Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife
Chapter 22: Three Carts of Dowry Shocked the Village
After leaving the guesthouse, they had breakfast first and then found a row of abandoned warehouses in a remote suburb.
After confirming that there was no problem, they went to a trucking company to rent three trucks, and agreed that one truck would go to the department store to pick up the goods in an hour, and the other two trucks would arrive at the warehouse to pick up the goods.
The two of them took advantage of the one-hour window to go to the department store and talk to the manager.
Then he returned to the warehouse, closed his eyes and thought silently, and in an instant the entire warehouse was filled with tables, chairs, benches, sofas and other items.
When Xu Huaian saw this situation, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked and opened his mouth wide.
The roar of the truck came on time.
The two drivers got out of the car. Even though they had been transporting things for many years, they were still shocked when they saw the warehouse full of furniture.
"Brother, sister, where did you get all the furniture? They look really nice," the driver chatted while helping to move things.
Xu Huaian said: "My partner and I are getting married soon, and these are her dowry."
"Marriage...contract?" The driver staggered.
Another driver exclaimed, "It's rare to see such a generous dowry nowadays. I'm sure you will have a prosperous life in the future."
Xu Huaian smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for your kind words."
After driving for most of the day, three trucks slowly drove into Xiangyang Village. The huge roar instantly attracted the attention of the children in the village.
They ran excitedly behind the car, chattering about what was on it.
When the adults heard the noise, they all came out of their homes to check. When they saw Xu Huaian getting off the truck, they were all surprised.
"Hey, isn't this Huai'an? What's going on?"
"I can't tell. I heard they're getting married, so this should be the betrothal gifts."
"This is truly incredible. There are so many good things, quilts, and so many patches that I could never use them all in my lifetime."
"And there's a sewing machine. What are those square and long boxes? Why have I never seen them before?"
"Three cartloads of betrothal gifts to marry a wife, is Zhang Lanxiang crazy?"
"Who knows? Maybe her family is very wealthy. Her eldest son is a high-ranking military officer. How can we, who are just digging for food in the fields, compare with him?"
While everyone was talking, they followed the truck to Xu Huaian's house, and the Xu family's yard was instantly surrounded by people.
The truck stopped at the door, and Xu Huaian helped Shi Qingqian get out of the car.
Someone immediately asked, "Huai'an, why are you buying so many things? Are you going to do something?"
"Yes, uncle, you must come when we get married. I'll save some good wine for you."
"Okay, okay, then I'll definitely come."
Neighbor Aunt Yang originally thought that it was right for her niece not to get together with Xu Huaian. Soldiers have a good reputation, but they can only spend a few days at home. To put it bluntly, marrying him would mean being a widow.
But now seeing the betrothal gift of three dozen cars, Aunt Yang was unwilling to accept it. This thing almost belonged to her niece, and it would also be in her hands.
Aunt Yang looked at the smiles on Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian's faces and felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at them.
She shouted at Zhang Lanxiang who was walking out the door, "Lanxiang, you have to take care of yourself. This isn't how life works. What's the point of buying more of these things? You have to find a wife who can take care of her husband and parents-in-law and give birth to a son."
Zhang Lanxiang's face darkened when she heard this, and she said bluntly, "Sister Yang, what are you talking about? My son has married a good wife, and he's living a good life. You don't have to worry about him."
"He doesn't know what's good for him," Aunt Yang muttered.
Xu Huaian knew that when the villagers saw these things, they would think that he bought them as a betrothal gift.
He simply shouted, "Mother, please call out my eldest and second brothers to help carry Qianqian's dowry into the house."
When everyone heard Xu Huaian's words and learned that the three trucks were actually Shi Qingqian's dowry, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
There was silence in the yard, and then it exploded.
"This is truly unprecedented. With such a large dowry, the girl must be very rich," sighed an old man, stroking his beard.
"That's right. I've lived to such an old age, but I've never seen a family give such a generous dowry when marrying off their daughter. It seems that Huaian's daughter-in-law's family is indeed extraordinary," another old man echoed.
Everyone looked at them with envy. Xu's father and mother stood aside, their faces full of surprise and pride.
"The Xu family is so lucky. Their son is an officer and their daughter-in-law is so rich. Their future life will definitely get better and better," someone said enviously.
"Yes, from now on, the Xu family will be the most blessed family in our village," others nodded in agreement.
Zhang Lanxiang also greeted everyone with a smile on her face: "When Huai'an and Qianqian get married, everyone come and have a drink at the wedding."
The men in the village responded and helped to move things.
The good thing about the villagers is that if someone needs help, people will come to help without them having to ask.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the dowry on three trucks was quickly moved into the Xu family's yard and house.
Xu Huaian's room was packed, so he could only temporarily put the things that couldn't be put in in Xu's father and mother's rooms.
Shi Qingqian gave each of the three drivers 20 yuan and gave each of the villagers who helped move things a handful of candy.
And the villagers who helped to move things were all grinning from ear to ear as they took the candies given by Shi Qingqian.
"This new daughter-in-law is really generous. Huai'an will be blessed in the future."
When Mr. Xu saw her action, he expressed his admiration, thinking that this child knew how to handle things.
……
After moving all her things, Shi Qingqian still faced a huge problem, which was that the house was too small and there was not enough space for her to put her things.
Moreover, they have separated now, but the kitchen is shared, and there is no way to hide what you eat. Li Guihua is a greedy and trouble-making person, so there will definitely be conflicts in the future.
Although Shi Qingqian felt that she could not lose in a verbal battle, she would still feel annoyed.
So she took Xu Huaian to discuss with her second uncle and asked him to grant them a piece of land next to their house so that they could build a few more rooms nearby.
Xu Huaian had no objection. He was not often at home, so it would be best if Shi Qingqian could live comfortably.
"Let's go tell Mom and Dad so I can go find my second uncle and try to get started tomorrow."
"There's no need to be so anxious."
"I only have ten days of vacation left. Find more people and try to fix it before I leave."
Shi Qingqian held him back and said, "I calculated that we need to build at least one more bedroom, a main room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a woodshed. Can you calculate how much land we need?"
"Well, I've got it."
