Chapter 17 Bride price

The night is getting darker, and the lights are on.

Ling Siye drove the Volkswagen back to the small courtyard, and Lin Xi was already busy happily in the kitchen.

Through the car window, Ling Si could hear the singing from the kitchen at night, and Lin Xi's happiness had overflowed the entire courtyard.

As soon as the vehicle turned off, Ling Siye walked to the kitchen with the specialties packed back from the Lingjia Hotel.

"Xiaoxi, I packed some vegetables and came back." Ling Siye put the dishes on the table.

"So many, where did you buy them?"

"Ling's Hotel."

"It's so expensive, but it's for my mother to eat better." Lin Xi smiled like a flower.

"Well, it should be."

Ling Siye left the kitchen and went upstairs to change clothes, he didn't want to meet his parents in a suit and leather shoes, so he had better dress casually.

As soon as Ling Siye changed his clothes and went downstairs, he saw a middle-aged woman walking into the courtyard, presumably, it was his mother-in-law.

Ling Siye saw Lin Xi hugging Zhang Feng and introducing her grandmother cordially, and her grandmother responded with a smile.

As soon as he saw Ling Siye come out, Lin Xi immediately greeted him with a smile and took Ling Siye's hand.

This was the first physical contact between Ling Siye and her, and Ling Siye obviously stiffened.

Lin Xi didn't notice Ling Siye's abnormality, she happily introduced Ling Siye: "Mom, he is Ling Siye." ”

"Mom." Ling Siye shouted faintly.

Zhang Feng looked at Ling Siye with a smile on his face: "Ah Ye, you are indeed a talent, and our Xiaoxi is also very good, you have to treat our Xiaoxi well." ”

It was obviously a compliment, but Ling Siye saw that her eyes were full of disgust.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will be good to Xiaoxi." Old Madam Ling took Zhang Feng's hand and said.

"Mom, don't worry, they're all very good to me."

"Let's eat first."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she went directly to the kitchen to serve the food, she felt a little strange with her mother, and she didn't know if it was because she hadn't seen her for many years.

Ling Siye saw that Zhang Feng's gaze did not linger on Lin Xi for too long, but kept looking at the small courtyard.

"Let's eat, Mom, I'll just make some random and buy a little outside." Lin Xi served a bowl of soup to each person, a simple seaweed egg drop soup.

Zhang Feng sat upright very seriously, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Mother-in-law, eat more." Old Madam Ling opened her mouth to greet Zhang Feng.

"I'm not going around in circles anymore, our Xiaoxi married into your family, how much dowry are you going to give?"

"Mom......" Lin Xi didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Feng came back, he actually asked for a bride price.

Lin looked at Ling Siye, he served the vegetables gracefully as usual, and the mood on his face did not change much.

"Mother-in-law, this is indeed our lack of etiquette, I'm really embarrassed, how much do you think is appropriate?" Old Madam Ling smiled and apologized.

Lin Xi looked at Zhang Feng intently, extremely nervous, Ling Siye's family conditions were average, she was afraid that her mother would ask for more, and Ling Siye couldn't afford it.

"I'm not in it for money, I mainly want Xiaoxi to get your family's attention." Zhang Feng took a piece of chicken and said with a smile.

"Mom, even if I want them to value me, there are many ways." Lin Xi said softly.

"You know what." Zhang Feng reprimanded Lin Xi.

Ling Siye still listened expressionlessly, eating elegantly.

"Ah Ye, am I right? Or did you not even think about giving a bride price? Zhang Feng turned his head and asked Ling Siye.

"Mom, it should be given, how much do you think is appropriate?" Ling Si spoke softly at night.

"That's it, seeing that your family is not very rich, let's get together 500,000."

"Mom, where do we have so much money?" Lin Xi was a little angry.

"Xiaoxi, Ah Ye will figure it out." Zhang Feng kept smiling.

Ling Siye just wanted to agree, but Lin Xi pulled him.

"Mom, 300,000, there's really no more."

"Why do you elbow out, girl."

"Okay?"

"Okay, just 300,000."

After a meal, Lin Xi felt bored.

Mom said that when she came back to attend her wedding, why didn't the stool sit hot when she entered the door, and she didn't ask her how she was doing all these years? As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for a bride price, which made her feel very unhappy.

"Xiaoxi, I'll go first, you come out for a while." Zhang Feng just put down the bowl and left in a hurry.

"Oh." Lin Xi was obviously unhappy.

She followed Zhang Feng to the outside of the courtyard, while Ling Siye walked immorally to the kitchen to eavesdrop.

"Xiaoxi, I advise you to leave quickly, although Ah Ye is handsome, can he be handsome as a meal? Look at this home, it is dilapidated, there is an old man to take care of at home, you are so beautiful, a lot of men like it, don't wronged yourself. ”

A big president listened to the corner of the wall, and he couldn't get on the table somewhat, but Ling Si couldn't care about it at night, he pricked up his ears, he wanted to know how Lin Xi would answer.

"Mom, I don't know what kind of life you've lived abroad all these years, which will make you think that I have been wronged."

"But I don't feel wronged, the definition of happiness should not be measured by money alone."

"Happiness doesn't have to be something, maybe everyone's needs are different."

"I just want to live a good life with Ah Ye, three meals and four seasons."

"Ah Ye's family conditions are average now, it doesn't mean that he can't get ahead in the future, he is so good and works so hard, I believe he can bring me a better life one day. How many people are noble-born, don't work hard themselves, or have bad hearts, and fall into the clouds like this. ”

"I don't think you hit the south wall and don't look back, and you don't bother to pay attention to you."

"Mom, let Ah Ye send you back." Lin Xi shouted loudly.

"No, I'll take a taxi."

Ling Siye heard the sound of high heels going away.

Lin looked forward to Zhang Feng's back as she left, and it wasn't until she saw her get into a taxi that she closed the iron gate and returned to the yard.

Ling Siye came out of the kitchen.

"Ah Ye, I didn't expect it to be like this, I have 150,000 there, do you get together, is it enough for 300,000?" Lin Xi asked Ling Siye softly.

"I marry a wife, how can I ask my wife to help me give the bride price?"

"Ah Ye, you have 300,000." Ling Siye saw a light in Lin Xi's eyes.

"I'll figure it out, it's almost the same, don't worry."

"That's great." Lin Xi had a happy smile on his face.

Ling Siye looked at Lin Xi, and the bottom of his deep eyes hid imperceptible feelings, revealing the joy of being like a treasure.
