Seeing her expression, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, but then quickly covered it up. "Auntie, I want to ask, is this money going to be left for Xiaojuan and my brother to use for our daily life in the future?"
This is a lot of money. If Zhang's parents leave some for them, they can understand. After all, it is not easy to raise a daughter of this age, and it is only natural for her to give some to them as a filial daughter.
But if we give them all this money, that would be a different story.
You know, if they ask for all of it this time, they will definitely ask for all of it as a betrothal gift when they get married, which would be a bit excessive.
If this money could be given like other people’s engagements, it would be fine, but it is more than two or three times more than others.
Lin Feng and Lin Rui are two grown men, and it is not appropriate for them to get involved in this matter. They have no parents, so she, as their younger sister, is the only one who can come forward.
"This..." Zhang Xiu didn't expect Lin Xiaoxiao to ask this. He was stunned and hesitated, unable to answer.
Of course, her brother and sister-in-law had no intention of giving this money to Xiaojuan. To put it bluntly, Xiaojuan wouldn't be able to spend a penny of it.
Judging from her brother and sister-in-law's temper, if Xiaojuan needs anything in the future, she will definitely ask Lin Rui herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately understood what she meant, so she said directly, "Aunt, my eldest brother and second brother have already discussed it. We will give the dowry, but we have to make it clear first that we can only give 30 yuan to Xiaojuan's parents. The rest will belong to Xiaojuan, and she can spend it as she pleases."
After hearing the first half, Zhang Xiu was delighted again, but after hearing the second half, she was troubled again, and her mood was like riding a roller coaster.
But generally speaking, the Lin family's request is not excessive at all. The dowry is originally given to girls, and generally open-minded parents do not ask for dowry from their daughters.
The Lin family offered to give thirty yuan to my brother and sister-in-law, which was already considered kind and righteous.
After taking a look at Lin Feng and Lin Rui's expressions, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I'll go back now and discuss it with my brother and sister-in-law."
"Okay, then I'll have to make another trip for this matter." Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Then you guys go to bed early, I'll come back tomorrow to answer you."
Zhang Xiu was worried that this matter should be settled as soon as possible to avoid any trouble. After returning home, he rode his bike to Zhang's house. The Zhang family had dinner late, and when Zhang Xiu arrived there, the whole family was having dinner.
It was Zhang Xiaojuan who opened the door. She didn't know about the big mouth of Lioness Zhang. When she saw it was Zhang Xiu, she smiled and said, "Mom, it's Auntie."
She and Lin Rui knew each other thanks to Zhang Xiu, so Zhang Xiaojuan treated her very well.
Zhang Xiaoling frowned and didn't even want to say hello to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang's father and mother were both worried about the dowry. After a few polite words and asking if Zhang Xiu had eaten, they got down to business. "Xiu, what did the Lin family say?"
"With so much money, do you think they'll easily agree to it?" Zhang Xiu said with a deliberately stern face. "You guys are definitely going to ruin this marriage by making such a fuss."
When these words were spoken, Zhang Xiaojuan was stunned.
Did my parents go to discuss the dowry? Didn't they go to discuss dinner? They didn't even mention a date for dinner when they came back. So, they're asking for the dowry and are arguing with the Lin family?
From what my aunt said, the dowry is going to be quite a bit.
Zhang Xiaojuan's face changed. "Mom, how can you ask for money without permission?"
Mother Zhang glared at her and said, "This is none of your business. Go back to the house."
