Chapter 1859 - 1862: Chaotic but Happy Life 5
Gu Shaocheng thought it was a good idea. He still needed to sit down with Ling Yin to discuss the wedding and the details of it as Hua Hua’s elder brother. He needed to know what his responsibilities were in the wedding, maybe even regarding the dowry... Gu Shaocheng paused and asked Hua Hua, "Hua Hua, do you want me to provide the dowry or the bride-price?"
He always planned to prepare the dowry, but since the child would take Ling Yin’s surname, he couldn’t interfere in their affairs. So, does that mean he should now prepare the bride-price?
Hua Hua tilted his head, looking at Ling Yin.
Bride-price? Dowry?
Hua Hua never thought about it.
The next second, he jumped up and ran to Gu Shaocheng, "Brother, how much are you planning to give?"
"Who said I’m giving money?" Gu Shaocheng said, seeing his greedy expression.
"Then why did you ask me about the dowry or bride-price?"
"Whether it’s dowry or bride-price, Ling Yin has to give more than me. I just want to earn from it." Gu Shaocheng said.
Hua Hua touched his engagement ring. Does this mean that my brother wants to pocket the money?
Hmph, businessman, so cunning.
"Then you can give a one Canadian Dollar dowry, and my Brother Ling will give a two Canadian Dollar bride-price." Hua Hua said, being stingy.
Gu Shaocheng smiled and gave him a gentle kick, "A brother given away is like water spilled out. The ancients didn’t lie to me."
"The ancient saying is about daughters married off, like water spilled out." Hua Hua corrected.
Gu Shaocheng: "I’ve raised you for so many years, and it can’t be for nothing. If the bride-price isn’t to my satisfaction, don’t think you can have the wedding. As the eldest brother, it’s up to me in our traditional family."
Hua Hua joked, "Brother, I still have my birth mother above me. Even though you’re the eldest brother, you’re also my brother-in-law. How can a brother-in-law interfere with his brother’s affairs?"
"An uncle is even more important. Even locally, at any important occasion, the uncle leads in high position. Don’t you understand such basic knowledge?" Gu Shaocheng argued with amusement.
Ling Yin thought for a moment, then offered an amount.
Upon hearing it, Gu Shaocheng burst into laughter, hugging Chenxing, "Wife, tell me, did I go wrong raising this brother?"
Chenxing’s eyes sparkled, shaking her head, "Not a bit. It’s quite profitable."
However, the dowry Gu Shaocheng provided was not small at all, truly generous. Back when he thought he didn’t have long to live, he prepared a fortune that would ensure Hua Hua’s well-being for several lifetimes. Now, seizing the chance of his marriage, he gave it all to him. Bai Wuqing had already arranged the legal documents for Hua Hua’s signature that night.
A huge fortune fell from the sky, and Hua Hua’s hand trembled with excitement while signing.
Gu Shaocheng sat beside him, holding a teacup with a faint smile on his face, "This is your personal asset. Keep it well. You may let Ling Yin manage it, but remember, it’s always yours personally; when Ling Yin brings in the bride-price, I won’t take it either. It becomes your personal wealth too. Don’t tell Ling Yin, treat it as your private savings. Brother will help you manage it; don’t waste it, alright? This fortune is enough for you to live like an emperor for a lifetime, understand?"
Hua Hua couldn’t believe that just by getting married, he suddenly became a top wealthy man, with both the bride-price and dowry ending up in his pocket, haha, he could laugh in his dreams.
But, "Brother, I don’t need to guard against Ling Yin. He won’t betray me."
"I’m not saying Ling Yin will betray you. It’s always good to have a backup plan, just in case. It’s nothing to worry about. Brother doesn’t mean anything else."
