Chapter 318: The Bride Price Issue
"If you want me to say, even if the Zheng family doesn't propose to add a bride price, we have to take the initiative to add it. This is not only the face of the Zheng family, but also the face of our Qiao family. ”
"If she was withdrawn from her family, it would have had some impact on her, but now that this incident has happened, if we wait for the Zheng family to mention it, the faces of the two families will not look good at that time."
Qiao's mother hesitated a little, "It's such a reason, but it's ......"
"Mom, are you worried about money?"
Qiao's mother nodded, and she didn't hide it from her.
"Over the years, my family has also saved some money, a total of 7,000 yuan. When your eldest brother and second brother got married, they didn't spend much, and your two sisters-in-law each asked for a bride price of 1,000 yuan. Originally, the Zheng family's bride price was much higher than that of others, and your two sisters-in-law might have ideas in their hearts, but if they added it, they were afraid that there would be conflicts. ”
Qiao Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "This time is different from the past, this price is still higher than a year, not to mention the bride price." But you're right to be worried, after all, there are two sisters-in-law watching from the sidelines, which is too much, and they must have something in their hearts. Otherwise, I'll call the third brother over and ask him what he means? ”
Qiao's mother nodded.
Qiao Xiaoxiao went out and called Qiao Dajiang in.
"Mom, what are you calling me?"
"Your marriage, of course. You've also heard about the Chu family's side, tell me, what do you think? ”
Qiao Dajiang was confused, "What do you think?" Of course, I don't have an idea. I'm married to Zheng Hao, what's the matter with the Guan Chu family? ”
Qiao's mother was so angry with this stupid son that she slapped him on the back of the head, "You have eaten for so many years in vain!" ”
Qiao Dajiang felt that he was really wronged, what did he say wrong?
Qiao Xiaoxiao shook her head unbearably and analyzed the matter with him.
"That's the thing, now we have to take care of the faces of the two families, but also the thoughts of the two sisters-in-law, third brother, you say, what about this?"
Qiao Dajiang slapped his thigh: "Plus, we must add the bride price, and we must not lose to the Chu family!" Such a good girl, isn't she a hundred heads stronger than Chu Qian, who is nothing? Why can Chu Qian have a bride price of 7,000, but we only have 5,000? Isn't their family doing this just to make us look good? We have to outdo them! ”
Qiao Xiaodao: "My mother and I also mean to add, but how much is appropriate?" ”
Qiao Dajiang didn't think about it and said, "Add it to 10,000!" ”
Qiao's mother glared at him with some headaches.
"You said it lightly, what to add? How much to add? ”
Qiao Dajiang insisted on his own ideas: "I took out all the money I earned during this time. ”
"That's not far off! At most, the family can only give you 5,000, and no matter how much you can't get out. Da Jiang, there is more than one son in the family, if it is only you, let alone 10,000, it is to smash the pot and sell iron, and I will also make your marriage beautiful. But I can't help but think about your two brothers. They have also contributed to the family over the years, and Mom can't just be close to you. ”
Qiao's mother was embarrassed, but the five thousand far exceeded the cost of the first two daughters-in-law when they got married.
Although the savings in her hands are all saved from the wages of the children's fathers, but these old and second children have not less subsidized the family, originally she was thinking about the money saved in her hands, and after the third child got married, she took it out and divided it equally among the three sons.
Now it's really hard for her.
Qiao Dajiang thought for a long time with a tight mouth, "I'll figure out the money by myself, anyway, this bride price must be added to a higher price than the Chu family." ”
