After all, we are about to become in-laws.
His eldest uncle’s son was getting married, and they should make the trip.
"Then, arrange for us to meet as soon as possible."
It was the day after tomorrow.
The private room was reserved by Wang Jianguo’s side.
Still the four elders of the Zhao Family, this time Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t come because she had classes, Zhao Tianhe and Zhao Tianlei came together.
"Mom, this is Little Aunt, this is Uncle, this is Eldest Uncle’s wife, this is Eldest Uncle, this is Second Brother, this is Third Brother," Wang Jianguo introduced them one by one to Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang.
Little Aunt Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao knew that Wang Jianguo’s parents were both office leaders, while they were just from the countryside.
Even Little Aunt Zhao told Zhao Xinxin that after getting married, she should learn how to be a good wife.
Little Aunt Zhao hadn’t received much education, and her in-laws were kind, so after going there, no one would keep an eye on her.
But she was ultimately just a rural woman.
Her ideas were deeply ingrained.
Telling her daughter to take good care of her in-laws and husband after marriage had almost become a mantra.
However, Little Aunt Zhao was also quite lucky.
Little Aunt Zhao’s health deteriorated after childbirth, making her unable to do farm work, so he did it all by himself.
He had no complaints.
But now Zhao Xinxin, after living with Yun Xiaoxiao for so long and being persuaded by her, gradually began to change her personality.
"In-laws, Mother-in-law..."
Mrs. Wang could see that these in-laws were a bit constrained, but the eldest brother-in-law was quite composed, and as for the future Second Brother and Third Brother of her son, they were very calm.
They didn’t start off by bringing up the issue of the betrothal gifts.
Instead, they chatted about the family for a while before mentioning the bride price.
"Mother-in-law, in-laws, sister-in-law, Eldest Brother-in-law, Xinxin and our Jianguo have been dating for half a year now, it’s time to settle this matter," Mr. Wang said with a smile on his face.
On the side, Mrs. Wang echoed, "Yes, yes, yes."
What good would opposition do?
Now her son was set on marrying Zhao Xinxin and no one else.
She had previously refused, disagreed, but it didn’t shake her son’s resolve.
Mr. Wang continued, "We will give a monetary gift of 888, and buy them a washing machine for young people, as well as that electric rice cooker, a sewing machine, and finally see whether they choose a TV or a fridge. What do you think?"
As soon as Mr. Wang said this, Little Uncle Zhao and Little Aunt Zhao were stunned.
A monetary gift of eight hundred eighty-eight?
And buying other things as well?
They knew about washing machines because they had used them, but these things were more expensive than bicycles.
As for the electric rice cooker, they had used one back home because it was convenient for cooking rice.
Then there was the choice between a TV and a fridge?
A TV might cost more than the monetary gift.
For a moment, they didn’t know how much dowry to prepare?
All these things, when added up piecemeal, amounted to at least over two thousand.
It was just for a wedding.
It was too much, really too much.
They didn’t know how to respond.
They couldn’t offer a corresponding dowry.
Originally, since their daughter was remarrying, as long as the young man was decent, they would not refuse, and the amount of the bride price was just a formality.
Zhao Tianlei knew they were stunned by all these items.
"In-laws, Aunt, Uncle, these things, it’s just a formality, we will have the young couple take them back with them. Nowadays, we all hope for the two of them to live well in the future," he said.
