Chapter 79 Tuition
After Lin Jie agreed to Meng Nanfeng's marriage proposal, Meng Nanfeng asked his parents to take the matchmaker to Lin's house to propose marriage after two days, just after preparing a marriage proposal at home.
The marriage was discussed very smoothly, and the engagement was scheduled for the end of this month, before Lin Jie went north to study.
As for the wedding, the two unanimously decided to wait until the end of their studies.
After the Meng family's parents left, the Wang family handed over the 20,000 yuan dowry from the Meng family to Lin Jie.
"Then, you can keep this money yourself, you are so old, my mother will not help you take care of it, but don't spend it indiscriminately, when you get married in the future, you will take it back to the Meng family." Wang explained in detail.
Lin Jie nodded in response and said, "Mom, I can save it." I'm going to save this money for a three-year term. “
"Yes, that's a good idea." Wang boasted, and then changed the conversation and said: "The tuition fee for your study in the north this time, how much money your parents' supermarket still earns, can only give you half, and half of it is borrowed by your brother and sister-in-law." Your brother said that the prices in Beijing are much more expensive than ours, and you have to save some flowers when you get to Beijing, you know? “
Lin Jie hurriedly said: "Mom, I know, hey, it's all daughters who are useless, they have worked in the unit all these years, and they haven't saved much money, this person is almost thirty years old, and he has to make his parents embarrassed to study." “
"Nonsense, where is the difficulty, you can be admitted to college, it is too late for me and your father to be happy, no matter how difficult it is, it is not difficult! Don't say anything discouraged! Wang smiled and patted Lin Jie's head melon.
Cheng Jiao, who was watching from the sidelines, pursed her lips jealously and didn't say anything.
But Zhang couldn't help but jump out and speak: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you're wrong, how old are you this girl, and the marriage is also decided, why do you still have to pay this tuition fee to our family?" In the future, I will marry into the man's family, and the job will not be the same, so I said that the tuition should be paid by the Meng family. “
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Jie's face froze, and her brows furrowed deeply.
"No, this tuition shouldn't be from the Meng family." It was Lin Xue who spoke: "Xiaojie hasn't married into the Meng family yet, this is the first point, and the second point is that our family can't afford this tuition, if we really ask the Meng family to pay this tuition, their family conditions are good, it's not that they can't afford it, but what will people's parents think, can Xiaojie still afford to marry in the future?" “
Wang nodded in agreement, relieved, she was really afraid that her husband would also have the same idea as her mother-in-law, Wang Zhen has been so competitive all her life, and she has never had the habit of taking advantage of others, in the matter of Lin Jie's study, she is even more unwilling to pay for the Meng family, even if the Meng family really pays for the tuition and doesn't say anything, but Wang Zhen is also afraid that her daughter will be looked down upon by the Meng family's parents because of this matter.
"What can be looked down upon." Zhang's pouted disapprerovingly: "You are stupid, raising daughters-in-law for nothing, and spending a lot of tuition fees to cultivate cash cows for others!" You two are a pair of in-laws who are so stupid that they are bubbling, do you think that if you pay Lin Jie tuition, the Meng family can afford you, heh, maybe people will scold you for being stupid in their hearts, and give money to other people's daughters-in-law for nothing......"
Zhang's words made Lin Jie's face red, and before Zhang finished speaking, Lin Jie interrupted her emotionally.
"Grandma, don't talk about it......" Lin Jie's eyes had a little tear: "I will return the money for this tuition fee to my parents in the future, my parents, sister-in-law, I will write you an IOU today." “
