Chapter 120: Betrothal Gift

“Mom, I prepared these beforehand. Take them and give them away. We can only be considered as half hosts. After all, we are still guests so we can’t appear too shabby.”

“Yes, you’re right.” Chen Li took them and the way she looked at her daughter changed. Her daughter had really grown up. Moreover, her personality was not as weak as hers. Now that she had become more and more thoughtful and considerate, she would definitely have a bright future ahead.

A gratified expression appeared on Chen Li’s face.

Looking at the time, they were about to reach. Yun Xi pulled her mother as they rushed to Chen Li’s biological father, Chen Sheng’s house.

An ox-cart stopped by the roadside. The three of them walked a few steps and arrived at Chen Sheng’s house. When Chen Sheng’s wife saw that a guest had arrived, she warmly welcomed him.

“Li Li, you’re back. We haven’t seen each other for so many years. We’ve all changed!”

Chen Li looked at the widow, Liu Wei, who had snatched her father away. She was very shocked. This person was completely different from the one in her memory. Chen Li thought about Liu Wei from her childhood days, who was always wearing the most fashionable hair accessories. Every frown and smile was flirtatious.

Time really made one feel old. Now, Liu Wei’s hair had begun to turn gray, and wrinkles had covered the corners of her eyes. She could no longer see the flirtatious look of the past.

However, what moved Yun Xi the most was that she caught a glimpse of her mother once being a little girl. When she heard this woman who she had never seen before called Chen Li “Li Li,” Yun Xi was momentarily dazed.

It turned out that the reason behind her mother’s happy expression along the way. This trip back home would allow her to find her own youth and those carefree days.

“Who are these two?” Liu Wei looked at the two people behind Chen Li and asked.

“Oh, they are my children Yun Xi and Yun Yang. I brought them out this time to widen their horizons. These children haven’t been to many places before,” Chen Li explained.

“I see! Please come in, please come in.” Liu Wei quickly called Yun Xi and Yun Yang into the house.

After entering the house, they saw that it was clean and tidy. Although it could not be compared to a luxurious furniture store, it could still be considered a very good home environment. Yun Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. This Chen Sheng’s family’s conditions seemed to be pretty good.

“When will Chen Xin’s fiancée come over?” Chen Li did not hesitate. She went straight to the point and started talking about the engagement with Liu Wei.

“That lady will come over in a few days. Our family has been discussing the betrothal gifts for Chen Xin and his fiancee in the past few days.”

When Yun Yang saw that there was actually a swing in the house, he told Yun Xi and ran into the courtyard to play on the swing. He did not want to pay attention to the adults’ matters.

Yun Xi obediently sat behind Chen Li the entire time and listened to their conversation.

Liu Wei implied that Chen Xin’s fiancee had a very good family background. Although her father was only a farmer, their family had a lot of land. Better still, every piece of land was fertile.

Chen Xin’s fiancee was the only daughter in the family. In the future, the income from the family’s grain fields would all belong to the girl. Therefore, the girl’s family was very strict with the betrothal gifts.

The girl’s father wanted to give his daughter a guarantee. After all, he only had one daughter. This high price was understandable as the dowry from their side was very generous.

Liu Wei did not want to give up on a daughter-in-law with such a generous dowry, but their family conditions were really limited. Originally, their family was doing relatively well. A few years ago, Chen Xin committed a crime outside and was almost sent to jail. In order to prevent their son from going to prison, the family spent a lot of money and connections to finally settle the matter.

Although this matter had been settled, the family’s savings were also almost depleted. Now, it was obvious that they could not meet the conditions of the girl’s family.
