Chapter 223 Arranged Marriage in the 1970s 17(1/2)

The gazes of Mr. Mu and others were too obvious. Father Cheng's face turned pale and he shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I was just teasing you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Jiayan quickly said: "Yes, how could dad give you a dowry of three hundred, don't worry -"

Mr. Mu also smiled: "Yes, how could Dad give you just this? Don't think too much."

Cheng Yanling shook his head and said seriously: "It's really not necessary. Grandpa has given me enough. I am very satisfied. The tree is big and attracts the wind. Besides, it is not easy for him to raise so many people. There is no need to give it to me. Grandpa Mu, that's it."

."

Cheng's father was really sweating this time. He couldn't believe that Cheng Yanling was so generous and dared to say anything? Wasn't he afraid that her husband's family would treat her badly in the future if they knew she didn't have her mother's protection?!

But she said it openly.

Even in front of her husband’s family, she directly said that she didn’t want the dowry from him?

Wouldn't your husband's family be angry if you push the money away?

Cheng's father looked at Mu Zhou's parents.

At this time, Mu Zhou's parents were also a little surprised, but they thought differently from Cheng's father. From the beginning, they never thought about how much dowry Cheng Yanling would bring. After all, they were neither short of money nor greedy. If they were really greedy, they wouldn't

One is a doctor and the other is a teacher.

But Cheng Yanling insisted that they didn't say anything, their expressions were calm, and they were even in the mood to trim their daughter's hair.

Cheng's father looked at Mu Zhou again, but he didn't know that this man was yawning out of boredom, drowsy, and didn't care at all!

Cheng's father angrily turned and finally looked at Mr. Mu. His daughter who had returned halfway was not afraid of anyone, but she was quite considerate of the old man.

When he saw it, Mr. Mu was staring at Cheng Yanling. He thought about it and was about to explain that he had actually prepared a sum of money. After all, he was really marrying into the Mu family. How could he not give it?

At that time, I gave three hundred. Firstly, Cheng Yanling was angry and righteous, and secondly, she thought that Cheng Yanling would never marry into the Mu family. For other ordinary families, the three hundred gift was a lot.

Before he could speak, Mr. Mu said first, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Yanling smiled and said: "I'm sure, I'm not greedy. Grandpa gave me a lot, and my mother left me a share. It's all already with me. It's a lot."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent. When everyone mentioned the things left by Mr. Cheng, the first thing they thought of was the huge sum of money, and they all looked at it with envy.

On the other hand, Cheng's father's heart sank. Looking at the girl who was obviously saying something related to him but not looking at him at all, he always felt that the other party was drawing a clear line with him.

It's just that the family scandal should not be made public. He was not as shameless as Cheng Yanling. He swallowed all his words and planned to talk to her after he got back.

But this is not the case for others, especially Xia Xiao'e.

Because of her son's affairs, she now particularly dislikes Cheng Yanling, so she has been paying attention to it. When she heard that the bride price was three thousand, she was still thinking about how much Mu Ze would get when she gets married.

Suddenly I heard Cheng Yanling's words - "I'm sure, I'm not greedy. Grandpa gave me a lot, and my mother left me a share. It's all already with me. It's a lot."

Xia Xiao'e was so excited that she was shocked and couldn't help but interjected: "You have all the things Mr. Cheng left?!"

Cheng Yanling nodded readily: "Yes, it's all with me."

Xia Xiao'e immediately looked at Zou Ping.

At the same time, Du Miaoxue's expression changed drastically, and she finally raised her head to look at Father Cheng.

Father Cheng: "..."

Zou Ping also looked away guiltily.

Xia Xiao'e sneered and lowered her eyes.

Mr. Mu glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law displeasedly, and when he saw that she did not continue to speak, he looked at Cheng Yanling, his eyes became gentler, and he nodded generously: "Okay, that's it. You two can discuss it yourself.

, if there’s anything you can’t solve, come back to me.”

Cheng Yanling obediently agreed.

——

At this point, all that's left is the wedding.

At this time, everything at the wedding is kept simple. It's basically just family members, some very close friends have a meal, and the rest is bought some candies and sprinkled around. That's enough, no big deal.

After discussing it, the food was cooked.

Aunt Zhang shouted, and Mu Ze, who had been hiding upstairs, came down.

Du Miaoxue hurriedly looked at her mother.

Zou Ping gritted her teeth, and before everyone stood up, she said: "Old man, you have already discussed the marriage of your fourth child, so Mu Ze and my Du Miaoxue have been dating each other for such a long time, shouldn't it be settled?

Already?"

After saying this, she blushed with embarrassment, but she had to say it.

At this point, if she didn't say anything, Xia Xiao'e might have to delay it. It would be better to settle the matter directly while Mr. Mu is here.

After she finished speaking, everyone was stunned and looked at Mu Ze and Du Miaoxue.

Mu Ze's face was not beaten and he was quite handsome. Hearing this, a blush appeared on his face and he looked very happy: "Grandpa!"

Xia Xiao'e's expression changed and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Father Mu looked at his son and then at his father.

Mr. Mu stared: "What do you think I am doing? This is your son!"

Mu’s father: “…”

He thought his father would handle it, after all, his son was the eldest grandson! Unfortunately, Mr. Mu didn't say anything, so he pushed Xia Xiao'e away. Usually his wife would take part in such matters.

Xia Xiao'e twitched her lips and looked a little ugly. She was already dissatisfied with this marriage.

It's just that the current situation cannot be ignored. The family members of the family know about the relationship between his son and Du Miaoxue.

Just when she was hesitating, Mr. Mu couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to say: "It just so happens that these two happy events will be held together. Mu Ze is the boss, or we can do it two days in advance and Mu Zhou's two days later."

"Okay." Xia Xiao'e agreed bravely. Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to continue, she had to say: "You see, I almost forgot that these two children are now older. It's time to decide, then...the bride price

We also have three turns and one ring here. Our family is different from the fourth brother’s family. We have two sons, so we need to add another two thousand and five thousand. What do you think?"

She also wants to make a fool of herself, but the family’s daily expenses are the old man’s, but the younger family’s expenses are their own wages. She spends a lot on weekdays, and her two sons also spend a lot. Two thousand and five thousand is really a lot.

Three thousand is too much. After all, her youngest son is about to turn sixteen and will be engaged in two years. It also costs money to hold a wedding banquet!

Mu Ze frowned a little, but just by looking at Xia Xiao'e's expression, he knew that she had already given a lot. He hesitated for a moment and said proactively: "I have saved some in the past two years of work, so I will add five hundred to it."

The third daughter-in-law of the Mu family immediately joked: "Hey, Aze can still save money. It seems that he has been thinking about getting a wife for a long time."

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and everyone smiled narrowly, making fun of the young couple.

Du Miaoxue blushed and remained silent.

Zou Ping breathed a sigh of relief, even though the discomfort was not as good as what Mu Zhou had given her, she still smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then let's--"

She paused and looked at Father Cheng.

Her money is only her salary. After all, she is a married woman. Her dowry was naturally left to her son. Only a small part was given to her daughter and she could not spend it. As for the Du family, after her ex-husband passed away, although her relationship with them looked at

It's good, but it's impossible to get much. Du Miaoxue is just a girl. Nowadays, no matter how much people love their daughters, they have to leave their property and house to their sons.

So she could only ask her husband for help.

Fortunately, Cheng's father planned to pay Du Miaoxue's dowry from the beginning, so he said directly: "Miaomiao, this child calls me daddy, and I can't treat her badly. Just like the other children, the dowry is two thousand yuan, and...

…”

Two thousand is actually quite a lot. Cheng's father's monthly salary is a little over three hundred, but with so many people in the family, the monthly expenses are not small. These two thousand have to be saved for two or three years. In addition, there are some furniture and quilts.

It's a very generous dowry.

Compared with the bride price, this dowry is really good.

It's just that Xia Xiao'e's expression was indifferent. She was thinking about the things left by Mr. Cheng. They were all good things. She didn't believe that the Cheng family really gave them to Cheng Yanling!

——

The group discussed again.

Cheng Yanling was also said to be sleepy. If she hadn't eaten most of the corn cob, she would have been so hungry that she would have screamed.

At this time, the little boy who just wanted to eat slipped over again.

This time he handed over a plate of fried goods and whispered: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, do you want to eat?"

Cheng Yanling was pleasantly surprised. Ma Liu took it and didn't even notice his title: "Thank you."

The little boy chuckled: "You're welcome, Fourth Sister-in-law. From now on, Fourth Brother will make delicious food, just remember me to have a share."

After saying that, he slipped back.

Cheng Yanling put the plate in front of Mu Zhou and said, "Try it?"

When he raised his eyes, he saw Mu Zhou's face was red.

she:"?"

Mu Zhou put the piece in his mouth and said vaguely: "You accept this title very quickly?"

Cheng Yanling was stunned for a moment before she remembered what the young boy called her just now. She smiled and said deliberately: "Yes, after all we still have... we got married in less than ten days, what's wrong with it?

"
