The villagers were all talking about it. With so many betrothal gifts, it was really the first time in the village.The villagers were standing by Aunty Huang"s side, so Mrs. Liu did not dare to speak carelessly. The moment she opened her mouth, she would be poked in the spine by the villagers.
Although she didn"t say it out loud, in her heart, she hated Auntie Huang to death. She felt that Auntie Huang was being too nosy.
Old Li was afraid that Mrs. Liu would say something unpleasant to offend the entire village. He quickly walked forward and took the betrothal gift form from Mrs. Liu"s hands and smiled, "With so many betrothal gifts, how can they not be enough? Our family"s Xiao Ling is truly fortunate. " With a smile on his face, he looked around at the villagers before politely saying, "Everyone, come in and have a cup of tea!"
Just as he finished speaking, Liu Zhimo walked up to the village chief, and said humbly: "Cun Zhangyeye, my parents are no longer here, and I don"t have any other relatives. With regards to my marriage, I would need Cun Zhangyeye"s help." Then, he took out the other betrothal gift list and handed it to the village head. "This is the other betrothal gift list, can I trouble Cun Zhangyeye to take a look?"
Liu Zhimo"s words were spoken with sincerity, causing the village chief to feel a wave of comfort in his heart. He extended his hand, took the betrothal gift list from Liu Zhimo"s hands, and started to read it seriously.
Zeng Tie received the look Liu Zhimo gave him, and laughed as he took a step forward, and loudly said, "I"m sure everyone has never seen so many betrothal gifts before, right? Do you want to broaden your horizons? "
They had wanted to see it for a long time, but they were too embarra.s.sed to open their mouths because of their pride. When Zeng Tietou stood out and said this, they all echoed him, wanting to see what kind of precious betrothal gift was it?
Hearing that, Li Laifu became anxious, if he really allowed everyone to see what was inside, how could he change the deal?
"This is Xiao Ling"s betrothal gift, how can I let everyone just casually look at it? If it"s broken, who will compensate? "
Originally, they were moved by Li Laifu"s words, but now they started to hesitate.
Their family wasn"t that rich, so how could they afford to damage anything?
Should he stop looking?
She smiled and said, "It"s alright, Uncle, Uncle, Aunt want to see it. Let them see, it"s fine as long as they don"t act recklessly."
With Li Qingling"s words, it was as if the villagers had been injected with a shot at their heart, and their hearts calmed down.
Without waiting for Li Laifu to come forward to stop him, he quickly opened the lid, revealing the things inside.
When the villagers saw these things, they began to praise them, saying that their horizons were truly broadened today. They had never seen anything as good as this before.
The women were both jealous and envious of Li Qingling, thinking that she was really lucky to be able to marry Liu Zhimo and receive so many betrothal gifts.
Moreover, she was also a capable person, so the dowry wouldn"t be too far off.
In the past, they had neither parents nor parents, and even thought that it would be a problem for them to get enough food. However, they had never imagined that they would have such great fortune today.
For a moment, the villagers felt very complicated in their hearts.
"This betrothal gift is really good. Uncle Li is also blessed to have a good granddaughter like her." When Zeng Tieshou saw that everyone saw what was inside, he quickly walked up and closed the lid of the box, "Today we have gained a lot of knowledge. Thank you, boss, for allowing us to broaden our horizons."
He then congratulated Liu Zhimo and retreated to the side.
Li Laifu and Mrs. Liu was very unhappy, both of them were complaining about the matter of t.i.tan Zeng.
If it weren"t for him, how would the villagers be able to see the betrothal gift inside?
If the betrothal gift was announced to everyone, their plan wouldn"t be that easy to implement.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Liu Zhimo smiled.
If the Old Li family wanted to obtain his betrothal gift, it would have to depend on whether he was willing to or not.
He didn"t believe that with so many people seeing the betrothal gift, they would still dare to make a move.
If they dare to attack him, don"t blame him for being merciless.
It was not that he cared too much about these things, but he had the same intentions as Li Qingling, and did not want the Old Lee to get it.
"You"re welcome." Li Qingling said as he turned his head to look at Old Li, "Grandfather, the betrothal gift and the betrothal gift list, I"ll leave it with you!" With two betrothal presents, she wasn"t afraid that any mistakes would occur during the betrothal gift. "The dowry or something, I can prepare them myself, so I won"t trouble you, grandpa."
She had originally wanted to trick Old Li and the others, but after thinking about it later, she decided to let it go. Even if Old Li and the others prepared a dowry for her, it wouldn"t be that good.
It would be better to let her prepare it herself!
"Then... How could that work? Your parents are gone, so we should be the ones preparing your betrothal gift. " With so many people present, Old Li would not casually agree to Li Qingling"s words.
If he did not decline, the villagers would all have to kill him behind his back.
Li Qingling glanced at Old Li and immediately saw through his thoughts. She coldly snorted in his heart, and said some good words to persuade him.
Li Laifu who was standing at the side looked at Li Qingling, then looked at Old Li, rolled his eyes, and spoke out, "Nephew Daughter, the dowry matter should be handled by an adult, how can a little girl like you be the one to handle it? "Why don"t you just give us the silver and we"ll help you settle it. We guarantee that it will be done properly and tidily."
If he wanted to do something about the betrothal gift, it would be easy for others to find out. If he wanted to take the money from Li Qingling"s hands to help her fix his dowry, it would be much easier for him to get some money.
No matter who he trusted, he couldn"t trust Li Laifu.
He had a lot of bad water in his stomach!
Li Qingling"s expression did not change, but still raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you uncle for your good intentions, but I won"t trouble you with the dowry matter, I"m more or less done preparing it."
She was not a brainless person, once the silver was in Li Laifu and the others" pockets, it would be hard to take it back.
Furthermore, her situation with Liu Zhimo was special, she did not need to prepare as much as the other girls, she could just prepare a few.
She didn"t care what people were saying behind her back. She couldn"t hear them anyway, so she didn"t need to care about them.
Seeing how unmoved Li Qingling was, Li Laifu felt a bit of hatred in his heart. This d.a.m.ned girl, he was simply too shrewd, wanting to take out some silver from her pocket, so that he could ascend the sky in sadness.
"It"s good that you"re ready." He forced a smile and turned around to ask the villagers to help him carry the betrothal gift into his house.
Since he could not get any silver from Li Qingling, he could only start with the betrothal gift.
No one could blame it on him, he could only blame Li Qingling for being too stingy.
After the villagers helped in carrying the betrothal gift in, they made a scene in Old Lee for a while before leaving one by one.
Li Qingling did not stay in Old Lee for long. He spoke a few words to Old Li and followed him back.
"I see that Uncle Uncle is proposing a betrothal gift and a dowry." When Li Qingling returned home, he told Liu Zhimo, "If it was a normal situation, then it would be fine, but that was your betrothal gift to me, I had no choice but to take it seriously."
Hearing this, Liu Zhimo was quite happy in his heart. Li Qingling cared about him, that"s why he cared about his things.
He reached out to stroke her head and comforted her, "This is what I told the Uncle Zeng, let him pay more attention to that side. If there"s anything else, come and tell us." He did not want his betrothal gift to be spoiled by Li Laifu and the others.
Li Qingling acknowledged him, and shot him a glance, "When did you prepare all these betrothal gifts? How come I didn"t know about them?" This little man had hidden this matter rather well, she didn"t notice at all.
If she knew, she wouldn"t let him carry so many betrothal gifts.
She really didn"t care much about formal things, as long as he was nice to her.
If he didn"t treat her well after their marriage, what would happen if he gave her more betrothal gifts?
Liu Zhimo stood in front of Li Qingling, held her hand and laughed, "From the moment I had the thought of marrying you, I had been preparing secretly." He would make preparations one day, one day, until she agreed to marry him.
Glancing at him from the corner of his eyes, Li Qingling raised his brows and asked, he was already prepared this early, is he not afraid that she will not agree to marry him?
If she didn"t agree, wouldn"t the things he prepared for her so early in the wedding ceremony be in vain?
"No, I will convince you." He smiled confidently. He knew that she was a soft-hearted person, and that as long as he pretended to be pitiful in front of her and said a few words, she would definitely agree.
The corner of Li Qingling"s mouth twitched. She felt that she had jumped into a hole that he had dug a long time ago.
"You"re quite confident. If I don"t agree, what will happen to you?"
"You will."
"..." Seeing how certain and confident he was, should she give him a blow?
Li Qingling scoffed at him, and directly spoke to him in a frank tone, she did not plan to prepare too much dowry, it was enough.
Being a kiss was so troublesome and exhausting, she still felt that it was better to be simple.
Liu Zhimo understood that she wasn"t the type to find trouble with others, so he nodded with a smile.
Seeing him being so reasonable, Li Qingling also laughed.
"Actually, it doesn"t make much of a difference whether we get married or not. We live together."
How can there be no difference? If they weren"t married, he wouldn"t be able to sleep with her, much less have children with her.
Of course, he only thought about this in his heart and didn"t say it out loud.
He pinched her slightly fleshy hand and nodded, agreeing with her words on the surface.
Seeing that he agreed, Li Qingling continued to talk about other things.
Whatever she said, he smiled and nodded.
"Are you listening to me at all?"
"Yes, I agree, right?"
She only smiled and nodded in response to his every word, suspecting that he was not seriously listening to her.
Just as she was about to speak up, Li Qingning"s screams came from outside.
The two of them were shocked when they heard this. Then, they stood up abruptly and ran out.
