Extra-Engagement 3
On the way back to the Spring Garden, the father and mother tried to use Chu You as a breakthrough and reduce the "sky-high" bride price.
However, although Chu You was very respectful to the two elders, he pushed back the words in a calm manner, and used the old lady Chu as a shield, saying that the old man had a hot temper and said nothing, and he had no right to change the things that had been decided.
Father and Mother: ......
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.
Over the years, they never imagined that one day they would be troubled by their daughter's bride price too much.
Yu Yu, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't interject, she looked at her father and mother who were worried about her through the rearview mirror, and her heart rose with the same troubles as them.
I used to think that I was a little rich woman, but now I ...... The bride price given by Chu You's family really frightened her.
The black Mercedes-Benz drove into Chunhuayuan, and just stopped at the bottom of the unit, and a neighbor passing by recognized the father and mother, and knew that they were going to discuss the engagement with the future son-in-law's family today, and immediately asked curiously-
"Old, how was lunch?"
Father: ......
His face did not change, and he dialed a thousand pounds in four or two: "It's okay." β
When the words fell, afraid that the old neighbor would be too direct, Nian's father hurriedly turned his head to Nian Yu and said, "Aren't you and Ah You still in trouble?" Let's go on a hot day. β
Remainder: ???
Something?
What's the matter?
Didn't you say that you fed the watermelon before going out, and let her and Chu You go up and eat a few pieces?
The husband and wife of the mother and the father of the year for twenty or thirty years could see what the other party wanted to do at a glance, and hurriedly said: "Lao Li, when will your son be admitted to Qingdao University?" We must go. β
The attention of the old neighbor called Lao Li was immediately diverted, and his face was full of pride that could not be concealed, and he talked eloquently.
Nian's mother took the opportunity to glance at Yu Nian, and motioned for her and Chu You to leave quickly.
Under normal circumstances, of course she and her father would not hide things like bride price, but if they say it now, it will inevitably have a sense of showing off their wealth.
Even some people who can't see their good things have to say that they sell their daughters for glory, and more things are better than less things.
Nian Yu guessed something from his mother's behavior, and turned his head to look at his boyfriend.
And Chu You silently started the car.
As the engine sounded, the black Mercedes gradually disappeared from view.
Lao Li turned his head to take a look after realizing it, and sighed distractedly that the eighteen changes of the female college, the little girl who grew up watching it since she was a child is about to get married and start a family in a blink of an eye.
His son is only in college this year, and he has to wait.
But...... Qingda, the highest university in the country!
Lao Li's waist straightened again.
The three of them chatted non-stop at the door of the unit building under the outdoor heat, and finally it was the old mother who saw that Chu You's car had disappeared without a trace, so she said: "There is a watermelon at home, go back and chat while eating melons, it's cool." β
The young father answered and looked at the neighbor Lao Li.
Lao Li couldn't stop his mouth unsatisfied, and when he walked into the corridor, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something just now.
Forgot something?
Just thinking about it, Nian's father's voice sounded again, "Lao Li, when will the school start at Qing University?" β
Lao Li immediately put the doubts in his heart behind him, and came back to his strength, "...... in early September"
ββ
The sun is scorching, and the heat is scorching the earth.
The air conditioning in the cabin is abundant and the temperature is suitable.
For more than a year, he leaned lazily on the back of the chair, tilting his head and staring at the man who was driving.
The traffic light above the zebra crossing jumped to red and began the countdown, Chu You stopped the car steadily, and turned his head to meet his girlfriend's eyes.
"See what?"
Yu puffed out his cheeks, "Doctor Chu, you are still an invisible rich second generation!" β
When she said this, she naughtily poked his arm with her finger and quietly vented her emotions.
Chu You glanced at the countdown of more than 100 seconds, put down the handbrake and grabbed her messy fingers, kneading them lightly and heavily.
"Well, you will be the fiancΓ©e of the rich second generation in the future."
He hooked his lips and chuckled softly, "Mine is yours." β
The amount of bride price mentioned by his grandmother and Chu Qi today is not only what the two of them added to him privately, but also all the property in his name.
He wanted to give her everything he had.
Yu Yu pursed his red lips and looked delicate, "It's too much." β
Not only is she stressed, but her parents are also stressed.
She knew that in her parents' previous plan, she would be about the same age, find someone with a similar family background, and form a small family together.
When she got married, the man's family offered a similar bride price, and her parents would give her the same dowry, which was the confidence they gave her.
But now...... She could feel the helplessness of her parents, both happy for her and worried about her.
She knew that they loved her, they didn't care about the bride price, they just wanted an attitude from the Chu You family, but the weight of this attitude was too heavy.
Her own income is among the top in Jianan, although there is pressure, but she can still bear it.
But her parents are all doing ordinary jobs, with a fairly good income in Jianan, and they have saved some money for most of their lives, thinking that they can give her enough confidence when she gets married.
Now the bride price given by Chu You's family is overwhelming, they are just ordinary people, and they have never seen so much money in their lives.
The huge gap in family background makes the old mother, who has always been able to speak well, extremely silent today.
For more than a year, I can feel the good intentions of her parents, and I also feel the dazed and guilty that they are hiding today.
is at a loss for Chu You's extraordinary family background, and guilt for not being able to provide her with sufficient confidence.
Chu You heard a bit solemnity from his girlfriend's coquettish tone, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I want to give you more." β
He also wanted to show his future father-in-law and mother-in-law his heart and determination to marry her through the actual money figures.
Nian Yu understood what he meant, she held his fingertips with her anti-guest eyes, and stared at him with clear eyes, "Chu You, but my parents are ordinary people." β
"They like you very much and value you very much, will they stop me from marrying you if you give me an ordinary dowry?"
The love of parents for their children is far-reaching.
She understands her parents' stress and concerns.
If her parents knew Chu You's family background from the beginning, they might not have a positive and supportive attitude towards her and his relationship.
After all, in her parents' place, Chu You is an excellent young man with excellent character and a good future.
In their simple values, Chu You is a worthy marriage partner who has a stable career and can support a small family in the future.
Yu Nian Yu said all these thoughts, trying to make him understand her and her parents.
Chu You unconsciously clenched her hand, and the red light in front of her quietly entered the countdown of 3, 2, and 1, and the convoy behind them sounded the sound of engines.
He let go of her hand and started the car.
