Chapter 707: Marrying or Selling a Daughter
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Fan Yumeng's parents met Ji Ziang's family.
Of course, Ji Yuanyuan is not included in the family.
She had already finished her confinement and originally wanted to go.
After all, it was Ji Ziang's big day, and it felt a bit regrettable that she, as his younger sister, didn't show up.
However, to be on the safe side, Cheng Shuqin planned to let her stay in confinement until the day school started.
What's more, it's winter now. If you go out right after the confinement period, you will suffer if you get caught in the wind.
There was no other way, Ji Yuanyuan could only stay at home obediently.
Fortunately, this was just a meeting between the parents of both parties, and she would have the chance to be present at the engagement and wedding in the future.
Ji Yuanyuan had a good impression of her second sister-in-law, so she had already started thinking about the two of them getting married.
Fan Yumeng has a younger brother who came with them and looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Is this Yu Meng's younger brother? Did he ask for leave from school today?" Zhang Kun asked while greeting the other party.
Mr. Fan is a little thin, not very tall, and looks a bit shrewd.
He glanced at his son and said, "He has also been admitted to City B. He is studying at City B University of Science and Technology. He has no classes at noon today."
Zhang Kun heard this and said very politely: "It's good, the University of Science and Technology is not bad."
Father Fan smiled and said, "It's good, better than Yumeng's university."
While speaking, he even glanced at Ji Ziang.
The smile on Zhang Kun's lips froze for a moment.
He understood that this meant that the son of the Fan family was more capable than Ji Ziang.
They all knew that Fan Yumeng and Ji Ziang were in the same school.
Although he understood, Zhang Kun did not fight back.
When young people get married, they have less contact with their parents.
Ji Ziang lives with Fan Yumeng, not with his father-in-law.
As long as it looks okay on the surface.
Fan Yumeng also understood, and tugged at her father's sleeve awkwardly, whispering, "Dad, why are you talking about this?"
Father Fan smiled and said, "I'm glad to see Ziang's parents, so I can't help but say a few more words."
Li Xu saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and quickly looked at Fan Yumeng's mother: "I like Yumeng very much. I met her once at school before, and I felt that I had a connection with her."
Fan Yumeng's mother was a very gentle person and she praised Ji Ziang to Li Xu.
The atmosphere soon eased. Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei were also there. They sat quietly beside them and only answered a few words when asked.
After all, this is not their home ground, so it is better for them to say less.
Otherwise, it would leave an impression of being difficult to talk to on Ji Ziang's future father-in-law and mother-in-law, which would be bad.
After the dishes were served and everyone got a little more familiar with each other, the topic turned to the couple's marriage.
"Please feel free to ask for anything you want. His father and I will definitely do our best to fulfill our requests. His father and I will make sure that both of our children's engagement parties and weddings are grand and we will never let them down." Li Xu expressed.
"We are not from the same place, so there must be differences in our customs..." Mother Fan hesitated to speak.
Li Xu understood what she meant and said immediately, "It doesn't matter. It's OK to follow your customs for the betrothal gifts and so on."
When Mr. Fan heard this, he immediately slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "That's right. Generally speaking, the bride price is based on the woman's rules. Since you have no objection, then we'll follow our rules. We don't ask for too much, one million will be enough."
Li Xu and Zhang Kun were both stunned when they heard this.
Although they could afford one million and were willing to pay, the tone of the Fan family...
Moreover, when Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei got married, they didn’t give so much.
But it’s easy to handle. I can just quietly make up for it to Weiwei when the time comes.
Li Xu quickly came back to her senses and said with a smile, "That's no problem."
Ji Ziang frowned suddenly and turned his head to look at Fan Yumeng.
Fan Yumeng just lowered his head and said nothing.
Father Fan and Mother Fan looked at each other calmly, and then said, "Also, the wedding house must be bought within the Second Ring Road and written in our Yu Meng's name."
The smiles on Li Xu and Zhang Kun's faces began to fade, and neither of them spoke.
Father Fan continued to talk to himself: "We also have a car. Although Ziang can't drive now, our Yumeng can drive. With a car, it will be convenient to pick up Ziang in the future."
Ji Ziang has a driver's license, but after driving a race car for so long, he sometimes feels dazed when driving on the road.
Sometimes I forget that I am on the road and think I am on the field.
So for safety reasons, Ji Ziang no longer drives when he travels.
Either take a taxi or ask your family to pick you up.
"Well..." Li Xu forced a smile: "In fact, we prepared a wedding house for Ziang a few years ago. We can move in after some decoration. As for the car, we must buy it."
"That won't work. The house was bought before the marriage and has nothing to do with Yu Meng. You have to buy one and put it in Yu Meng's name." Fan's father retorted.
Seeing this, Mother Fan tugged at Father Fan’s sleeve and said, “Don’t be so aggressive when you speak.”
Then she looked at Li Xu and said softly, "Mother Ziang, I'm really sorry. This man of mine said something unpleasant. Please don't take it personally."
Li Xu curled the corners of his lips and said nothing.
"But we only have one daughter, Yumeng, so of course we want her to live a better life."
Apart from this, there were no other words.
Ji Ziang and Fan Yumeng made the decision hastily, so they haven't discussed the bride price yet.
Ji Ziang thought that it would be better to just let his parents discuss it.
Even if you ask for more, how much more can you get?
At worst, he can just pay for the extra money himself so as not to make his elder brother and sister-in-law feel uncomfortable.
But he didn't expect that the Fan family would be so bold to ask for one million directly?
Not only that, but he also had to buy a separate house for Fan Yumeng.
House within the Second Ring Road? Does the Fan family know how much a house within the Second Ring Road is worth now?
"Fan Yumeng, is this your idea or your family's?" Ji Ziang asked directly.
Fan Yumeng raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
"Ji Ziang, what's your attitude?" Father Fan was anxious.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Zi'ang, please speak properly."
Father Fan directly pointed the finger at Li Xu and Zhang Kun: "Is this how you educate your son? You dare to talk to my daughter like this before you even get married?"
"You're just talking about the bride price, what about the dowry?" Ji Ziang has a bad temper. How could he tolerate others talking to his parents like that? He directly confronted Fan's father.
Father Fan was stunned for a moment, and replied directly: "Only men with no future would think about their wife's dowry."
This means there is no dowry?
Ji Ziang sneered: "Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her?"
Annoying! Another chapter has been blocked. From chapter 706, I can guess what I wrote in chapter 705. I revised it once but it didn’t pass. I have to wait 48 hours before I can revise it again. Oh~
