Since these gifts were prepared by the Li family, Mother Pan and Father Pan didn’t plan to refuse them. After all, the family had made such a generous offer to show how much they valued their daughter. If they refused it, it would make everyone feel awkward.
After a moment of silence, Mother Xiao glanced at her friend.
Seeing that the Pan family had no objection, she smiled and said, "In-laws, we will accept the gift and bride price. Now that we have accepted your family’s proposal, let’s choose a good date for the wedding."
Just as she finished speaking, a knock came at the door. Pan Chiyan stood up and said, "Mother, Father, I will go take a look."
When he opened the door, he saw a young man smiling at him.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" Pan Chiyan asked.
The young man greeted him and said, "Hello, Brother-in-law. I’m here to inform Brother Lingyun that the items have arrived. May we bring them up now?"
Pan Chiyan was taken aback by how casually the young man called him "brother-in-law." He looked at the young man for a moment and said, "I will go with you to see the items first."
The young man nodded and said, "Alright. Brother-in-law, my brothers are waiting downstairs."
Pan Chiyan nodded and followed him. When they came down, he saw a truck parked near the building’s entrance, with neighbors gathering around it curiously.
His sister had told him that the Li family would prepare betrothal gifts to be delivered on the proposal day, so he had cleared out a room to store them. However, he hadn’t expected them to use a truck. Just how many gifts had they prepared?
Despite his curiosity, Pan Chiyan maintained a calm expression.
When they reached the back of the truck, he finally saw the amount of gifts, and his calm demeanor faltered as he looked at the young man and asked, "Are all these betrothal gifts?"
The young man nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, these are all the betrothal gifts Brother Lingyun prepared for my sister-in-law."
As he spoke, the neighbors erupted in lively discussion. Many had known that the Pan family would be receiving guests from afar, but they hadn’t expected their future in-laws to be so generous.
Although Pan Chiyan was surprised, he quickly regained his composure. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Brothers, I would bother you to help me in bringing these items to my house."
Li Lingyun’s men nodded and said, "It’s no trouble at all, Brother-in-law."
They then began unloading the gifts from the truck and carrying them to the Pan family’s house.
While Pan Chiyan waited and watched to prevent any potential theft, the neighbors, who had initially come out of curiosity, began feeling envious upon seeing the expensive items.
