Chapter 90: A sky-high bride price of 600 yuan
At this time, Zhou Ran was even more glad that he had saved enough money before Zhou Qingli's tragic fate happened.
Zhou Ran pulled He Chunhua into the house, and told He Chunhua, "Mother, when I go to Zhou's house later, the bride price of others is a few hundred yuan, and you have to agree, out of the money I gave you, and solve the third brother's marriage first." ”
When He Chunhua heard that Zhou Ran was going to move her dowry, she immediately disagreed, "How can this work?" If people ask for too much money, they will definitely not succeed, it is a dowry saved for you, and you can't touch it. ”
"Mother, my dowry can be saved slowly, don't worry, I have a job now, I can get a salary every month, and I can save this money.
At present, the third brother's affairs are the most important, don't let the third brother miss a good marriage because of a little money. ”
He Chunhua saw that Zhou Ran was serious, so she agreed, "Okay, okay, isn't it okay for my mother to listen to you?" ”
Knowing that her daughters are good to her brothers, He Chunhua is also very pleased.
As parents, they actually want to see mutual help and friendship between siblings.
When the day they go, they know that they can support each other to go on.
In the afternoon, He Chunhua and Zhou Shuhua took Zhou Qingli to Wang Li's house.
Liu Lifen wanted to follow along.
She was afraid that her parents-in-law would promise too many benefits to others, and she would suffer a loss.
When Zhou Qingyi married her, her in-laws gave her a bride price of fifty yuan.
If you give the third child a daughter-in-law, you can't give too much.
She has to maintain the same level as much as the third daughter-in-law gives. Even if she is married now, she should make up for it.
If you don't follow along, how can you know what's going on?
Seeing Liu Lifen following, He Chunhua reprimanded a little unhappily, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing with it?" Hurry up and stay at home. ”
Liu Lifen smiled and said, "Mother, let's go with more people in our family, don't we have more momentum?" I'm going to be able to hold up some scenes. ”
He Chunhua glanced at Liu Lifen, "This is for your third brother to say goodbye, not to fight, what kind of momentum do you want, you stay at home honestly for me, don't make trouble for me." ”
was scolded by He Chunhua, Liu Lifen couldn't go even if she wanted to.
The last to go to Wang Li's house were only Zhou Shuhua, He Chunhua, and Zhou Qingli.
Wang Li's family didn't expect the Zhou family to suddenly come to visit. The two families usually don't interact much, so they asked, "What are we doing here?" ”
He Chunhua said with a smiling face, "Lili Niang, our family came here this time to talk about family affairs with your family."
My family is not young for three years, and I think your family Lili is a good girl.
Today, I want to ask, do our two families have a chance to get married. ”
Hearing He Chunhua's words, Wang Liniang was silent for a moment, and replied directly, "I guess there is no chance, our family Lili's family affairs have already been said." ”
Wang Liniang didn't mean to talk to the Zhou family, the in-laws she found for her daughter could pay a bride price of 500 yuan, and the Zhou family couldn't afford so much money even if the conditions were good in the countryside.
He Chunhua didn't mean to give up, but continued, "Lili Niang, our family is sincere in asking for marriage.
I think Lili is a good girl, our third child likes this child very much, you see, can we discuss it well......"
Before Wang Li's parents could refuse, Wang Li heard the movement outside the house and ran out. Hearing the conversation between his parents and the Zhou family, he immediately said, "Mother, I want to marry Zhou Qingli, not someone else."
Father, mother, you will fulfill me......"
After Wang Li finished speaking, she knelt in front of her parents with a "plop".
Wang Li's parents understood it at this time, and their daughter might have hooked up with Zhou Qingli a long time ago. Otherwise, it was such a coincidence there, as soon as Wang Li's marriage was decided, the Zhou family came to their house to propose marriage.
"You dead girl, your father and I have worked hard to bring you up, and you dare to go against us?
Marriage is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of your parents, we will marry whoever you want to marry, where is your turn to make your own decisions? ”
After Wang Liniang finished speaking, Wang Li's sister-in-law accosted her beside her, "That's it, little sister, your parents raised you so big, it's time for you to repay, you can't even lose your conscience because of some casual people." ”
Hearing what Wang Li's parents said, He Chunhua was angry.
If it weren't for her son's liking, Wang Li's parents and family, she would really not be rare to be in-laws with others.
He Chunhua said patiently with the displeasure in her heart, "Lili Dad, Lili Niang, you see that the new society is different, it is not the same as before, it is not popular to arrange marriages in the past, we have to listen to the thoughts and opinions of the children, right?"
Since the two children look at each other, why don't they fulfill them?
Our Zhou family also knows the roots, everyone is in the same production team, and it will be convenient to come and go in the future, right?
When Lili's girl marries, we will definitely not treat her badly. ”
Wang Liniang snorted.
"Speaking is better than singing, our family is not stupid.
My daughter can marry someone from the city, why should I let her marry a countryman?
If someone can pay a bride price of 500 yuan in the city, can your family pay it?
If your family can pay 500, no, 600 yuan bride price, I will agree to this marriage, otherwise don't even think about it. ”
Wang Liniang planned to sell her daughter from the beginning.
There are 500 people in the city, and 600 to find the Zhou family. The conditions of the Zhou family are not as good as those in the city, and there will be less help to their family in the future, so they must need more money, and it is not too much to ask for an extra hundred yuan.
However, Wang Liniang felt that the Zhou family would definitely not be able to come up with so much money.
Not to mention the Zhou family, no one in the entire production team can marry a daughter-in-law and come up with so much money.
If you marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside, a few dozen dollars cheaper is enough.
It's rare to spend a hundred.
Although Wang Liniang is wonderful, she is still an understanding person in the end, and their daughter is not inlaid with gold and silver, why did people spend so much money to marry back?
Zhou Qingli heard Wang Liniang's words, and his fists clenched together.
Although he wants to marry Wang Li and be with him, he is very aware of the family's economic conditions.
Six hundred yuan, it is absolutely impossible for the family to come up with.
can't because of his personal affairs, forcing the family to borrow money everywhere, and even the family will not be able to live in the future.
If Zhou Ran hadn't specially told him, He Chunhua would probably have directly scolded the Wang family for selling her daughter.
Thinking of her daughter's words, He Chunhua said, "Cheng, six hundred is six hundred, Lili Niang, our family has to pay the six hundred bride price, but we have to say that we will marry Lili's girl to our family for a celebration." ”
Zhou Qingli was directly stunned, and he was a little skeptical that he had heard it wrong.
His mother actually agreed? Where did you get all this money at home?
"Mother, six hundred yuan, can our family get it?" Zhou Qingli couldn't help but remind.
Six hundred, not sixty.
If it's sixty yuan, you can get it together, and six hundred yuan is definitely an astronomical amount for a countryman.
