Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Bride Price and Dowry 2

  Helian Jiao also said in a baby voice: "I want to sleep with Grandpa and Grandma!"

  She didn't want to sleep in the same room with the little crybaby!

  Ma Xiulian smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. The little granddaughter was clinging to her.

  The adults were also happy, especially the eldest couple who were eager to have a son, and their faces were filled with joy.

  After all, it is inconvenient to do things when the children are older. Not only do I have to do things secretly every day, I have to start after the children fall asleep, and I have to be vigilant about them getting up at night.

  The next day, they had to get up early to work. If they didn't sleep well, they wouldn't be able to concentrate on physical work, which would delay their work!

  Early in the morning of the next day, Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu went to the Liu family to propose marriage with the gifts they had prepared.

  After receiving the news, the old carpenter and his wife dressed neatly and sat in the house waiting.

  They originally wanted their daughter to marry someone from the same commune so that they could visit each other more conveniently. However, she fell in love with Chen Jianmin from the old Chen family. The two communes were far apart and not in the same town.

  Fortunately, my future son-in-law is a good-tempered man, and my mother-in-law is not a mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law harshly.

  "relatives by marriage!"

  Ma Xiu Lian shouted loudly, came to the door with things in her hand, had a happy face, and sat down in the house.

  The old carpenter and his wife looked behind them and saw that they were the only two people. They couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Guaibao come with you? Lanzhi came back yesterday and kept praising us. We thought we could see it today."

  The news that Ma Xiu Lian and her husband loved their granddaughter spread throughout the area.

  They were already a little curious, and after their daughter came back yesterday, she kept praising the girl for being pretty and blessed, and asked her to get married, so they wanted to meet her even more.

  "It's hot today, so I didn't bring her here."

  Ma Xiulian smiled and explained, then went straight to the point: "What do the two in-laws think of this wedding?"

  "I asked someone to check and found out there is an auspicious day next month. Why not schedule it next month?"

  The old carpenter paused and said softly that he was very cautious about his daughter's marriage and had carefully selected a good date, which happened to be next month. Ma Xiulian nodded and agreed, "Okay!"

  The old carpenter continued, "We are going to give a bicycle as a dowry, mainly for Jianmin to go out conveniently. You know that I have a daughter in my old age, so I naturally treasure her very much. After she marries to you, I just hope that your Chen family will treat her well and that she can come back to visit us from time to time. As for the betrothal gift, just give it like ordinary families do. We don't have any requirements."

  The greatest wish of a parent is to see their children live a good life.

  Ma Xiu Lian and Chen Dazhu looked at each other. The dowry was much richer than they had expected!

  A bicycle alone costs more than one hundred yuan.

  Although the old carpenter said he didn't have any requirements, she was unwilling to lose out.

  Otherwise, if others knew about it, they would think that her fifth son was a live-in son-in-law!

  So he thought about it and said, "Of course we won't treat Lanzhi unfairly. As for the betrothal gift, our Chen family will give 80 yuan plus two pieces of cloth, and cigarettes, alcohol, and candy are all indispensable. What do you think, in-laws?"

  Ma Xiu Lian took the initiative to add something to the original idea and sought the other party's opinion.

  "become!"

  Hearing this, the old carpenter's expression relaxed a lot. The Chen family's dowry was already considered a large sum of money in the countryside. It seemed that Lanzhi would not be bullied if she went to his house.

  After the big things were finalized, the two families began to discuss the details of the wedding.

  Chen Jianmin and Liu Lanzhi sat nearby, listening quietly, feeling both expectant and nervous.
