Chapter 709 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (30)

"Niece, you just like to joke around. Please count the betrothal gifts. We are a family, and our face is ours."

After opening the box, everyone saw the items inside. Gu Shanhu didn't expect that her betrothal gift would be so much. Why was the amount on the list that Aunt Ning handed to her less than half?

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you must count carefully, so that there won't be any shortage of weight."

"That's natural. Please watch out, old man."

Father Shi took the gift list and checked it one by one. Finally, he handed the list to Gu Yuxi and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's enough."

Gu Yuxi took a look and didn't expect that this eunuch was so generous. These things were worth several hundred taels in total.

"Uncle, your five taels of silver make it very difficult for me to do anything."

Knowing that Gu Yuxi was going to ask for an exorbitant price again, the man had already prepared himself mentally and asked, "Niece, you ask, as long as it's within your uncle's acceptable range."

"At least one hundred taels."

"Ah! Not so much."

"Anyway, my father has been divorced and sent back home to farm. Now there is trouble in my uncle's family. You definitely don't want this ridiculous matter of wrong marriage to become the topic of conversation among the people of Menghua City. After all, you have been wearing this black hat unsteadily for a year."

Gu Yuxi spoke slowly and calmly, with an air of anger without being intimidating. Everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Can you promise not to talk nonsense outside?"

"Uncle, you can trust me to do things. How about this? I'll give you fifty taels to give you peace of mind. Why not? If I'm a daughter of the Yang family, if I just go with the county government..."

"Okay, I'll give it!"

Gu Yuxi took the silver and sparks seemed to burst out of his eyes.

"Grandpa, mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, now that the matter has been resolved, we don't have to stay in my uncle's house. After all, he is still busy."

"Brother Shi, I will definitely come to visit you someday..."

"No need. We no longer have any friendship. We will not have any contact in the future. Sir Gu, I will take my leave."

Seeing Gu Yuxi and the others leaving with a box of betrothal gifts, Gu Shanhu was no longer weak and said righteously: "Father, I can't marry into the Shi family. If you still consider me as your daughter, then..."

"Oh, okay, okay, you've grown wings, right? Then you can get married, and I'll just pretend that I don't have a daughter like you in the future."

"Master, this is not possible, Coral..."

"I am the head of the family, and I have the final say."

Gu Shanhu had tears in her eyes and kowtowed three times on the ground: "Thank you, father, for your help. I won't be able to fulfill my filial duty in the future, but I just hope that you will live a long and healthy life and follow your wishes."

"roll!"

Gu Shanhu got up and left. Before leaving, she glanced at her aging father. She was aware of her father's good intentions, but she could not make the decision on matters of the heart.

After returning to the dyeing workshop, Gu Yuxi began to pack up his things in the room, leaving the group of elders to chat on their own.

"Mother-in-law, this betrothal gift is a little too little, but this is all we can take for now."

"I'm not complaining about the small betrothal gift, I just feel uncomfortable. This was originally a matter between you and the eldest wife, but now it involves my daughter. If it were you, how would you handle it?"

"This……"

"Mother-in-law, we are all parents. It is fate that makes us feel that we should resolve our feud rather than create it."

"I really like this girl Xiaoxi. If you, mother-in-law, don't agree, then we will treat her as our daughter and give her as a dowry in the future."

"Do you think my daughter's dowry will be yours? My daughter got married without any clear reason, and now the son-in-law has nothing to show for it. How can he dislike my daughter?"

"No, Anzi has something to do in the army, so I have to go. I'm sorry, Xi girl."

Seeing his daughter reluctant to let go, the old man sighed and said, "My daughter, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Xier is already seventeen and a half, let her go. Didn't she express her feelings in the room just now?"

"Dad, do you think it's okay?"

"If Xi thinks it's okay, then let her do what she wants. If she gets bullied, can't we still support her?"

After much persuasion, Yang finally gave in and went to the cellar to get the dowry items that had been prepared in advance.

As she watched Gu Yuxi packing up her things and carrying away a box, she handed over the gift list but it was pushed back.

"Xier, what do you mean?" Yang asked in confusion.

"Mother, I am a businessman, and I will naturally do business in the future. You know that I have my own house in Menghua City, and I will return to Menghua City in the future."

"It's good to come back. This way, your mother can take care of you. Why don't you live in Menghua City now?"

"Because I'm already married, I still need to observe the temperaments of my parents-in-law for a while. They are easy to control, but they are not fools. You can also find out a little bit about what happened in the eldest house just now."

Yang held her daughter's hand and said seriously, "You can ask me any questions at any time."

Gu Yuxi thought about it and finally reminded: "Don't have anything to do with the eldest wife in the near future."

"But someone wants to interfere?"

"I'm afraid the night will be long and dreams will abound, but I'm going to make Gu Fenghuan suffer no matter what."

"Even if you don't tell me, I know what to do. The poor scholar that Gu Shanhu has taken a fancy to is not a good match. Hard days are still ahead."

"Then why don't you care about me, your daughter?"

"You and I don't have to worry too much, but in this world, new people replace old people, and talented people are naturally sentimental."

"If you don't have any more instructions, I'll pack my bags and leave."

"Remember to prepare the Cen family's wedding dresses as soon as possible."

"anything else?"

Looking at her daughter, Yang felt her eyes sore and said awkwardly: "Eat when it's time to eat and sleep when it's time to sleep. I think your father-in-law is a wealthy man. Don't be ungrateful for what you have."

"I know. Don't cry. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

"Go away! I won't cry."

Gu Yuxi carried her bag and said with a smile: "I know, I won't cry."

"You are disrespectful. Go away. I will settle the score with you tomorrow."

Seeing Yang's reluctant look, Gu Yuxi sighed slightly, hugged her, patted her shoulder, and said solemnly: "A mother worries when her son is thousands of miles away. I understand my mother's thoughts. Brother Xin is going to school, and I will take care of everything in the family. Don't be afraid of Ning Guigu's group."

After saying that, Gu Yuxi left without looking back, leading his donkey. He had lived in this place for several years and had some feelings for it.

"Xiao Xi, let's go. We'll come back with you tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, I'll get your things for you."

"My child, if you can't bear to leave, we will find a place to stay in Menghua City in the future, so that you and your mother can see each other every day."

"Father-in-law, please don't say that. I just feel reluctant to leave for the moment, but I still have you. Let's go."
