It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

"Boom boom boom——"

"coming!"

Gu Jie responded loudly and went over to open the door.

Standing outside the door were the Second Uncle and Second Mother, with strange smiles on their faces, "Xiao Jie, you guys are not asleep yet!"

The habitual smile on Gu Jie's face turned a little colder, "I'll go to sleep soon."

Has she already guessed why the other party knocked on the door?

"We have something to ask you."

Er Niang gently pushed her husband and said, "Let's go in and talk."

Although she was a little reluctant, Gu Jie still opened the door and said, "Come in!"

The three of them came to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

This is a suite. Nanny Wu Xiaoxia heard the noise outside and came out of the room to help pour water for the guests.

At this time, Su Yu also came out of the toilet, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, it's so cold, why haven't you rested yet?"

Second Mother was a little afraid of Su Yu, so Second Uncle said, "I haven't slept yet, I just want to discuss something with you."

Su Yu knew what the two wanted to do without thinking, so he sat down next to Hongniang and listened attentively.

Facing the two younger generations, the second uncle thought of his purpose. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still said, "Xiao Jie, your brother is getting married next year."

"Their family asked for a dowry of 100,000 yuan and they also wanted to buy a house in the county town."

Afraid of being interrupted, the second uncle spoke faster, "You also know our family's conditions. We can't afford this money at all."

"So, I thought..."

As he spoke, a somewhat restrained smile appeared on his face, "Can you lend us some money?"

Er Niang also nodded in agreement, "Lend us money so that Xiao Feng can get married. Our whole family will thank you in the future."

Having long been disappointed with these relatives, Gu Jie was calm and gave a direct answer, "If you need to borrow money, ask my mother. I don't care about these things."

Unexpectedly, the other party would refuse so bluntly. The second uncle was a little embarrassed. "I talked to your mother last time, and she said that she had invested her money."

"I don't care about money. I usually ask my mom for money when I spend money."

Gu Jie shook her head and pushed all the responsibility away, "If she said no, then it definitely didn't happen."

Being rejected by his niece again, the second uncle felt a little confused, but he had expected this result. He turned his eyes to Su Yu again and asked jokingly, "How much is the betrothal gift for your marriage to Xiao Jie?"

Su Yu said: "We are getting married, there is no betrothal gift."

"No dowry?"

The second uncle and second mother were both stunned and confirmed again, "You are getting married without a betrothal gift?"

Gu Jie's voice was confident and righteous, "I am getting married, not like my mother is selling her daughter, why should I ask for a dowry?"

Not only did her mother not ask for a dowry, she also prepared a large and generous dowry for her. However, because of the man's complicated emotional relationships, she insisted on being with him.

As a result, now there is only one Maybach S680 as a dowry, and the rest are all gone.

But it doesn't matter if he's gone, she just loves Su Yu, loves him to the core.

The second uncle sighed and said, "You are rich people, so it doesn't matter whether you want a betrothal gift or not."

"Whether we want a dowry or not has nothing to do with whether we are rich or not."

Su Yu said: "It's just our attitude towards life."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Xiaoxia who was sitting not far away, "Sister Wu, when Zheng Qiqi gets married in the future, does she need a dowry?"

Wu Xiaoxia shook her head. "As long as my daughter likes it and lives happily in the future, I don't want a dowry."

Looking at his second uncle, Su Yu smiled and spread his hands, "Look, isn't it related to being rich or not?"

The second uncle smiled awkwardly, "It really doesn't matter."

He also has a daughter, and when she got married, she asked for a dowry of 80,000 yuan.

Picking up the teacup, Su Yu took a sip of hot tea, "Uncle and Aunt, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Serving tea to guests is the default rule.

"that……"

"Su Yu..."

But the second uncle was thick-skinned and had a determination to achieve his goal. "You are a big boss, can you lend me some money for your brother's wedding?"

Putting down the teacup, Su Yu smiled and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Er Niang seemed to see the dawn of victory, "Not much, one million will be enough."

Su Yu frowned slightly, "How much?"

Second Mother looked at her husband, Second Uncle licked his lips and said, "One million!"

Su Yu wanted to laugh, "Do you know how much one million is?"

The second uncle said, "You are a big boss, you have opened so many chain stores, one million is not a lot for you."

Su Yu said calmly: "The bank has so much money, one million is nothing to them."

The second uncle said, "The money in the bank belongs to the country, right?"

"My money, that's mine too!"

Su Yu nodded, "You ask me to borrow one million, he asks me to borrow one million, who should I borrow one million from?"

The second uncle said, "This is your brother's wedding, otherwise we wouldn't have asked for this."

Su Yu shook his head, "No."

After failing to borrow money, Er Niang couldn't help but say, "We have the nerve to ask you young people for money, what else do you want?"

"If you are thick-skinned, you can get a million. How easy is it to make money?"

Su Yu smiled, "Tell me, where is such a good thing, and I am so shameless?"

Er Niang glared at him and said, "It's not like we won't pay you back, why are you so stingy?"

"return?"

Su Yu shook his head, "What are you going to give me back?"

"Of course, let Xiaofeng and Lili pay it back."

Er Niang revealed her true purpose, "Wait until they get married, and arrange a job for them. When the time comes, the money they owe will be deducted from their salary."

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, "Each person gets 20,000 yuan a month. You just need to deduct 10,000 yuan a month to pay them back. Otherwise, they won't have a good life."

"I'll pay you 120,000 a year, and it will be paid off in less than ten years."

Facing her extremely charitable relatives, Gu Jie wanted to laugh, but at the same time she felt a little embarrassed. "Second uncle and second aunt, please stop talking. I don't have the money, and I won't lend it to you."

Er Niang's face looked unhappy. "Really not lending it to me?"

Gu Jie nodded, "No!"

The next second, Er Niang's tears flowed out and she slapped her thighs hard with her hands.

"Clap--"

"Gu Jie, you are a heartless person."

"I was so good to you when we were little, but now that you're capable, you're so ungrateful and don't remember our friendship at all."

"I don't remember you being nice to me."

Faced with the rural woman's last resort, Gu Jie remained unmoved and said calmly: "I only remember that one time when you were frying crispy meat at home, you deliberately called me outside the door, and then closed the door, leaving me alone outside in the cold wind!"

The sad and grief-stricken expression on her face froze, and Er Niang thought for a while, but couldn't remember anything.

Because of this kind of thing, she did it too much.

If there is anything delicious at home, I hide it and eat it myself.

And it's not just her who does this, others do it too.

But she doesn't know.

How much harm did her action cause to the young Gu Jie?

Even after all these years, she still remembers the feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

Is crispy meat worth the money?
Worthless.

After returning to Furong City, she asked her mother to fry crispy pork for her and ate it until she vomited.

But the feeling of being deliberately alienated by relatives was really heartbreaking, like a knife cutting her. This was also the first time she experienced the fickleness of human nature and that her father's relatives were unreliable.

Instead, she went to her grandmother’s house.

She was treated like a treasure and was given all the delicious food first.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

If her uncle asked, she would lend him ten million, not to mention one million.

But will her uncle open his mouth?
Over the years, I have never asked them for money.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that her uncle opened a clinic and the income is relatively stable.

Although it is hard work, I can still earn two to three million yuan a year, and live a rich life with no shortage of money to spend.

But her father's relatives treated her family as enemies and asked for money without hesitation, often hundreds of thousands or even millions.

From the beginning to the end, they only thought about how to spend the money once they got it, but never thought about how to repay the money once they borrowed it.
It is just like the famous saying on the Internet, "You borrow money based on your ability, why should you pay it back?"

Feeling that Hongniang was suddenly a little excited, Su Yu patted her back gently and said lightly: "That's it for today, we need to rest."

Second Uncle and Second Mother looked at each other and could only stand up helplessly.

If I can’t borrow the money, what should I do about my son’s marriage?
Wu Xiaoxia helped to send the person out, and then closed the door, "Boss Su, Miss Gu, I'm going back to my room. Call me if you need anything."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister Wu, there's nothing to do today, you can go to bed early."

When the nanny returned to the room, Gu Jie hugged the man tightly, feeling extremely attached and safe. "I don't want to come over with these relatives anymore."

Su Yu smiled and said, "If we don't want to have any contact, then we can just visit grandma more often."

Gu Jie nodded, "Yeah!"

Su Yu picked up Hongniang by the waist and walked into the room. "Let's go to bed early. We will visit the remaining relatives tomorrow and then go back."

Lying on the bed, Gu Jie rarely had the thought of getting tangled up with a man. "They just asked for a million. I don't know how they had the nerve to ask for it."

"To them, our family is just stupid and rich, and this money was blown by the wind."

Su Yu smiled and said, "If I open my mouth and only borrow a few tens of thousands of dollars, then wouldn't it be in vain to open my mouth?"

Gu Jie sighed, "They borrowed money without even thinking about paying it back."

Su Yu is well aware of the ugliness of human nature. "If you really lend them this one million, not only will they not be grateful to you, but they will curse you behind your back."

Gu Jie nodded in agreement, "It's as if our family owes them something."

"Of course, he would scold us if we didn't lend it to him!"

Su Yu coaxed Hongniang to be happy, "It's just that we borrowed it, and they were proud of scolding us."

"If we don't lend it to you, you will just curse at us in anger!"

Gu Jie couldn't help but want to laugh, "Then let them get mad!"

……

The next day, Su Yu and Gu Jie visited all the remaining relatives as planned, gave them gift boxes, and told them about their marriage.

Then we drove back to Furong City.

They have done what they should do.

We even gave them the travel expenses, so it’s up to them whether they come or not.

The two of them are getting married, and these people are not important at all.

When we returned to Furong City, it was already evening.

The mother-in-law came to the villa early and prepared dinner with Hu Xiaoying, waiting for them to come back to eat.

Knowing that her son-in-law had been wronged, the mother-in-law Song Wanqing considerately cooked a big pot of delicious chicken soup.

She comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Although she has not learned medical skills, she is quite good at making soup.

Su Yu just took a sip and kept praising, "Mom, this soup is well made. It's not inferior to those chefs out there."

Song Wanqing smiled and said, "If you like to drink, drink more."

While eating, Gu Jie complained, "Mom, I won't go to my grandparents' house anymore."

Song Wanqing spoke without any scruples, "Your grandparents passed away, and you didn't go?"

Gu Jie pursed her lips and said, "I will go when my grandparents pass away."

Song Wanqing said calmly: "I have seen through those relatives a long time ago. None of them can be trusted."

Gu Jie nodded, "I've seen through it a long time ago."

Su Yu said: "If you see through it, just have less contact with us. From now on, we can just live our own lives."

Song Wanqing looked at her son-in-law, "You and Gu Jie will be getting married in more than a month. How have you notified your relatives?"

Understanding what his mother-in-law meant, Su Yu smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to test me."

"I didn't test you."

Everyone is smart. Song Wanqing said, "My daughter is marrying you. I won't mention getting a marriage certificate, but you should notify your relatives, right?"

Su Yu nodded, "I won't invite relatives who are too far away, but there are still seven or eight tables."

When she heard seven or eight tables, Song Wanqing finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, "I don't have many people here, so I arranged more than eighty tables."

Su Yu smiled and rolled his eyes, "Mom, more than 80 tables is not a lot, so how many is a lot?"

"I have accumulated a lot of connections over the years. When I marry my daughter, they will naturally come to support me."

Song Wanqing said: "If everyone is notified, I'm afraid we'll have to seat two or three hundred tables."

Su Yu felt overwhelmed after hearing this. "More than 80 tables, so that's it."

Song Wanqing looked at her daughter and said, "If you have any friends, call them over."

Gu Jie nodded, "I don't have many friends, at most I can sit at three or four tables."

Her circle of friends basically overlaps with her mother's, consisting of just some classmates and friends.

Looking at Wu Xiaoxia, Su Yu said, "Sister Wu, I won't tell anyone in the company about my marriage to Gu Jie."

"Zheng Qiqi is not an outsider. When the time comes, ask her to come to the villa to help, and we can have a meal together."

Wu Xiaoxia was delighted that her boss did not treat her and her daughter as outsiders, and quickly agreed, "I'll tell her on New Year's Day."

"Next year, the company will give each employee a formal rating."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Different employees will enjoy different salary and benefits, and the company will expand further in time."

"Zheng Qiqi is quite capable. I will promote her to an important position as appropriate."

Wu Xiaoxia was extremely grateful, "Thank you, President Su."

Su Yu smiled and said, "I've already said that you are not outsiders."

Looking at Hongniang's belly, he continued, "Next year, the baby in Gu Jie's belly will be born. You need to pay more attention to it."

"Boss Su, don't worry!"

Wu Xiaoxia quickly stated, "I will definitely be fully alert and will not be negligent in the slightest."

"Sister Wu, don't be too stressed."

Gu Jie touched her belly and said, "We are not that precious. Just be careful."

Knowing that the host was a reasonable person, Wu Xiaoxia smiled and said, "I have helped people take care of children before. When children are just born, they are weak and have low immunity. The most important thing is not to be too cold or too hot. The temperature must be balanced so that they are not prone to getting sick."

Song Wanqing said: "When the time comes, you can just focus on taking care of the child. We will hire a nanny for other chores."

Wu Xiaoxia nodded, "Okay!"

When taking care of a child, you cannot be distracted and must keep an eye on him at all times.

Moreover, many children do not sleep at night, cry and make a fuss, making it very tiring to take care of them.

But I’m not afraid of being tired.

Boss Su Yu pays high salary and offers good benefits.

And most importantly, my daughter also has a future.

If she works harder as a mother, she can give her daughter more confidence.

When you get married in the future, you don’t have to worry about the feelings of your in-laws.
