Chapter 309: This betrothal gift is enough to marry ten wives
Zhao Tian had not had the time to tell her parents about this before, and as a result, what happened tonight happened.
I don’t know if it’s too late to say it now.
After Zhao Tian finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Tian's parents.
"Old man, what do you think about this matter..." Zhao Tian's mother looked at her husband and asked.
Zhao Tian's father seemed to be thinking about something.
Zhao Tian's mother, seeing that her husband had no idea for a while, spoke to Gu's mother.
"I think it would be better for us to let Boss Gu and Zhao Tian stay in Kaoshan Village."
"The two houses are not far away from each other. If Zhao Tian goes to a place as far away as Beijing, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for several years... I'm afraid I won't be able to see my daughter even more." Zhao Tian's mother said to Gu's mother.
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu nodded without hesitation.
"If you don't want Zhao Tian and Zhendong to go to Beijing after marriage, that's no problem at all. I can stay and help take care of the young couple." Mother Gu said directly.
It means that this matter is up to you.
Whatever you say is what it is.
This is also what Gu Zhendong explained.
"..." Zhao Tian's mother just wanted to ask tentatively.
As a result, Gu's mother agreed directly.
Gu Zhendong is also willing to stay in this small place, Kaoshan Village, for Zhao Tian.
Really...
This shows that he really values his daughter.
Zhao Tian's father, who had not been smoking just now, picked up a pipe from the side of the table.
He put some tobacco in the small pipe, pressed it with his fingers, then picked up a match and lit the pipe.
Took a deep breath.
He exhaled a large puff of smoke.
"Wife, I think we should let Zhao Tian and Gu Zhendong go to Jing City." Zhao Tian's father spoke.
Although he was reluctant to let his daughter go so far away.
But he felt that Beijing was a big place, and going there would allow him to see the world and broaden his horizons.
If the couple stayed in Kaoshan Village, they would probably be farmers working in the fields all their lives.
I'm not saying that farmers are bad, I just think that if I have the chance to go out and see the world, maybe there will be other opportunities?
"This..." Zhao Tian's mother really didn't expect that her husband would say this.
"Just listen to me this time. Gu Zhendong is willing to stay in Kaoshan Village for Zhao Tian. Let's not stop our daughter."
"Gu Zhendong, this kid is good." Zhao Tian's father said slowly after taking a few puffs of his cigarette.
Zhao Tian's mother sighed when she heard this.
He nodded as well.
Upon seeing this, Gu's mother said some confidential words to Zhao Tian's parents, saying that she would take good care of Zhao Tian and would not let her suffer any loss.
He would definitely treat her like his own daughter.
Zhao Tian's parents also said that they were relieved and were willing to believe what Gu's mother said.
The conversation went fairly smoothly.
When it came time to give the betrothal gift, Zhao Tian's parents said that any amount was fine, depending on one's feeling.
The Zhao family would not sell their daughter.
"Niannian!" Gu's mother had not discussed the issue of the bride price with Su Niannian before, and Su Niannian also said that she would take out the bride price depending on the situation when the time comes.
This money should be regarded as borrowed by Gu Zhendong.
so……
Su Niannian put her hand into her trouser pocket with a happy smile on her face.
He took out a big handful of unity from his trouser pocket.
This was prepared before Su Niannian came.
Su Niannian handed the money directly and generously into Aunt Zhao's hands.
Zhao Tian's mother was stunned when she saw so many great unity coins in her hands.
"This...how much is this!!" Zhao Tian's mother was a little at a loss. She took the money and showed it to Zhao Tian's father.
Zhao Tian’s father was also a little stunned. So many? They are all Great Unity tickets that cost ten yuan each.
How much is this...
Zhao Tian’s father was also confused.
Zhao Tian was originally sitting on a small stool at the door with her brother, but then she saw Su Niannian taking out so many big unity coins.
I was completely stunned.
The highest dowry in Kaoshan Village is fifty yuan, which is the price Wei Heping's family offered before.
Under normal circumstances, twenty yuan is a common price.
There are also families with better financial conditions and more strong laborers who are willing to spend thirty or fifty yuan to find a wife for their children.
But, no matter how many there are, I have never seen so many.
Just taking a quick look, there are at least twenty or thirty pictures, right?
This, Zhao Tian’s mother really didn’t dare to accept it.
I originally thought that considering the Gu family's situation, fifty yuan as a betrothal gift was already a lot.
Twenty or thirty is not impossible, Zhao Tian's mother can accept it.
I really didn't expect that they would give so much.
Mother Gu was also a little stunned. She thought that if Su Niannian gave about fifty or sixty yuan, it would be good enough, but she didn't expect Su Niannian to give...
Wow, how much is this? It looks like about two hundred yuan, right?
Gu's mother has begun to worry about Gu Zhendong. How will her son make money? Can he make so much money to pay back the betrothal money?
Everyone thought that Su Niannian might have given the wrong money.
That's too much.
It was also at this time that Su Niannian smiled happily.
"Aunt Zhao, here is two hundred and eighty yuan. It's the betrothal money my eldest brother Gu Zhendong gave to Zhao Tian."
"Besides, my eldest brother said that this money is for honoring our parents, so there is no need for Zhao Tian to bring it back."
Su Niannian smiled happily and said two hundred and eighty yuan.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, okay?
This is two hundred and eighty yuan.
To put it bluntly, two hundred and eighty yuan can marry ten or so wives.
"No, no, no. If we accept so much money, what kind of people will we become?" Zhao Tian's father said hurriedly.
If I really accept it, wouldn’t that be like selling my daughter?
No matter what, you can't accept so much betrothal money.
Zhao Tian’s father’s words made Su Niannian feel that Zhao Tian was really lucky.
Su Niannian believed that if this money appeared in someone else's home, the girl's parents would definitely take it away immediately, for fear that the boy would change his mind.
"My old man is right. We can't do this. We can't charge so much money." Zhao Tian's mother also said so.
As he said this, he was about to stuff the money into Su Niannian's pocket.
Su Niannian took a step back and avoided the actions of Zhao Tian's mother.
"You two elders are not selling your daughter, so it makes sense for us to give you this money."
"My eldest brother is divorced and has a child. Zhao Tian is a good person and will definitely treat Yang Yang as her own child. That's for sure."
"Moreover, Zhao Tian has good character, good looks, is down-to-earth and hardworking, and is devoted to my eldest brother. She has waited for him for so many years. I honestly think that many women cannot do this."
"This money is a betrothal gift. It is also the sincerity of our Gu family and my eldest brother Gu Zhendong." Su Niannian said with a smile.
Zhao Tian's parents looked at each other when they heard this.
Now that things have come to this, should I accept it or not?
