Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

This shout silenced everyone present for a moment, but it only lasted a moment before the crowd started to talk and laugh violently.

"Who is this guy? I think he is confused after sleeping. He also asked for a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Does he know how much a thousand yuan is?"

"That's right! One thousand yuan, with Xiao Yun's job, he can't even raise that much money even if he sells everything he has."

"Yes, this guy wants a thousand yuan as a gift for his daughter's marriage. Is he looking for trouble?"

"Didn't he say it? This Su Ming is not his biological daughter, so it's normal to treat her like this."

"There's something good to watch now."

……

As the discussions became bolder, these words also reached the ears of Xiao Yun and his group, and Su Ming's family.

Xiao Yun stood there quietly, his face expressionless and confused, as if he knew nothing.

Xiao Weiguo on the side had an even uglier expression. The long scar on his face twitched from time to time with the corner of his eye, which made him even more frightening. His cold eyes were full of contempt.

When he heard the one thousand yuan dowry, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, this family was here to cause trouble.

Xiao Aiguo behind him just stood there in a daze. He couldn't even bear to think about a dowry of one thousand yuan.

The money he saved for Xiao Yun's wedding only added up to 400 yuan, but now he wants 1,000 yuan just for the wedding gift, which is totally unreasonable.

Seeing that everyone in the compound had an attitude of disbelief, Su Ming's stepfather gasped for breath, and his blood pressure rose wildly without him noticing.

"Xiao Yun! What do you want to do? You don't want to admit it? Don't forget that we have a notarized agreement between us!" Su Ming's stepfather roared crazily.

The two sons behind him were ready to take action, their eyes wandering around looking for weapons.

They had discussed it before coming that if the worst happened and Xiao Yun refused to acknowledge his promise, they would not let Xiao Yun get married no matter what.

Xiao Yun looked at Su Ming's stepfather, his attitude still slow, and said in a lazy tone: "I'm not denying it, but we agreed on a 100 yuan betrothal gift, and now you want me to pay 1,000 yuan. Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

"If I hadn't bought the bicycle, I might have given you an extra 150 yuan, so I could have given you 250 yuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the compound laughed again.

After Xiao Yun finished speaking, Su Ming's stepfather's eyes widened and he was so angry that he seemed to be spitting fire.

Faced with such humiliation, he suppressed his emotions and walked to Director Liu.

"Director Liu, you have to make the decision for me! It was you who guaranteed me that I gave you a discount. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for a thousand yuan. When we went to notarize it, you were the notary, so you have to make the decision for me."

Director Liu broke free from the clothes that Su Ming's stepfather was holding tightly, and said calmly: "Old Li! Don't get excited, let's talk first!"

Su Ming's stepfather suddenly exploded, "What are we talking about? How can I talk to a family like this when they didn't even give me the betrothal gift I promised them? Director Liu, please come out and say something for me."

Xiao Weiguo watched from afar, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yun.

The latter seemed to be just watching the fun and didn't care about anything.

He felt relieved immediately.

If this were true, how could Xiao Yun be so calm?

A thousand yuan for the bride price is really exaggerated.

If it was 500 yuan, I could still help to get the money together, but now, it seems unnecessary.

This family is here just to cause trouble and extort money!

Xiao Weiguo thought briefly in his mind, and immediately extended his hand and said, "Director Liu, right? I want to know your position."

Hearing the noise, Su Ming's stepfather didn't wait for Director Liu to speak, and said first: "What do you want to do? I know you have connections, but if you dare to use your power to pressure Director Liu and prevent him from telling the truth, I will definitely sue you!"

Xiao Weiguo looked around Su Ming's stepfather coldly and said, "Director Liu, don't worry. I am Xiao Yun's father. I just want to know the truth. Besides, I don't have an official position, so it's not a question of whether to suppress it or not."

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo paused and warned again in a dignified tone: "Of course, if it is really confirmed that Xiao Yun wants to give a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift, I will sell everything I have to make sure I don't give a penny less. But if the betrothal gift is not agreed to, I will not allow anyone to ruin my son's marriage."

When these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill down their spine. Su Ming's stepfather nodded heavily and turned his gaze to Director Liu for help again.

Su Ming used the money from his marriage to raise his son. He had implemented this plan several years ago.

Countless sons-in-law were selected just for the high bride price.

Now that Su Ming is getting married, anything else can go wrong except the betrothal gift.

If anything goes wrong, his two sons will be completely finished!

At this time, Xiao Aiguo, who was standing beside him, smoking a Zhonghua cigarette, spoke slowly: "Little comrade, just tell us the truth. We will give you as much betrothal gift as you notarize. There will be no mistakes on this."

Director Wang also whispered, "Old Liu, be careful!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Director Liu. Even He Yuzhu and Ma Hua, who were cooking in the center of the compound, couldn't help but look back frequently, trying to resolve the doubts in their hearts.

"Master, how much do you think the bride price is?" Ma Hua asked while cutting vegetables.

He Yuzhu didn't even raise his head, "Just cut your vegetables. Don't you see who gives a thousand yuan as a gift for a wedding?"

Ma Hua reacted, said "oh", and continued to cut vegetables while watching the fun.

Director Liu slowly opened his mouth, then closed it, opened it again, and closed it again, feeling extremely conflicted. When everyone's patience was about to run out, he raised a finger.

"The bride price is this amount."

Just when everyone didn't react, Xiao Yun suddenly said, "Yes, one hundred yuan? Doesn't this mean one hundred?"

Su Ming's stepfather was not to be outdone. "One finger is one hundred? I said one thousand!"

After saying that, he looked at Director Liu and said, "Director Liu, you know me. I raised one finger because I couldn't bring myself to say the price. If it was a hundred yuan, would I have arranged so many blind dates for Su Ming?"

Director Liu knew this too. He had reminded Su Ming's stepfather time and again, which led to the reduction of the betrothal gift from the original five thousand to two thousand and finally to one thousand.

He knew very well that this finger most likely represented one thousand, but at the same time it was not impossible for it to represent one hundred.

Director Liu looked around and said helplessly, "Old Li! What do you want me to say? You didn't tell me the exact amount of the gift at the time. You two each raised a finger. Who can I favor?"

"Just because I'm in charge of you, do I have to force you to say that this represents one thousand? If they can't take it out, will you not let them pass?"

"I can't do this! I am complete and not biased towards any party. This is enough."

"I wasn't there when you two were discussing the gift, so I really don't know the exact amount."

Director Liu spoke out what he had been holding back in one breath, and he felt much better.

When the Su family heard this, they were all disappointed. Their trump card, the notarized betrothal gift, had ended up in such a murky situation.

Xiao Weiguo noticed the mood of the people on the other side, and was more certain that this group of people came to blackmail him, so he immediately said in a cold voice: "You came to my house for no reason, ruined my son's marriage, and extorted a high price for the bride price. Do we have a grudge against you?"

"Or does Su Ming have a grudge against you? Don't you want her to live a good life?"

Facing Xiao Aiguo's repeated questioning, Su Ming's stepfather suddenly heard a glimmer of hope in his words.

"Yes, no! We are not doing this for no reason. Xiao Yun promised us that. We have evidence!"
