"Brother, Chen Jinlan opened her mouth loudly. The request is too unreasonable. I told Lijuan that the one hundred yuan gift, sewing machine and watch she asked for are fine, but the others are not good and I can't afford them. If she is willing to marry, she can

Marry, I don’t blame her if she doesn’t want to marry.”

According to Chen Jinlan's request to marry her daughter, it would be difficult for Zhang Lijuan to get married in Shiliba Village. People who marry a daughter-in-law can give three major wedding items, which is considered a high-quality wedding. Chen Jinlan actually wants a black and white TV. One of those things costs

It costs several hundred yuan. No ordinary person can afford it. Besides, it is of little use at home. Who has time to sit at home and watch TV every day?

If Zhang Lijuan is willing to marry him, he will not treat Zhang Lijuan badly in the future. There is a bicycle left by her eldest brother at home that is 80% new, so there is no need to buy a new one.

He could try his best to satisfy himself with the watches, sewing machines and betrothal gifts. After all, he had dozens of yuan in savings, and his mother also had more than two hundred yuan, adding up to about three hundred yuan. He could borrow about two hundred yuan from his eldest brother, which would be enough for the wedding.

Of course, if he borrows money from his eldest brother, he will use his salary to pay off the debt, and he can pay it off in less than a year. All the money he earns in the future will be saved for Zhang Lijuan. But if Zhang Lijuan’s family does not relent and insists on a black and white TV, then he will only

I can let go of this relationship.

He admitted that he liked Zhang Lijuan, but he was not convinced of Zhang Lijuan. If Zhang Lijuan's family did not let go, the two of them would have no choice but to give up. In the past two years, he would not think about getting married anymore and would just save money for two years.

"As long as you have made a decision in your mind." Si Chen's face softened a lot and he said softly: "Yao Yao and I will help you when you get married, but I have the same idea as you. I won't buy black and white TVs and bicycles for the time being. You can do the rest by yourself.

make a decision."

Hearing that his eldest brother was standing on the same front as him, Si Boyi felt much more relaxed and vowed: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not a soft-hearted person. If Lijuan really wants to live with me, she will

I will lower my requirements, and I will treat her well in the future. If she accepts death and insists on those things and won’t let go, then I won’t delay her in finding a partner.”

Although Si Boyi is dull and stubborn, he is also a person with strong opinions in his heart, and he can see some things very clearly. Although he does not have a new house to get married, if you look around, there are not many people getting married and building new tile-roofed houses in the ten villages.

.

Other people's wedding fees are usually between 20 and 60 yuan, and one of the three major items is considered good. Chen Jinlan not only asked for the three major items and a black and white TV, but also wanted a hundred yuan as a bride price as a dowry.

He didn't have any problem with not having a dowry, but the black and white TV and the bicycle were a waste of money.

Chen Jinlan knew that he didn't have that much money, but he still wanted so many things. It was obviously for his eldest brother and sister-in-law. This kind of calculation was too loud, and Si Boyi couldn't accept it.

Besides, because of Chen Jinlan's temper, if Zhang Lijuan doesn't have her own ideas, she will definitely be disturbed by Chen Jinlan's interference after her marriage. It's better to break off now.

"You are not young anymore. You can think about anything by yourself. After all, it is your life-long event. You and Lijuan can discuss it by yourself. If we can set a date, Yaoyao and I will go back and help you hold the wedding." My father is not here.

As the eldest brother, Si Chen still has to go back to help manage the overall situation when his younger brother gets married.

As long as Chen Jinlan doesn't go too far, he has no big objection to this marriage.

Si Boyi held the phone tightly and said, "Brother, don't worry. Although I have a stubborn temper, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to weigh myself. If Chen Jinlan wants to tease me, don't even think about it."

His father passed away early, and his eldest brother was his blood relative. Before marrying Zhang Lijuan, he and Zhang Lijuan were not a family, so of course they would not have a disagreement with his eldest brother because of an outsider.

In Si Boyi's heart, Si Chen is like a father, and he firmly believes that his elder brother will not harm him.

"As long as you have an idea, I'll hang up now and you can go back and rest early."

Si Chen hung up the phone and led Tong Yao out of the phone hall. The night wind blew, and Tong Yao shivered in the cold. Si Chen took off his coat and put it on her body.

"Although Boyi is honest, he is not without ideas. We will wait for the news."

Tong Yao also heard Si Boyi's words just now, and thought to herself that her kindness to Si Boyi was not in vain. Since he is so sensible, it doesn't hurt to help him more.

"If Zhang Lijuan is really willing to take a step back and marry Boyi, we can't treat them badly when they get married. Let's give them a gift of two hundred yuan when the time comes!"

Tong Yao has calculated the wedding expenses. If Zhang Lijuan agrees to Si Boyi's request and she gives her a gift of two hundred yuan, the couple will still have some money left after they get married. Plus Si Boyi's current salary from work, the two of them can live a comfortable life.

Not bad, better than 90% of the people in the village.

In a year or two, when her family builds a small western-style building, she will also make a big profit.

Whether Zhang Lijuan has a blessed life depends on her choice this time.

At this time, Zhang Lijuan was anxiously wandering around at home. She had been getting along with Si Boyi for several months. Her impression of Si Boyi was getting better and better. She tried to get in touch with him from the beginning, and now she really likes him. She usually likes Si Boyi.

Si Boyi always listened to her words, tolerated her, and treated her very well.

Unexpectedly, Si Boyi lost his temper when it came to the betrothal gift and was unwilling to agree to her family's request.

In fact, the one hundred yuan gift, including a watch and a sewing machine, was the highest gift in any village in Shiliba. However, her mother refused to let go and insisted on a black and white TV set and a bicycle, no matter what.

Now Si Boyi ignored her. After receiving her call, he said that if the bride price was not willing to give up, there would be no need for the two of them to get along. Thinking that there was a beautiful girl in Si Boyi's shop, Zhang Lijuan felt a little restless.

Unable to hold on any longer, he ran to Chen Jinlan's room and cried.

"Mom, you were the one who said that life would be easier after joining Boyi, but now you are deliberately asking for such a high gift. Aren't you trying to break up Boyi and me? Now Boyi has said that he can give you a hundred at most.

Money, a sewing machine, and a watch. If our family insists on a black and white TV and a bicycle, he won't get along with me. Now everyone in the village knows about him and me. If he really doesn't want me anymore, how can I have any face in the future?

Stay in the village!"

"Why did I give birth to such a worthless daughter like you?" Chen Jinlan angrily poked her daughter on the forehead and cursed: "Can't you calm down? Lin Fengying came to me to talk about your marriage. Their family is just a singer.

A black face, a white face

, If our family lets go now, they will be trapped. Don’t worry about this matter. Let’s calm down. Their family will definitely have to compromise. Si Chen and Tong Yao open a milk tea shop in the city and make a lot of money a month. If they don’t want it now, they will do it later.

How do you have the right to ask them for money?"
