Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

So, to some extent, the Yuan family and the Xu family are even on par with each other.

As for the Lin family to which Lin Wansheng belongs, although her uncle had a powerful background in the past few years, he was hurt after all, and over the years, he has slowly withdrawn from that circle.

So compared with the Yuan family, the Lin family is slightly inferior.

In terms of ability and future, Lin Maoqing is definitely worthy of Yuan Yuqing, but in terms of family background, Lin Maoqing is a little bit weaker. However, this little bit of weakness can be ignored. After all, Lin Jishang still has face and can pave the way for Lin Maoqing, not to mention that he is the nephew of the Xu family.

Therefore, Lin Maoqing and Yuan Yuqing can be said to be a perfect match.

However, since ancient times, China has had a tradition that the man's family background had better be stronger than the woman's, even if it's only slightly, unless in special circumstances, such as Xu Wanning and Lin An, who had no choice but to do so.

Otherwise, girls from families with some background will be picky about the boy's family background.

In terms of family background, Lin Maoqing could only be said to be not far behind, but could not be said to be far ahead, so Xu Huajing had to find another way and proposed that Lin Maoqing had dividends of several thousand yuan a quarter, and also had two houses in Beijing.

Whether or not to move in is another matter, but these assets alone would shock even a family like the Yuan family.

After all, the people of the Yuan family, like the Xu family, are law-abiding. There are obvious ways to make money, but they disdain to do such things and have been eating a fixed salary.

At first glance, the Lin family, or to be more precise, Lin Maoqing's financial situation is so good, how could they be picky?

After all, Yuan Yuqing is not young anymore. If she misses Lin Maoqing, she may not be able to find someone who satisfies her in all aspects.

Lin Maoqing and Lin Wansheng are siblings, and Yuan Yuqing and Yuan Yusheng are cousins.

If Xu Huajing only said that Lin Maoqing had good financial conditions but did not explain that Lin Wansheng was the same, it might give the Yuan family the illusion that they favored boys over girls.

No matter how well the Yuan family treats Lin Wansheng, they can't help but look down on her subconsciously because they feel that she has no support from her mother's family.

Xu Huajing put Lin Wansheng's conditions and all her advantages out in the open, also to tell the Yuan family that my Wansheng is not marrying up to your family, and if you have any bad thoughts, you should think twice.

This can be regarded as clearing obstacles for Lin Wansheng before getting married. Even if this obstacle may not exist, as a mother, Xu Huajing can think of so much, which is enough to show her love for this daughter.

"As for whether the Yuan family will think too much? My answer is, they will. But what they think is not important to us. What is important is what they do. Sister Wansheng, the wedding date has been verbally set today, but we will definitely have to discuss the betrothal gifts later, right? We don't know exactly what the Yuan family's conditions are, but we can roughly infer them."

"So, what we have to do now is to wait patiently for the Yuan family to come up with the betrothal gift. If their betrothal gift is more than we expected, it means that they attach great importance to this marriage and do not want their son to take advantage of you. From now on, you and Yuan Yusheng should get along as you wish. There is no need to haggle over small amounts of money."

"But if they take the opportunity to reduce the betrothal gift, or if it is not much different from what we expected, it means that they still want to take advantage of us. Then, you have to guard your wallet well, understand?"

After listening to Xu Wanning's series of analyses, Lin Wansheng felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.

She admired Xu Wanning very much, as she could always judge so many things from the subtle details of other people's tone.

Unlike her, she acted on impulse and lost her temper at her mother without even figuring out her mother's intentions.

Thinking of this, Lin Wansheng subconsciously glanced at Xu Huajing, but the other party was already discussing the issue of Lin Maoqing's betrothal gift with Xu's mother and the eldest and second aunts.

Lin Wansheng then regained her attention and whispered, "The Yuan family shouldn't be like this, right?"

Xu Wanning shrugged. "Based on my experience with the Yuan family, I think they should be the first type. They will not take advantage of you, but will pay more attention to you. But you can't judge a person by his appearance, and human nature is the most vulnerable to scrutiny, so we can't take it lightly."

As she spoke, Xu Wanning gently held Lin Wansheng's hand: "Sister Wansheng, don't think too much. Our family will accompany you in everything, and we will never let you suffer any loss!"

"Yeah." Lin Wansheng said vaguely: "But I still hope that the Yuan family and Yuan Yusheng will not let me down. I really like him and sincerely want to live a good life with him."

If the Yuan family had been plotting against her from the beginning, Lin Wansheng wouldn't know how she should face Yuan Yusheng.

On the other hand, Xu Huajing had already calculated Lin Maoqing's betrothal gift.

"Mao Qing's two houses are not included in the betrothal gift. I plan to give the Yuan family 3,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, and prepare the other three turns and one ring. In addition, I will buy Yuqing two nice clothes."

"You don't have to buy clothes. Just go to Aning's tailor shop and have them custom made. They're no worse than what you buy outside."

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this! Three thousand yuan, isn't it a little too little?"

The eldest aunt patted Xu Huajing on the shoulder and said, "Sister, the current betrothal gift in Beijing is generally 500 to 600 yuan. 3,000 yuan is already a sky-high betrothal gift."

Not to mention there's something else.

Mother Xu said, "Let's decide on the betrothal gift for now. We'll see how much the Yuan family gave Wan Sheng, and then increase or decrease it appropriately. They are siblings, so the difference can't be too big."

Xu Huajing nodded: "This is the only way for now."

The Yuan family did not make the Lin family wait too long. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Yuan family invited the entire Lin and Xu families to their home. Nominally, the two families were going to have a simple meal together, but everyone knew that this was to once and for all settle the matter of four children and two couples.

Before leaving in the morning, Lin Quan refused to let Xu Wanning take the children with her.

"Sister-in-law, when we lost our aunt's house, it was reasonable for the children to go with us, but after all, they are not married yet, and they are not relatives yet. It is not appropriate for the children to go with us."

Besides, we have important matters to discuss today, and it would be a bit too noisy if the children came along.

Lin's mother also advised: "Just listen to Quanquan this time. You can go by yourself. Leave the four children at home. The two of us will take care of them."
