"Xiaohe's mother, don't be in such a hurry!"
A dowry of 1,000 yuan is indeed a bit much.
It's not that I don't understand your thoughts; it's all for the sake of the child.
But we still need to build new houses for our children, and that will cost a lot.
"How about we discuss this again?"
Pan Cuilian quickly stood up and stopped the mother and daughter.
"Xiaohe's mother, the problems you're worried about regarding your two sons' marriage and education are actually not a big deal at all."
Once Xiaohe marries into the Yu family, she will be our daughter-in-law.
She is also a member of our Yu family; her relatives are our relatives.
If the two children need help then, we definitely won't stand idly by; we'll certainly lend a hand.
Yu Dazhu also stood up and spoke.
"Mom, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu have already said so, so please don't go too far."
My brother-in-law is right. Who asks for a dowry of a thousand yuan?
If you really took that much money, how will your daughter face the world afterward?
I think Ping An is a very honest and reliable man; I'm not after their high dowry.
Hao Xiaohe's reasonable words instantly earned her another wave of goodwill.
Seeing the admiring glances from the Yu family elders and the surprised look in Yu Ping'an's eyes, she knew in her heart that this honest and simple man's fondness for her had increased again.
However, she wasn't trying to save the Yu family money; she simply couldn't wait any longer.
She couldn't let her greedy mother ruin her good deeds and plans.
Yu Chengyuan narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: It seems that Hao Xiaohe is not simple!
By feigning retreat and saying a few nice words at crucial moments, she makes everyone think she is a reasonable and understanding girl. This tactic is quite sophisticated!
"Xiaohe, you are really understanding."
Sister-in-law, listen to this, your Xiaohe is much more sensible than you.
Now is the time when Cuiping's family needs money, so you can't back down.
Besides, their business is getting better and better, and if they really have the ability in the future, they will definitely help your family.
What are you afraid of?
Even though Xiaohe is married, she won't truly abandon you two.
Hao Qiumei continued to persuade her from the side.
"Well... since you've all put it that way, I'll take a step back."
"Then how about two hundred less, eight hundred?"
Thinking about the future, Xiaohe's mother agreed to compromise.
Eight hundred yuan is too much; the Yu family definitely won't agree to it.
She was determined to get the Yu family to finalize the marriage today, no matter what.
"Mom, eight hundred is too much. Ping An's family has it tough too."
Could you give me a smaller amount, please?
Hao Xiaohe continued to plead with her mother.
The elderly couple in the Yu family were even more impressed with Hao Xiaohe.
This girl is pretty good!
"Then it's six hundred yuan, no less!"
Xiaohe's mother thought for a moment and nodded.
At worst, when my daughter is in charge of the household, I can have her secretly send money home every month.
It was all done without anyone noticing!
"Mom, a smaller amount, five hundred, okay?"
"Just five hundred, Mother... I beg you!"
Hao Xiaohe continued to act coquettishly.
"Okay, five hundred it is, but no less."
"You brat, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders."
Xiaohe's mother nodded in agreement and then turned to Dazhu and his wife.
"Young lady, my Xiaohe has taken a liking to your Ping An, which is why I gave in."
But you can't have any less."
"Xiaohe's mother, just five hundred."
Let's discuss this and pick an auspicious day. I'll have Ping An personally deliver the betrothal gifts.
Pan Cuilian nodded happily.
Although 500 is not a small amount, the girl is very nice, so it's worth it.
They can afford to pay 500 yuan.
Yu Chengyuan remained silent, knowing that nothing he said would make a difference at this point.
Her parents were clearly very satisfied with Hao Xiaohe.
Even the eldest brother, Yu Ping'an, was moved by Hao Xiaohe.
The two families eventually agreed that the fifth day of next month would be an auspicious day for weddings, engagements, and moving.
Fortunately, he still had a week to investigate Hao Xiaohe.
When they left, her mother gave Xiaohe's mother and the village chief's wife each a five-yuan red envelope, while Hao Xiaohe received a ten-yuan red envelope.
