Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter

Chapter 558: Chapter 559 - Everything is as Precious as Gold

The Little Princess was already on her second piece of red dates cake.

"Thank you." Only then did Sanni extend her hands to receive the gift, politely and softly expressing her gratitude.

Seeing that all of the children from the Chen Family were well-behaved and courteous, the Lu Family elders grew increasingly confident that their adult counterparts would possess similar qualities and values.

One must fear not poverty, but ignorance!

Why do the rural areas lag behind the cities? Because so many backward-thinking rural people believe education is useless!

At mealtimes, the usual scramble for meat among the children was nowhere in sight.

During the New Year, food is more abundant than usual, and they had been specifically reminded by their elders to behave modestly in the presence of guests.

Thus, by the end of the meal, the mindsets of the Lu Family elders had settled: if their daughter wanted to marry, they’d let her!

Though the Chen Family was quite distant, upon careful observation, they seemed a fitting family for her to marry into.

Chen Jianjun was tall and strapping, a permanent worker, and being a former soldier, he was more responsible than other men.

His parents and sisters-in-law were all easy to get along with, and free of the coarse habits typical in rural people.

So they started to broach the subject: "Since we have the opportunity, let’s discuss the children’s marriage arrangements!"

They had come for this very purpose. Their plan was to look out for their daughter’s interests, with the understanding that if this family didn’t measure up, they’d certainly not let her marry into it upon their return from dinner!

Seeing that the Chen Family folks were quite good, they thought it best to confirm then and there. After all, their own daughter wasn’t getting any younger.

With them finally giving their assent, so it was that the marriage of Chen Jianjun and Lu Xiaofen was settled!

A look of joy appeared on Ma Xiulian’s face: "Done. If you have any requests, we will do our best to fulfill them."

Chen Dazhu sitting on the side, also silently nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiaofen’s face reddened slightly. She held Helian Qiao in her arms, grounding herself with the faint milky scent of the baby.

Chen Jianjun was also unusually uncomfortable.

Helian Qiao, who didn’t like being casually picked up, wriggled her bottom a little but did not resist, considering Lu Xiaofen was her father’s wife-to-be.

The Little Master remained quietly holding her small hand all along.

Upon hearing Ma Xiulian’s words, the Lu Family elders straightforwardly said, "Xiaofen’s dowry will be as per the regular urban standard: an accompanying dowry of an electric fan, a watch, and a sewing machine. As for the bride price, you folks can also use your local standard."

All of these were dowry items they had long planned to prepare for their daughter, regardless of the hefty or light bride price given by the Chen Family.

Upon hearing this, the younger generation of the Chen Family took in a deep breath. My, these items were expensive!

The idea of presenting all these valuable items in the dowry at once, urban people were indeed wealthy!

Ma Xiulian, who had done her research beforehand, was mentally prepared and calmly said, "We have prepared a bicycle and a radio for the bride price."

Even though their circumstances were not as good as the Lu Family, she did not wish to take advantage of them.

Moreover, she was very pleased with Lu Xiaofen in every respect.

Not only was she attractive and had a good personality, but she was also a primary school teacher. That was indeed an unexpected bonus.

The reason she didn’t mention any cash for the bride price was because urban people didn’t usually give cash gifts. Instead, both families added to the couple’s property as needed.

Urban people are well-off and didn’t need the extra money.

The younger generation took in another sharp breath: their mother was equally generous too!

Hold on!

The bride price must have been paid by Chen Jianjun himself, the parents wouldn’t be so biased.
