Chapter 236 Sky-high price gift

“Brother Feng, where are we going now, or where do you go to play with me?”

Wang Guoyang, who knew something about what had happened, asked aloud.

“No, it’s disappointing enough today, I don’t want to go anywhere.”

Wang Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly thought of Xiaopang. He originally planned to recount the old ones with him, but it was all disturbed by Guo Lanlong.

So he gave an address and asked Wang Guoyang to accompany him.

In a dilapidated unit building in the eastern suburbs of Luocheng County, Room 102 on the first floor is the home of Wang Feng’s good brother, Xiao Pang Zhou Chao.

This unit building is the house of the state-run factory where Xiao Pang’s parents originally worked, and it has a history of 20 or 30 years.

Later, reform and opening up destroyed the iron rice bowl, and the state-owned factory also closed down due to poor efficiency. So the unit that has not been repaired for many years now looks a bit dilapidated.

Xiaopang’s parents were also declining due to the laid-off. Although they tried to do business several times later, they all failed, so they could only make a living on a meager income.

In the old living room, Xiaopang sat there with a lonely face, looking at the white snow outside the window, not knowing what to think about.

At this moment the bedroom door opened, Xiao Pang’s parents walked out of it, looked at Xiao Pang and asked, “Super Er, how are you talking with your classmates, have you borrowed money?”

Xiaopang raised his head and glanced at the old man, and then shook his head sadly, his face glowing with unspeakable bitterness.

“cough–”

Zhou Mu sighed in a daze, and when she turned her head there were two tears.

“Dad and Mom, otherwise I think this marriage should be forgotten, the bride price their family wants is too high, we can’t afford it at all!”

Xiaopang didn’t want his parents to worry about his marriage anymore, so he endured the pain and said something.

“How can this work!”

“Xiao Huo Duo is a good girl, she doesn’t think our family is poor, but she is especially filial to the two of us, how can she give up like this for some money.”

“Besides, you’re not too young, you should have become a family long ago.”

Father Zhou clenched his fists and looked abnormally excited.

“But their family’s gift is 200,000 yuan! Where are we going to collect so much money for them!” Xiaopang said helplessly.

Xiaohuo is a very good person, and the two of Xiaopang are also happy, but this sky-high price gift is like a gap in front of the two-insurmountable.

“Don’t worry about this. I’ll find a way to borrow the money. Even if it’s a mess, I have to end the marriage.”

Father Zhou was about to open the door while he was talking, but the moment he opened the door, people were shocked.

The same was true for Wang Feng, who was about to knock at the door. Why didn’t he knock, the door opened by himself.

“You are?” Looking at Wang Feng in front of the door, Father Zhou asked with some doubts.

“Happy New Year, Uncle Zhou, I am Wang Feng!”

“Xiaofeng?!”

Father Zhou took a close look at Wang Feng, and gradually recognized Wang Feng from his vague memory, and then greeted him enthusiastically: “Come and sit at home, look at how tall you are now, and you have become more handsome. Uncle almost didn’t recognize it.”

“Xiao Chao, Wang Feng is here to play with you.”

When the little fat man in the living room heard Wang Feng coming, he wiped his tears to hide his sadness, changed a happy smile and greeted him, “Feng’er, here you are, what did Guo Lanlong do to you? Bar?”

“It’s just an overwhelming mad dog, things are resolved, it’s okay, come to talk to you.”

Wang Feng put down the gift in his hand and said indifferently.

He glanced at it suddenly, and found that the atmosphere in the living room seemed a bit dull, as if the Xiaopang family had just discussed something embarrassing, but it was suddenly interrupted because of their arrival.

So he asked aloud: “Did something happen at home? Why are there still tears on Aunt Zhou’s face?”

“this.”

Xiaopang looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to speak, and Zhou Shu also turned his head in embarrassment, because they were embarrassed to speak because of this kind of thing.

When Aunt Zhou found out that Wang Feng was wearing extraordinary clothes, she might really be able to help.

Wiping the wet tears, while pouring water on Wang Feng, he whispered: “Feng’er, you have the best relationship with Xiao Chao when you were young, and Auntie doesn’t hide it from you.”

“We are worrying about Xiaochao’s marriage? It’s all because Xiaochao and I are not capable of getting the gift money, so you laugh at the way a family is like this.”

“Do you think it is not convenient for you to lend a little to Xiaochao?”

“mom–”

Hearing his mother borrowing money from Wang Feng, Xiaopang hurriedly tried to stop him.

But Zhou’s mother can’t control that much at this moment. As long as her son’s marriage can be done, her old face will be saved, after all, he and Zhou’s father have long been anxious to hug their grandson.

Wang Feng patted his embarrassed chubby, and motioned to Zhou’s mother to continue.

“You didn’t know that Xiaohuo, this girl is really good, and we have a good relationship with Xiaochao, but the bride price in his family is too high, we really can’t afford it.”

“However, Feng’er, don’t worry, we should be in an emergency for the time being, and we will return it to you as soon as we are relieved.”

Wang Feng nodded slightly, “How much does the other party’s dowry cost?”

“Two hundred thousand.”

“Our old couple borrowed things from each other, plus the savings over the years, the total is about 150,000, and there is a gap of about 50,000.”

“What we old couple mean is that if we give the betrothal gift first, it is considered a special marriage arrangement, and then save a little money plus the gift money collected, and we should be able to handle the marriage of the two of them.”

“We can’t help it, so we opened our mouth to you.” Aunt Zhou said implicitly.

Two hundred thousand yuan is indeed quite a lot for Luocheng County, a small county with an average economy.

Xiaohuo doesn’t know what his character is, but her family dare to open their mouths. How is this marrying a daughter? It is clear that they are doing business.

But the brothers have to help no matter what they are doing, not to mention that these two hundred thousand are nothing but a fraction to Wang Feng.

“Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, don’t worry about money. I have made a small amount of money over the years. Give me my bank card number. I will call you 300,000 immediately.”

This is how Wang Feng planned. Although the bride price only needs 200,000 yuan, it will definitely cost money to get married, and it is better to owe it to himself instead of owing others. Anyway, he doesn’t care about it.

Originally, according to his intention, the three hundred thousand were intended to be given directly to Xiaopang. The horrible and honest Xiaopang family may not be willing to accept it. At the same time, it seemed that he owed it to himself, so he said that he borrowed the word.

When they get married, they will give a big gift to them, and that’s all about it.

“Really? You really have three hundred thousand?”

“No, no, really don’t need that much. We only need to have five or sixty thousand.”

Aunt Zhou waved her hands excitedly.

Wang Feng hurriedly stopped her and said aloud: “Aunt Zhou, listen to me, I am really not short of money now. You owe me as much as you owe them.”

“So let’s repay the money borrowed from others. I don’t need to rush to pay it back. As for the extra money, I will give Zhou Chao a magnificent event. After all, marriage is the top priority. It will only happen once in a lifetime. , Can’t let people say that we are stingy.”
