Chapter 288: 089: Also Out of My League!_6

Her son was the most outstanding man in the world, not only handsome but also a top scholar!

And who is Lin Guixiang?

Nothing but unwanted second-hand goods.

The more Gui Lanzhi thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could confront Lin Guixiang directly.

Lin Guimei immediately spoke up, "Grandma Gui, please don’t be angry, she’s just considering it. With Brother Mingtao’s excellent conditions, there’s no reason for my older sister to look down on him. How about this, give me three more days, and I’ll get back to you with an answer, okay?"

She felt that Lin Guixiang didn’t truly want to refuse Gui Mingtao; she just wanted to play hard to get.

Gui Lanzhi glared at Lin Guimei, and snapped angrily, "Gui Mei, you’ve been married in Qing City for so many years, I thought you were reliable, but I didn’t expect you can’t even handle such a small matter!"

Gui Mingqing immediately took her mother’s hand, "Mom, don’t be angry, this has nothing to do with Gui Mei. Besides, it’s normal for a girl’s family to put on airs."

As she finished speaking, Gui Mingqing turned to Lin Guimei, "Gui Mei, is it possible your sister wants a dowry but is too embarrassed to say so, which is why she’s asking to consider it?"

Beyond that, Gui Mingqing couldn’t think of any other reason.

Lin Guimei was startled and thought there might be some truth to Gui Mingqing’s words.

Gui Mingqing narrowed her eyes and continued, "Gui Mei, you know the customs of Qing City too, and only a woman marrying for the first time would receive a dowry. After all, your sister is marrying for the second time, and her background isn’t great. To be honest, for her to marry a local man from Qing City is already a tremendous fortune. If she harbors too many illusions, she’ll end up with nothing. "

Halting for a moment, Gui Mingqing added, "However, our families are relatives, after all. If your sister agrees to marry my brother, that would make us even closer family. In that case, if she agrees, our family is willing to offer a dowry of twenty thousand yuan and transfer your sister’s and your niece’s household registration over right after the wedding. What do you think?"

A Qing City household registration is not something one can easily obtain.

Many people from out of town who manage to marry a local from Qing City can’t immediately transfer their household registration; their family’s offer to do so for Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu post-wedding was a tremendous sign of respect to Lin Guixiang.

Hearing this, Lin Guimei smiled and said, "Great, great. I’m really busy today, I’ll find time to talk to her tomorrow, and then pick a good day to settle everything."

With the Gui Family willing to offer a dowry and proactively transfer the household registrations of Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu, what more could Lin Guixiang ask for?

Gui Mingqing nodded, "Right, where is your sister living now?"

"On Wutong Road, near our old family house there."

Gui Mingqing smiled, "Then find a time to take me and my mom to visit her at home."

"Sure," Lin Guimei agreed.

Eight o’clock.

Lin Guimei took a group of relatives to the most upscale restaurant nearby for dinner.

During the meal, she made a point of seating Grandma Gui and Gui Mingqing at the same table as Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu.

Zhao Cuinong and Mother Zhao were also at this table.

While Mother Zhao was enjoying her meal, she couldn’t help but glance at Gui Lanzhi, feeling a bit strange, and whispered, "Cui Nong, why is that old hag across there staring at your aunt non-stop?"

And it was with an ill-intentioned look.

Zhao Cuinong narrowed her eyes, "My second sister wants to introduce my aunt to her son."

"No wonder," Mother Zhao said while taking a bite of duck leg, "Your aunt needs to keep her eyes wide open. This old woman has a mean look about her and doesn’t seem like a good person. Your aunt picked the wrong guy for her first marriage, and if she does the same for the second one, it won’t be defensible."

Picked the wrong person in the first marriage and got abandoned.

If she picks the wrong person in the second marriage and ends up divorced again, it would tarnish her reputation.

Zhao Cuinong whispered, "Don’t worry, Mom, my aunt hasn’t agreed at all."

Mother Zhao nodded, "In any case, this family is no good."

Gui Lanzhi’s gaze continually assessed Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu.

This mother and daughter lacked such awareness.

Especially Lin Guixiang.

She was about to marry into their family and didn’t even know to curry favor, not to mention offer a toast.

Country folks remain country folks.

Lacking manners.

And then there was Lin Wu.

Seeing her, she didn’t even know to call out ’Grandma,’ showing absolutely no breeding.

Guixiang obviously hadn’t taught her properly.

Just wait.

Once Lin Guixiang marries into their family, as the mother-in-law, as the grandmother, she must teach Lin Wu what manners and breeding are all about.

After the meal.

Uncharacteristically, Lin Guimei personally saw Lin Guixiang and the others off to the car.
