The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future
Chapter 411
After these few words, He Fengying and Wen Zongxian were almost so angry that they spit blood.
The amount of the betrothal gift represents the importance of the woman in the eyes of the south.
How can you lower the price for yourself?
Under impulse.
He Fengying shouted fiercely: "138,000 is not even enough for the down payment for your brother to buy a house, don't dream here!"
As soon as this was said.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
Wenminghao turned his head, obviously feeling embarrassed.
In the marriage custom in Northern Ontario, the man usually takes the betrothal gift to get engaged, and then the woman keeps a part and takes back a part.
Of course, some do not take it back, some do not keep a penny, and some just leave a few hundred yuan as a token of appreciation.
However, both parties are tacitly aware of this matter, after all, they have been mentally prepared.
But even if they really don't take it, they won't say it so directly, after all, it is very unpleasant.
He Fengying shouted out her little calculations in anger.
She never thought of taking back a penny of the betrothal gift for Lin Zhengfeng, and she would leave it to her son Wenminghao to buy a house!
"Movies are indeed based on reality."
Lin Ming sighed in his heart: "Even reality is far more cruel than movies."
As for the people Lin Ming has been in contact with so far.
Including Zhang Hao, Liu Wenbin, Lin Zechuan next to him, and even himself.
When I got married, I never encountered such a situation.
In fact, Lin Ming himself has a daughter.
He always thinks that the betrothal gift is right, even if the other party keeps it, he can't say anything.
After all, it takes a lot of hard work to raise a child. Not to mention how much money it costs, the mental and physical fatigue alone cannot be described in words.
When the daughter is an adult and can contribute to the family, she is also at the age of getting married.
Even the household registration has to be moved to the other party's home.
In a sense, it is equivalent to not having this daughter!
Why do many parents cry when girls get married?
It's because of this.
But then again.
My daughter has grown up, has her own choices, and is willing to pay any price for her own choices.
If both parties are truly in love, why can't they consider the other party's family conditions before asking for a dowry?
If He Fengying really worries that Wen Yuanyuan will suffer, it's fine, but she obviously doesn't have such concerns.
What she thinks about.
It's just whether Wen Yuanyuan's dowry money is enough to buy a house for her son.
As for whether Wen Yuanyuan and Lin Zhengfeng will live well or not in the future, it has nothing to do with her!
To put it bluntly.
It's just selling my daughter.
A one-time deal!
Of course.
Lin Ming is not He Fengying, nor is he Zheng Wanling.
He has no qualifications and no right to comment on others.
I just feel sorry for Lin Zhengfeng, this good brother.
The hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune often finds the unfortunate!
He lost his father's love since he was a child and grew up in the lowest family.
He finally got married, and had a girlfriend who loved and cared for him, but ended up with such a family.
At this moment, Lin Ming finally understood why Lin Zhengfeng hesitated to speak last night.
He probably had already guessed that He Fengying's family came today for the gift.
He didn't feel guilty towards Wen Yuanyuan because he couldn't forget Liang Peiwen, but...
Because he was powerless!
Because he couldn't afford to marry!
"Since everything has been said, I won't beat around the bush with you."
He Fengying's face was full of cunning and arrogance.
She looked at Zheng Wanling and said, "Minghao also has a girlfriend, and they are about to get married."
"He saw a house in the city some time ago, and the down payment is 400,000."
"Of course, I didn't expect your family to come up with so much money, otherwise why would I waste my breath with you?"
"But we have to have a good talk about the money for the bride price."
"Before, I did only tell Yuanyuan about the bride price of 268,000, but I see that this dead girl looks like she won't be filial to us in the future."
"Then I'll tell you a number today, 300,000 for the bride price. If you can agree, agree. If you can't agree, then don't get married!"
"What?!"
Before Lin Zhengfeng and Zheng Wanling had any reaction, Wen Yuanyuan was the first to be struck by lightning.
How much money can an ordinary family with a living husband and wife save at Zheng Wanling's age?
200,000 is the maximum!
As for Zheng Wanling, even 138,000 yuan would drain all her savings, not to mention the 268,000 yuan that He Fengying had asked for before.
Now it’s great.
He Fengying actually raised the price again, raising it to 300,000 yuan!
This is going to kill Zheng Wanling!!!
Lin Zhengfeng’sHis face had completely darkened.
The more honest a person is, the more irritable he is.
He tolerated it again and again, but it made He Fengying even worse.
If it weren't for Wen Yuanyuan, he would have started to overturn the table long ago!
"My dear relatives, the 300,000 yuan betrothal gift... our family really can't afford it!"
Zheng Wanling spoke in a low voice, even with a hint of pleading.
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."
He Fengying said directly: "We have raised Yuanyuan for 30 years, 10,000 yuan a year is not too much, right? If you can't even take out 300,000 yuan, then don't talk about the conditions later!"
Lin Zhengfeng was about to speak, but Zheng Wanling suddenly pulled him back.
Zheng Wanling knew her son's character better than anyone else.
If Lin Zhengfeng really turned against her, he would not only completely offend He Fengying and the others, but more importantly, no matter what he said, it would hurt Wen Yuanyuan's heart!
Mother's love is always warm.
Lin Zhengfeng swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Okay, I'll think of a way to collect the 300,000 betrothal gifts before the wedding." Zheng Wanling said.
"Really?" He Fengying looked happy.
"Really!" Zheng Wanling said solemnly.
"Look, this is the attitude of a serious talk."
He Fengying sneered and said, "In addition to the betrothal gifts, there are also three golds, which are bracelets, necklaces, and rings. You should know these, right?"
"Yes, these will definitely be there." Zheng Wanling said.
"It's not enough to just have it. One gram is gold, and ten grams is gold. How can they be the same?"
He Fengying raised her eyebrows: "Let me tell you this, the three golds together cannot be less than 50,000 yuan. If you really can't afford it, you can convert it into 30,000 yuan in cash and send it with the betrothal gifts."
"Mom!!!"
Wen Yuanyuan couldn't help it: "You might as well just let me die!"
The three golds worth no less than 50,000 yuan can actually be converted into 30,000 yuan in cash.
Is this for Wen Yuanyuan or He Fengying?
After all, He Fengying's little calculation is still on herself!
"It's New Year's Day, what are you talking about? You are so grown up and you don't know how to speak!" He Fengying scolded.
