Chapter 1614: Getting Married in 1 Month
The Xu family felt it was inappropriate, but when they thought that their daughter would do such a shameful thing, they did not have the confidence to raise the bride price too high. But at the very least, you have to show some sense and don't give away a penny. If word spreads, the Ge family themselves will lose face.
If the Xu family is like this, Xu Cai disagrees even more.
She felt that she was no worse than Orchid. How could the bride price be lower than Orchid's?
Xu Cai inquired about Orchid's betrothal gift, and it was a full thirty taels. Thirty taels of betrothal gift was enough to cause a sensation.
That Yu Fenglin is a blacksmith. Although he can be regarded as running a small shop, he has no father or mother and no one to help him. His family was in debt earlier, and he is the only blacksmith. He can only afford thirty taels. Very sincere.
You must know that the betrothal gifts these days are all given to the girl's parents, but Li is a doting daughter, and now the family is not short of money, so she only left five taels of silver for fun, and the rest was taken back to Lanhua as dowry.
When Shu You got married for the first time, Mrs. Ruan asked her to take all the betrothal gifts home with her.
Li considers herself generous, how can she not be as generous as Ruan?
Xu Cai was very envious when she heard about this. Generally, the betrothal gift in the village is as high as five taels. But the Ge family runs a tofu shop and does some small business. The thirty-tael gift... should be able to come up with it, right?
At that time, Xu Cai felt that Ge Qifei loved her deeply, and her appetite was whetted by Lanhua's thirty taels. She thought that she would have to have this number when she got married.
But she never thought that even if the other party really gave such a colorful gift, would her mother's family be able to provide the corresponding dowry?
Therefore, when Xu Cai mentioned the amount of the bride price, both the Ge family and the Xu family thought she was crazy.
The Ge family turned around and left on the spot. Ge Qifei flipped the table over and scolded Xu Cai for talking about dreams.
The first conversation ended on bad terms.
Later, I heard from a neighbor of the Xu family that the Xu family was noisy that night, and Xu's father slapped Xu Cai, who cried for most of the night.
Then the next day, when the Xu family talked about the bride price again, it had changed from the originally planned two taels to one tael.
The Ge family really didn't want to marry this house-ruiner, but the two of them made a fuss. The mayor of Shangshi Village is personally handling this matter. If he goes back on his word, Fan Zhong will lose face and may have to file a complaint with the mayor.
In the end, no one asked Xu Cai's opinion. The betrothal gift was one tael of silver, and there was no need to think about three gold coins.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine the days after Xu Cai and Ge Qifei got married.
When Lanhua heard about this, she was really shocked. Li Shi told her to stay away from Xu Cai in the future, and it would be best not to even say anything.
Lan Hua just responded in a daze. Who knew that when she went back, she would pass by Xu Cai who looked haggard while sitting in the mule cart.
Lanhua opened her mouth to say something, but the other party glared at her fiercely.
This guy is awesome.
Lan Hua was not without temper, so she stared back with disdain in her eyes and pulled down the curtains.
Since then, the two have completely parted ways.
Shu Yu asked, "Has the wedding date been finalized?"
"Well, my mother said, around mid-October."
The old lady exclaimed, "Isn't this too fast? It's already the tenth day of September, only one month?"
Lanhua smiled bitterly, "Xu Cai is already Ge Qifei's son, and the two families are afraid that if it is later, they may get pregnant. Moreover, this matter is a scandal for both families. They are not willing to make a big deal and do not need to prepare too much. "
