The impact of Su Tiantian's marriage on Guangming Road is that it has led to a significant increase in the bride price for many men getting married.
Of course, this was initially because the Wang family's dowry was too high, which gave the Su family a reason to argue.
Many people are now dissatisfied with the Su family, and also with the Wang family.
"What does this have to do with our family? Our family didn't spend much on dowry when our sons and daughters got married. At most, we gave fifty yuan. How can you attribute this to our family?"
Liu Lifang quit.
If her family could afford to marry a daughter-in-law who graduated from high school, was pretty, knew how to get along with people, and had a stable job for 300 yuan, then they would accept it.
Look at her daughter-in-law now, she's an illiterate village girl who never went to school. Her family is simply not happy about it.
"Don't blame everything on my family. My whole family is still suffering!"
"Look at this daughter-in-law, I'm dissatisfied with her in every way, and you're trying to extort me!"
"Do you think I, Liu Lifang, am someone you can easily bully?"
The Wang family paid several hundred yuan in betrothal gifts to get a wife so that she could have someone to take care of her son.
Her son, Wang Laoxiao, is lame. If someone else's son were also lame, and they spent over three hundred yuan to marry a wife to take care of him, and then pinned the blame on her, she would accept it.
"We went to the Fu family to ask for the three hundred yuan dowry we gave them back then."
"Now you're blaming me? It's clearly the Su family's own greed that led them to make exorbitant demands. What does it have to do with our family?"
“We didn’t spend this much money to get our son married.”
Liu Lifang stood at her doorstep, hands on her hips, cursing and scolding those who said it was all her family's fault for raising the bride price, causing everyone to spend so much money to get a daughter-in-law.
Chen Suwen sat on a stone bench by the roadside, munching on a cucumber while watching Liu Lifen engage in a heated debate with the scholars.
"Cunzhi's mom, aren't you worried? These days, every family spends several hundred yuan to get a wife. What will your family do when you get married?"
A woman sitting next to her, seeing how leisurely she was eating a cucumber, couldn't help but ask her a question.
The main reason is that they can't stand seeing Chen Suwen so relaxed. Why is it that when they are anxious about their sons not being able to find a wife, Chen Suwen can be so calm and composed?
Chen Suwen didn't even look up, and said in a calm tone, "What do I have to worry about? The only unmarried people in my family right now are Amin and a few little kids who are only a few years old."
"It will be twenty years before my son Ah Xian is old enough to get married."
Why should I worry about things that will happen twenty years from now?
Chen Suwen was indeed very calm. All three of her sons were married and had children, and her only grandson who needed to get married was only five or six years old.
She won't be able to get married for another twenty years, and by then the bride price will be much higher than three hundred yuan.
So what's there for her to be in such a hurry for?
If this brat can't earn enough money to get married in twenty years, what makes him think he can get married?
Are you suggesting that I marry a wife and have my elders support her?
Or should his wife support him?
Chen Suwen was not worried or anxious at all.
That's right.
The person who just asked her this question realized that Chen Suwen's family doesn't need to worry about getting married at all right now; there's no one in her family who wants to get married.
“Cunzhi’s mother is right. In your family, only Ah Xian needs to get married, and that will be another twenty years,” another person said, but his words were somewhat sarcastic.
“Cunzhi’s mother, you have three sons, but now you only have two grandsons. Isn’t that too few?”
"Oh dear, I forgot. Cunzhi's mother, your Cunming's child doesn't have the surname Zhou. To be precise, you only have one grandson."
"With so many workers in your household, you must be worried that Ah Xian won't be able to find a wife, right?"
The man spoke these sarcastic words, but the smile on his face was somewhat mocking.
Of course, while she envied Chen Suwen's family for living a good life, she also gloated that Chen Suwen's family only had one grandson.
As for the other Li Cong, he was surnamed Li, not Zhou, and was not a grandson of the Zhou family at all.
"Your family is going to be very lucky in the future. Four granddaughters, plus Amin, that makes five girls. When they get married, you can buy each of them for 388 yuan..."
"Wow, this is lucrative! Five girls getting married, that'll bring in at least two thousand yuan in dowry, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, they really made a killing."
Listening to what the other person said, Chen Suwen took the last bite of cucumber, then flung the cucumber's bottom at the other person's face.
"Hmm!"
The man tried to continue mocking and ridiculing Chen Suwen, but a cucumber butt hit her right in the mouth, swelling her lips.
"You want to make this money?" Chen Suwen clapped her hands, walked up to her, grabbed her collar, and asked, "You really want to make this money, don't you?"
“Actually, I can help you,” Chen Suwen said with a smile. “If your sons and grandsons can’t afford to get married, you can have their genitals cut off, then raise them as girls and they can get married.”
"So you can earn the bride price money this way, right?"
“I’ve done the math. You have two sons, four grandsons, and four granddaughters… So, your family can earn 3,888 yuan in dowry money.”
“If your family were a little more ambitious, you could become a family with ten thousand yuan in dowry money from your son and grandson.”
"My God, this is such a great deal!"
