Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

After having dinner and wine, the two families began to discuss the wedding date. According to the rules, the wedding was much grander than the engagement banquet, and all the relatives and friends of the groom's family were invited. The Chu Shoucheng family had a grand wedding last time, but the marriage did not end. It lasted for several years and came to an end, which made Chu Shoucheng's mother feel that she had lost a lot of money. This time Chu Shoucheng was getting married for the second time, and the family didn't want to make such a fuss anymore.

"The main banquet for the wedding is the relatives of the Nanfang family. You can make your own decisions." Zhong Meihui's parents don't care how the wedding goes. Anyway, after today, his family will have the money, not to mention that the wedding is still some time away. , if Zhong Meihui’s pregnancy comes out, maybe there won’t even be a wedding.

"Then we will set the date for February 2 next year. That day happens to be the 9th of the twelfth lunar month. It is a good day. Don't wait until next year, for fear that the zodiac signs will conflict."

Chu Shoucheng's mother didn't know what Zhong Meihui's parents had planned. She thought they were very considerate and didn't have any requirements for the wedding because Chu Shoucheng told her that today's gift was all Zhong Meihui's own money and she didn't need him. Being born in a family, marrying a wife so easily is like burning incense on the ancestral grave.

"Then let's make an agreement. The young couple will go to get the certificate tomorrow and take their time with the wedding. Anyway, there are still 52 days, so it will definitely be in time."

The two families quickly decided on a date, and then came the part where everyone was paying attention to the bride price. Except for Zhong Meihui and Chu Shoucheng's parents, no one present knew how much the bride price was.

So when Chu Shoucheng took out the 10 yuan in cash, everyone was shocked. This amount of money was definitely considered a sky-high betrothal gift in their hometown.

"In addition to the money, I also prepared a set of jewelry for Meihui." Chu Shoucheng took out a large gift box, which contained gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold rings and gold earrings, and the grams of each piece were different. few.

Zhong Meihui was stunned for a moment when she saw these jewelry. She could tell that the value of these jewelry was at least 6000 to [-] yuan. These things were not included in the money she gave Chu Shoucheng yesterday.

"I am lucky that you can marry me. Of course, I can't miss anything." Chu Shoucheng said very sincerely. His words made many people around him envious. After all, when they got married, the bride price was only ten thousand or twenty thousand, and the most was only Just three golds.

"Isn't this man a teacher? When did teachers become so rich?"

"A second-marriage person who wants to marry his first-marriage must spend more money, otherwise no one will be willing to do so. Moreover, with a child, it is not easy to be a stepmother as soon as he enters the house."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and Zhong Meihui's parents also felt that it was particularly honorable. They felt that Chu Shoucheng's family probably had other income, otherwise it would not be possible to be so generous.

They felt that they had found a treasure this time. If Chu Shoucheng wanted to divorce Zhong Meihui one day, they would have to take the opportunity to make a deal, and they couldn't let him be so cheap.

"Shou Cheng, you are a well-behaved child. We originally thought that you were very sincere in bringing out so many colorful gifts. Forget about the gold jewelry. Unexpectedly, you actually prepared them all, unlike those who don't understand etiquette. The child thought that with a bride price of [-] to [-] yuan, he bought out someone else’s daughter and refused to give anything else.”

The speaker was Zhong Meihui's aunt, Yingzi's mother. Her eldest daughter had just gotten married a few years ago and asked for a bride price of 5000 yuan, not three gold.In the opinion of Zhong Meihui's aunt, instead of three gold coins, she needs an extra [-] yuan in cash, which means the price is about the same.

But just because of the extra five thousand, her son-in-law complained a lot in the past few years, feeling that he had suffered a big loss.

Now she specially used words to tease him, asking him to think about what other men did. In comparison, her daughter had only paid [-] yuan to get married, and they were the ones who really suffered.

"My little cousin works in the city and can make money. No matter how much I give her now, I can earn it back in the future. If she is just a local woman working in farming and doesn't make a penny, twenty-five thousand is considered too much."

The aunt's son-in-law spoke unforgivingly and shouted back in public regardless of the gazes of other relatives and friends. Zhong Meihui's aunt almost got into a fight with him.

"Go out and fight. This is me and Meihui's engagement party. Don't dirty the place." Chu Shoucheng yelled when he saw the situation getting out of control. Zhong Meihui's brother also came out to maintain the scene. After all, this involved 10 yuan. The engagement party with the bride price cannot be messed up by anyone.

"Okay, okay, let's take pictures together." Zhong Meihui's parents came out to smooth things over, especially Zhong Meihui's mother. She pulled her sister aside to prevent her from continuing to cause trouble.

Chu Shoucheng and Zhong Meihui became the absolute protagonists today. They stood in the middle and took pictures with everyone. Their relatives stood in a large circle around them, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very subtle.

Being able to receive such a high betrothal gift for one's own children gives a good start to the unmarried sisters, but those who are already married will inevitably feel unbalanced. After all, they are already married and have children, and it is basically impossible to make up for the betrothal gift.

Zhong Meihui’s cousins ​​even took photos of the gift boxes and jewelry boxes with their cameras. Everyone was posting on Weibo, local forums, and local forums.

In the evening, Zhong Meihui discovered that her engagement gift had become a hot topic on Weibo.It turned out that these relatives not only took photos, but also wrote a very scary title, "Shanghai County unexpectedly found a large amount of betrothal gift. Should I marry my daughter or sell my daughter?"

Such a title will undoubtedly trigger a huge discussion. The two views conflict very much. The locals in Hu County think that the bride price is too high. If this continues, it will spoil the culture and make other local girls also want high bride gifts.

However, many outsiders think that such a betrothal gift is normal, even considered low. They think that local people can only marry local girls, but if you marry a girl from out of town, you will definitely not be able to get by with this small amount of betrothal gift.

"These women think they are rimmed with gold for a 10 yuan gift. Even [-] yuan is too much. What else do they think? If they marry alone, they will lose their parents' lives! Unless the woman cuts off all ties with her parents' family in the future. With all the connections, it’s more like working as a cow or horse in my husband’s family for the rest of my life.”

"Do people in Shanghai County live in a modern society? For 10 yuan, you want to buy a daughter who has been raised for more than [-] years and work as a cow and horse in her husband's family all her life? You can dream at home. I think the girls there just don't have it. You have seen the world before you are deceived. A hundred thousand betrothal gifts are very common, and in many places you can find them for hundreds of thousands."

Zhong Meihui saw that the forum was already noisy, but she had no intention of joining the battle. Instead, she was thinking about how to convert such high traffic into her own income. Only the traffic that can be converted into cash is actual, and the rest is just emptiness. Just appearances.
