Chapter 1722: Chapter 1658: Group Favorite Counterpart 88

Si Ya and Ren Lu were sweetly discussing what to eat tonight, and Si Ya asked Ren Lu, "Did your dad bring any seafood when he came?"

Ren Lu nodded, "He did, I’ll cook it for you tonight."

Si Ya smiled back, "Tonight I’ll make braised pork for you, and also prepare zhajiang noodles."

The two were happily chatting when they heard their dads start arguing on either side.

Si Ya jumped in fright.

Looking at Anning, Anning was talking to Mrs. Ren, "Let them men argue; we women don’t bother with those things. You guys should stay a few more days, I’ll take you around, and tomorrow we’ll visit our village. Let me tell you, our environment there is really nice. If you come over, I’ll take you to see our greenhouse. Whatever vegetables you want, just pick and eat. We have plenty of hydroponic vegetables now, they’re really delicious."

Mrs. Ren smiled, "Alright, we’ll trouble you for a few days."

Si Ya, seeing no one stopping them, noticed her dad and Mr. Ren were about to roll up their sleeves for a fight. She quickly gave Ren Lu a look.

Xiao Yuanzheng and Mr. Ren were in a standoff.

"I’m telling you, my daughter will inherit the family business in the future. You can’t take her away with just a few measly dollars."

Mr. Ren, having drunk too much, said, "Who’s trying to take your daughter away? Your daughter will inherit the family business, my son also has to inherit the family business. Our family is marrying a wife, not trafficking people. What are you saying? Come on, just tell me how much dowry you want."

"Then you tell me how much dowry you’re giving." Xiao pounded the table and stood up, "I’m telling you, my daughter doesn’t want a penny. Once she’s in your family, you all have to treat her well. I can’t let people point at my daughter in the future saying she’s bought."

Mr. Ren, equally furious, also pounded the table, "You think we’re like that? According to our customs, if there’s no dowry, people will laugh. How about this, instead of money, you give a house or land? Our family has a building in Dream City, I’ll give it to Si Ya. Also... we have a pearl farm, I’ll give it to Si Ya."

"Go away, acting like we care that much." Xiao waved his hand, "I said we don’t want any, what’s my daughter lacking a building or pearls for?"

Seeing they really couldn’t reach an agreement, Si Ya quickly held Xiao.

Ren Lu hurried to hold his dad, "Dad, dad, calm down, you’re here to propose, not to argue."

Si Ya also persuaded, "Dad, dad, don’t rush, don’t get angry. Just for me, can you tolerate a bit? Let’s take a step back, and ask for a little more, okay?"

Ren Lu also persuaded, "Dad, you take a step back too, let’s give a little less, okay?"

Xiao looked at Si Ya, seeing his daughter’s eyes a bit red, "My girl, your dad is greatly wronged for you, all these years, I’ve never been so belittled."

Mr. Ren was also feeling aggrieved.

"Son, how do I explain it after going back? Can’t even send the dowry, where do I put my old face?"

At this point, Mrs. Ren couldn’t sit still.

She went over and slapped Mr. Ren on the head, "Alright, you’ve drunk a few cups of cat urine and don’t know your surname anymore, sit down properly."

Once Mrs. Ren spoke, Mr. Ren didn’t dare say anything, obediently sat there.

Anning glared at Xiao, "You sit down too, drink your tea and eat your food, let me and the in-laws discuss the marriage."

Anning pulled Mrs. Ren, chatting warmly.

"In-laws, we’re both unfortunate, couldn’t find good men. Look at them, can’t even handle the kids’ betrothal matters properly, what use are they?"

Mrs. Ren sighed, "Exactly, I’ve worried my whole life."

Anning smiled bitterly, "For this matter, we shouldn’t be stubborn. Let me suggest something, see what you think."

Mrs. Ren quickly said, "In-laws, go ahead, I’m listening."

Anning said, "Look, this is about the kids, we shouldn’t talk about giving too much or too little. Let’s not meddle in what we plan to give, let the kids discuss it themselves, okay? If my daughter wants something, let her ask your son. If your son wants to buy something for my daughter, let him buy it. Let them handle their matters; let’s not interfere."

Mrs. Ren clapped her thigh, "That’s a good idea."

Anning immediately smiled, "See, us women know how to communicate, unlike them men, who start arguing after a few cups. If all were like this, would the marriage still happen?"

Xiao and Mr. Ren sat there listening to the two women mock them, looking aggrieved and helpless.

What could they do? Their own women, their own kids, just cosset them.

Finally, the meal was about done, Anning had Si Qi settle the bill early, and afterwards the two families left together.

As soon as they exited the hotel, Mr. Ren’s phone rang.

He quickly answered, "What, the seafood is here? Where to deliver it?"

Mr. Ren looked towards Si Ya, "Si Ya, Uncle brought a truck of seafood for you, where should we send it?"

Si Ya looked at Anning.

Anning smiled, "Send it to Xiaxi Village."

Si Ya quickly gave the address to Mr. Ren, and Mr. Ren told the driver, "You send it over now, we’ll be there shortly."

Just after Mr. Ren finished talking to the driver, Anning told Mrs. Ren, "Come on, you’re coming home with me today, I’ll also show you around our village."

"Alright."

Mrs. Ren grabbed Mr. Ren and left with Anning and the others.

Before leaving, she told Ren Lu, "You and Si Ya go back to the hotel and get our things, then find a way to come over."

Both families’ parents, along with Si Qi, drove to Xiaxi Village together.

Si Ya and Ren Lu went to the hotel to get the luggage for Mr. and Mrs. Ren.

At the hotel, Ren Lu was packing the luggage, while Si Ya sat by the side looking at her phone.

She saw some messages from good friends asking how the marriage proposal went, and sighed, replying, "Scared me to death, almost didn’t finalize it."

Within seconds, her friends messaged again asking, "Why?"

"Because of the dowry," Si Ya replied.

Ren Lu packed everything and called Si Ya to go check out.

Si Ya slipped her phone into her pocket and went to the lobby with Ren Lu to check out, without seeing the follow-up messages.

She left it be, while her friends started discussing.

"Is it because the Ren family isn’t offering any money?"

"Or maybe Si Ya’s family is asking for too much dowry."

"Si Ya’s parents wouldn’t be favoring sons over daughters, right? I heard Si Ya has a brother, he’s in the Capital too. Maybe her dad wants more dowry to buy her brother a house in the Capital."

"How could Si Ya’s family be like that? Si Ya and Ren Lu are such a good match, if it falls through, Si Ya would be heartbroken."

"I think that might be true; I’ve seen this happen a lot. Many families are like this. Don’t you think Si Ya must be quite frustrated now?"
