Chapter 337: Interview, Clear Purpose
Mrs. Xu was invited to Xitang Century City.
The call was made by Grandma Jiang, and Mrs. Xu knew that there were two old people in the Jiang family, so when Grandma Jiang said who she was, Mrs. Xu did not doubt it.
I bought some fruits outside the community, and took two boxes of deer antler velvet and other things from home, and carried them upstairs together.
She knocked on the door, and it was Grandma Jiang who opened the door.
"It's coming, it's coming pretty quickly." Grandma Jiang let open the door and let Mrs. Xu in.
Mrs. Xu smiled, and wanted to change her shoes when she entered the door, because the room was very clean. In addition, I am used to changing my slippers when I enter the door. However, there were no slippers at the door, and neither Grandma Jiang nor Grandpa Jiang, who came out to check the situation at this moment, were wearing slippers.
Grandma Jiang was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, looking at the stains and ash on the uppers, there was no doubt that they were shoes worn out of the house, while Grandpa Jiang was barefoot.
Mrs. Xu hesitated for a while, and she asked, "Do I need to change my shoes?" ”
"What shoes? No, we are rural people, and we are not so particular. Grandma Jiang said and had already entered the house.
Mrs. Xu entered the living room, put all the fruits and things on the coffee table, greeted the two old men with a smile, and then looked at Father Jiang.
"Father Jiang Xi's health is okay lately?" Mrs. Xu asked.
Father Jiang nodded: "It's good, thank you for your concern." ”
"In this way, Mrs. Xu, we won't say anything else, our family is not the kind of person who beats around the bush, just say it directly. That's right, our family, I called you here to discuss with you about my granddaughter's dowry. Although Jiang Xi is already married, we haven't seen any of the gift money given by the Sheng family for marriage. This is really a loss for our family who raised children. ”
Grandma Jiang sat on the single sofa like an uncle, and her posture was very upright.
Mrs. Xu twisted her eyebrows when she heard this: "Dowry? ”
"Yes, when our granddaughter got married, our Xu family didn't see a penny, isn't this in accordance with the rules? Not to mention that she is married to a rich family like the Sheng family, even if she marries someone in our town casually, the man will have to pay tens of thousands of dowry money, right? The Sheng family is such a decent family, Mrs. Xu, if you say that the Sheng family didn't give your Xu family money, I will definitely not believe it. So, let me tell you about our plans. Yes, after all, the child was born by you, although there is an old saying that the biological mother is not as big as the adoptive mother, but we don't care much about you. The dowry given by the Sheng family, how about our two families split it in half? ”
Grandma Jiang stared at Mrs. Xu with shrewd eyes, and then said: "We are very fair, we didn't let all of your Xu family call out, we ask for half of it, not too much!" No one will say anything too much. ”
Mrs. Xu wrinkled her eyebrows and said: "Grandma Jiang Xi, it's not that our Xu family doesn't give it, but the Sheng family does have an expression for the sake of the two in-laws, but the Sheng family does not give money, but gives the Xu family some business and cooperation opportunities, which is not money." ”
"I knew you would say that, how could it be that you didn't give a penny?" Grandma Jiang asked angrily.
Mrs. Xu paused, "It's true that no money was given, the Sheng family and the Xu family are all businessmen, if they all use money to deal with their children's marriages, then what is the difference between this marriage and trading?" Businessmen sometimes talk a little bit of affection, so we don't even talk about money, but the two have reached a sense of cooperation. ”
Grandma Jiang waved her hand and said with anger on her face: "I don't believe your nonsense!" I guessed that you would definitely use these messy excuses to prevaricate our Xu family, and you also want to not give a penny, no way! If you don't give it, I'll go to court and sue you! Our Jiang family pulled the girl up with a handful of and urine, and now that the girl is married, our Jiang family hasn't seen half a penny, our family asks your Xu family to give money, this is not too much, where do we go out and stand, let whoever comment, we can stand! ”
Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and shook her head: "That's not the case, old lady, both of us are businessmen." I think you've heard of marriage, right? The two families who are the right family can cooperate deeply through marriage. They are all businessmen, and the greater the cooperation in the project, the more uneasy they are about each other. But if it's an in-law relationship, it's different. ”
Grandma Jiang raised her head and wanted to refute, but finally swallowed her words.
Father Jiang said loudly: "Mom, I have indeed heard such a statement again. Therefore, the Sheng family may really not take the money. ”
Now rich people talk about elegance, not money, it is not impossible.
Besides, if two juniors get married, if you let the two businesses do it together, it seems that this is also a very cost-effective deal.
Grandma Jiang immediately reacted: "No, if it weren't for the children raised by our family, would you be able to marry the Sheng family?" Can you do business together? After all, your Xu family has benefited, but what about our Jiang family? Just because we don't do business and are not businessmen, can you deprive us of the right to enjoy our children's filial piety? ”
When the words fell, Grandma Jiang spat out a mouthful of "phew" to the ground!
Mrs. Xu immediately frowned, obviously she had never seen such a rude and uncivilized person.
Grandma Jiang shouted angrily: "No way! ”
Xu Tai took a deep breath and turned his face away: "Father Jiang Xi, I don't know what you planned?" Do you want our family to give you a sum of money? ”
Grandma Jiang immediately answered: "Then do you still need to ask?" You should take the initiative in this matter, Mrs. Xu, you are also a decent family, but you do things in a stumbling and childish manner. The child was born to you, but it was raised by us, don't you want to refute it? ”
Mrs. Xu shook her head: "No." ”
"Then it's easy to do, Jiang Xi got married, your family has usurped the rights that your mother's family should have, and our Jiang family doesn't even have a drizzle. Your family gives our Jiang family a little compensation, it's not too much, right? ”
Grandma Jiang began to bargain: "At least 500,000 yuan, you have to give it, right?" ”
"Old lady, this is ...... Do you want to sell Jiang Xi again? Mrs. Xu asked.
She originally wanted to mention that the Jiang family had already thanked the Jiang family for helping the Xu family raise Jiang Xi at the beginning, but when she mentioned it, if it reached Jiang Xi's ears, Jiang Xi would probably not set foot in the Xu family again in his life.
Grandma Jiang didn't react to this, but said, "Do you think 500,000 is too much?" Mrs. Xu, do the math yourself, your family and the Sheng family do business together, and the money you can make will definitely be more than 500,000 yuan. It's just that your profit is behind, and we want 500,000 at a time. But your family is making money endlessly. So don't scold us lions in your heart, I'll open this number, it's absolutely fair! ”
Mrs. Xu knew very well that she would not speculate with this old lady, and turned directly to Father Jiang.
"Father Jiang Xi, do you want to dissociate yourself from Jiang Xi in this way? This money, once you ask for it, in Jiang Xi's opinion, you can sell her by buying and selling. ”
Father Jiang twisted his eyebrows, there is no doubt that Jiang Xi will be extremely angry after knowing about this.
"It's not that I want to push Jiang Xi out in this way, Xi Xi is also my daughter. Grandma Jiang Xi's expression is a little excessive, Mrs. Xu, don't misunderstand......"
Father Jiang didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Grandma Jiang: "Wen Qiang, now is not the time to be polite, you have to understand that Jiang Xi was raised by our Jiang family, and it is natural to ask for a bride price." Who marries their daughter now and doesn't receive a penny? ”
"Old lady, do you know about this? If she doesn't know, I think I can ask her to come over and we'll talk about it. If she thinks that this money should be given, okay, then our Xu family must pay you without saying a word. But if ......"
"Mrs. Xu, don't be so deductive! Without our Jiang family, your daughter would have starved to death in a stinky ditch! What is your attitude towards raising your own daughter? It's not like you can't get 500,000! ”
Mrs. Xu smiled, and her attitude was still very good.
"Then I may ask, Grandma Jiang, since this 500,000 yuan is for you, why can't you know it? Our two families have money exchanges, and we have the right to know. Just like the original 200,000, we can't hide it from her. ”
Grandma Jiang took a deep breath: "Mrs. Xu! Even if it's a thank you fee......"
"We have already expressed our gratitude to Fei two years ago, and 200,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, right? Don't forget it so quickly. "Da Taidao.
Grandma Jiang scolded the Xu family in her heart for slamming the door and not giving such a little money.
"Then I'll ask you, Mrs. Xu, how much do you plan to give our family?" Grandma Jiang asked Mrs. Xu directly.
Mrs. Xu wrinkled her eyebrows, "Why do you want to give money?" As a family member, isn't it more important to see her married happily than money? ”
"Phew!"
Grandma Jiang shouted disdainfully again: "Of course you rich people don't disdain money, we are poor!" The poor just want money, otherwise, we won't recognize the Sheng family's marriage. ”
Mrs. Xu was endlessly sarcastic in her heart, but she still smiled dignified and elegant.
"Grandma Jiang, I have some ...... about your thoughts. I can't agree that the marriage between Jiang Xi and Sheng Jianian is not recognized by anyone. Their marriage has long been protected by law. ”
Grandma Jiang was angry and stomped her feet: "Does your family give money?" ”
"Grandma Jiang, please give me a suitable reason!" Mrs. Xu said: "This is not charity, every penny given, I also have to apply with our master." ”
When Grandma Jiang heard it, hey, there's a play.
"Jiang Xi is the girl we raised in our family, isn't she? Our girl got married, and our Jiang family didn't get a single hair, isn't it too much? But what about your Xu family? I will definitely make a lot of money in the future, don't you think it's unfair? ”
Mrs. Xu said: "Why don't you talk about this matter before you get married?" ”
"Who knows what the two of them think? This family can't be without me being the master! The old lady said angrily.
Mrs. Xu smiled: "If this is the reason, it is a great joy for our Xu family to marry a daughter, and we are naturally willing to share the joy with the Jiang family." If only money can make you happy, I'll go back and report back to my family and give you some. ”
"Five hundred thousand!" Grandma Jiang immediately said excitedly.
Xu Tai's eyes were faint: "No, fifty thousand." ”
It is the number mentioned by Grandma Jiang herself, it is tens of thousands of yuan in the town, and when she says it here, it is obviously an exaggeration, so Mrs. Xu gave this number.
