Chapter 315: Jiang Family’s Dowry



Yuzhou.

XX Life Supermarket.

Hearing Pang Zongming's question, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I wouldn't say the real person is exactly the same as the photo, but the difference is really small, because this is the photo I asked her to take, and I specifically told her not to use beauty filters."

Pang Zongming nodded secretly. He is 29 years old this year. His parents started urging him to get married several years ago. Especially in the past two or three years, his parents not only urged him to get married, but also asked matchmakers to introduce several candidates to him.

He originally didn't want to go on a blind date, but his parents took turns persuading him and vowed that he should just go and take a look. If he was satisfied, he could look around. If he was not satisfied, they would not force him.

After his parents said this, Pang Zongming really had no way to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and went on several blind dates.

However, the matchmaker hired by the parents was not very reliable. Before they met, he praised the girl to be so outstanding. But when they met, he said that she was terrible, which might be a bit exaggerated, but there was indeed no overall condition that he liked.

However, a neighbor lady introduced him to a very outstanding girl. Unfortunately, he fell in love with her, but she didn't like him, so he had no choice but to give up.

Pang Zongming felt that the introduction of the matchmaker Jiang was quite reliable, so he continued to ask, "Matchmaker Jiang, what is the situation of this girl's family?"

"Her family is a super big family..." Jiang Feng did not hide anything and described Deng Jiujiu's family situation in detail.

The more Pang Zongming listened, the more surprised he was, and his mouth remained open the entire time.

After introducing Deng Jiujiu's family situation, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Actually, after you marry her, you will have more relatives. It won't have much impact on other things."

Pang Zongming's mouth twitched when he heard this. These relatives were not just a few, but too many to be scary. He couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Matchmaker Jiang, this girl should not be the legendary brother-supporting demon, right?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Boss, you can rest assured about this. If her family had more boys than girls, the family burden would indeed be heavier than you can imagine. But her family has more girls than boys, so it's completely different. You should understand this."

Pang Zongming was nearly thirty years old, so he naturally understood what Jiang Feng meant and admitted that what he said made sense. Without any concerns in this regard, he began to seriously consider whether it was appropriate for him to be with such a girl.

First of all, a girl from such a family must be hard-working and definitely does not have the temper of a spoiled daughter. She is also relatively content with her marriage and will not be too ambitious. She can easily handle all kinds of housework and childcare, allowing the man to work hard outside with peace of mind.

If you observe carefully, you will find that most of these girls are loyal to their husbands. As long as you are not too harsh on her, she will never think about divorcing you.

Unlike some women who always talk about divorce and say goodbye to you as soon as life goes wrong.

The more he wanted to pamper Zong Ming, the more he felt that this girl was really suitable for him, and he immediately said, "Matchmaker Jiang, I am quite interested in the girl you introduced."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Since you are interested, I will arrange a meeting for you in the afternoon, okay?"

This was not the first time Pang Zongming had a blind date. Hearing this, he replied, "Okay, then I'll book a restaurant. I wonder what time she gets off work?"

Jiang Feng said: "She works the early shift today and will get off work at five in the afternoon."

"Then let's set dinner time at six?"

"Can."

"There's a specialty restaurant nearby. It's okay for us to eat there this afternoon!"

"No problem, boss, just make the arrangements."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Next, the two exchanged contact numbers before Jiang Feng drove away.

Tongzhou County.

Dragon Tiger Hotpot Restaurant.

"Jiu Liu, this mutton roll is delicious, eat more."

"Ling Ling, this duck blood is quite hot to eat, wait until it cools down a bit before eating it."

"Jiu Liu, these beef balls are made from fresh beef, you can eat them with confidence."

"Ling Ling, you like to eat tripe, don't you? The tripe is cooked seven times and eight times, and it takes about fifteen seconds in total. The tripe cooked this way will be very refreshing and delicious."

"Ninety-six..."

“Zero…”

Jiang San looked at his two sons' attentiveness and knew what was going on. He quickly filled his stomach and let the Deng sisters eat slowly. Then he walked out of the box, found a deserted place, and called Master Jiang.

As soon as the call was connected, the two sides greeted each other politely, and Jiang San went straight to the point: "Master Jiang, this is the case. After a few days of getting along, my two sons are very satisfied with the Deng sisters, so I want to discuss the betrothal gift with you, Master Jiang. I wonder how much is appropriate for the betrothal gift?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Boss Jiang, please wait a moment. I will discuss this with the girl's parents and ask for their opinions. I will call you when I have a result."

Jiang Sanying said: "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

Yong'an Village, Taiping Town, Xin'an County.

Deng Da sat at the door of his house, smoking a hookah. His mood now was completely different from what he had been feeling a week ago.

A week ago, with the guidance of the matchmaker "Aunt Li", Deng Da went to the provincial capital to ask the famous Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker for his children. The result really surprised him.

Now, through the introduction of Master Jiang, his second and fifth sons have started dating the Jiang brothers, and the other party's family background is so good that he can't believe it.

In the morning, the third brother also called back and told him that Master Jiang had found a blind date for her, and she would quit her job tomorrow and come back to prepare for the blind date.

Everything went extremely smoothly, which made Deng Da really happy from the bottom of his heart.

He is already 78 years old this year, and it is unknown how many years he has left to live. Given the number of children he has, it is normally impossible for him to see all of them get married.

His original wish was to see one third of his children get married during his lifetime, but now with Master Jiang as the matchmaker, Deng Da couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Perhaps he could live to see all his children get married?

Just as Deng Da was smoking and daydreaming, his old cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was Master Jiang calling. He couldn't help but perk up.

As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Feng's voice came over, "Mr. Deng, have you had lunch?"

Deng Da replied with a smile on his face: "I have eaten. Master Jiang, have you eaten?"

“I’ve eaten it too!”

The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Master Jiang got down to business: "Mr. Deng, the two Jiang brothers get along very well with your second and fifth brothers. They like each other very much. You should know this, right?"

Deng said happily, "I know. They all told me that this is all thanks to you, Master Jiang. If you hadn't introduced them, they would never have found someone with such good conditions in their lifetime."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, you don't have to be polite. Your two daughters are so outstanding. Boss Jiang called me just now and mentioned the issue of the bride price. I called you just to discuss the bride price for your two daughters."

Deng Da asked back, "Master Jiang, how much do you think is a suitable amount of betrothal gift for me?"

The bride price must be collected, which is a marriage custom that has been passed down in China for thousands of years.

However, the specific amount of the bride price is more particular. If it is too little, it will be embarrassing, but if it is too much, it will be like selling your daughter. Most people do not understand how to strike a balance between the two. Only the matchmaker who helps to make the connection knows how much bride price is in line with the current market conditions.

Jiang Feng said: "According to the market conditions here, the general price of betrothal gifts is between 30,000 and 100,000. Of course, there are also lower or higher prices, but they are relatively rare."

Deng Da thought for a moment and said, "Master Jiang, I have no objection to the amount of the betrothal gift. As long as my two daughters can live happily, I will be satisfied. Just let the Jiang family decide on the betrothal gift."

Jiang Feng secretly praised him and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's do this for now. I'll call Boss Jiang to discuss the gift. I'll talk to you, Boss Deng, once we've finalized the amount."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Jiang."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. I'll hang up now. Bye."

"Well, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng called Boss Jiang without stopping.

As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Feng said directly: "Boss Jiang, I have just called the girl's family to discuss the issue of the bride price. The girl's family only hopes that their two daughters can live happily. They don't have any requirements for the bride price. Just let your Jiang family decide on the amount."

Jiang San pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Jiang, how much do you think is a suitable amount for the bride price?"

Jiang Feng said: "According to the current price of betrothal gifts here, it is usually between 30,000 and 100,000. There are also some that are lower or higher than this number. It depends on the family conditions."

Jiang San thought about it carefully and said, "Master Jiang, I'll give 180,000 for one and 360,000 for two. Do you think this amount is okay?"

There are two reasons for this number:

First, the Jiang family is not said to be well off, but they have tens of millions in savings, which is better than many families. It is obviously inappropriate to give too little in terms of the bride price, which must be higher than the ordinary standard.

Second, his two sons marrying other people's daughters is bound to cause a sensation, and the bride price will definitely be discussed at that time. Therefore, the bride price cannot be too small, otherwise he will definitely be accused of being stingy.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course, this betrothal gift is not worse than those in big cities. It will allow them to marry in style and make their parents' hard work in raising them worthwhile."

"Master Lian Jiang, you agree, so it's settled then."

"Well, since you, Boss Jiang, have already discussed the betrothal gift, I will arrange for 'housekeeping' tomorrow and then let them get married as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Sure, Master Jiang, you can do whatever you want. We have no objection."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
