Chapter 242: 242 Big Boss’s Bridal Gift (Second Update)

Ye Cheng felt somewhat nervous inside.

Truly, he had never been this nervous even when treating others, or rather, this was the first time in his life he felt somewhat nervous.

This nervousness almost made him forget the real matter at hand, taking a deep breath, his expression became much more serious than before.

Su Lao Guaizi looked at him, unused to the incredibly handsome face he saw.

The village was right, this Doctor Ye was certainly not a common man, too good-looking to be true. Marrying a local girl would surely bring endless admirers to his house.

A man, as long as he’s suitable for daily life, doesn’t really need to be good-looking, it’s enough if he’s not too ugly to bear.

"Uncle," Ye Cheng placed his palms together, "the thing is, through my recent interactions with Xiaofeng, I’ve found her to be a good person, especially suited for daily life. There’s something I’ve been thinking about and decided I needed to come and tell you in person."

Su Lao Guaizi’s bushy eyebrows knitted together, what did he mean? He’s taken a liking to Xiaofeng?

He just thought this man wasn’t suited to life in the countryside.

"You tell me." Su Lao Guaizi ultimately didn’t voice his question, waiting for him to spill it out.

"Xiaofeng and I discussed it and have decided to register our marriage tomorrow. We will host a few banquet tables at my house in the evening. It’s a big event, Uncle, you definitely need to know." Ye Cheng blurted out the core of the matter all at once.

Su Lao Guaizi opened his mouth.

He hadn’t misheard, had he?

Ye Cheng was talking about marrying Xiaofeng, and they were going to register their marriage tomorrow.

Ever since Xiaofeng became pregnant, she refused to remarry and was unwilling to terminate her pregnancy, making her marriage issues a constant concern.

But marriage is no child’s play, it’s not just about registering.

Upon hearing his words, Su Lao Guaizi’s brows furrowed deeper, and after a long pause, he called out to the kitchen, "Xiaofeng, come out for a bit."

Xiaofeng sighed as she came out of the kitchen.

He Ximei also wanted to go out to hear clearly, but she had to prepare food and couldn’t leave; no matter what, if it really was as she assumed, there would be a celebration in the family, and she definitely needed to add a few more dishes tonight.

Su Xiaofeng sat beside Ye Cheng, looking somewhat bewildered at Su Lao Guaizi.

In her previous life, she had also wondered what her own wedding would be like? What would her parents be like? Now that the day had arrived, her nervousness was beyond words.

"Ye Cheng just said that you two are going to register your marriage tomorrow," Su Lao Guaizi directly asked.

"Yes," Xiaofeng softly responded, "Ye Cheng doesn’t mind that the child in my womb isn’t his, and is willing to marry me."

Su Lao Guaizi knew his daughter had been exceptionally resolute since becoming pregnant, but to have such determination in this matter, he didn’t know whether to be happy or what.

Indeed, given Xiaofeng’s current situation, having a man willing to marry her and not despise her was her good fortune.

The man now willing to marry Xiaofeng not only was handsome, came from a wealthy family, but also practiced excellent medicine. According to the villagers, this young man was no ordinary individual and might soar to great heights someday.

Now, such a desirable young man wanted to marry Xiaofeng and she was willing too; he should be happy or immediately agree.

But as the words came to his lips, it suddenly felt as though something was lodged in his throat, making it uncomfortable, unable to utter any word.

It was as if, like checking on the well-cared-for bok choy in one’s garden only to find it had all been uprooted by pigs one morning.

Ye Cheng thought that Su Lao Guaizi was worried about not receiving a bride price, so he pulled out a passbook from his pocket, opened it and placed it on the table, speaking respectfully, "Uncle, rest assured, I have prepared the dowry according to the customs of my hometown. Some items are converted into cash, with a total of sixty-six thousand in the passbook, please have a look."

Hearing Ye Cheng talk about the dowry amount, Xiaofeng’s hand trembled.

An actual tycoon, indeed, flinging tens of thousands like it was nothing.

If she didn’t remember wrongly, the last time Su Xiaotao married Liu An, the bride price was just over nine hundred. If the dowry of Ye Cheng marrying her got out, how many people would be envious, jealous, and resentful.

Thinking about this, she sighed; in her previous life besides modest achievements, she hadn’t been particularly lucky, how did she encounter a rich and handsome man like Ye Cheng willing to marry her.

Xiaofeng felt a shiver run through her body, and so did Old Guaizi.

It wasn’t six hundred and sixty, and it wasn’t six thousand six hundred, it was sixty-six thousand.

Throughout the whole town, having a family fortune of sixty-six thousand was questionable, and here, Ye Cheng was offering sixty-six thousand in just one go. His generosity was truly alarming.

Old Guaizi didn’t accept the money right away; he stood up and walked toward his own room, shouting to Xiaofeng, "Fengfeng, come here."

Xiaofeng was glad her father hadn’t instantly agreed to her marriage with Ye Cheng just because of the money, and she followed Old Guaizi inside.

Old Guaizi closed the door, made sure there was no one outside the window, then asked quietly, "Feng, what’s really going on between you and Ye Cheng? Is he serious about marrying you?"

He was aware of Xiaofeng’s situation and Ye Cheng’s as well. If these two were really getting together, he was worried that Xiaofeng might be at a disadvantage.

Xiaofeng didn’t want to hide anything from her dad, fearing he wouldn’t be able to accept it if he found out later that Ye Cheng was leaving, "Dad, if I tell you the truth, will you be upset?"

Clarifying some matters sooner is better for everyone; the uncertainties are what harm people the most.

"The more you hide, the angrier I get." His daughter was about to get married and he was the last to know. He didn’t care how good the groom’s conditions were; he was just upset and felt stifled.

"I helped Ye Cheng once before because of something, and he owed me a favor. Ye Cheng told me he’s leaving here soon and wants to repay me by entering into a fake marriage before he leaves. He said once the baby is born and successfully registered, I can divorce him anytime. I didn’t consider it before, but when he suggested it, I was tempted, so I..." She felt she had no reason not to agree, for the sake of the baby.

Upon hearing Xiaofeng’s explanation, Old Guaizi understood instantly, "A fake marriage? Why is he being so generous?"

With a dowry of sixty-six thousand right off the bat, even the entire county would struggle to match that.

"Because the baby needs to be registered. If there’s no marriage certificate, the baby would be unregistered upon birth. Dad, do you disagree?"

From his tone, it seemed he was reluctant.

"Honestly, I should be happy he’s willing to help us like this." Old Guaizi couldn’t quite pinpoint his feelings.

Yes, a bit disappointed. He thought Ye Cheng genuinely wanted to live a life with Xiaofeng and truly wanted to marry her, only to find out it was just to acquire a certificate.

Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, I’ve got a clear picture now," Old Guaizi grasped the situation. "Ye Cheng is a good lad, and this generous dowry shows he wants to marry you in style. Tell him, I’ll accept the betrothal money for now but will return it later. Since he is helping us, we won’t take advantage of him." Old Guaizi was a straightforward man, with very simple thoughts.

Xiaofeng opened her mouth, considering whether to tell him about Ye Cheng buying her a shopping mall. After thinking it over, she decided to wait and discuss it later.

After Old Guaizi walked out, he glanced at Ye Cheng and only asked one question, "Ye Cheng, you are quite sincere, and Uncle thanks you for that."

Old Guaizi shouted into the kitchen, "Fatpo, go call Uncle Three and Uncle Two. Tell them there’s something important."

"Uncle Two said he’s already gone to sleep." Fatpo entered the room and relayed the message to Old Guaizi, indicating that he wouldn’t be coming.

When Uncle Three and his wife arrived, they were startled to see Ye Cheng, "Guaizi, who’s not feeling well in the house?"

"Uncle Three, Aunt Three." Guaizi stood up, "Please have a seat here. No one is unwell, it’s just that Ye Cheng and Xiaofeng have taken a liking to each other and plan to register their marriage tomorrow. He also brought a dowry of sixty-six thousand. You can’t have the younger generation’s wedding without the elders around, so I had you come over to discuss."

Uncle Three thought he had misheard and asked, "How much is the dowry?"

Guaizi picked up the list and handed it to Uncle Three for a glance, "Sixty-six thousand. It even scared me—might it be too much?"

Keep in mind that when Su Changgeng’s daughter got married recently, her dowry was only nine hundred and ninety. Suddenly sixty-six thousand appeared—it was indeed frightening.

When Uncle Three saw the amount on the list, his hands trembled a bit. Although he had always known Ye Cheng’s family must have money, he never expected them to be this wealthy, doling out sixty-six thousand in a single gesture.

"Dr. Ye, are you sincerely interested in marrying Xiaofeng?" Aunt Three was also shocked; she had lived half her life and, aside from hearing about the lavish weddings of landlords when she was a child, she’d never seen such a generous dowry in reality.

Ye Cheng nodded, "Yes, Xiaofeng is strong and kind-hearted, a truly good girl."

"Isn’t tomorrow a bit rushed? If the marriage registration is completed, when will you hold the wedding ceremony?" It wasn’t impossible for them to register the marriage tomorrow as long as Xiaofeng agreed to it.

Just registering the marriage wasn’t enough; they still needed to organize a ceremony to let friends and family know about it.
