Chapter 1074 - Think Too Highly of Herself (1/2)

Ding Jiayi, who had been standing by the side and listening, felt the pinch. Qiao Nan was already marrying well. Why did they still have to prepare the dowry? What c.r.a.ppy dowry? In the past, she did not even have new wedding attire when she married Old Qiao.

Qiao Nan had so many dowries that one courtyard was not enough to accommodate them all. They even had to store them next door. At the thought of this, Ding Jiayi’s expression turned ugly. She very much wished that she could do something to vent her frustration.

It was not just Ding Jiayi. Even Qiao Zijin, who was proud and cheery today, could not hold her smile.

Today, Chen Jun brought his parents to the Qiao family’s residence for dinner and was prepared to formally acknowledge his marriage.

Of course, Father Chen and Mother Chen’s main objective of coming to the small courtyard of the Qiao family was to meet Qiao Nan, who was going to marry into the Zhai family and become the chief’s daughter-in-law soon.

Once their son married Qiao Zijin, he would immediately become Qiao Nan’s brother-in-law. Even Zhai Sheng had to address their son as brother-in-law when he met him. Their relations.h.i.+p would be very close then!

The Chen family wished to become a.s.sociated with the Zhai family. Nevertheless, they did not mind having more connections either. If they could also interact with the Zhu family, that would be better.

Today, the two families were clearly meeting to discuss Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun’s marriage but the Zhu family appeared. After thinking, Father Chen said, “You didn’t mention it earlier. So, the little niece is getting married. It’s fine that we were not aware of this. We are going to be one family in the future. Since I am aware that she is getting married now, as her uncle, I certainly have to give her some dowry.”

Didn’t they say that Qiao Nan was going to be married to the Zhai family from the Zhu family?

When he arranged dowry for Qiao Nan and sent them to the Zhu family’s residence, he would be able to get to know the Zhu family then, no?

His son had worked hard for so long but only managed to gain w.a.n.g Yang’s favor. He did so much but did not gain much in the end. Instead, he suffered a huge loss.

w.a.n.g Yang was just borrowing the glory of the Zhu family. This time, the Chen family could simply cast w.a.n.g Yang aside and interact with the Zhu family directly.

The person from the Zhu family took a glance at Father Chen. He did not respond.

Qiao Dongliang waved his hands continuously. “No, no need. You’re being too polite.”

Qiao Dongliang had not forgotten that he did not fork out a single cent for the dowry that the Zhu family was referring to.

His younger daughter was going to be married but he could not provide any dowry. When his elder daughter was getting married, he definitely could not give much either. At most, the situation would only be slightly better.

In terms of family background, the Qiao family was also considered to have found a better family if Chen Jun were to marry Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Dongliang could not even present a decent dowry. How dared he allow the Chen family to spend money to add on to Qiao Nan’s dowry?

He could not help worrying that the Chen family would feel unhappy when his elder daughter did not bring many dowries with her the day she married Chen Jun. Even if he were to sell his blood, he could not arrange a dowry that was on par with that of the Chen family.

“Why is that so? When Chen Jun marries Zijin, we will all become family. You can also treat us as relatives now. Besides providing dowry, I want to give a large red packet too.” Chen Jun was smiling very happily. Qiao Zijin was not capable but she had a capable younger sister.

It did not matter that the Qiao family was useless. They would not be shortchanged in this marriage.

“Comrade Qiao, if there is no other matter, I will go back first. Right, don’t forget to check with Director s.h.i.+. Give us a call after you have confirmed the place so that I can get people to send the items to the designated location.” The person from the Zhu family was unwilling to remain at the small courtyard of the Qiao family and waste his time.

If not for Qiao Nan, the Zhu family would not have the chance to step into the small courtyard of the Qiao family.

Qiao Dongliang’s expression turned stiff. Although the att.i.tude of the Zhu family was not very friendly, he could not lose his temper either. “It’s been tough on you. Don’t worry. I will give you an answer soon.”
