Shen Yanjun muttered for a long time, and then finally got to the point.
"Before, after the autumn harvest, my mother showed me a girl. You also know that since you and Ruanruan got engaged, my mother has taken this matter to heart and said that I am two years older than you. You We're already engaged, but I haven't settled yet, and people will laugh if word spreads."
"I was originally dispensable. I was still young anyway, but she insisted on letting me meet with her, so I went."
"You don't know, that girl is so pretty! Her family belongs to the Second Production Brigade. Between our Production Brigade and the Second Production Brigade, I have never seen a girl who is prettier than her."
After saying that, Shen Yanjun paused and looked at Su Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, you are the cute type."
Su Ruanruan laughed twice but said nothing.
Shen Yanjun didn't take Su Ruanruan's response to heart and continued, "She is tall, has fair skin, big eyes, a high nose, and a small mouth. She also has two big, shiny pigtails. She is cheerful and speaks in a loud voice. It also sounds good, and he is a good hand no matter at home or in the fields.”
Listening to Shen Yanjun's words, Su Ruanruan seriously doubted the authenticity of his words.
Is that girl really that good
Such a good girl, hasn't the doorstep of her family been trampled to pieces
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Yanjun sigh with regret.
"Everything is good, except that the family is poor and poor. She is the only girl in the family. She has three younger brothers. Her parents can't work yet, so the whole family expects her to marry into a good family and get more gifts."
Now, Su Ruanruan believed Shen Yanjun's praise of the girl.
"Others think her family is poor, she demands a lot of gifts, and her whole family is a vampire, so they dare not marry her, but I don't dislike her!"
"The person I want to marry is her, not a member of her family. As long as I agree to give you a one-time bride price, I will have nothing from my parents' family in the future. Can't she and I live a good life in the future?"
Hearing this, Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin both nodded.
This makes sense.
Besides, Xiao Aimei must have known about the situation in the girl's family before talking about the marriage, and maybe it was what Shen Yanjun thought.
"My mother and I told her so, and my mother thought so too. She also told her family members, and her family members agreed."
Wouldn't that be nice
Seeing Shen Yanjun stop talking, Su Ruanruan was a little irritable.
Can you finish it quickly? Are you acting in a movie? There will be some suspense for a while.
Fortunately, Shen Yanjun couldn't hold it in any longer. Without waiting for Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin to urge him, he continued, "Our two families were discussing the betrothal gift together. Her parents asked for three hundred yuan." The bride price includes a sewing machine, a bicycle, a flashlight, a watch, and cotton and cloth to make new clothes and a new quilt for each of their family members."
Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin were both shocked!
Is this a wife-in-law
This is marrying an ancestor!
It's not that there aren't so many betrothal gifts, but usually, if the man gives so many betrothal gifts, the woman has to give a dowry of the same value.
Just like when Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin got engaged, the Xiao family paid for the bicycle and the Su family paid for the ticket.
"Then how much dowry does their family plan to give?" Su Ruanruan couldn't hold back and asked anyway.
