"That won't happen," Shen Nuo said with certainty. "Lu Man doesn't care about this, and the in-laws aren't that kind of person either."
"Yes, I'm afraid they won't accept it even if we give them too much," Old Mrs. Han said.
"Then why don't we put the monetary gifts aside first, and we'll discuss it with the in-laws later," Shen Nuo said.
"Okay, I have ready-made three pieces of gold here," Old Mrs. Han said happily.
"Mom, I'm afraid the used ones are not suitable," Lin Liye reminded her softly.
"What are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Han said. "Those are all new. Thinking back to when I first met Lu Man, Zhuoli didn't even have a girlfriend at such an old age, and I was so anxious. I'll go and buy the three pieces of gold first and leave them at home. It'll be something to look forward to, right? I'll just wait for Zhuoli to get engaged so I can give them away. "
Lin Liye's and Shen Nuo's faces twitched, and Old Mrs. Han happily went to get the three pieces of gold she had prepared in advance.
The three pieces of gold were a gold necklace, gold earrings, and gold bracelets. No matter if it suited the current aesthetic trends or not, it had to be prepared. This was the custom of an engagement.
When Old Mrs. Han came back, she had three exquisite boxes in her hands.
"Man Man," Old Mrs. Han sat beside Lu Man and said, "these are the three pieces of gold for the engagement. Take a look and see if you like them."
Lu Man opened them to take a look. Because Old Mrs. Han had bought them for many years, it was inevitable that the designs weren't as new as they were now.
But Old Mrs. Han had bought the most expensive ones, and no matter how new the designs of the gold jewelry were, they were still the same.
Needless to say about the earrings and necklace, the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets were wide and thick, and looked very sturdy.
Lu Man accepted them with a smile and naturally said that he liked them very much.
Old Mrs. Han was happy and called Han Xijin and Shen Nuo over. "Let's discuss the monetary gifts."
Xia Qingwei quickly waved her hands. "Old Mrs. Han, since Lu Man and Xiao Han are going to get engaged and become a family in the future, let's not be too distant. I know you want to follow traditional customs. But we really don't have to care about this. Zhuoli has really helped us a lot. Actually, Man being able to achieve what she has today is all because of Zhuoli's support. We don't need to use monetary gifts to measure the importance of the woman. "
Xia Qingwei smiled and said, "From the first time you met Man Man, you treated her like family and loved her. You gave Man Man the familial love that she had never experienced before. These are priceless. If Man Man marries into the family, I will be at ease. In the past, the amount of betrothal gifts represented the importance that the husband's family placed on the fiancée. Now, it had changed. It had become a competition. But Zhuoli, and all of you, I can see how much you value Man Man. I still think that monetary gifts are not important. "
Besides, it was hard to calculate.
For a large clan like the Han Clan, if the clan were to form a marriage alliance, there would be many aspects involved. Thus, it would be easier to calculate the monetary gift.
But now, if the Han family gave too much, she really couldn't accept it. What was the point of accepting a few million yuan for no reason?
But if it was too little, the Han family wouldn't be able to take it out. Moreover, the Han family had other children who were going to get married. In the future, when it was time to give them a monetary gift, how much would be appropriate?
If they gave too much, they were afraid that she and Lu Man would have second thoughts. If they gave too little, they were afraid that the other party would be unhappy.
In this aspect, the Han family was indeed in a difficult position.
Xia Qingwei had thought of all these.
Although she didn't say it out loud, who couldn't tell?
They all understood what Xia Qingwei meant.
The two elders were even happier. They didn't find the wrong in-laws!
