Chapter 706: Marry Your Daughter or Sell Your Daughter
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the 20th of the first month, Fan Yumengās parents met with Ji Ziāangās family.
Of course, Ji Yuanyuan was not included in the family.
She was already out of confinement and had wanted to go.
After all, it was Ji Ziāangās big day. As his younger sister, it was a pity that she did not appear.
However, to be on the safe side, Cheng Shuqin planned to let her stay in confinement until the day school started.
Moreover, it was winter now. If she went out right after the confinement period, she would suffer in the future if she got caught in the wind.
Ji Yuanyuan had no choice but to stay at home obediently.
Fortunately, this was only a meeting between their parents. It would be fine as long as she had the opportunity to be present at the engagement and wedding in the future.
Ji Yuanyuan had a good impression of his second sister-in-law, so she was already thinking about their marriage.
Fan Yumeng had a younger brother who came with her and looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
āIs this Yumengās brother? Did you apply for leave from school today?ā Zhang Kun asked as he chatted with the other party.
Father Fan was a little thin and not very tall. He looked a little shrewd.
He glanced at his son, āHeās also in B City. Heās at B Cityās University of Science and Technology. He doesnāt have classes this afternoon.ā
Zhang Kun replied politely, āItās pretty good. The University of Science and Technology is not bad.ā
āItās not bad,ā said Father Fan with a smile. āItās a little better than Yumengās university.ā
As he spoke, he even glanced at Ji Ziāang.
Zhang Kunās smile froze.
He understood. This meant the Fan familyās son was more capable than Ji Ziāang.
They all knew that Fan Yumeng and Ji Ziāang were in the same school.
Although he understood, Zhang Kun did not retaliate.
After a young man got married, he had less contact with his parents.
He was spending his days with Fan Yumeng, not his father-in-law.
It was fine as long as it looked passable on the surface.
Fan Yumeng also understood. She tugged at her fatherās sleeve awkwardly and said in a low voice, āDad, why are you saying this?ā
Father Fan chuckled. āIām just happy to see Ziāangās parents, so I canāt help but say a few more words.ā
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Xu quickly looked at Fan Yumengās mother and said, āI like Yumeng a lot. I met her once at school, and I thought we were fated to meet.ā
Fan Yumengās mother was gentle as she praised Ji Ziāang to Li Xu.
The atmosphere quickly calmed down. Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei were also there. The two of them sat quietly at the side and only answered when asked. After all, it was not their home ground, so it was better for them to speak less. Otherwise, it would be bad if he left a bad impression on his future parents-in-law.
After the dishes were served, a few of them became a little more familiar with each other. Only then did the topic turn to their marriage.
āIf you have any requests, feel free to ask. His father and I will try our best to do what we can. We will definitely hold the engagement party and wedding of the two children in a grand manner. We will never hold the children back.ā Li Xu expressed.
āWeāre not from the same place. There must be differences in customsā¦ā Mother Fan hesitated.
Li Xu understood what she meant and immediately said, āIt doesnāt matter. As for the betrothal gifts, itās no problem to do it according to your customs.ā When Father Fan heard this, he immediately slammed his chopsticks on the table, āItās like this. Generally speaking, betrothal gifts are based on the rules of the woman. Since you guys have no objections, then letās do as we say. We donāt want much. A million will do.ā
When Li Xu and Zhang Kun heard this, they were stunned.
Although they could afford a million and were willing to pay, the Fan familyās toneā¦
Furthermore, they did not give that much when they married Huang Weiwei.
However, it was easy to do. He could just secretly make up for it secretly.
Li Xu quickly recovered and said with a smile, āNo problem.ā
Ji Ziāang frowned and turned to look at Fan Yumeng.
Fan Yumeng lowered her head and said nothing.
Father Fan and Mother Fan looked at each other and said, āIn addition, the wedding house must be bought in the Second Ring Road and have our Yumengās name on it.ā
The smiles on Li Xu and Zhang Kunās faces were a little hard to maintain. The two of them did not say anything.
Father Fan continued to talk to himself, āAnd the car. Although Ziāang canāt drive now, our Yumeng can. With a car, sending Ziāang out in the future would be convenient.ā
Ji Ziāang had a driverās license, but after racing for a long time, he would sometimes feel dizzy on the road.
Sometimes, he would forget he was on the road and think he was on the field.
Therefore, for safety reasons, he did not drive.
He either took a taxi or asked his family to pick him up.
āThisā¦ā Li Xu forced a smile. āActually, we prepared the wedding house for Ziāang a few years ago. He can move in after renovating it. As for the car, he definitely had to buy it.ā
āThat wonāt do. The house is pre-marital and has nothing to do with our Yumeng. You have to buy one and put it under Yumengās name.ā Father Fan retorted.
Seeing this, Mother Fan tugged at Father Fanās sleeve, āDonāt be so rude.ā
Then, he looked at Li Xu and said gently, āZiāangās Mother, Iām really sorry. His words are not pleasant to the ears. Please donāt lower yourself to his level.ā Li Xuās lips twitched, but she didnāt say anything.
āBut we only have one daughter, Yumeng. Of course, we want her to live a better life.ā
Other than that, she didnāt say anything else.
Ji Ziāang and Fan Yumeng had made a hasty decision, so they did not discuss the betrothal gift.
Ji Ziāang thought he could just let the parents discuss it directly.
Even if they wanted more, how much could it be?
At most, he would pay for the extra money himself so that his eldest brother and sister-in-law would not feel uncomfortable.
He didnāt expect the Fan family to be so bold as to ask for a million yuan.
Not only that, but he also wanted to buy a house for Fan Yumeng.
A house in the Second Ring Road? Did the Fan family know how much a house in the Second Ring Road was worth?
āFan Yumeng, is this your idea or your familyās idea?ā Ji Ziāang asked directly.
Fan Yumeng looked up with tears in her eyes.
āJi Ziāang, whatās with your attitude?ā Father Fan panicked.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun quickly stood up to smooth things over, āZiāang, speak properly.ā
Father Fan pointed the spearhead at Li Xu and Zhang Kun, āIs this how you educate your son? Youāre not even married yet, and you dare to speak to my daughter like this?ā
āWeāre only talking about betrothal gifts. What about dowry?ā With his bad temper, how could he tolerate others speaking to his parents like that? He directly rebuked Father Fan.
Father Fan was stunned for a moment before replying, āOnly a good-for-nothing man would think about his wifeās dowry.ā
Did this mean that there was no dowry?
āAre you marrying off your daughter or selling her?ā Ji Ziāang sneered..
