"Yes." Tang Zhengde responded, but the topic jumped too quickly, leaving him unsure how to continue.
"Then you are..." Mrs. Guo looked towards Wang Aihua beside her and asked, "Who exactly are Tang Xian’s parents?"
"I am Tang Xian’s father." Tang Zhengyuan stepped forward and said, "In this matter, it’s our Tang Xian who was in the wrong."
Ever since Tang Zhengyuan started following Tang Zhengde and the others, plus the fact that he could earn money, he was no longer as careful and calculating as before.
"I am Tang Xian’s mother." Wang Aihua spoke, "These are Tang Xian’s second uncle and aunt."
"Just tell us, what should we do now?" Wang Aihua said, "How much is the surgery?"
Wang Aihua looked at Tang Xian, who shook his head and then looked towards Tang Yue.
Tang Yue took out all the invoices, and when Wang Aihua saw the prices, she winced in pain, but still said, "We will pay for the hospital fees, but..."
"Tang Xian’s mom, this first child of ours was also Tang Xian’s, and though it’s gone, we are very heartbroken, but since the two of them love each other, in my opinion, why don’t they just get married?" Mrs. Guo’s reaction was unexpected; just a moment ago, she was almost tearing Wang Aihua apart with her words, and now she wanted to become relatives through marriage?
Tang Yue observed Mr. and Mrs. Guo and thought to herself that Guo Lili was indeed not from an ordinary family, and her parents were not ’ordinary’ people either.
Normal people, if they truly wanted to become relatives through marriage, wouldn’t have caused such a scene previously.
Now knowing that Mr. Tang was the owner of the Zhenghua Breakfast Restaurant, and possibly aware that the young uncle worked at the clothing factory, if they married their daughter into this family, they would become relatives.
"I’ll marry her." Tang Xian, standing aside, immediately spoke up.
Wang Aihua glared fiercely at him.
Tang Zhengyuan said, "Okay."
Wang Aihua desperately made eye signals to Tang Zhengyuan, but he acted as if he hadn’t seen them.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo immediately turned to talk to Tang Zhengyuan, and when she opened her mouth, she asked for a dowry of US$ 5,000.
"Five thousand, why don’t you just rob us!" Wang Aihua originally didn’t want this daughter-in-law, and now hearing that they wanted a dowry of US$5,000, she immediately felt it was far too expensive.
Although people had indeed started earning a bit more money in the last two years and the dowries for marriages had indeed increased, US$ 5,000 was still too much. Maybe in the county where people had more money, such a large dowry was common, but for ordinary families, a dowry of one thousand was already the limit.
"Who’s robbing? Nowadays, how can a dowry for a bride not be US$ 5,000?" Mrs. Guo promptly retorted. She looked towards Tang Zhengyuan, whom she thought was easy to talk with, and said, "We won’t ask for other bridal gifts, just take this US$ 5,000 as the dowry and then we’ll choose a good day to hold the banquet. When they come of age, we can go get the marriage certificate."
Mrs. Guo was very active on this matter.
She had accidentally heard once that the owner of Zhenghua Restaurant and the owner of Mingyue Clothing Factory were brothers.
Now in Wangjiang County, who didn’t know about Mingyue Clothing Factory?
If they could establish a connection with Mingyue Clothing Factory, would they ever need to worry about money in the future?
Mrs. Guo no longer blamed Guo Lili; she only lamented that Guo Lili hadn’t spoken up sooner, otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a scene previously.
Wang Aihua, who was obsessed with money, was reluctant to spend US$ 5,000 to marry off a daughter-in-law; even Tang Zhengyuan felt that the US$ 5,000 was a bit too much, hence, for the time being, he didn’t agree.
