Chapter 217 Five Hundred Yuan Bride Price
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Are you crazy because of poverty? You are not marrying off your daughter, you are selling her!" How could a country girl have the confidence to ask for so much money?
How could the old lady be willing to spend 500 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law? If she was sure, she wouldn't let her son be unmarried in his thirties.
Based on Dalong's conditions, if the old lady were to marry him, she would definitely pay a high bride price. No one would care about the rumors that he was unlucky in marriage.
"You're talking nonsense! Who said you were selling my daughter? You should understand clearly that it was your son who bullied my daughter. It wasn't our Xiaoju who insisted on marrying your son. Since we can't reach an agreement, then let's just call it your son's crime of being a hooligan." The girl knew that if she didn't take down their family this time, her daughter would never be able to meet such conditions in the future.
Now that my daughter's reputation is gone, no one would be willing to marry her even if she continues to stay in the eldest daughter's home.
Besides, the eldest son-in-law is already angry, and it is impossible for him to let the younger daughter stay here any longer.
"Don't be angry, Yue Fei. This betrothal gift is due. I agree." Dalong didn't want to go to jail.
He also realized that his future mother-in-law was not a good person. If the marriage was not concluded today, some trouble might arise.
"Are you stupid? Five hundred dollars!" The old lady really wanted to slap her son a few times, thinking his brain was filled with water.
With their family's situation, these five hundred dollars will be wasted, and there is no way they can bring it here.
"Mom, please listen to me this time. I'm over 30 years old and I want to do things on my own." This was the first time Dalong said this to the old lady.
The old lady seemed to have no reaction and looked at her son in surprise. Was he...blaming her?
"I don't care, do whatever you want!" The old lady went into her room.
Dalong was afraid the atmosphere would become awkward, "Yue Ni, Xiao Ju, I'll take you to my room to have a look. Xiao Ju, please tell me if there's anything else we need. We can find some time to buy everything."
After achieving her goal, Juju had a smile on her face and was in the mood to look at her future home.
The girl also went in to take a look and nodded with satisfaction. It was bigger than the eldest daughter's room.
Daju was also satisfied. She felt that she was now more capable than her elder sister. Her elder sister's house was not as big as Dalong's. Moreover, Dalong was the class monitor and his salary was higher than her brother-in-law. A smug smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, you two should get the marriage certificate quickly, then Xiaoju won't have to live with her elder sister anymore." Xiaoju also wanted to get the betrothal gift quickly.
"Hey...hey!" Dalong was obviously happy.
Dalong wasn't the type to be incapable of judging a person's appearance. "Wait a moment, Yue-niang! I'll get the betrothal money for you."
The woman and the boy stayed in Dalong's room. Dalong went to his mother's room and said, "Mom, give me a thousand yuan."
The old lady was depressed when she first came in. When she heard that her son wanted to ask her for a thousand yuan, her eyes widened immediately.
"Mom, don't be angry. Your son will earn money for you in the future. Let me marry a wife first. You are also waiting to hold your grandson." Dalong is in a very excited mood and will be able to hug his wife to sleep soon.
"Isn't it five hundred yuan? Why is it one thousand now?" Although the old lady was not happy, she knew that she could not stop her son from marrying Ju.
"Mom, we still have to hold a wedding banquet, and I should buy some things for my room. Just give me a thousand first, and I'll get you the rest." Dalong coaxed his mother.
"That won't cost a thousand. Eight hundred yuan is enough!" He said and took out eight hundred yuan.
Dalong knew that this was his limit, so he took the money and left.
"Yuan Ni, this is the betrothal money, please count it." Dalong was not stupid either. He gave five hundred yuan to Yue Ni in front of Jue Ni.
When the girl saw such a pile of money, her eyes lit up. He must be a son-in-law from the city. Seeing that he took 500 yuan without blinking, he must have quite a lot of wealth at home.
Seeing her mother counting the money, Xiaoju felt uneasy, wondering how much money her mother could give her.
She would have to ask her mother later. She was not as stupid as her elder sister who was sent away with just a piece of clothing.
After the matter was discussed, the old man took his people to the home of his eldest daughter.
An Jianmin had already gone to work, leaving Mei and the children at home.
"Mom, you guys are here."
"Well, that's good. Your sister's marriage is settled. You two sisters will have someone to take care of you in the future."
Looking at her mother, who had the money hidden tightly in her pocket, Juju could no longer contain herself and said, "Mom, you'd better let me keep this money."
"What is this?" The old lady looked at her little daughter in surprise.
The two brothers were also stunned, but the second brother was smarter and held down the eldest brother who wanted to speak. They couldn't offend the younger sister too much now. After all, the eldest brother was a squad leader. If they wanted to become masters in the future, they would need the help of the eldest brother.
"Mom, won't you leave this betrothal money for me to keep as a treasure?" Although she is not my biological mother, I have more than one daughter, I also have an older brother and a second brother.
Juju was not stupid. No matter how much her mother loved her, she could not surpass her elder and second brothers. The money would belong to them in the end, and she, a married woman, would not be able to get any share.
"Xiao Ju, when your elder sister got married, I made her a dress. The same goes for you. Mommy will take you to the mall to buy you a set of clothes when you get married. I guarantee that you will get married in a decent manner." Mom thought this was already pretty good, because her eldest daughter didn't have this treatment.
This is not what Ju Ju is looking forward to. How much does the clothes cost? What she cares about is practical money.
Money is the confidence.
