My scumbag husband only saves his white moonlight; I remarry the rough-and-tumble regimental command
Chapter 8: The scumbag who was rejected is still persistent and comes to propose marriage?
Wu Xingbang quickly declined, "No need. Let me think about it some more."
Wu Xingbang knew his older sister well; she had no sense of propriety when it came to her words, and if she were to make a fuss outside, she might cause some trouble.
Wu Zhaodi wouldn't agree so easily.
Later, she chatted with Wu's mother and learned that the girl's name was Ye Nuan, that she was beautiful, and that she was a high school student!
"Mom, that girl is quite well-off! If she really marries into our family, we can ask Xingbang to help out more so that she won't be unhappy."
The implication is that Ye Nuan's family is well-off, and Wu Xingbang's money will definitely not be used to subsidize her family in the future, which would benefit her younger siblings.
Wu's mother was also tempted.
Wu Xingbang has met many potential partners since he came back this time. Only two of them have jobs, but they are not good-looking. More importantly, their families are not well-off, and they both have younger brothers. If they marry into the family, they will probably only think about using money to support their brothers' families.
Ye Nuan's family is well-off, so her family doesn't need to help her. They might even be able to help the Wu family instead, which is indeed a good thing!
"That's true, but your brother said the other person is too young. Even if it happens, they might not be able to get married this year. We really don't know when your brother will be able to come back."
Wu Zhaodi, however, did not think it was a big deal.
"What's the big deal? Just have someone talk to her properly! Besides, the girl is about to graduate from high school. If she doesn't have a job, she'll have to go to the countryside. Would she be willing to go? It'll be different if she marries into our family. Xingbang is a military officer!"
When Wu's mother heard this, she thought it made sense, and her son was indeed successful. Where could she find such a good man?
The mother and daughter praised Wu Xingbang highly, wishing Ye Nuan would marry him right now.
With the matchmaker's teasing, the two finally had a chance to talk alone.
Gu Hanchuan was a man of action; he deftly pulled a savings book and a stack of banknotes from his pocket.
This action startled Ye Nuan!
"What are you doing?"
"This is the money I've saved over the years. Ever since I started receiving my allowance, aside from some social obligations, I've kept almost everything here. My parents both have salaries, so I don't need to hand it over. My mom even said that this is for me to save up to get married."
Now that things are settled between us, you'll be my boyfriend/girlfriend. I'll go back and submit our marriage application, and I'll come to marry you after you graduate high school.
Ye Nuan blinked. Was it really that straightforward?
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Seeing that his hand was still sticking forward like that, Ye Nuan had no choice but to take it and take a look, so she could find out just how capable this man really was.
After glancing at the passbook, he exclaimed softly and immediately closed it again!
Ye Nuan blinked. She hadn't misread it; the number inside was actually five digits.
how can that be!
"How could you have so much money? Even if you're a battalion commander now, you couldn't possibly have saved this much!"
Gu Hanchuan smiled and explained, "My own salary is indeed not that much. The first five thousand I deposited was given to me by my grandparents. Later, my mother deposited another thousand. The rest is what I saved myself. In addition to my salary, there are also some rewards for carrying out missions."
That's it!
Ye Nuan was startled, thinking that this person had done something shady.
It turns out the elders in the family are really capable!
Since Gu Hanchuan was able to join the army and become a battalion commander at such a young age, Ye Nuan was certain that his family background was not problematic.
Moreover, Ye Nuan had heard people say in her previous life that Gu Hanchuan came from a military family and that his grandfather was a high-ranking official, but she didn't know exactly how high-ranking.
Although the two have officially become a couple, they haven't yet received the consent of each other's parents, so there are some things Ye Nuan is too embarrassed to ask directly.
"You, this, we've only just started dating, you don't need to give me all of this. You should keep it, I know you can support me in the future."
Ye Nuan dared not take this.
I can't explain this to my family!
There are just too many!
When Gu Hanchuan saw her quickly stuff the things back into his hands, and her eyes clearly showed a hint of excitement, he knew that the girl in front of him was a money-loving person.
Gu Hanchuan chuckled. There's nothing wrong with loving money. Life is full of worries about daily necessities, and these all require money to solve.
"Okay then, I'll keep the passbook for now, since it's opened in Shanghai and you can't withdraw money from it here. Keep all the money and tickets, and buy yourself anything you like. I'm a rough guy and don't know what girls like, but I have a younger sister who likes to buy pretty clothes and hair clips, so you should buy her some too."
Ye Nuan chuckled. This guy was quite honest! But then, remembering what he had just said, Ye Nuan felt like teasing him again.
"So you just wanted me to see the numbers on your bankbook, right? Just like you said, even if I gave you this bankbook, I couldn't withdraw any money. You were clearly just showing off here on purpose!"
Gu Hanchuan became anxious.
"I really didn't mean that! I just thought that since we're already in a relationship and I'm going to marry you, it doesn't matter whether I give it to you sooner or later."
Ye Nuan was finally satisfied when she saw that he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Should!
He dared to scare me with such a large amount of money in his savings account; he needs to be taught a lesson!
However, Ye Nuan didn't go too far. After all, they had officially established a romantic relationship and would be living together from now on, so she couldn't scare him too much.
Gu Hanchuan and Gu Hong had just left when guests arrived at their home.
This time, it was Du Juan who came; she was the union official who acted as matchmaker for Ye Nuan and Wu Xingbang.
Behind Du Juan was a middle-aged woman who looked somewhat familiar. Ye Nuan took a closer look and realized that this was Wu Xingbang's older sister, Wu Pandi.
So, what are they doing here?
As soon as Wu Pandi entered the courtyard, her loud voice began: "Oh, this must be your sister-in-law? You're quite pretty, no wonder my brother took a liking to you at first sight! Today is an auspicious day, I'm here to present your family with betrothal gifts."
Offer a marriage proposal?
The relatives and neighbors who hadn't yet left were all stunned.
"Didn't you already get engaged to Comrade Gu? Why is there another one here?"
"Could there be a mistake? You might have come to the wrong door?"
An older woman with narrow eyes, who had always disliked the Ye family, scoffed, "What else could it be? One woman marrying two men! The Ye family is shameless enough to even think about collecting two sets of betrothal gifts! I bet they just want to see which family is more sincere and whoever gives more, and that's the family Ye Nuan will marry into!"
"You can't talk nonsense like that. If this gets out, you'll be arrested and reprimanded!"
The squinty-eyed aunt scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of! The Ye family has made their own blatant accusations, so why would they be afraid of what people say? I personally witnessed Ye Nuan arguing with two men at the alley entrance that day. Who knows if she's just being indecent?"
