Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 451 Old Yi in Action

Xu Damao curled his lips. Although he was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything.

What they said is true. Everyone would laugh at a wedding with a scandal. The bride's family would probably not be able to hold their heads up high, and it would definitely become the topic of conversation and laughing stock in the streets.

Wang Dabao laughed and said, "Since everyone is willing to help, let's plan it out. Damao, what are the requirements from the woman's side?"

Xu Damao scratched his head: "The girl's family said that they want to have a lively wedding, and the betrothal gifts and other things cannot be less."

Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly: "It's natural. It's only natural for them to give a betrothal gift to a daughter of such age. We haven't had a wedding in our courtyard for several years. If we hold a grand wedding, it will not only bring honor to Damao, but also benefit everyone in the courtyard."

Liu Haizhong nodded and also expressed his opinion: "Old Yi is right. Let's all help out and let all the courtyards on this street see how grand it is to marry a daughter-in-law in the Red Star Courtyard."

"That's great. Maybe when I look for someone, once she hears about the Red Star Courtyard, she will rush to marry into it."

Liu Guangtian laughed beside him, "By the way, Damao, how much do you want as a gift from the bride?"

"Eighty yuan." Xu Damao curled his lips.

"How much more?" Yan Bugui was the first to stare. "Isn't this a bit too much? But who can blame me for having something in my stomach? Damao, you brought two at once."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Times are different now. It's not a lot. After all, it's to marry a wife. This money is not like buying vegetables and bargaining."

Wang Dabao had no say in this matter. He and Xiao Su had already set the wedding date and had not mentioned the issue of the bride price. It was only after Xu Damao mentioned it that he remembered it.

It seems that I should ask Xiao Su when I have time tomorrow. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever married a wife without giving a dowry. Whether the other person accepts it or not is one thing, and whether you give it or not is another.

As a result, Yan Bugui immediately set his sights on Wang Dabao.

"Dabao, how are the negotiations going over there? How much is the bride price?"

Wang Dabao shook his head: "The approximate month has been decided, but the gift has not been discussed. My wife may have forgotten about it. I will ask her about it tomorrow."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. How could the woman forget about the betrothal gift?!

Liu Guangtian came closer: "Uncle Dabao, I don't think they forgot, but my aunt didn't think about it. They don't lack money, and you don't lack money either. Maybe they will give you a lot of dowry."

"That's what I mean."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "I saw it last time. The bicycle was very new. It must have been newly bought for the convenience of visiting Dabao in our hospital."

The last time Yan Bugui saw Xiao Su's bicycle, he was so envious. It had been his wish for many years to own a bicycle, but he had no choice but to buy one because he had a family to support.

Liu Haizhong also felt that it was time to flatter: "The last time Dabao's wife came to our courtyard, I saw that the clothes she was wearing were worth fifty or sixty yuan, and at least the pair of leather shoes cost no less than twenty yuan."

Xu Damao was almost jealous to death. When he was dating someone, his girlfriend bought him this and that, and in the end he still had to pay eighty yuan for the bride price.

Look at Wang Dabao. His girlfriend gave him a lighter for a hundred or eighty yuan, and she also gave him a bicycle. In the end, he didn't even ask for a dowry. How can this be justified?

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away!

Xu Damao just didn't want to marry Qin Jingru, and it would be difficult for him to find a partner like Wang Dabao. He was aware of this.

When it was time for dinner, everyone dispersed.

When the group walked to the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai directly invited Wang Dabao to come over for a drink.

What this means is that Dabao is the only one at home, unlike Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, who have someone waiting for them at home.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao remained silent, knowing that Yi Zhonghai was trying to win over Wang Dabao. It seemed that the old man still had thoughts of "restoration".

"Next time, Lao Yi. We still have the leftovers from yesterday. I'll just have a quick meal and go to sleep."

Wang Dabao laughed and waved to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai did this deliberately in front of Liu and Xu in order to remind them not to take him too lightly.

It was really the attitude of the two people in the front yard just now that irritated Yi Zhonghai.

No matter what Yi Zhonghai is thinking, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao are not afraid now.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to be the boss, but the residents in the compound didn't agree.

Wang Dabao went straight into the space farm after returning home. After he got married, he had less and less time to come in.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, Aunt Yi had already prepared the meal.

A few days ago, Yi Zhonghai found the workshop leader and arranged for Aunt Yi's nephew to work in the factory. Although he was only a temporary worker, it was still a position that he had fought for.

Aunt Yi was very satisfied with this and she cooked different kinds of meals for Yi Zhonghai over the past two days.

"What's wrong? Why don't you look happy today?"

"Well, there's nothing to be unhappy about. Damao is not allowed to get married. Just now, these people in the front yard damaged Zhuzi and said that he will never get married."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands, "Speaking of Zhuzi, I am both angry and distressed. This kid is heartless and believes everything he hears. He has fought with me several times, and I really can't do anything about him."

Aunt Yi nodded beside her: "You said that this child's father ran away with a widow when he was young, and it was not easy for him to carry Yu Shui by himself, but why doesn't he know how to be grateful? We have been good to him for so many years, why did he hit you again?"

"Maybe it's because I haven't gotten married and haven't grown up yet. I'm old enough and my brain hasn't caught up."

Yi Zhonghai poured himself a glass of wine, looked at Aunt Yi and said, "Qin Jingru is going to marry Xu Damao, and he is a little upset. How about this, you go to his house and call him over to eat."

Aunt Yi was a little hesitant: "Is it okay? Did you two talk?"

"It's not really talking. I'm the elder and he's so young, so I have to lower my head. Go ahead. It's his business whether he comes or not."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

With that, Aunt Yi walked out the door.

Sha Zhu said he was going home to cook, but he had no mood for that. His mind was full of Qin Jingru.

Even though I was saying that Qin Jingru was not good in this and that in the front yard, it was because I couldn't get her.

When he got home and lay on the bed, he felt that Qin Jingru was good in every way except that she had bad taste. Why did she fall for that idiot Xu Damao?

I'm so angry. I didn't expect that they were progressing so quickly and even got pregnant.

When Sha Zhu thought of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru rolling around in bed, he wanted to vomit blood.

Originally, the child in Qin Jingru's belly should have been his!

Shazhu banged the bed and cursed God for being blind. It would have been fine if Wang Dabao had found a good wife, because she was rich, beautiful and had status.

But what about Xu Damao? He's just a lousy projectionist, not even as good as the cook, and he looks really ugly.

Qin Jingru is really blind. She would rather marry such a good man than marry Xu Damao, that big donkey!
