Chapter 103 Discussing the Dowry
"Qingshan, should we find some time to visit Yuxi's parents?"
Xie Shufen calmed herself down and thought about this matter. It was understandable that their family did not visit their son when he was injured before, but their son is now able to walk, and if they don't pay a formal visit, it would be considered immature of their family!
Shen Qingshan nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's time to go. Yuxi is a loyal girl, and our family can't treat her badly. Prepare some generous gifts and go visit her tomorrow."
The next morning, the Shen family got up early, got ready, and set off for Lin Yuxi's home.
Shen Qingshan was carrying a heavy gift box in his hand, which was filled with all kinds of precious gifts, including supplements for Lin Yuxi's parents, as well as jewelry and clothes for Lin Yuxi, all of which were carefully selected by them.
Arriving at the Lin family's door, Shen Qingshan took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing Lin Yuxi's familiar and friendly face. When she saw the Shen family, she was stunned at first, and then she showed a surprised smile.
"Uncle, aunt, why are you here?" Lin Yuxi said as she invited them in.
Shen Qingshan handed her the gift box and said with a smile, "Yuxi, you have worked hard these days. We came here specially to thank you and your parents."
Lin Yuxi took the gift box and guessed why several people came.
The Shen family was invited into the living room, and Lin Yuxi's parents also came after hearing the news. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Shen Qingshan said straight to the point: "Brother Lin, sister-in-law, we came here today, in addition to thanking you, there is another thing we want to discuss with you."
Lin Jianye and Sun Li looked at each other and had guessed about 70% of the answer. Lin Jianye nodded and motioned for Shen Qingshan to continue.
"Minghui was able to recover so quickly and well, all thanks to Yuxi's meticulous care. Our whole family saw it and were deeply touched. I think that now that the two children have an emotional foundation and we are both satisfied, can we consider arranging their marriage?" Shen Qingshan said sincerely and firmly.
Lin Yuxi's parents smiled with relief when they heard this. They liked Shen Minghui since they knew him. He had a good family background, strong abilities, and more importantly, they were in love with each other. Now that they finally saw him in person, they were more convinced of his excellence. The Shen family took the initiative to bring up the marriage, so they were naturally happy to see it happen.
"Brother Shen, what you said hits the nail on the head. We also like Minghui very much, and we are also happy that Yuxi can find a good home." Lin Jianye said. "We agree to this marriage!"
Sun Li also took Xie Shufen's hand and said affectionately: "Shufen, we will be relatives from now on, so we must visit each other often!"
Upon hearing this, the Shen family members all smiled with joy. Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi also smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future.
Now that they had agreed to the marriage, the next step was to deal with the details. The heads of the family saw the children just standing there doing nothing and simply sent them all away.
"Yuxi, take Minghui out to buy some food and invite your aunt and the others to have a meal later."
Knowing what they were going to talk about, Lin Yuxi did not refute and obediently took a few people away, leaving only the two parents to talk.
Xie Shufen watched as the children went out and spoke more freely.
"My dear relatives, my husband and I have discussed it and decided to give a betrothal gift of 660 yuan for good luck. We hope that the future of the two of you will be smooth and harmonious."
"In addition, the four major wedding items, watches, bicycles, sewing machines, and radios, are what other people have, so our family also provides Xiaoxi with all of them! As for Xiaoxi's hidden wardrobe, our family has connections in Shanghai, so we directly asked someone to buy six sets of the latest styles for Xiaoxi."
"As for other daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels and blankets, thermoses, flashlights, and various meats and vegetables such as pork, chicken, and fish required for the wedding banquet, we will also prepare them one by one, so you don't need to worry about it!"
……
"My dear relatives, do you have any other requests or suggestions? If so, please feel free to ask. As long as we can do it, our family will do our best to meet them!"
Sun Li was completely stunned by these words. She couldn't even remember what she was going to say at first. She even wondered if she was hallucinating.
Listen to what this person is saying?
How much is the betrothal gift? Six hundred and six? Nowadays, it is common for rural families to get married for less than six yuan, but their family is now directly paying six hundred and sixty?
I'm afraid no one will believe this if you tell them!
A watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio are all the four pieces of a wedding set. Are they all ready to go? Nowadays, if a family has only one piece, they will be able to show off for years! Are they all ready to go?
Six sets of clothes? And they bought the latest styles directly from Shanghai?
Haha, a better in-law would just give a piece of cloth, right?
Not to mention that the husband’s family directly took over all the preparations for the wedding banquet!
This is to directly raise all conditions to the highest standards!
Lin Jianye and Sun Li knew that the reason why the Shen family treated their daughter so well was because they considered that their daughter had always been loyal to Shen Minghui!
That's right, the Lin family already knew how badly Shen Minghui was injured. Lin Yuxi told them not long ago. However, apart from being angry at her for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and feeling extremely distressed, they could only surrender in the face of Lin Yuxi's method of acting like a spoiled child!
What's more, hasn't Shen Minghui slowly recovered?
So, facing the current good situation, what is there that few people cannot accept?
Lin Jianye was also shocked by the Shen family's generosity. He took a long time to speak and said, "My dear relatives, we appreciate your kindness, but we really don't need so much. We are willing to marry this girl because we really like Minghui. Let's just follow the normal standards!"
Now the Shen family was overwhelmed by their daughter's sincerity, and Shen Minghui was indeed well, so they were so excited that they took out so many things. But when they calmed down, who knows if they would regret it? Would they think that the Lin family was greedy?
In this world, human emotions are really something that is difficult to explain clearly!
Even if he was judging others by his own standards, there were some things that he had to be on guard against!
Lin Jianye had his concerns, but Xie Shufen also had her persistence. She said, "Why is it no longer necessary? When Minghui came back, I didn't dare to think that he would be able to stand up again in his life. If Xiaoxi hadn't insisted, I'm afraid I would have given up at some point."
Xie Shufen imagined that she was about to give up, but one day in the future she suddenly knew that her son could get better...
She felt like she was going to collapse just thinking about that scene!
