Chapter 653 Special Dowry
Chapter 653 Special Dowry
Bai Xuan wanted to drive home quickly and quietly, but Yu'er wouldn't let him do that. He was like a sparrow, chirping non-stop along the way. When Bai Xuan ignored her, she would go up to him and grab his arm and talk. Bai Xuan didn't dare to drive fast at all, and the usual twenty-minute drive took him almost an hour.
Wang Yu talks a lot without thinking, saying everything she should and shouldn't say.
"Xuan, you say how happy I am! Guess what my two brothers want to ask me?" Wang Yu said mysteriously.
"That's a matter between you and your siblings. I have no right to pry into it." Bai Xuan said. Even after the two of them got married, they should have their own private space.
"But it's related to you, aren't you curious?" Wang Yu said again.
"Yeah, I'm curious." Bai Xuan said. He was indeed curious, but it was not easy for him to ask actively since Xiao Yuer wanted to say it herself.
"My brothers and others are worried that I don't have a dowry and will be disliked when I arrive at your house..." Yu'er said ramblingly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible? I love you so much, how could I despise you? And look how much my parents like you! I don't care whether you get married with a dowry or not. How about this! I'll give you some money and you can keep it as a dowry." Bai Xuan said excitedly.
"Hey, why don't you listen to what I have to say! Why do I need your money? I have enough money of my own. What I want to say is that my two brothers think that I must have the confidence to marry into your family, so they each gave me a large sum of money as a dowry." Yu'er said.
"Is that so! You can't take this money. Tell them that we in the Bai family don't care about family background. For a virgin like you to marry a divorced man like me, I'm already marrying above my station." Bai Xuan said.
"Yes! Especially since you are so much older than me." Yu'er said unintentionally.
"Baby, can we not mention my age today? Do you regret it?" Bai Xuan said resentfully.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't think so much. No, why should I regret it! I am very happy to be with you." Yu'er said to comfort Mr. Bai.
"I'm very happy too." Bai Xuan touched Yu'er's head and said.
"Xuan, you don't know yet! My father died of illness when I was very young. My mother did all kinds of dirty and tiring work to support four of us brothers and sisters. Sometimes, in order to save money to support us, she always skipped lunch. As time went by, my mother also got stomach cancer. The doctor said that there was still a glimmer of hope with surgery, but at that time, only my eldest brother was working to earn money, and we were not yet adults, so we could only earn a little money secretly. How could we afford the surgery fees in the hospital!" Yu'er said sadly when she mentioned the past.
"It was He Lingting who helped you." Bai Xuan said.
"Well, by chance, my eldest brother met grandpa and helped him a little. Not only did he find the best doctor for mom, but he also gave my brother and I the opportunity to continue our studies. That's how we are today." Yu'er continued.
"Ting is impressed by your qualifications and wants to use them for his own benefit," said Bai Xuan.
"Maybe! He is a good boss. What I want to say is that when I was a child and had no food to eat, my brothers and sisters never let me go hungry. Now they have given me their wives and capital. I am really touched. They have given so much for me..." Yu'er was so moved that she shed tears as she spoke.
Bai Xuan wiped away the tears on Yu'er's face and said, "Silly girl, we should be nicer to them in the future. There is a long way to go, and you will have many opportunities to repay them."
"Yeah." Yu'er wiped away her tears and nodded. She had been keeping these words in her heart and didn't know who to talk to. Today, under the influence of alcohol, she blurted them all out.
Bai Xuan held her little hand lovingly, kissed her and said, "Yu'er, dear, it's all over. Things will get better and better in the future. Let's not think about those unhappy past events, okay?"
"Okay, I don't know what happened. I suddenly thought of it today. Maybe it was because my eldest and third brothers were moved!" Yu'er said again.
……
Just like that, Yu'er muttered all the way and finally got home. When they got home, it was already midnight. Maybe Yu'er was tired, so she stopped talking. She simply took a shower and went to bed. Bai Xuan looked at Yu'er's rosy little face, smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that he really couldn't let her drink in the future. Her voice was almost hoarse from talking all the way.
In the following few days, Wang Yu's mother cleaned the house and dressed herself up every day. She couldn't bring shame to her daughter!
The weekend soon arrived, and Wang Yu went home on Saturday, planning to help his mother prepare. Unexpectedly, his mother had already packed everything. His eldest brother and third brother had also gone home, and only his second sister who was abroad had not returned.
Ever since their son told them, the two elders of the Bai family have been preparing the betrothal gifts these days. Their eldest son has been married before, and it is a blessing for their Bai family that such a good child like Yu'er can be with him. They cannot treat the child unfairly, and the betrothal gifts must be decent.
So early on Sunday morning, Bai's mother asked the servants to prepare a larger bag, which contained the property certificate, car keys, three gold jewelry, and some jewelry from Bai's mother's personal collection, etc., filling up a whole bag.
Originally, Bai Xuan wanted to book a private room in the hotel, where both sets of parents and relatives could eat and chat to finalize their marriage, but Bai's mother said that it would be more polite to propose marriage in person.
On Sunday, Wang's mother was very nervous early in the morning. She was just an ordinary old woman, and she had never met rich people in the mansions of the rich families. She was really afraid that she would not be able to entertain them well and ruin her daughter's good fortune.
Until the moment she met Bai's mother, she felt relieved. Yu'er's future mother-in-law was really good to Yu'er. People said that the amount of the bride price could reflect the attitude of the man's family. The Bai family gave too much!
Mother Wang looked at the betrothal gifts on the table and said, "My dear, there is no need for so many gifts. This is too much!"
"Old sister, it's not much, Yu'er deserves it. I'm afraid it's not enough. Yu'er, if you find out if you still need anything later, be sure to tell me and I will buy it for you." Bai's mother said.
"No, there's nothing missing, aunt. I also think there are too many. It's really unnecessary. And what is this?" Wang Yu asked, picking up a folded piece of paper.
"This! It's a special betrothal gift from Xuan'er to you. It can also be regarded as a promise from you. Open it and take a look." Bai's mother said.
Wang Yu opened the paper and began to read it, not quite understanding what was said. As she read, her eyes became moist...
"What's wrong, child?" Mother Wang asked worriedly.
"It's okay, Mom. I'm touched. Do you know what it says?"
"Silly child, how would I know?" said Mother Wang.
"He said that if I betrayed him in this life, all the property under his name would belong to me, and he signed it himself." Wang Yu said.
"Child, you can't do this. It's fate that you can be together till the end. You can't tie someone down with this!" said Mother Wang.
No matter what everyone said, Bai Xuan insisted on his own opinion. In the end, the Wang family had no choice but to accept it, but they felt more at ease with Bai Xuan. Then everyone had lunch happily and set a date for their wedding.
