The next day, Fan Yumei's family came to Changqing Village early in the morning.

The information in rural areas is actually very fast. With the arrival of Fan Yumei's family, the fact that she and Chen Dashan were getting married quickly spread throughout Changqing Village.

This news is really explosive in Changqing Village.

For a time, many villagers ran to Chen Dashan's house, watching the fun or thinking about helping him say a few words.

Chen Jing's family of four rushed to Chen Dashan's house and waited.

"Dashan, congratulations." Empress Dowager Lu said happily to Chen Dashan who kept laughing.

"Hehe..." Chen Dashan just smiled.

It is worth mentioning that the originally empty main hall at Chen Dashan’s house has already been filled with a lot of furniture and seats. This was done by Queen Mother Lu and Lao Chen yesterday afternoon.

Today, Empress Dowager Lu mentioned some snacks for the New Year, such as melon seeds, peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, etc.

The people in the village also gathered around at this moment and joked or congratulated Chen Dashan.

The reason why Fan Yumei was able to bring her parents here means that the matter has basically been negotiated. After all, it is not a problem with Chen Jing in the construction of a new house and the money for the bride price.

Not long after, Fan Yumei and her parents arrived.

"Sit quickly and sit quickly." Empress Dowager Lu enthusiastically welcomed the people in, while Old Chen pushed Chen Dashan.

"Hello, mother-in-law, hello." Chen Dashan bowed respectfully and shouted at Fan Yumei's parents as he taught him just now.

Chen Jing and Kong Xue were standing by and watching. They were of the same generation as Chen Dashan. They negotiated with Fan Yumei’s parents and should teach Empress Dowager Lu and Lao Chen.

Fan Yumei’s parents must have learned about Chen Dashan’s situation before coming. Now, looking at the dilapidated house, there was no expression of disgust.

After sitting down, Fan's mother said bluntly: "Although our Yumei cannot have children, there is no problem in other aspects. If Chen Dashan wants to marry her, the 20,000 yuan bride price cannot be lost."

In Sichuan and Chongqing, most people do not have the term "bride price". Even if there is abride price, it will not be too high. Generally, the woman will return it as a dowry in the end, which is more of a symbolic meaning.

Therefore, the Fan family has not raised much money for the bride price at this moment, and of course most of them are the factors that Fan Yumei has worked hard to win.

Fan's father also said: "There is still a house, no matter how hard it is, it will be necessary to build a two-story building."

When Fan Yumei heard that her parents were so direct, her face became a little embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Lu laughed and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem with this." Chen Jing had agreed with her before about the money, as long as Fan Yumei's parents were not too much in the bride price, they could agree.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Lu agreed readily, Fan Yumei's parents also smiled and began to discuss the specific matters of marriage.

To put it bluntly, the problem that blocks Fan Yumei and Chen Dashan is just money. Now that the money is in place, getting married is indeed not such a troublesome thing.

Of course, if Fan Yumei had not experienced a bad marriage and had the reputation of not having children and beating her husband, it would have been more troublesome than now.

But no matter what, Chen Dashan and Fan Yumei, the couple, who can be said to be miserable, have successfully gotten together.

At noon, Empress Dowager Lu invited Fan Yumei and her parents to the Chen family for dinner, and continued to discuss subsequent wedding dates and other things.

Chen Jing was not involved in these things. After confirming that there was no major problem, he just needed to give money.

In addition, Chen Jing also took the incense table for Emperor Jiajing to use. He carefully cleaned some oil stains on it in the bedroom with Kong Xue. At the same time, he told the elder sister that the incense table was used by the emperor.

After listening with relish, Kong Xue asked curiously: "This fragrance is so precious. Xiao Jing, are you going to find someone to take action by yourself or put it in the auction house?"

Chen Jing shook his head when he heard this: "I may not take action on this fragrant table."

"Don't take action?" Kong Xue was a little confused and surprised when she heard this: "Why are you planning to collect Xiaojing yourself?"

Chen Jingying said: "Well, if nothing unexpected happens."

This imperial incense table used by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly an antique cultural relic that can reach the level of the collection, and it is also a relatively high-end one.

If Chen Jing wants to start his own private museum, he must have collected enough antiques of various types. Therefore, not only this imperial incense table, but he may not take action if he gets some good collection-level antiques in the future.

Mainly, Chen Jing is not so short of money nowadays. In addition, if Jie Lu has agreed, there will be a large amount of funds to be recorded.

At that time, Chen Jing will rely on this original fund to find a good opportunity to start his own career to make money.

Unless Chen Jing's career fails, he will consider re-accumulating the original funds by taking advantage of antiques again, which is what he said is an unexpected situation.

"Well, that's not bad, either." Kong Xue nodded and said nothing.

As long as the older boy does not make any wrong decisions, the older sister will definitely support it with all her strength.

After Chen Jing and Kong Xue cleaned up the imperial incense table, Fan Yumei and her parents also said goodbye. The marriage was basically agreed upon. The wedding date was scheduled for Chen Dashan’s new house to be repaired, and the wedding banquet and moving wine were held together.

Empress Dowager Lu smiled and prepared to send Fan Yumei and her parents to the entrance of the village, and Chen Dashan followed.

After the person left, Chen Jing asked Lao Chen: "Dad, how much does it cost to build Brother Dashan's new house?"

Old Chen worked as a construction worker in his early years and used to help others build self-built houses in the countryside. The price is definitely better than Chen Jing knows about this.

"I'll do it." Old Chen found paper and pen and habitually wanted to light a cigarette, but after seeing Kong Xue standing next to Chen Jing, the cigarette he took out did not ignite and just stopped it behind his ears.

Kong Xue noticed this keenly and whispered beside Chen Jing: "Xiao Chen, I'll go to the yard for a while. Tell me to Uncle Chen, don't care about me if you smoke."

Then, Kong Xue walked to the yard.

"Dad, if you want to smoke, you don't have to think so much." Chen Jing said.

Old Chen nodded, and didn't say anything. He lit the cigarette and smoked it while counting the money.

Not long after, Old Chen roughly calculated the money he needed to spend: "If you build a two-story building, it will cost at least 200,000 yuan. The transportation cost of building materials here is higher than that of other places."

Chen Jing thought about it in his heart when he heard this, and said, "Then it's 250,000 yuan. Add the money from the bride price and wedding banquet, which is 300,000 yuan. I will give Dashan a total of 500,000 yuan. The extra money will be handed over to Sister Yumei as a deposit."

Although Changqing Village is poor, it is still a modern society no matter how it is. Living here, at least the daily food, clothing and expenses are enough. With Fan Yumei helping Chen Dashan, she can still be self-sufficient.

With a deposit, Chen Dashan's bad cards can really be considered a win.
