Chapter 215 Engagement
Engagement day~
Early in the morning, the sounds of firecrackers, gongs and drums rang out again, and this time the team was even bigger than last time.
At the same time, the old Cheng family, Cheng Laji's family also got up early to welcome the people who brought gifts.
Because it was morning and there were no other hawking sounds, the sound of gongs and drums was particularly clear. They could hear the sound from far away.
The whole family, including the husbands and sons, greeted them at the door. This was all requested by the husband.
He just wanted this person to be jealous, jealous that his son had found a good family and make them envious.
The other husbands and children all knew what he was thinking, but they didn't care. After all, if someone in their family married well, they and their children would also benefit from it.
So when the doctor asked them to come out, their first reaction was that if the other party took a fancy to their children, that would be a good opportunity.
People here waited and waited until the gongs and drums died down, but there was still no sign of him. The relatives at home were also getting impatient.
They all grumbled about what was going on. Cheng Laji couldn't afford to lose face, so he appeased his relatives and quickly asked his servants to find out the news.
Doctor Lang was still laughing at this moment and said:
"Maybe the gift giver went in the wrong direction. Aunts, please wait a little longer."
Hearing this, they were angry but didn't know what to say, so they had to continue waiting. Fortunately, there was plenty of tea and snacks to entertain them, so they didn't have to wait in vain.
The servants here were in a hurry, running towards the noise, and when they arrived, they just saw the gift-giving team walking in another direction.
The servant heaved a sigh of relief and was about to go back to report, but suddenly he became nervous again when he heard what the onlookers said.
He quickly grabbed an old lady and asked, "Auntie, whose engagement did you just say?"
"Oh! You don't know? It seems to be the Ji family. Good fellow! He is really generous.
Just to marry the son of a merchant, 38 dan of betrothal gifts, dan of fine goods, you didn’t even hear them count just now, what a pity, last time…”
The old lady showed an envious expression as she spoke.
The more the Cheng manor servant listened, the paler his face became. Then he asked without giving up;
"You just mentioned the merchant, what's his last name? And why did they pick out the betrothal gifts after reporting the number?"
"You said this!"
The old lady said with an envious look again;
"The betrothed's surname is Cheng. As for why she is picking out betrothal gifts, it's because Lady Ji is also betrothed to Prime Minister Qian's son.
So she paid the betrothal gift and rushed to the Prime Minister's house without stopping!"
The old lady finished speaking and muttered to herself again;
"Hey! I really envy every rich person equally! There are so many rich people, why can't there be one more like me?"
After hearing this, the servants of the Cheng family not only turned pale, but their scalps also went numb. What was this master doing...
Oh! Never mind, let’s go back and report first!
Just when the relatives of the Cheng family were grumbling about why the guests hadn't arrived yet, Cheng Dongli sent someone to invite them to have a drink. Upon hearing this, the relatives, who had been waiting impatiently,
They all wanted to go to the restaurant arranged by Cheng Dongli. Cheng Laji could not keep them no matter how hard he tried. He even threatened that
If any of the relatives dare to leave, once her son marries a good family, no one else will be allowed to have anything to do with her.
Some people were frightened, thinking that no matter how bad Cheng Laji was, she was still the head of the family, and Cheng Dongli was still her child.
Even broken bones can still keep tendons connected! Maybe the mother and daughter are just having a conflict, maybe they will reconcile after some time?
Seeing this, some of the closer relatives, such as aunts, uncles, and other gossipy relatives, chose to stay.
Only some relatives went to Cheng Dongli, but that was enough. Cheng Dongli didn't invite them sincerely anyway. She just wanted to disgust the people in the old house.
Seeing that many people had left and the servant who had gone to get information had not returned, Cheng Laji was so angry that he started to curse and even asked someone to send a message to Cheng Dongli.
She wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her and never have any contact with her again.
After hearing what Cheng Laji said, the relatives who were still staying in the Cheng family found excuses to leave the Cheng family and go to Cheng Dongli.
What a joke, what's wrong with being a sister? Mother and father are not as dear as money.
Everyone complained about Cheng Laji, saying that this man really had no self-awareness at all. If it weren't for Li Jie'er's help over the years, could they have lived a good life?
They'd better not associate with such confused people who can't make money and only know how to play. Sooner or later, they will regret it.
In a flash, all the guests at the tables disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the person who was gathering information came back. When she told Cheng Laji what she knew, not only she, but also Doctor Lang and Cheng Jin were all stunned and at a loss...
Seeing this, several husbands hurriedly took their children and slipped back to their own yards while the women were still distracted.
Cheng Jin sat aside like a madman. He refused to believe that the person she liked was that bastard Cheng Shenshen. How could it be possible?
Why should he? He is a bastard without a father and unloved by his mother. He can only eat what his mother left and wear what his mother didn't want.
She is clearly nothing, so why can he marry someone better than him?
Why? He was unwilling, he was unwilling...
At this time, Cheng Ruxue came out after hearing the noise and said in a cold voice;
"What's going on? Didn't they say that the engaged relatives would come today? Why haven't they come yet?"
Doctor Lang came back to his senses at this time, ignoring Cheng Ruxue, and looked at Cheng Laji and said;
"My dear wife, do you still remember what the matchmaker said when he came to propose marriage that day?"
Hearing this, Cheng Laji also recalled what Cheng Dongli said when she returned home that day. It turned out that she did it on purpose to embarrass him.
This rebellious girl was here to embarrass her. If she didn't come back, nothing would have happened. But once she came back, she brought shame upon her.
Seeing that no one answered her question, Cheng Ruxue looked at the servant and asked impatiently, "What's going on?"
Hearing this, the servant tremblingly recounted the information she had found out.
Before Cheng Ruxue could say anything, Doctor Lang started to speak frantically:
"Oh my God! What kind of sin is this? I raised two ungrateful children and they cheated my family out of money.
Not only did they kidnap the siblings at home, but they also teamed up with outsiders to embarrass the family. They really have such cruel hearts!
Oh my God! Why don’t you take these two siblings away as well? "
The servants secretly left as soon as the doctor started to go crazy. As servants, it is better for them to know less about the embarrassing things of the master's family.
Cheng Ruxue ignored her father's words, looked at Cheng Laji and asked;
"Mom, what are you going to do about this?"
Sometimes when people are extremely angry and feel powerless, they will think calmly. Cheng Laji thought of the big gift Cheng Dongli gave her.
If she doesn't reply, wouldn't she forget who her mother is?
Hearing Cheng Ruxue's question, she snorted coldly;
"Humph! As a mother, I don't agree with my son's engagement. Do you think they can go through with it?"
Hearing this, Cheng Ruxue's eyes lit up; "What does mother mean?"
