Chapter 679 Engagement
After they left, Chu Honglin bravely joined the conversation between Chu Hongsen and Han Jingheng without being too embarrassed.
But Cao Sanmei and Bai Xiaoxue were deliberately ignored by Chu Zhenhua's second aunt Ge Yumei, so they sat on the cold bench and wanted to scratch the ground with their feet in embarrassment.
But at this time, if the two of them left, they would be even more indifferent and could only sit there and curse people in their hearts.
The Han family was cheerful, and Chu Hongsen and his wife were not stingy either. They said Chu Zhenhua and the others loved her as their own daughters. They did not mention the dowry that the old man had prepared for them before, and said directly: "We will definitely get a lot of the dowry you gave us." Let her take it back. In addition to my brother who will pay back an equal share of the dowry, I, the second uncle who treats Zhenhua as his own daughter, will also give an equal share of the dowry. I just hope that they will live a smooth life after they get married. "
As soon as he said this, Chu Honglin agreed on his face and blamed his second brother for not being able to say it in advance before making the decision without permission, but he didn't want to think about it. This matter was agreed upon when the old man was alive.
Chu Hongsen himself knew what kind of pisser his eldest brother was, so how could he give him a chance to refuse, so he immediately gave him no room to regret, saving him from pushing back and not fulfilling his original promise.
As for their own family, that was something their family had already discussed. Their second wife had no daughter. Zhenhua had been loved by others since she was a child. They had always treated Zhenhua as their own daughter, so naturally they couldn't be vague about the dowry.
Only Cao Sanmei and Bai Xiaoxue felt like they were on fire. If they gave Chu Zhenhua a dowry equal to the betrothal gift, they would have to empty out their families. How could this be possible?
But on this occasion, they, the stepmother and stepsisters, had no business to speak, so they could only act anxiously.
Cao Sanmei coughed lightly from time to time, wanting to remind Chu Honglin not to get too hot-headed and agree, but her throat was almost smoky from coughing, and she didn't hear Chu Honglin say no.
The matter was quickly settled, and the wedding date for the coming year was also set.
After the business was done, it was natural to talk about family matters. Cao Sanmei thought that she could join in now. For the sake of her daughter, she had to put on a smile and said: "My mother-in-law, Zhenhua's child is also lucky enough to find a good family like you."
As he said this, he pulled Bai Xiaoxue aside: "Our Xiaoxue is quite pretty and has reached the age where she is looking for a partner. See if you can introduce me to a promising young man. It just so happens that their sisters can be companions in the future."
As soon as this happened, not to mention the women's side, even the men's side stopped talking, and the situation was very embarrassing for a time.
The way Bai Xiaoxue looked at Han Chaoxu just now, how could anyone help her introduce him? This Bai Xiaoxue is a trap, Cao Sanmei really dared to say that.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she chuckled awkwardly and said, "I also want to find a good family for Xiaoxue. Being a mother doesn't mean I have endless worries."
But this was true, and it relieved her embarrassment.
The meal for the engagement was supposed to be eaten at home, but Chu Zhenhua has been rehearsing the Spring Festival condolences program these days and only took half a day off.
In addition, Han Zhaoxu didn't want her to be bothered, so he proposed to eat outside. Anyway, Chu Zhenhua's cooking skills had been demonstrated at the Han family before, so there was no need to show off her cooking skills today.
Just at this time, the two people who went out for a walk also came back. Han Zhaoxu came in and joked: "It's almost time, let's go over. We just went over to take a look, and the dishes are almost ready."
The group of people then got up and headed to the state-owned hotel.
