Shen Zhihuan and Su Lili chatted in low voices for a few words, then went back to their rooms to sleep.
I never expected that the real Dacongming was already on the train back to Sichuan City.
"mother."
When Shen Zhilan learned that Shen Zhihuan was going back to Panshi Village to hold a wedding banquet, the first thing that came to her mind was the bride price.
Let’s not talk about whether the short-lived girl can have children. Just say that she can earn hundreds of dollars a month by writing articles. If the Su family marries the short-lived girl, it will undoubtedly be like catching an old hen that lays golden eggs.
How could he not have the nerve to do so if the Su family didn't give him a dowry of five or six thousand yuan?
The whole family was crowded together all the way back to Sichuan City, and she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to her mother alone.
Now seeing Li Qiuhua going to the toilet, Shen Zhilan quickly handed her sleeping son in her arms to her husband Yang Zhongyi and trotted after her.
Yang Zhongyi patted his son who was whimpering because of the sudden change of arms, and frowned to look at Shen Zhilan's anxious back.
Shen Xiaoqing, who was sitting on the other side, heard the noise beside her and curled her lips slightly.
When Li Qiuhua heard her daughter calling her, she turned around and looked at her second daughter who was jogging after her, "What's the matter? Do you want to go to the toilet too?"
Shen Zhilan winked at Li Qiuhua, then looked in the direction of the toilet, motioning Li Qiuhua to go in first.
Although Li Qiuhua was a little confused, he didn't say anything more and followed him into the bathroom.
Although it is a straight-flush toilet, there are many people on the train and many people go in and out of the toilet. Once the door is closed, the stench is overpowering.
Shen Zhilan frowned in disdain.
"What's the matter?" Li Qiuhua couldn't stand the stench.
"Mom, have you heard how much dowry the Su family gave to our family?" Shen Zhilan whispered.
Li Qiuhua shook her head.
She heard about the wedding banquet from others, so how could she know how much dowry the Su family would give?
Shen Zhilan gritted her teeth.
She just knew it.
Was it easy for her to raise that short-lived boy? She actually didn't even inform her own mother and father in order to embezzle the betrothal gift.
"Mom, Zhihuan earns so much money a month. It's a blessing for the Su family that she can marry into their family. We can't ask for less in terms of betrothal gifts." Shen Zhilan lowered her voice for fear that passersby might hear.
"We ask for... a gift ourselves?" Li Qiuhua was embarrassed. "I'm afraid this is not a good idea!"
She is marrying her daughter off, not selling her.
How could you ask the Su family for a betrothal gift? !
Besides, Zhihuan and Su Ziyu have already got their marriage certificate.
Even if she asked for a high amount, the Su family might not give it to her.
By then, it would become a mess.
Shen Zhilan frowned, "It's only natural to ask for a gift when marrying off a daughter. What's wrong with that?! If we don't mention the gift, the Su family will think that our Shen family is shamelessly trying to get married!"
"After this, when Zhi Huan enters the Su family, people will say that she is worthless and a money-loser! Mom, you can't be so stupid!"
"Then how much money should we ask for as a dowry?" Li Qiuhua was unsure.
"I think it should be at least this number." Shen Zhilan spread out his right hand.
"Five hundred!" Li Qiuhua was shocked.
Nowadays, the average family gives about a hundred or eighty yuan as a dowry. For families with slightly better conditions, two or three hundred yuan is considered a lot.
five hundred……
She had never seen any family dare to ask for so much dowry.
"It's not five hundred, it's five...thousand!" Shen Zhilan resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Her mother is really promising! That short-lived guy earns more than this amount of money by writing articles in a month. She is asking the Su family for this amount. Isn't she stupid?
"Five thousand!!" Li Qiuhua exclaimed.
Shen Zhilan gently tugged at the corner of Li Qiuhua's clothes, signaling her to speak more quietly.
"Zhilan, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Qiuhua felt that Shen Zhilan was really crazy.
Five thousand...
Who can afford five thousand these days?
Don't even mention whether you can afford it or not. Even if you can afford it, who would give 5,000 yuan as a gift to marry a daughter-in-law? ?
Inlaid with gold? ! Shen Zhilan: "Mom, Zhihuan can earn hundreds of dollars a month by writing articles, have you forgotten? We only want a few hundred dollars for the betrothal gift. If it gets out, people in the village will say that Zhihuan is giving away money to the old Su family! How can Zhihuan stay in the old Su family in the future?!"
Li Qiuhua frowned and thought about it.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"But isn't five thousand a bit too much? Can Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia agree to it?"
The key point is, can Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia come up with 5,000? ! 5,000, not 500.
If you don’t have 500 yuan, you can borrow from relatives and friends.
Five thousand...
Who can lend me five thousand?
"What's more? Zhihuan earns more than 5,000 yuan a year by writing articles. Now that she has married into the Su family, won't all the money she earns in the future belong to the Su family?" Shen Zhilan began to do ideological work on Li Qiuhua.
That short-lived guy didn't even go back home, let alone bring money home.
Now is such a good opportunity...
"What if the Su family doesn't have that much money?" Li Qiuhua frowned, still a little hesitant.
You can't ruin the marriage for a 5,000 yuan gift! "The old Su family doesn't have it, but Su Ziyu does! I heard from Xiaoqing that a leader of Su Ziyu's level earns more than 100 yuan a month. On weekdays, he also gets allowances and subsidies when he goes on missions. It's not a small amount when added up!"
If that burden hadn't said it, she wouldn't have known that the poor soldier could get such a high salary.
Even if he makes two hundred a month, that would be two thousand four hundred a year.
A betrothal gift of five thousand yuan is enough, which is a little more than two years’ salary.
Besides, that short-lived guy makes a lot of money writing articles every month.
Asking him for five thousand is already a bargain.
"More than a hundred? One month?" Li Qiuhua's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes! The monthly salary is more than one hundred yuan, and they also get allowances and subsidies when they go on missions. They have plenty of money!" Shen Zhilan took a deep breath and said patiently.
Li Qiuhua was stunned, unable to digest what he heard.
Shen Jianguo's monthly salary is only 60 yuan, and Su Ziyu is so young, but he can earn more than 100 yuan a month, and there are also allowances and subsidies...
A few days ago, she heard from Mr. Shen and Shen Jianguo that the higher-ups intended to promote Su Ziyu to another level.
If this is raised to the next level, then the salary will also have to increase...
"But... we want too many at once. Will the villagers say that the Shen family is selling our daughter?" Li Qiuhua twisted her fingers, hesitant.
It would be too bad to hear this out! "What do you mean by selling your daughter? Our Zhihuan is worth that much money. Have they ever seen a daughter who can earn hundreds of dollars a month?"
If Shen Zhilan's words were heard by Shen Zhihuan, he would definitely ask in return, why did she, Shen Zhilan, sell herself so cheaply when she got married?
Is it that the price of pork is not high, or is it that dog meat is not considered presentable?
