Chapter 1522 The old and the young have different opinions
Cheng Huanran made trouble twice. Although the elders in the family were old, they were not fools. They quickly came over to ask what was going on.
So, as soon as the news spread, 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 big 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?"
"Need not."
Cheng Huanran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's still a mess! I've been on leave for the past two days and Yangyang didn't have class in the afternoon. He ran home for lunch at noon and said he would go back to class early tomorrow morning.
Everyone is more concerned about my life events than me, the rightful owner, I am so touched and flattered."
At this moment, Ahu stood up excitedly with his little grandson in his arms.
"You young people have never been married, so you don't understand the true meaning of marriage.
Marriage is about finding someone you like to live with, do you understand?
Life is just three meals a day of firewood, rice, oil and salt - be realistic! It is only natural for people to raise their daughters to such a big age that they need a house and a betrothal gift when they get married."
"wrong!"
Xiao Huzi lay across the sofa, wagging his index finger slightly: "It's normal to ask for a betrothal gift if you want a house, but asking for too much is too pretentious! If a girl is raised and married, is it possible that the girl will no longer belong to their family?
From now on, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law will still have to honor them and provide for them in their old age. It is not like they gave them a house as a betrothal gift and they can ignore them in the future.
The betrothal gift is reasonable, but to ask for a lot of betrothal gifts is to sell your daughter - it is both sad and unreasonable!"
"right!"
Xue Yang immediately applauded and hurriedly swallowed the plum in his mouth, "That's right! Marrying a daughter doesn't mean selling her.
Besides, it’s hard to sell your daughter at such an expensive price! It’s so greedy to ask for hundreds of millions of my brother’s real estate in one go! Even if you were made of gold, it wouldn’t be so expensive.
What's more, these properties are not my brother's at all, they are all gifts from the elders - they are obviously pre-marital property and have little to do with the spouse. They can be lived in and used, but they cannot be owned."
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."
"I'm in pretty good shape."
While licking the ice cream, Xue Xin muttered: "It's just 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, "I 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 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.
Based on this calculation, it’s no problem to buy tens of millions of them.”
"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 is simply the concept of managing a country!"
Everyone laughed! “The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!”
Father Xue glared at the juniors in a funny way and said, "How can we compare like this? 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! We have discussed the marriage and we will hold a wedding banquet during the summer vacation.
Be smarter and try to let your parents have their grandson by this time next year, and your grandparents and grandma can also upgrade quickly!"
"Yeah!"
The three old people couldn't smile 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 I don't live forever?
The divorce rate is extremely high nowadays, especially in developed big cities, where one out of every few couples will get divorced.
If you don't get along, hundreds of millions will be stolen 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 pouted and muttered: "In my opinion, if you really love someone, you can even give him your life, let alone property and personal belongings.
If the eldest brother really loves her, he should give her everything he has."
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?
A certain person is very greedy, he wants his life, his property, his possessions, 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 is the same thing.
Everything Brother Tietou owns is earned with his own hands.
When you married Aunt Wang Qing, it was all money you earned.
But right now I am just a poor student, and the properties they want are inherited from my elders, so they don’t count.”
