Chapter 472: 168: Beijing State University invitation, what a fairy-like sister! _3

Beatrice Black glanced at Zachary Mayhew, then nodded and said, “You better get going now.”

There was a hint of both reminder and probing in her words.

She was gauging Zachary’s satisfaction with Rachel Barton.

As long as Zachary Mayhew is pleased with Rachel Barton, they won’t need to worry about Dalton Tavas’ opinion anymore.

It now appears that the five hundred thousand dowry is settled matter!

As Zachary Mayhew was heading towards the car, Beatrice Black seemed to have thought of something. She quickly jogged over to the car, gave some change to Rachel Barton and casually said, “Sweetie, it’s not easy for Zachary to make money. When I tell you two to go out shopping, I just want you to make friends. Don’t let him spend on the road, okay? Our family may be poor, but our spirit should not be short” freewёbnoνel.com

Upon hearing these words, Rachel Barton was quite shocked.

What a remarkable phrase ‘our spirit should not be short.’

Despite being a simple rural woman, Beatrice Black’s vantage and attitude towards life was no less than that of any well-educated person.

Perhaps many educated people couldn’t do as Beatrice did.

Rachel accepted the money handed over by Beatrice, “Alright, mom, I understand.”

Beatrice nodded, then turned her attention to Zachary Mayhew, instructing him, “Zachary, be careful on the road!”

“Sure, Auntie.”

Soon, the bicycle disappeared from Beatrice’s sight.

Only then did Beatrice return home.

Mrs. Mayhew was still there.

Seeing Beatrice return, Mrs. Mayhew said, “Beatrice, we are not strangers. Since we are not strangers, I will get straight to the point. Your daughter is quite pretty, but she’s too thin, she doesn’t look capable of bearing children.”

If Beatrice didn’t know about Zachary’s feeling, she might have been worried.

But now, she was not worried at all, she laughed and said, “Never mind anything else, but just based on my daughter’s looks, it would be hard to find another within miles radius, right? It’s a blessing for your son to find such a beautiful daughter-in-law.”

Blessing?

How can a daughter-in-law who might struggle with childbirth be considered a blessing?

Mrs. Mayhew frowned and said, “Beatrice, what do we get a wife for our sons? To continue the family lineage, right? Can your daughter bear two children in three years? But I see she does get along well with our family. However, she is definitely not worth a five hundred thousand dowry. What do you think about knocking it down to one hundred thousand? With one hundred thousand, my son will marry her!”

One hundred thousand?

Batrice felt like cursing.

Dalton Tavas, you brazen woman!

You really dare to say that!

You want to marry a daughter-in-law for one hundred thousand!

In your dreams!

“Five hundred thousand, not even a penny less,” Beatrice said, looking at Dalton Tavas, “If you think my daughter is not worth five hundred thousand, that’s fine. I can consider other families for her!”

Hearing this, Dalton frowned slightly, then laughed and said, “Beatrice, don’t be so intractable! When we find a husband for our daughters, we’re not selling them off, why so serious?

Mainly, Dalton Tavas thought Rachel Barton was not worth it.

If it were not for her son’s preference, she wouldn’t want to pay even one hundred thousand.

Gregory Diet spoke up at this point, “Auntie, nowadays people believe in the freedom of marriage, if your family doesn’t want to, we won’t insist. It just means our children don’t have the fate to be together. I will call our Rachel back now, your Zachary can definitely find someone more beautiful.”

With that, Gregory Diet took out his old-fashioned cell phone, ready to call Rachel.

Upon seeing this, Dalton immediately stopped Gregory, smiling and saying, “Mr. Diet, why the rush? Aren’t we still discussing? How about this, I’ll discuss it with Zachary’s father tonight and reply to you in a few days, how does that sound?”

Her son had finally found someone he liked. If she messed this up, Zachary would never let her off the hook.

Gregory Diet frowned and said, “Fine if it works, no if it doesn’t! It’s not like my girl can’t get married!”

Just then, Beatrice chimed in, “Mrs. Mayhew, today I am here to decide. Let’s each step back a bit, go home and discuss it, and try to give us an answer within three days.”

As she finished talking, Beatrice turned to Gregory Diet, “That’s the decision on this matter, you don’t need to say anything more!”

The husband and wife team were perfectly playing good cop, bad cop. Their act was reminiscent of a theatrical performance.

On the other side.

Zachary Mayhew brought Rachel Barton to the town.

Today happened to be the big market day, so there were many people in the town.

Zachary continued, “There’s a milk tea shop in our town, and it tastes pretty good, shall we go in and sit?”
