Chapter 310 I hope you can still smile innocently later.
Even if what you say is true, I've never heard of any family accepting so much dowry when their daughter gets married.
“We appreciate the sentiment, but the bride price can’t be that much,” Zhao Tian’s father said, taking another deep drag on his pipe and tapping the burnt-out tobacco in a tin can.
Then he placed the tobacco pipe to the side.
He looked at Su Niannian and spoke.
Although Gu's mother also felt that 280 yuan was a bit outrageous.
However, she felt that Su Niannian must have had a reason for doing this.
Although Gu Zhendong was supposed to repay Su Niannian and Gu Nan the money after his leg healed, since Su Niannian had already taken it out and said so much, she must have approved of Zhao Tian.
that……
"You should accept it. It's Gu Zhendong's idea. It also shows that he values Zhao Tian," Gu's mother said.
Zhao Tian's parents looked at each other. Since her in-laws had said so, and they had already refused many times, they realized that this was the case.
If I don't accept it, it will seem like I'm being overly sentimental.
Zhao Tian's parents thought that the dowry was indeed a bit too much, and they would give Zhao Tian some more to take back to the family when she left home.
Anyway, Zhao Tian is going to Beijing, where she's unfamiliar with the place, so having more money on hand is always a good thing.
Thinking about it, he decided not to refuse anymore.
"It's truly remarkable that the Gu family has gone to such lengths. We'll accept this bride price."
"I hope the young couple will have a good and happy life together from now on." Zhao Tian's father accepted the two hundred and eighty yuan.
Zhao Tian's mother nodded in agreement.
This matter has been resolved satisfactorily. Wei Heping has also relented, and Zhao Tian's mother plans to go to the matchmaker and the witnesses tomorrow morning to cancel the marriage.
It's getting late.
Mother Gu then took Gu Nan and Su Niannian and left.
Zhao Tian, along with her parents and younger brother, saw Gu's mother and the others to the door.
Some of the gossipy villagers outside the gate had already gone home when Wei Heping and his group left.
Without that old hag, there probably wouldn't be much excitement to watch.
They were all tired from a long day at work and hurried home to rest.
When Gu's mother and the other two returned home, Gu Ningning was already anxiously waiting.
Every now and then, he would take a flashlight and go to the gate of the yard to take a look.
After Gu Ningning looked several times, she finally saw her mother, second brother, and second sister-in-law return.
"You guys have been gone for way too long! I'm practically turning into a stone!" Gu Ningning saw the light and, after confirming who it was, jogged out.
If she couldn't see anyone, Gu Ningning was still a little scared because it was so dark outside.
So even though I went out to look around several times, I never went outside the main gate.
"Something happened that caused a slight delay." As Su Niannian spoke, Gu Ningning gently hugged her.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ningning rubbed against Su Niannian a couple of times and looked up to ask her.
"Let's go inside and talk," Su Niannian said with a smile, patting Gu Ningning's head.
Then, taking Gu Ningning's hand, they entered the courtyard and headed straight for Gu Zhendong's room.
To be honest, Gu Zhendong's only problem right now is his leg injury.
Otherwise, they would have rushed out long ago.
He was getting impatient and frustrated.
I originally thought that it wouldn't take my mother and the others long to get there.
It took so long, as expected.
Gu Zhendong guessed in his heart that something must have happened, something that even Gu Nan and Su Niannian had trouble handling.
The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I felt.
Fortunately, just when Gu Zhendong was getting extremely anxious, some noise finally came from the courtyard outside.
Then light shone into the yard.
Gu Zhendong knew that they had returned.
I craned my neck to look at the doorway of my room.
Until they saw Su Niannian pulling Gu Ningning in.
Gu Zhendong quickly asked about the progress of his marriage proposal to Zhao Tian's family.
Su Niannian smiled, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and teased, "Big brother, are you getting impatient?"
Seeing that Su Niannian looked relaxed, Gu Zhendong felt much relieved.
"Sister-in-law, stop teasing me. Just tell me how it went."
At this moment, Gu's mother and Gu Nan also came in, each holding a water glass.
Gu Nan was worried that Su Niannian was thirsty because she hadn't had water for so long, so he went to pour her some water after entering the courtyard.
Gu's mother also poured a glass of water for Gu Zhendong.
Su Niannian took the water glass from Gu Nan and took small sips. After taking two sips, she handed the glass back to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Niannian then smiled and began to tell Zhao Tian about her situation.
Gu Zhendong remained silent after hearing this.
When it came to the fact that Zhao Tian's parents had agreed to let Zhao Tian go to Beijing with Gu Zhendong, Gu Zhendong's smile deepened considerably.
He also wanted to return to Beijing, not because he disliked rural life, but because he believed he could have better opportunities there.
The sky and sea are vast over there, and Gu Zhendong feels that the atmosphere has become more relaxed in the past two years, so there might be some changes in that area.
There might be an opportunity, who knows?
"You're still laughing? Don't you even know how much dowry your dear sister-in-law gave you?" Looking at Gu Zhendong's innocent smile, Gu's mother really thought, "You're still too naive."
"How much? Dowry? Any amount is fine." Gu Zhendong grinned foolishly.
He felt that the bride price should be only a few dozen yuan, or even sixty or eighty yuan, which he could repay to Gu Nan and his wife later with his own earnings.
As long as he can be with Zhao Tian, Gu Zhendong now feels that a few dozen yuan in dowry is nothing.
Money, you just have to earn it slowly as you live!
It's not that I won't pay back the money; I'll just earn the money myself and pay it back.
Seeing that Gu Zhendong still looked so innocent, Gu's mother couldn't bear to tell him how much money he had.
But they are brothers after all. At worst, it will take a long time, and they will be able to pay it back sooner or later.
Seeing Gu Zhendong smiling happily, Su Niannian smiled and spoke up as well.
"Yes, I gave Zhao Tian's family 280 yuan as a bride price. At first, they wouldn't accept it. I had to talk to my mother for a long time before they finally accepted it," Su Niannian said to Gu Zhendong with a smile.
"Hmm, two hundred and eighty yuan as a bride price, is that...okay?"
"What? How much?" Gu Zhendong was initially immersed in happiness, but when he actually heard the amount of the bride price, he was stunned.
Goodness, two hundred and eighty yuan? This...
Gu Zhendong didn't think Zhao Tian wasn't worth 280 yuan, but rather that he probably wouldn't be able to pay her back anytime soon...
That's two hundred and eighty yuan!
However, I had promised before that no matter how much the bride price was, I would return it to Gu Nan and his wife.
We can't just renege on our debts because we've been paid too much.
"It's alright, I'll earn the money to pay you back, but this is a bit much, I'll try to earn it as quickly as possible." Gu Zhendong put away his smile and said to Su Niannian and Gu Nan with a serious expression.
