Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259
Zhang Xiaohao and his group of people, along with the three members of the Bi Family, returned to the Bi family’s three clay houses.
"Xiaohao, Little Black, thank you so much for tonight! Honestly, don’t laugh at me, I’ve never felt as alive as I did today!" Bi San said happily.
"Uncle, among family we don’t differentiate, from now on, we’re one family! Helping each other is naturally the right thing to do." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"By the way, Xiaohao, has Xiaorou and Little Black’s wedding been set?" He Fangfang asked.
"Yes, it’s been set! The eighteenth of this month, it’s a good day! Our visit this time serves two purposes: one is to bring the dowry money, and the other is to bring you two elders to attend the wedding! Including your relatives, as long as they’re willing to come, we’ll have a dedicated vehicle for pick-up, all food and accommodations covered! I’ve already booked the hotel over there! Originally, Xiaorou was supposed to come back this time, but things are too busy at the company, so she stayed there to help." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Yes, I heard Xiaorou mention this on the phone! Little Black is a good kid, we are very satisfied with him! After today’s events, I estimate the ten cars outside might not be enough!" Bi San thought for a moment and said. Orıginal content can be found at noᴠelfire.net
"Don’t worry about the cars, I’ll have two more buses brought over shortly!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Mhm!" Bi San and He Fangfang nodded with satisfaction.
What a considerate son-in-law, to think of everything so thoroughly.
"Uncle, Auntie, even though Little Black isn’t my biological brother, I’ve always looked after him like a real brother! His matters are my matters; for this wedding, I represent the groom’s side to offer the dowry to you, the bride’s family!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
"Shut up!" The Black Dragon Saint’s words were cut off by Zhang Xiaohao.
"Xiaohao, I understand your sentiment, the dowry doesn’t need to be too much, just a token gesture will do!" Bi San said.
"How could that be! While having dinner, I heard from the relatives that you two elders spent all your money to send Xiaorou to college, Xiao Hu didn’t even finish elementary school and dropped out! This kindness, we from the groom’s side ought to repay!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Xiaohao, don’t say that! This brat, he usually likes to cause trouble, doesn’t enjoy studying, even if we as parents have to endure hardships and fatigue, we shouldn’t let the child suffer! As long as Xiaorou wants to study, even if we have to sell everything, we as parents must ensure our children can attend school." Bi San said.
"Uncle, have a cigarette!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He took out a pack of Big Panda from his pocket, handed the first cigarette to Bi San, then took out two more and tossed them to Bi Tianhu and the Black Dragon Saint.
"What kind of cigarette is this? It looks so strange!" Bi San asked, puzzled.
"Ah! Brother Hao, is this Big Panda? The one they show on TV, a special supply for the Huaxia Prince?" Bi Tianhu exclaimed in surprise.
"What? This cigarette has such a prestigious background! Xiaohao, take them back quickly, I can’t smoke these!" Bi San said, taken aback.
"Uncle, cigarettes are meant to be enjoyed, we’re family, why are you treating me like an outsider?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll have to try the taste of this special Big Panda!" Bi San said.
The Black Dragon Saint wisely lit a fire for Bi San and Zhang Xiaohao.
"Xiaolu, go bring the pack of Big Panda from the car!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Li Xiaolu responded.
He promptly went back to the car and returned with a pack of Big Panda.
"Uncle, keep these cigarettes for yourself! If you ever run into trouble, just take one out to solve the problem!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed seriously.
"Xiaohao, isn’t this too valuable?" Bi San said.
"Uncle, you’re being too polite again." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"If that’s the case, I’ll accept it." Bi San thought for a moment and said.
He then handed the pack of Big Panda to He Fangfang, asking her to put it away safely inside.
A little while later, as He Fangfang re-emerged,
Zhang Xiaohao took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Uncle, Auntie, this card has a balance of 1.88 million, which is the dowry money from this time!" Zhang Xiaohao said solemnly.
"Ah! Xiaohao, that’s too much for a dowry, we can’t accept it! In other families in the village, girls’ weddings usually just get 38,800, maybe 88,800 for the well-off, this is way too much!!!" He Fangfang hastily refused.
"Auntie! This is our sincere gesture! Honestly, even this feels a bit low! If you don’t accept it, I’ll add another 1.88 million!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
The Bi parents, seeing how resolved Zhang Xiaohao was, sighed helplessly.
"If that’s the case, Xiaohao, we’ll accept it then!" Bi San said.
"Uncle, Auntie, it’s only right! When in Rome, we can’t break traditions!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"By the way, Xiaohao, after Xiaorou and Little Black get married, where will they live?" He Fangfang asked.
"Auntie, I’ve taken care of the housing! They’ll be living in my villa community! The entire villa is quite large, and after the wedding, we plan to bring your whole family over!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Ah! Well, Xiaohao, we aren’t accustomed to city life!"
"Yes, Xiaohao, living in the city feels too stifling, you hardly find anyone to talk to! Let’s forget about it!"
Bi San and He Fangfang refused.
"Uncle, Auntie, surely Xiaorou has told you about Little Black? He’s an orphan, and now that he’s marrying Xiaorou, he’s like half a son to you! A son taking care of his parents is a basic duty!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yes, Dad, Mom! Once we’re married, you should come live with us!" The Black Dragon Saint said.
"Ah! Xiaohao, I can agree with you on other things, but on this matter, I really can’t! When the time comes, people need someplace to settle down, and besides, city life doesn’t suit us, we prefer staying here." Bi San refused.
"Alright, listen to the elders." Zhang Xiaohao didn’t insist further.
The elders have their own thoughts, once they’ve decided, any further persuasion is futile.
"By the way, Xiaohao, when shall we head over?" He Fangfang asked.
"We’ll go the day after tomorrow! Tomorrow, I’ll have two more vehicles arranged, Uncle, have those relatives come over, once everyone’s here, we’ll depart the day after tomorrow! We’ll go early to prepare over there." Zhang Xiaohao thought for a moment and said.
