Chapter 1087: Getting a Dowry to Buy a House
He didn't take anything from the Zhai family, nor did he give anything to Qiao Nan, but no matter what, the Zhai family married a top student from Peking University from him.
With this in mind, Qiao Dongliang did not feel that he was inferior to Zhai Jiarao.
It turned out that it was the Zhai family who took advantage of him.
"Dad, you are so stupid. You raised Qiao Nan until she was 21 with great difficulty. Qiao Nan is going to get married. You worked so hard to raise her. How can you give away a daughter to someone else for free without even asking for a betrothal gift?"
Qiao Zijin couldn't accept it: "No, Dad, we can't just let this go. Hurry up and find a time and opportunity, preferably before the wedding, to discuss this issue with the Zhai family again. Not only do we need the betrothal money, but we can't ask for less, we must ask for more. It doesn't make sense. We are giving them a person for free. How can it be so easy for them?"
Qiao Dongliang refused: "No, I don't agree. If I really do this, Nan Nan will not be able to stand up straight in the Zhai family in the future. I am marrying my daughter, not selling her. No betrothal gifts, no dowry, just right."
If he took the betrothal gift from the Lie family, Qiao Dongliang would know about it. From then on, he would not be able to raise his head in the compound and in front of the Zhai family.
It's the same old saying. He married Nan Nan to Zhai Sheng not because of the Zhai family background, but because Zhai Sheng was good to Nan Nan.
He only marries his daughters and never sells them.
"Dad, what do you know!" Qiao Zijin rolled her eyes. "You didn't ask for anything from the Zhai family, but you let Zhai Sheng marry Qiao Nan so easily. The Zhai family might think Qiao Nan is cheap and worthless, and look down on her even more. We asked for a high betrothal gift to let the Zhai family know that our Nan Nan is a good child, and they have to treat her well after marrying her."
"If you pay a price to get something, it will definitely be cherished. Dad, I do this for Nan Nan's good. Don't be soft-hearted for a moment and think you are doing it for Nan Nan's good, but end up doing something that hurts Nan Nan's self-esteem for the rest of her life."
With the money given by the Hunter family, maybe she will have the chance to settle in the capital in the future, not to mention Pingcheng.
Qiao Zijin knew that Chen Jun's ultimate goal was the capital.
She didn't want to be outdone by Qiao Nan, so of course she wanted to settle down in the capital with Chen Jun.
So the first problem she had to solve was the house.
With the money given by the Lie family, the house will no longer be a problem. In the future, the Chen family will look up to her as their daughter-in-law because of this house.
Qiao Zijin had heard this a long time ago. After a woman gets married, conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are often the biggest problem.
Qiao Zijin was not someone who was willing to suffer anger. She couldn't help but think that if they really settled in the capital in the future, the Chen family would live in their own house.
At that time, if anyone from the Chen family dared to show her displeasure, she would have the power to kick them out of her home.
By the way, before her father gets the money, she must buy a house as soon as possible. She must not let this money and the final house become her and Chen Jun’s marital property.
"No." Qiao Zijin's plan was hers. Qiao Dongliang wanted to stick to his own idea: "Your words sound reasonable. However, I respect Nan Nan's decision."
Nan Nan never mentioned the issue of betrothal gifts, so Qiao Dongliang was unwilling to get involved.
Qiao Dongliang always has this attitude. He may not be unaware that there are problems in this situation, but as long as the person involved has no objection, he will not make any unnecessary efforts.
If Qiao Nan wanted to be scheming and thought that the betrothal gift was a sign of the Zhai family's regard for her, then Qiao Dongliang would lose face and discuss it with the Zhai family.
What's rare is that Qiao Nan has never mentioned this issue.
Anyway, Qiao Dongliang couldn't give a dowry, so of course she didn't want to be so shameless as to ask the Zhai family for a betrothal gift again.
Qiao Zijin frowned, "Dad, how about I go to the Zhu family with you? Nan Nan is young, it's normal that she doesn't understand these situations. Let's explain the situation to Nan Nan and see what she means. What if Nan Nan doesn't want to pay the betrothal gift, but she doesn't know about it at all? That would be bad."
"This..." Qiao Dongliang didn't want to have so many troubles, but Qiao Zijin's words made sense, and Qiao Dongliang didn't want to be blamed by Qiao Nan in the future: "Okay, I'll take you to the Zhu family and tell Nan Nan about this situation."
"Wait, Dad, I'm just an only child. I know some things, but I may not know the details. Otherwise, let's call Mom, she will definitely know."
For the sake of her own house, Qiao Zijin was worried that her firepower was not enough, so she wanted to call Ding Jiayi to join her.
Fortunately, Qiao Dongliang was not stupid and refused: "No, I know your mother's temper very well. Once money is involved, I am afraid that even if Nan Nan agrees, it may not be from the heart. In the end, the one who wants the betrothal gift should be your mother, not Nan Nan. When your mother and I divorced, it was already settled. Nan Nan's affairs are under my jurisdiction, and your mother has no right to interfere. If Nan Nan really wants a betrothal gift, I will not let your mother touch a penny."
Qiao Dongliang was like this, Qiao Zijin had no choice but to give up and follow Qiao Dongliang into the Zhu family first.
After hearing what Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Zijin said, Qiao Nan, who was trying on new clothes, stopped looking in the mirror.
Through the reflection of the mirror, Qiao Nan could clearly see Qiao Zijin standing behind him, staring at his back with a pair of red eyes, full of envy and hatred.
The ferocious expression left Qiao Nan with no doubt. It was a pity that this was at Zhu's house. If it was at Qiao's house, Qiao Zijin would have rushed over, stripped her clothes off her body, and put them on himself.
You know, Qiao Zijin loves beauty very much, and what she likes most is this kind of beautiful clothes and exquisite jewelry.
As if she wanted to deliberately piss Qiao Zijin off to death, Qiao Nan straightened her waist to show off the perfection of the dress more completely.
This dress is not mass-produced. Miao Liang had someone make it specifically for Qiao Nan.
That's right, this dress is designed entirely according to Qiao Nan's figure.
Qiao Nan is a clothes hanger. She is thin and has long legs. Even ordinary clothes look good on her, not to mention customized clothes that show off her perfect figure.
Qiao Nan’s legs are already long enough, but because the waistline of her skirt is raised, it looks like Qiao Nan is just legs below the waist.
