Jiang Yuzhu tugged at Xu Lei's clothes from behind.
You can't just agree blindly at this time.
Xu Lei is certainly not stupid, so how could he not know what his wife is thinking.
Besides, he is not a sucker. He will pay for anything that requires him to pay.
"Mom and Dad, you guys can handle fourth brother's affairs. I'll follow my two older brothers." Xu Lei's meaning was very clear.
As parents, you should take charge of fourth brother's marriage.
As for how much money I get, it’s the same as my eldest and second brothers.
"You..." The old lady was anxious. How could that be possible?
In this family, the third child has the best conditions.
They all worked hard in the fields to earn work points to make a living, only the third brother was paid by the government.
If he doesn't take the money, there's no way the fourth brother's marriage will be possible.
Mr. Xu stopped the old woman's movements and asked, "Big brother and second brother, what do you think?"
"I...we..."
Although I have this idea, I don't dare to say it directly.
Neither of the brothers dared to speak.
The eldest sister-in-law confronted the second sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law was so scared that she hid herself.
My sister-in-law was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to say." The eldest sister-in-law stood up.
"There are some things I've been holding back for a long time, and I can't get them out until I get them out."
Mrs. Xu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "What does this have to do with you? Just keep it to yourself!"
The sister-in-law was a little scared at first, but after hearing what her mother-in-law said, she was left with a feeling of grievance.
"Mom, why does it have nothing to do with me? Am I not a member of this family?"
"Didn't I work in the fields to earn work points?"
"I've been in this family for almost ten years, and my eldest child is already eight years old, and you're saying it has nothing to do with me?"
"Mom, listen to what you said yourself. It's so sad."
"I've been married into the Xu family for over ten years. Haven't I made any contributions, or worked hard?"
The old man knew that the fourth brother's problem was not so easy to solve.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Looking at the expressions of his sons, he tapped his pipe and said, "Since the eldest son's wife wants to talk, then go ahead."
“Everyone is free to speak their mind and talk about it.”
With the old man's words, the sister-in-law felt more confident.
"Dad, my fourth brother wants to spend 500 yuan on a betrothal gift to marry his wife. We absolutely disagree. Not only me, but also my second brother's family and I disagree."
The eldest sister-in-law grabbed the second sister-in-law and pulled them together.
But she can't face it alone.
"You...what do you want to do?"
"Are you going to just watch the fourth brother become a bachelor and do nothing? What are your intentions?"
When the old lady saw her two daughters-in-law stand up to oppose, she immediately put a accusation on them.
Regardless of whether she agreed to pay the 500 yuan betrothal gift, she was very dissatisfied with the attitude of her two daughters-in-law.
How can a sister-in-law be so useless?
Are we just going to watch our brother-in-law remain single and do nothing?
After all, he is Old Lady Xu's youngest son. Naturally, the old lady was dissatisfied with what two outsiders said.
"Mom, that's not right."
"It's not that we, as his sister-in-law, have to watch our brother-in-law remain single. The key point is that the Zhang family's demands are too much."
"Isn't this going to drain our entire family's wealth? We won't be able to live like this anymore."
"Why do you have to marry a wife who requires a 500 yuan betrothal gift? There are many brides who don't require 500 yuan. It's the fourth brother who is making things difficult for all of us brothers and sisters-in-law."
"Besides, didn't my family and the second brother's family both get married with a betrothal gift of fifty yuan?"
"What? Are we missing limbs or can't have children?"
"Can't we just live a good life?"
"Why is Zhang Xiulan different? She insists on asking for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan. How can anyone in this village get such a high price? Isn't this just a rip-off?"
"Mom and Dad, if you're biased and insist on giving the fourth child 500 yuan to marry, then... then we also want to compensate us for the betrothal money, otherwise it's not fair."
The eldest sister-in-law finished her words in one breath, and everyone fell silent.
Obviously, this is what they were thinking.
This five hundred yuan betrothal gift is really too much.
Even Jiang Yuzhu nodded repeatedly.
Old Mrs. Xu was already angry, and when she saw Jiang Yuzhu agreeing with the old lady's words, she even dared to nod.
"Old Third, you still have the nerve to nod your head? It was you who started the trouble. If you hadn't insisted on asking for a 500 yuan betrothal gift, how could Zhang Xiulan dare to follow suit and ask for such a high price?"
Ouch, Jiang Yuzhu saw that the war had come upon her.
"Eh? What does this have to do with me?"
"This is the fourth son getting married, don't blame me, it wasn't me who asked Zhang Xiulan to ask for 500 yuan for the betrothal gift."
"Why compare with me? My parents raised me so well, I'm so pretty, and I've studied for so many years. Five hundred dollars is a waste."
"Ask your son what kind of family I come from. My father is an eighth-level fitter, my mother is a textile worker, and my whole family are workers."
"My family has left me a house in the city to live in. Let alone five hundred, I can marry her even if I want one thousand."
"It's your Xu family who's taking advantage."
"What's wrong with me asking for five hundred?"
"Mom and Dad, what about someone like my younger sister? You've taken such great care in raising her, not even letting her do any housework. You've raised her to be so fair and tender. How much do you plan to ask for as a dowry? Can you just marry her off so casually?"
"I'm a city girl, and even though I've been sent to the countryside, if I hadn't fallen into the water, I wouldn't have married anyone so easily. My parents would have tried to take me back home. I'm the one who would suffer the most!"
