Are the brothers about to split up the family business?
"If I go with you, what will happen to my job? What will happen to my family?"
Sha Zhu is unhappy.
Bai Lianhua coaxed him, "You have the skills of a chef, so you'll have food to eat wherever you go. As for your family, didn't you say your older brother is very capable? Let him take care of them."
“How could you say such a thing? How could I hand over the entire burden of the family to my eldest brother? If I were to just leave like this, that would be irresponsible.”
He can't be coaxed.
White Lotus simply pouted angrily.
"So, you're saying you won't marry me for your older brother's sake?"
“That’s not what I meant. Actually, how can Baoding compare to Beijing? After we get married, you can come to Beijing. We’ll have a house, I’ll have a job, and my older brother will find you a job too. Life will be so wonderful.”
"What about my mom?"
"At worst, we can just take it."
"What about my older and younger siblings, my grandparents, my uncles and aunts? You only think about your own family, why don't you think about me? What will happen to them if I come to Beijing with you?"
Sha Zhu was dumbfounded.
Why do you have to marry her whole family when you're just marrying one person?
As for her mother, her older and younger siblings, she should be in charge of them.
But my maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts are also coming?
Even if Jia Dongxu from their courtyard married a rural woman and had a bunch of brothers and sisters, he wouldn't have to worry about her.
"Are you scared? Does that mean you don't want to marry me anymore?"
"No, I'm just worried that this salary won't be enough to support you all."
"What are you afraid of? We'll go to my house tomorrow, and we'll get married at the end of this month."
what?
There are only a few days left until the end of the month.
Are they going to achieve their goal so soon?
Sha Zhu was so happy that he forgot all his previous unpleasantness.
"So I'm going to meet my mother-in-law, then I'd better go buy some more things."
"What mother-in-law? That's not even a question yet."
"Didn't you say that after meeting your mother, we could get married at the end of this month?"
"Aren't you reluctant to leave your job and your older brother?"
"Hehe, these things are negotiable. My older brother is very understanding, and I believe he will support me."
"I don't care, but we absolutely cannot tell your older brother about this before we get married."
Upon hearing the words "marriage," Sha Zhu immediately understood.
The thought of Bai Lianhua becoming his future wife had already overwhelmed him with joy.
I couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
He just kept nodding in agreement.
"Let me know in advance what we're going to bring and what we need to discuss."
"What you bring isn't important. What's important is that my mom will ask you about the bride price later."
"How much dowry should we prepare?"
Sha Zhu was full of confidence.
When Jia Dongxu got married, he had already set a precedent for the custom of using traditional courtyard house dowries.
Qin Huairu asked for a full 101 back then!
How much white lotus flower do we need?
Besides, her hometown is Baoding, so how could her price be higher than that of people in Beijing?
She held up two fingers.
It was originally 20 yuan.
He knew he had found a good family; the woman was gentle and charming, and her mother was understanding.
Sha Zhu immediately nodded: "No problem, I can get it out right now."
"I meant 200, don't misunderstand."
"What? 200?"
"I had to beg my mom, saying that I wasn't after your money at all, but because I liked you as a person. Otherwise, according to the custom in our area, it would have been at least 300."
Sha Zhu was speechless with astonishment.
Don't know what to say.
He doesn't have that much money at all.
How much can he earn in a year?
How could I possibly come up with 200 yuan?
Not only was he startled.
Wang Liying was also startled!
Hearing their conversation, her heart pounded nervously.
She made Sha Zhu quit his job here, sold his house, and went to Baoding with her.
I thought all of this was outrageous enough!
I didn't expect them to ask for such a high bride price again.
What on earth does she want to do?
Did you think Sha Zhu was an oil press that could extract oil anytime?
"What exactly is her purpose? If she wants to scam money, then why does she say she's getting married to Sha Zhu at the end of the month? If it's for him as a person, then why make such an unreasonable request? It's simply incomprehensible."
Even Wang Liying noticed it.
He Hongyang heard every single word clearly.
This seemingly innocent woman is so eager to get married, and yet she's so resistant to him; there must be some conspiracy behind it all.
Bai Lianhua watched as Sha Zhu stood there speechless.
He said angrily, "I'm going to the outhouse. Give me an answer before I get back, or else this is over!"
He then went downstairs.
He Hongyang pulled Wang Liying along, saying, "Let's go down and take a look."
She dashed off to the public restroom outside.
I've been eating and drinking a lot, now I urgently need to solve my personal problems.
He Hongyang whispered in Wang Liying's ear, "When she comes out later, deliberately bump into her, and I'll take the opportunity to check her pulse."
Why did you take her pulse when she was perfectly fine?
"Did you notice just now that most of the dishes on the table were sour, and when she ate her noodles, she poured almost half a bottle of vinegar into them? I think there's something wrong with that."
Wang Liying was so shocked that she covered her mouth: "You mean she's pregnant?"
"This is just a guess. I'll be able to confirm it once I feel her pulse."
Then the white lotus flower appeared.
Wang Liying pretended to go to the outhouse and bumped into her.
The white lotus flower almost fell over because it wasn't standing properly.
He Hongyang caught her.
As he supported her, he placed his hand on her pulse.
His face immediately changed color!
"Thank you."
He Hongyang abruptly pulled his hand back: "No need to be polite."
Watch her walk away.
Wang Liying hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"Yes, she is pregnant, but it's not very far along. I guess she's just started getting pregnant."
"No wonder they're in such a hurry to get married."
Did Sha Zhu strike first?
However, He Hongyang felt that he didn't have the guts.
"When did he start not coming home at night?"
Wang Liying couldn't remember either.
Because the cafeteria staff need to be on duty at night, Sha Zhu used to often not come back at night.
So she didn't know either.
Besides, these kinds of things don't only happen at night; maybe they're together during the day too.
81. The wind rises, He Daqing is back!
This is a big deal for the Ho family.
Wang Liying has not had children in recent years.
In other words, the child in Bai Lianhua's belly will be the first third generation of the He family.
No matter what, I have to marry her.
"Brother Hongyang, about the bride price, how about we help him out?"
He is the eldest brother.
Let alone a dowry of 200 yuan, he could definitely afford any amount of money.
Moreover, when Sha Zhu gets married in the future, he will definitely help him make it a grand and beautiful affair.
The problem now is...
Is this white lotus flower really worth 200 yuan?
"It's still uncertain whose child it is. I need to find Sha Zhu to confirm."
Wang Liying was so shocked that she stood there stunned.
"You mean it's not his?"
"It's not impossible!"
"We can't just make wild guesses."
"Once I see Sha Zhu, I will naturally ask him for clarification. You go home first, and I will take care of the rest."
"You must stay calm, and the two of you absolutely must not start arguing."
The courtyard was even more lively than the teahouse.
He Daqing is back!
That's right!
The person He Hongyang saw through the window just now was He Daqing!
