Sure enough, Ming's mother discussed it with her family for a while and found that they had no objections. Three days after returning home, she directly invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

Naturally, the village chief and his wife were unfazed. After Ming's mother came out with the betrothal gift list, they were both happy and worried.

"With all these betrothal gifts, how can our family get a decent dowry?" Mrs. Li sighed repeatedly. Their family only had this much money and it was difficult to buy an ordinary dowry for their daughter. How could the Ming family give such a generous betrothal gift?

OK.

Their family is marrying off their daughters, not selling them.

My daughter-in-law is the niece of Mrs. Li's mother-in-law, so this is the time to say thoughtful words.

She stepped forward and said, "Why don't we save some money at home and buy a set of jewelry for my sister to wear. As for the betrothal gifts..." She was a little reluctant to part with it, but for the sake of the future and to make her mother happy, she bit it.

Gritting his teeth, "Bring them all to my sister. At least she will look better on her face. The princess knows everything about our family and won't blame us."

This was exactly what Mrs. Li was thinking, but she was surprised that her daughter-in-law would take the initiative to mention it, and she liked and got closer to her daughter-in-law even more.

"I'll go discuss it with your father."

The Ming family was busy preparing for Zi Ming's wedding. Logically speaking, men and women were not allowed to meet before marriage, but thinking that they would soon marry their sweetheart, Zi Ming was extremely happy.

He ran to the village chief's house for several nights in a row, and even the Ming family and the village chief's family pretended not to have seen him.

"Brother Ming..." Miao Manman rarely looked embarrassed. She looked at Ye Ziming's happy expression and didn't know how to speak.

When Ye Ziming saw her frowning, he felt extremely distressed. Although the two of them had not known each other for a long time, he felt that this girl was good.

"If you have any difficulty, tell me and I will definitely solve it for you."

"The betrothal gift given by your family... is too much. My family..." Miao Manman felt happy and embarrassed at the same time when she saw Ye Ziming looking at her with all his heart and eyes.

Originally, the betrothal gift given by the man was to show that he valued the woman. Their family's conditions were really not good, otherwise they would not have objected to the gift being given too much.

If it were something else, Ye Ziming would still find a way to help solve it. Well...

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if your dowry is smaller, our family doesn't care about that." He stepped forward with a playful smile, "Even if you come empty-handed, my family can still afford to support you!"

Of course Miao Manman believed this, she blushed and said, "That's not what I said!"

It's one thing to be able to support someone or not, but a dowry is a courtesy, and if their family doesn't have enough escorts, they will probably be laughed at.

Seeing that she was sincerely worried about this matter, Ziming thought about it and went home without saying anything more.

He explained his troubles to Mingxiu.

"It's not difficult." Mingxiu didn't even raise her head. Although her parents helped take care of Ye Ziming's marriage, the burden on Mingxiu became much heavier. She also had the restaurant at home and the opening of a new store.

They all had to take care of it, "Can't you just quietly send some money to their family to buy a dowry?"

Anyway, I have to go back to their home in the end. I go in with my left hand and go out with my right hand. Mingxiu doesn't mind this.

In fact, as Ye Ziming said, it doesn't matter if Miao Manman comes empty-handed. Anyway, she has already prepared enough for food and clothing.

Ye Ziming's eyes lit up, "You are still clever. When your sister-in-law comes in, I will take you out to play!"

As he spoke, he ran away. Mingxiu rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Who cares?"

If you want to take Miao Manman out to play, just say so, why use her as an excuse.

Ming's father and Ming's mother did not restrict Mingxiu from going out. As long as she was safe, it would be okay for her to run outside all day long.

In fact, there were restrictions on Mingfu and Mingmu at the beginning, but the restrictions were useless.

Not taking Ye Ziming's words to heart, Mingxiu continued to do her own thing.

But before the account was settled, the door opened again.

Thinking that Ye Ziming was back again, Mingxiu didn't even raise her head, "What's wrong?"

"Princess Princess..."

Is it Sanniang’s voice?

"Why are you back?" Shouldn't she be watching in the restaurant at this time?

Sanniang looked ashamed, "The restaurant across from Chen Qianhu's house also held an event and attracted most of our customers. This..."

"Don't worry about them."

When Mingxiu first opened, they held events to let customers know about their store. What really retains customers is the fresh dishes and delicious taste.

If there were no changes in Chen Qianhu's restaurant across the street, even the activities would have little impact on them. It was just two days of business, and Mingxiu didn't care.

She raised her head and looked at Sanniang, "Don't just look at the immediate interests. Keep an eye on the situation at the opposite door. Just wait for the guests to come back."

Sanniang didn't understand why Mingxiu said this, but she felt that maybe Mingxiu saw the part that she didn't see.

"My slave knows."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Mingxiu looked at Sanniang and said: "Since I leave the restaurant to you, I believe in you, and you must also believe in yourself. Do whatever the other party likes to do, and keep an eye on the restaurant.

Internally, there must be no problems with food safety and the taste of the dishes. As long as we keep an eye on these two points, no matter how others try to steal customers, they will be clowns. We just need to watch from the other side."

What they need to worry about now is that the restaurant across the street is out of control. If they want to start from inside, they will be in trouble if someone takes advantage of the loophole.

"yes."

Sanniang withdrew.

Mingxiu doesn't care as much as she said, she has been feeling a little uneasy lately.

After breaking up with Xie Zhan, there will definitely be a chain reaction. First of all, she has no backing. She touched other people's cakes before, and those people dared to be angry and dare not speak out for Xie Zhan's sake. Someone will definitely take notice of this.

At the right time, I want to snatch the cake back.

The first thing she has to do is to stabilize the situation.

Only by allowing yourself to calm down first and not panic can you make a more accurate judgment on how to act.

What happened to Chen Qianhu's family was just the beginning.

All these things have been covered up by force, and the top priority now is to get Ye Ziming's marriage settled.

He is not young anymore. Ming's mother is anxious to help him find a wife and come back to have her grandson. Miao Manman has also reached the age of marriage. Both families are anxious to get it done and discuss setting the wedding date for the year before.

There is only less than three months left.

At that time, the wedding clothes were thick, and the girls in their family and the wives and aunts who made clothes obviously did not have such skills. It was too late, so Mingxiu hurried to the ready-made clothes shop in the capital to make an order.

Miao Manman's body shape is similar to hers, and the measured data are also similar.

Ye Ziming asked Mingxiu to be the model.

"I said, brother, isn't this bad? Is there any reason why I should put on the wedding clothes for my sister-in-law first? When the time comes, it's better to send it over first and let my sister-in-law try it on. If there is anything inappropriate, it is the right way to send it over and change it."

Why doesn't Ye Ziming know about this? Doesn't he find it troublesome?

Seeing the unhappy look on his face, Mingxiu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and just said: "If my sister-in-law finds out about this and doesn't want to make trouble with you, I don't care."

Only then did Ye Ziming relax.

Many people saw the fact that she and Ye Ziming went to the clothing store to get their engagement clothes together. In fact, not many people cared about it, but who asked Mingxiu to have Xie Zhan's people to protect her?

They didn't dare to hide the news after learning it, and quickly conveyed the news to Xie Zhan.

When there are many people talking, the meaning of the message often changes.

At this time, misunderstanding occurred.

Xie Zhan ran to Mingxiu without stopping.

"You can't marry!"

What are you doing without beginning or end? Mingxiu looked confused, but she quickly frowned, "Whether I want to get married or not, what does it have to do with the prince?"

Regardless of whether she is married or not, she will never accept Xie Zhan again. She thought her attitude was very clear, so why did he come anyway?

Xie Zhan was sweating profusely and couldn't care less, "I will convince my mother and concubine, you must not marry anyone else, just wait for me!"

He has sacrificed a lot for Mingxiu. If he still can't marry her home, wouldn't everything he's paid before be in vain?
