Aunt Lin was also happy and asked Liu Hua’s parents, "Brother-in-law, Sister-in-law, do you have any requirements regarding the betrothal gift?"
Father Liu shook his head and said, "We don’t have any requirements. Just follow the rules."
After hearing his words, Aunt Lin hesitated. Although it seemed like the Liu family didn’t ask anything, it was actually more difficult than them saying what they wanted. They don’t know what their taboos are, and if they prepare incorrectly, this matter can lead to disaster on the day of the proposal.
"This…"
Seeing her hesitation, Mother Liu understood that her husband’s unintentional words had put Aunt Lin in a difficult situation.
"Since my sister-in-law asked, I will not hesitate to make the request. My Liu family has many relatives, and we want 90 packages of wedding cakes. Moreover, we also have great-grandmother, so we also want grandmother cakes." Mother Liu said with a smile .
Although they demand a lot of wedding cakes, Aunt Lin knew that there were indeed many relatives in the Liu family, so she readily agreed, "No problem. We will add grandma’s cake."
"In addition, we also want 18 oranges, a pair of pig’s trotters, a red envelope of 18 yuan, a diaper money of 68 yuan, two pairs of red candles, and two bottles of wine." Mother Liu added.
Aunt Lin nodded after hearing her request. The red envelope plus diaper money totaled 86 yuan, which was an auspicious number. She nodded and asked, "Sister-in-law, how many wedding cakes and oranges will you give us back later?"
Mother Liu thought for a while and said, "We will return 2 packages of wedding cakes and 6 oranges."
Aunt Lin counted them, nodded, and said, "Okay, we will meet your request."
Just when they thought everything had been solved, Xiao Li suddenly said, "Aunt Liu, I heard that the Huang family also prepared a bicycle and a radio."
Father Liu and Mother Liu understood what he meant and smiled.
"Ah Li, you don’t need to give us a bicycle or a radio. Just preparing the gifts as per custom is enough," Mother Liu said with a smile.
Hearing what she said, Xiao Li knew that they were worried that he would not have money to buy those items, so they didn’t want to make it hard for him. Although he appreciated their consideration for him, he did not want Liu Hua to be wronged.
If the news of the Huang family’s cancellation of the engagement spread, everyone would laugh at her. If the bride price for her marriage with him is less, the villagers would definitely spread bad rumors about her. Therefore, even if the Liu family did not ask for it, he would try his best to prepare it for her.
When the neighbors heard the commotion, they came out of their homes one after another with curious looks on their faces. When they saw a group of women outside Gao’s house, they knew something was wrong. freёwebnovel.com
