Chapter 156 155. Make a Marriage Engagement
What happened next went smoothly without any accidents. As for Ji Nianqing, just by looking at his appearance, Du's mother was extremely satisfied.

In addition, Jinianqing was well-spoken and had outstanding temperament, which made him even more satisfied. He wished that Du Chuan could marry Jinianqing home immediately.

So ever since Jinianqing came in, the smile on his face has never stopped. When he met some neighbors who pretended to be passing by to watch the fun, he was also much more enthusiastic.

Sister-in-law Jiao Lanhua was also very enthusiastic. She did not feel jealous when she saw the jade bracelet and big red envelope that Du's mother prepared for Ji Nianqing.

When she and Du Yuan got their marriage certificate, Du's mother gave them a red envelope as an additional gift, but it wasn't much, much less than the one given to Ji Nianqing.

But Jiao Lanhua also understood that this money, to put it bluntly, belonged to Du Chuan, and Du Chuan had given a lot of money to his family.

Although all this money was given to his parents, Du Chuan no longer lives here, so they are still the ones who receive the subsidies.

So Jiao Lanhua is not jealous or envious at all, otherwise she would be really ungrateful.

Jinianqing declined the bracelet and red envelope slightly, but finally accepted them, knowing that these were the rules.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Du Chuan took Jinianqing back home. He did not return to his room, but sent her home directly because he knew that Zhu Hui and the others were still waiting.

When Jinianqing returned home and took out the things that Du's mother had given him, Zhu Hui looked at the bracelet herself, then took out the red envelope and pointed at it, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom, you are too realistic." Ji Nian Miao couldn't stand it anymore. Although she knew her mother was realistic before, she felt a little embarrassed that Zhu Hui still did this at this point.

Zhu Hui glared at her. "What do you know? This is not a question of how much money you have, but a question of attitude."

"Remember this, if you find a partner in the future and their family doesn't give you enough as a wedding gift, then you can't be together. This proves that their family looks down on you."

Ji Nian Miao was not convinced and said, "You are exaggerating. What if I find someone with average family conditions?"

What she didn't expect was that Ji Xuetao actually spoke up, "No matter how ordinary the conditions are, your attitude must be great. We are not really selling our daughter. We will definitely give it to you when the time comes."

Seeing her husband on her side, Zhu Hui immediately became proud, "How can I harm you? Take your father for example. Your father's family was not well off back then, but when I came to our house, your grandmother gave me enough money to borrow."

"This proves my attitude. Otherwise, no matter how much I like your father, I would not agree to marry him."

Ji Nian Miao muttered: "Anyway, whatever you say is reasonable."

Zhu Hui didn't care about her second daughter. It was still too early for her to get married. She would decide after she graduated from college.

"Qingqing, this was given to you personally by Du Chuan's parents, not by Du Chuan, right?" Zhu Hui remembered something and asked hurriedly.

Ji Nianqing asked in confusion: "It was given by my aunt, what's wrong?"

Zhu Hui was even more satisfied after hearing this, and waved her hand and said, "Nothing, it seems that this in-law is really good."

She knew that her future son-in-law Du Chuan was rich, but sometimes, a son-in-law being rich does not mean that his parents are generous.

In addition, she also has her own considerations. The things that Ji Nianqing brings back today will determine her attitude towards Du Chuan's parents tomorrow.

This is a matter of principle, and Zhu Hui has a bottom line on this point.

………………

On the fifth day of the New Year, the restaurant was already open, and Du Chuan asked someone to help book a large private room early on.

Although most restaurants nowadays are state-owned, they still have the necessary facilities such as private rooms, especially the restaurant Du Chuan found is a time-honored brand.

Du Chuan stood at the door to greet the Ji family. After bringing them into the private room, Du's father and mother stood up quickly. Both sides had very good attitudes, and kept praising each other's children.

Zhu Hui: "Du Chuan is a sensible, capable, and filial child."

Mother Du: "I fell in love with Qingqing at first sight. It is really lucky for my Du Chuan to marry such a daughter-in-law."

Zhu Hui: "When I first saw Du Chuan, I knew he was a capable person. You guys have done a good job in educating him."

Du's mother: "Qingqing is able to have such a temperament, all because of the influence of your family's profound learning."

The two mothers were praising their children to each other, while Du's father and Ji Xuetao were drinking.

As for the third brother, he has already become good friends with Ji Nian Miao and Ji Nian Zu. The atmosphere among them is even more lively, as if they are the protagonists this time.

On the other hand, Du Chuan and Jinianqing looked like outsiders, sitting quietly on the sidelines.

After three rounds of drinks, the two sides began to discuss specific matters.

"According to my opinion, we should find an auspicious day to get engaged first, and then get married right after Qingqing graduates. How about that?" said Du's mother.

Although Du's mother seemed to be discussing it, she had actually already arranged everything, even calculating the engagement date.

As for the wedding date, she had actually already set it, but she just didn't say it.

Although Du's mother is not a strong person, she has her own persistence.

For example, when it comes to her son getting married, she believes that they need to take the lead in such matters.

It’s okay for the eldest son, as they won’t know about it until he has a child, but she has to make the decision on the second son’s marriage.

Zhu Hui had no objection to this, as this was also her idea.

"You and I have the same idea."

Du's mother smiled with satisfaction, and then began to discuss the issue of the bride price. In this regard, Du's mother originally wanted to have some control. It was not because she was stingy or anything else, but as the man, he always had to express his attitude in this regard.

However, Du Chuan had already discussed this matter with her in advance. In addition, he was particularly satisfied with Ji Nian Qing, so the conversation with Zhu Hui went very smoothly.

So Du's mother gave up her previous idea.

Zhu Hui also did not ask for a high price, but a normal betrothal gift. She also said, "We will not take this money, we will give it to the young couple when the time comes."

"Although they don't need this little money, it is at least part of our parents' thoughts."

Du's mother was even more satisfied with this. It can be said that now Du's mother is not only satisfied with Ji Nianqing, but also very satisfied with this future in-law.

Du's mother has her own little plan. Now that her son is so capable and has so much money, as a mother, she must help keep an eye on him.

Especially when it comes to marrying a wife, it is important to marry a virtuous woman. Du's mother understands this principle very well.

And this virtuous person is not only her daughter-in-law, but also her family, otherwise there will be a lot of troubles in the future.

As for Mr. Du and Ji Xuetao, they seemed to have no say in this scene, but it could be seen that they were chatting quite happily, and their faces were flushed from drinking.
