Originally, the Qi family planned to come to the door to propose marriage, and after the marriage was negotiated, the two families would have to have a lively meal together, and when things were negotiated like this, who still had the heart to eat, Shen Sumei and Ma Zhongxia said goodbye at the moment, "Then let's do it, eldest sister, our family will go back to discuss this matter again, and after the discussion, I will write to you." ”

"Okay." Ma Zhongxia didn't keep them, the bride price was negotiated, the two sides were in-laws, and it was right to leave you to eat, and if it wasn't properly negotiated, it would be poor and neighborly, so why waste those grains.

Shen Sumei was stunned at the Liang family, and her evil anger was sprinkled on Qi Ruiqing, "It's really a lion's mouth, and it also needs a bride price of 999 yuan!" You say, what's the difference between that and a thousand? This is marrying a daughter, this is clearly selling a daughter, we don't need to discuss, for the sake of her daughter's ability to earn a salary, you will talk back in two days, and tell her directly, I will give her a maximum of two hundred and eighty-eight, if she wants to marry, she will marry, if she is not willing to marry, I will not marry, with your conditions, I don't believe that I can't find a better one. ”

"Mom." Qi Ruiqing pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Liang Ping's mother wants nine hundred and ninety-nine, let's only give two hundred and eighty-eight, isn't it too little." ”

"Less?" Shen Sumei hated and said: "You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and you don't know that our family is from home, a bicycle has been more than 200, and I don't know how many families need to borrow more than 200 yuan to get together, besides, it's not just about spending this money when you get married, you have to clean up the house, and the bed has to be changed, you can't get married and the two of you still sleep in a small bed, seven, seven, eighty, eight and eight, even if we save it, we can't take it without six or seven hundred, Zhang Ping's mother wants a thousand, We have to spend a total of fifteen or six hundred, anyway, we can't just because you get married, our whole family has to tie our necks. ”

The original good happy event became the current situation, Ma Zhongxia did not play cards according to common sense, and had to add such a bar in the middle, Qi Ruiqing was also aggrieved and panicked.

He and Liang Ping were classmates in secondary school, they met in the first year of secondary school, and they began to have a good impression of each other in the second half of the semester, and they formally dated in the second semester, and talked about it for three years after participating in the work. It really scared him in his heart, and he was really afraid that this matter would be yellow in the end.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll let Liang Ping probe her mother's tone again, maybe her mother just said that, she didn't really want to care about us so much."

Shen Sumei was still angry, "I don't care if it's true or not, if you tell Liang Ping, I'll give you two hundred and eighty-eight." ”

As soon as the Shen family went out, Liang Ping hurriedly pulled Ma Zhongxia's arm and said, "Mom, what are you doing, how can their family take out more than 900 yuan." ”

"It's just that if I can't take it out, I can keep you for two more years." Saying that, she gently patted her daughter's little face, and said with an affectionate smile: "My daughter is so handsome, it's a pity to match him Qi Ruiqing, you pick better, let's find someone better than him." ”

Liang Ping never talked back to her mother, but today for her own happiness, she dared to talk back to Ma Zhongxia, "Mom, I recognized Qi Ruiqing, in my eyes he is the best." ”

Ma Zhongxia spread out her right hand and put it under Liang Ping's nose, "Okay, you can recognize him, take nine hundred and ninety-nine, take it out, and I will marry you immediately." ”

Liang Ping: "Mom, aren't you unreasonable, knowing that his family can't come up with this money." ”

Ma Zhongxia pointed at Liang Ping's head and poked it several times, "You turned your elbows out before you got married, if you get married, do you still have a family in your heart?" ”

Ma Zhongxia suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly walked to the back room, "I have to lock up the household registration book first, otherwise one day you will steal the household registration book for me as soon as your brain is hot, and my nine hundred and ninety-nine will be in vain." ”

Liang Ping was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh, her parents didn't agree, where did she dare to register secretly, "Mom, what do you want?" ”

Liang Gang, who was sitting on the side, saw the whole incident from beginning to end, his mother asked for a bride price to marry his daughter-in-law, and he was also in favor of it, but now the Qi family does not agree to take so much money, and if the money can't be taken out, then even his daughter-in-law can't be married, "Eldest sister." Liang Gang crossed Erlang's legs and said in a weird manner: "They don't pay attention to you if they don't give this money, since they don't pay attention to you, what's the point of you marrying in the past?" It's better to find someone who values you to live. ”

It's all because of this younger brother, Liang Ping rolled her eyes, "I'm happy, you don't care." ”

"How do you talk to your eldest brother?" Liang Qinglin twisted his eyebrows and said: "I think what Gangzi said is reasonable, how much bride price represents how much sincerity, I think, their family does not have much sincerity." ”

Liang Ping: "Dad, why do you say that, I have been dealing with Ruiqing for more than five years, if people are not sincere, what are you doing talking to me for so many years, is it a waste of time?" ”

Liang Gang said: "That's you stupid, you don't suffer a loss when dealing with a man, you can see it at the critical moment, it's unreliable." ”

Liang Ping didn't choose to speak, and directly said Ma Zhongxia's plan, "You are reliable, you are reliable and you are still pointing to using my bride price to marry your daughter-in-law." ”

Everyone knows that this is one thing, and if you say it clearly, it's another thing, Liang Gang suddenly became anxious, and shouted at Liang Qinglin, "Dad, you see what my sister said, just as if I am willing to use her bride price, otherwise, I won't get married, I don't think this money is too much." ”

"What did you say?" Ma Zhongxia walked out of the back room, "I'm still waiting to hold my grandson, if you don't get married, where will my grandson come from." ”

Liang Gang spread his hands, "Eldest sister, you can't rely on me for this." ”

In the final analysis, the crux of the matter is still on Ma Zhongxia, Liang Ping grabbed her mother's arm, with a flattering face, "Mom, don't care about Ruiqing's family, don't do it with less, you want less, I asked Ruiqing to tell his parents, let them borrow, maybe they can raise enough, you want so much, they can't make it up." ”

"No, not even one less." Ma Zhongxia was categorical, "There are still 3,000 poor relatives in the emperor's family, I don't believe that their family doesn't even have a rich relative, you married to earn money for their family, and the children I worked so hard to provide for were given to their family, do you want this money." ”

Seeing that it really didn't make sense, Liang Ping had no choice but to sigh, "Mom, whatever you want." ”

When he was at work, Qi Ruiqing couldn't wait to run to Liang Ping to find out, "Pingping, is your mother talking about playing, it can't really be a bride price of nine hundred and ninety-nine, right?" ”

"Well, don't mention it." Liang Ping was also worried about this matter, and she said sadly: "I asked my mother, she just wants so much." ”

Qi Ruiqing wrapped his fingers around Liang Ping's braids, "Pingping, you also know that my family can't take out this money at all, my mother said, at most, two hundred and eighty-eight, and I really can't take it out if I have more." ”

Liang Ping leaned her head on Qi Ruiqing's shoulder, "I just know what's the use, my mother said that the emperor still has 3,000 poor relatives, she doesn't believe that you don't have any rich relatives." ”

Qi Ruiqing: "How can I have rich relatives in my family, my ancestors have three generations of poor peasants, and my grandmother's family is even more powerful, extremely poor, poorer than my family, where to find rich relatives?" ”

Liang Ping had a sad face, "Then what should we do?" What should I do if my mom is scared to death? ”

Two days later, Qi Ruiqing came to Ma Zhongxia to reply, and when he came to the door, he bought a net of fruits, and now he was really a little afraid of Ma Zhongxia, and when he saw Ma Zhongxia's tiger face, he shouted loudly, "Auntie, are you busy?" ”

Ma Zhongxia raised her eyelids and replied lightly, "Well, here, let's sit in the house." ”

Qi Ruiqing put the fruit on the table, sat aside stiffly, and waited for Ma Zhongxia to ask.

Ma Zhongxia casually picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What did your mother say?" Do you want to pay the bride price or not? ”

Qi Ruiqing glanced at Liang Ping first and said, "Give, you must give, that is, can we discuss this price again." ”

"Can't!" Ma Zhongxia threw the teacup directly on the table.

The sound frightened Qi Ruiqing, and he shrunk his neck, "Auntie, nine hundred and ninety-nine is really too much, and my family really can't take it out." ”

"Hush." Ma Zhongxia sneered, "I can't take out more than 900 yuan, so what kind of daughter-in-law do you marry?" ”

"Auntie, not only more than 900 yuan, my family also has to do wedding wine, buy furniture, my mother has already bought the bicycle, my mother has calculated the account for me, the bride price is 288, this happy event will also cost 600 or 700, 999 ......"

"Two hundred and eighty-eight? Your family is begging for food! Ma Zhongxia said sharply: "I raised Liang Ping and provided her with books, and the money spent alone was more than nine hundred yuan, and now I ask for a bride price of ten yuan per catty, you should be glad that Liang Ping is thin and has not grown to more than 100 catties, otherwise more than 1,000 yuan will not be able to be taken at all." ”

Qi Ruiqing and Liang Ping finally understood that Ma Zhongxia's nine hundred and ninety-nine originally came from this way.

"Mom!" Liang Ping shouted angrily: "I'm a human, not anything else, how can you count it like this?" ”

Qi Rui couldn't be angry, "Auntie, where are you marrying your daughter, obviously selling your daughter." ”

You dare to say that you came to ask for a kiss! Ma Zhongxia became angry, stood up and pointed at Qi Ruiqing's nose and scolded: "What's the matter with selling my daughter, if you don't buy it, if you don't buy it, get out of me!" ”

Since he tore his face, Qi Ruiqing was not afraid of her, and replied with a stalk around his neck: "I want you to marry your daughter, and I won't buy it if you sell your daughter." ”

"Don't buy it, do you?" Ma Zhongxia picked up the broom pimple behind the door and called it, "If you don't buy it, don't stand on the ground of my house." ”

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Liang Ping hurriedly stepped forward to grab the broom in Ma Zhongxia's hand, the broom head was full of soil, Ma Zhongxia was very energetic, and the house was dusty for a while, Qi Ruiqing ran out of the house with his nose covered, and did not forget to shout, "I won't buy it, you can keep it and sell it at a good price." ”
