"bride price?"
Shen Anan was stunned for a moment.
What is the bride price?
The next moment, I finally understood.
So her mother came here to ask so many questions and talked for a long time, just for the Huo family's betrothal money? !
“No gift.”
She is telling the truth.
I haven't thought about this myself.
She married Huo Rufeng so that she wouldn't have to go to the countryside, not because the two families felt they were a good match and that's when the idea of dowry and bride price came into being.
To put it bluntly, she did not bring any benefits to the Huo family after marrying into the family. In the eyes of many people, she was even a burden to the Huo family. What qualifications did she have to ask for a dowry?
Moreover, her mother had the nerve to say that she wanted to hand over the betrothal gift?
"No betrothal gift? How is that possible? The Huo family is so rich, how could they not even give a betrothal gift?"
Liu Cailan stared.
When she got married, at least the Shen family gave her some food as a betrothal gift. Why didn't the Huo family give her a penny? !
"Why do you think they should give me a betrothal gift? Did my family give me a dowry?"
Shen Anan was speechless for a while.
Liu Cailan grabbed her hand and used her strength.
"There's no such thing as a dowry or not. Our family is so poor, the Huo family can understand, right? What's wrong with not giving a dowry?
An An, mom is an experienced person, so there’s nothing I don’t know better than you. If someone doesn't give you a dowry, it means they look down on you. Who knows what tricks your parents-in-law will use against you in the future!
The most important thing for a woman in her husband’s family is her status! How much dowry you take proves how important your position is in your husband’s family! ”
As she spoke, Liu Cailan’s grip on Shen Anan’s arm became stronger and stronger.
It was as if it was about to be cut off abruptly.
"Anyway, I don't have any betrothal gifts, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you! Do you really think I have a bad memory? You just said that to me at the supply and marketing cooperative a while ago!
Do you consider me your daughter? All the good things belong to Shen Xiuxiu, and all the bad things belong to me, Shen Anan!
Chen Yaozu is transferring to a technical secondary school and is short of money. What do you want to talk to me about? Go find your biological daughter! I have no money! There is no dowry for you to ask for! ”
Shen Anan finished speaking and pried open her mother's hands.
I originally wanted to talk to them about the wedding banquet, but now it seems unnecessary.
If she really goes, her mother might even make a fuss about the bride price!
"Chen Anan, how can you talk like that? I'm your mother! I've raised you for eighteen years, and you owe our Shen family so much that we can't even count it!
Your brother just wants to transfer to a technical secondary school. It only costs 130 yuan, and you ask your in-laws to help pay for it. Is that difficult? !
That's your brother! After so many years of brother-sister relationship, you are not willing to help? ”
Liu Cailan yelled.
Some passers-by looked sideways.
Shen Anan didn't want to argue about these trivial matters with her mother here, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Who knew that Liu Cailan suddenly pulled her hand back with force.
Shen Anan, who didn't pay attention, leaned back and almost fell to the ground.
After she managed to stand firmly, she turned around to meet her mother's resentful eyes.
"What do you want to do? I don't have any money to give you, and the Huo family doesn't owe you anything!"
Her eyes were red.
It's a grievance and also a pain.
"The Huo family married you, and I raised you, so you owe me everything. Why don't you give me a betrothal gift? This is unacceptable no matter how you put it!"
Liu Cailan shouted even louder.
"Chen An'an, he's your brother and you don't even help him, so why are you asking me what I want?
Your father and I work so hard, can't you see that? Xiuxiu hasn’t received her salary yet, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to see you!
You go and ask the Huo family for a betrothal gift, or I will ask for it for you. Use this money to transfer your brother to a technical secondary school. He will definitely remember your kindness when he graduates. How come you don’t understand at all?
If you are bullied at your husband's house in the future, won't you, your younger brother, have to support you? ”
Liu Cailan seemed to be speaking earnestly, but her eyes seemed to wish she could eat Shen Anan alive.
She still helps her brother from time to time. How old is Shen Anan? She is not willing to help with such a small matter?
As an older sister, don’t you rely on your younger brother to become successful so that he can support you throughout your life?
Or rely on your man?
Your man is the son of your parents-in-law. Will he help you? When something happens, he will only help his own parents! You are just an outsider who married in!
Shen Anan just remained silent.
She already knew very well that her mother was not a reasonable person.
No matter how much you say, you can't change the other person's mind.
"Why don't you say anything? Speak up! What's wrong with what I said? You will understand my good intentions in the future!
An An, you must ask the Huo family for the betrothal money! Whether your brother can be assigned a job in the future depends entirely on you!
Your brother is good, so you can be a good sister, do you know that? ”
Liu Cailan was breathing heavily.
Seeing that Shen Anan didn't say anything, he assumed that she had heard it.
His attitude suddenly softened a lot.
"Mom promises you that, apart from the money for your brother to transfer to a technical secondary school, I will save the rest for you. If you need it later, just tell me. Okay?"
It seems like they are discussing something.
But Shen Anan was not given any chance to refuse.
If she refuses, it means Shen Anan owes the Shen family, and she has to pay the money even if she doesn't want to!
Shen Anan didn't want to talk to her mother anymore.
The passing eyes seemed to be scrutinizing her, making her want to escape quickly.
While her mother was still talking to herself, Shen Anan quickly turned around and ran away.
She was much more familiar with this place than Liu Cailan. After just a few turns through a few alleys, Liu Cailan lost her.
