Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 1189: Dowry

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Dowry

Ruan Feng said with some guilt, "But this means that when you get married, only Siyuan and I will be able to attend."

Shen Mianmian smiled, "It’s okay, even if she attended, she wouldn’t treat me nicely. It’s better this way, more relaxing."

Seeing that Shen Mianmian wasn’t bothered, Ruan Feng was relieved.

Ruan Yiqian followed with a smile, "Mianmian, it’s good that you can see things that way. Oh right, I don’t have much to give you for your wedding, so I will transfer the apartment Dad currently lives in to your name as your dowry! But Dad still needs to live there for now."

"A whole apartment as dowry?" Shen Mianmian was surprised, "Brother, that’s really generous of you!"

The price of a house in Beijing increases every year; Shen Mianmian didn’t expect Ruan Yiqian to be so generous.

Ruan Yiqian laughed heartily, "When I bought this house, it was intended for you. Dad stayed there because he wanted to be with you. Now that he’s divorced from Mom and wishes to stay closer to Xiaobei, he can only continue living there. But once the property is transferred to your name, the house will be yours."

While saying that, he also made a joke, "After the transfer, the property is yours, and you can even charge Dad rent."

Ruan Yiqian’s joke made Shen Mianmian laugh. She was aware of her family’s circumstances. Now a big shot in the business world, Ruan Yiqian found the price of the apartment a drop in the ocean, whereas for ordinary people it would be sky-high. Shen Mianmian knew that Ruan Yiqian loved her and always felt that he owed her something, hence why he wanted to give her an apartment, to add to her prestige.

Although the He Family wouldn’t mind the value, it would still astonish outsiders to hear that her family had provided a luxurious mansion as dowry.

Therefore, Shen Mianmian didn’t refuse.

Yang Xiaoxi, Cheng Feiyang, and Lu Siyuan were all silently contemplating what kind of wedding gift would be suitable for Shen Mianmian.

Zhu Yun, on the side, had forgotten to eat upon hearing the discussion. An entire courtyard house as dowry?

The Ruan Family is so wealthy and generous to Shen Mianmian—who gives away a house for their daughter’s wedding!

In other people’s weddings, it’s usually the groom who buys a house, not the other way around. It was unexpected that Ruan Feng and Ruan Yiqian would cherish Shen Mianmian so deeply. Zhu Yun couldn’t fathom what good deeds Shen Mianmian must have done to be so fortunate.

Thinking of her own shabby residence and then comparing it with Shen Mianmian’s situation made Zhu Yun lose any taste for the food in her mouth. The difference in people’s fate can be too vast.

With such significant news, Zhu Yun reckoned that at least forty yuan could be asked of her today. With this in mind, she asked cheerfully, "You’ve thought of the dowry. Have you decided on a wedding date yet?"

Hearing this, Ruan Feng said to Shen Mianmian, "Grandfather called me today. I’ll discuss the date with him tomorrow afternoon."

The elderly Mr. He had picked out two dates, just a few days apart, but which specific date to settle on remains undecided.

"Dad, as long as you and grandpa agree on it, both Big Brother He and I have no objections," Shen Mianmian said.

"I have no objections either," He Xiaobei quickly added.

Everyone laughed upon hearing his words.

After happily finishing their meal, Zhu Yun packed up the leftovers.

Ruan Yiqian took Ruan Feng back to his place, but instead of staying there, he said, "I’m going to check on Mom."

"Drive safely, and don’t talk back to her. She might not be in a good mood," Ruan Feng reminded him.

Although they were getting a divorce, Ruan Feng still taught his son to be filial to his mother, as Ruan Lingyu has had a tough time over the years.
