I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 424: Shocked, there is a dowry when marrying a daughter?

When Yi Hui's family was holding a grand wedding with Camilla.

Here in a village in Bharat, thousands of kilometers away.

The name of this village is Asara. It has a population of over ten thousand people, but all of them belong to the low caste Shudra.

At this moment, the village chief Kumar was waiting quietly with all the men, women, young and old in the village, looking towards the eastern sky from time to time.

Because today is the day when his daughter Alia's boyfriend comes to propose marriage.

In this country where boys are extremely valued over girls, Kumar loves his daughter very much and does everything he can to send her to school. Alia is also very hardworking and is admitted to university and works in an import and export company.

But what really worries Kumar is his daughter's marriage.

According to local customs, a daughter must be given a generous dowry when she gets married. If the dowry is too little, the daughter's life in her husband's family will be very difficult, and she may even be beaten by her husband and in-laws. The most extreme case is that many people kill their wives because their dowry is too little.

Kumar's daughter is a college student and a child who has received higher education, which means that if she wants to marry someone who has also received higher education, their family will have to pay a larger dowry.

Otherwise, basically no one would be willing to marry Alia. There is no other way. In this country, caste determines everything. It is okay for low-caste women to be uneducated, but if they are educated, it will be more difficult for them to get married because the man’s family will often ask for an extremely heavy dowry.

Kumar's entire family was worried about their daughter's marriage, and even his brothers had to work hard to save up a dowry for her.

But even so, they still couldn't save enough for the dowry. Kumar had asked some families before, and after learning about Alia's situation, they basically all asked for huge dowries.

The huge dowry weighed on their entire family like a mountain, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

Alia is also very clear about this. She is a strong and smart girl. She knows the situation in her family and knows that her parents and brother are worried about her dowry.

She knew very well that if she married in her own country, her family would become even poorer and penniless, and even the little land left in the family might have to be taken away as a dowry.

She didn't want her parents and brother to be implicated because of her affairs. In addition, she worked in an import and export trading company, so she naturally looked to the outside world.

She met Lai Mingming from the East. They initially had work dealings. Later, Lai Mingming came to Bharat several times. After getting to know Alia, he fell in love with her and bravely confessed his love to her.

Alia also found herself falling in love with Lai Mingming. Lai Mingming had fair skin, which was in line with the aesthetic of the Bharat people. The whiter the people, the higher the caste.

Of course, the most important thing is that she feels Lai Mingming respects women very much. This respect is equality and respect from the heart, which is something that local men in Barat have very often, at least she rarely encounters it.

The two quickly fell in love and soon told their parents about it.

When the Kumar family learned that their daughter was in love with a young man from the East, they were shocked at first, and then they had a headache.

According to local customs, foreigners who come here are generally considered to be of the Kshatriya caste, and at worst, they can be considered to be the third-level Vaishya, while their own family belongs to the Shudra caste.

This means that their daughter will join a higher caste, and it also means that their family must prepare more and higher dowries, otherwise their daughter will have no status when she gets married.

The whole family was worried about this matter. The day for the proposal had arrived, but their family had only prepared a dowry of less than 40 yuan, which was less than 2 yuan when converted into Rabbit Coins.

But this is all the family has been able to scrape together, and there is really no way we can get more.

There is a big difference between here and the East. The industry here is developed in the East, and there are still many job opportunities in the city. Everyone can go out to work and earn money.

It is different in Barat. Most of the population is still locked in rural areas, mainly engaged in agricultural planting. Those who have their own fields are better off, but some do not even have their own fields, and their income is very low.

Anyone who has farmed knows this: it is simply not possible to make money from farming, especially when the amount of land is limited.

The Kumar family waited anxiously. People in Asara village heard that the village chief's daughter had a boyfriend from the East and that he was coming to propose marriage today, so they were curious and waited here to watch the fun.

In order to show their welcome and respect for their future son-in-law's family, the Kumar family dressed neatly. Kumar and his three sons wore clean clothes, and Alia's mother even wore a sari which is only worn on traditional festivals.

He even cleaned the house again and built a bathroom for the purpose.

"Dad, how much dowry do you think they will ask for from us?"

"The current exchange rate between our currency and Rabbit Coin is 1:22. Alia said that our monthly income is more than 1 Rabbit Coins, which means it is more than 20 per month."

"According to our local customs, the dowry should be at least 200 million to 500 million yuan."

Kumar's eldest son, Alia's eldest brother Siva said worriedly.

According to local customs, it is a matter of pride for the whole family if a daughter can marry into a family of a higher caste. However, the high dowry is enough that the whole family may not be able to raise it even after decades of hard work.

"I don't know!" Kumar shook his head.

At this time, someone saw two anti-gravity aircraft flying rapidly towards the Asara village in the eastern sky.

The speed was very fast and in the blink of an eye they arrived above the Asara village.

Everyone stared at the two anti-gravity aircraft slowly landing with their eyes wide open.

They knew that anti-gravity aircraft were extremely expensive. Even the cheapest anti-gravity aircraft now cost tens of millions.

Looking at the streamlined, sci-fi shape of the anti-gravity aircraft, people in the entire village couldn't help but step back quickly and stay far away, for fear that their shadows would fall on the anti-gravity aircraft.

Don't think this is a joke, and don't think this is an exaggeration.

This is the case here in Bharat. The more remote the rural area, the more strictly the caste system is enforced. The situation may be better in big cities, but that is in big cities.

Two powerful anti-gravity aircraft slowly landed in the center of the village. As the hatch slowly opened, a gust of cold air blew towards them, causing everyone to be shocked.

The aircraft is air-conditioned.

Lai Mingming, dressed in a suit, walked out holding flowers.

Next came his father and mother, who were also dressed very formally, the couple in suits and the mother in a cheongsam.

The hatch of another anti-gravity aircraft also slowly opened, and Lai Mingming's brother, cousin, and cousin also walked out wearing suits and leather shoes.

Seeing this scene, the villagers of Asara village couldn't help but stare at it, and at the same time they cast envious eyes on the Kumar family.

It seems that the other family is not ordinary.

These two anti-gravity aircraft alone are enough to explain everything. You should know that the families who can own anti-gravity aircraft in Barat are all truly powerful and wealthy families, and even powerful and wealthy families may not necessarily own anti-gravity aircraft, because the production capacity is limited, and even those with money still have to wait in line.

After hearing the news, Alia excitedly came out of the house to greet Lai Mingming and his family.

At the same time, he solemnly introduced his family to Lai Mingming's family.

Lai Mingming also saluted Kumar according to the custom of Bharat, and Kumar immediately helped Lai Mingming up.

The whole family came to Kumar's house in a grand manner, and the people from the whole village had already surrounded Kumar's house early in the morning. Everyone was ready to watch the fun and see how much dowry the young man from the East would ask for from the Kumar family.

Lai Mingming's family carried a lot of things, including cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc., and after seeing the situation of Kumar's family, they did not show disgust like the local upper castes.

The parents of both sides sat together, but they couldn't speak the same language, so Lai Mingming and Alia were used to translate.

As they chatted, they naturally talked about Lai Mingming and Alia's marriage.

Lai Mingming's father Lai Huasheng took out 6 red rabbit coins from his bag and said, "Father-in-law, we don't know what the customs are like here."

"I brought 6 yuan as a gift this time, what do you think?"

Even though Lai Mingming had explained the situation to him in advance, saying that things here were different from those in China, and that not only was there no need for a bride price, but there was also a dowry and so on.

But Lai Huasheng still felt that the betrothal gift should be given. The other party must be aware of his situation, and might ask for a huge sum of money at that time. He would just take the initiative to give some money first, so as to shut the other party up.

6 yuan is nothing compared to the 55 yuan dowry in my hometown. If I can get this done, I will be so happy.

Kumar and Siva's family were dumbfounded when they saw the 6 yuan on the table.

Is there a dowry for marrying a daughter?

Can I still receive money?

Moreover, this is 6 Rabbit Coins, which would be 132 million if converted into local currency!

This is a huge number.

Of course, it was not just the Kumar family that was shocked, but also the villagers who were watching the fun around them.

Can you actually make money by marrying your daughter?
