The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show
Chapter 177 Dowry
Thanks to Yan Jie, Jiang Hexi once again received preferential treatment from Ms. Zhou.
In addition to daily shopping for beauty and skin care, she was also taken to a jewelry store to buy jewelry crazily.
At first, Ms. Zhou just picked out some gold earrings and gold necklaces for Jiang Hexi to try on.
Later, it gradually evolved into gold crowns, gold bracelets and gold ruyi, and the weight of pure gold became heavier and heavier.
Finally, fourteen large gold bracelets were strung together on a red rope and hung around Jiang Hexi's neck. Only then did she realize something was wrong.
"Mom, why did you buy so much gold jewelry?"
"Don't ask. Just wear it if you're told to."
Ms. Zhou didn't want to explain too much to her. She picked and chose, and put a heavy gold bracelet as big as a bowl on her wrist. She was very satisfied with it:
"This is good. The Golden Phoenix brings good fortune. It looks noble at first glance."
"Mom, are you preparing a betrothal gift for my eldest brother?"
Jiang Hexi looked at her helplessly and said, "That's too much. These gold jewellery together weigh at least five kilograms. Aren't you afraid that it will crush Sister Si's neck?"
"This is the dowry prepared for you."
Ms. Zhou said angrily, "How much gold is this? I haven't even put the little gold bracelet around your neck yet, and you can't hold it anymore?"
Jiang Hexi got anxious on the spot, "Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married."
"You can't be so selfish."
Ms. Zhou picked at the gold lock in her hand and said, "You are only in your early twenties, of course you are not in a hurry, but Xiaoyan will be thirty soon, and he is the eldest grandson in the family. The elders are always urging him, how can he not be anxious?"
She gave advice as a person who had experienced it:
"Ah Xi, Mom is not saying that I will marry you off right away. It's okay to wait a year or two, but the gold jewelry should be prepared in advance. The style and texture of the gold are very particular. It must be a custom-made dowry that is meticulously crafted to show the Jiang family's confidence."
Jiang Hexi didn't dare to protest openly. She thought for a moment and said:
"Mom, is our family going bankrupt?"
"What bankruptcy?"
"Why else are you in such a hurry to marry me off?"
After Jiang Hexi had cornered Ms. Zhou and left her speechless, she took off the gold bracelet from her neck and said with relief:
"Mom, if the family is really broke, you should stop pretending to be rich. Don't buy a gold bracelet like this if you can avoid it. I will only look but not buy when I go shopping in the future, and try my best to save money for the family."
"Put the gold bracelet back on me!"
As soon as Ms. Zhou got angry, Jiang Hexi immediately became obedient and put the long gold bracelet around her neck.
"Xiao Yan has come to my house to talk about the engagement, and you are still here making jokes with me."
She criticized Jiang Hexi from head to toe:
"Do you know that you are a money-eater? Your father and I have spent a lot of money on you since you were a child. If you really care about your family, then you should get married early, which can also save money for the family."
"Mom, you're being disrespectful."
Jiang Hexi argued quietly, "It's not right to pass the blame on to someone else when you can't handle the trouble in your own family."
Ms. Zhou was so angry that she laughed, "So this is a rare opportunity. I should hurry up and marry you off while there are still people who want you."
Seeing that a head-on confrontation wouldn't work, Jiang Hexi immediately gave in:
"Mom, without me, who will accompany you shopping, who will accompany you to the beauty salon for skin care?"
"When Si Xiao gets married and you're gone, I'll train a new shopping partner."
Jiang Hexi couldn't argue with her, so he shut up tactfully.
Seeing that Ms. Zhou was determined to prepare a dowry for her, and thinking that she would have to try on those big gold bracelets in the future, she suddenly wanted to go to the countryside to farm.
Smiling: [Director, when will our farming variety show start recording? Why haven’t you sent me a message? ]
Smiling: [Are you a forgetful person and have forgotten me? ]
Smiling: [Director, the corn in the field is still waiting for fertilizer, don’t delay the recording if you can, this is urgent! ]
An unknown director Chen: [Chen Lang is taking a shower, stop talking nonsense and tell me the truth, why did you rush to record the show? ]
Smiling: [Gossip sister, no, director’s wife, please look at the photo below. ]
Jiang Hexi uploaded a selfie of himself wearing a gold crown earrings, a necklace and fourteen gold bracelets in order to win her sympathy.
An unknown director Chen: [Hahahahaha, if you die of laughter, I won’t pay you back! ]
An unknown director Chen: [Who is so rich that he would buy you so many gold jewellery? ]
An unknown director Chen: [Your makeup is just short of having money written all over your face. ]
Smiling: [My mother, this is the dowry she prepared for me.]
Smiling: [I really can't stay in this house any longer, gossip sister, please ask Director Chen to record the variety show as soon as possible! ]
An unknown director Chen: [Okay, I'll take care of it.]
Smiling: [(*︾▽︾)~~Thank you, gossip sister. 】
Chai Fei put down his phone and saw Chen Lang coming out of the bathroom, his washed hair still dripping with water.
She took the towel and took the initiative to wipe his hair.
"Have you seen the list of guest stars selected through online voting?"
"Looked."
"I'm ranked first on the list. According to the program's rules, I must return this time."
Chen Lang said without thinking: "No."
Chai Fei stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why not?"
Chen Lang looked up at her through the towel on his head and said, "You are my wife."
"Does the production team have a rule that married people cannot participate in farming variety shows?"
"No, but the director's wife has to take the initiative to avoid suspicion."
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know that I'm your relative?"
“The director knows.”
Chai Fei didn't have time to talk to him endlessly. She threw away the towel in her hand and said:
"Give me a definite answer. Can I participate in the next recording of the farming variety show?"
"Yes, but you have to visit the production crew in the countryside as a family member."
Chai Fei knew that he was a man of strong principles.
Seeing that his attitude was so tough and there was no room for maneuver, she stopped forcing him and instead made another request:
"When will the next show start recording?"
"Next Mon."
"Why are you putting it off until next week? Can't you do it this Friday?"
Chen Lang looked at her inexplicably, not knowing what she was trying to say. "I've been away in the countryside for more than half a month. I want to stay at home with you for a while longer this time."
"Didn't you arrange for me to visit the studio in the countryside?"
Chai Fei said unhappily, "Since we have that much time, why are you still staying at home? Let's schedule it for this Friday. I will go with you to the countryside to record the variety show. It can be considered as visiting you on set in advance."
Chen Lang felt that she had ulterior motives, but her words sounded reasonable, and he could not find any reason to reject her:
"Then do as you say."
