Yan Yan had an unfortunate marriage, and she was purely a victim. That happened three years ago, and she still feels a little pain in her heart when she thinks about it.

Yan Yan’s ex-husband is called Qi Ruiqing. Before marrying Yan Yan, she had a good girlfriend, Liang Ping. The two of them had already reached the point of discussing marriage. They were young at that time, and they were young and energetic. Because of the bride price, the two

Things broke up.

Liang Ping is a well-behaved and sweet girl, with shoulder-length hair and bangs that stay above her eyebrows, exposing her well-defined eyebrows. Her face is slightly round, and her eyes curve into little moon buds when she smiles.

Liang Ping's greatest advantage is her filial piety. She listens to her parents and does whatever they say. Liang Ping is the eldest child in the family. The second child, the third child is a boy, the fourth child, and the fifth child are girls. The children are all shoulder to shoulder. Liang Ping is the eldest child in the family.

The age difference between Di and the eldest brother is only one year, and the age difference between the second and third children is also one year. By analogy, the fourth and fifth children are also in the same situation. When Liang Di has reached the age of marriage, the second and third children have also reached the age of starting a family.

, the family has many children and has no money to marry their son. What should they do if they have no money? Liang Qinglin and his wife have already planned to ask for more betrothal gifts, and first use the betrothal gifts from his daughter to marry their son to a wife.

How to ask for a bride price? There must be a standard. In the words of Liang Qinglin's wife Ma Zhongxia, the daughter was raised until she was in her twenties and she went to school. The family's contribution was not small, and now she can also earn a salary, get married and start a family.

Later, it was a big loss to my parents' family. If you want to ask why, it is that the money you earned can't be given to your parents' family.

Ma Zhongxia planned to calculate based on her daughter's weight, one pound would be 100 yuan, and 90 pounds would be a gift of 900 yuan, so she put together the total and asked for a thousand yuan. Looking at her daughter's slender and tall body,

Ma Zhongxia even regretted a little. If she had known this idea, she should have let her daughter eat more and gain weight, so that at least she could eat more food more confidently.

When Ma Zhongxia had nothing to do, she told her daughter how difficult it was to raise you sisters and brothers. Her family was so poor, and they had to squeeze food out of their teeth to support you in school. Now that you can make money, you can't forget about your family.

Liang Ping was very successfully brainwashed by her mother. She really understood from the bottom of her heart how difficult it was for her parents. Therefore, after working for these years, when her monthly salary was paid, apart from the necessary living expenses, she set aside everything else.

Leave it in your mother's hands.

Ma Zhongxia really regarded Qi Ruiqing as Tang Monk. She didn't want to think about it. Although Qi Ruiqing also worked, he had a large family behind him. He also had parents and brothers. His growth was not due to Northwest Feng, but also to his parents. He broke the money into two flowers and raised their brothers. Moreover, he had just started working, and his salary was only twenty-seven and a half yuan a month. Apart from the money for food, drink and honoring his parents, he couldn't save much money at all.

Qi Ruiqing's parents liked their daughter Liang Ping very much. The girl was not only beautiful, but also hard-working. She was their ideal daughter-in-law. Seeing that they were not too young, they wanted to settle the marriage quickly and find a good day for her. The two get married.

Qi's mother Shen Sumei told Liang Ping that on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she took her family to Liang's house to propose marriage and asked her to go back to her parents' house to say hello.

The in-laws are coming to visit, and Ma Zhongxia expresses her inner feelings to her daughter, "Ping, your old lady is coming to visit. Do you know what they have prepared for you and how much is the bride price?"

When it comes to her marriage, Liang Ping is still a little shy. Her eyes are shining with happiness, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, "Ruiqing didn't tell me, I only know how to buy a bicycle, Ms. Erliu's, for my convenience." ride."

Ma Zhongxia curled her lips and said, "You are too easy to kill. Are you satisfied with a bicycle?"

"Isn't it good for a bicycle? It costs more than 200 yuan."

"You are such a short-sighted kid, are you worth more than 200 yuan?" Ma Zhongxia glanced at her daughter, "You also know that our family has a difficult life. In order to support you in school, our family has no money at all. , don’t say you want to get married, Gangzi has been dating his girlfriend for two years, and Xiaodong seems to have been dating his girlfriend these days. Marriage is just a matter of time. How can our family have the money to hold a wedding for them? So Mom thought, please take care of the betrothal gift and Lao Qi’s family wants two.”

If you want more, you can ask for more. If you want more, you can ask for as much as you want. Liang Ping didn't think much about it at all, she just agreed, "Yes, I understand."

Qi Yaohui is an honest person, and Shen Sumei is basically in charge of everything at home. Qi Yaohui prepared the door-to-door gifts under Shen Sumei's arrangement. The gifts were all in even numbers, including tobacco, wine, candies, wedding cakes, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. Chickens, etc., filled the two big baskets to the brim.

When you visit your in-laws for the first time, you must be polite. For the life-long events of your children, you cannot let your in-laws choose their own reasons.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the family specially changed into clean clothes and headed straight to the Liang family with laughter and joy.

Ma Zhongxia also made preparations early and waited for the God of Wealth to come.

As soon as the two parties met, the atmosphere was really good. Ma Zhongxia held Shen Sumei's hand and did not let go until they sat down. The two families exchanged warm greetings for a moment before getting down to business.

Ma Zhongxia's enthusiasm made Shen Sumei feel very comfortable. They were about to become in-laws, and Shen Sumei was also willing to get close to her. She shook Ma Zhongxia's hand and smiled from ear to ear, "Big sister, your Liang Ping is a Good boy, the children have been dating for several years and are now grown up. Today I came to ask for my hand in marriage."

Liang Ping and Qi Ruiqing were sitting not far away with their fingers clasped together. When they heard Shen Sumei say this, they looked at each other and smiled, with little happiness on their faces.

"Well, I like Ruiqing's kid too." Ma Zhongxia looked at the pair of young children, "However, I have to discuss the bride price first. The custom here is that the groom must give a bride gift when he gets married."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Sumei interrupted her, "Don't worry, my parents-in-law will definitely prepare the bride price. Just follow the custom here. I will give you as much as you want. I can marry a good girl like your Liang Ping as my daughter-in-law." , I will be happy even if you give me more."

Liang Ping lowered her head shyly, Qi Ruiqing was thick-skinned and secretly hooked Liang Ping's palm with her nails.

How much does a custom cost? Three hundred would be a fortune. Ma Zhongxia frowned and said, "Sister, my daughter is different from other girls. How many girls in the custom have jobs? My daughter, Technical secondary school graduates have an iron rice bowl and can make money. When I marry into your family, I bring my salary with me. We can’t compare with others.”

Shen Sumei paused in her heart. This didn't sound right. She kept a smile on her face and tried her best to make Ma Zhongxia feel her sincerity. "Sister, just tell me, this is the most important thing in the child's life. Even if you lend me, you can do your best." satisfy. "

After waiting for these words, Ma Zhongxia naturally said the number in her mind, "I think, we will have long-lasting happy events."

"Yes." Shen Sumei agreed.

Ma Zhongxia: "I don't want much, I'm just looking for an auspicious number. You can only give me nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan as a betrothal gift."

"What!" Shen Sumei froze.

"What!" Liang Ping was stunned. Her mother said she wanted more betrothal gifts, but she never expected that she would ask for so much more. She often went to the Qi family, and she could see the Qi family's financial situation, and it didn't look like it. People who can spend more than 900 yuan.

"What!" Qi Ruiqing even stood up. He stared at Ma Zhongxia and then Liang Qinglin in disbelief to make sure that he heard correctly. His mother-in-law asked for more than 900 yuan at once, so he immediately asked her for more than 900 yuan. He was stunned. He couldn't even get out five hundred, let alone nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Qi Yaohui, an honest man, was even speechless.

Unexpectedly, the Qi family's reaction was so fierce. Ma Zhongxia twitched her lips and said, "Listen to me, the money I want is not that much. My daughter now earns more than 20 a month and more than 300 a year. If she marries into your family This money is yours, do I want more than nine hundred and ninety-nine?"

"Did you say too much?" Shen Sumei forced a smile on her face, "The custom here is eighty-eight, one hundred and eighty-eight. The most I heard is two hundred and eighty-eight. It's better for you. All of a sudden Come on, nine hundred and ninety-nine, you say more or not."

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, and Ma Zhongxia stopped holding hands with Shen Sumei. She stood up, walked to Liang Ping, took her daughter's hand, and separated her from Qi Ruiqing, "My daughter is worth this money, I will give you the bride price." It’s nine hundred and ninety-nine, not a penny less. If you agree, we can continue the discussion. If you don’t agree, there is no need for us to talk.” Then she proudly showed off, “On this condition, my daughter. , there are many people waiting to come to propose marriage."

"Mom—" Liang Ping stamped her feet anxiously, "How can there be such a thing?"

Ma Zhongxia's eyes widened, "Don't say a word, sir!"

Shen Sumei wanted to fight for it again, "Sister, look at this, we still have to discuss this matter, and we can't just say how much you say."

"Stop." This time it was Ma Zhongxia's turn to interrupt Shen Sumei. Her attitude was very firm, "This money is really what I say."

"Auntie." Qi Ruiqing begged: "My family really can't afford the money you want. If you have less, I will find a way to borrow it."
