80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 192 Chapter 192: Embarrassingly able to dig out three rooms and one living room

When Xiaocui's parents saw that Chen Zhongwen had brought so many people and things, they grinned almost to the back of their heads, and hurriedly greeted Ye Qian and the others to sit down.

Ye Qian sat down with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and listened to their greetings for the rest.

Seeing that Chen Zhongwen was carrying so many things, Xiaocui was also very happy. She walked towards Chen Zhongwen with small steps, put her arms around Chen Zhongwen's arm, and said coquettishly, "Brother Wen, thank you."

A coldness flashed in Chen Zhongwen's eyes when he heard this, and then he held Xiao Cui's hand, and replied softly: "It's all what it should be."

Not long after sitting down to greet each other, Xiaocui's parents asked curiously, "Why didn't your parents come?"

In their engagement, the man's parents will come with him.

Mrs. Chen replied with a smile: "My father is inconvenient and can't make it through. My mother will take care of him at home."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Xiaocui's father's eyes after hearing this, and he responded with a smile: "Oh, I understand, I understand."

At this moment, Second Aunt Chen suddenly asked: "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, are we here early, and the relatives haven't come yet?"

Embarrassment flashed in the eyes of Xiaocui's parents, and then they replied with a smile: "They are too busy, let's just do it."

Second Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, then a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she responded with a smile: "Oh, that's fine."

"It's fine if you and your father-in-law are here, so let's start?"

Xiao Cui's mother hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

When Second Sister Chen saw her, she quickly touched Sister Chen, and Sister Chen got up and started to talk.

Don't look at the second sister-in-law Chen presiding over Jingchun's engagement last time, it was because sister-in-law Chen was not there. If sister-in-law Chen was there, there would be nothing wrong with second sister-in-law Chen.

Things are very simple, just get up and introduce, and it will be time to pick out the bride price after a while.

Mrs. Chen: "Third siblings."

Ye Qian immediately reacted to Mrs. Chen's shout, picked up the bag next to her, took out a wad of money wrapped in red paper, and handed it over.

Mrs. Chen: "This is a bride price of 1000 yuan, take a look."

When Xiaocui's mother saw the money handed over by Mrs. Chen, her eyes lit up and she took it immediately.

Responding with a smile: "Okay, then I will order."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Chen and the others were stunned. No one would order a bride price in front of the in-laws on the day of the engagement. They would either pay back the money or go through the motions to try to get a lottery.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, and replied awkwardly: "You order, you order." Then she sat down.

Afterwards, the whole room was filled with a quiet atmosphere, and everyone looked at Xiaocui's mother motionlessly as she counted the money.

Xiao Cui's mother is also very good, she was not uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, she finished counting the money calmly.

After counting the money, Xiao Cui's mother said with a satisfied face, "It's just right."

Mrs. Chen at the side felt that she was here to pay back the money, but she still had to smile and replied, "Just the money is right."

Xiaocui's mother: "Yes."

Then everyone fell into silence, and the air felt awkward.

It stands to reason that after they finished here, it was Xiaocui's parents' turn to treat the guests to dinner, but the couple sat there motionless, which was really confusing.

Chen Zhongwen touched Xiaocui and asked with some displeasure: "What's the matter with your parents, shouldn't they make arrangements for dinner?"

Xiaocui replied with an innocent face: "Do you still want to eat here? My parents don't know, they are not prepared!"

Chen Zhongwen's face darkened suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't I tell your father?"

Seeing Chen Zhongwen panicked like this, Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll ask."

Chen Zhongwen grabbed Xiao Cui's arm and said, "Go ahead and get the money from your mother, you take it."

Xiaocui took a deep look at Chen Zhongwen and replied, "Okay."

Xiao Cui walked up to her father with her stomach full and said, "Dad, it's time for us to eat."

Xiao Cui's father seemed to have just remembered it, and said suddenly, "Oh! There's another thing! I was so happy that I almost forgot."

"Let's go! Everything is ready, let's go to the restaurant to eat."

The aunts and aunts who came with Chen Zhongwen looked a little bit like Xiaocui's parents when they saw that they were doing things like this, but when they heard that they had made a reservation at the hotel, they changed their attitudes one by one.

Even Second Aunt Chen acted like she was on a roller coaster, she leaned against Ye Qian and complained in a low voice, "What's the matter with Xiao Cui's parents, why do you feel a little silly?"

Ye Qian also muttered, "Who knows!"

After Xiaocui said this to her father, she went straight to her mother, bent down and took the gift from her mother, and replied with a smile: "Mom, you go to eat, I will take it for you first."

Xiao Cui's mother gave Xiao Cui a vicious look, but Xiao Cui pretended she didn't see it.

While going to eat, Xiaocui's mother kept getting close to Ye Qian.

"Her third sister-in-law heard that you opened a barber shop in front of the steel factory?"

Ye Qian smiled detachedly, "Yes."

Xiao Cui's mother: "Then we are still neighbors, and we will come to our house to play more when we have free time in the future."

Ye Qian replied with a smile, "Okay."

Xiao Cui's mother: "I think your store is very popular, and you make a lot of money, right?"

Ye Qian: "Fortunately, I can earn a living."

Xiao Cui's mother clicked her tongue twice, "Your sister-in-law, you are too modest. I heard that your business is the hottest in our town. Even people from other places come to you to have their hair cut."

Ye Qian: "Well, it's what other people said, it's not that good."

Second sister-in-law Chen and sister-in-law Chen walked behind, and they curled their lips when they heard this.

Xiao Cui's mother didn't care about Ye Qian's estrangement at all, and kept saying, "I see that your store is very busy, and you are still recruiting people. My natal family has a nephew who wants to find a job every day when he is idle at home. You can't let him go to your place to learn a craft."

"However, we can be regarded as in-laws. If you recruit others, you are also recruiting. It's better to use your own people."

Ye Qian couldn't help but rolled her eyes after hearing this, "The store is fully staffed now, and there is no need to recruit people for the time being."

Xiao Cui's mother was still not reconciled after hearing this, "You..."

Seeing Xiao Cui's mother clinging to Ye Qian and talking endlessly, Second Aunt Chen couldn't help but said, "Feng Qin, come and see this!"

After hearing this, Ye Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, I'll go and have a look." After she finished speaking, she walked towards Second Aunt Chen without looking back.

Second Aunt Chen purposely stayed behind and sneered, "What's the matter with this little Cuiniang, why is she pestering you endlessly?"

Ye Qian: "Why else, jealousy!"

Chen Ersao replied disdainfully: "I'm still a worker! Just so promising."

Ye Qian: "Who thinks there is too much money?"

After hearing this, Second Aunt Chen took the opportunity to ask, "How about the thing I asked you to help think about?"

Ye Qian rubbed her brows irritably and replied bluntly: "Give me a rest!"

Chen Ersao: "You rest, you rest, but you have to take it to heart. After all, we are also a family, and we can't take advantage of others."
