Jiang Weian listened to Jiang Hongjiao's words, finally closed his eyes, sighed, and finally looked at Jiang Weijia. He stiffened his neck and his face flushed red.
"Brother, I have a favor to ask you." Jiang Weian said.
"Wei'an, you go ahead." Jiang Weijia looked at his younger brother. Jiang Wei'an was a taciturn person. He basically did things silently and seldom spoke out. He also seldom asked him for help. Now, after hearing what Jiang Weian said, Jiang Weijia stopped in his tracks.
"Brother, I want... I want to borrow some money from you. When Hongjiao gets married, it will definitely cost a lot of money. We can't let the Yan family pay for it all, for fear that Hongjiao will have a hard time." Jiang Weian said.
"Tell me a number and I'll see if I have it." Jiang Weijia spoke after listening to Jiang Weian's words.
His salary passbook is now kept by his wife, but every month she will leave him some change. He doesn't spend much, so he has saved a lot of money. If Jiang Weian wants two or three hundred, he still has some.
To hold a wedding, you can do a good job with just a few hundred dollars if you don't want to be extravagant. You can invite your neighbors and close relatives to have a meal, drink some wine, and share in the joyous atmosphere.
After listening to Jiang Weijia's words, Jiang Weian lowered his eyes and finally blurted out a few words.
"Five thousand..." Jiang Weian said.
"Five...five thousand?" Jiang Weijia was stunned when he heard the number Jiang Weian said. He and Su Yuelan have good jobs now, but their monthly salary is not that high. In addition, they need money for food and clothing. They have also often helped Su Weian's family over the years, so they don't actually save much money.
The family's total assets are only 7,000 yuan, not enough to make a millionaire. A lot of this 7,000 yuan is because Su Yuean made money from his business outside this time, and he said it was a dividend to their family.
Now their Xia Xia wants to discuss marriage with the Lu family. The Lu family has given a betrothal gift and has been so thoughtful in every aspect, so their family must also pay money and prepare a dowry for their daughter.
He is planning to save all this money for his daughter as a dowry, and Xia Xia's grandparents will also add a little, so it will be almost done.
Anyway, both he and his wife have formal jobs, so they just need to keep some money on hand. Their salary will be paid next month, and they will be able to make ends meet.
But now Jiang Weian wanted to borrow money, and the amount he asked for was so high, directly five thousand yuan.
Five thousand yuan can buy a refrigerator and a TV.
"This..." Jiang Weijia frowned and was about to refuse.
"Wei Jia, this is your own brother. Wei An has never asked you for anything, right? This is the first time Wei An asks you as his brother! It's not like I won't pay you back after lending you the money." Old Mrs. Jiang said.
"Yes, we are all doing this for our children. Jiaojiao just got started with Yan Shaojun from the Yan family on a blind date. If they are a good match, they'll talk about marriage. The Yan family is willing to give a betrothal gift of two thousand yuan, and they also want to buy a TV and a radio. So shouldn't our Hongjiao also have to give something as a dowry?" Feng Changdi spoke, looking a little embarrassed.
"Brother, you also know our family's situation. We have a lot of responsibilities. We have two children, and my wife and I don't earn much. When the time comes, Jinbao will have to get married. Brother, your family is different. We only have Xia Xia, and she's a girl, so we don't need money."
