Xia Dong heard Chen Ning's first condition, which was to persuade Xia to find a formal job. She immediately nodded beside him: "This condition is good."
After hearing this, Xia's father and Xia's mother both had a great impression of Chen Ning.
Before today, they had always disliked the way Xia Xiang was idle all day long and not doing his job properly. They couldn't listen to Xia Xiang no matter what he said.
"Okay, I promise you."
Xia Xiang smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "But the bride price cannot be less."
Chen Ning was forced to get married, which was already aggrieved. If the wedding was too simple, it would not only expose Chen Ning to gossip, but also make people think that the Xia family is ignorant.
Before he was reborn, he already owned a group company worth tens of billions. Now that he was reborn, he would not be stumped by the gift money.
"Yes, yes, what Xia wants to say is right, you should give as much as the bride price."
Xia Guoxing nodded hurriedly. Although Chen Ning said he didn't want any gift, if they really didn't give it, they would be laughed at for the rest of their lives.
"Okay, let's give it one hundred and eighty-eight."
Xia Xiang thought about their family's situation, and Chen Ning knew it very well. This amount was within the range that the Xia family could afford.
"No, it's too little."
Xia Xiang shook his head and said decisively: "I think eight hundred and eighty-eight is very suitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was shocked and silent for a second.
"What, eight hundred and eighty-eight, Xia Xiang, isn't this kid crazy?"
"Even if people from the city get married, I'm afraid they won't need so much money."
"Xia Xiang, are you kidding?"
"What, is this kid talking nonsense?"
Those present were all acquaintances in the village, so of course they knew what was going on with the Xia family.
Let alone eight hundred and eighty-eight, even one hundred and eighty is a bit difficult to come up with.
When Xia Guoxing heard the number that Xia wanted to say, he almost dropped the pipe in his hand.
"Daughter, we will definitely find a way to get the bride price, and we will definitely not wrong you."
Xia wanted to raise it in front of so many people, and Xia Guoxing couldn't object in person, but the number was too scary, and he didn't dare to insist on it.
"Old lady, do you think it's time to prepare lunch? It's already this time."
Xia Guoxing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't dare to leave so many people here to watch the excitement. Otherwise, if Xia Xiang said something stupid again, he might not be able to get it right.
After sending away the spectators, Xia Guoxing asked Xia Dong to take Chen Ning to rest inside, while leaving Xia Xiang behind.
"Second brother, actually the gift of one hundred and eighty-eight is not too small..."
As soon as Xia Guoxing opened his mouth, Xia Xiang knew what he was worried about. He smiled and said, "Dad, although Chen Ning hasn't said anything about her family's situation, I can see from her usual clothes that her family is definitely not simple.
.”
"The eight hundred and eighty-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight betrothal gift is not to make someone look fat, but to show it to their family members."
When Xia Xiang said this, Xia Guoxing immediately understood what he meant.
If Chen Ning, a city girl, marries to a rural area, her family will definitely not be happy. If the bride price can make them feel decent, maybe Chen Ning's family will feel better.
After all, marriage is not a matter between two people, but a fusion between two families.
"You're right, I can't let you go to your mother-in-law's house and get looked down upon in the future. Don't worry, even if you sell it, I will help you get the money."
Xia Guoxing took a puff of dry cigarette, and his eyes showed a stubbornness in the smoke, which was exactly the same as Xia Xiang.
"Dad, what are you thinking about? I don't know the situation at home."
Xia Xiang's heart felt hot. He seemed to see his father in the smoke. When he said these words, his back was bent. He was burdened by responsibility.
Father as a mountain!
"Dad, I will find a way to deal with this money, so don't worry about it."
After he was reborn, he really didn't have to worry about how to make money. After all, any of the things in his mind could be exchanged for countless wealth.
"You solve it?"
"How do you solve it?"
Xia Guoxing looked at Xia Xiang with some worry, and said seriously: "Second brother, you are still young, so don't take risks!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't worry, I'm definitely following the right path."
Xia Xiang smiled bitterly. It seemed that before, it was really difficult for him to make his family believe in him.
Unless he can do something in the near future to change his family's inherent impression of him.
"What options do you have?"
Xia Guoxing asked suspiciously.
Xia Xiang turned his head and happened to see a beautiful pebble in the yard. He pointed at it and said, "Dad, if you see that pebble, that's my path."
A month ago, the central government just issued the "Several Provisions on Deepening Enterprise Reform and Enhancing Enterprise Vitality."
All over the country, people are singing that the spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere, vigorously developing the market economy, and the shackles of the planned economy have been completely opened.
This year is a year of comprehensive reform, and it is also a crucial year.
In Xia Xiang's previous life, a private entrepreneur once said a famous saying: As long as you stand on the wind, even a pig can take off.
And Xia Xiang was reborn in such a trend. He has decades of experience and methods from later generations. If he wants to sell iron at home even for the gift money, then he can find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Xia Xiang thought that if he remembered correctly, Linxian County had recently applied to establish a 5a-level scenic spot, and that scenic spot was less than 60 miles away from Dabai Township.
Xia Xiang's first pot of gold was his idea of this scenic spot.
Looking at the small pebble in his hand, Xia Xiang seemed to see the tickets in the tourists' pockets.
"Xia Xiang, come with me."
At this moment, Chen Ning's voice suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiang turned around and asked, but Chen Ning did not answer. Instead, he led Xia Xiang to the room with his eyes.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Ning began to take off his coat. Xia Xiang's face suddenly turned red and he quickly said: "Chen Ning, this is not good..."
"What's not good?"
Chen Ning asked in confusion while taking out a wad of money from the inner pocket of his pants.
"Here's seventy dollars for you!"
After Chen Ning put on her clothes, she seemed to realize that her action caused Xia Xiang's misunderstanding. Her face turned a little red, and she lowered her head and said, "I know you insist on giving such a high gift because of me, but your family
I also know the situation..."
Looking at the pile of neat and tidy bills handed over by Chen Ning, Xia Xiang felt warm in his heart. If he didn't marry such a good wife and mother, it would be a lifelong loss for him.
"Seventy yuan, you can save quite a lot!"
"But I can't ask for this money. I married the man and brought him home. If I want the money again, what will happen to me?"
