Chapter 177 The bride price of Ling Yi's family
"Why do you have a balance of over [-]?"

After the teller reported the amount of the account, Lu Man was slightly puzzled.

"Wait a minute, please, I'll make a call."

Dial Wang Xueai's mobile phone number, and after the other party said "Hello", Lu Man asked, "Sister Xiaoai, have you transferred the recently received money to the account again?"

"That's right." Wang Xueai admitted, "There are a few colleges whose final exams are over first. After the exams, they flock to us to take ID photos. Some are in a hurry, but we are too busy. The three SLRs almost It is running at full power. Because some liberal arts colleges will take the Putonghua test immediately after the fall semester in the second half of the year, and photos must be attached to the certificate."

"Sister Xiaoai, didn't you agree that the money for the past few days will be cut off, and you should prepare for a rainy day..."

"Lu Man, why are you being polite with us?" Wang Xueai smiled, "We don't need so much money for the time being. When you left, Zhou Guangjin and I actually asked Jiaer quietly, and Jiaer kept it a secret for you and didn't say anything. The specific situation, but we also guessed that you will use it. Just decide, don't be verbose, hang up."

"Then thank you, Miss Ai—"

beep-

The phone hung up really fast.

"Since there are [-], then round up and take out all [-]."

Ling Zhi was dumbfounded as she watched from the sidelines. The Nissan Sylphy that her parents paid for after the college entrance examination cost only a hundred thousand yuan.This new car has already made her a representative of the rich family in the eyes of her neighbors and classmates, and she has been in the limelight for a while.

And with Lu Man at his fingertips, the full price of a hot model was taken out.What's more, he earned it about two weeks after the college entrance examination!
Listening to his tone, it seems that it is not an extra 2 yuan, but a few catties of cabbage in the vegetable market, and add some pressure to make up the whole...

Steadily and slowly, the teller counted the banknotes by hand, checked them twice by the banknote detector, and finally spread them out on the counter and counted them again before binding the banknote paper. Ten stacks of hundreds of hundred-yuan bills were neatly stacked.

Lu Man calmly removed the snakeskin plastic woven bag, and the color scheme of red squares and green stripes attracted the attention of the idle staff of the wealth management area.

"Cut." The employee aunt who had just received Lu Man and the others saw the ten stacks of cash put into a grocery bag, her eyes were shining brightly, but her mouth was somewhat disdainful.

Feeling being discussed and pointed out behind him, Lu Man turned his head and smiled: "The house has just been demolished, so the temperament has not kept up."

"Pfft hahaha-"

"goose--"

Gu Lingyi and Ling Zhi were amused by Lu Man and laughed.

Ling Zhi felt very interesting, and at the moment she was also full of curiosity: "Lu Man, is your bag strong enough? Can the rope hold it up? How heavy should a hundred thousand cash be?"

"It's not heavy, Lingzhi, don't think too much about money."

After Lu Man finished filling the money, he zipped up the woven bag.

Wang Shengping, the young worker who had just accompanied him, also came over with curiosity.

He didn't show an overly emotional expression, he just guessed jokingly: "Mr. Lu, this is a bride price, are you going to get married?"

"Emmm..." Gu Lingyi supported her forehead from the side.

What's going on today, Lu Man and she just can't get over the topic of marriage and love, right?

Ling Zhi laughed wantonly: "Why don't you guess it's buying a house? What kind of golden branches and jade leaves can be worth 10 yuan as a bride price."

"We ordinary people, of course, don't need to give so many gifts, and we can't live through that day."

Wang Shengping smiled: "Our most common betrothal gift, 'Choose one out of ten thousand', is 10001 yuan. If there is a little more, the three families will send it together, and it will be [-] yuan. It is already the highest betrothal gift for ordinary people."

He turned his head to look at Gu Lingyi: "This lady, she should be Mr. Lu's fiancee, right? I think you are a lady of every family in terms of temperament, and you can't be generalized with the usual situation when you are a daughter of the family..."

"Hey!" Ling Zhi interrupted hastily, "Don't guess randomly, guess wrong, this is not the right one."

Gu Lingyi embarrassedly leaned against Lu Man, turning her head away.

Ling Zhi thought: Outrageous, this little brother, why didn't you see him?
Lu Manxin said: "Reliable, this little brother, you really have eyesight!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Wang Shengping's face remained the same, he wore thousands of clothes, and he didn't wear them when he was admiring others. These two people are really a little ambiguous, and his popularity in front of customers must not be lowered.

At this moment, Lu Man picked up the bag and carried it.

Ling Zhi stretched her neck to have a look, seeing that Lu Man was not struggling, it seemed that it was not very heavy.

"Is it very light? How much does it weigh?"

"It feels like it's about a few catties smaller." Lu Man said truthfully.

"It should be less than three catties." Gu Lingyi opened her lips in a low voice, Lu Man and Ling Zhi both looked at her when they heard the words.

"Our family's second uncle got married for the second time... The bride price that woman asked for was 'three catties and three taels', and the hundred-yuan note for three catties and three taels was almost 14."

"What the hell……"

Ling Zhi was taken aback: "There are really golden branches and jade leaves, and you can get such a lot of gifts."

As the three of them walked out the door, Wang Shengping sent them out, while chatting about the bride price in full swing.

"I heard that there are more exaggerated ones."

Wang Shengping shared his experience: "The son of the owner of a petrochemical branch under the boss of Gu Lao, the richest man in our county, got married, and the whole thing was colorful and green."

Lu Man and Ling Zhi looked at Gu Lingyi again.

Boss Gu's eldest daughter is here.

Gu Lingyi lowered her head and walked with her head buried.

"Brother, it's all purple and red... what does it mean when it's all green?" Gu Lingyi asked in a soft voice.

"Why, I want to learn now, how do you accept the bride price?"

"Oh, you know I don't mean it! Brother is so annoying."

Lu Man smiled and explained: "100 sheets of purple for 15 yuan, and [-] sheets of red for [-] yuan, that's [-] yuan. And the most important thing is the piece of green."

"There is a lot more emphasis on 'one piece'. The green one is 50 yuan. If the mother-in-law likes the son-in-law, then only one piece is needed. If the piece is not pleasing to the eye, you can add more pieces for one piece."

"Ah..." Gu Lingyi was very surprised, "We are married well, why did we make it like this, it's so exaggerated."

"Well, I think so too." Ling Zhi nodded, "The dowry is supposed to be a joint contribution from the parents-in-law and parents-in-law's family to provide initial help for the bride and groom's small family. Give flowers to the bride, and even give flowers to the bride’s younger brother, it’s like selling a daughter.”

Lu Man smiled and said nothing, thinking that there were more magical things to come.

In this day and age, it is only people from wealthy families who make the bride price full of tricks.

In the next few years, this trend intensified, and even ordinary families suffered from it. The sayings such as colorful and three catties flew into the homes of ordinary people, and brought a heavy burden to families who were not well-off.

"My family definitely won't!"

Gu Lingyi's voice was slightly louder, and she looked at Lu Man.

"My parents are very talkative, and they are also very open-minded. The dowry will definitely not be outrageous!"

Lu Man pouted: "Aunt Wen is indeed very open-minded."

But another old comrade, Lu Man couldn't figure out how Gu Lingyi's "easy to talk" came from.

Ling Zhi smiled: "That's true, with your father's status, no amount of bride price can impress him."

Ling Zhi elbowed Lu Man: "Brother, work hard, if you want to marry Jiaer, although their family will not withhold the gift, but it is estimated that in order to show face and be a good family, they will ask for more."

Gu Lingyi gently opened her lips: "Our family's bride price...you can get it with just one thought, and my brother will definitely be fine."

It was just the first time today that she chatted with her friends of the same age, a topic that she had never been involved in before.Gu Lingyi would like to clarify that their family is rational and open-minded in their approach to marriage, and will not make any embarrassing and show-offs just because of the status of their father Gu Yan.

It's just that in the ears of Lu Man and Ling Zhi, Gu Lingyi's words carried other meanings.

Ling Zhi snorted: "Ling Yi, you think highly of your brother-in-law, and, besides, you are so impatient to send your hapless sister out?"

"Nah."

Gu Lingyi gently covered her face: "I don't want to part with my younger sister. Such an older sister, who wants to marry someone else in a blink of an eye? No, I can't accept it."

"Lingzhi, tell me, is it possible?" Lu Man seized the opportunity and said, "Is Lingyi the one who hates marrying her?"

"Oh~" Ling Zhi said in a long voice, "It's very possible. After all, she sees her sister Jia Er crying and laughing all day long for love. She also wants to taste the pain of love. It's not impossible."
