"How old is your brother?"

I remember that Wu Lili's younger brother is in college, she has to make money for her younger brother to study, and the burden of the family is on her, if you talk about the pressure of life, then Wu Lili is much more difficult than Xiao Tingyu, and Wu Lili is also single.

"Sophomore, why are you suddenly asking this?" asked Wu Lili.

"It's not easy for you. I changed into my slippers, walked a few steps to the sofa in the living room, and sat down.

"So what can I do, my parents can't make much money in their hometown, they provide for me to go to college, just hope that I can graduate and share it with my family, now that my brother is in college, he has been trained, and when he joins the job, I will be relaxed." Wu Lili said while pouring water.

"Xiao Tingyu just broke up and is in a bad mood, why don't you find a partner?" I asked.

"I'll go, old classmate, why don't you open which pot to mention?" Wu Lili smiled.

"It's just curiosity, you're pretty and you work hard. I said.

Although Wu Lili is not tall, she is tall and has a very high appearance, there must be no shortage of suitors, I believe that if she really wants to find it, she will definitely be able to find it.

"Chen Nan, women in their early thirties are no longer competitive, and I sometimes regret that when I was in my twenties, why didn't I have a good grasp of a relationship, and now it is too difficult to find a partner, especially to find someone who is going to get married in a down-to-earth manner, which is even more difficult. Wu Lili spoke, put the water cup on the coffee table in front of me, and then continued: "I have also talked over the years, many of them are boyfriends who are willing to marry me, but their family does not agree, they think that I have a younger brother, which will increase the burden, and then my parents will not get married, and I don't want a bride price." ”

When it comes to bride price, I'm interested.

"How much do your parents want?" I asked.

"One hundred and eighty thousand. Wu Lili said.

"Well, 180,000 is not a lot. I nodded.

It is much cheaper than Li Meifeng's family, Wu Lili's parents asked for a bride price of 180,000 yuan, and Wu Lili has never been married, and she is still a car salesman, and her education is also high.

I can't help but think highly of Wu Lili, I know that I found a second marriage, Li Meifeng is a second marriage, and I am also a second marriage, which is really a good match, but Li Meifeng's parents want a bride price of millions.

No, it was secretly discussed that it was 580,000 yuan, but the next day it suddenly changed its words and became 1 million, and I really witnessed the face of this family asking me to give money.

"Why don't you get married, didn't you talk about one?" Wu Lili looked at me.

"I just got divorced, how can I think about getting married so quickly?" I smiled awkwardly.

"What happened to you and that Li Meifeng? You shouldn't be able to play, it's not easy for people to come out of the mountains to follow you. Wu Lili said with a smile.

Hearing Wu Lili say this, I pursed my lips, to be honest, I also know that Li Meifeng is good, her meticulous care for me is incomparable to ordinary women, especially Zhang Dan, in terms of private life, and Li Meifeng are really different, but now, I am very disgusted with Li Meifeng's family, which has made me feel estranged, and the main reason for the problem is the bride price.

"I originally planned to take her back to my parents after the house was completed, and then get a license to get married. I said.

"Go on, why are you talking halfway?" Wu Lili became curious.

"A few days ago, I went to her hometown, and then I had a fight with their parents over the bride price. I continued.

"How much bride price, you quarrel over the bride price, won't you? You should be quite generous, right?" Wu Lili said with a smile.

"A million bride price. I said.

"One, one million?" Wu Lili's smile quickly retracted, and she looked at me in surprise: "Old classmate, you don't really want to give it, do you?

"I can't understand their customs there, women can't eat at the table, and the bride price is taken out to buy a house and a car for my brother and sister-in-law, just like when my sister gets married, she has to think about her brother, otherwise she can't get married. "I don't know why, I guess I have been holding it for a long time, so I poured out the bitter water.

"You drive such a good car, people don't kill you. Wu Lili teased.

"That's not a reason, but it's really bad. I said.

"Chen Nan, we are all rural, in fact, we all know in our hearts that the poorer the place, the more fierce the bride price is, many rural areas, now still eating the sky, how can they have any income, many families have sons married, are married to their daughters, in order to free up their hands to marry their sons and daughters-in-law, you marry other people's daughters, people ask you to ask for a bride price of one million, after the money is in hand, people's sons want daughters-in-law, if the bride price is taken out of 100,000, then the rest is earned, this can buy a house and buy a car for the son, the conditions keep up, in the final analysis, the daughter is an outsider, and the son is passed on from generation to generation。 Wu Lili said word by word.

"Of course I understand the truth, but her brother has long been married and has children. I smiled wryly.

"People get married and have children, the conditions are poor, my sister gets married and has a brother-in-law with good conditions, she definitely wants to make some benefits, this bride price before marriage can be the best, you are married, where is the chance for their family?" Wu Lili continued.

"It's--" I was a little speechless.

"This kind of bride price is different from person to person, the so-called one side of the water and soil to raise a person, the bride price of this thing, is a matter of customs, it depends on how much or less. Wu Lili said as she spoke, she looked at me: "But one million is really a sky-high price, no wonder you are unhappy." ”

"I'm sorry today, I vomited so much bitter water on you. "I'm busy getting up, and I always feel that it's not good to talk about these family matters.

"Chen Nan, what are you seeing, I think you are a very tangled person. Wu Lili continued.

Looking at Wu Lili with some doubts, she said that I was 'quite entangled', I felt a little disagreeing, is this how she looks at me?

"Between these classmates, it's normal to talk about trivial matters at home, a million bride price is a lot, but many women don't think so, they will feel that as long as this man loves her enough, they are willing to give as much as they want. Wu Lili said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Of course it's true. Wu Lili smiled.

Wu Lili's words reminded me of the scene when Zhang Dan and I got married, Zhang Dan's mother asked me for a bride price, at that time I was young and vigorous, thinking that as long as Zhang Dan could marry me, I didn't bargain, but I didn't bargain, but I didn't think about it, but then I encountered the demon of helping my brother, I paid so much for that family, and in the end it was empty.

Time has passed, and now that I have encountered the bride price, I have begun to be cautious, and I even feel that I am following the old path.

"Chen Nan, I think you're hesitating, you don't really like Li Meifeng, you just want to find someone to live with. Wu Lili continued.
