In fact, Tang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong. Even if she paid for Xie Wan to open an acupuncture clinic, it would definitely be considered as a stake. She was not a sucker and would not do anything that would put her at a disadvantage.

Old Yao's unsightly expression remained unchanged: "Xie Wan married into your family, and she didn't value your money. Besides, none of this betrothal gift was earned by the third kid, so we don't want so much."

These words made Tang Wenjin's face burn. To put it bluntly, he was useless and good for nothing, and he also brought trouble to the family.

Mother Tang didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long time, she spoke carefully: "Xie Wan is the child of your wealthy family after all. We certainly can't treat her unfairly... Besides, we haven't split up the family. The money earned by the eldest and second sons is handed over to me. The betrothal gifts we offer have been discussed by the family and there is no objection."

Elder Yao looked at Xie Zhikun, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this, we'll give the acupuncture clinic to Xie Wan as a dowry, and the rest will be as you said before."

The bride price was 18,888, which was a sky-high price for a country person. But after all, given the status of Mr. Yao and the Xie family, they had to give them some face.

Seeing that no one objected, Tang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, tomorrow is the Little New Year, so the engagement must be held before the New Year. The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day, how about we get engaged on that day?"

The matter was settled, and after dinner, the Tang family went back to prepare for the engagement.

Before leaving, Tang's mother gave Tang Wenjin 500 yuan and asked him to take Xie Wan to buy a new set of clothes to wear for the engagement.

Just as the two were about to leave, Tang Zheng stopped them and said, "Let's talk."

In the office, Xie Wan and Tang Wenjin both looked confused, as if the engagement had nothing to do with them.

This is why Tang Zheng wanted to talk to two people.

"What are your plans for this matter?"

Xie Wan: "Whatever."

Tang Wenjin: "You have the final say."

Tang Zheng guessed that this was the case: "So, you didn't take this matter to heart at all, then how are you going to live in the future?"

Tang Wenjin: "I can do anything."

Xie Wan: "Me too."

Tang Zheng was a little upset: "Once you get married, you will be a family. You must take care of each other and tolerate each other..."

Xie Wan interrupted Tang Zheng impatiently: "Isn't this untied?"

Tang Wenjin: "Yes, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Tang Zheng took a breath: "So, you have no feelings for each other?"

Xie Wan shook her head: "I can only say that we are brothers."

Tang Wenjin nodded: "Brothers with similar ideals."

If Tang Zheng wasn't pregnant, she really wanted to flip the table.

Seeing Tang Zheng's expression, Tang Wenjin quickly added, "It's not time to get married yet. Let's get the wedding arranged first so that the family can be at ease. As for the wedding, that's a matter for the future. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Tang Zheng was speechless for a while: "You guys just treat this as a game. Your family will definitely be sad if they know about this."

Xie Wan immediately said confidently: "We are the ones who are sad. You just decided on our marriage so casually. Did you ask for our opinions?"

Tang Zheng finally understood that these two people were just trying to please their relatives.

Things have come to this point, Tang Zheng has nothing to say, and now he feels that she is meddling in his affairs.

"Okay, you go and do your work."

Xie Wan suddenly came close to Tang Zheng and said, "Sister, I'm getting engaged soon, you should show some appreciation, right?"

Tang Zheng: "Just say it."

"Don't you need new clothes for an engagement? You already have a clothing store, so why should I go so far?"

Tang Zheng was a little slow to react for a moment, and Tang Wenjin said directly: "What she meant was to pick clothes from your clothing store without paying."

Xie Wan glared at Tang Wenli, then said to Tang Zheng with a smile: "Although his words were harsh, this is what I meant."

"Didn't my mother leave 500 yuan for clothes?"

These days, five hundred yuan can buy almost ten sets of clothes. Why should you take advantage of her?

Xie Wan licked her lips and said, "Well, we can't spend money carelessly even if we have money. We have to save it for emergencies..."

Tang Zheng ignored her and looked at Tang Wenjin.

Tang Wenjin said, "There was a football match in Shen City before, and she lost the bet. She has to pay back the debt of 500 yuan."

Tang Zheng rubbed his temple. Either one or both of them would be a problem. If they got together, would the Tang family still have a good life?

After sending the people away, Tang Zheng drank half a teacup of water.

It was the Little New Year and Tang Zheng wanted to invite Mr. Wei to his home to celebrate the New Year, so his mother suggested that Mr. Yao and the Xie family come so that the two families could get to know each other.

Tang Zheng did not approve of this matter, because she knew that Xie Wan and Tang Wenjin were just perfunctorily dealing with the two families. If they were to separate again one day, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

Tang Zheng did not mention this matter, but Tang's mother brought it up with Old Yao herself. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed.

Tang Zheng was also a little confused.

Early in the morning, Tang's mother started preparing lunch. Yan Jingning had a big belly and it was inconvenient for him to do it, so Tang's mother was too busy to handle it alone. So Tang Wenli brought the Qiao family over as well. With the help of Qiao Yufang's wife, everything was in order.

At noon, Yao's family arrived and the place became lively.

When the villagers learned that 26-year-old Tang Wenjin was about to get engaged to Xie Wan, they were all shocked.

Although the villagers did not know Xie Zhikun's true identity, they all knew Old Yao. Old Yao was a miracle doctor. Xie Wan was good-looking and a city dweller from Beijing. The Tang family was just of peasant origin, so it was simply a mismatch.

There is a saying that goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. The Tang family has changed its appearance directly through Xie Wan.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you..."

The sumptuous meal was served and everyone had just taken their seats when Wei Bowen's voice was heard from outside.

Tang Zheng's face changed and he wished he could break the chopsticks in his hand.

Wei Bowen's appearance at this time is definitely not a good thing. She swore that if Wei Bowen dared to do anything wrong, she would let Mu Ran beat him to death!

"Oh, it's so lively!"

Wei Bowen was surprised to see two large tables full of people in the room.

Mr. Wei frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wei Boen put the things in his hand on the cabinet: "It's the Little New Year now. I know you are here, so I came to wish you a happy new year. After all, we are all family."

Tang's mother stood up and said quickly: "Yes, yes, it's good that you're here, please sit down!"

As she spoke, she gave up her seat.

Wei Boen pretended to be touched: "That's great. I used to celebrate the holidays in Huayang alone. I was lonely. Now we are a family. From now on, I will have a place to eat for free!"

Tang Zheng ignored him, and Old Man Wei didn't say anything either.

Tang's mother smiled and said, "Yes, come to our house during the New Year and other festivals in the future. Tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you!"

"Who is this……"

Wei Bowen's eyes fell on Xie Zhikun. In fact, he already knew Xie Zhikun's identity and was just waiting for someone to introduce him and then get close to Xie Zhikun.
