When the villagers of Pingle Village heard this, they were all shocked.
As the Sixth Uncle walked among the crowd, he gave earnest advice:
"Fifty million a year? That's not a small sum. Even in Hong Kong, it's the level of a working emperor. Not just anybody can get it. Do you think capitalists run charity organizations?"
"Everyone, tell me, with such a high income, if you force Ayi to quit her job and break up with her boyfriend, would you be willing to do that if it were your daughter?"
There was a commotion, and everyone in the ancestral hall started talking again, saying all sorts of things.
Only Grandpa Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at Sixth Uncle with a cold look.
Sixth Uncle is not afraid of the clan leader. As the representative of the Hong Kong branch, no one can suppress his authority in the clan.
"Everyone should be considerate of others when doing things and speaking. Think about it, the young man from the Lin family has already shown goodwill.
We set up a canteen to provide free food and drink for the elderly in Pingle Village, and paid tuition for poor students. Even our ancestral hall has not fully achieved these two things. Isn’t it enough for him, an outsider, to achieve this?
Times are progressing. It's 2016 now. Don't try to control your people with the mentality that everyone comes first and you come second.
The younger members of the tribe have received an education and have seen the world, so they won't obey as easily as before."
Suddenly, Sixth Uncle's tone changed:
"So my idea is that our daughters from the Yin family can marry Lin men, but we can put forward our requirements, which is that it must be a grand and spectacular wedding.
Aren't the Lin family wealthy? Do you think they only have a few billion? From what I know, tens of billions isn't out of the question. They're not short of money.
If you want to marry our Pingle girl, then you should do it with great fanfare. It would be best if you could make a big splash in the capital and let everyone know.
It was the Shilou Lin family who asked us to marry their daughter off, not our Pingle daughter who was forced upon them. Our Pingle Village was the one that took a higher stance.
This way, we can have both face and substance. Ayi can marry in grand style, and our Yin family can gain face in front of everyone. This way, we can have the best of both worlds. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Wow~~~
Many people in the ancestral hall applauded. Everyone thought this was a good idea, and even felt that it was a way to suppress Shilou Village.
If you want to marry one of our Pingle girls, then you must welcome her with the highest etiquette and make it the most extravagant wedding in the country, so that everyone can see how precious Pingle girls are.
This move can even drive up prices.
In the future, when other Pingle women marry out of town, the ceremony cannot be simplified. This will benefit everyone.
People are selfish. As long as something is beneficial to them, they will of course tend to agree.
At this time, the Sixth Uncle looked at Yin Shengrong at the entrance of the ancestral hall and asked:
"Rongzi, do you think what Sixth Uncle said makes sense?"
Of course, Yin Shengrong strongly agreed. The more glorious his daughter's marriage was, the more honor it would bring not only to the family but also to him as the father-in-law.
"Okay, okay, Sixth Uncle, I agree with you, very much. If the young man from the Lin family wants to marry Ayi, he must show his attitude in a way that satisfies us, the Yin clan!"
"Well~well said~"
When the Yin family members heard this, even those who had opposed it before felt that this method was quite satisfying and could also save their face.
The Sixth Uncle looked at the clan leader Yin Jishui again:
"Brother, what do you think of the method I suggested?"
Yin Jishui knew that his cousin wanted to force the emperor to abdicate. Who wouldn't want to be the clan leader?
But it would be best if he agreed today, otherwise he would have no choice.
It was already difficult to deal with Yin Shengrong alone, and with the appearance of Sixth Uncle, one must be even more cautious.
If even the overseas clansmen in Hong Kong favor Yin Shengrong of Xinfengfang, then they will definitely become the majority, and he, the clan leader, will be the minority.
But as the current clan leader, how could he admit defeat so easily?
Grandpa Yin thought, since the Lin family uses money to buy people's hearts, then I will make the Lin family lose money. Isn't your Lin family said to be worth billions? Then it depends on whether you are bragging or not.
Thinking of this, Uncle Yin suddenly sat up straight, swept away his previous coldness, and said:
"If you want my consent as the clan leader, that's fine, but I have three conditions."
After Grandpa Yin said this, everyone quieted down, but everyone knew that this condition would probably be difficult.
Then Yin Agong straightened his clothes, gripped his crutch again, stood up, and walked among the people, giving people a full sense of oppression.
"Last May, a celebrity couple got married in China. One was from Qingdao and the other was from Hong Kong. You may have heard about this.
What they made public was that the wedding cost a full 200 million yuan.
Two actors can spend 200 million yuan on their wedding. Now the boss of Lingnan Hall is getting married, and he is marrying a girl from Pingle, so it certainly can't be too shabby.
If we can't even beat two actors, then where is the face of our Pingle Village? Where is the self-esteem of the billionaire Lin family?
So my first request was that I could agree to this marriage, but the wedding budget couldn't be less than 300 million.
The second requirement: The betrothal gift cannot be less than 88.88 million. This money is for Ayi, not because my grandfather is greedy.
The last request was that Lin make a set of rosewood living room chairs for our Yin family ancestral hall.
"It has to be the same size as the Lin family's ancestral hall. It must have at least a four-clawed golden dragon. Even one claw less is not acceptable. Doesn't that mean our Yin family is outshined by the Lin family?"
Boom~~~
As soon as the three demands were made, everyone was truly shocked.
A marriage requires nearly 90 million in betrothal gifts. This will definitely break the betrothal gift record in Huadu, right?
Not to mention the 300 million yuan wedding expenses, do you think Pingle girl is getting married like a princess?
What shocked everyone the most was that grandpa actually wanted a set of four-clawed golden dragon furniture. It was said that there were only a few sets of this kind in the Palace Museum, and it was not something that could be bought with money.
If these three conditions are met, the value will far exceed 1 billion.
Each member of the Yin clan covered their mouths in shock, thinking that the old clan leader was really cruel when he got angry.
Are Pingle women encrusted with diamonds? Does a wedding cost over 1 billion yuan?
I guess any man with a normal mind would not agree to this.
But then all the tribesmen who had daughters stood up one by one and shouted excitedly:
"Grandpa is right. If you want to marry a girl from Pingle, this betrothal gift is reasonable!"
"That's right. Our Pingle girl is from a decent family. How can she be inferior to an actor?"
One after another, the clan members stood up and strongly supported Grandpa, which instantly set the ancestral hall on fire. Everyone was talking excitedly, envious, and gossiping.
These people strongly support it, but in fact they also have strong selfish motives.
People in Huadu like to have children, and they often have several in their lifetime, so which family doesn’t have one or two daughters?
If the Lin family really agrees to this outrageous request, then the value of Pingle girls will soar to the sky, and all the daughters in Pingle Village will be doubled in the future.
If the betrothal gift today is 88 million, would 8 million be too much for you tomorrow?
If it's really too much, 800,000 will be fine. In short, the market price has been raised, and you must show your sincerity. This horror is comparable to that of a Jiangxi cousin.
Grandpa Yin couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw that most of the tribesmen agreed to his plan of sowing discord.
It would be best if the Lin family did not agree, then he, as the patriarch, could launch a counterattack.
Your Shilou Lin family boasts billions in assets, yet you're unwilling to even give out 1 billion. Where's your sincerity? Where's your sincerity? You don't really want to marry a Pingle girl.
I don’t agree to your marriage!
At this time, Yin Shengrong and his six brothers were sweating.
Just kidding, the Guangdong Rich Village is just a joke on the Internet. If every person is a billionaire, who would be willing to live in this urban village where even a fire truck can't drive?
Spending several million on a wedding is considered luxurious, but Uncle Yin’s condition is over 1 billion, or even 2 billion.
Yin Shengrong was thinking in his heart that if his youngest son wanted to get married in the future and asked for so much money as a betrothal gift, he would definitely break his son's legs.
Grandpa Yin asked expressionlessly:
"Shengrong, what do you think? Whether you agree to Grandpa's conditions or not, the initiative is in your hands. Don't blame Grandpa for being unkind when the time comes."
At this time, public opinion had reversed, and the six brothers Yin Shengrong were in a passive position.
The Yin family was in internal turmoil at a critical moment, and even Grandpa could not suppress it.
But at the same time, the people in Xinfengfang where Yin Shengrong is located are not necessarily united, and the main factor is the interests.
Yin Shengrong was already being roasted on the fire. He thought it would be strange if the Lin family agreed. With this money, it was more than enough to marry 1,000 Yue Nan wives.
"Grandpa, I understand. I will mention your three conditions to the young man of the Lin family."
Yin Shengrong was thinking that if the Lin family was unwilling to be suckered and pay so much money, the six brothers would pool their resources and come up with 100 million to provide for Lin Sanqi.
The six brothers could still clearly distinguish between one meal being full and another being full.
One hundred million can be earned back in less than a year.
Who knew that Grandpa Yin would not give Yin Shengrong a chance to cheat, he looked at his watch and said:
"It's only 9 o'clock in the evening. Young people won't go to bed so early. In front of all the clan members, you should call the young man from the Lin family right now and let all the members of the Yin family hear the sincerity of his Lin family."
"Grandpa is right~~~"
"Yes, we are all witnesses~~~"
"You're so rich, you wouldn't refuse such a small amount of money, right?~~~"
Ordinary people always follow others blindly, just like fence-sitters. Some of them follow others because their own interests are involved, while others just want to watch the fun and not get involved.
Yin Shengrong knew that he had to pass this hurdle. At this time, the gambling nature of the southerners also came out, and he bet that his son-in-law was willing to pay for his daughter.
The phone was dialed, beep beep... (End of this chapter)
