However, the girl's family can casually ask for the dowry, but for the man's family, whether it can afford it is another matter, how many family conditions are not generous in the face of the high dowry proposed by the woman's family and are unable to deliver it in full, so that the marriage between the two falls into an embarrassing situation. In rural areas, there are many cases in which the man's family cannot meet the bride price request put forward by the woman's family and withdraw from marriage or two young people who are in love with each other.
The following rural youth was forced to part ways with his sweetheart due to the high dowry, from a lover to the most familiar stranger, listen to what he said.
Example, 29-year-old rural young man Xiao Li
Xiao Li, who is already twenty-nine years old this year, is already considered a late marriage among his peers, and many of the hair children who grew up with him have become fathers. Speaking of the reason why he still has not married and started a family, Xiao Li talked about his unforgettable first love in addition to being sad. When he was twenty years old, he began a formal relationship with Xiaomei, who grew up from a small piece, and in the eyes of the villagers, Xiao Li and Xiaomei were also a pair of lovers, and they always had endless topics when they got along. Later, Xiao Li and Xiao Mei both went to the southern coastal cities to work, entered the electronics factory, and started from the assembly line. In this process, Xiao Li's parents watched the two have a stable relationship and urged the two to make time to hurry back to their hometown to get married, but a wish of the elders in the family.
But Xiao Li and Xiao Mei, who are emotionally stable, have plans for the two of them, and the excuse is not in a hurry to delay the marriage event again and again. Seven years later, the man's family was really anxious, and at the end of the year, when the two young people returned to the village together for the New Year, they proposed a plan for the two to set the wedding date and complete the major events in their lives. Xiao Li also feels that Xiao Mei has been in love for seven years, and should draw a perfect end to this relationship. Therefore, after consulting with Xiaomei a year later, Xiao Li carried the gift box to the woman's home to propose relatives, and the woman's parents also felt that the feelings of the two were ripe and fell, and agreed to this family affair, but the premise was that Xiao Li would prepare a dowry of 100,000 yuan, and the rural areas called the dowry.

In desperation, Xiao Li and Xiao Mei's parents agreed to prepare a full bride price at the end of the year and come to the door to propose to them. In the process of Xiao Li and Xiao Mei continuing to work in the southern city, once, Xiao Mei received a call from her parents to go back to a trip, did not think, this time her parents let Xiao Mei rush back on the grounds of emergency, it turned out that she was good at advocating, and gave Xiao Mei Xu to a young man in a neighboring village, and the young man prepared the dowry money of 100,000 yuan requested by the woman's family on the day he saw Xiao Mei, out of the persecution of his parents, Xiao Mei should do this family affair. And through the phone, informed Xiao Li of the news, that night a person in the southern city of Xiao Li drunk a mess.
Xiao Li, who has endured the pain of the breakup, has since hidden his feelings deeply and tried to work alone in the city, because the facts tell him that there is no love without money.
