Cao Wei glanced at Wang Cuihua, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile

"It's okay, it's normal for my uncle and aunt to ask me about this! Auntie, where are we doing the normal bride price now, that is, 36,000! Thirty-eight thousand! There are forty or fifty thousand alive, and there are hundreds of thousands, it's hard to say! According to the man's family conditions and various factors, I don't want to tell you this! ”

Li Ting heard the bride price of more than 100,000 yuan, and said with some dumbfounded

"The bride price is 100,000 yuan, isn't this what Cuihua said, and it has directly become a sale of her daughter? Isn't the woman poor and crazy! How can there be such a parent in the world, it's just too ruthless! It's unreasonable to think about! Where do you have an acre of land, how much income can you earn in a year! That's not a small number! ”

Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was better not to ask my family how much income I could earn in a year, otherwise it would be completely exposed, so he hurriedly said with a smile

"Auntie, where do we rely on the sky to eat, if the wind and rain are smooth, an acre of wheat is at most seven or eight hundred catties, that is, seven or eight hundred yuan, excluding seeds, fertilizers and agricultural machinery, one mu can be four or five hundred yuan, and the average family is only five or six acres of land, and the income in a year is three or four thousand yuan! If there is a man in the family who goes out and works part-time, the income will be more than 10,000 yuan a year! ”

Li Ting frowned, rolled her eyes, made a rough calculation, and said thoughtfully

"According to your calculations, marrying a daughter-in-law wouldn't you have to save money for ten years without eating or drinking! Fortunately, both of my sons are married, otherwise they would have died of sorrow! That's right! As you just said, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 people, why can there be so much difference between the two! What the hell is going on! ”

Cao Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, because he didn't know how to ask this question, what he just said, that is his own, the bride price that he will face when he gets married in his hometown, as the saying goes, there is a reason why it is expensive, and there is a reason why it is cheap, I wanted to say it directly, mainly because of the family background, but in this way, it is a little impolite, because people don't know after all, so they asked themselves, so they pursed their lips and said

"Auntie! The bride price of hundreds of thousands of yuan I just mentioned, the important thing is that the family is poor, and the terrain is not good, most of them are in the mountains, no girl is willing to marry her, and the woman sometimes uses the bride price to press, wanting the man to give up on his own initiative! There is also a kind of that some women's parents are more ruthless, thinking that Cuihua just said selling girls, regardless of their daughter's life in the future, only caring about their own immediate interests! As for the bride price of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, this is mainly due to the better family conditions, plus the woman's family background is also relatively good, and the main two young people can get along, and the bride price is symbolic! ”

Wang Cuihua heard that the poorer the family, the higher the bride price, she couldn't wait to grab the pillow next to her, flew over directly, and turned off Cao Wei, thinking if this kid was drunk with tea, how could he say anything, what kind of family he was, didn't he count it in his heart, did he want her parents to ask for a bride price of hundreds of thousands of yuan, but his parents were there, and he could only do it in a hurry, and he couldn't do anything else.

Li Ting glanced at Cao Wei when she heard this, and said in great puzzlement

"That's not right! The bride price is just a tradition left over from the older generation, how did it become like this where you are! Besides, it stands to reason that if the family background is better, the bride price is a little more, and if the family situation is a little worse, the bride price should be less, so it makes sense, how to get poorer the bride price, this daughter-in-law marries home, isn't it even poorer, when will the two dolls be able to pay off the account, as you just said, your annual income there, the family book is more than 10,000, and you have worked hard for more than ten years, I am afraid it is not enough for a daughter-in-law's bride price! Isn't this about human life? ”

Cao Wei pursed his lips and smiled extremely embarrassedly

"Auntie!! You're not wrong at all! Now like my hometown, if I marry a daughter-in-law, my family will basically be hollowed out, and almost all married families borrow money, after all, hundreds of thousands are not a small number! But as you just said, this kind of thing is generally not going to be repaid by the young couple! ”

Li Ting was instantly stunned when she heard that she didn't repay her debts when she got married, because since ancient times, she owes debts and repays money, and it is a matter of course

"Didn't you say that almost everyone who gets married has to borrow money, so how can you not pay back the money you owe to others, isn't this not discrediting? This is a help from others, so that the money for marrying a daughter-in-law is not repaid, isn't this a problem with character! ”

Cao Wei looked at Li Ting's disdainful expression, thinking that whoever doesn't know that asking for someone is tantamount to being embarrassed, and who doesn't know that his money is spent comfortably! Who has the money is willing to borrow money from others, this is not a way to do it, and although we are a little poor there, we will also be credited, but after all, they are Wang Cuihua's mother, even if they are uncomfortable, they have to smile accordingly, so they sighed and said extremely helplessly

"Alas! Auntie! It's all tears! I don't know when, the sage said, it is the obligation of parents to marry a daughter-in-law to their son, so now in our hometown, no matter whether the bride price is 350,000 or 100,000, as long as the marriage account is all paid by the parents, the young couple does not care about a penny! Marrying a daughter-in-law for a son, not a daughter-in-law for his parents, why should the daughter-in-law's money be paid by the parents, it makes people angry to think about it! ”

Li Ting looked at Cao Wei's extremely angry expression, and wanted to observe from the side whether this young man was a person with a conscience, so she said with a smile

"Xiao Cao! I love to hear what you say, Auntie! It's not hundreds of thousands, even if it's 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, for farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they can save thousands of yuan a year, which is already good, not to mention that the children are married, and the parents are not young, it is very likely that some old couples will pay off the money for their sons to marry daughters-in-law, I am afraid that the old ones will not be able to leave! If you say something ugly, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back until you die! You say how can there be such an ignorant woman in the world, it's a great sorrow in life! That's right! Then you will get married in the future, in case you borrow the account, you are ready to let your parents pay it back, or you and your daughter-in-law, two people to pay it back! ”

Cao Wei glanced at Wang Cuihua when he heard this, and thought to himself that your mother is quite a thief, and she actually started to trick my words, so he said righteously

"Auntie! If I really borrow the account when I get married in the future, it will definitely be me and my daughter-in-law to pay it back, because my parents raised me and have dedicated the first half of their life to me, and they can't dedicate the second half of their life to me, in that case, I will have no face! If I marry a daughter-in-law like that, I'd rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life! ”
