Chapter 79 Signature
When Wang Qiaomei saw Uncle Zhou’s reaction, she suddenly became anxious. She bit her lip and looked at Zhou Qin in embarrassment.
In fact, when she saw Zhou Qin's fat face, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited. If Zhou Qin was not her only way to escape the current situation, she would not have made such a big sacrifice.
She has condescended to agree to get married, and the betrothal gift of 88 yuan is not too much. Is it possible that she is not worthy of him?
As soon as Zhou Qin saw Wang Qiaomei's aggrieved and embarrassed face, the look in her eyes that seemed to need saving was especially like his Sister Lian. He had no resistance to girls like this.
Just as Uncle Zhou was objecting angrily, Zhou Qin spoke up, "Dad, it's good enough for me to get married with my conditions. Eighty-eight is not too much!"
"Eighty-eight isn't enough? Can you afford it?" Uncle Zhou was so angry that he asked directly.
"I..." He really didn't have much money on him. Half of his money this month had been spent on the Su family, and the other half was almost spent. What's more, he had never saved any money, so he really couldn't take out eighty-eight!
"If you can't come up with it, just shut up. Eighty-eight is not a lot, right? If you have the ability, go and get back all the money you spent on the Su family. It's not much. As long as you can bring it back, I will propose to you!" Uncle Zhou gave them another plan while speaking.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qin refused to agree. “I voluntarily gave that money to Sister Lian and the others. How can I get it back?” Doesn’t he want to save face?
In Zhou Qin's view, his face is more important than anything else.
Wang Qiaomei lowered her head and caught the message. It turned out that the rumors she had heard before were true. If she and Zhou Qin really got married, she must get the money back!
"If you don't want to take it back, don't talk about it so much! Do you think eighty-eight is not a lot? This is my salary for three months without eating or drinking! I have to save this eighty-eight yuan for half a year, isn't it not a lot?" Uncle Zhou was almost mad at this unfilial son. What does eighty-eight mean not a lot?
If you have the ability, go out yourself!
Matchmaker Li didn't know what to do for a moment, but in order to make the deal happen, she decided to use her eloquence to convince Uncle Zhou.
"Brother Zhou, think about it. This may be the closest Zhou Qin has ever been to marriage. All that's missing is the gift and the certificate to get the marriage certificate. The daughter-in-law you want is already in front of you. It only takes 88 yuan for the gift!"
Uncle Zhou was still weighing the options, and from time to time he glanced at the woman with lowered eyes beside the matchmaker. He always felt that he could see the shadow of Qin Xianglian in this woman, so he was dissatisfied with this woman at first. But it was obvious that Zhou Qin liked this type, so he planned to compromise. However, after he had convinced himself, the issue of a high bride price suddenly arose, which made it a little difficult for him to accept!
"Can it be less? The highest dowry for the two couples who got married in our courtyard recently was only sixty-six. What's more, our family also provided a job opportunity for the girl after the marriage. How can they have the nerve to ask for such a high dowry?" Uncle Zhou is always sober when it comes to financial issues.
Matchmaker Li was extremely upset. How could she, who had been a matchmaker for so long, not know this?
"The girl's family said that even if they offered a job opportunity, it would be for the married girl, not for their family. Could they send all the salary back to the girl's family?"
"Of course not, how is this possible?" Uncle Zhou's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the woman's family would think this way. He would never let those people succeed.
Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth, his eyes wandering between the two of them, and he hardened his heart and said, "Okay, I'll pay the betrothal money, but you have to give me a promise that if you really get a job you won't give it up, and you can't send the salary back to your parents' home. We have to sign a document!" Uncle Zhou was afraid that his efforts would be in vain.
Wang Qiaomei agreed readily. This was her only chance to escape from her current situation. How could she not agree?
"Okay!" This was so crisp and decisive that it made people a little suspicious.
Now the matchmaker smiled. It finally worked this time, right?
Just waiting for Uncle Zhou to go along and give the betrothal gift. In fact, the main purpose of giving the betrothal gift is to get her household registration booklet for the marriage!
"Then shall we go there later?"
"Go now!" Uncle Zhou planned to resolve this matter quickly to avoid any further accidents!
Wang Qiaomei's family was indeed not a good bunch. After Uncle Zhou arrived, they actually wanted to raise the price.
"Don't even think about it. If you want to marry, marry. If not, get lost!"
"Yes, yes, that's not the case! Didn't we say eighty-eight before? How could it go up to one hundred?" Matchmaker Li was having a headache. "If that's the case, then forget about it. Who would raise the price like you do before getting married?"
Wang Qiaomei's face looked extremely ugly. She knew that his parents would not let it go!
Perhaps they saw Uncle Zhou's firm attitude, so for the sake of the eighty-eight yuan, they had no choice but to compromise.
After a long stalemate, they finally agreed!
"Okay, then let's do eighty-eight!" The tone was still reluctant!
"Okay, but the receipt has to be signed!" After seeing how greedy this family was, Uncle Zhou felt that the receipt he had mentioned before was still very necessary. Not only did Wang Qiaomei have to sign it, but his family members in her mother's family had to sign it as well!
Now it was Wang Qiaomei's family's turn to look unhappy. "What document?"
"In order to get a high bride price, didn't your family claim that after your daughter gets a job, she would bring the salary back to support your family? To ensure this, let's sign the document!" Uncle Zhou hit them right in the face.
They never expected that Uncle Wang was so shrewd. They did plan to ask for a high bride price, and if their daughter really got a job, they would let her give the job to her sister-in-law. This would kill two birds with one stone. However, their plan seemed to have been discovered before it could be put into practice!
“We won’t sign!”
"Okay, if you don't sign, I won't give you the betrothal gift. At worst, I can find another one for my son!" Uncle Zhou said and planned to leave the Wang family.
At the moment when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Wang Qiaomei's father!
"How can you just leave? If you have something to say, let's talk it over nicely!"
"Who doesn't want to talk it out? You guys should think about it yourself."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's sign!" Anyway, what we are not asking for is wages, what we want is jobs, no conflicts!
"No, why is there this clause on the document?" When Wang Qiaomei's family was about to sign, they suddenly saw the clause that the job could not be transferred. They were a little surprised. How could it be predicted again?
