Chapter 559 - 560: I am Not Heartless
But Chen Jianguo’s brothers couldn’t help but gape: these two items alone would add up to at least two hundred yuan!
Marrying a wife from the city sure burns a lot of money!
Zhao Mei and the other daughters-in-law inevitably felt some envy, but they didn’t think it was unfair—it wasn’t money from their in-laws after all.
And considering the plentiful dowry from the other side, if Jianguo’s betrothal gifts were too scant, wouldn’t that make him akin to a matrilocal son-in-law?!
The Lu Family elders were also somewhat surprised; after all, they were well aware of the Chen Family’s situation.
Aside from a daughter who worked at a department store, and the recently employed Chen Jianjun, the Chen Family had been farming for generations.
Plus, their brick house was newly built, and furnishing it must have cost quite a bit. They thought the family wouldn’t have much fortune left.
Still, this indeed made them feel the Chen Family’s high regard for their daughter, which left them increasingly satisfied.
So they continued discussing other wedding matters, finally setting the wedding date for a month later.
