Chapter 237: The Numbers of the Betrothal Gift

"Yes, dad, don't worry about me. Sister can find her brother-in-law, which is the blessing of eight years of cultivation. I'm okay, and sister has a good life." Li Hui said quickly.

After going back and forth, I hurriedly picked up the wine glass: "Uncle, I will be good to Meifeng. She also has her own career now, which is very good."

"Yes, yes, yes, brother-in-law, you opened a women's clothing store for my sister, and cress also works there." Li Hui said hurriedly.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Brother-in-law, can I go too, I can also sell clothes." He Lanfang said hurriedly.

"Aren't you bringing a child? I was going to cook for Meifeng and Cress. They also said that they don't need to cook." Cress's mother suddenly opened the conversation box.

"Auntie, we really don't need this, and the store has enough staff." I smiled bitterly.

"Yes, aunt, in that small shop, Cress knows the situation best." Li Meifeng also said.

"Mom, don't mess up. My dad is not in good health. You have to take care of him and join in the fun." Cress said hurriedly.

This topic is over, and no one will mention it later. After this meal, the Cress family said hello and left, except for Li Meifeng's family.

After dinner, Li Meifeng and He Lanfang helped Li Meifeng’s mother clean up, but Li Meifeng’s father was a little silent, but Li Hui sent me a cigarette, and talked about it when I went around the village.

When I walked out of the house, Li Hui helped me light a cigarette. He couldn't even refuse. He was extremely polite.

"Xiaohui, do you still have night shifts?" I asked.

"Well, it's hard to find a job. I wanted to work in a big city a long time ago, but renting a house outside is also expensive, and then it costs too much to drag the house with one's mouth, so I work in a mold factory in the county, basically working every day. , Three shifts and overtime work." Li Hui smiled bitterly.

"How much is the salary?" I continued to ask.

"In the early 2000s, this is already included in the overtime pay." Li Hui responded and continued: "Brother-in-law, don't think my house is a two-story building. It's all red brick walls. No money, when I married Lanfang, my family’s betrothal gifts were all emptied, and the money saved in the past few years is to build this small building."

"Come slowly, I came here too, you are still young." I comforted.

"Brother-in-law, our county house with two bedrooms and one living room is actually not expensive. You can get a set of 400,000 yuan." Li Hui turned around.

A house of 400,000 sounds really not expensive, but now that Li Hui said so, it is estimated that it is for me to help. Whether it is loaned or given, it is all money. Li Meifeng and I are not married yet. Now I say this. It's a little far away.

Of course, if the family is in harmony and it's okay to borrow some money, I'm afraid that when I meet Voldemort White-eyed Wolf, Li Hui will be the same as Zhang Jun and Wang Xia.

"Brother-in-law, are you considering buying a house? I heard Cress say that you are renting a house for the time being. The house was awarded to you when you divorced. Did you sell that house, right?" Li Hui saw that I didn't reply. Talking about me.

"Buying is definitely to buy, but now the house bubble is too big, I am afraid that the house will fall again after buying it, it will not be worthwhile, so I plan to wait and see." I frankly said.

"Yes, the price of a house a year is really unpredictable. We could buy a two-bedroom apartment for 200,000 yuan, but now it costs 400,000 yuan, which is 5,000 or 6,000 yuan per square meter." Li Hui nodded.

When I was walking around the village with Li Hui, I met some villagers from time to time. Li Hui was very familiar with him. Whenever he met people, he introduced me as his brother-in-law. He came back from the big city and said that I came by car and had time to sit and sit. Nodding to agree is a preliminary understanding.

After shopping around and returning home, Li Meifeng and the others are almost ready.

On the two floors, there is a living room for eating, the other is the kitchen, and there is also a wood room next to it for farming tools and firewood. As for the second floor, if I guess correctly, it is Li Meifeng’s parents, and then Li Hui and his wife. Two in one.

"Mom, Brother Chen and I should go back to our neighboring village to sleep." Li Meifeng said hurriedly.

"Sister, brother-in-law is rare to come here. We move out of our house and you sleep. Lan Fang and I lay on the floor and sleep in the living room downstairs." Li Hui said hurriedly.

"How can this work, there are mice on the ground, I don't want it!" He Lanfang pouted.

"What are you talking about!" Li Hui winked quickly.

"In this way, I will hit the floor with my child's father, and Meifeng, you and Xiao Chen will live in our room." Li Meifeng and her mother said hurriedly.

"It's okay. Brother Chen and I will sleep in the neighboring village. Don't I have a family. We will come again tomorrow." Li Meifeng smiled.

Li Meifeng's mother nodded when she heard Li Meifeng's words. As for Li Hui, he smiled awkwardly, and then seemed to think of something: "Sister, you come to eat early tomorrow morning."

"Got it!" Li Meifeng agreed.

After discussing here, we bid farewell to Li Hui.

After starting the car, I hurried towards Li Meifeng's house.

"Brother Chen, did my brother tell you something?" Li Meifeng asked.

"He wants to buy a house." I said.

Hearing this, Li Meifeng smiled awkwardly, and she looked at me a little apologetically: "Brother Chen, if we get married, my mother meant that the best gift is 580,000, and fifty-eight is better. In fact, the bride price is to buy a house for my brother. The remaining 180,000 yuan should be renovated, and then my parents’ house will be renovated."

"What do you think?" I looked at Li Meifeng.

"I think that 580,000 yuan, we can definitely earn it back after opening a store for a few years, and we will give it away. After all, after marrying a daughter, I will rarely go home in the future." Li Meifeng explained.

"Five hundred and eighty thousand is not much, when we get married, I will give it!" I nodded and agreed.

"Really Brother Chen?" Li Meifeng was overjoyed.

"Of course it's true. It's not easy for your parents, and then there are younger brothers. This gift money can't be vague. Since you have all set it, then that's it." I affirmed.

Five hundred and eighty thousand yuan is equivalent to entrusting my daughter to me. Li Meifeng and I are both in Binjiang, and we rarely come back. This day, the emperor can’t take care of it. I think it’s reasonable. Of course, for ordinary people, maybe this It's not a small sum, but for me, it is still affordable.

As long as I and Li Meifeng are happy together, what is the point of spending it out?

"Yeah, it's just that I am still a little worried." Li Meifeng nodded, and then became worried.

"What are you worried about?" I frowned.

"I'm afraid I can't bear children, Chen Brother, you will not want me." Li Meifeng said.

"Don't worry about it, you will know everything if you check it then." I comforted.
