"We are all family, we can say whatever we want, and we can also tell others about it. Don't worry, Old Shen." Tian Shengli thought that once the case was solved, the old lady would believe it even more and the case would be publicized all over the world.
"Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu, I've never been a matchmaker, so I'll just say whatever I want. If you have any requirements for the girl to marry, just tell her." As the matchmaker for the man and representing him, they must be generous.
Tian Shengli and Wu Meifang really haven't thought about this.
"Aunt Shen, there's no need for a dowry. Just buy them the things they need for their wedding. We don't have any requirements." Tian Shengli was still rather rude. Discussing a dowry was like selling a girl. He felt uncomfortable.
"How can that be? Who doesn't want a dowry? I can't listen to you. Xiao Wu, you are a careful mother. Don't listen to this rough old man. Let's discuss it." How could Mrs. Shen listen to Tian Shengli? Not giving a dowry is ridiculous. It is natural to give a dowry when marrying a wife. If the woman is good, she can bring a dowry. If you don't bring a dowry, the man won't be picky.
Wu Meifang had never thought about it, but she couldn't refuse it. This was a question of the man's attitude towards the woman. "Auntie, just follow the general trend. I don't know the specific amount. Just make sure it's not worse than others."
It was the first time for Old Lady Shen to act as a matchmaker, and she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She had heard of many cases of people quarreling over ten or twenty pieces of money.
These two families asked her to come just for formality!
"Well, then I know. You will never let our daughter suffer. You all have to go to work, so let's go ahead and have dinner together at the Li family this weekend, and then we can settle this matter."
Old Mrs. Shen is impatient. Neither side has any objections, so why bother arguing?
Tian Shengli and Wu Meifang also agreed
And just like that, Li Laosan and Tian Qingqing's engagement party was scheduled for this weekend.
Old Mrs. Shen came to report the good news happily, and the old lady was also very happy. She really liked this girl Qingqing. A fresh flower was stuck in cow dung. After all, the cow dung was her own. She was happy!
"Thank you for your hard work, elder sister!"
"Why work so hard? This is my grandson's happy event! Don't let the girl down with the betrothal gift or something!" Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but remind him.
Speaking of this, although the old lady is not a matchmaker, she knows the betrothal gifts of ordinary families, which are around five hundred yuan.
She really couldn't get in touch with children from official families like the Shen and Tian families, so she asked, "Old sister, how much do you usually give as a betrothal gift in your circle?"
"We didn't give much money to our grandson's wife, but we gave her two old things. Basically, the couple has a job and a house. Marriage is like dividing the family. We prepare all the furniture in the house. As for electrical appliances, we will definitely have three switches and one ring. Television, washing machine, and refrigerator depend on conditions."
Old Mrs. Shen was considering it. She knew that the Li family was in good condition, but after all, they had no financial resources and could not compare with them.
The old lady understood that there were basically all kinds of electrical appliances, as well as old items, the value of which could not be measured by money.
I chatted with Mrs. Shen for a while. Mrs. Shen was coming over on the weekend, so I went back first.
The old lady also hurried to the scrap yard to find Wu Zhiqiu and told him about the bride price.
Wu Zhiqiu had a headache, "Mom, the third child is rich, so buying these electrical appliances is not a big deal, but if they are sold in a slum, they will be too conspicuous." The theft incident didn't last long.
"If it were up to me, I'd just give the third son away. He earns enough every month, and it's no problem for him to support the family. Why does he need to stay by their side and be their nanny?" She didn't have the conditions or money to buy a house for Li Man to split the family, otherwise she would have lived on her own a long time ago.
