Chapter 282: Betrothal Gifts Can Only Be Eighty-eight Thousand Eight Hundred
Hao Yun Lai hadn’t reacted yet, but the audience had already guessed.
【 Hahahaha, was Qingqing’s cooking too bad? 】
【 Laughing so hard, even dogs wouldn’t want the food sisters make 】
Hao Yun Lai looked at the bullet comments, still not quite believing, and shook her head, saying, “It shouldn’t be that my cooking is bad. If it were bad, my husband definitely wouldn’t be able to eat it, but my husband always finishes it.”
She thought for a moment, then added, “Lailai probably just isn’t used to the food I make.”
“Sigh, speaking of this, it’s all your husband’s fault.” Lailai was extremely helpless, “If his hand wasn’t injured, why would I have to eat your cooking? Even dogs wouldn’t eat it!”
Hao Yun Lai heard Lailai, who was in her arms, yelping, and looked up to ask Jiang Yuan on the screen, “Streamer, what is Lailai saying?”
Jiang Yuan raised her hand and ran a hand through her hair, raising an eyebrow and asking, “Qingqing, do you want to hear the truth?”
“Yes, I definitely want to hear the truth.” Hao Yun Lai nodded.
“Then be prepared.”
“Do I need to prepare for this? Streamer, just say it.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan’s lips curved slightly, and she said slowly, “Lailai hasn’t had an appetite lately, and it’s true that it doesn’t have an appetite, but the reason it doesn’t have an appetite is because your cooking is too terrible.”
Hao Yun Lai blinked, completely embarrassed.
【 Although this is not good, I still want to laugh hahaha 】
【 Hao Yun Lai can’t cook, this also indirectly shows how happy she is. If her husband wasn’t injured, she wouldn’t have to do housework!!! 】
【 Wuwuwu, the smile that had just lifted fell again. What right do I have to laugh at her! 】
Hao Yun Lai frowned slightly, asking doubtfully, “But the food I make for my husband is similar to what Lailai eats, and my husband finishes it every meal.”
Lailai sighed, “Sigh, your husband eats it with tears in his eyes. I’d rather eat dog food.”
Jiang Yuan heard the little Corgi’s words, her eyes curved slightly, and she said with amusement, “Qingqing, you should stop cooking too. Just feed Lailai dog food recently.”
“Is my cooking really that bad?” Hao Yun Lai murmured.
Jiang Yuan: “Haven’t you eaten it yourself?”
Hao Yun Lai shook her head: “I order takeout for myself, because my husband is injured, and the doctor advised him to eat lightly, but I have a heavy palate…”
“Then you can try cooking your own food tomorrow.” Jiang Yuan said with a smile, “Then you’ll know how terrible it really is.”
Hao Yun Lai: “…”
【 Laughing so hard, the streamer is saying the most heartless things in the gentlest tone 】
【 Hahaha, the streamer is already very tactful~~ 】
“Thank you, streamer.” Hao Yun Lai thanked her, went offline, and gave a reward of a cute cake.
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, “Then I’ll continue connecting.”
A netizen with the ID “Mai Mai” connected to the live stream room. A face with baby fat appeared in the split screen, looking very cute.
Mai Mai smiled at the camera, dimples appearing on her cheeks, “Hello Yuan Yuan, hello sisters in the live stream room!”
“Hello Mai Mai.” Jiang Yuan felt that she looked very young and casually asked, “Mai Mai, are you an adult?”
Mai Mai’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, and she explained, “I’m twenty-five this year.”
【 Twenty-five years old!? You can’t tell at all! 】
【 You look so young, I also thought Mai Mai wasn’t an adult yet 】
Mai Mai smiled shyly, “Maybe it’s because my face is a bit chubby.”
“Chubby faces are very cute.” Jiang Yuan let out a light laugh, “Mai Mai, do you have a pet? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“My pet is a little rabbit.” A hint of sadness appeared on Mai Mai’s face, “The matter I’m about to talk about… might be a bit embarrassing. It’s a relationship problem.”
“Then what are you planning to do?” Jiang Yuan gently asked, “Do you need to resolve it privately?”
Mai Mai hesitated for a few seconds, then finally shook her head, “No, let’s resolve it here. I also want to hear advice from other sisters in the live stream room.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan nodded, respecting her decision, “Is there anything you need me to communicate with the little rabbit about?”
“It’s like this,” Mai Mai said, “My boyfriend and I are at the stage of discussing marriage. Recently, his parents came to Yun Jing to meet my parents.”
“When they met my parents, they said they would give 168,800 yuan as betrothal gifts and spend 120,000 yuan on the five metals for the wedding.”
“Although my parents thought it was too little, they agreed because they saw how much I liked my boyfriend.”
“By the way, my family is preparing to give a house in Lin Jing as a dowry, a car worth around 500,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan in cash. However, my boyfriend’s family doesn’t know this yet.”
Jiang Yuan listened to her speak, her expression serious, “Mai Mai, your family’s conditions are very good.”
“Compared to my boyfriend’s family, it should be considered quite good.” Mai Mai smiled modestly.
Jiang Yuan: “Then you continue.”
The smile on Mai Mai’s face immediately disappeared, and her tone was dejected, “My parents returned to Lin Jing the day before yesterday, and last night my boyfriend’s parents changed their tune, saying they could only give 88,800 yuan as betrothal gifts and only 100,000 yuan for the five metals.”
【 What the heck, what does that mean? The betrothal gifts were halved? 】
【 Given Mai Mai’s conditions, even 168,800 is considered little 】
【 But the groom’s family doesn’t know the bride’s family is giving so much as a dowry 】
【 They agreed and then changed their minds, it’s very disrespectful 】
【 So, does the groom’s family actually have the ability to afford 300,000? 】
Mai Mai frowned, “My boyfriend has over a million yuan in savings, so he is completely capable of taking out 300,000 yuan for the wedding.”
Jiang Yuan also slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows, “Mai Mai, do you want to know why the groom’s family suddenly changed their minds?”
“Yes.” Mai Mai nodded solemnly, “My boyfriend’s parents said they are reducing this amount to buy a house for my boyfriend and me in Yun Jing. I don’t believe it.”
【 I don’t believe it either 】
【 Hahaha, +1 on not believing it 】
【 Is reducing it by 100,000 yuan enough to buy a house? 】
“I’ll ask for you.” Jiang Yuan said softly, “Let me see the rabbit.”
Mai Mai walked a few steps with her phone and flipped the camera, “His name is Du Du.”
Jiang Yuan saw a gray-and-white lop-eared rabbit sitting under the coffee table, and a gentle smile bloomed in her eyes, “So cute.”
【 Mommy, it looks so much like the rabbit plushie at my home! 】
【 Rabbits are so cute, rabbit heads must be spicy 】
【 Are you a devil upstairs? 】
“Du Du,” Mai Mai called out, but Du Du ignored her.
She had no choice but to grab a handful of Du Du’s favorite snacks to attract him, “Du Du, there’s something delicious.”
Du Du, who had been meditating under the coffee table, finally reacted. He jumped to Mai Mai’s front, looking at her with his two black, pearl-like eyes filled with expectation.
“Du Du, here’s some delicious food for you, and then can you talk to the pretty sister on the phone for a while?” Mai Mai fed him the snack.
Du Du’s three-lobed mouth crunched on the delicious snack, and after finishing, he looked at Mai Mai and said, “I want more!”
“Du Du, do you know Mai Mai?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Du Du blinked, made a grunting sound, and said, “Mai Mai is my owner, Mai Mai is the owner.”
