bride price
One
"Big goose—" came the broken gong-like voice of Sister Que dragging her crying voice on the other end of the phone, "I told you about Ai Ye's dead nun, I haven't slept all night!" You say what to do – I'm dying of rage! ”
"Be quiet!" I yelled in my throat, sister Chick's ears behind her back, talking to her like a quarrel, "Don't shout that the neighbors will hear!" ”
"This time it's a shame to be lost home!" What a sin I have made... Under the big bay, how can there be a face to see people... This indisputable thing..."
"Oh, what an age! It's no surprise! I interrupted her, "Think about what to do, the key is to solve the problem!" ”
"What to do, I'm fighting to the death of that little king eight lambs!" It's all him, the old little ones are not things! ”
"Come on," I snorted, "a slap doesn't make a sound!" It's useless to say harsh words, the most urgent thing is to make up the wedding - the most important thing is the bride price..."
"Right, right, right! Fortunately, you remind me that I am confused - the bride price is not according to the price I offered, and he is stupid and wants to marry someone! Ready-made example, when wormwood is married, the caravan is in place in one step, and the gift is 200,000 yuan. Ai Ye is a college student I attacked for tens of thousands of dollars..."
"You are marrying with honor and integrity!" Now that the people have passed and the children have been born, there is nothing left to hold on to them..."
"I don't care!" Sister Que scolded hysterically, "If his family wants to pick up a daughter-in-law, I will fight for my life!" That faceless dead girl, what a good deck of cards for her to break..."
"Okay, don't swear!" I quickly advised her, "People didn't say no." When Shusheng chased Ai Ye, didn't he say that he was the owner of the building, how many apartments there were, and only 200,000 was a fart! If he talks about decency, he will be happy and happy, the caravan is bought, the bride price is in place, we don't say a word, choose a good day to marry the girl... If you play a rogue, we are not easy to mess with, big deal, let Ai Ye come back! ”
That being said, I also play drums in my heart, who knows what Ai Ye thinks? If she didn't have a heart with her mother's family, and believed that the stupid big one would not turn back, things would be difficult. It is not our intention to break them up. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to demolish one marriage. Besides, people registered, although they did it secretly...
"Big goose, you first probe Ai Ye's tone," Sister Ai said, "you told her that you must stand on the side of your mother's house, we are really good for her, let her not be stupid..."
"Got it, I know how to say it." I hung up the phone and felt my ears buzzing for half a day, like a large swarm of long-legged mosquitoes flying around my ears.
Two
I have to say that the female eldest eighteen changed, and Ai Ye became a big girl with a water spirit. She had fair skin, large, dark eyes, pale yellow curls scattered over her shoulders, and a smile revealed two rows of white, neatly lined glutinous rice teeth, and a small dimple on the side of her cheeks.
"Aiye," I solemnly interviewed her with a straight face, "your mother knows about you, and she is so angry that she has not slept all night!" You are also too bold, lawless... The problem now is that you must make up the wedding right away, otherwise the child and you will not see anyone. Although the concept is now open, we are the homes of the old families, and we can't let the villagers poke their backbones! Your mother is a very strong person again..."
"I know," Ai Ye bowed his head, his hands folded together, and his voice like a mosquito, "I will tell him, everything will come according to the rules..."
"To follow the customs of the countryside, you must first pass the gift, buy five clothes, and then send the day, wrap the bride price; then take the wedding photo and buy three gold." The premise is to buy a house..."
"Well... I'm afraid his family won't be able to come up with so much for a while..."
"Didn't you say you were a boss before?" The boy's education is low, no formal occupation has also been accepted, if he can't even get the bride price, then what is he? You have to live a life in the future, no car and no house for you to run for a lifetime! Love can't be eaten as a meal..." I warned her of the difficulties of life as a person who came over. "Your second mother's daughter, who has only graduated from junior high school, has been introduced to her boyfriend, and the gift alone is 10,000 pieces, taking the meaning of picking one out of ten thousand." When you get married, you have a house and a car, and the bride price will be thrown at 200,000! No city is better than the city, you are a college student, the value is not as good as a junior high school student? ”
"What does it matter to me when I get married?" Passing through each other's days, whatever people think..." Ai Ye Willow raised an eyebrow, pouting like a gamble, and the face that was still smiling just now was instantly covered with frost.
"That being said, people want to face trees and bark!" I snorted coldly, "You have to figure it out, we want money as if it's very vulgar, but it's actually for you!" You have a house and a car, or do you enjoy it? Now the house price is so high, do not take advantage of the marriage to force the in-laws to give a hand, expect you two to save money to buy, it is not yet the Year of the Monkey? Besides, you don't want a penny to enter the door, isn't it cheap for him? Even your in-laws look down on you..."
"I didn't say no!" Ai Ye was shy and annoyed, and blushed, "It's not up to me." His family originally had money, but this year is not the epidemic, the construction site has not started, the preliminary project has not been swept away, can not pay money... Let's think about how to talk about it. ”
"Yes, this matter still needs to be sat down by the two adults to talk about." Well, set a time for the two families to meet. ”
Three
"Iron Head, you also go to this negotiation." I began to dispatch troops, "Brother-in-law Bird is not at home, let's go to a few more, and strengthen the position." ”
"What am I going to do?" My husband glared at me, "It's not a fight!" Besides, which onion is his family, and we are all sent out together? ”
"You have to go! Who called you a little uncle? Besides, you often handle cases, record confessions, and have a lot of experience in interrogation. This bargaining thing on the table really has to have a good mind. When the time comes, one of us will sing a red face, one will sing a white face, and there will also be a response! I heard that the seven aunts and eight aunts over there are all coming, and we can't be afraid of the scene! Aren't you the best at circling, and make your iron head work out! I touched his shiny bald head and quipped.
The location is set at the Juyuan Hotel. We both arrived, and so did the other. A tall middle-aged man with unkempt hair, followed by a short, short-haired woman, smiling and squinting, eyes narrowed into a slit. Listen to the introduction of Sister Que, this is the parents of the big one. There was also a man dressed in leather, his hair was meticulously combed, his shoes were polished, a pair of shrewd eyes were dripping and turning, and there was a sneering smile at the corner of his mouth--this was the third uncle, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt and the third concubine, with a few half-grown children.
After the greeting, everyone sat down separately. The eldest one sat with Ai Ye, and the mother-in-law held the child. The eldest father sat silently on the upper edge, and the third uncle always observed the situation. We sat down, the iron head cold face, shrugging eyelids; Sister Que stared at me expectantly, wormwood teasing the child. Ai Ye kept blowing his nose and pulling out one piece of paper after another.
"I'll get straight to the point," I cleared my throat and glanced at the third uncle, "to be honest, this thing is not done properly!" Children don't understand things, come by nature, don't adults understand things? You can't persuade or call home, after all, there are parents and fathers, and marriage matters have to be discussed... This suddenly carries a child home, no name and no points, what is the matter? ”
"Yes, yes Say it and shame people..."Sister Que was excited, talking and stirring up the machine gun, which made the glass turntable buzz.
"All right, Sister Sparrow." I waved my hand, "Now let's talk about what to do -- I don't go around the bend, first meet the gift, our rules, pick one out of ten thousand; then pass the gift, send the day, the bride price of 200,000 - of course, the premise is that the caravan is in place in one step... We also have to do guests here, so that everyone in the village knows that the Ai family marries a girl, and everyone lives a face..."
"After half a day of talking, it's a matter of money..." The third uncle smiled slightly and skimmed his lips.
"Isn't it natural to get married and buy a house?" Tie Tou opened his mouth unhurriedly, "The traditional customs of China are there, and this is not the rule of our family." Everyone is surrounded by married relatives and friends, have you never seen big pork or have you ever seen a big pig go? ”
"Yes, yes, wormwood is married to three media and six hired, and the house and car are all complete." Far from saying, her second uncle's daughter got married, the bride price was 200,000 yuan, and the man's eyes did not blink..."
"Mom—" Wormwood raised her head and shouted as she teased the child. She frowned, much as if pleading with her mother not to say anything more.
"What's wrong, it's illegal to talk?" People give 200,000 junior high school students, and I am a serious college student who is still so nestled! Books are read dog belly go! The more Sister Que spoke, the angrier she became, and she took a hard look at her daughter.
"Now it's a new era, and there are so many young people who get married first and then do gifts!" The third uncle took a puff of smoke, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces, "Since ancient times, it is to start a family first and then establish a business." Now rich people are not paid a fixed salary. As long as you dare to break in, the money is a lot of mix! Besides, we don't cheat or hide, it's a matter of consensuality..."
Ai Ye's face turned red, and she "hissed" out a piece of paper, lowered her head and blew her nose vigorously.
"Well," the big dad who had been looking down and silent looked up, his fist on the table, "on the first day of the wedding, the caravan was in place!" ”
"Good!" Tie Tou took over, "The big husband counts his words- choose the day first." ”
"200,000 dowries for the day of the package!" Sister Que pouted, with a look of indignation.

Things didn't go as smoothly as expected. We originally thought that since the man was talking happily, he must also act vigorously. It's not that the case at all. First looked at a few houses, always too expensive. The newly opened commercial houses do not look at a single place, and single select the second-hand houses with a small area to see. In the end, even Ai Ye was impatient. There was a fight between the two of them for the house viewing.
"Sister-in-law, I can see that his family has no sincerity in buying a house!" Ai Ye complained bitterly, "His parents are old thinkers, and they expect us to live in the countryside!" What the said, the country, want everything, live in the suite, drink the northwest wind all day? ”
"Didn't his father make up his mind in front of everyone?"
"Believe him a ghost!" Ai Ye's face twisted, "Businessmen' words, you have to cover your ears and listen..."
"What about the big man, he doesn't have a front with you?"
"He? "Hmm," Ai Ye sneered contemptuously, "he listens to his father for everything!" I don't have any money, where is the confidence? His father had the final say in his house. There are still two sons at the bottom, how can they be willing to take out all the money? ”
"So, you've lost a lot of money!" I couldn't help but teach her two sentences, "This raw rice is cooked and mature, and I want to hold on to others, where is the capital?" ”
"If you don't come according to the promise, no one can think about it!" Big deal divorce! Ai Ye gasped and gritted his teeth.
I was shocked. In fact, the bride price is to let the child live a good life, this idea is not our original intention. I quickly advised her to think better, as long as we have one heart, the caravan must be there. After all, the other party also hopes that the child is good, and if it breaks up, no one can get good, and the child is still involved.
Things dragged on like this. One day, Ai Ye called and said that the house was good, although it was not particularly liked, but it would be left. The other party's opinion is to pay a deposit of 30,000 yuan first and pay it off at the end of the year.
"No!" Sister Que resolutely objected, "If you don't pay it all at once, when the wedding is done, who will ask for money?" More is better than less, less is better than the present! ”
"I can't get cash for the time being," the big man repeatedly explained, "this year's epidemic, you know, the construction site can not be opened, the building has not been swept up, and the project funds cannot be allocated - this situation Is not unknown to Ai Ye." You can't beat the monk to death and shave your head, right? ”
"What if you don't get the money at the end of the year?" I asked, "Can I still buy a house?" And the car? ”
"Buy, buy, buy!" There will be..."
"When the time comes! When? Ai Ye yelled at him, "The promise has not been fulfilled!" It's all a bunch of liars! ”
"Who lied to you?" The big man blushed and stared at Ai Ye with a thick neck, "Didn't you say the end of the year!" Urge, urge, just know the urge! ”
"Well, no rush!" Ai Ye's face was as pale as a white paper, and she gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I-no--pass--this marriage, I will not get married!" ”
"No settlement!" The big man almost jumped up, his face flushed, the tendons in his neck stretched high, "It's not going to be moving, but it's not!" ”
"Whoever has been with you is the king of the bastards!" Ai Ye's body trembled, and his lips turned gray, "Let's divorce!" ”
"Just leave! We'll see you in court tomorrow! Dropping these words, the big man turned around and flew away in a hurry.

"Geese, something big has happened!" Sister Que called again in a broken gong-like voice, "Ai Ye that dead nun is divorced, stupid big put down the words to see you in court." This marriage is not yet married, and there is still a child in drag, but what to do? ”
"Ignore them," I forced myself to be calm, "are all children talking angrily, where is the real departure?" Let's not mess around and wait and see! ”
Just after putting down the phone, there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, Ai Ye came in with the child in her arms and a large bag. "Auntie, I'll come to your house for a while." Her eyes were swollen like a peach and her face was tired. In just a week, Ai Ye was much more gaunt, his hair had fallen a lot, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he had almost lost a circle of weight. I quickly took the child and settled her down.
"I really shouldn't have been so rash at the beginning, or as the saying goes, don't listen to the old man, suffer losses in front of you..."
"What else are you talking about?" Is there a regret pill in the world? Ai Ye lowered her head, and a strand of greasy hair shrugged down, covering her thin face.
"What's next?" I asked.
"Eat the radish and eat the peeling." She hung her head weakly, "This marriage is not interesting..."
"There is no good word for quarreling, no good fist for fighting, quarreling, and the days have to pass..." The words did not fall, and there was a knock at the door, and the door had just opened, and the big man broke in, with a hot wind.
"Aiye! You can't move and run, and you can't settle down in a circle of people! Dad said, the house payment is paid in one go! ”
"What about the car?" This one explains one to buy, tomorrow to say the next one to buy, is not to see the action! I watched it, and it was all bought on the lips! ”
"Definitely buy this time!" My mother borrowed 200,000 yuan, all of which were stored on the credit card... Hurry back! ”
"Loans —who believes?" Ai Ye snorted in his nose and skimmed his lips. But the tone had softened. I quickly beckoned the big man to sit down and drink water while helping to clean up. It wasn't until the family of three rode away that I was relieved. I called Sister Que and told her that the little young man was noisy and thundered, and that the rain was small, and not to take it seriously.
Finally got the house key. Then there is the purchase of a car, the purchase of three gold, the wedding photo shoot, and the engagement company. I estimated that in addition to the dowry of 200,000, the garage was not counted, and at least 100,000 were prepared for a wedding. On the day of the wedding, the big man's third uncle who mixed the world took the wedding car, and he became a good gentleman with a calm posture. When the relatives here stopped the groom and asked for the car ceremony, the third uncle was anxious.
"How much more?" He arched as he wiped his sweat.
"Five thousand!" AiYe's aunt Lion opened her mouth widely, startling Sister Que.
"Oops big sister! Spare him, more or less. The next car ceremony is generally enough for a thousand children and eight hundred, Ai Ye has a change fee at the door, don't be too difficult for others. ”
"Oh, brother and daughter-in-law! Does this protect the family? At this time, don't be ruthless, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”
"That can't be a foot bigger." We also have sons, and in the future, when we marry our daughters-in-law, we must not ask for my mushroom oil? Comparing people's hearts to their own hearts, I can't spend more than I want, and I don't have to let people gossip, as if our family sells their daughters..."
At the moment of discussion here, the third uncle over there was also calling for advice, only to hear him shouting at the mobile phone: "Forget it, brother-in-law!" It's almost this step, admit it! Who told you to have a son—and two more! I figured it out, wait for the three daughters-in-law to marry in the door, you and your sister are weasels drilling the chimney, and there is no hair when they come out! ”
