Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Zhong Meihui came back from her aunt's house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yingzi sitting in front of the sofa in a daze. Zhong Meihui thought she was thinking about Taozi and quickly told her that her aunt had agreed to Taozi going to the capital.

"Sister, Datou said, I want to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to my parents and finalize our marriage." Yingzi looked sad when talking about this matter. She also wanted to settle the matter with Datou, but she was worried about her own The mother, the lion, opened her mouth wide and would ask for a betrothal gift from the big head based on the amount of Zhong Meihui's betrothal gift that year.

The two of them had saved some money in the past two years, but that money was reserved for them to buy a house and get married. They couldn't let their mother use it all to subsidize the family.

"We can talk about the bride price slowly. What's more, your household registration has been independent for a long time. If your parents insist on a high bride price, you can get married directly with the boss and get a certificate. She can't do anything to you. Don't worry. On the day of the marriage proposal, I’ll go with Datou.”

Zhong Meihui knows that her aunt is very greedy, especially after seeing Zhong Meihui asking for a high gift from the Chu family, she hopes that each of her daughters can maintain such standards. This time Yingzi and Datou go back to talk about marriage, I am afraid it will not work. not easy.

"Sister, I feel more at ease when you are here." After Yingzi heard that Zhong Meihui personally helped Datou propose marriage, her face immediately turned rosy. She knew that Zhong Meihui had determined her mother's destiny and there was always a way to get her to agree. My marriage to Datou.

Datou then invited a well-known local matchmaker to come to propose marriage with gifts. Zhong Meihui's aunt had known about this for a long time. She made a lot of preparations at home, but it was not to entertain Datou with delicious food and drinks, but to entertain Datou. Find a way to give him power.

She felt that Yingzi was her eldest daughter, and her younger sisters would have to match her elder sister's wedding gift when they got married in the future. This matter must not be careless. If it was less this time, she would not be able to receive the money when her other daughters got married in the future.

"Mom, Datou and my cousin have been standing at the door for half an hour. Just let them in. My cousin is still pregnant. If something happens, Taozi and I will have no work. By then, we will be at home. If you lose 3000 yuan in income a month, you can figure it out yourself."

Yingzi has been with Zhong Meihui for a while, and has learned many ways to fight against her mother. As long as it involves money-related things, her mother must be cautious and not dare to act recklessly.

"Okay, let them come in. I want to see how sincere they are in preparing you. You are younger than Zhong Meihui and more beautiful than her. The bride price must not be less than hers."

Zhong Meihui's aunt finally opened the door. She was still dissatisfied when she saw the matchmaker and Da Tou carrying large and small bags of things.

"Is this the bird's nest you bought? It seems to be fake Tremella fungus. And these wines. Is this good wine? I have never heard of it. You used these things to deceive us, thinking that we have never seen them on the market. Are you a small citizen?" Zhong Meihui's aunt casually opened a package of gifts and began to pick and choose. She felt that the things she bought were too cheap and she was deliberately looking down on their family.

"Auntie, I brought these gifts back from the capital. They are all from famous local stores. If you think these are fake, I will take them back and go to the county shopping mall to buy you some milk powder, liquor, etc. , I guess it’s more suitable for your status.”

Zhong Meihui knows that the aunt is deliberately suppressing Datou. If Datou admits his mistake and apologizes at this time, then he has fallen into the aunt's trap. She will definitely use this as an excuse to let Datou pay more betrothal gifts.

"Meihui, are you a relative over there? You are Yingzi's cousin and my niece. Naturally, you have to help us speak. How can you help an outsider?"

Zhong Meihui's aunt saw that her Zhong Meihui was speaking for Da Tou every sentence, and felt that she was turning her elbows outward, so she immediately scolded her a few times and moved all the things Da Tou brought back to the bedroom.

Even if she has never been to the capital, she knows that the goods sold there are all good, and the quality and price are definitely not comparable to their small county town.

"Now that you have accepted our gift, it is settled. Yingzi's mother, let's discuss the marriage. You see that the young couple are not young at all, so why don't we get things done while it's hot? We are engaged now and getting married by the end of the year.”

The matchmaker said a lot of auspicious words, but this time Yingzi's mother did not stop her daughter from getting married. She took out a piece of paper from the bedroom with a lot of things written densely on it.

"It's not impossible to marry my daughter, but we have to agree first. The bride price is 10 yuan, not a penny less. In addition, there are 2 yuan for three gold coins, 1 yuan for clothes, and money for my mother's family. 5 yuan as a thank you gift. In addition, our house has not been renovated for many years, and the furniture and appliances are also old. It is not good for relatives and friends to see it when they attend the wedding. They all need to be replaced with new ones. How about this, you give me 20 yuan, and I I will marry my daughter to you."

Zhong Meihui's aunt did some calculations and came up with an astonishing amount of 20 yuan. Such a figure even shocked Zhong Meihui. 20 yuan is enough to renovate a house in rural areas.

"Auntie, you want 20 yuan as a gift, so what should you give Yingzi as a dowry? It would be reasonable if you use the 20 yuan to buy a house for the young couple."

Zhong Meihui was curious about how much dowry money her aunt would give. Her parents had bought a lot of rags such as washbasins and towels before. This time her aunt asked for double the dowry, so the dowry couldn't be too shabby.

"There's no need for a dowry. It's good that I raised her to such a big age. There's no reason to give her anything as a dowry. What's more, Yingzi is your family's nanny now. That means she belongs to your family. It's your turn to pay for the dowry."

Zhong Meihui's aunt only wanted to receive the bride price and did not want to give a dime to her daughter. This scene completely chilled Yingzi. She directly took Datou's arm and wanted to go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get the certificate.

"It's none of my cousin's business, I've decided. I don't want any gift or dowry. Now I'm free to get married. No matter what, I want to be with him."

Yingzi argued for herself, but when the two sides were at a stalemate, Zhong Meihui finally came forward to persuade her aunt.

"Big Tou is a good kid. He is a shareholder of a lumber company. The company has not been listed yet, so those original shares are naturally worthless. But once it makes a profit, the annual dividend will be a large sum. After it is listed, it will earn even more. Auntie, if you give up this piece of fat, I will introduce him to other cousins."

Zhong Meihui talked for a long time, which confused her aunt. She believed that Datou would be a rich man in the future and would definitely help her son buy a house and a car. Finally, she agreed to give Yingzi a gift of 5 yuan to get married and get engaged at the end of the year. The wedding will be held on Labor Day next year.

Everyone present was happy, but Zhong Meihui was worried. The wedding had been delayed for too long, and there might be sudden changes.
