"What happened before is in the past. Let's get down to business now. How do you plan to marry my mother? What about the house and betrothal gifts?" Qiao Mei asked.

"I plan to..." Before Xu Ba could finish speaking, Qiao Mei interrupted him.

"We'll talk about your issue in detail later. Right now, I just want to hear your family's opinion. Please don't speak for the time being," Qiao Mei said as she raised her hand.

This was the first time Xu Ba had seen Qiao Mei so serious. It was not for nothing that Qiao Mei could run such a big business.

"Yes! Our Xu Ba has a house. The betrothal gifts will be based on your hometown's customs!" Old Madam Xu said enthusiastically.

Qiao Mei massaged her temples and said, "I'm not sure what our hometown's customs are now. Let's use my wedding as a reference point. My betrothal gift is 2,000 dollars plus the Four Big Things."

"2,000! That's so much..." Xu Cai said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.

Although Xu Ba had a high salary, he also had to support two children and his elderly mother. He probably did not have much savings and 2,000 dollars was probably all he had.

"Our family is not an unknown family. This sum of money is considered reasonable," Xia He said earnestly.

"Alright, let's sign a contract then," Qiao Mei said as she took out a document. She had prepared this document a long while back and was just waiting for today.

"Contract! There's no need for that..." Old Madam Xu said sheepishly.

"Of course it's necessary. Don't all those families with many children do this when their elders are old?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Yes, they do. My grandfather did up a contract after he retired and his was much thicker than this. It took him more than three months," Xia He said.

Xia Wen nodded in agreement. The Xu family was caught between a rock and a hard place now and could only agree to Qiao Mei's request. Otherwise, all their beautiful fantasies would be shattered!

"You even want to stick your nose into the matter about where my grandma stays! Who do you think you are! Why are you so bossy! Why do you have to know so much about our family elder's future plans!" Xu Cai said furiously.

Qiao Mei capped her pen and stood up, saying, "Since this is your family issue, then we won't stay here any longer. This meal is on me. Please enjoy yourselves."

"No, no, no! The child is talking nonsense! You can get involved! Of course you can get involved!" Old Madam Xu said nervously.

Xu Hang grabbed on to Xu Cai. It was a big day for the Xu family today. He could see from Xu Ba's expression that if Xu Cai said another word, Xu Cai would be grounded at home for a while.

Although Xu Ba had been kind and indulgent towards them since they were young, he still had limits. As long as it was not something that crossed his baseline, he would accept it. Clearly, his baseline was now Li Gui.
