Chapter 1522 Different Opinions Between Young and Old
Cheng Huanran made trouble twice. Although the elders in the family were old, they were not old fools. They quickly came to break the casserole and ask what was going on.
So, after spreading the word, the family soon found out about it.
Several old people all agreed that since they wanted to marry someone else's daughter, they had to show their sincerity to some extent. Since they could afford the betrothal gift, they should pay it.
The younger generation didn't think so, and they all shook their heads to express their disapproval.
Not only Xue Yang said this, but Xiao Huzi also said this. Even Cheng Huanchong and Xue Xin, who had just returned home from the second model exam and were about to have a good sleep, suddenly became energetic and kept expressing their disapproval.
Chen Xinzhi, who was responsible for bringing them back, was also pulled into the living room and forced to become an audience.
Xue Ling handed him a glass of warm water and said with a smile: "It's rare that there are so many people here. Let's stay for dinner tonight."
Chen Xinzhi thanked him and glanced at his beloved Keren'er out of the corner of his eye, feeling extremely reluctant to let go.
Thinking that if he stayed for dinner, the two of them could have some time alone after dinner, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I really like the steamed snacks in the garden."
"Okay, I'll let the kitchen prepare it," Xue Ling said.
Cheng Huanran came over holding the pillow and whispered: "Brother Tietou."
Chen Xinzhi smiled slightly and said warmly: "Do you need help?"
"No need." Cheng Huanran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's still a mess! I've been at home for the past two days, and Yang Yang has no classes in the afternoon. He ran home for lunch at noon and said he would rush back to class early tomorrow morning. Everyone is more serious than me, the real boss.
I am so touched and flattered that you care about my important life events."
At this moment, Ahu stood up excitedly with his little grandson in his arms.
"You young people have never been married, and you don't understand the true meaning of marriage at all. Marriage is about finding a person you like to live with, do you understand? Life is about three meals a day of firewood, rice, oil and salt - let's be realistic! People treat their daughters like girls
When you grow up to be that big, it’s normal for people to ask for a house and a bride price when you get married.”
"Wrong!" Xiao Huzi lay across the sofa, wagging his index finger lightly: "It's normal to ask for a bride price if you want a house, but asking for too much would be too pretentious! If a girl marries someone after she is raised, could it be possible that her girl will no longer be like them?
In the future, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law will still have to honor them and provide for them in their old age. It’s not like they gave them a house as a betrothal gift, so they can ignore them in the future. The betrothal gift is reasonable, and if you want a lot of betrothal gifts, that means selling your daughter—
—It’s emotional and irrational!”
"Yes!" Xue Yang clapped immediately and hurriedly swallowed the plum in his mouth, "That's right! Marrying a daughter doesn't mean selling her daughter. Besides, selling a daughter is not so expensive! How much does it cost my brother in one breath?
Real estate worth hundreds of millions is so greedy! Even if the whole person is made of gold, it doesn't need to be so expensive. What's more, these real estates are not my brother's at all, but are gifts from the elders - they are obviously pre-marital property, and they are not the same as those of my spouse.
It doesn’t matter much, you can live in it and use it, but you can’t own it.”
Cheng Huanchong on the side was tapping the calculator and muttering: "Now gold is about 480 yuan per gram, and 500 grams per pound, so one pound is about 240,000 yuan."
Then, he looked up at his eldest brother and asked, "How much does your girlfriend weigh?"
Cheng Huanran held his head and replied feebly: "One meter sixty-eight meters, one hundred and ten pounds."
"The figure is pretty good." Xue Xin muttered while licking the ice cream: "But it's a little on the heavier side. If I could lose about five pounds, I would be completely slim and good-looking!"
"It's not good to be too thin." Chen Xinzhi smiled fondly and snatched the ice cream from her hand. "We can't eat it anymore. The weather is not hot enough. Eating too much is bad for the stomach."
Xue Xin pouted aggrievedly and looked at him pitifully.
Chen Xinzhi felt a little soft-hearted and hesitated to hand back the ice cream in his hand.
Cheng Huanran snatched it and threw it into the trash can. Then he lowered his face and glared at his sister. The majesty of his elder brother was clearly revealed.
Forehead?
Xue Xin curled her lips, not daring to make another mistake, and stayed close to Chen Xinzhi.
Cheng Huanchong over there looked at the big calculator and shouted loudly: "Based on today's gold price, one hundred and ten pounds of gold is about 26.4 million."
"Did you hear that, the asking price is much more expensive than gold!" Xiao Huzi laughed loudly: "You can buy more than twenty of them!"
Xue Xin chuckled and said: "If you are in a war-torn country or a backward country, you can buy a woman for a few hundred yuan or even dozens of yuan. If you calculate it like this, you can buy tens of millions of yuan without any problem."
"Pfft!" Cheng Huanchong laughed heartily: "It's no problem to buy it, but it's a big problem to raise it. Think about it, buying the population of a small country at once, three meals a day, and several sets of clothes per person - that's simply management.
The concept of country!”
Everyone laughed!
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" Dad Xue glared at the juniors in a funny way and said, "How can such a comparison be considered? Don't talk nonsense unless it's too big a deal."
Liu Ying and Mother Xue surrounded Cheng Huanran on the left and right, coaxing: "Bring the person home first! Let us take a look."
"That's right! We've been talking about it for five years, and we have to bring it back a long time ago."
Ahu rode his little grandson on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Bring him back quickly! Let's discuss the marriage and hold a wedding banquet during the summer vacation. Be smart and try to let your parents hold their grandson by this time next year. Your grandparents and grandma
It can also be upgraded faster!”
"Yes, yes!" The three old men laughed from ear to ear.
"We haven't reached an agreement yet!" Xue Yang reminded: "My parents have asked my eldest brother to make an appointment with the other parent's parents, but he said he doesn't want to do it yet."
Ahu was always very cheerful and said: "Silly boy, if you really like someone, then give them the real estate! They will stay with you forever and give you children, so you should treat them well."
"You can't say that." Xiao Huzi stopped him and said, "What if it doesn't last forever? The divorce rate is so high now, especially in developed big cities, where one of the few newlyweds will get divorced. If they can't get along,
I'm going to take away hundreds of millions from you in a few years! Brother, it's really hard to make money. You didn't earn these, so you can't give them away lightly!"
"You can't say that!" Xue Xin muttered: "In my opinion, if you really love someone, you can even give him your life, let alone any property. If the eldest brother really loves her,
, and it’s appropriate to give her everything.”
After saying this, she shyly glanced at Chen Xinzhi secretly.
Chen Xinzhi smiled fondly and nodded gently, obviously supporting his sweetheart's words.
Xue Yang smiled ambiguously and asked loudly: "Brother Tietou, are you willing? This person is very greedy, he wants his life, his property, his belongings, everything!"
Chen Xinzhi smiled and nodded, his eyebrows full of confidence, "Of course I am willing."
"Wow! Wow!!"
"Hahaha! I would like to!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Xue Xin shyly hid in Chen Xinzhi's arms and said coquettishly: "They didn't say it was me at all! You just took it for granted!"
"Hahaha!"
Ahu gave a thumbs up and praised: "That's right! This is the courage and responsibility that a man should have!"
Cheng Huanran smiled helplessly and shrugged.
"Uncle Hu, one thing means another. Everything Brother Tietou owns is earned with his own hands. When you married Aunt Wang Qing, it was all earned by yourself. But now I am just a poor student.
The properties they want are all inherited from my elders, so they don’t count.”
"That's right! This is the crux of the problem!" Xiao Huzi said.
