Senior sister, I really don’t have any improper thoughts about you!.

Chapter 358 How can you talk about the bride price like this?

"Little girl, getting up early in the morning, carrying a schoolbag, playing~uh..."

"What are you singing? Come over and help."

"Okay~"

Under the night.

Miss Jiang, carrying a schoolbag, happily helped her mother and the others move things from the ground to the trunk of the Santana.

Cigarettes, liquor, pork, tea, eggs, candy...

There are six types in total.

There are a lot of them.

It can hardly fit in the trunk that big.

So to lose weight.

Miss Jiang grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into her pocket.

And before I could react.

Pull your legs and run.

Slipped to the co-pilot seat.

"This girl is really."

Tian Cuilan said something unhappily.

But Tian Cuixiang on the side smiled.

"Buy a lot of candy."

"It's okay to feed her all the way."

At this time.

After Tian Wenhao stuffed the last pig's head into the trunk.

He clapped his hands.

"It's done!"

As he spoke, he said to his two elders:

"Let's go quickly."

"If you're any slower, I'm afraid I'll be late when I get back at night."

.........

Today is the fifth day of the New Year.

It was the day agreed upon for my eldest cousin to come and propose marriage.

But the distance to Green Island City, Dongshan Province is a bit far.

So before daybreak, the people of Old Tian's family hurried out.

"Cousin, can you handle such a long journey?"

"should be no problem."

"If you can't hold on, I can help you drive for a while."

Hear the advice from my little cousin.

Tian Wenhao shook his head.

While changing gears, he refused:

"You've only had your driver's license for a few days."

“You can’t go on the highway.”

...

"Then I'll help you when we change national highways."

"It's good to have a bloody battle in the afternoon!"

Everyone in the car knew what Jiang Ning meant by the bloody battle.

After all, the scene of the last marriage proposal is still vivid in my mind.

In this regard.

My mother in the back seat also echoed:
"Ningning is right."

"Wenhao, save some energy."

"We'll try to finalize the date this afternoon."

That's what I said.

Tian Wenhao also fell silent.

Drive with full concentration.

Seeing my cousin fell silent.

Miss Jiang smacked her lips.

I couldn't help but start imagining the scene of myself going to propose marriage in the future.

It should be quite grand.

Level 3 helmet and level 3 armor are must.

When necessary.

I guess Mark I should also be prepared.

Well…

Thinking about it.

Miss Jiang took a piece of candy from her pocket.

Didn't even look at the packaging.

I tore it open and put it in my mouth.

The first sip tasted like coffee.

But then the sweet taste made Miss Jiang narrow her eyes.

He glanced down at the packaging.

Hey, is that a golden monkey?

Haven't eaten it for many years.

The last time I ate it was probably more than ten years ago.

Saying.

Why did this milk candy company fail to beat White Rabbit?

Obviously the taste is almost the same.

Tsk tsk.

not understand.

At this time.

My aunt in the back seat suddenly asked.

"Ning Ning."

"I never really looked at your backpack before."

"Why did you remember to carry your schoolbag when you came out today?"

Hear the words.

Without waiting for Miss Jiang to answer.

The old lady at the side intervened and said speechlessly:

"This girl treats this as a spring outing."

"I stuffed a bag of snacks in it."

“I really can’t tell you.”

"You're so old, but you still like to eat snacks so much..."

In response to my mother's contempt, Miss Jiang smiled and said while holding her schoolbag:
"It takes five or six hours to travel by car each way."

"Wouldn't it be boring without snacks?"

In a word.

It made other people in the car laugh.

Including Miss Jiang herself.

in fact.

She is not a pig.

How can I eat such a big bag of snacks?

Right…

------

A community in Green Island City at this moment.

Xiao Mingxiu got up from bed early.

After finishing my own washing.

Just sitting alone on the balcony.

While quietly basking in the sun, he was flipping through piles of documents.

"Mingxiu..."

“Don’t be so busy.”

"Your health is important now."

Hearing care.

Xiao Mingxiu took the porridge handed to him by his mother.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"It's okay, Mom."

"I was mainly feeling anxious at home."

"If I don't do something, I always feel uneasy."

...

“You, you…”

Chen Yu shook his head helplessly.

Then he reached out and touched his daughter's head.

"Take care of yourself."

"After all, Xiaotian and the others came here today to discuss something."

...

"I know, Mom."

"Go look after Xiaojie."

"He is taking the college entrance exam this year, which is also very important."

Hear the words.

Chen Yu nodded.

But just when I looked back.

She seemed to remember something and said:
"Your father told your uncle that Xiaotian and the others were coming."

"They may come together at noon..."

Upon hearing this.

Xiao Mingxiu's brows suddenly frowned.

Some complained:

"mom!"

"Why are uncle and the others here again?"

"We almost had a falling out last time."

...

"Hey, they're also worried that you'll be wronged."

"rest assured."

"Your father and I have given advance notice this time."

"Your uncle is alone, he won't do anything rash."

Listen to my mother's repeated assurances.

Xiao Mingxiu was also a little depressed.

He patted his chest.

Just about to speak.

An indescribable feeling of nausea suddenly appeared.

next second.

Xiao Mingxiu stood up quickly.

Rushed towards the bathroom.

'vomit…'

...

A good while.

Xiao Mingxiu is supported by her mother.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She was breathing heavily, looking a little pale, and gently stroking her belly.

Seeing my daughter like this.

Chen Yu patted her daughter's back with concern.

"Do you want to go back to your room and rest?"

Hear the sound.

Xiao Mingxiu shook his head gently.

"fine."

"Normal morning sickness."

"Just drink some water..."

Hear this.

Chen Yu quickly stood up, mixed a cup of warm water and handed it to Xiao Mingxiu.

I watched my daughter just take a sip.

She said with some distress:

"daughter."

"Thank you for your hardship..."

Xiao Mingxiu knew that his mother was worried about him.

After all, having children is a thing.

Even now when medical care is very advanced.

There are considerable risks involved.

But Xiao Mingxiu was not afraid.

He just lowered his head and looked at his belly which had not yet shown any movement.

Suddenly he laughed:

"Not bitter mother."

"This is the child of Wenhao and I."

"It's the fruit of our love."

“It is also the continuation of our lives.”

"It's a bit hard, but it's what I deserve."

.........

After a while.

Xiao Mingxiu couldn't hold on after all.

Go lie down on the bed and rest.

then.

I fell asleep while taking a break...

Waiting for her to wake up.

He turned his head to glance at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

11 points.

This sight frightened Xiao Mingxiu so much that he quickly got up from the bed.

Put on your coat.

Pushed open the bedroom door.

What caught my eye was a pretty lady with long hair wearing a white short down jacket, tight jeans and carrying a school bag.

Staring at the oil painting next to the room.

this will.

Maybe he felt something.

The pretty lady turned around and looked at Xiao Mingxiu who was standing at the door of the room.

Smile.

"Cousin, are you awake?"

This smile, as beautiful as blooming spring flowers, really made Xiao Mingxiu dazed for a moment.

Then he also laughed:
"Ning Ning."

"When did you come?"

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

...

"This isn't to see you sleeping."

"I didn't bother you..."

"After all, pregnant women are the most important."

I could hear the teasing from this girl.

Xiao Mingxiu smiled unhappily.

Then he looked towards the living room.

Gazing over.

My father was sitting on the sofa.

And in front of him.

Tian Wenhao, Tian Wenhao’s mother, and Jiang Ning’s mother.

Several people seemed to be talking about something.

As for his mother, she was busy serving tea and water.

Oh.

And my younger brother Xiao Jie also took the chair and sat behind my father.

Seeing this.

Xiao Mingxiu thought about it.

He still held Jiang Ning's arm and walked towards the living room.

Just passed.

She heard people talking about marriage.

"I see. Just go through the engagement process first?"

"And then follow the formal wedding rules?"

"So what are the rules for this engagement?"

Hear this.

Xiao Mingxiu saw his father take out a piece of red paper from his pocket.

Handed it to the table.

"Just follow this."

See this.

Tian Wenhao took the red paper in his hand.

I read them one by one.

"Hardware, two red belts, two red bundles, two sets of clothes, including a cotton-padded jacket, and six other small items..."

It's quite a long time.

It's quite cumbersome.

The rough calculation above shows that it won’t cost much.

But the subsequent 8888 yuan in engagement gift and engagement banquet expenses are not a small amount.

In particular, the hotel required for wedding banquets must be no less than four stars.

Well known.

A table in a four-star hotel costs several hundred yuan.

There were at least 20 to 30 tables at the engagement banquet.

So this alone will cost tens of thousands.

It's just an engagement.

The formal wedding banquet later will probably cost even more.

See this.

Xiao Mingxiu was the first to raise an objection.

"dad!"

"Why didn't you tell me this yesterday?"

Hear this.

Xiao Weihua turned around and glared.

"What do you know? Don't interrupt!"

Xiao Mingxiu, who was being bullied, didn't care about this and was about to refute again on the spot. But she was pulled aside by Xiao's mother who was standing next to her.

"Mingxiu, don't be in a hurry."

"Your father has his plans."

"I won't hurt you."

...

"mom!"

"You can't do this!"

"Isn't it already agreed?"

Xiao Mingxiu couldn't understand it.

same.

Miss Jiang standing by couldn't understand it either.

I was just about to prick up my ears to listen to the reason.

As a result, my cousin's wife was taken to the room by her mother.

Miss Jiang was too embarrassed to follow.

Nothing.

I could only come over to my mother and continue listening to the two families discussing the conditions during the period.

We talked for quite a while.

It didn't reduce the expenses much.

Especially the standards of the banquet.

Four-star hotel...

The only good news is that the talks did not break down.

The mood on both sides remains stable.

A good while.

Xiao Mingxiu and her mother walked out of the room.

Looking at her cousin's wife whose eyes were a little red, Miss Jiang didn't have time to go up to her and ask.

Her mother clapped her hands and said to everyone in the living room:

"OK OK."

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about the rest in the afternoon."

.........

The lunch was pretty good.

There are fish and shrimps.

There are meat and vegetables.

But those big bugs are really a bit disgusting.

But I heard from my cousin's younger brother.

This thing is quite expensive.

talking.

I'll also pick one up for Miss Jiang to try.

Someone was so scared that he quickly refused.

Because she couldn't accept this soft, long thing being put into her mouth.

Especially this thing has two little black eyes on it.

but.

This thing is indeed very popular among the people of Green Island.

Even my pregnant cousin couldn't help but try two.

Miss Jiang looked very resistant.

At this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

See this.

Chen Yu quickly got up, ran to the door and opened it.

Subsequently.

A middle-aged man wearing a jacket, short and bald.

Walked in from outside the door.

"xxx."

"I'm so cold."

"Sister, hurry up and get me some hot water to drink."

talking.

The middle-aged man looked back.

When he saw so many people sitting in the restaurant.

His brows suddenly raised.

"Oh?"

"Everyone is here?"

"That's pretty fast, you guys."

As he said this, he staggered to the side of Xiao's father and waved to Xiao Jie behind him.

Motion to make way.

Then sat down.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bean curd, and asked while eating:
"How did the conversation go?"

...

Miss Jiang here.

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not seem to be at all shy.

Bumped my older cousin’s arm.

"Which one is this?"

"Mingxiu's uncle..."

Hearing this, Miss Jiang frowned.

She knew a little about what happened last time.

I know that my cousin’s uncle is not an easy person to get along with.

And now he appears in such a swagger again.

In this regard.

Tian Wenhao also had a headache.

I turned my head and looked at the two elders who were discussing something on the balcony.

"It should be fine."

"At most, I'll be satisfied with the money."

That's what it says.

Boss Jiang had the same idea.

But the elders don’t think that way.

In my mother and aunt's opinion, there should be a limit to how much money is spent.

After all, they are not suckers.

This is what I just took the time to say to Miss Jiang.

As for my cousin's wife.

Miss Jiang also discovered a conservative attitude.

I wanted to ask in detail, but my cousin's mother stayed by her side.

It's really difficult.

but.

The focus of the discussion right now is the issue of a hotel.

Just negotiate this.

The rest is to just set the time.

this will.

Tian Cuilan and Tian Cuixiang, who were talking on the windowsill, returned to their seats.

I also saw the middle-aged man sitting next to my father-in-law.

Involuntarily.

The two people's expressions froze.

Suddenly they looked at each other.

"Isn't this my uncle-in-law?"

"Hello."

Tian Cuilan was the first to greet politely.

But the other party was listening to Xiao Weihua's whispering.

A smile and a nod were his response.

See this.

Tian Cuilan frowned, but still sat back with a smile.

The person who comes is not kind...

Miss Jiang picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

He ignored the young man next to him and fixed his eyes on the bald uncle.

really.

The first thing the bald uncle said after listening to Xiao Weihua's whispering was:

"That's the general rule."

“It’s just that some details need to be changed.”

Then the second sentence:

“The hotel represents the level of our family, and this cannot be lowered.”

"I hope you can understand."

Done.

He continued:

"As for the gift money."

"8888 is already the lowest number."

"After all, it's not easy to raise a grown girl."

"Besides, Mingxiu is still a college student. She can still make money and have children."

"Such a good daughter-in-law... How about 5?"

???

What the hell.

Is there anyone who talks about gift money like this?

For a while.

The whole table suddenly became lively.

"Uncle, you are not sincere when talking like this." Tian Cuixiang asked first with narrowed eyes.

Tian Cuilan on the side directly focused her eyes on Xiao Weihua.

"My dear, what does uncle mean...?"

Xiao Mingxiu, the person involved, looked at his uncle with shock.

It is clear.

She really didn't expect it.

My uncle actually said such a thing as soon as he arrived.

Look back.

His eyes stayed on his mother.

That angry and puzzled look.

This really made Chen Yu a little overwhelmed.

"elder brother!"

"We have already discussed the gift money."

"you…"

As a result, he didn't finish his words.

She was beaten back with just one sentence.

"Uncle is the most important."

"There's no place for you to talk here."

The harmonious atmosphere was disrupted by this uncle.

Miss Jiang couldn't help but bump into her cousin.

After all, he is the real boss.

Tian Wenhao came back to his senses after receiving the reminder from his cousin.

He waved his hand, signaling the two elders beside him to stop talking.

Then his eyes paused on Xiao Mingxiu.

Looking at the daughter-in-law with a face full of grievance.

Thinking about what she had told me about her family situation in the past.

I know I have to pass this test from my uncle.

Ever since.

Tian Wenhao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to his uncle.

"uncle."

"Myung-soo is a good girl."

"We are together, there is nothing else mixed in."

"Support each other, understand each other, and respect each other."

"We have come to this stage of marriage now, which is the result of our joint efforts."

Hear this.

Uncle Xiao smiled disdainfully.

"young people."

"I was your age, too."

"What is emotion, what is love, don't I know more about it than you do?"

It seemed that Tian Wenhao wanted to continue speaking.

Uncle Xiao waved his hand.

"Stop talking so much."

"Let me ask you something."

"How much gift money do you think our Mingxiu is worth?"

In a word.

Tian Wenhao's forehead turned red.

"priceless."

"So how much gift money is your relationship worth?"

"…priceless…"

"Then do you think that the child in Mingxiu's belly is worth all the cost you have to pay?"

"……worth…"

Hear this.

Uncle Xiao spread his hands.

"That's it..."

all of a sudden.

Everyone at the table was silent.

At this moment.

Miss Jiang finally understood.

Why didn’t I get any benefits the last time I came here?

Having such an uncle.

Most people can't do it...

But our Jiang Mengnan is not an ordinary person.

however.

Just as she was about to take out her secret weapon.

My cousin’s wife Xiao Mingxiu suddenly spoke.

"uncle."

"Can you listen to me for a few words?"

talking.

She didn't care whether her uncle agreed or not.

He turned his gaze directly to his father.

"dad."

"I like Tian Wenhao, I love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"That's why I'm willing to marry him."

...

"Mingxiu, you can't say that..."

"Uncle, can you please listen to what I have to say?"

In an instant.

Everyone in the Xiao family felt an unprecedented cold temperament from this girl.

It was like meeting her for the first time.

Subsequently.

Looking at the dumb uncle.

Xiao Mingxiu suddenly smiled.

"Yes."

"I am pregnant."

"She's pregnant with Tian Wenhao's child."

"So he felt that he owed me something, and he would try his best to satisfy me as long as I asked for something."

"But this is not the means you use to blackmail him."

"If you insist."

"Then I can only choose to run away with him."

"From now on, I will leave your sight."

Hear this.

My uncle's face instantly turned red with anger.

A slap on the table.

"Snapped!"

Then he pointed at Xiao Mingxiu.

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

"Impossible!"

"Have you read all these years' worth of books?!"

Xiao Weihua standing by was so angry that he was speechless.

Only Chen Yu, the mother, was stuck in the middle with an embarrassed look on her face.

But she was holding Xiao Mingxiu's hand.

It is clear.

My daughter is more important.

Seeing this.

Miss Jiang smacked her lips.

Suddenly, he lifted his backpack from the chair in front of everyone.

Three stacks of old man heads fell out of the backpack.

"Plop, plop."

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

next second.

Just when everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of three stacks of banknotes.

One of the instigators nudged his cousin's arm.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Didn't you ask me to bring you 30 yuan so that you could buy a house for my cousin's wife in Green Island?"
