"Liu Qing, how much do you have to spend on these things?"

After returning home, the second aunt looked at Liu Qing with some distress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info To be honest, although Liu Qing's actions just now made her show her face, it also made her feel distressed, "It's good that you come back, why spend money to buy so many things!" She grumbled.

"It's okay, second aunt, these things are not worth much."

Liu Qing smiled, glanced around the room, and said suspiciously, "What about my second uncle?" Where did it go? ”

"Don't mention it."

The second aunt glanced at Liu Gang, who was cleaning up in another room, lowered her voice, sighed and said: "I answered your phone just now, your second uncle just came home, and he was called over by the people of Lao Ding's family to discuss things, oh yes, the girlfriend your brother is looking for is the daughter of Lao Ding's family." ”

Hearing that the second aunt's tone was wrong, Liu Qing said, "What? Their family disagrees? "Now that I'm going to get married, I shouldn't be able to do anything like this.

"Their family has always disagreed, but that girl wants to marry your brother alive or dead, and even said that your brother will not marry, there is no way, their parents can only agree."

The second aunt sighed and said, "Before you came back, the old Ding family finally relented and reluctantly agreed to this marriage. ”

"And then?" Liu Qing estimated in her heart that things must not be so simple, otherwise the second aunt would not be worried.

"We have a custom here, the woman's family gets married, there is a pressure box money, this money is considered the woman's dowry, according to the rules, how much money they put in the box, we have to put double it."

The second aunt said: "The 30,000 and 80,000 bride money that Lao Ding's family asked for before, your second uncle and I still scraped together, and it was hard to get together, and their family has never made it clear how much money they want to put in this box, in case they put 10,000 yuan, we have to put 20,000 yuan...... Where to find 20,000 yuan? She sighed.

"Mom."

It happened that Liu Gang packed up his things, walked over, heard the words behind, and said comfortingly: "I discussed with Xiaomin before, let their family put less money in the box, put one or two thousand yuan, just mean it." ”

"Xiaomin, I know this girl, she has a good heart, but her parents have always disagreed with the marriage of the two of you, and you have seen her parents, who are not so good at talking, in case their family secretly puts more money on the day of the wedding, what should we do?"

The second aunt said with a sad face: "When the time comes, in full view of the welcoming team, we can't afford to pay for it, isn't it our family who is embarrassed?" ”

Pedaling, pedaling, and in the courtyard outside, footsteps sounded.

Liu Qing turned his head and saw that it was Second Uncle Liu Ming who was back, and he quickly stood up, "Second Uncle, you are back." ”

"Well, Liu Qing, you're home."

When Liu Ming saw Liu Qing, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his brows furrowed, "The second uncle had something to do just now, and he didn't wait for you at home." He explained.

"Second uncle, you're welcome, it's all a family."

As Liu Qing spoke, he glanced at Liu Ming carefully, and found that his smile was a little reluctant, obviously this trip to Lao Ding's house to talk about things was not very smooth.

Next, Liu Ming never mentioned this matter, but chatted with Liu Qing and asked him about his situation in Kyoto City.

After dinner, Liu Ming was worried that Liu Qing had rushed back from thousands of miles away, and he must be tired after a long journey, so he asked him to go to bed early.

Lying in the cleaned room, Liu Qing didn't feel much sleep, and pondered in his heart.

At dinner, Liu Qing knocked on the side and heard that Liu Gang and Ding Min met when they were working in a restaurant in the county, Liu Gang was a chef, Ding Min was a waiter, both of them were from the same village, and they naturally had more contact as fellow villagers.

This time and forth, the two of them got along.

Before, Liu Qing's second uncle and second aunt were in the village and built a new house for Liu Gang, but Ding Min's parents wanted their daughter to live in the county seat. In this way, it is equivalent to the new house is in vain.

Although the housing prices in the county are not high, they also cost more than 2,000 yuan, Liu Gang only earns more than 1,000 yuan a month, and most of the salary he saved before was spent on building a new house.

It is precisely because of this that Ding Min's parents do not agree to this family business.

“…… Tell me about their family, didn't you deliberately make things difficult......"

Suddenly, Liu Ming's angry voice came from the courtyard, and immediately, Liu Qing vaguely heard the voice of the second aunt: "Why are you so loud?" Don't make Liu Qing noisy, the child finally came back......"

Liu Qing's heart moved, turned off the light, and quietly came to the yard, he was not a habit of eavesdropping, but the second uncle never said about this matter, he had a few times at dinner in the evening, and quietly led the topic to this matter, wanting to know what the second uncle went to Lao Ding's house today, what the other party said, but as soon as he mentioned this matter, the second uncle refused to say it.

“…… The child's father, did the old Ding family really say so? Want to put 20,000 yuan in the box? ”

"That's right! Lao Ding called me over in the afternoon, and said in a heartfelt manner, the daughter of the Wu village chief's family happened to be married that day, and the people's pressure box money was 20,000 yuan, Lao Ding said, since they were all married on the same day, the village chief Wu gave his daughter 20,000 yuan, and they also had to accompany 20,000 yuan, otherwise they seemed to be stingy! ”

"What's going on? What are the conditions of Village Chief Wu's family? What are the conditions of their family? This is clearly a swollen face and a fat man! I estimate that if you put 20,000 yuan, it must be borrowed by their family! ”

"Hey, in addition to this pressure box money, there are other requirements, for example, when picking up relatives, the daughter of the Wu village chief's family wants to take a Passat, and our family will also use a Passat to marry, I have inquired before, and it will cost hundreds of dollars to rent a Passat in the county seat! Why don't you have to rent six? Add to that the money for the banquet, which is another expense! ”

Liu Ming said, his voice became louder again: "I can bear these requirements, but there is too much money in the box!" According to our rules here, their family put 20,000 yuan, and our family has to come up with 40,000 yuan, but they don't know the situation, where did we get 40,000 yuan! Isn't that clearly forcing me? ”

"Why don't we sell that new house?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think selling a house is selling vegetables? You say you can sell it? Don't you need time! ”

"What then?"

"No, I'm trying to borrow some to ......"

"Dad, mother!"

Suddenly, Liu Gang's voice sounded: "If it doesn't work...... Forget it, I'm not going to get married this time! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Ming's angry voice sounded: "Is this your business?" It's your dad and me, you know? There's no place for you to talk here, go aside. ”

"What are you angry at the child?"

"I'm not angry, alas...... I'm blaming myself for not being able to do it! I want to hold a wedding for my son, but I can't do it. ”

Liu Ming's voice became low.

Liu Qing didn't continue listening, but tiptoed back into the room. He was also angry in his heart.

This is obviously a good thing, but because Ding Min's parents deliberately made things difficult from it, they made it like this! These things were originally done within their means, but how did they become comparisons in the eyes of the Ding family's parents?
