Afternoon.

After the betrothal gift matter was settled, Xie Ran immediately went out and called Fang Shuiling, wanting to tell her the good news as soon as possible.

there.

Xiao Ling's father's Family Compound.

Fang Shuiling obviously doesn't know yet and is arguing with the people in the house and family.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1957

Fang Wenping also came to visit the third brother's house today, and was in the living room with Fang Shuiling's parents.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? What are you going to do!" Fang Shuiling was so angry that his eyes were red. He didn't eat when he met Xie Ran's parents at noon, and he didn't eat even when he got home. Even if the nanny had prepared the meal and brought it to him, Fang Shuiling didn't even take a bite. Dong Dong has been quarreling with his parents, "Grandpa has agreed, and my family has agreed to the matter between me and Ran-ge. Why are you still making things difficult for us? Don't you want me to be the master for once? Don't you want to see me be happy? If you deliberately don't want me to get married! Then I will never marry again in my life!"

Third Brother Fang looked at her daughter, "My temper is getting worse and worse. Why are you talking to the two of us?"

Xiao Ling's Mother said calmly, "We didn't say we wouldn't let you get married, isn't this an agreement, but the bride price cannot be less, this is the rule!"

Fang Shuiling said, "Where can there be such rules!"

Xiao Ling's Mother said, "What are you shouting?"

Fang Shuiling burst into tears, "Can I not shout? Is there anyone like you? How can I meet Ran-ge's family after you offer so many colorful gifts? How can I get along with their family? And it's a villa and it costs 10 million! Ran-ge's family also gets it Don't come out! All the gifts add up to nearly 100 million! Who has so much money!" Fang Shuiling still understands the situation in Xie Ran's family. They can't even afford a gift of 10 million, let alone 100 million. There is no one in their family who is in business.

Xiao Ling's Mother hummed. "If you can't get it out, don't even think about marrying my daughter."

Seeing his daughter crying, Xiao Ling's father also softened his heart. She said to her daughter, "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. We don't want this money. We don't take a penny from the bride price. It's all for you to live after your marriage. It can be regarded as a guarantee for you. Moreover, the relationship between our two families has always been very bad. You also know this. Now that their family wants you to marry, they must give us face." Our family has done enough, otherwise how could our family get down to this level? We just married our daughter for not much money? Then others thought that we had something to do with the Xie Family, and they thought that we were afraid of their family. This is not a simple matter, it is not as easy as you think."

At this time, Fang Wenping suddenly said, "It's not as complicated as you think."

Fang Shuiling found his backbone, and immediately rushed to his sister-in-law, hugged her arm, and shouted, "Auntie, they are unreasonable!"

"Touch" "Touch" her head, Fang Wenping said, "It's okay, my aunt is here, don't cry anymore."

Xiao Ling's father glanced at Fang Wenping and was about to say something when Xiao Ling's phone rang.

When he saw the number, Fang Shuiling quickly wiped away his tears. With a look of grievance and nervousness on his face, he quickly walked to the corner to answer the phone. The call was from Xie Ran, but Fang Shuiling was very uneasy at this time. She was afraid that Ran-ge's family would be angry because of this incident. If they never agreed to her marriage to Xie Ran again... It's no wonder Fang Shuiling thought so. After all, their family's request for a bride price was indeed too much.

A hundred million less!

How many political families can afford so much money?

Families like theirs are relatively well-behaved, and they are never as rich as others think!

The call went through.

"Hey, Lingling." Xie Ran said.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1957

Fang Shuiling sobbed. "Ran-ge, I'm sorry."

"Oh, why are you crying?" Xie Ran said hurriedly, "It's okay. Don't cry."

Fang Shuiling burst into tears, "What did your uncle and aunt say? Our affairs are still..."

Xie Ran smiled and said, "Hurry and wipe your tears. I called you to tell you this. The problem of the bride price has been solved. There is no problem anymore."

"Ah?" Fang Shuiling was stunned. "Solved?"

Xie Ran hummed, "Everything is ready."

Fang Shuiling couldn't believe it. "How could it be so fast? And your family has so much money...Ran-ge! Don't scare me! How did you get this money?" Fang Shuiling's face turned pale. A family like theirs has no money, but they have great power. Not to mention Xie Ran's parents and elders, even if Xie Ran just talks to some company bosses and wants to get tens of millions, there is no problem.

Xie Ran was happy when he heard it, "What are you thinking about? Don't worry, the money came from the real thing. It was given by my brother-in-law. The villa is the villa over Sijiqingqiao that my brother-in-law just bought two years ago. It is 3400 square meters in the Fourth Ring Road. It is a single-family house with a swimming pool. I went there once and it was very beautiful. My brother-in-law also paid for it. My brother-in-law gave me a bank card worth 12 million, so your parents' requirements for betrothal gifts are fine."

Fang Shuiling was dumbfounded, "Brother Dong?"

Xie Ran sighed, "You really owe me Brother-in-law a lot this time."

Fang Shuiling said anxiously, "Can we ask for this money? A hundred million is too small, this is too..."

"Don't worry about this for now. Let's hold our wedding first. Then we can repay this favor properly in the future." Xie Ran has already thought about it.

Fang Shuiling was still worried, "But why am I, Brother Dong, so rich?"

Xie Ran said, "I actually don't know much about this. I only know that I, Brother-in-law, won a lottery before. It seems to be the Football Lottery first prize or the Double Color Ball first prize. I won a hundred bets, and this time it was hundreds of millions. Then I got some money-making stuff, so I don't know." At this point, Xie Ran was also very emotional and said, "I, Brother-in-law, have truly been a legend in my life. I can't tell you all about him in three days and three nights. Everything is incredible and thrilling. I will tell you slowly when I have the opportunity in the future. I have never admired many people in my life, including my grandfather, my uncle, my dad, my eldest sister, and the other one is me, Brother-in-law."

Hang up the phone.

Fang Shuiling laughed through tears, turned around and walked back.

Xiao Ling's Mother was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Whose phone number?" You were crying just now, why are you so happy now?

Fang Shuiling ignored her mother until Fang Wenping also asked, then Fang Shuiling smiled at her sister-in-law and said, "It's Ran-ge who called, saying that the bride price is all ready."

Xiao Ling's father was slightly startled, "Are you ready?"

Fang Shuiling said happily, "Well, it's only high, not low. The villa is in Fourth Ring Road. It's a single-family house with a swimming pool. The location is very good."

Xiao Ling's Mother didn't believe it, "When did their family weigh money like this?"

"It's from Ran-ge Brother-in-law." Fang Shuiling said.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1957

"That Dong Xuebin?" Xiao Ling's Mother said in surprise, "Then he can't be so rich, right? Where did he get the money? He didn't come from the right way!"

Fang Shuiling said unhappily, "What are you talking about? It's too much for you to ask for so many colorful gifts. Now that they have given them out, you still say that their money came from improper sources. What do you want?" As he said this, Fang Shuiling became anxious again.

Xiao Ling's Mother said, "I'm not worried."

Xiao Ling's father looked at Fang Wenping, "Sister, have you worked in the same department as that Dong Xuebin? How did this person get his money?"

Fang Wenping said calmly, "I don't know how it came about, but when he first joined Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the personal property disclosed by the cadres was more than 100 million."

Xiao Ling Parents: "..."

Property disclosure is more than 100 million?

Have you been working at Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for so long?

That obviously means that there must be nothing wrong with the money and it comes from a legitimate source. Otherwise, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would have gone to investigate him long ago. You would know this without asking.

Fang Shuiling looked at his parents and said, "Can I get married now?"

Xiao Ling's Mother said helplessly, "Marry me, marry me, you are in such a hurry, don't blame your mother for giving them problems. Isn't it for my daughter? This is also a test for their family to see if they are really serious about you. Now it seems that their family has done a good job. They just raised the betrothal gift and it was done. It seems that they still attach great importance to my daughter. Hmph, they have a discerning family and know that my daughter is excellent."

Fang Shuiling trailed off and said, "Mom."

Five o'clock.

Old Master Xie home.

"The meal is ready, get ready to eat." Han Jing came out of the kitchen wiping his hands.

"Auntie, why are you eating so early today?" Xie Jing helped Han Jing serve the dishes.

Han Jing smiled and said, "Guobang and the others won't be back at night, so it's just us. Let's eat early. You Brother-in-law still have to go back for your seven o'clock flight."

Ci Lifen said, "Xiao Hao, go upstairs and help your grandpa down to eat."

After a while, dinner was ready.

Old Master Xie asked, "Xiao Ran, are you ready for everything?"

Xia Yanzhen hummed, "Thanks to Xiao Bin, the problem of the bride price has also been solved."

"Then let's plan the wedding and have a good one for the children." Old Master Xie also looked very happy, stroking his beard and smiling, "Hui Lan Xiao Bin's child will be 100 days old soon, and he will also have a big event by then. Haha, our family is full of happy events this year, not bad."

Dong Xuebin said, "Grandpa, I never heard that Dong Zhong will be given a hundred days."

Old Master Xie smiled and said, "It won't be done after the full moon. You can't run away for a hundred days. Not only must it be done, but it must be done in a big way. If you are not here Capital City, you don't have to worry about it. Just let your mother take care of it."

Han Jing said, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Dong Xuebin feels it's inappropriate. If it's Xie Ran's child, that's right. After all, the child's surname is Xie, but Dong Xuebin's child has a foreign surname here. It's a bit too exaggerated and grand to do so. But Old Master said so, and Dong Xuebin can't say anything.

But others can see clearly that Old Master actually made plans to use Xie Family's connections to support Dong Xuebin's child for a hundred days, which shows that Old Master attaches great importance to Dong Xuebin. In their family, after the Xie Family's sister-in-law Xie Guoyue's son was born, the family never held such a grand ceremony for the child's full moon and 100 days. At that time, it was just a meal for the family, that is, Dong Xuebin had this kind of treatment. (To be continued...
