"Brother Youcai, in my opinion, these two young men have really hit it off.

I am very satisfied with your Xiangzhi. She is a good child at first glance.

If your family has no objection, let's talk about the gift first."

Hearing that Boss Li was satisfied with his daughter, Ma Youcai and his wife were delighted.

The Li family is not the most wealthy in Pinglin County, but they are well-off. They have accumulated wealth over decades and own two very profitable shops. If a daughter marries into the Li family, she won't have to worry about living a hard life, but will be able to enjoy a good life right from the moment she gets married.

Moreover, Boss Li's wife died a few years ago. He did not remarry for the sake of his son, so he does not have to worry about the bad relationship between his daughter-in-law and the husband after she marries him.

The most important thing is that in the future, Boss Li’s business and these two shops will belong to his daughter, and they will be able to enjoy the benefits too.

Ma Youcai and his wife looked at each other and thought that this marriage with the Li family was very good and must be settled as soon as possible.

"Oh, Brother Li, you know that my husband and I are not the kind of people who are greedy for money. We only have this one daughter in our family, and we sincerely hope that she can find an honest and reliable young man and live a good life.

But you also know that marrying a man provides food and clothing, and this betrothal gift can be regarded as a guarantee for our daughter. No matter how much our family wants now, when we die in the future, all this money will belong to them."

Boss Li had been in business for many years, so he naturally understood that Liao was just speaking for show.

He just smiled and nodded, waiting for Liao's next words.

Sure enough, Liao said a few more words and then changed the subject to the main topic.

"Boss Li, no, now we should call each other in-laws.

My dear relatives, we have spent a lot of effort in training a daughter. Our daughter was trained according to the rules of a lady from a wealthy family. She is worthy of being a mistress of a family. She can help her husband to manage the house and the household, and she can help her husband to manage the accounts and affairs. Ordinary people are not worthy of my daughter's eyes.

But now that the two children are in love, we as parents can’t separate them, right? Don’t you think this makes sense?

As for the betrothal money—we don’t ask for much—”

Liao and Ma Youcai looked at each other again, and finally, Liao stretched out his hand and showed five fingers.

"Fifty taels?"

Boss Li was very surprised.

The betrothal money for a girl from an ordinary family in the county town is usually thirty to fifty taels of silver.

It seems that the couple doesn't ask for much, and it's not an exorbitant amount.

But Liao shook her head, with a forced smile.

"Boss Li, I didn't say fifty taels, I said five hundred taels."

"what?"

Boss Li was shocked. Five hundred taels of silver? This is robbery!

With such a large dowry, it would be enough to marry a daughter of a wealthy family in the county town or a concubine of an official. Why would one go to the countryside to marry a poor village woman?

Boss Li thought to himself, although Ma Youcai's business in the south was booming before, his family has fallen on hard times now. I guess the total money of his family is less than 500 taels, right?

It seems that this couple wants to get rich by themselves!

"Dad, I just love Miss Ma——"

Boss Li's son saw that his father looked unhappy and spoke without giving in.

Alas, Boss Li sighed, it was his son who chose it.

Boss Li was just about to bargain when he heard the middle-aged man who was sitting at the next table walking towards him angrily.

"Ma Youcai! What are you doing?"

Tian Danian slammed the table hard, and a breath of foul air blocked his chest.

Ma Youcai, who was called by name, was also shocked. He raised his head and glanced at the man at the table.

Eh? This guy is big and strong, why does he look familiar?

what--

this is not--

this is not--

Ma Youcai's lips trembled, and he pointed at Tian Danian in surprise, unable to speak.

Liao had no impression of Tian Danian. She had only met Tian Danian once when she was young. After so many years, both of them had changed, so it was normal that she could not recognize him.

Just like last time, when Liao came back from the county town, the two of them took the same car, but Liao didn't recognize Tian Danian.

She was very angry at the moment, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, what kind of people are there in this county town! How can I not tell the difference between them?

Didn't you see that the two families were looking at each other? This person should not ruin his daughter's happiness.

"Who are you? Why do you always ruin other people's happiness? Boy, take this guy away!"

Liao glared at her husband fiercely. She thought these were some bad friends her husband made outside.

At this moment, Ma Youcai's heart was beating so fast that he couldn't even notice the look in his wife's eyes.

"Wife, he, he, he is——"

"Even if he is the king of the world, he can't disturb our daughter's wedding. Please forgive me, Boss Li. I don't know who our boss has met outside. I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble."

Ma Youcai took a long breath and said, "He is Tian Danian!"

Liao, who was still apologizing to Boss Li, was also stunned. She looked at Tian Danian in shock, "Tian Danian?"

Finished!

It’s really over!

I took my daughter to see a girl, and was unexpectedly seen by Tian Danian!

Liao felt as if he was struck by lightning!

What should we do?

Her mind was racing, and she was afraid that Tian Danian would say something nonsense in front of Boss Li and ruin her daughter's good fortune.

"Oh! It's the Tian brothers! I really didn't realize it. Boss Li, this is our boss's good brother. Boss, why don't you take the Tian brothers out for a walk? You two brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so you can talk about your true feelings."

Liao kept winking at Ma Youcai, and fortunately Ma Youcai understood. He walked around the table and went to pull Tian Danian.

But Tian Danian was not someone Ma Youcai could pull away. He glared at Ma Youcai and said, "Brother Ma, what are you doing? Are you showing off your Xiangzhi?"

Boss Li was startled by Tian Danian's slap just now, but he has recovered now. Seeing such a person appearing out of nowhere and delaying the meeting between the two families, a frost appeared on his face.

He waved to his waiter and said in a deep voice, "Send this brother out. We won't accept any more customers today. I'm sorry."

Tian Danian ignored Boss Li and simply grabbed Ma Youcai by the back of his collar and carried him far away.

Even though Ma Youcai was a little fat and heavy, Tian Danian was holding him by the collar at the moment, as if he was holding a chick, which showed that Tian Danian was using a lot of strength.

Tian Danian felt that there was no need to confront Boss Li, but as for Ma Youcai, Tian Danian didn't want to let him go.
