Spring has arrived, the earth is revived and dotted with green dots the wilderness, and the warm and baking sun is very pleasant on the back. But the two old Liu husband and wife, who are more than fifty years old, are not in the mood to enjoy all this, and these days they are worried about the bride price of their son Liu Dongdong!
The dowry money is 88,000, and there are more than 500,000 buildings in the county! Even smashing pots and selling iron can't afford it. Old Liu and his wife did not have a livelihood, only farming for a living, but these years they have provided for two college students! If you finish your studies, you haven't paid off your student loans! I thought that my son and girl had finished college, and the old two were bitterly happy. But the marriage of his son Liu Dongdong caught up!
Son Dongdong fell in love in college, a well-off family, and now graduated the woman's parents put forward a marriage request, saying that their girl and Liu Dongdong have been living together for three years, and now they have to get married after graduation. It is not too much to say that the woman's request is not excessive! However, the condition is: if Old Liu can't get the bride price, then Dongdong will have to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Have a baby with the woman's last name!
For these three generations of old peasant Lao Liu was really the same as he had destroyed him, and all his expectations had all vanished, and he felt that there was no meaning in his own life.
After going through the festival with relatives and friends, Lao Liu only scraped together the eighty-eight thousand dowry money, but the county's buildings could not get a single brick money at all! So the old Liu couple found their relatives with their sons and saw if they could have a discussion!
The atmosphere of the pro-family meeting was awkward, "Ye Brothers! You look at these two children, is this feasible? I can only scrape together enough dowry money now to let the children get married first, and then talk about the building after two years? ”
"Big Brother Liu! I shouldn't have forced you to come up with so much money! I also know the situation of your family, but my daughter is also the pearl in my hand, and I only have such a girl, you can't come up with the dowry and marriage fees, I am not embarrassed for you, I just want to marry your son to my family, is it only the son who can marry the daughter-in-law, can't the girl marry the son-in-law? Old Ye said.
"Ye Brothers! The rules handed down from the elders, I understand, this you married my son, then what should I do with these three generations of single transmission? Old Liu said.
"Then I can't help it!" I'm also for the kids! I don't know how many boys want it! But my girl has a crush on your son, and I can't help it! You have to go home and ask your son to go!" Old Ye said.
"Do you count me borrowing you?"
"I have never heard of a son getting married and borrowing money from the woman as a bride price, you mean I sent my daughter Bai to your home, giving you a million!" Do you think your request is reasonable or unreasonable? Old Ye said.
"This, this," Old Liu really couldn't answer!
"Big Brother! Go back and ask your son to go! I really can't agree to your request, and spread out thinking that no one wants my Ye family's children! Old Ye was angry.
Old Liu and his son had to leave brilliantly, and when they returned home, they called their son.
"Son! This marriage, you also know that our family can't come up with so much money at all, what do you think? ”
"Daddy! What's the point of doing that! What if she marries me? What an era, door to door! Liu Dongdong said.
stuff! Do you know what a door-to-door son-in-law is? Old Liu was angry.
"Isn't it just about having a baby and taking your mother's last name?" What's great, what is the surname that flows in the blood is also our family's genes! Liu Dongdong did not think so.
"You're a contrarian, you know what?" The day you plugged the door upside down was half cut off! You want me to die!" Can't I lift my head? You've read all these years! "Old Liu admits death!
"Daddy! Don't get angry! When we get married, what is the child's surname, and finally we are changing it back, don't we get it! Liu Dongdong wanted to persuade his father not to be angry.
"Hey!" Old Liu sighed. I know that I can't screw my son. But Old Liu was really unwilling and helpless to be poor.
Old Liu wanted to come and go, he had a relative in his family who was quite rich, and he was a brother of the Ben family who did not have five clothes! It's a big boss, so it's better to go to him and think of a way to go. Saying that he would go, Lao Liu carried some local specialties on his back and went to the brother's house in the provincial city.
When they arrived at the place, the brother received Lao Liu very warmly, but Lao Liu said something, and the brother said: "It is not that he does not lend to Lao Liu, but now his own situation is not good, and he can't come up with so much money!" If it is 120,000, it will also help Lao Liu! ”
Finally, old Liu gave up his old face and gave his brothers a kneeling loan! The brother wanted to borrow it, but the sister-in-law didn't do it!
"It's not me saying you, you're not afraid to fold our life like this!" No one's money is blown by the wind! You want to take hundreds of thousands of dollars when you kneel, and the eldest brother, brother, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law kneel for you, right? ”
Old Liu made a nose of ash, thinking that he should not do these things himself. I can't stand it! I had to admit it.
