He yawned loudly, then slowly took out his cell phone, and found that it was his wife. He hurriedly swiped to answer the call.
"Hello? Ah? Oh oh oh! I'm over in the living room - come over right now!"
Cheng Huanran saw him jump up and leave quickly, and couldn't help but ask: "Is something wrong?"
"No!"
Cheng Huanran heard that it was a "little matter", so he ignored him and closed his eyes leisurely to catch up on his sleep.
I was so excited and happy last night that I almost didn't sleep all night. I took a quick nap while there was no one around to regain my energy and spend time with my wife.
Xue Yang, who was on the other side of Xinyuan, was not in a good mood, especially after listening to his wife's explanation, his expression was even worse.
"Why did your sister find such a weird guy? She's not married yet, and she's just plotting this and that. If she really marries such a man, she'll die of frustration sooner or later!"
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Xiao Zhang seems to be quite honest, but his mind is full of twists and turns! I didn't know that my sister was about to get married, but he suddenly did this!"
"It's good to know now." Xue Yang said with a solemn face: "If you have anything to say, please tell me clearly before we get married, so that your sister can completely see his true face and the true face of his family. Do you want to get married or not?
If you have the time and opportunity to think it over carefully, it will be too late by the time it is finally settled."
Wang Xiaoxiao's tears rolled slightly and she said angrily: "My parents tolerated him again and again. They always thought that as long as my sister liked him, everything else didn't matter. His family saw that our family members were good-tempered, so they kept looking for him again and again.
All kinds of excuses to ask for this or that! Insatiable greed!"
Xue Yang put his hands under his head and asked: "How was the money for the decoration calculated later?"
Wang Xiaoxiao replied: "At first, it was said that his parents bought the wedding house, and they paid for the decoration. My sister initially refused, saying that their wedding house was too far away from her work, so it was better for him to live in her house.
But his family refused, saying that he would be teased by outsiders for marrying into our house. Later, my sister and he spent money to renovate the new house."
"Half per person?" Xue Yang asked.
Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It seems that the calculation is not that clear. I asked my sister, and she took more than 200,000 yuan. She took out all her savings. Even my parents helped with part of it, otherwise it would not be enough.
"
Xue Yang frowned and said, "How can it be that you can't calculate clearly? When decorating, you can calculate exactly what materials are used for each piece, how much the labor is, and how much materials are used."
"It's all done by his family." Wang Xiaoxiao replied: "My sister usually has to go to work and doesn't know how to decorate. She only occasionally takes a look when she has time. I took it several times and always said it was not enough. What is the specific use?
I can't tell you why, that's why my sister is so angry."
"A house of more than a hundred square meters." Xue Yang sneered: "It's just ordinary decoration, as for hundreds of thousands? Then the house is only hundreds of thousands, right? The decoration is more expensive than the house? That guy will definitely spend less than your sister!
"
Wang Xiaoxiao hummed: "As for the betrothal gift, my parents just said it was a little trivial. There is no need to follow the trend and ask for too much. They didn't say how much the betrothal gift was, and they just kept asking how much dowry my parents could give. My parents were very embarrassed and said that people around them
I spent all my savings on buying and renovating a house for my sister, so I couldn't give her much as a dowry. Xiao Zhang said that he already had a car, but my sister didn't have one yet. If she lived in the wedding house, my sister would be a little far away from her work. I hope my parents would
Prepare a car as a dowry for my sister. My parents finally agreed and said they would buy an electric car worth tens of thousands of yuan. They started making a fuss, saying that the dowry was so shabby even though the betrothal gift was so much!"
"How much is the betrothal gift?" Xue Yang frowned and asked angrily: "I always say that I will give a high price for the betrothal gift. How high is it?"
Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I haven't said it yet, but they always say that their family will give a lot of betrothal gifts. My parents said that there is no need for a betrothal gift, and even if it is given to them, they will not accept it. But the dowry can only be an ordinary car, and there is no luxury.
car."
"They want a BMW, right?" Xue Yang asked.
Wang Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "Xiao Zhang said that a colleague in his work unit had just gotten married, and he was also in the system. His wife's dowry was a luxury car worth more than one million yuan. He thought that my sister only had a car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Sometimes he would make his colleagues look down on him and say he would try to buy a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz.”
"Fight for it?" Xue Yang sneered: "How to fight for it? Let your sister borrow it from you or someone else? Make it difficult for your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the whole family to pay for him to earn face - he really dares to ask for it!"
Wang Xiaoxiao was so angry that her eyes were red, and she said: "He...he also said that he would like to have a video call or meet with us, and that he would discuss the issue of my parents' pension before getting married."
Xue Yang raised his eyebrows but didn't object much.
"I can agree to this. If you really decide to get married, then he will become a part of your family. Your parents' pension is the responsibility of you two sisters, and it is also the responsibility of our two small families. How to provide for the elderly, of course
You need to make it clear in advance to avoid conflicts later.”
Wang Xiaoxiao gave him a look and said, "He said that since I married far away, I will definitely not be able to help take care of my parents in the future."
“So?”
It's time to go south. We are far away, but if we don't say anything, we will shirk responsibility - why should he talk nonsense!"
Wang Xiaoxiao snorted: "He said that we can't take care of the elderly, and we won't have a share in all my parents' real estate and retirement salary. My sister must tell me everything clearly, and I don't want any disputes to arise in the future. My sister
I was very angry and told him that I don’t care about these things, and neither do you, and asked him not to look at a little property and salary as a big deal all day long.”
“Well said!”
It sounds grand, but in reality? It’s so hypocritical!”
Wang Xiaoxiao held her forehead and explained: "He said, if I really don't care, then I have to ask your opinion. If we really don't have any opinion, then we can sign the contract together so that we won't regret it in the future. That's all.
This one really pissed off my parents."
"...Are you okay?" Xue Yang asked with concern: "We can't let such a villain get angry and sick!"
Wang Xiaoxiao sighed: "My mother was so angry that she developed high blood pressure. She had a headache last night. After taking the medicine, it didn't have much effect. She didn't fall asleep until dawn. My father and my sister took turns taking care of her, so they didn't sleep all night last night.
