of the groom's family will not be there. What does this mean? , why are you treating her so slowly!"

Chu Shoucheng was immediately anxious when he heard that his parents were hosting a banquet at home. Chef Zhang had some skills, but the dishes he prepared were similar to those in the university cafeteria. They were all meat dishes with big fish and meat, thick oil and heavy sauce.

In the past, everyone's income was low, so it was good to have a meaty meal.But now there are more hotels in the county. On weekdays, wedding banquets and birthday banquets are already held in hotels in the county. Only people who have nothing to do will ask Chef Zhang to cook village banquets.

Zhong Meihui, a girl getting married for the first time, just held a village banquet, and she would have to be laughed at by others in the future.

"Shou Cheng, since she has found you, she should know the result. When you got engaged, your parents spent a lot of money, and now you get a lot of money from your marriage. You opened a bank as your parents."

Chu Shoucheng's sister-in-law became furious when she thought of the 10 yuan gift at the engagement party. Although Chu Shoucheng had explained countless times that the money belonged to Zhong Meihui, her sister-in-law didn't believe anything she said and still thought it was. His parents-in-law were partial and only subsidized Chu Shoucheng.

Now that she heard that Chu Shoucheng was going to the county to hold a banquet, she was even more unhappy. She felt that everything in the family was biased towards him, and everything was a few steps higher than when she got married.

"I didn't spend a penny on my parents when I got engaged, and I won't spend a cent on getting married. We will be responsible for the money for this wedding banquet ourselves. The banquet will be held at 9 noon on the 8th, and the location will be Building [-] of the County Hotel. It's settled. !”

After Chu Shoucheng saw these people forming a group to embarrass him, he directly finalized the matter without any hint of discussion in his tone.

When he married such a good wife, all his relatives and friends must be present to witness the most important moment in his life.
