“My mother had no intention of doing that, and you’re still arguing with her? Jia Ni, about the bride price, to be honest, I also think your family is asking for too much, if I gave your family a bride price of over 600,000 and they all came back with a dowry, I would be willing to give it.”
“But your parents said they would only give you a few new quilts and a motorbike, how much is that worth? Not even ten thousand.”
“The day your parents came, I heard your parents say in private that of the $660,000 dowry, $600,000 was divided equally between your two brothers, so that they could renovate their house in the countryside and buy a scooter if they had any money left over, while $60,000 was kept by your parents to spend on themselves, and only the $6,000 would be used to buy you a so-called dowry.”
Zhou Honglin admitted to being furious when he overheard Ye Jiani’s parents discussing how to spend the more than 600,000 yuan of dowry money.
He only had a total of about two million in family assets, and after dividing more than a million to Hai Ling, he only had a few hundred thousand yuan left, plus the kickbacks he had recently received, and hints that the material suppliers had sent him payments, was another million or so in his fortune.
But he couldn’t afford the Ye family’s lavish demands.
Inwardly, Ye Jiani also felt that her parents had gone too far.
The bride price was for her.
Her parents actually said that they would share it with her two brothers to decorate the house and buy a car, and only gave herself a few quilts and an electric car as dowry, which hurt her heart too much.
Usually her parents’ brother and sister-in-law seemed to treat her with love and affection. m.
Who would have thought that her parents’ faces would show when she was about to get married.
They said they loved her the most, but they wanted to use her value to help their two brothers and make their lives a little better.
But being complained about by Zhou Honglin, Ye Jiani instinctively defended her parents again.
“My parents gave birth to me and raised me so much, and put me through school, it was not easy, and spent a lot of money, the bride price they are asking for now is just a way to repay them for the kindness they gave me. The money goes to my parents and it’s up to them to arrange it however they like. Besides, where we come from, the more the bride price the man gives, the more he loves the woman and is willing to give his all for her.”
Zhou Honglin said to her, “The money I earn is for you to live a good life, not for your two brothers to enjoy. Think about it, if you meet your parents’ demands, our life after marriage will have to be greatly reduced.”
“What if your parents come back to suck the blood out of us after the wedding? Your two brothers will have their house renovated and then buy a car, and when the money is spent, they might find all kinds of excuses to ask us for money.”
“After they come here once, they think the city is prosperous and want to come and live in the city too, whether they buy or rent a house, they might come to us and ask us to pay for it.”
Zhou Honglin is very fond of Ye Jiani, spoiling her, hating her heart and soul, but still somewhat sensible.
Ye family parents that is wanting Ye Jiani to become a Fu Ge demon.
“My family used to be not too well off, in order to pay for me to go to university, my two brothers both went to work early to earn money for me to go to university, they also suffered a lot, they are also kind to me as a sister, consider it as a reward for them.”
“We both earn so much, even if we rent a house for them to live in, we can still afford it, and it won’t lower our living conditions after marriage.”
Zhou Honglin: “…… Don’t you think the old boss is now looking at both of us in a bad light? I feel like we’re both dry for a short time.”
Leaving Weihao Electronics, the two of them may not be able to earn as much as they do now.
“I’ll have a good talk with my mother when I get home and tell her not to keep running to Hailing about how we’re both doing, people are just waiting to see the joke. You should talk to your parents about reducing the bride price, give a bride price of 188,000, the reduced money we use to decorate our wedding house, doesn’t it smell good?”
