"It has something to do with me. What did Uncle Yang talk about with you?" Qiao Nan raised her eyebrows. She was so polite. Why did her father talk to Uncle Yang about her?
"Hahaha..." Qiao Dongliang patted his thigh and smiled: "Don't you, Uncle Yang, have a son? Your Uncle Yang came to our house last time to help us move things. Seeing what you think is good, he just told me today.
, at that time, he even thought about asking you to be his daughter-in-law!"
It is said that if a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will want her.
Qiao Dongliang really knew what this sentence meant from Qiao Nan.
He was a member of the Zhou family before, and now he is a colleague. As the one being "begged", Qiao Dongliang felt very happy.
"..." Just because of this, her father was so happy.
Qiao Dongliang took a sip of water: "But your Uncle Yang gave up quickly. He wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible, but he couldn't wait that long. I have seen his daughter-in-law. Compared with you, of course she is more than a little behind.
But compared to others, it’s actually pretty good.”
Qiao Nan poured another glass of water for Qiao Dongliang: "Dad, just because of this, are you so happy?"
"Hey..." Qiao Dongliang sighed: "It's not that I want to think about it later, but now that I think about it, it is actually much better to have a daughter than a son. In our family's situation, if one of you and your sister is a son, I will
You don’t even know what you can do to get this son a wife. You don’t know how much money your Uncle Yang spent on this daughter-in-law.”
The two children he gave birth to were daughters. From now on, other people would beg for them at their doorstep, not him.
It is really not easy to have a son now. Marrying a wife costs money for everything.
Qiao Dongliang only had two daughters, so he never understood the situation in this area. But after talking to Lao Yang today, he realized that the burden of giving birth to a son was so heavy.
Today's young people don't seem to like living with their elders. They want a separate home. If you are a parent, you will naturally have to spend money to buy a separate house for the young couple.
The reason why Lao Yang is so anxious to get his son a wife is because he is afraid that his son will have to pay more money to marry a wife in the future.
With Lao Yang's son as a comparison, Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but think of the time when he married Ding Jiayi.
Back then, it was really not easy for the two of them to get together. There was no ceremony at all. They just invited a few people to a meal and got a certificate, and they were considered married.
At that time, there were three major things to consider when getting married.
Ding Jiayi had a falling out with the Ding family, and Qiao Dongliang didn't even give the Ding family much, which was like picking up a wife for nothing. Of course, Qiao Dongliang didn't give a betrothal gift, and Ding Jiayi didn't bring any dowry to the Qiao family.
Qiao Nan sat down and smiled: "Dad, don't make it so easy. It does cost a lot of money to raise a son and marry a wife in the future, but the burden of having a daughter is not much lighter than having a son. Don't forget
, a girl needs a dowry when she gets married. If you don’t tell me, how much do you think my sister will need before she is willing to nod?"
Qiao Zijin had good vision. Before the housing prices rose sharply, he exploited her through her mother and gave her a house as a dowry to the Chen family.
The Chen family only needs that when Qiao Zijin marries over, he should not be too shabby and embarrass the Chen family. As for the things that Qiao Zijin brings to marry into the Chen family, the Chen family simply doesn't like them and has always been with Qiao Zijin.
Jin's hand.
Qiao Zijin not only wants a house as a dowry, but also a deposit and a TV set.
Fortunately, Qiao Zijin only married Chen Jun in early 2000.
After 2000, China's economy developed and everyone's living standards improved greatly. However, at that time, not every household had four wheels. Unlike a year after 010, almost every household had one, and many even had one.
There are now two or three cars.
Therefore, in the year 2000, when Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun, the only request he did not make to the Qiao family was to marry him with a four-wheeled car.
In a word, Qiao Zijin is not that easy to dismiss.
When Qiao Zijin was mentioned, Qiao Dongliang's expression changed: "Your sister, did your sister tell you how much dowry she will need when she gets married?"
When it comes to Qiao Zijin's temperament, Qiao Dongliang is really not sure, but usually, Qiao Zijin has very high requirements for food, clothing and clothing. To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who is very good at enjoying things.
They are not willing to treat themselves badly.
"My sister's relationship with me is not that good yet. But I heard my sister mentioned to my mother that she will either not marry in the future, or if she wants to marry, the conditions in the other person's family must be very good. My sister is like that
A person who strives for face. Do you think that if she really finds such a family, she might not want to bring more dowry to marry her, so as not to be looked down upon by her husband's family?"
"..." Qiao Dongliang was silent for a moment. This time he did not refute Qiao Nan's words at all, because he knew that Qiao Zijin was really such a person.
The sentence described by Qiao Nan definitely came from Qiao Zijin.
It can be said that the kind of man Qiao Zijin said he was looking for was exactly the opposite of him.
Holding the cup in his hand, Qiao Dongliang smiled faintly: "No matter how high your sister's demands are, your mother and I will divorce after two years of separation. Your sister belongs to your mother, even if your sister raises another
The high demands have nothing to do with me, these will be your mother's business from now on."
Thinking of Lao Yang's words to persuade him today, Qiao Dongliang's mood has calmed down a lot.
Lao Yang is right, if Zi Jin really regards him as his father, treats him well, cares about him, and is filial to him, then he should put more thought and energy into Zi Jin.
On the contrary, if Zijin doesn't need him as a father at all, why should he put his hot face on his eldest daughter's cold butt again?
Qiao Dongliang had to admit that judging from the current situation, his father was not needed by Qiao Zijin. His concern for Qiao Zijin may not only be unnecessary in Qiao Zijin's heart, but he also felt that he
Annoying.
Thinking about how much Qiao Zijin fawned over Wang Yang during the meal at Zhu's house a year ago, Qiao Dongliang took a deep breath.
He felt that Wang Yang was a big trap, and Zi Jin would definitely fall into Wang Yang's trap. But in Zi Jin's eyes, Wang Yang was probably a gold mine that she had been looking for for a long time, so how could she be willing to give up.
Even Lao Yang knows the principle of arsenic for me and honey for others. If he couldn't figure it out, his life would have been in vain for so many years.
Hearing these words, Qiao Nan hesitated for a moment: "Dad, have you really figured it out, or did you figure it out temporarily?" It won't be long before the old illness relapses, and her heart is full of worries.
Qiao Zijin still wants to embarrass her?
"I didn't figure it out completely, nor did I figure it out all at once. Your sister has the same temperament as your mother." (To be continued)
