Chapter 90: The Sky-high Price Gift of Six Hundred Dollars

At this time, Zhou Ran was even more grateful that he had saved enough money before Zhou Qingli's tragic fate happened.

Zhou Ran pulled He Chunhua into the house and told He Chunhua, "Mom, when I go to Zhou's house later, their betrothal gift is a few hundred yuan. You have to agree. From the money I give you,

Let’s settle the third brother’s marriage first.”

When He Chunhua heard that Zhou Ran wanted to touch her dowry, she immediately disagreed, "How can this be done? If you ask for too much money, it's definitely not possible. That's the dowry saved for you, so you can't touch it."

"Mom, I can save my dowry slowly, don't worry, I have a job now and can get paid every month, so I can save all this money.

Third brother's affairs are the most important right now, don't let third brother miss out on a good marriage just because of a little money."

Seeing that Zhou Ran was serious, He Chunhua agreed, "Okay, okay, mother will listen to you, won't you?"

He Chunhua was very pleased to know that her daughter was good to her brothers.

As parents, we actually want to see brothers and sisters helping each other and loving each other.

When the day comes when the old couple is gone, they will know that they can support each other and go on.

In the afternoon, He Chunhua and Zhou Shuhua took Zhou Qingli to Wang Li's house.

Liu Lifen wanted to go with him.

She was afraid that her parents-in-law would promise too many benefits and she would suffer a loss.

When Zhou Qingyi married her, her husband's family gave her a bride price of fifty yuan.

If you want to give the third child a wife, you can't give too much.

No matter how much the third daughter-in-law pays, she must maintain the same level. Even if she is married now, she must make up for it.

If I didn't follow him, how could I possibly know what was going on?

Seeing Liu Lifen following, He Chunhua reprimanded somewhat unhappily, "Second daughter-in-law, why are you following me? Stay at home."

Liu Lifen smiled coquettishly and said, "Mom, if more people come to our family, it will create more momentum, right? I can support the scene a little bit by going."

He Chunhua rolled his eyes at Liu Lifen and said, "This is to propose marriage to your third brother, not to fight. If you want to make a grand scene, just stay at home and don't cause any trouble for me."

Being scolded by He Chunhua, Liu Lifen couldn't go even if she wanted to.

In the end, the only ones who went to Wang Li's house were Zhou Shuhua, He Chunhua, and Zhou Qingli.

Wang Li's family hadn't expected the Zhou family to suddenly visit them. The two families didn't have much contact, so they asked, "What are we here for?"

He Chunhua said with a smile, "Liliniang, our family came here this time to discuss marriage with your family.

The third child in my family is not young anymore, and I think your Lili is a pretty good girl.

Today I want to ask if there is any chance for our two families to get married."

Hearing He Chunhua's words, Wang Liniang was silent for a moment and replied directly, "I guess there is no chance. Our Lili's marriage has already been agreed upon."

Wang Liniang had no intention of having a deep conversation with the Zhou family. The in-laws she found for her daughter could provide a gift of 500 yuan. Even if the Zhou family was in good condition in the countryside, they could not afford such a large sum of money.

He Chunhua didn't mean to give up, but continued, "Liliniang, our family is here to propose marriage sincerely.

I think Lili is a pretty good girl. Our third child likes her very much. Let’s see if we can have a good discussion..."

Before Wang Li's parents could refuse, Wang Li heard the noise outside the house and ran out. After hearing the conversation between her parents and the Zhou family, she immediately said, "Mom, I want to marry Zhou Qingli, not anyone else.

Father, mother, please help me..."

After Wang Li finished speaking, she knelt down in front of her parents with a plop.

Wang Li's parents finally realized that their daughter might have hooked up with Zhou Qingli a long time ago. Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that as soon as Wang Li's marriage was decided, the Zhou family came to their house to propose marriage.

"You damn girl, your father and I have worked so hard to bring you up, how dare you go against us?

Marriage is determined by the orders of parents and the advice of matchmakers. You can marry whomever we tell you to marry. How can it be your turn to make the decision yourself?"

After Wang Liniang finished speaking, Wang Li's sister-in-law said next to her, "That's right, little sister, your parents raised you so well, it's time for you to repay your kindness. You can't lose your conscience because of some random people."

."

After hearing what Wang Li's parents said, He Chunhua was furious.

If it weren't for her son's liking for parents and family members like Wang Li, she really wouldn't care to be her in-laws.

He Chunhua suppressed her inner displeasure and said, "Dad Lili, Lili Niang, you see, this is a new society. It is different from before. Arranged marriages are no longer popular in the past. We have to listen to the children's thoughts and opinions."

Opinion, right?

Since the two children look at each other, why not help them?

We, the Zhou family, also know everything. We are all in the same production team, so it will be easier for us to travel between each other in the future, right?

When this girl Lili gets married, we will definitely not treat her badly."

Wang Liniang said "poof".

"What you say is better than what you sing. Our family is not stupid.

My daughter can marry a city man, why should I let her marry a country man?

People in the city can provide a bride price of 500 yuan, can your family provide it?

If your family can provide five hundred, no, six hundred yuan as a bride price, I will agree to this marriage, otherwise I won’t even think about it.”

Wang Liniang planned to sell her daughter from the beginning.

People in the city pay 500 yuan, but the Zhou family has to ask for 600 yuan. The conditions of the Zhou family are not as good as those in the city, and there will be less help for their family in the future. They will definitely need more money, an extra 100 yuan.

Not too much.

However, Wang Liniang felt that the Zhou family would definitely not be able to afford so much money.

Not to mention the Zhou family, no one in the entire production team could afford so much money for a wife.

Getting a wife in the countryside can be as cheap as tens of dollars.

It's rare to spend more than a hundred dollars.

Although Wang Liniang is strange, she is still a sensible person. Their daughter is not decorated with gold and silver, so why should she spend so much money to marry her back?

When Zhou Qingli heard Wang Liniang's words, he clenched his fists tightly.

Although he wants to marry Wang Li and be with him, he is very aware of his family's financial conditions.

It is absolutely impossible for the family to come up with six hundred yuan.

He cannot force his family to borrow money from various places because of his personal affairs, which will make it difficult for the whole family to live in the future.

If Zhou Ran hadn't specifically warned him, He Chunhua would have scolded the Wang family for selling their daughter.

Thinking of her daughter's words, He Chunhua said, "Sure, six hundred is six hundred. Liliniang, our family has to pay this six hundred as a bride price, so we have to agree to marry this girl Lili to our family to celebrate the ceremony."

Zhou Qingli was immediately stunned, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

His mother actually agreed? Where did the family get so much money?

"Mom, can our family afford six hundred yuan?" Zhou Qingli couldn't help but remind her.

Six hundred yuan, not sixty yuan.
