Chapter 225 Frenzied Preparation of Dowry

After Lu Yuanqing's explanation, everyone stopped talking and got busy, trying to move tomorrow and invite the Gu family the day after.

Lu Yuanqing persuaded Gu Yushan to leave first.

They're still at work! They took a whole morning off to help out, which is already quite kind of them.

After a morning of this, Lu Yuanqing had a very good impression of him, and there was no need to worry about his character.

Lu Yuanqing even went so far as to inquire about Gu Yushan's family situation directly.

The Gu family has quite a large population.

Although he had long been aware of people's love for having children, Lu Yuanqing was still shocked by Gu Yushan's family.

Gu Yushan's grandparents are still alive. They had five children.

Gu Yushan's father is the eldest son, and the elderly couple now live with them.

Gu Yushan's parents had six more children. Gu Yushan was the fifth child, with two older brothers and two older sisters, and a younger sister.

My older brother and sister are both married and have two or three children each, while my younger sister just graduated from high school.

With the college entrance exam canceled and unable to attend university, and due to the "Down to the Countryside Movement," Gu Yushan's mother directly gave her job to her youngest daughter, allowing her to stay in the city.

This family is already terrifying in terms of its size!

But Gu's two younger brothers and two younger sisters, their families were in a similar situation.

At that time, Gu Yushan only gave Lu Yuanqing a brief introduction to the elders. He simply mentioned how many of their siblings were of the same generation. As for the next generation, Gu Yushan said there were too many to remember.

Lu Yuanqing was utterly shocked!

The Gu family is quite something to be able to feed so many!

In families like theirs, there are quite a few children, but each generation has to support several.

Most of the others were able to survive.

Lu Yuanqing was overwhelmed by the sight of so many family members. It would probably take him a long time to recognize them all!

If we don't put in the effort, wouldn't it take years to recognize all our relatives?

No matter how many members of the Gu family there are, Lu Yuanqing will at most only deal with Gu Yushan's family members in the future.

Moreover, they live in the same city and the same village, so they don't have much contact and there's nothing to worry about.

……

Many hands make light work. In one afternoon, a group of people not only tidied up Lu Yuanhuan's house, but also Lu Mingxi's house.

Despite being exhausted after a long day, Lu Yuanqing and the others first went to the apartment that Lu Mingxi and the others rented and moved a lot of things they would need for sleeping that night.

Last night, Lu Mingxi and Cheng Xia came back. There were two rooms, and the three girls squeezed into one room, while Lu Yuanqing and the other two squeezed into another.

The rented apartment wasn't very big to begin with, and the bed was small too. Lu Yuanqing almost fell off the bed several times last night.

Now that he has other options, he no longer wants to sleep in such a cramped space.

With limited time, they moved out their bedding and other sleeping supplies first, and will move the rest later. Once they're done moving, they can return the house.

After a good night's sleep, Lu Yuanqing and the others had a simple meal, and some went to work while others continued buying dowries.

Things kept being bought, and a room was specially set aside to store the dowry.

Lu Yuanqing even prepared six quilts for Lu Yuanhuan.

Just for good luck.

So when Lu Yuanhuan and the others came home from get off work that evening, they saw a whole room full of things.

From large items like quilts to small items like toasts.

"Third Uncle, did you bring the department store back?" Lu Mingxi asked in shock, looking at the room that was completely full.

Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "That's possible. Your third uncle's pockets can't hold the entire department store!"

"Third Brother, isn't this too much?!" Lu Yuanhuan's mouth gaped open, unable to close it for a long time.

Are you kidding me? She considered herself worldly-wise, but she was still shocked by Lu Yuanqing's extravagant gesture.

With such a large dowry, how many daughters could you marry off?

There are so many things, all of them are placed in the room, there's no room to even step.

Cheng Xia moved in little by little, and accidentally bumped into the basin on the ground.

The basin also contained a toothbrush, toothpaste, a toothbrush cup, soap, a towel, a comb, scissors, and a mirror—all in duplicate.

This was truly the most lavish dowry she had ever seen in her life.

Looking at all the things in the room, Lu Yuanqing felt a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.

“This is nothing. If we weren’t in such a hurry, back in our hometown, we would have made you a bed and a wardrobe. We’ve only managed to buy two trunks.”

As for the others, they are all expensive.

Moreover, considering that Lu Yuanhuan would be living in the city afterward, he prepared mostly daily necessities.

It looks like a thermos! And pots and pans!

Lu Yuanhuan remained silent, staring at the things in the room, her eyes slightly reddening.

The idea that you need to build a bed and wardrobe in your hometown is just talk; how many people actually do it?

"My aunt told me that we've bought almost everything today. Aren't we going to the Gu family's house tomorrow? We'll go to the department store again after we get back this afternoon." Lu Yuanqing said, counting on his fingers as he made the arrangements.

It was his first time marrying off his sister, and he didn't know what to do, but he wanted to prepare everything for her.

"What else do you want to buy?" Lu Mingxi asked curiously, squatting beside several large red floral quilts.

Yes!

We've already bought a whole house full of stuff, what else do we need to buy?

Lu Yuanqing: "We still haven't bought any clothes! My aunt said she's preparing a set of clothes for each of the four seasons."

"Third Brother, you still want to buy more?" Lu Yuanhuan's heart trembled.

"You haven't even bought your wedding clothes yet, and you're going to wear your everyday clothes for your wedding?" Lu Yuanqing asked incredulously.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she met Lu Yuanhuan's "what else?" look.

Lu Yuanqing sighed, "Never mind, never mind, I'll go cook. I can come along tomorrow!"

None of them had any experience in this area.

But no matter what, Lu Yuanqing felt that wearing his usual clothes on his wedding day was too disrespectful.

Suddenly, I remembered that when the village was very poor, they didn't even have a decent dress for their wedding.

There was a red dress in the village back then, and everyone would borrow it to wear for a day when they got married.

Therefore, it's not that Lu Yuanhuan and the others had the wrong idea, but rather that Lu Yuanqing alone felt it was shabby.

For Lu Yuanhuan and her family, the dowry that Lu Yuanqing bought alone was enough for the Gu family to think highly of her, not to mention that Lu Yuanhuan also had a house!

Unless someone in the Gu family is an idiot, they won't have any complaints about her; in fact, they'll treat her well.

All of this has been done very well, but Lu Yuanqing still acts as if he has wronged Lu Yuanhuan and wants to use all the money in the family to prepare her dowry.

This made Lu Yuanhuan and the others find it very unbelievable.

However, no matter how shocked they were, Lu Yuanqing always ruled the household with absolute authority. Once he made a decision, no one else could say anything!
