Chapter 554: Foolish Husband 47
Just when the second aunt was acting as a matchmaker for Sanbao and Yuanchun, Guo Changming's marriage was also settled.
His fiancée, the same one from his previous life, was called Li Xiaoyan. She was the daughter of the director of the first workshop of the steel plant and also Master Guo Changming's immediate superior.
As Guo Changming was in a hurry to get a permanent job, the wedding date was also set quickly, and it would be held next weekend.
People in this era don't hold wedding banquets when they get married. They just get the marriage certificate, buy some fruit candies and give a few to the people who come to give gifts. Then they read the little red book in public, and they are considered married.
Of course, three turns and one ring, thirty-six legs, and the bride price are also required.
Although Guo Changming's parents are both working, they have many sons and the family savings cannot be drained by just one son, so the Guo family only bought Li Xiaoyan a watch, 60 yuan in betrothal money, and a set of new furniture.
Of course the Li family was not happy, but what could they do? Li Xiaoyan fell in love with Guo Changming at first sight and was determined to marry him.
Not to mention giving the betrothal money and a watch, even if he gave her money, Li Xiaoyan would insist on marrying Guo Changming, so the Li family had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Another weekend has arrived.
Yuanchun nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Mother Chen was so happy that she immediately entrusted the matter to her second aunt and asked Yuanchun to take two days off. Then they went to Dongpu Village to propose marriage.
Yuanchun wrote a letter in advance to tell Wei's father and mother about the matter between Yuanchun and Sanbao, and wrote about Sanbao's situation in detail. She also told her parents that she really liked Sanbao and was not under any coercion.
After receiving the letter, Wei's father and mother didn't understand why their outstanding daughter would fall in love with a man with low intelligence. But after seeing Sanbao, Wei's father and mother thought that this child was really beautiful.
Like a god who has descended to earth, he is not affected by the worldly affairs.
Moreover, Sanbao is obedient, well-behaved and sensible, which makes people like him easily. After spending a day with him, Wei's father and mother were reluctant to let him go, and they kept telling their daughter, "Don't bully Sanbao, he is well-behaved and sensible, he won't make you angry, you have to take good care of him."
Yuanchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Dad, Mom, am I still your biological daughter? Why are you siding with your son-in-law so quickly?"
Mother Wei patted her and said, "You silly girl, how can you compare with Sanbao? How old are you? You are still jealous of him. Do you have any shame?"
"Okay, I'll take good care of your son-in-law."
The marriage was settled and the wedding date was set for a month later. Yuanchun would come back to hold a wedding ceremony and then return to the provincial capital to hold another one.
All the expenses for the wedding were paid by the Chen family.
The Chen family will also prepare three turns and one ring thirty-six days of legs, four sets of clothes, and a betrothal gift of 688 yuan for Yuanchun.
This was all suggested by Chen's mother.
Wei's father and mother were shocked by such a large amount of betrothal money.
However, thinking that their daughter was going to marry Sanbao, who had low intelligence and could not earn money to support the family, and that the family would have to rely on their daughter alone to support it in the future, Wei's father and mother shut up when they were about to reduce the bride price.
Wei's father and mother decided that their daughter should take the betrothal gift and wedding gift money given by the Chen family to her in-laws' home, so that they can use it as an emergency measure in the future when their daughter needs money.
Of course, Wei's father and mother were unanimous in not planning to tell their son and daughter-in-law the amount of Yuanchun's betrothal gift and wedding gift money. If that unfilial couple knew that Yuanchun's wedding gift was so high and had some ulterior motives, there would be a big earthquake in the family.
Wei's father and mother didn't want to see the mean faces of their son and daughter-in-law, so they preferred to keep their affairs to themselves.
