The female supporting role who was deprived of the koi luck in the chronicle

Chapter 427 Talking about bride price

Susie and Qiao Mu went to the stove house. The old lady was cooking as if nothing happened. She glanced at Qiao Mu and Susie with a gentle smile on her face, "I don't need you here. It's hot in the stove house. Go outside to blow some air."

Susie admired the old lady's inner strength a little bit, and came out with Qiao Mu and stood in the shade of the backyard to enjoy the breeze.

After a while, Xu Zhiqiang came out from the back door, and whispered to Su Qian, "You were wronged today."

He knew how tough Susie was. If her father-in-law and mother-in-law were not in the way today, Susie would have had a fit.

She tried not to get angry, it was all because of his uncle.

Su Qian smiled at Xu Zhiqiang, "Uncle, it's nothing."

Xu Zhiqiang looked at Su Qian and said seriously: "Qi Xi, no matter what time it is, my uncle is always by your side."

Su Qian really laughed out now, she looked at Xu Zhiqiang and nodded, "Uncle, thank you."

Xu Zhiqiang patted a leaf off her shoulder, "Let's go, let's eat."

The Zhu family who ate a meal were very satisfied.

There are fish, meat and chicken, which is a very high standard.

After dinner, the main room was cleaned up, and the old lady and Jiang Lian began to talk about marriage.

Qiao Mu didn't leave either, Susie was unhappy at home today, he had to stay with her.

Susie sat next to the old lady, and Qiao Mu sat next to Susie.

The old lady smiled and said, "Zhu Lin, this girl's mother-in-law taught her very well, and our family likes it very much."

"For the marriage of the two of them, just say what you want."

Jiang Lian also smiled, "I mean, the two of them are discussing their own marriage."

"Nowadays is a new society, and all new events are new. The young people in our unit who hold weddings have all received certificates. Please treat your best friends to a meal."

She paused, "However, if the two of you want to live together, something must be added to the house."

"I have already prepared a few pieces of colorful and nine-colored satin quilts from Hangzhou for Linlin, and I will buy some things for them to live in when the time comes."

The old lady calculated in her heart that this silk quilt was not cheap, it cost dozens of yuan or even hundreds of yuan. From this point of view, it seemed that the dowry cost at least two or three hundred yuan.

The old lady tentatively said: "That's fine, then we will follow the local customs here, and we usually give one hundred and two dowry gifts to rich people in the countryside." She said while looking at Jiang Lian's expression.

Seeing that Jiang Lian's face seemed to be slightly condensed, the old lady continued: "However, this city is different from our country. I thought that I would have to give a bride price of 300 yuan."

After finishing speaking, the old lady looked at Jiang Lian again, the corners of her lips seemed to be upturned.

The old lady continued: "In addition to the bride price, buy Linlin a watch, a bicycle, and an electric fan. These are all necessary things. After buying them, it will save them from spending money on their own."

Jiang Lian understood, this is probably all the old lady planned to give.

These things plus 300 yuan, this is hundreds of dollars, which is placed in Huijiang City, and few families can afford it.

However, Jiang Lian was still a little disappointed. She originally thought that the family used color TVs, so she had to buy a black and white TV for the young couple.

But the old lady didn't mention it, Jiang Lian couldn't say that.

Lin Fang, Zhu Lin's sister-in-law, was shrewd and said immediately, "Ma'am, why don't you buy a TV for the young couple?"

"I can't buy a color TV, so I have to buy a black and white one, right?"

The old lady didn't expect the Zhu family to make such a request. Thinking about it, the color TV at home hit their eyes.

It will cost a lot to buy another TV, and the TV will cost more than 500!It adds up to more than 1000.

These days, no one spends so much money on marrying a wife.

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Zhu Lin hurriedly said, "Ma'am, I don't think we need to buy a TV. We are usually busy at work, so we don't have time to watch TV."

These words made the old lady Xu Zhixia and Su Qian look at her with admiration.

This shows that Zhu Lin is sincere to Xu Zhiqiang, and she is not that kind of materialistic girl.

Lin Fang glanced at Zhu Lin, then glared at her quietly, this girl is really stupid, this is to fight for her more, she is better off, she will hold her back.

Seeing the atmosphere, Susie seemed a little embarrassed, and nudged the old lady lightly with her elbow. There is no shortage of this in the family, so buy it when you buy it.

The old lady didn't want to use Susie's money at first, but when she felt Susie's little tricks, she thought that Zhu Lin was indeed a good girl, and her son was married again, so she always bowed her head, forget it, just buy it.

She nodded, "Okay, then buy all these big things."

"I have enough money here, but there are not so many tickets. I just pay the money, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."

Xu Zhiqiang didn't know what to say.

He knew very well that when the elder brother got married, the family didn't get any money, so the elder brother took care of things in the capital by himself.

The second brother got married, and he was sensible at that time. He remembered that he had received a bride price of tens of dollars, and a few pieces of cloth.

He knew that this money was his parents' pension money, so much money must have emptied his mother's hands.

But it was not easy for him to speak out in front of his parents-in-law, so he couldn't help but look at Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin understood what he meant and gave him a reassuring smile.

After talking about things, the Zhu family got up and said goodbye. After all, they had to go to the county seat by car, and it would probably be dinner time when they got home.

The old lady took a bag, filled it with vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, and beans, and brought it to the Zhu family.

The Zhu family returned home satisfied.

In the evening, when Xu Zhiqiang came out from Zhu's house after dinner, Zhu Lin sent him downstairs. The two walked for a while, and Zhu Lin whispered, "I've thought about it. Let's get married. It's inappropriate for your family to take so much money."

"Your mother said to give us the money and let us buy it ourselves. I don't think I will buy a TV. It is too expensive and not worth it. I don't need to buy a watch. I haven't bought this watch for two years, and it is still brand new."

"It's okay to buy a bicycle, it will be convenient for us to go anywhere in the future, the electric fan—"

Xu Zhiqiang said: "You have to buy an electric fan, aren't you afraid of the heat?"

Zhu Lin smiled shyly, "Well, then buy it."

"Let's save the rest of the money and quietly return it to your mother later."

Xu Zhiqiang was so moved for a moment, he suddenly remembered that Yu Xue always asked him for money in the past, and thought he didn't give enough money.

He suddenly understood what the true heart was.

If you really like someone, you will think about him everywhere, instead of just thinking about how to squeeze him.

Xu Zhiqiang hugged Zhu Lin impulsively, "Linlin, you are so kind."

Zhu Lin didn't expect Xu Zhiqiang to hug her suddenly, and the two talked for more than half a year, and then quietly held hands in a place where no one was around.

A somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar masculine aura surrounded her, and Zhu Lin felt her heart beating fast and her mind dizzy.

Xu Zhiqiang hugged him in his arms, his soft body and the faint fragrance made him a little uncontrollable.

He couldn't help lowering his head, at this moment Zhu Lin suddenly pushed him away, blushing, and said angrily, "What are you doing on the street?"

Xu Zhiqiang smiled naively, "I didn't notice."

He grabbed Zhu Lin's hand, "Go to my dormitory and I'll take you back later."

Zhu Lin shyly lowered her head and followed Xu Zhiqiang away.
