Chapter 172: Proposing Marriage to He and Lu
"Comrade Huo Haoshen, since you are in a free love relationship, as elders, we will not object. However, you have been running around outside most of the year. It's not that we don't trust you, but the colorful world outside is too tempting. If you do something to let her down that day, you must know that our Lu family will not let you go."
Lu Zhixing and the others were satisfied with Huo Haoshen, but as a father-in-law, he still had to say what he should say.
"Uncle, aunt, please rest assured that I, Huo Haoshen, will never do anything to let Shuyan down in my life. I like making money, but I only like the feeling of making money. In the future, all the money I earn will be given to Shuyan. If one day I really let Shuyan down, then I will leave the house with nothing and let you do whatever you want with me."
When Huo Haoshen heard Lu Zhixing's words, he stood up and solemnly assured them.
"Comrade Lu, Comrade Xiao, don't worry. Although our Huo family is not a wealthy family, we don't do those dirty things. If one of these guys does something to let Shu Yan down, you don't have to do anything. We will personally expel him from the family, and I will personally break his legs."
After listening to their words, Wang Qun knew that one reason why they were willing to marry their daughter to their family was because of the relationship between Ruan Ruan and the Ruan family. If one day, the relationship between their two families was affected because of Huo Haoshen, then Huo Haoshen would be a sinner. In order not to affect Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng, they would not let him go.
After listening to the assurances of Huo Haoshen and his mother, Xiao Pingyu, as she was also my mother, became more friendly to them.
"We have no problem with the betrothal gifts. When the time comes, Shuyan will take the gift money back. These gifts will be enough for our family. As for the dowry, we will prepare 600 for her. In addition, we will convert the 36 legs they have settled in into money and give them all together. In addition, we will add 200 yuan as a resettlement fee."
Xiao Pingyu looked at the two people sitting next to each other. She had nothing to say. Since her daughter had chosen the person herself and they agreed, she could only oblige them. As parents, all they could do for her was to give her some more money for self-defense.
"Okay, okay, since both parties have no problem, the marriage between the Huo and Lu families is settled. We will choose a good day after we go back."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."
"No trouble, no trouble, we are all family, what's the trouble?"
Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Gu Wenzhen stood up and said that she would not disturb them anymore. Then, under the gaze of the Lu family, the group drove away and headed for the He family.
Watching their shadows leave, Xiao Pingyu took his daughter's hand and went back to the house. "You have a good eye. The Huo family has a good family tradition. Everyone in this generation of grandchildren has good abilities, and with Huo Haocheng as the eldest brother, you will have a smooth life as long as you don't make mistakes in the future."
As soon as they entered the room, Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan sat aside like a foil, and didn't say much. Normally, since their younger brother came to propose marriage, as cousins, they didn't need to come. However, they still came. They all knew why. For this, Lu Zhixing and Xiao Pingyu had a higher opinion of them.
His daughter's marriage was settled, and then Lu Zhixing went out with his briefcase.
On the other side, Zheng Xuyang, Ruan Chuanji and Zhou Lifang also drove off.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the fork in the road not far from the He family at the agreed time. After the two sides met up, they walked towards the staff building where the He family lived.
Like the Lu family, He Yuwei was also waiting for them downstairs in the family building.
"Uncle Ruan, Aunt Ruan, Uncle Huo, Aunt Huo, Comrade Ruan Ruan, Comrade Huo Haocheng, Comrade Huo Haoshen, Comrade Zheng Xuyang, hello!"
"Yuwei, please come and wait for us."
"Hello Comrade He Yuwei"
After both parties greeted each other, He Yuwei took them upstairs.
The He family lived on the fifth floor of the staff building, and was assigned a three-bedroom apartment. Fortunately, it had a separate bathroom and kitchen.
After several people entered the house, He Mingyu stood up and led them in.
"Commander Ruan, Director Gu, comrades, come in and sit down."
"Director He, sorry to bother you. You are all aware of Xuyang's situation. So this time, Director Gu and I, as Xuyang's elders, came to your family to propose marriage. I hope your family will not think we are too presumptuous."
As soon as Ruan Chuanji entered the door, he directly told He Mingyu why he came together. He was also telling them not to do anything. Even though there was no one left in the Zheng family now, he, Zheng Xuyang, was protected by the Ruan family and the Gu family, and not everyone could control him.
"How could that be? It is an honor for our family to have Commander Ruan and Director Gu here. We can't wait to welcome them. Yuwei, come on, pour tea for everyone."
After seeing so many people coming, He Yuwei was slightly stunned. When she saw Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng following behind, she was not so nervous anymore. When she heard her father asking her to pour tea, she went immediately.
After the few of them sat down, Zhou Lifang started to act like a matchmaker, talking about the good things about Zheng Xuyang.
Of course, after He Yuwei wrote to say that she and Zheng Xuyang were dating, He Mingyu went to find Ruan Chuanji and learned about the Zheng family's affairs from him. In his opinion, Zheng Xuyang's brother did nothing wrong, and he also expressed his understanding of the Zheng family's situation.
Now seeing Zheng Xuyang himself, he has very good conditions. Even if he was born in Beijing earlier, perhaps his family background is similar to theirs. If that is the case, his family has many sisters, and the whole family lives together, quarreling every day. The man may be far inferior to Zheng Xuyang. Moreover, Zheng Xuyang has the Ruan family and the Gu family behind him, so the He family is very satisfied with this marriage.
Afterwards, Zhou Lifang laid out the gifts she had prepared and the gifts Ruan Ruan had given to He Yuwei, introduced them one by one, and then said, "Director He, the gift given by the man is based on the gift money of a noble family in Beijing, which is 600 yuan. The watch has been bought, and the bicycle. They mean that they work in Yuncheng and cannot come back in a short time, so they bought it in Yuncheng. When Xuyang builds a house near the factory in the early spring of next year, you can go there and live for a while whenever you have time. What do you think?"
He Mingyu expressed his satisfaction. The He family had no mistress, so He Mingyu converted his daughter's dowry and gift into money and gave her 1000 yuan directly, saying that he would let He Yuwei take it away together with the gift money when they got married.
After both parties reached an agreement, it was already getting late, so the He family hosted them and they went to Youlailou for lunch. Afterwards, the elders drove back by themselves. As for the young people, they didn't need to worry about what they did.
