Fang Qiao was not surprised at all by Fang Lu's words.
Because in her previous life, when she returned from the countryside, Fang Lu had already dated four or five people, but none of them worked out.
This year's braided hairstyle is a thing of the past.
"oh."
Fang Qiao's cold attitude made Fang Lu feel uncomfortable, wishing she would ask more questions: "Second sister, aren't you going to ask why the conversation fell apart?"
Fang Qiao wasn't entirely uninterested, so she asked, "Why?"
"Because that woman was asking for an exorbitant amount."
When things are good, he refers to her as his girlfriend; when things are bad, he becomes "that woman." His change in attitude is all too real.
Fang Lu said irritably, "The bride price is 188 yuan right off the bat, and there's no dowry. Fine, no dowry is fine, after all, my sister-in-law didn't bring a dowry when she married my brother either."
Fang Qiao knew this because in his previous life, his sister-in-law Dong Ping often criticized his older brother Fang Hai for not giving a bride price, which always ignited a 'war' in the family.
He then reminded her, "It's true that your sister-in-law didn't bring a dowry, but your brother didn't give any betrothal gifts either, so it's even. Don't bring this up, or you'll deserve to be beaten."
“I know, I didn’t say it at home, I was just venting to you, I’m not that stupid.”
Fang Lu continued, "I'm just using my sister-in-law's situation as an example. My sister-in-law didn't have a dowry or ask for a bride price, but this woman not only asked me for a bride price, but after that, she even had the nerve to ask me for 'three turns and one ring' (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), and not a single one less. I wonder if she's looking for a partner or a sucker? Do I look like such a sucker to her?"
Fang Qiao objectively said, "Given your qualifications, what she's asking for is indeed a bit too much."
"It's not just a little too much, it's way too much!" Fang Lu said indignantly. "The bride price alone is 188 yuan, the bicycle is over 100, the sewing machine is over 100, even a cheap watch costs 50 or 60, not to mention the radio, which is barely bigger than the palm of your hand but costs over 100, ridiculously expensive and you can't even get the ration coupon. After all the expenses, 500 yuan isn't enough. Where are we going to get so much money? We've borrowed from all our relatives, but we still can't get it."
"Don't you even look at your surroundings before you open your mouth? With our two dilapidated houses, do we look like the kind of family that can afford to spend five hundred yuan on a child's wedding? We wouldn't even have room to put it if we bought it." Fang Lu snorted and complained, "She has no sense of how to judge people. I don't think she's any smart person. If it's over, it's over. No regrets. Anyway, I'm still young, the next one will be better."
So you're just taking advantage of your youth to break up with one person after another, right?
After much deliberation, he finally married a girl who was mediocre in every way when he was almost thirty. After the marriage, he complained that she was unsatisfactory in every way. The first thing he did after becoming successful was to keep a mistress and have an affair.
That's incredibly scummy!
Fang Lu declared with great ambition: "I refuse to believe that I can't find someone who has all the right conditions and doesn't ask for a dowry."
Fang Qiao was speechless: "..."
Would a girl who's good at everything be interested in you?
Keep dreaming!
