After talking about Tonghua for such a long time, Zhang Guiying knew that she would not get any more money if she continued.
I had to hang up the phone reluctantly.
It was obvious that her son-in-law was a rich man, and 500,000 yuan was only a few months' salary for him. Zhang Guiying was still unwilling to accept that she had such a big piece of fat meat in front of her, but she couldn't bite it.
She walked out of the room and felt very angry when she saw Tong's father sitting on the sofa and drinking.
Pointing at Tong's father's nose, he started to scold him: "Drink, drink, drink. All you do all day is drink. Your son is getting married, and the betrothal money and house payment haven't been settled yet, and you still have the mood to sit here and drink!"
Tong's father still looked unconvinced and instead advised her: "It's obvious that they don't like us and don't want to marry their daughter to us. We can't afford so much money, so why do we have to rush to become relatives?"
"We can't afford it, but your precious daughter does. She married a rich man, but she refused to give some money to help her brother. It's really a waste to raise her."
"Tonghua is already married, can't we just let them live their lives peacefully? Why do you have to separate them to feel at ease? They shouldn't even be asked to pay for our son's wedding."
"I didn't say they have to pay, but Tonghua is getting married, so what's wrong with asking the man's family for a little gift? Isn't that normal? Go ask the neighbors, which family doesn't ask for a gift when their daughter gets married? Instead, they just give money without a wedding banquet?"
Zhang Guiying grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "A while ago, Mrs. Li was asking why I hadn't seen Tonghua in a while. I didn't even dare to tell her she was married. I just said she moved out to work. If I had said she was married, she would have definitely asked what the man's family does, how much the betrothal gift is, and when the wedding banquet will be held. Your daughter doesn't have any of these things, so how can I tell them?"
This question left Tong's father speechless.
The custom here is that a dowry is required when a daughter gets married. The amount doesn't matter, even if it's just for the formalities.
But who knew that Tonghua got married without any announcement, and he didn't see his son-in-law when he went to the company to find her.
Now that so much time has passed, he feels it is difficult to ask his son-in-law for a dowry.
Seeing that Tong's father was speechless because of her words, Zhang Guiying took the opportunity to complain about him.
"You don't care about this family. Last time I asked you to discuss the betrothal gift with your son-in-law, but you felt you couldn't bring yourself to do it. Now I came forward to discuss this matter, but your precious daughter stopped me and wouldn't let me go to him. Now my son is getting married, and the family has no money at all. What do you think we should do?"
Tong's father continued to remain silent, looking at the corner of the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that Tong's father was indifferent again, Zhang Guiying snatched his cell phone.
She opened Tong's father's WeChat and saw that Tonghua had transferred some money to her father.
50,000 yuan
Zhang Guiying transferred the money to her phone without hesitation, complaining, "With just this little money, it's not enough for my son's wedding. You don't care about it, and my son's wedding needs so much money. Now I can only sacrifice my reputation and ask my in-laws if they can wait a few more days."
After she transferred the money, she called Zhang Xinyue's parents.
After giving a general account of their family's current situation, she begged and pleaded that she had no intention of going back on her word, but just wanted Zhang Xinyue's parents to wait for a while.
She thought the other party would not agree to her request, but she didn't expect Zhang Xinyue's parents to agree immediately.
Completely different from the aggressive look before.
This made her overjoyed and she thanked the other party profusely.
However, Zhang Xinyue's parents also said that since they were discussing a marriage after all, they should wait until the weekend, book a private room, and have the two families get together for a meal to discuss the marriage of their son and daughter.
They knew that Zhengyuan had a sister and brother-in-law, so they specifically emphasized that Qin Zun and Tonghua should also be present.
Zhang Guiying agreed readily and said that this was not a problem.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guiying took out her cell phone and wanted to call Tonghua, but then she remembered that she had just had a conflict with Tonghua, and if she called now, she might not answer the call.
Let's wait a few days and ask Tonghua to come over for dinner.
Tonghua, who received the call, said: "You guys are discussing the marriage, why should Qin Zun and I go there?"
Tonghua doesn't want to get involved in these things now. Don't get involved in things that you shouldn't get involved in. Once you get involved in some things, you can't get away from them.
Zhang Guiying advised her: "They also have good intentions. They think that you are about to get married and become a family. It would be embarrassing if one day they walked on the street and couldn't even recognize their elder sister-in-law."
Tonghua replied, "Qin Zun is very busy with work and can't spare the time. Even the last time he came back to my parents' home with me, he had to find time with great difficulty."
Zhang Guiying started playing the family card again: "Even if he's not available, you still have to go. They said they'll let you go. You know your brother's marriage isn't easy. What if you don't go this time and they think our family doesn't value them enough? Wouldn't that be difficult for us later? Don't forget, we still have to beg them to marry their daughter into our family."
Tonghua rubbed her forehead with a headache and asked helplessly, "Qin Zun is really busy with work and can't spare the time. This time I'm going alone. When and where have they set the time and place?"
The last time she let Qin Zun go to her house, her stepmother started to keep an eye on him, thinking that he was a rich man and wanted to get some money from him.
This time the two families were discussing the marriage, and she didn't want to bother Qin Zun again, as it was none of his business.
"This weekend, the location hasn't been decided yet. I'll have your dad tell you when it's decided."
"Um."
