no longer ordinary friends

After Zhou Bingcheng went back, he took a shower, and when he came out, he saw his grandma sitting on his bed, luckily he didn't come out of the bathroom naked today, he was helpless: "Grandma, can you give me some privacy? "

Cai Mei was flipping through the things he brought back without even looking at him: "What privacy do you have? Your younger sister, who studies law, dare not talk about privacy in this house. What's so interesting about you taking a bath? When you were young, your grandma would I'm tired of seeing it, it's just so small..." She made a small gesture while talking, slowly bringing her thumb and index finger together.

Zhou Bingcheng had a headache: "It's so late, I'll pack things up tomorrow, I'll do it myself."

"You think I want to take it?" Cai Mei stood up, "I just want to know, is the thing you bought last time just for Jiang Li?"

Zhou Bingcheng paused while wiping his hair: "Yes."

"It seems that you have a lot of money. I contacted your mother today. They are not asleep yet. They are having dinner. She said that you marry your own wife. You decide. Your sister is the same age, and your father said directly, if it was Chengcheng, he would definitely not agree to her marrying a man like you."

Zhou Bingcheng himself knew that when he was old, he ate tender grass and was still his sister's friend.

Jiang Xianghuai's incident was also quite embarrassing. For many years, his friends wanted to become his brother-in-law behind his back, but he was like a fool who didn't know anything. He just couldn't stand the embarrassment that made his skin crawl, so he hurried home.

Cai Mei took out two things wrapped in red cloth bags from her pocket, and said, "Jiang Li's mother will definitely come again tomorrow morning, please confirm with Grandma, do you really want to marry her?"

"Yes." Zhou Bingcheng was very serious, and he shook the water droplets from his hair twice.

"Okay, then Jiang Li's mother will definitely ask for 100 million dowry gifts. There are many families who go abroad here. In the early years abroad, it was easier to make money by relying on the exchange rate difference, so the dowry gifts are relatively high. Generally, women who want to face The dowry is also given to the daughter as a dowry, but Jiang Li's mother will definitely not give it to Jiang Li, you have to be clear about this."

Cai Mei considers herself to be a good person, she never likes to be greedy for petty gains, she is frank and straightforward, and when she quarrels with others, others have to come to hurt her and take advantage of her. She immediately said: "When I married your grandfather, I was so poor. Jingle, your grandfather didn't say that he would use my dowry money to subsidize the family, so if Jiang Li got the dowry, you can't touch it either."

Zhou Bingcheng thought it was funny, and promised, "Never touch it."

Cai Mei then gave him two cloth bags and asked him to open them.

Inside are two gold bracelets and a gold ring. At first glance, it is heavy pure gold. The color is not very bright, reddish yellow. The two bracelets are in the style of dragon and phoenix. The workmanship is fine. of rose petals.

She said, "Your mother asked me to give it to you."

Zhou Bingcheng raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it my mother who got married? Then Chengcheng didn't, so he won't be so angry that he wants to kill me?"

"Your mother bought it with money! When she got married, she wore it herself. If she couldn't afford it, why did she give it to someone second-hand?" Cai Mei frowned, wishing she could poke her finger on his head, "Your sister is so high-spirited Very well, she still doesn’t like second-hand ones, don’t worry, she has them too! Even if your grandfather sells his property, he won’t let her get married without money if he goes to sleep on the side of the road.”

Zhou Bingcheng: "I thought it was a family heirloom."

"Family treasures, the ancestors of the Zhou family are all poor." Cai Mei couldn't stop complaining, saying over and over again, "Your grandpa's grandpa was a bandit before, and he was shot and killed. Your grandpa's grandpa , Dad is a farmer, the family only has a piece of broken land, relying on the sky to eat, your grandfather lost his father when he was six years old, and he was in the sixth grade of elementary school. He used to learn tailoring, cooking, and cooperation with others. At the timber factory, I almost got caught and sent to jail for illegally chopping firewood.”

"When I was young, I went to the mountains to open up wasteland and grow loquats with a large army. Later, I opened this small shop. It was only after your parents went abroad to work as children from other provinces and opened a factory that the family had some money. It can afford the two of you to spend money lavishly. The two were trained to be college students, the first generation of cultural people in our family, the bandits must have smiled crookedly in the underground, so, how can our family have any family heirlooms? We don’t even have a family tree.”

She also felt proud: "When you were just admitted to university, the ancestral hall in your hometown wanted to include you in the Zhou family's genealogy, but your grandfather directly refused. How many years have you moved out? Who cares about that? "

"When you and Chengcheng were young, Grandma told your fortunes. Wealthy fate is a good fate for getting promoted and getting rich."

Zhou Bingcheng sighed: "The fortune teller on the bridge is talking nonsense. Didn't he also say that Chengcheng would be cheated by a man at the age of 18? What's the point of getting married? He has five children in his life. It made my mother nervous. Xixi, it turned out that she was studying obediently..."

He thought of something, and suddenly stopped. He would have met Jiang Xianghuai by then, but he had already been deceived by a man?

The master is sincere and does not deceive others.

Cai Mei continued: "Your parents said that they will pay the bride price, and you don't need to pay it. When your grandfather had the operation, we made an agreement. When Chengcheng returned to his hometown, the pension money of your grandfather and I will be left to her in the future. opinion?"

Zhou Bingcheng had no choice but to say, "Grandma, that's my sister. I have no objection to that."

"Since you want to get married, you must be a husband and a father to your children. Jiang Li is also a grandma who saw her growing up, and she is a good friend with Chengcheng. Her mother treats her badly. You can't Bullying others, although your grandpa has no great skills in this life and is always bullied, he is very good to his wife and children."

"I will."

"Don't even think about getting a divorce once you're married, our family can't afford to lose face."

"……understood."

Cai Mei refused to leave after finishing speaking. She stared at Zhou Bingcheng and narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Is Jiang Xianghuai Chengcheng's ex-boyfriend?"

"Don't ask me, I'm her brother, not her sister, and she refused to tell me what's on her mind since puberty." This is the difference between men and women.

Cai Mei saw the anger and embarrassment on his face, confirmed that he was indeed being kept in the dark, and then said: "Xiang Huai is a very nice person, but he may not be suitable for Chengcheng. I was sad and broke up at the beginning. It is best to be Don't be together anymore, he's still a foreigner, it's generally not good to marry far away, even though there are planes now..."

She sighed again: "But if she really likes it, will your grandfather and I be that bad guy?"

She thought about it, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind: "Let me be that bad person. It's not that we insist on keeping her for the elderly, but we will never allow her to marry far away. What's the good of marrying so far away? I don't even know if I'm being bullied." How can I help her fight in a car! Thinking of her suffering and crying in someone else's house, I can't close my eyes even if I die."

Cai Mei stared at Zhou Bingcheng: "Did Jiang Xianghuai tell you anything?"

"What will he say to me?" Zhou Bingcheng said coldly, "I just beat him up."

"What are you beating him for?" Cai Mei panicked.

Zhou Bingcheng sneered: "Oh, you feel sorry for him, don't you?"

"Why do I feel sorry for him? He is a barrister. What if you beat him and he sues you? Chengcheng has done many cases like this, deliberately hurting you, what is it called when you get beaten up? , You can lose tens of thousands of money in no time, you really don't let Grandma worry at all!"

Zhou Bingcheng smiled: "That's not very good, let Chengcheng go to court with him."

In exchange, Cai Mei slapped him on the arm: "I've been making trouble for your sister all day long."

Zhou Bingcheng basically didn't sleep much that night. He chatted with Grandma until after four o'clock, and then drove Grandma to bed. He squinted for a while, and then walked around in the living room. When I am sober, I will sneak back to the hotel.

Sure enough, after five o'clock, the door of Zhou Zhicheng's room was opened by a small gap, and someone crept out of the gap, fearing that there would be a big commotion.

As soon as Jiang Li turned around, Zhou Bingcheng, who was standing in the dark, almost cried out in fright. She swallowed the scream and scolded him: "Are you sick?"

Zhou Zhicheng was also behind the door, with messy hair sleeping, she grabbed the phone on the table in the room: "Go downstairs and talk, but Grandpa should be getting up soon."

In the living room on the first floor.

Zhou Zhicheng lay cross-legged on the sofa, yawning from sleepiness, her temples twitched with pain after she was drunk, she swiped her phone for a while, and saw Jiang Xianghuai sent her a photo of him with a bruised nose and swollen face a few hours ago.

She sent a question mark. She couldn't imagine how he would be beaten in Nanri County. He had no parties or enemies, but she didn't feel bad about it. She could still post selfies. It seemed that nothing happened. She wanted to pretend Poor.

Jiang Xianghuai replied: "I saw that the lights in your house were on, and I was outside the door."
