HCB Chapter 113 Wedding Wish List
Chapter 113 Wedding Wish List
Zhao Sulan's list was incredibly comprehensive.
Despite Huang Yingying's thick skin, everyone just watched without saying a word.
It's not just about having a "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese house renovation, a watch, a radio, and a microphone); it's also about having a big house, new furniture, and even five-door cabinets.
Curtains, duvet covers, pillowcases, towels—everything you could need is provided.
New pots and pans, and new clothes, shoes and socks.
They also plan to ask for a dowry of 200 yuan.
Although this is a rural area, Zhao Sulan is asking for prices that are among the highest in the city.
In the village, getting thirty yuan to marry a wife is considered a high price, but Zhao Sulan asked for two hundred.
Su Niannian hasn't seen Zhao Sulan's order yet. If she did, she'd think even a turtle at the wishing well wouldn't dare make such a wish.
"Oh, right, don't forget about face cream and perfume. All the girls in the city use them now," Su Niannian reminded Zhao Sulan, sitting not far away from her.
Zhao Sulan glanced at Su Niannian, then wrote it down on the paper.
She didn't know how to write the character "膏" (gao), so she added a pinyin spelling.
Huang Yingying really couldn't bear to watch anymore; Su Niannian really knew how to stir up trouble.
In this short time, we have already replenished several more items for Zhao Sulan.
I really can't imagine what kind of expression Lu Xingguang will have when he sees this list.
Huang Yingying only hopes that the two of them can get married smoothly and that nothing unexpected will happen.
Thinking about it, I wondered if I should inform Lu Xingguang about this in advance.
Otherwise, seeing a form like this would probably cause my blood pressure to spike.
Lu Xingguang is still sleeping in a room by himself, but it's dark now, so it's definitely not convenient for him to go in.
Let's talk to Lu Xingguang when I deliver the food tomorrow morning.
Thinking about it, Huang Yingying couldn't help but sigh again.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Sulan asked, noticing Huang Yingying's unusual expression.
"It's nothing, I just feel that what you're asking for is a little bit too much," Huang Yingying said softly to Zhao Sulan.
He wanted to subtly suggest that some things could be asked for after marriage, and that asking for too many things at the time of marriage might scare Lu Xingguang.
Zhao Sulan then retorted, "We've already gone through that, he's destined to marry me. Only these things are worthy of his status and make me feel respected!"
The last sentence was what Zhao Sulan said to herself.
Although Zhao Sulan's throat still hurt when she spoke, there were some things she couldn't say, otherwise how could she let Su Niannian and the others envy her?
Huang Yingying couldn't help but rub her forehead.
There's no face left! If Zhao Sulan knew what really happened that night, she'd probably lose all face and dignity.
"Well, as long as you think it's okay," was all Huang Yingying could say.
What else can we say?
Meanwhile, Zhao Sulan was completely absorbed in the fact that she was going to marry Lu Xingguang, the rich young master of a large factory.
I didn't care about anything else, just like making a wish, writing down whatever I wanted.
The words on the list are getting longer and longer.
Su Niannian felt a little regretful that she couldn't see Lu Xingguang's expression when he saw the list.
It must be exciting.
The next morning, Huang Yingying got up early, intending to talk to Lu Xingguang as soon as possible.
After all, Zhao Sulan said that she would show the list to Lu Xingguang as soon as she got up.
Huang Yingying needs to arrive a little earlier.
As a result, Huang Yingying got up early, as did Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi.
With these two around, Huang Yingying had no chance to go to Lu Xingguang's room.
After a while, even more educated youth got up.
Huang Yingying had even less of a chance.
Huang Yingying looked gloomy and disappointed, so she could only go to the kitchen to cook.
Su Niannian whispered to Song Zhaodi that Zhao Sulan's wish list had too many things on it.
I wonder what kind of expression Lu Xingguang will have after seeing this.
"It's bound to be amazing," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Just as the educated youth were cooking in the kitchen, a furious roar came from one of the rooms in the educated youth settlement.
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian knew that she was still quite lucky.
Unexpectedly, this wonderful show actually unfolded right before my eyes.
I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see this good show.
And so, the real show began.
Su Niannian didn't care about breakfast anymore and dragged Song Zhaodi to the front line of gossip.
Many educated youths also arrived outside Lu Xingguang's room at this time.
The gate was open, but the female educated youth still couldn't go in.
Two meddlesome male educated youths did get in.
Through the window, Su Niannian saw Lu Xingguang sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), while Zhao Sulan stood two meters away, looking at the broken ceramic cup on the ground.
There was also a brownish-red liquid on the ground, which looked a bit like prepared malted milk powder.
"Starlight... what's wrong with you?" Zhao Sulan asked, puzzled.
His voice was much better than yesterday, but it was still a bit hoarse and low, sounding like a man's voice.
Lu Xingguang held a piece of paper in his hand, which was covered with writing.
There's also pinyin, and even circles...
The list of things was giving Lu Xingguang a real headache.
Lu Xingguang initially wanted to lash out, but seeing so many onlookers, she forced herself to calm down.
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.
"These things would cost at least a thousand or several hundred thousand. Is this the dowry you want for our marriage?" Lu Xingguang's voice had become somewhat strange.
It's understandable that he reacted this way when asked for over a thousand dollars when a wedding only cost a few dozen dollars.
In this day and age, out of a hundred couples getting married, only a few can afford the three rings and one watch. If Lu Xingguang were to get married normally, his family would definitely be able to provide it for him.
But isn't he planning to secretly get a marriage certificate behind his family's back?
How could they possibly have so many things to produce?
Even if Lu Xingguang could produce all these things, it would still cost around two thousand yuan in total.
Does Zhao Sulan deserve it?
She? Does she even deserve such a low-level dowry?
At that moment, Lu Xingguang truly felt that Huang Yingying, that idiot, had really ruined him.
But now that we've been forced into this situation, not getting married means a completely ruined future.
The onlookers were stunned when they heard that Zhao Sulan was asking for a dowry of several thousand yuan.
Zhao Sulan hadn't expected this.
The fact that Lu Xingguang reacted this way to his "reasonable" requests was astonishing.
If you only get married once in your life, shouldn't you use the best?
Zhao Sulan felt distressed thinking about how she had already given her virginity to Lu Xingguang, and his current attitude made her feel terrible.
When you feel upset, you feel the pain in your body more directly.
Then I felt like crying.
Seeing this, Huang Yingying could only go in and act as a peacemaker, trying to calm both sides down before discussing the matter further.
