You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 226 Meeting

It is often said that one should not judge a person's character based on their profession.

Lu Yuanqing also believed this.

So, before having dinner with the Gu family, he inquired about them.

As for Gu Yushan, after several interactions, he seems to be a nice person.

Lu Yuanqing didn't raise any serious issues.

Judging from the Gu family's circumstances, they don't seem to be too bad off.

In short, the Gu family is a good in-law family, and Gu Yushan is also a good marriage prospect.

It's not hard to understand why she would go crazy after the Gu family dissolved their engagement with Zhang Xiaoya.

But no matter how good the Gu family is, Lu Yuanqing's younger sister is not bad either. She is a college student, has a job, has a gentle personality, doesn't like to argue with others, and now even owns a house. She is a perfect match for Gu Yushan.

It was only after Lu Yuanqing learned about the Gu family that he thought it over carefully and decided it was a good marriage. That's why he didn't take Lu Yuanhuan back to Shihua Village, but instead focused on preparing her dowry.

If the other party is not a good person, and their family is not good either, Lu Yuanqing would never let Lu Yuanhuan get married so hastily.

In Lu Yuanqing's heart, Lu Yuanhuan was the best girl. He always felt that whoever married her would be incredibly lucky, making a huge profit.

The first meeting between the elders of both sides was very pleasant.

Everyone sincerely wanted to become in-laws, and no one was deliberately making things difficult for anyone else, so naturally no trouble was caused. You flatter my sister, and I compliment your son. It was a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.

After visiting the Gu family to get acquainted with them, it was naturally Lu Yuanqing's turn to invite them to visit his own home.

It was only then that the elders of the Gu family realized that their daughter-in-law, whom they thought was from the countryside, actually owned a house in the city.

The college student, with a job, a house, and a powerful family background, was immediately very satisfied with her as his future daughter-in-law.

Especially when she saw the dowry that Lu Yuanqing had prepared for Lu Yuanhuan, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The originally agreed-upon dowry of 388 yuan was suddenly increased to 688 yuan. Not only was 300 yuan added, but they also promised to buy Lu Yuanhuan a bicycle and a sewing machine as dowry.

The agreement was reached happily, and both parties are looking forward to the wedding date in five days.

It has to be said that Lu Yuanqing did have some ulterior motives.

He rushed to buy the house, tidied it up, and moved in. He even bought his dowry and displayed it in the house. Then he invited the Gu family to come and visit, taking the opportunity to let them see it.

All of this was to make the Gu family think more highly of Lu Yuanhuan, and also to intimidate her. Although he was no longer in the city and his elders were no longer with him, as long as he, Lu Yuanqing, was still alive, he would always be Lu Yuanhuan's support, and no one could bully her.

The two families ate and chatted at Lu Yuanhuan's house in a harmonious atmosphere.

In the evening, the Lu family sat in the courtyard, chatting and eating sunflower seeds, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Lu Yuanqing was cracking sunflower seeds with the most gusto, and he didn't forget to share some of the Gu family's opinions with Lu Yuanhuan sitting next to him.

"These past two days, I've gotten to know the Gu family a bit better. You're lucky; at least you haven't encountered any difficult in-laws. Gu Yushan's parents are quite reasonable. You don't need to be afraid of the other elders; they don't usually interact with you much. However, Gu Yushan's younger sister, your future sister-in-law, doesn't seem like a good person. But judging from her age, she won't stay in the Gu family for many more years before getting married!"

"When you marry into the Gu family, don't be afraid of this or that. Even if you encounter her, don't tolerate her. Marriage is all about how you behave from the beginning. If you're assertive from the start, others won't think you're easy to bully!"

“That’s right, Auntie. Your sister-in-law likes to look down on people. She’ll definitely cause you trouble. If you tolerate it now, she’ll only become more arrogant later!” Lu Mingxi chimed in after hearing Lu Yuanqing’s words.

These past two days, Lu Yuanqing had been spending time with the Gu family. Since she and Cheng Xia were at work, he hadn't asked her to take time off to be with them.

But why would Lu Mingxi agree?

It was a big event for her own aunt, so how could she miss it? She immediately took two days off to see if the Gu family members were easy to get along with!

Everyone in the Lu family felt that Lu Yuanhuan had too good a temper and was easily bullied. Moreover, after Lu Yuanhuan married into the Gu family, she would probably have to spend her whole life with the Gu family unless necessary.

Lu Yuanhuan smiled good-naturedly, "Yu Mei is still young and doesn't understand things. Besides, Gu Yushan said that his little sister has always liked to follow him around since she was little, so their relationship is naturally better than that of half-siblings. She just doesn't want her brother to forget his sister after he gets married!"

Lu Mingdong snorted coldly: "I've always heard of people forgetting their mothers after marrying a wife, but this is the first time I've heard of someone forgetting their sister after marrying their sister-in-law."

Clearly, he didn't have a good opinion of Gu Yushan's sister, Gu Yumei.

Gu Yumei's personality is really unlikable.

"Hmph, little sister, don't be afraid. If you really marry into that family and Gu Yumei deliberately causes trouble, don't back down. Just fight back and give her a good beating. It's only right for a sister-in-law to teach her sister-in-law a lesson!" Lu Yuanbo suggested, arms crossed.

Another fight!

Lu Yuanqing glared at him speechlessly, "Stop stirring up trouble here. What do you mean by 'beat up'? It's not easy to beat someone up! Don't you know that these days, the sister-in-law and brother-in-law are the people you're most afraid of offending?"

Lu Yuanbo stubbornly refused to admit it, "Brother, you clearly don't like her either, yet you still criticized her!"

Lu Yuanqing was dumbfounded. "When did I mention her?"

Although he didn't like it, he's a grown man, surely he wouldn't take a young girl so seriously!

Lu Mingdong pointed out: "It was said in front of all the elders of the Gu family!"

Lu Yuanqing felt like he had lost his memory! He had been all smiles with the elders of the Gu family for the past two days, his face beaming with joy! He hadn't stopped smiling even when he was tired.

Cheng Xia watched them chatting and laughing from the sidelines, and couldn't help but join in, "I can testify, Third Brother spoke up about the other side!"

"Hahaha! Look, Uncle San, we didn't lie to you. You really mentioned that arrogant Gu Yumei." Lu Mingxi also raised his hand with a smile.

Lu Yuanqing: "..." Really lost his memory?

Lu Yuanhuan smiled and shook his head, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in Lu Yuanqing's hand, saying, "It's when Yumei saw the dowry you prepared for me in the room."

This whole thing was started by Lu Mingxi.

The day before, I went to the Gu family home, and all the elders there were very polite to me.

But we also know that there are a lot of people from the Gu family.

So apart from Gu Yushan and his family, who were all present, only the elders of the other families were there, while the younger generations were not.

This resulted in Gu Yumei being the youngest member of the Gu family at that time.

This little girl's eyes are on the top of her head.

He's not a bad person, just has a bad temper.

Even if it weren't for Lu Yuanhuan being her future sister-in-law, she would treat anyone the same way.

Lu Mingxi disliked her manner, so while the adults were polite to each other, the two younger women were talking to each other as if they were arguing.
