The Chang family is an ordinary family in the capital, but because the relatives at home have some connections, the three children, including Chang Wenyan, all have serious jobs.

Chang Wenyan relied on her own ability to be admitted to the Weapons Research Institute, although she was an inconspicuous small worker, but she also hugged the country's iron rice bowl, and it sounded like her work was taller than those workers who worked in the factory.

When her biological mother gave birth to her, she died because of heavy bleeding, and when she was less than three months old, Chang's father married his current wife Li Jihong, and her sister Chang Wenyue was left in less than a year, and her younger brother Chang Wenhu was born in another year.

There are several regular workers in the Chang family, and the conditions in this family are naturally not bad at all, but Li Jihong is a particularly picky person, even if he has money to spend, he is reluctant to buy meat and come back to make up for his family, so the Chang family has a yellow face, and at first glance he is a malnourished master.

Now that several children of the Chang family have reached the age where they can be said to be pro, Li Jihong has long planned to find the stepdaughter in front of her to find a rich in-law, so that not only can she ask for more dowry, but also come to the door from time to time to fight the autumn breeze, what a more cost-effective deal?

Therefore, at this time, a matchmaker came to propose marriage to Chang Wenyan, and the first thing she cared about was what the family conditions were like when they came to propose marriage.

Before this matchmaker came, she also received a lot of benefits from Zhang Xinghua, and she inquired about the temper of this Chang family, she has been a matchmaker for so many years, how can she not know what Li Jihong's idea is?

So she smiled happily, "The conditions of the Su family are really much better than ordinary people! Sister Li, it's not me who brags to you, although the Su family is an outsider who has just moved to the capital for a few years, but everyone in the family is this!"

The matchmaker gave a thumbs up and said in an envious tone, "I heard that the place where they live is still their private residence! You know the courtyard house in the old alley? Everyone else lives in a courtyard with several families, but their family occupies a courtyard!"

"The courtyard?" Li Jihong's eyes widened, "Is the courtyard their private?"

"Isn't it private!" the matchmaker sighed with envy, "Seriously, if it weren't for the second child of the family and the girl of your family Wen Yan to work in the same place, I am afraid that people like the Su family will be in a hurry to post it upside down! Sister Li, we don't talk in secret, when I came, the people of the Su family said that as long as Wen Yan is willing to marry, there will definitely be three turns and one ring, plus a bride price of fifty yuan!"

"It's only fifty yuan...... although Li Jihong is excited, his mouth is unforgiving, "It's so picky, our family Wenyan is also a serious worker, why do you have to give a bride price of 600 yuan, right?"

"Sister Li, people still have three turns and one ring! You take a look at the girls in our area who can have this dowry? Let me tell you, the Su family just likes your Wen Yan's temperament, and it's not really that she has to do it, if you make people anxious, I'm afraid that people will go back and find other girls." ”

The matchmaker had a smile on his face, but looking at this Li Jihong's eyes with a hint of sarcasm.

is still 600 yuan, this mother-in-law really dares to open her mouth, the conditions of the Chang family are good, but now the family lives in a 30-square-meter house, and there are two old people at home to support, that Chang Wenyan is not a beautiful figure like a fairy, that is, a miscellaneous person in the research institute, such conditions dare to open such a big mouth, no wonder people outside say it is good, this Li Jihong is very greedy!

"Fifty yuan is too little...... Li Jihong shook his head, "unless you don't want a dowry......

"Sister Li, this ......" The matchmaker didn't expect this Li Jihong to actually slam the door like this, and he didn't even want to give a dowry when he married a girl, what is the difference between this and selling his daughter?

"Either six hundred yuan, or no dowry, my condition is like this, you ask the Su family if they agree." Li Jihong bit her mouth and didn't let go, she had already calculated, if she didn't give the dowry, she would wait for the dowry to come over, and it would be worth hundreds of yuan if she sold it, otherwise it would be possible to keep it as a dowry when she married her daughter.

As for whether Chang Wenyan will be looked down upon by her in-laws because she has no dowry, it is none of her business, who called her family conditions average?

When the matchmaker heard this, he had to leave depressed.

turned around and told Zhang Xinghua what he said.

Knowing this Li Jihong's plan, Zhang Xinghua was not angry, but showed a smile, and her eyes fell on Chang Wenyan, whose face was a little ugly, "Wenyan, which do you think we choose?"

"It's not good!" Chang Wenyan was almost angry with her stepmother!

When the whole country called on intellectual youth to go to the countryside, she was kicked to the countryside by Li Jihong privately before she could react.

Finally, after more than ten years in the countryside, she waited for the index to return to the city, and she was able to return to the city in advance thanks to the teacher's relationship, and even was admitted to work in the research institute, but she didn't expect that Li Jihong actually wanted to take care of her marriage again!

Chang Wenyan bit her lip and said to Zhang Xinghua, "Aunt Zhang, I don't want a bride price, when I go home, I will directly find out the household registration book and pull the marriage certificate with Su Wenxiang first, so as to save that greedy ghost for nothing!"

For the courage of her future daughter-in-law, Zhang Xinghua also understands these days, and she can get the indicators of the first batch of educated youths to return to the city by herself, knowing that she is not a silk flower who only relies on her family.

Zhang Xinghua said with a smile, "The bride price still has to be given, but when the time comes, Auntie will give you the bride price, and it is up to you to decide whether you give it to your family or not." ”

Chang Wenyan was not polite, and said with a smile, "Nacheng, Auntie, I won't be polite to you." ”

What Zhang Xinghua likes is her cheerful temperament, so she got up directly and went into the house and took a thousand yuan out.

The Su family has not been short of money over the years, she has prepared a sum of money for each of her children to get married, she directly took a handkerchief and stuffed a thick stack of money into Chang Wenyan's hand, and said with a smile, "Well, this is the bride price money that Auntie gave you, when you get married, you discuss it with Wen Xiang, no matter what happens, you still have to have a wine and a treat." ”

Chang Wenyan was really unkind, she changed her words with a smile after receiving the money, and then she hurriedly went to find Su Wenxiang to go to the street to get the marriage certificate, she had to take advantage of the fact that her stepmother had not yet reacted, and pulled the marriage certificate, even if she got the news, she would pinch her with the matter of not wanting to take the household registration book.

Zhang Xinghua didn't stop her from looking at her hot appearance, thinking that she would soon add more people to her family, and she was so happy in her heart.
