"Dad," Lin Nuo called out coquettishly, "You said this marriage is already above our status, what else can I ask for? Besides, he's the only son of the Xihua family. Won't everything be his when the time comes? What's his is mine? What's the point of asking for money and damaging the relationship?"
These things will all belong to her in the end. In Lin Nuo's opinion, it is useless to lose face and ask for this and that.
“…”
Lin Aiguo thought about it carefully and felt that what Lin Nuo said did make some sense.
Seeing this, Xu Yaoyao curled her lips and said, "It sounds good, but we don't want a penny. But when the time comes, won't we have to pay for the wedding banquet ourselves? Other families make money by marrying off their daughters, but we have to pay for it ourselves."
"Don't we collect gifts when we hold a banquet?" Lin Nuo retorted.
Xu Yaoyao became even more unhappy when she heard this. "Since you said so, I'll settle this account with you."
"If you ask for a betrothal gift, we can use the money to buy you something as a dowry. Wouldn't that make you look better? You don't want anything now, so how can you expect your family to give you a dowry? Where would your family even have the money to give you a dowry? If we don't give you a dowry, won't outsiders gossip about your brother and me?"
To put it bluntly, if she accepted the betrothal gift, she would be using other people's money to improve the appearance of her family. Now that she has received nothing, she will not agree to use her family's money to pay for the dowry.
"You're short-sighted." Lin Nuo said, "Don't just focus on the small profits in front of you. When Xihua and I get married and our lives become stable, I'll arrange a job for you in the city. You can earn more than this."
Lin Nuo went to the city, and she also discovered that as long as she had some connections and acquaintances, and just said a word, she could get a job in the city and earn money every month.
There is no need to farm in the village and quarrel with others over a little land.
"Come on!" Xu Yaoyao snorted, "I'm tired of hearing that."
I said this before, but it’s been so long and there’s still no news.
"Believe it or not." Lin Nuo was too lazy to say too much to her.
This marriage is her own. If she wants the betrothal gift, she can take it. If she doesn't want it, no one can interfere.
"you……"
Xu Yaoyao was about to say something when she was interrupted by Lin Aiguo.
"Well, since I've already told them I don't want a betrothal gift, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask for one again. So let's just leave it at that."
Everyone has vanity, and Lin Aiguo is no exception. Lin Nuo married well, so even if he didn't give any dowry, he would still feel proud if he could tell others about it.
So even though there was no betrothal gift, Lin Aiguo had no choice but to accept it.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you are a family, and I am an outsider. Can I stop talking?"
Xu Yaoyao was so angry that she slammed the dishes on the table, turned around and went back to the house. It was obvious that she was angry.
"Yaoyao."
Lin Dacheng yelled out that he had a headache, then glared at Lin Nuo and turned back to the house.
"well!"
Lin Aiguo sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Lin Nuo comforted him, "Dad, don't be angry. She's just like that. When my mom comes out, you can separate from them. Everyone can live their own lives and be free."
"How do we divide this house?" Lin Aiguo also wants to divide the family now, but dividing the family is not a matter of a single word.
"When Xihua and I have a good life in the future, I will pay for you to build a house." Lin Nuo promised.
