“…”
When Zhang Xiaojuan heard this, she felt uncomfortable, but she did not leave. She had to hear what the Lin family had to say.
"Xiu, why don't you tell them to ask for less money?" Zhang's mother panicked when she heard that the plan was going to fail. "If it really doesn't work out, just do as we said before and do the same as everyone else in the village!"
It's not easy to find such a wealthy family. She is wrong. There is no such store in this village. Xiaojuan will hate her in the future.
Zhang's father also had a serious look on his face, and he was about to blame Zhang's mother for not discussing the dowry with him.
Seeing that the two were particularly anxious, Zhang Xiu said with a smug look on his face: "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you so anxious?"
"Then tell me quickly!" Zhang's mother urged.
Zhang Xiu curled his lips and smiled, "How can we not reach an agreement on my involvement? The Lin family has agreed to give me such a large amount of dowry."
When these words came out, Zhang's father and mother were stunned with excitement. "Agreed?"
In fact, they didn't originally expect the Lin family to give so much. Just like buying something, they always had to bargain for the price. The Lin family agreed to it, which surprised them.
How rich must the Lin family be to agree to such a high price for a dowry?
Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes at Zhang's mother and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished what I want to say yet."
This time, before Zhang's parents could say anything, she said, "The Lin family said they agree to give you the 66.66 yuan, but you can only take 30 yuan. The rest must be given to Xiaojuan. Xiaojuan can spend it however she wants. You have no right to interfere."
For Zhang Xiu, she didn't care who the money was given to, as long as the marriage could be successful. Anyway, no matter how much she gave, it would not reach him.
"What?"
Zhang's mother's originally happy smile suddenly fell, "I raised Xiaojuan to this age, was it all in vain?"
Xiaojuan actually got more than her, how could this be possible?
Hearing her say this, Zhang Xiu's face also fell, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, if you don't agree this time, I really won't care about this matter anymore."
Before Zhang's mother could say anything, Zhang's father said, "I'll make the decision on this matter. I agree."
He has rarely been in charge of the family in his life, but this time, he has to be the one to make the decision.
Although they can only get thirty yuan, the money is in Zhang Xiaojuan's hands. After all, isn't it still in his house?
Zhang's mother was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking it over, she came to her senses and nodded, saying, "Then let's do it this way! You pick a date, have a meal together, and set the date for the engagement."
The money is in Zhang Xiaojuan's hands, so she can get it back.
"At least you understand this time." Zhang Xiu's expression improved this time.
Zhang Xiaojuan, who was standing by, couldn't help herself any longer and said, "Auntie, please tell them that I don't want the thirty-six yuan, just give my parents thirty yuan."
Thirty yuan, it was too much money and she felt bad about it, but the matter had already been decided, and her parents would not give up even if she didn't give it to her. So, it was okay for her to not take the thirty-six, right?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Xiu said angrily.
They have promised to give me this money, how can I refuse it?
Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Xiaojuan and said, "You have no say in this matter."
Zhang Xiaojuan was about to say something when she was interrupted by Zhang Xiu, "You and your family can discuss it slowly. I'll go back first."
Rural people go to bed early. In their opinion, it is time to go to bed at around 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
Zhang's father was worried, so he followed her out and planned to send her back to the village.
