Chapter 740: Raising the Price (2)
"Okay, okay, grandma, I was wrong." Aunt Wu responded with a smile. The more she looked at Yang Yuxiang, the more she liked him.
Especially when he called her "Grandma" in that soft and cute way, she felt her heart melt.
"Oh, I don't know when I can hold my grandson in my arms." Aunt Wu sighed heavily, feeling melancholy.
Aunt Li and Aunt Ji looked at each other, and Aunt Li spoke first. "Isn't your son going to be engaged soon?"
"Yes! I just heard you say that aren't you afraid that Wu Mengniang will be discovered in your house and it will ruin the situation? Now that Wu Mengniang has moved out, why hasn't the marriage been settled yet?" Ji Xiaomu asked in confusion.
"Don't say anymore. The girl said that if she marries in, Old Wu and I must divide the property for them and send the youngest son away." Aunt Wu sighed.
"When did you say that?" Aunt Li frowned and asked.
"Just now, the matchmaker took the two of them to meet for the second time today. As a result, after the woman found out that Wu Gang liked her, she suddenly changed her mind and said she wanted an additional betrothal gift, and that she wanted to give Wu Lei away after the marriage." Aunt Wu was a little angry as she spoke.
"Wu Gang just came back and told me that he asked the third girl from the Xu family whether it was her idea or her family's. The girl didn't say anything and just said she would listen to her parents." Aunt Wu said. When she took Yang Yuxiang to find Niu Xiaoliu and the others, Wu Gang happened to come back from the date. He told her the girl's conditions and asked her what to do.
It seemed like Wu Gang was about to agree, but she felt uncomfortable.
"It's not that I don't want to split up the family, but she wants to control our family before we even get married. She's stretching her hand a little too far." Aunt Wu was angry at the third daughter of the Xu family. "I didn't realize that the girl was so scheming when we first met. When Wu Gang came back, he just told me that he liked her."
"I didn't expect that just when the plan was about to be made, the Xu family changed their minds. They insisted on changing the original two taels of betrothal gift to ten taels. They also said that after getting married, the family must be divided, and asked me to separate Wu Lei. In their retirement, they will provide me and Old Wu with 300 kilograms of grain and two taels of silver every year." After Aunt Wu finished speaking, Aunt Li became angry.
"She was sure that Wu Gang liked her, so she wanted to subdue him before the marriage!" Aunt Li snorted coldly, "If it wasn't that girl's idea, I wouldn't believe it."
"There are so many tricks to physiognomy?" Mother Ji asked curiously. She was not really familiar with the tricks involved.
After hearing Aunt Li and Aunt Wu define the third daughter of the Xu family as a scheming woman in just a few words, Ji Xiaou was stunned.
"You girl, you are usually smart, but you know nothing about these things." Aunt Li looked at Ji Xiaou with amusement and said that she was smart and could manage everything inside and outside and did things impeccably, but the only thing was that she really didn't understand anything about what a woman should know.
"That girl from the Xu family doesn't like my Wu Gang." Aunt Wu explained to Ji Xiaomu. "But she likes the conditions of my family. If I can satisfy her in terms of conditions, she is willing to marry Wu Gang. Do you understand?"
"How can you analyze so much from such a small thing? How do you know that she doesn't like Brother Wu?" Ji Xiaomu was even more surprised.
"If she also likes my Wu Gang, then she won't let his parents change their minds. Wu Gang is so stubborn that he must have told her that he would not marry anyone but her, otherwise how could she be so bold?" Aunt Wu said angrily.
