Moreover, Fifth Uncle is not a poor man; he must be wealthy.
So how many should I drive?
Seeing that Wu Qingfeng remained silent and her expression kept changing, Liu Chunfeng was clearly thinking about how much to open.
She then said, "Aunt Wu, you don't need to think too much. Just tell us how much you want. We can discuss it. After all, it's not easy for you to marry off your daughter."
Wu Qingfeng shuddered. Yes, this was all negotiable. If she asked for a higher price, and the other party thought it was too high, they could negotiate further.
But if I ask for too little and the other party agrees immediately, wouldn't I be at a loss?
Thinking of this.
She took a deep breath and said directly, "Aunt Liu, I won't beat around the bush. Someone took a liking to my girl before and offered a dowry of 50 yuan, but this stubborn girl refused to marry him no matter what, so we had to turn down the marriage."
"And now she's married to someone so much older than her, our family will definitely be the subject of much controversy and ridicule, so..."
"We'd like to ask for 80 yuan as a gift, is that too much to ask?"
Liu Chunfeng was immediately taken aback.
She thought the other party would ask for a high price, like three or two hundred or something.
As a result, the other party offered 80 yuan.
This was completely beyond her expectations.
after all.
An 80 yuan dowry would be very high, even astronomical, for most people, but for them, it's nothing.
but.
Although Liu Chunfeng felt the bride price was not high, she did not agree immediately.
Just as she was about to speak, Lei Shan said directly, "Aunt Wu, this bride price is not excessive, we agree to it!"
After all, for Leishan, this bride price is really not excessive, and is even a bit low.
So he agreed without hesitation.
"Huh? Uncle Lei, you've agreed? Is this for sure?" Wu Qingfeng was also taken aback. She was wondering how the other party would bargain and how she should try to negotiate.
In fact, her bottom line is 50 yuan.
As for what she just said about a marriage where the bride price was 50 yuan, that's baseless; she just said it to inflate the price.
As a result, while she was still thinking about how to bargain, the other party had already agreed.
This caught her completely off guard.
Did I ask for too low a price?
Before Lei Shan could say anything more, Liu Chunfeng pulled him aside, glared at him, and told him to shut up. Then she spoke up: "Aunt Wu, to be honest, this bride price is indeed a bit high. After all, the bride price is usually between 10 and 30 yuan now. 50 yuan is extremely rare. Anyway, I have never seen anyone in the countryside give such a high bride price."
"However, Uncle Wu and Chunxue have really had a tough time, so after thinking about it, we decided to agree to the 80 yuan dowry on Uncle Wu's behalf."
"Moreover, you can use this money to find a wife for the wealthy merchant."
"That would be a win-win situation for everyone, wouldn't you say?"
Upon hearing Liu Chunfeng's words, Wu Qingfeng knew that the matter was settled.
At the same time, the thought that she had just had of asking for a low price vanished. She was very excited, but she said aloud, "Then it's settled, 80 yuan as a bride price? We'll give you a four-piece bedding set in return. What do you think?"
As for the wedding three-piece set, she didn't specify how many legs it should have.
Even if she gets that, it won't go to their family; what she really wants now is the bride price.
After all, this betrothal gift was the real money given to their family.
not to mention.
She believed that if her fifth uncle really liked Chunxue, he would give it to her on his own initiative.
