Bab 6: Where's Your Car
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
She actually refused to accept this card. Perhaps she did not know what this black card represented.
Forget it. If she didn't want it, then she didn't want it. Anyway, he would give her what she should. As for whether she wanted more money or not, it was her own business. He just had to do his part as a husband. At the very least, he had a clear conscience.
"You don't have to worry about the dowry. I've saved some money myself. I'll tell my parents that you gave me 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, but I'll use this money to buy our first house after we get married. In the future, if anyone asks you, just say that the betrothal gift is 300,000 yuan. Of course, even if the seven aunts or eight aunts are curious, they should come to ask me."
"300,000?" Chen Shu frowned. Wasn't this a little too little? Those people on TikTok said that their betrothal gifts were at least 1 million.
"Do you think 300,000 is too much?" Qian Duoduo gave him an expression that said, "You don't understand. This is the capital. The betrothal gift represents the degree of recognition your in-laws have for you. If I say too little, my parents will feel embarrassed."
Just like that scumbag, he was blinded by greed and did not want to give a single cent as a betrothal gift. Because she loved him, she felt that there was nothing bad about living in the countryside. Without hesitation, she carried her luggage and went back to her hometown in the countryside with him.
As a result, the moment she got out of the car, she was pulled into the kitchen to help wash the vegetables before she could even catch her breath. The scumbag's parents even despised her for being a young lady from the capital who did not even touch the water on her fingers. They said that her work speed was too slow. She did not eat well in the countryside, nor did she sleep well. She had to cook for his family every day.
Every morning at 7 o'clock, they would knock on the door punctually to wake her up to cook. Now that she thought about it, Qian Duoduo still suspected that her IQ had been lowered and regretted not running away earlier.
Chen Shu didn't know what Qian Duoduo had gone through because he was still thinking. 300,000 was too little. Although he was now a tramp, he was still a man with hands and feet. How could he give 300,000?
Just then, Father Qian and Mother Qian came back from outside and urged them, "You two eat faster. After dinner, Xiao Chen still has to pick up his relatives. By the way, Xiao Chen, where did you park your car?"
Qian Duoduo put down her chopsticks and was stumped by this question.
Actually, Mother Qian didn't have any excessive requirements for her son-in-law, but she had said before that if the man's family had their own car, their family could help pay for the house. Or the man would pay the down payment, and they would buy a better car for the wedding. Therefore, Qian Duoduo didn't know how to explain to her that he didn't have a house or a car.
Now that she was suddenly asked about the car, where was she going to get one? If she borrowed it from a friend, her parents would definitely be able to tell. What should she do?
Chen Shu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "My car is parked at home. I'll go get it after dinner."
Qian Duoduo wondered if he was planning to rent a car from a car rental agency. This was fine too. Anyway, they had to deal with her parents first. As for the rental fee, she would pay.
However, when she thought about her remaining savings, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel pained.
Worried that he would rent an expensive car to save face, Qian Duoduo deliberately went out to see him off when he left. After the two of them walked far away, she approached Chen Shu's ear and whispered, "Are you going to rent a car?"
"No... Oh, yes, I'm going to rent a car." Chen Shu always forgot his current tramp persona.
"There's a car rental company about two kilometers north. Remember to choose an off-road car if you want to rent a car. Off-road cars look more expensive, so you just need to make one that looks more like a Lu Xun."
"Then why don't we just rent a Lu Xun?" Chen Shu was puzzled.
Qian Duoduo was speechless. After a while, she said, "Lu Xun… Lu Xun is not suitable for marriage." She would never admit that Lu Xun's rental fee was too high. She could not bear to spend this money. Now, she had to spend every remaining sum of money carefully.
"I understand." Chen Shu did not delve into the loopholes in her words and turned to leave the alley. After walking out of the alley, he took out his cell phone and called his secretary. "Secretary Wang, prepare an off-road vehicle that looks like a Lu Xun for me. Send it to me within 20 minutes. I'll send you the address."
On the other end of the phone, Secretary Wang hesitated and said, "You don't have a car like this in your garage. Can I change it to a Porsche for you? The one you usually drive."
There were dozens of cars in the Chen family's garage, but none of them looked like a Lu Xun.
