"Since you asked me to mention it, then I said it, I think sixteen thousand six, and eighteen thousand eighteen, these are more auspicious numbers!" Xu Meijiao said seriously.

"Sixteen thousand six and eighteen thousand eighteen?" Lin Zhiming frowned, he finally understood why Xu Meijiao had become so polite before, and he planned to give more than 10,000 bride price.

Even in a small city like Strait City, the general bride price is 66,000 or 88,000 or something, and at least 52,000, 52,000 is a better meaning, and the bride price of more than 10,000 yuan must be twenty or thirty years ago.

He didn't believe that the market in Xiahai would be 16,000 or 18,000, and it was obvious that Xu Meijiao didn't plan to give too much money.

Lin Zhiming felt very annoyed, he can not have a high dowry, but don't be so low, this is no different from sending Hanako.

"No, I can't. Lin Zhiming shook his head and said.

"Xiaolin, this couple will still have to live together in the future, we are such a son, how much money is left to him, you want too much now, then it will affect their lives in the future. And, to put it mildly, you married into our big city from a small place, that is Gao Pan, you should be satisfied if you can live a big city life, don't be too greedy, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, young man!" Xu Meijiao said earnestly.

Lin Zhiming frowned, instinctively wanting to get angry, but after thinking about it, there was no point in getting angry, and when the time came, he would take out his identity and pretend to be forced, which would make him look low-end.

So, Lin Zhiming spoke, "Let me tell you about our customs over there..."

"Needless to say, if you want to marry our side, then you have to follow the customs of our side!" Xu Meijiao said in a firm tone.

"It can't be like this..."Lin Zhiming shook his head.

"Why can't it? I said yes, it's 18,000, it's more auspicious!" Xu Meijiao said.

"Hey!" Lin Zhiming sighed.

"Don't sigh, you women are not selling their daughters, it's really boring to ask for too much!" Xu Meijiao said.

"Okay. Lin Zhiming said, "Actually, I want to tell you that there is a custom on our side, that is, how much dowry your man gives, our woman will return it to you twice, since you give 18,000 eight, then we can give you 37,006 when we go back, and I will make up the whole and give you 38,000 eight." ”

"Huh?!" Xu Meijiao and her husband were stunned.

How did they never expect that there was a custom of returning double the bride price in Strait City, this custom is simply amazing, not only does it not charge a penny for marrying a daughter, but also gives people money?

"Do you really have that kind of custom?" Xu Meijiao hurriedly asked.

"If you don't believe it, go to the Internet to take a look yourself, and search for the double bride price in Strait City to return. Lin Zhiming said.

Xu Meijiao hurriedly picked up her mobile phone and searched it, and found that there is really a custom in Strait City to return double the bride price for marrying a daughter!

This time, Xu Meijiao's intestines were all repentant.

She felt that she was really cheap, and people wanted to give her a double dowry, but she only gave more than 10,000 yuan, and she didn't let people speak.

"In our country, poor families have to cry when they have daughters, because they can't afford to give double the bride price, but even if they can't give double it, they will return it all and add a little more. Our family is not very wealthy, and I can only thank you here!" Lin Zhiming said movingly.

"This, no, Xiaolin, this matter, I think it's better to discuss it again, I think, although Mengjie is climbing us, but... We must also affirm the value of Mengjie, it is not easy for you to raise Mengjie so big, I think it is better to give a little more of this bride price, so that it can show our sincerity!" Xu Meijiao said seriously.

"Doesn't it mean that as long as the meaning is good, it's fine? Lin Zhiming said jokingly.

Seeing Lin Zhiming's expression, Xu Meijiao knew that Lin Zhiming was mocking her, but the custom of returning the bride price twice was too tempting, even if Xu Meijiao knew that Lin Zhiming was mocking her, she didn't dare to say anything, unless her son didn't take Lin Mengjie.

"Otherwise, let's skip the bride price and talk about the rest. Xu Meijiao said.

"It's okay!" Lin Zhiming nodded.

Next, Lin Zhiming and Xu Meijiao talked about other customs such as goldware.

It seems that because there is a double bride price to take, the other things that will be discussed next are extremely simple, such as preparing a pound of gold for marriage, 500 pounds of pork legs, 500 pounds of candy or something.

Xu Meijiao basically agreed without much thought.

When everything was over, the focus of the conversation returned to the bride price.

However, Xu Meijiao also learned to be smart at this time, she did not immediately determine the bride price with Lin Zhiming, but said that she would go back to discuss it first, and then give Lin Zhiming an amount.

Lin Zhiming knew what Xu Meijiao was thinking, and he said seriously, "Although we can give double the bride price, there must also be a limit, if you give too much, I can't return it to you, at most it can't exceed five million!"

Hearing what Lin Zhiming said, Xu Meijiao was overjoyed.

It can't be more than five million at most, that is, it can be five million!

As long as the bride price is 5 million, then Lin Zhiming has to give 10 million according to the custom!

Isn't that blood-earned?

Thinking of this, Xu Meijiao nodded again and again, and said, "We will definitely pay attention to this, but I really like Mengjie, and I may give a little more when the time comes." ”

"Okay!" Lin Zhiming nodded, then said goodbye to Xu Meijiao and got up to leave.

Watching Lin Zhiming leave, Zhou Xingan couldn't help but ask, "Wife, is this double return reliable?"

"It should be reliable, you also saw it when I checked it just now, they have this custom over there, and besides, Mengjie can go out to study at her own expense, even if the family conditions are not as good as ours, it will not be bad, as long as we give less than five million, Mengjie's family should have no problem!" Xu Meijiao said in a deep voice.

"Five million... We can't come up with this money!" Zhou Xingan said with a frown.

"Why can't you take it out? Isn't there still a house, just take it out with a mortgage loan of 5 million! Wouldn't it be nice to take 10 million when the time comes!" Xu Meijiao said.

"Yes, then will we really give five million bride price?" Zhou Xing'an asked.

"He can accept five million, then it's okay to accept a little more, give a 5201314 when the time comes, isn't this number all liked by young people? We can take more than 200,000 yuan back!" Xu Meijiao said.

"Okay, then I'll go back and apply for a mortgage!" Zhou Xingan nodded.

On the other side, Lin Zhiming received a call from Xu Meijiao as soon as he returned to his residence.

Xu Meijiao promised to give a bride price of 5,211,314 and take a good prize of 5201314.

Lin Zhifang shirked it as an embarrassment, and finally agreed to this number, and then the two sides looked at the date again, and finally pinned the wedding date to May 20th, which is the so-called 520 Valentine's Day, and the wedding banquet was held in Xiahai City and Strait City, and the cost of each event was borne by themselves, and the gift money was also collected by themselves.

After talking about this, the matter of the engagement, then it is completely negotiated.

At this time, Lin Zhiming received a call from Lin Mengjie.

"Brother, Jia Yuan just told me that their family is willing to give 5201314 bride price! Look, their family still values me very much!" Lin Mengjie said happily.

Lin Zhiming naturally wouldn't tell Lin Mengjie that all this was the result of double bride price, and there were indeed some places in Strait City where the bride price was doubled, but Lin Zhiming didn't have it, but in order to make Xu Meijiao pay more attention to Lin Mengjie, Lin Zhiming didn't care that they didn't have that kind of custom there.

"Congratulations sister, by the way, I'm leaving tomorrow!" Lin Zhiming said.

"Tomorrow you will leave, don't you stay for another day? Tomorrow Jiayuan will invite an engagement banquet, brother, you can stay for one more day!" Lin Mengjie pleaded.

"Brother has something to do tomorrow, just celebrate by yourself, remember my brother's words, but if you are wronged, come back to my brother. Lin Zhiming said.

"Well, I know, brother, thank you!" Lin Mengjie said.

"Are you stupid, what do you say thank you to me? Okay, I'm still busy, so I'm going to do this first. After Lin Zhiming finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

In the night, Lin Zhiming looked out the window and was stunned for a long time.

The next day, Lin Zhiming boarded a plane to the South Outer Islands.

He left Xiahai City like this, and he didn't even say goodbye to Song Siqing and Gu Feiyan in Xiahai City, because they would see each other again soon.

The plane landed on the South Outer Islands more than two hours later.

The South Outer Islands are not far from the Strait City, and they are separated by a strait.

Lin Zhiming received a piece of bad news as soon as he got off the plane.

Chen Tianrui was released on bail pending trial.

Lin Zhiming actually had a premonition about this matter, because Chen Tianrui fired a gun in the car when he killed someone, and the video he took could only make Chen Tianrui suspect of a crime, and it could not be determined that it was Chen Tianrui who was sitting in the car.

With the help of a powerful team of lawyers, Chen Tianrui was released on bail pending trial.

Next, I believe that it won't be long before someone will stand up and take the blame for Chen Tianrui.

This is the energy of rich people, as long as they have money, any suspicion of the case will become a breakthrough for them to exonerate themselves, and similarly, as long as they have money, even if they want to be shot, there are people who stand up for them to resist bullets.

Lin Zhiming never felt shameful about this kind of behavior, because the reason why he kept making himself stronger and constantly gaining more wealth was that one day in the future, he would also become an omnipotent rich man.

Lin Zhiming called Gu Feiyan and asked Gu Feiyan to leave Xiahai City with her father, who had recovered a lot.

Chen Tianrui, who was released on bail pending trial, will temporarily stop a little, but when someone really helps him carry this pot, then it will inevitably be Chen Tianrui's crazy revenge, so Lin Zhiming must let Gu Feiyan leave Xiahai City.

For Lin Zhiming, her sister got married in Xiahai City on May 20, so perhaps... It was the day when Chen Tianrui broke out.

"It's getting more and more interesting!" Lin Zhiming stretched and muttered to himself.
