Chapter 233: Make up your mind
"Big brother, Chen Jinlan opened her mouth, the request was too unreasonable, I told Lijuan, the one hundred yuan dowry she asked for, as well as the sewing machine and watch, are no problem, the rest is not good, I can't afford it, if she wants to marry, she will marry, and I don't blame her if she doesn't want to marry."
According to Chen Jinlan's request to marry her daughter, it is difficult for Zhang Lijuan to marry out in Shili Eight Villages, and the three major items that people can give to their daughter-in-law are all high-quality weddings, Chen Jinlan even wants a black and white TV, that thing costs hundreds of yuan, who can buy it from ordinary people, and it is useless to put it at home, who has time to sit at home and watch TV every day.
If Zhang Lijuan is willing to marry him, he will not treat Zhang Lijuan badly in the future, there is a bicycle left by the eldest brother at home, and there is no need to buy a new one.
He can try his best to satisfy the watch sewing machine and the bride price, after all, he has dozens of deposits in his hands, and his mother also has more than 200 yuan in his hands, plus 300 yuan, and then he can borrow about 200 yuan from his eldest brother to get married.
Of course, borrowing the eldest brother's money, he will use his salary to pay off his debts, and he can pay it off in less than a year, and all the money he earns in the future will be saved for Zhang Lijuan, but if Zhang Lijuan's family does not let go and has to have a black and white TV, then he can only give up this relationship.
He admitted that he liked Zhang Lijuan, but he didn't get to the point where he couldn't recognize Zhang Lijuan, if Zhang Lijuan's family didn't let go, the two of them could only give up, and he wouldn't think about getting married in the past two years, and just save money for two years.
"It's good that you have a decision in your heart." Si Chen's face softened a lot, and he said lightly: "Yaoyao and I will help you when you get married, but I have the same idea as you, don't buy black and white TVs and bicycles for the time being, and you can make up your own mind about the rest." ”
Hearing that the eldest brother was on the same front as him, Si Boyi was in a much more relaxed mood, and swore and promised: "Big brother, don't worry, I'm not a soft-eared person, if Lijuan really wants to live with me, she will lower her requirements, I will be good to her in the future, if she admits death, if she doesn't let go of those things, then I won't delay her to find a partner." ”
Although Si Boyi has a stubborn temperament, he is also an assertive person in his heart, and some things are also very clear, although he does not have a new house to get married, looking at it, there are few people in ten miles and eight villages who get married and build a new tile house.
Other people's wedding gifts are generally between 20 and 60, and one of the three major pieces is considered good, Chen Jinlan not only asked for three major pieces and a black and white TV set, but also asked for a 100 bride price without marriage.
He doesn't have a problem with not marrying, but the black-and-white TV and bicycle are completely unjustly spent.
Chen Jinlan knew that he didn't have so much money, but he still wanted so many things, obviously he was coming for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, this kind of small abacus was too loud, and Si Boyi couldn't accept it.
Besides, against Chen Jinlan's temper, if Zhang Lijuan didn't have her own ideas, she would definitely be unstable by Chen Jinlan after getting married in the future, so it would be better to break it now.
"You are not small, you can figure out what you can do, after all, it is your lifelong event, you and Lijuan discuss it yourself, if you can set a date, Yaoyao and I will go back to help you have a wedding." 's father is not there, as the eldest brother, Si Chen still has to go back to help preside over the overall situation when his younger brother gets married.
As long as Chen Jinlan is not too excessive, he has no big opinion on this marriage.
Si Boyi clenched the phone and said: "Big brother, don't worry, although I have a stubborn temper, I am not a person who will not weigh a few pounds and taels of myself, Chen Jinlan wants to pinch me, don't even think about it." ”
Before marrying Zhang Lijuan, he and Zhang Lijuan were not a family, of course, they would not have differences with the eldest brother for an outsider.
In Si Boyi's heart, Si Chen is like a father, and he firmly believes that his eldest brother will not harm him.
"If you have an idea, I'll hang up first, and you can go back and rest early."
Si Chen hung up the phone and led Tong Yao out of the telephone hall, the night wind blew, Tong Yao shrank coldly, Si Chen took off his coat and draped it on her body.
"Although Boyi is honest, he is not a person without ideas, we will wait for the news."
Tong Yao also heard Si Boyi's words just now, and secretly thought that he was good to Si Boyi in vain, since he was so sensible, it wouldn't hurt to help him a little more.
"If Zhang Lijuan is really willing to take a step back and marry Boyi, we can't treat them badly when they get married, and we will give them a gift of two hundred yuan at that time!"
Tong Yao has calculated the wedding expenses, if Zhang Lijuan agrees to Si Boyi's request, she will have a gift of 200 yuan, and the young couple will still have extra money after they get married, plus Si Boyi's current salary, the two of them will not live a bad life, better than more than 90% of the people in the village.
In another year or two, when the family builds a small western-style house, she will also make a big head.
Whether Zhang Lijuan has that blessed life depends on her choice this time.
At this time, Zhang Lijuan was in a hurry at home, and Si Boyi got along for a few months, her impression of Si Boyi is getting better and better, from the very beginning of trying to contact, to now I really like my boss Boyi, usually Si Boyi listens to her everywhere, and is quite accustomed to her, and treats her very well.
Who knew that in the matter of the bride price, Si Boyi started a bull temper, and he was unwilling to agree to her family's request.
In fact, the 100 yuan bride price, plus a watch and a sewing machine, is also the highest bride price in ten miles and eight villages, but her mother doesn't let go, she has to have a black and white TV and a bicycle, not one less.
Now Si Boyi ignored her, and when she received a call from her, she said that if the bride price was unwilling to retreat, there would be no need for the two of them to go down, thinking that there was a beautiful girl in Si Boyi's store, Zhang Lijuan couldn't sit still, and ran to Chen Jinlan's room crying.
"Mom, you said that you would have a better life after following Boyi, why do you deliberately ask for such a high bride price now, didn't you break up me with Boyi? Now Bo Yi has said, at most a hundred yuan and a sewing machine and a watch, if our family has to have a black and white TV and a bicycle, he will not deal with me, now the village knows about me and his affairs, if he really doesn't want me, where will I have the face to stay in the village in the future! ”
"Why did I give birth to such a hopeless girl as you." Chen Jinlan poked her daughter's forehead angrily and scolded: "You can't calm down? Today, Lin Fengying also came to me to say that you are married, their family is a singing black face, and a white face, if our family loosens their mouth now, they will be on the set, you don't care about this matter, let's calm down, their family must compromise, Si Chen and Tong Yao open a milk tea shop in the city, and they make a lot of money a month, don't want it now, where do you have the name to ask them for money in the future? ”
