Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Chapter 438 Betrothal Gift

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes at the silly Zhu's look and spoke for him, "Uncle, don't worry, Zhu will definitely not treat Guihua badly. He will definitely prepare everything for the three turns. As for the betrothal gifts...just ask, Zhu will definitely not say no."

Sha Zhu finally understood what Guihua's father hadn't said. This was what he meant. He immediately said, "Yes, Dongfang said exactly what I wanted to say."

Guihua's father glanced at his wife, and Guihua's mother took over and said, "Zhu Zi, we are not asking for your money. If we marry our daughter now without a gift, our relatives and neighbors will laugh at us, don't you think?"

"Yeah." Sha Zhu nodded quickly.

Li Dongfang was speechless about this idiot and continued to speak for him: "Auntie, do you think 100 yuan is okay for the betrothal gift?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he looked a little embarrassed. It's not that he didn't have 100 yuan, but the key is that he still had to buy three turns and one ring, and the old furniture at home had to be replaced, and there were also beds, banquets, etc. He was afraid that the money he had would not be enough.

As soon as Li Dongfang saw Sha Zhu's face, he knew what he was thinking. He pulled him and winked at him, saying, "What's wrong? Do you think 100 yuan is too little?"

Sha Zhu understood what Li Dongfang meant, scratched his head and said, "100 yuan is indeed too little. If I didn't need to buy other things, I would definitely give more."

Li Dongfang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sha Zhu finally said something nice.

Guihua's mother looked at Li Dongfang, pulled her husband, and whispered something in his ear.

"Old man, 100 is not a small amount. We can ask for more, but if Deputy Director Li thinks we are the kind of people who are greedy, then we won't be able to ask for more in the future."

Guihua's father nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said to Shazhu: "Zhuzi, since you said this, I can see your sincerity. 100% is 100%, but as a brother-in-law, you should think about your brother-in-law's work when you have the chance."

He knew it was Li Dongfang who was being targeted. Li Dongfang didn't care, because there were plenty of workstations to be expanded this time. So he nodded and smiled at Sha Zhu who was looking over, "That's right, Zhuzi, you have to pay more attention to your work as your brother-in-law."

Shazhu was a little confused. I can't do this by myself. Are you, Li Dongfang, going to lend a hand?

However, Li Dongfang's next words made Sha Zhu feel relieved.

"Zhu Zi, why are you looking at me? I won't help you! But, if you marry Guihua, then Guihua will be my sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law says something, then things will be different." Sha Zhu reacted immediately this time. Li Dongfang's meaning was very clear. They could talk about other things after they got married. Otherwise, he would not take care of the matter.

The old couple also understood what Li Dongfang meant. Now that they were a family, they should help each other in any way they could. Before getting married, they should not think about anything else.

With the great god Li Dongfang in charge, Sha Zhu was not weak at all. Instead, he suppressed his father-in-law everywhere.

Basically, they gave nothing less than what they should have given, and nothing more than what they shouldn't have given.

However, Guihua's family are all smart people, and they certainly know what is more important. They would not make Li Dongfang unhappy for a little bit of profit. If they did that, even if they got their son a job, he probably wouldn't have a good life in the unit, which is far less than getting along well with Li Dongfang.

After figuring it out, Guihua's father immediately decided: "After you have bought all the things and renovated the house, you can come and propose marriage."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately laughed. However, when he thought about the difficulty of three turns and one ring, as well as the price, he looked at Li Dongfang with some embarrassment.

Li Dongfang glanced at him and indicated, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Sha Zhu understood what was meant and said to Guihua's parents: "Okay... Dad, Mom..."

Poof! Li Dongfang just took a sip of the wine and immediately sprayed it all over Sha Zhu.

"Cough, cough, sorry, I choked, cough, just go on and leave me alone."

Guihua was also very embarrassed. She stretched out her hand and twisted Shazhu's arm and said, "Why are you yelling? I have nothing to do with you now."

Li Dongfang took the tea handed over by Lin Shu, took a sip, slowed down, and looked at Sha Zhu with a little interest to see how he would respond.

"How does it matter? We're going to be husband and wife soon. Our parents have agreed." Sha Zhu rubbed his arms and grimaced in pain.

"Who wants to be a couple with you? And those are my parents, not yours!"

"Isn't this going to happen sooner or later? Aren't your parents my parents?"

"Not yet!"

"I shouted in advance to get used to it..."

Seeing the two flirting, Li Dongfang and Guihua's parents also smiled. The couple seemed to be in harmony.

After the meal, He Yushui handed the food prepared by Li Dongfang to Sha Zhu, asking him to take it to Guihua's parents. Sha Zhu didn't hesitate to give the food to the old couple and said, "Mom and Dad, you two take these back. If you run out of food, let Guihua tell me and I'll bring you more."

Guihua was helpless with Shazhu at this time. Once he made up his mind, he twisted like a cow and Guihua simply ignored what he shouted.

The old couple looked at Li Dongfang and said politely to Sha Zhu: "We don't want this. There is no problem with having enough food at home."

Sha Zhu didn't care about anything and stuffed the food into Guihua's hand and said, "Go home and make some for our parents. Don't be stingy. Our family doesn't lack this."

Of course Guihua knew where the things came from. She looked at Li Dongfang with some gratitude and nodded to express her thanks.

Li Dongfang also gave her a distant look in return.

Only Sha Zhu was still showing off in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Everyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on, but no one exposed it.

Guihua's father patted Shazhu's arm and said, "Just be nice to our Guihua."

After seeing off Guihua and her family, Shazhu personally made a cup of tea for Li Dongfang, handed it to him and said, "Dongfang, thank you!"

Li Dongfang took a sip and said, "That's it? This can't be exchanged for three turns and one ring of money or tickets."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "You know, I can't save money. I have to trouble you. How about I just lend it to you and pay it back slowly in the future?"

Li Dongfang didn't respond and just drank his tea leisurely. Sha Zhu didn't know what was going on and kept scratching his head anxiously.

Seeing that his silly brother was anxious, He Yushui also begged Li Dongfang: "Brother Dongfang, please help my brother. At worst, I can wait until later, wait until later... I... I will pay you back on my brother's behalf."

After saying this, He Yushui blushed and thought, if I can't pay it back, I can only sacrifice myself... Oh, how embarrassing! But it's a good idea!

Lin Shu saw it clearly from the side and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head secretly.
