no longer ordinary friends

Jiang Li looked at the dawn, and yawned: "If it's okay, I'll go back to the hotel and sleep for a while. If my mother comes later, Chengcheng, please call me."

She was about to leave as she said, and Zhou Bingcheng didn't have time to take care of Zhou Zhicheng's affairs, so he grabbed Jiang Li's wrist from behind with a few strides.

Jiang Li turned around in surprise, and in just a short time, he put a gold bracelet on her left wrist. He pursed his lips, and grabbed her other hand, and wanted to put another gold bracelet on her. bracelet.

She quickly shook off his hand and frowned: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Bingcheng said: "My mother gave you these, two gold bracelets and one gold ring." He took out a ring box from his pocket, which was a diamond ring he had bought a long time ago.

He took a deep breath and rolled his Adam's apple: "Jiang Li, marry me."

After the voice fell, the living room was silent, and no one spoke. For a while, only the shouts of selling meat and soybean milk from outside, and the sound of pots and pans in other people's homes could be heard.

Jiang Litong shrank her eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The air was stagnant, seeing her about to refuse.

Zhou Guohua, who squatted at the railing of the stairs on the second floor and watched for a long time, was so anxious that he almost died. He went downstairs and said, "Zhou Bingcheng, is your head full of barbecued pork? Have you watched TV? You have to kneel down to propose marriage, and then say your oath." , even if it is a lie, you have to make it up at this time."

He picked up the fly swatter on the coffee table, walked over and slapped next Zhou Bingcheng's leg, and said, "Kneel."

Zhou Bingcheng was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously knelt down on his knees with a "bang".

After all, Jiang Li is also from Nanri County, and she is quite superstitious. This way of kneeling to God will shorten her life, so she immediately avoided it subconsciously.

Zhou Guohua felt that there was no way out: "Hey, Jiang Li, don't marry him, there will be another barbecued pork."

Cai Mei also got up, and heard this sentence when she came down from the second floor, and cursed: "Zhou Guohua, keep talking nonsense again, and see if I can beat you."

She dragged him to the kitchen and muttered: "Don't stand here and be an eyesore. He is marrying your grandson, not you. I don't know what you are in a hurry for."

Zhou Bingcheng frowned helplessly, then knelt down on one knee, and said again: "Jiang Li, I...I want to marry you."

Zhou Zhicheng pinched her palm, but didn't let herself laugh out loud. Think about it, people still don't want to. She looked away and looked at the gradually bright blue sky outside the window, but the corners of her mouth couldn't restrain her upward movement.

Jiang Xianghuai walked up to her and smiled lightly at her.

Zhou Bingcheng continued: "I know you want to leave Nanri County, you don't want to be influenced by your family, and you are afraid that your mother will trouble you, but I am not afraid, if she seeks you, I will stand in front of you, and I will not I don't think there is any trouble, and we will still live in Beicheng, which is far away from your home. I now have a caravan and a job with a relatively decent income. I will work harder to make money in the future. I am also ready for the gift money your mother asked for gone."

Jiang Li listened to the previous words, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she didn't say anything. When she heard the last sentence, she frowned, her expression slightly cold.

Cai Mei knew it was over, she was a woman, how could she not understand her thoughts, the way her mother asked for a bride price was like selling her daughter, this was the fact that Jiang Li was least willing to face.

She came out of the kitchen and said: "Li Li, don't think too much, Bingcheng is willing to pay this money because he cherishes you. Girls get married with bride price, no matter how much your mother wants, since he wants to marry you , you should prepare this money, not to worry about your mother, but to respect you. Some people say that the bride price is to buy and sell daughters, but from another perspective, it means that your in-laws value you and think you are worth it, and we are not here. There are no million-dollar gifts, but there are many."

Jiang Li's chest was heavy, no matter how much she said, she had to admit that it was because of her low self-esteem.

She likes Zhou Bingcheng, and everyone in the Zhou family, but she is so bad that she is not worthy of such a good Zhou family. Her mother is a ticking time bomb. When will the family be unbearable, and what should she do then?

Zhou Zhicheng also said: "If you are worried that my brother will change his mind after marriage, from marriage to divorce, and my one-stop service as a divorce lawyer can peel off his skin."

Jiang Li was silent for a while, then said with difficulty: "How about I pay the gift money myself."

This amount of money is really too much, and she is even more afraid that the 100 million will become a hammer that breaks her dignity when the relationship is no longer there later.

Cai Mei couldn't wait to beat Jiang Li on the head: "If you marry someone else, you must think you are stupid. How can you pay the bride price back? Don't feel sorry for Zhou Bingcheng, just let him pay the money. It hurts." I will know how to hurt my wife."

This is the thinking of the older generation, who have not read any books and do not understand what is the nature and transformation of modern marriage.

She continued: "You young people are always arguing that the bride price is buying and selling wives. This is what the families who can't afford a daughter-in-law are talking about. They just want to get a daughter-in-law for nothing, make money for their family for free, have children, and a lot of money. Silly child, don’t want a dowry gift, post it upside down, get pregnant before marriage, no one will end well, no one will cherish it, they will only be happy that their son is attractive, and he can dump it if he wants, anyway, it doesn’t cost money and doesn’t feel bad, On the contrary, the one who received the bride price, the man loves both the money and his wife."

This is Grandma Cai's Daughter Sutra, it was told to Jiang Li, and it was also told to Zhou Zhicheng.

"In addition to these, it's not easy for a daughter to marry far away. She doesn't know the basics, and she is still far away. When she was bullied, she didn't have to cry. You were also raised by Grandma Cai. Marry Bingcheng, and Chengcheng will support you , there is no sister-in-law problem."

She looked at Jiang Li: "Your Grandma Cai has been an upright person all your life. I used to pick up more than 1 yuan in cash in other people's wallets in the car and handed it in. When I was young, I helped others catch thieves on the train. The thief scared me. I don’t even dare to look at me, my name, Cai Mei, is still on the list of good people and good deeds in the street.”

"Our Zhou family is also a five-good family. Grandma is here to assure you that if you are willing to marry Bingcheng just because you are worried that your mother will cause trouble, you can treat Grandma Cai as your kissing grandma, and grandma will help you quarrel. Go back and never let her bully you, Grandma will love you, and everyone in our family will love you."

Jiang Li didn't know what to say for a while, she watched Zhou Bingcheng put the diamond ring on her, curled up her fingers, but she didn't refuse after all.

She blinked, her eye sockets were slightly hot, her eyes were a little blurry, and she didn't know which sentence touched her.

If you post it online asking for help, others will definitely laugh at her innocence and stupidity. People from the in-law’s family are always from the in-law’s family. How can they be sincere to you? You still listen to the words of the in-law’s family and deal with your own mother together.

Then she would like to be a fool once.

Sincerity is changeable in an instant, and she should cherish this moment of sincerity, which comes from Zhou Bingcheng and Cai Ama.

Zhou Bingcheng repeated the simplest sentence again: "Jiang Li, are you willing to marry me?"

She pursed her lips, her nose was red, and her nasal voice was a bit heavy: "You...why do you want to marry me?"

"Because of love, because you are worth it." He looked serious, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Jiang Li, if I didn't love you, how could I have been with you for so many years?"

Jiang Li wants to refute him, so is that also called being together?

But when she opened her mouth, she heard her promised voice: "Okay."

She would.

She has been cautious since she was a child, and she does not do things that are not sure, because she does not have the capital and courage to gamble, but this time she is willing to be a brave gambler.
