”Is this why you have come today? I've decided to propose to your daughter and want to marry her. I've come here today to give her a betrothal gift, although I have no idea what the customs in your village are. ”But I truly like my daughter. If there's anything that is lacking in etiquette, please forgive me!”

These words were spoken in one breath, without any change in expression. The faces of relatives, friends, neighbors, and those who wanted to watch the show all changed.

There was even a girl from the neighborhood who was talking to her parents in a low voice, but my hearing was so good that I accidentally overheard it.

”Isn't this Aunt Zhang's daughter? Why do I remember that she had an ordinary appearance and that her job was very ordinary? Why did she bring back such a handsome boyfriend after just one trip into the city? Is that for real or fake? ”

Alright, seeing that my mood isn't too bad today, I will let this matter go. Furthermore, that girl looks to be only 15 or 16 years old.

I guess a lot of people in the village thought that I wouldn't be able to find a boyfriend even if I entered the city, which was why my parents were in such a hurry and kept pressing me every day.

Hearing this, my mother was overjoyed. She didn't expect that not only did she bring a boyfriend, but she also immediately asked him to marry her.

Looking at the handsome and well-mannered young master of the future, my mother's face broke into a smile.

”Aiya, so you guys have developed so quickly. It seems like the last time you guys came back, it wasn't a long time ago, but that's good too. My daughter isn't young anymore. If you don't get married now, it will all be in your hands!”

Is this really my mother? To say such words in such a public place, what did it mean to be struck by the hand? I can't seem to get married...

Zhang Ziyuan's face was still very serious, ”That won't happen, Aunt, Su Su is the best girl I've ever seen. It was an accident that we met. At that time, I felt that this was the person that I was destined to find. Being with him is the greatest fortune of my life. Please agree to our marriage! ”

He handed me a box. He didn't discuss it with me, and I didn't know what was in it. With his unconventional aesthetic, what if there was something strange for him to use as a betrothal gift in public? Wouldn't it mean that he would let others gossip about him?

My heart beat like a drum as he solemnly handed it over. Forget it, even if he used something as a betrothal gift, my mother would still be happy if she could marry me out.

Unexpectedly, my mother took the sandalwood box and opened it on the spot. All the villagers who could see the contents of the boxes were alarmed.

My hand was already covering my eyes, and when I heard their cries of alarm, I took it off again and examined the contents of the box.

Looking at the betrothal gift that Zhang Ziyuan gave me, I was confused for a moment …

What was dazzling gold and silver were not gold and silver, but jade and jewelry … Perhaps the people at the side could still not see it, but with a single glance, I could tell that the items inside were all antique treasures and were priceless. Just by taking one out, I would be able to buy the entire village.

What is Zhang Ziyuan doing? I want to be with him, not take out such a precious betrothal gift, and make my mother feel like she's selling off her daughter.

What made me even more surprised was that my mother actually put away the wooden box with a smile on her face, ”Aiya, you came all the way here and even brought such a precious gift. Seriously, from now on we are family, don't be so polite.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't stop him anymore. I went up to him, grabbed his clothes, and whispered to him, ”We are all ordinary rural families. We can just take out the betrothal gift, can't you? ”I was supposed to be kept in the city as a mistress by others …”

”Don't talk nonsense, there's even a betrothal gift after becoming a mistress?” With my posture, I am clearly the legal and proper wife. Who dares to say that you are Little San, I will beat her to death! ”

”But, you are too valuable …”

”To me, all of this is just worldly possessions. It's just a greeting gift for your parents, what is it? ”Don't think too much into it. I can only promise you that you will never go back on your word.”

I turned my head to look at the expressions of my neighbors and friends. Some were happy, some were depressed, some were surprised, and some were even confused. They probably couldn't figure out what had happened.

”Oh, child, what is your name? Oh yes, Zhang Ziyuan, right? Look at my brain... When are you planning to get married? I feel that the day to choose is not as good as the day to strike. I will look at the calendar now and see which day is suitable for marriage.

My mother felt that it was as if she was afraid that Zhang Ziyuan would go back on his word and quickly kicked me out to finish everything. Now that I see a ghost, I feel like I've kissed her even more than if I had seen me. I've been chatting with Zhang Ziyuan and yet I didn't care about me.

”Mom, we haven't eaten since morning. Can you cook for us first? We can talk later.”

After hearing what I said, my mother finally reacted, ”Oh wow, I'm so happy now. I forgot about what I was doing. It's almost noon, you guys wait here. I'll quickly prepare some food for you guys.”

When Mom and Dad went into the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. Looking left and right, he felt that he was missing one person, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Big Brother Fu, Shaowugo, Yue Feng, Xiao Cui, Zi Lang, everyone seemed to be here, so who was the missing person …
