Chapter 285 Discussing the bride price
That night, the old lady waited for Li Mobao who came back from get off work with a cold face, "Hurry up and eat, come to the house after dinner, I will tell you something."

As soon as Li Mubao heard it, he knew it must be his marriage with Yaping, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "I'm not too hungry, mother, why don't we go back to the room and talk about it first."

The old lady had expected her son's attitude, and snorted. Anyway, only he knows if he is hungry, and if he wants to be hungry, he will be hungry.

So after entering the house, the old lady learned from him about the fact that the matchmaker came to say the bride price today.

Li Mubao was taken aback when he heard that, he was not pretending, he was really shocked, "Two hundred? Isn't it eighty?"

The dowry that Xiaoping told herself last time was [-], why did it take two months, and the dowry doubled when an outsider came over.

"What are you talking about? Eighty?" The old lady didn't know why.

"Oh, no, it's nothing." Li Mubao came back to his senses. He is not really stupid. He knows that he is determined not to tell his wife about this. If the price is raised, my mother will definitely not agree to Xiaoping's entry.

"Then what do you think?" The old lady gave him a suspicious look, but she didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the bride price and discussed it with her son.

"Yes, it's a bit much." It's not that Li Mubao doesn't know the market price at all. It's fine to give a wedding gift of thirty to fifty in the countryside. The bride price in the county is more expensive than that in the countryside, but it's usually 58 ten, one A hundred is considered a high price, and now the Zhou family is asking for two hundred, which is really a big mouth for a lion.

"Well, there are indeed quite a lot. There is no one around here who asks for such a lot of gifts for marrying a daughter-in-law, but your partner is in the county, and I know that gold is expensive, so if she wants so many gifts, there is no other request. Mom just gritted her teeth and accepted it. But their family needs bicycles in addition to the bride price, so what do you think?" The old lady threw the problem to her son without saying anything else.

Li Mubao doesn't know what to do, his pockets are cleaner than his face, whether it's work or when he was a soldier, he always gave the money to his wife for safekeeping.

"Mom, what do you think?" If you don't have money, you don't have the right to speak. Li Mubao didn't stay on this issue for 30 seconds, and he immediately threw it back to the old lady.

The old lady drooped her eyelids, and now she was extremely dissatisfied with her son, "I think you should know how much money our family has. Your father and I have worked so hard all our lives to save that little money. Your father will spend it when he gets sick." It’s almost the same, I have brought your sister by myself in the past few years, and I haven’t saved much, so what I have now is the allowance you mailed home from the army in the past two years, and your salary for working this year, Add up almost 400 yuan.

However, our family has spent a lot of money in the past few years. In the past few years, the harvest in the team was not good, and there was not enough food to eat. Basically, the allowance you sent back was used to buy food.Later, you used some of it for work when you went home. Now I will tell you the truth, and I only have a total of 250 yuan in my hand.Here, apart from the dowry money for the Zhou family, at least 50 yuan must be set aside for the wedding. You can't invite all your relatives and friends when you get married, right?

So if you do the math, if you empty out our family's wealth, the total amount of gifts that can be given to the Zhou family is only 200 yuan.According to what the Zhou family mentioned, we have no money to buy a bicycle if we give the bride price, and we have no money to give the bride price if we buy a bicycle. "The old lady put everything on the bright side and let her son choose.

Li Mubao heard that his mother had saved 250 yuan, and he felt that it was a lot, but thinking about the bride price that the Zhou family wanted, he was really worried.

"The situation is like this. I definitely can't agree to both the betrothal gift and the bicycle requested by the old Zhou's family, because I don't have that much money, so I can only give the same of the two. According to me, I don't want to give the betrothal gift to the Zhou family. I bought a bicycle directly for my family, so that the two of you can use it for commuting to and from work in the future, and it is not a waste, what do you think?"

Li Mubao listened carefully, and at the end when the old lady asked his opinion, he kept nodding, "I think it's okay, I think it's okay."

"It's fine if you agree, then you will have time to discuss with your partner. Our family has really tried their best."

The mother and son of the Li family were discussing the dowry here, and the Zhou family in the county was also talking about the same thing at this time, but it was much more intense than the Li family.

"What's the meaning of Li Mubao's family? Don't you want to get married? They dare to cut off half of the dowry money our family asks for. This is because our old Zhou's family doesn't know how to count, right?" Father Zhou said at night After drinking some wine, I remembered my daughter's marriage, and started playing around at the dinner table.

"No, I don't think Li Mubao's family has any good intentions. Marrying a daughter-in-law is like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and you can bargain. Huh, I said that when Mrs. Wang is here today, we should just let her go again. Just ask, do you still want Li Mubao? If you disagree, you will be killed. I will let my daughter go to the police station and sue her son." Zhou's mother is also a hot and generous person. Add fuel to the fire.

This evening, matchmaker Wang came to the house, and learned from here embellishing what she said to the old lady at Li Mubao's house.Her purpose is to emphasize the man's lack of cooperation and highlight the difficulty of this marriage. If it can be done in the future, she, the matchmaker, can get more hard work. If it doesn't work out, it's justifiable. .

Who knew that she was very happy, but she was full of anger at what the Zhou family said.

"Mom, my dad drank too much, why are you still making noises." Zhou Yaping was a little unhappy.

"You dead child, why am I making a fuss? I'm not doing it for you, you are heartless, you have not married yet, and your heart has gone to Li's house, right?" Zhou's mother stared and began to scold her daughter. .

"What do you do for me? Just ask me to sue Li Mubao. You don't even think about it. If I go to the Public Security Bureau, Li Mubao won't be able to please, then I will be able to please. Are you For me or for me?" Zhou Yaping was also angry, and she was under a lot of pressure these days.

In the past two months, she had finally found a decent partner, but when it came to marriage, she was approved for a business trip. If she hadn't had means, she might have become an old girl no one wanted again.

As a result, the target is back now, and her parents are threatening to sue her. Isn't this exposing her scars in a disguised form?

You must know that it is a big deal to get pregnant before marriage at this time. If the man is caught, it is a crime of hooliganism, and the woman is a broken shoe. No one is better than the other.When something like this happens to another girl, the family members want to hide it for fear of being found out. Her family is in good shape, and her parents talk about it every day, for fear that others will not know.

"Don't I just talk about it, threaten that kid? Why do I ask for so many gifts from others? Why don't you take advantage of his family's handle now and get more money in your own hands? In the future, you will really It’s too late to think about anything.” Zhou’s mother stretched out her index finger and pushed her daughter’s forehead hard, with a look of hatred for iron.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about my business."
