Chapter 2 The eldest lady of the Shukla family

"Auntie, who are you proposing on behalf of?" Shakru asked the "matchmaker" who had just offered a million-dollar dowry.

The "matchmaker" looked around for a moment, and then said to Shakru, "Mr. Pandit, can we go to a quieter place, I will tell you in detail." ”

"Well, okay then. Shakru nodded in agreement, and then said to the other "matchmakers", "Everyone wait for me a little!"

Then he took "Million Dollars" to another room, and it was then that "Million Dollars" introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Pandit, my name is Asari, and I am here on behalf of Mr. Shukla!"

"Shukla, Shukla, is it Shukla who lives in Shcherwani?" In fact, it is no wonder that Shakru is so shocked, because the surname Shukra (Shukla) is extremely noble in India, which translates to "pure white cloud", in ancient times, even Kshatriya had to kneel on the ground and kiss his boots when he saw the members of this family, although Pandit was also a Brahmin, but compared with others, it was several grades lower. (The four castes are only roughly divided, and there are subcastes within each caste, and even untouchables like Dalit, who clean up the toilets and look down on those who burn corpses, can't unite in the fight.) )

Asari nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Venerable Mr. Shukla!"

"But with the conditions and status of their family, they don't need to take so much dowry, and I don't deserve it!" asked Shakru puzzled.

Asari hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Normally, it is true, but isn't there a special situation now. Eh, a girl from the Shukra family was expelled from the family in the previous paragraph, have you heard about it?"

As soon as he heard this question, Shakru immediately remembered that this matter was quite a sensation in New Delhi and even in the whole of India.

The cause is that a high-caste girl named Charles is too deeply influenced by foreign TV dramas and books, naively thinks that love can overcome all obstacles, and is dissatisfied with the fat Brahmin fiancé appointed by the family, so she eloped with the young and handsome Dalit driver boy in the family.

As mentioned earlier, it is not allowed to marry in India (that is, a high-caste girl marries a low-caste boy), especially in a traditional and noble family like Shukla, this situation is an insult to the whole family, so the patriarch was furious, not only put the captured young man to death with a knife, but also sent someone to give the young man's two sisters to the wheel X, and even blackened their faces and then X body parade in the street, and although Charles was not physically harmed, but expelling the family itself is the biggest punishment for this kind of delicate woman who grew up in a honey pot。 (It's true, it just didn't happen in 2002, it happened in 2013, but it was all in 2013, let alone more than 10 years ago.) )

On the one hand, Shakru was indignant that such naked racial discrimination could appear in the Indian society, which is known as an absolute democracy, and on the other hand, he lamented that this Shire girl was too young, how could she do such a naïve thing, just by how far the two young people could run out, and even if they ran away, the future life would definitely be different from what she imagined.

Then Shakru suddenly realized: "Ah! So you are talking about that Charles girl!" Then his face changed: "You shouldn't be proposing marriage to me for her, right?"

Asari nodded awkwardly and replied, "That's right, it's her!"

"But hasn't she been expelled from the family, and how is it that Mr. Shukla is willing to pay a million dollars in dowry for her?" asked Shakru curiously.

Ashari sighed and said: "Hey, although Miss Charr was expelled from the family by the patriarch, but the mother-daughter and father-daughter are connected, after all, they are their own flesh and blood, how can they just leave it alone? Therefore, as soon as he heard that Mr. Pandit had the intention of marrying a girl of a lower caste, Mr. Shukla sent me. ”

Although Shakru, as a Chinese, does not really mind any caste or non-caste, he still wants to make a career with the special status of Brahmin in the future, how could he agree to marry such a tainted wife? If he had a very deep relationship with this Charles girl before, then it would be fine, but the two didn't know each other at all, so naturally there was no need to sacrifice himself for her.

So Shakru shook his head decisively and said the reason for his refusal, and then kindly suggested: "Mr. Shukla can send Miss Shire abroad, so that no one will know about her past?"

"I have also mentioned this suggestion, but Mr. Shukla said that Miss Shir has been pampered since she was a child, and she cannot do without servants, and in foreign countries, there is no way to hire a servant like us in India, and even if she is hired in India itself, people will dislike her status as a pariah and refuse to serve!" explained Ashali with a wry smile.

In his opinion, a large part of the reason why many wealthy Indians prefer to live in India, where municipal construction is not very good, rather than move abroad, is because they cannot hire Indian servants abroad.

Indian servants are not only paid very low (only a few hundred yuan a month, except for cooks, of course), but also have a detailed division of labor, hard work, and a kind of respect for slaves to slave owners for high-caste masters, and even a self-proclaimed enlightened university professor thinks that it is a gift for his servants to watch television with him, of course, at that time servants have to kneel......

But at the same time, Shakru also complained in his heart, since this Charles girl can't do without the servants, then you still elope a yarn? It's so naïve and naïve that it's hopeless! Even if there is no such thing, such a young lady herself will never marry!
