When a daughter is getting married, the parents who love her daughter will prepare a rich dowry for her, hoping that she can live a happy life after marriage.
That's how Zheng Haibo planned for his daughter.
Zheng Haibo and his wife have only one daughter, Xiaowei, and they have doted on this daughter since childhood. When she was in college, her daughter fell in love with her high school classmates, and the two ran in love all the way, studied at the same university, and were admitted to the graduate school of the same school.
After the job stabilized, the two began to talk about marriage. The man's family conditions are on par with Zheng Haibo's family, and he is slightly richer, so he has already bought a 140-square-meter house for his son, and said that he can decorate it completely according to the woman's preferences, and the bride price will also be given a lot.
After all, after talking about it for so many years, the man's parents have long decided that Xiaowei is their daughter-in-law, and they are naturally not stingy in terms of bride price.
Zheng Haibo saw that the other party's parents were so sincere, thinking that he couldn't marry his daughter empty-handed, after all, there was only this one daughter, and everything in the future was not hers, so he planned to give his daughter a house that he bought a few years ago for investment. At that time, the price of this property was relatively low, and now the house has increased a lot.
The couple thought to themselves that even if their daughter couldn't live there, they could rent it out to increase their income. In the future, if you have a child and want to change the school district house or something, you can sell it and replace it with a new house. Moreover, giving her daughter a set of dowry rooms is also a kind of confidence, so that her daughter will not be bullied after marriage.
In addition, they also plan to give a full set of household appliances to their daughter in the new house, and give their daughter 200,000 cash as a dowry, after all, in the future, pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a baby will cost everywhere, prepare more for her daughter, and she will be easier in the future.
The man's family is also very happy to know, although they don't plan to ask the woman to marry anything, but the woman's parents can be so aware of the righteousness, which also shows that there is nothing wrong with marrying this in-law family. With such enlightened parents, how can a daughter be bad?
Originally, the two families had a good discussion, and Zheng Haibo didn't think there would be any problems with this matter. But I didn't expect that the matter of the marrying house somehow reached the ears of my parents.
Parents have always been a bit patriarchal, and after they married their wives, they only gave birth to one daughter, and their parents have always had opinions, favoring the eldest brother who has a son. The family's homestead and farmland were given to the eldest brother, and he didn't say anything, after all, he was not an incapable person and could work hard with his wife.
Over the years, because parents don't want to see their daughters and are worried that their daughters will be wronged when they go back to their grandmother's house, they rarely take their daughters back. The parents never said they would go to the city to see their granddaughter.
This time, when I heard about the dowry room, the old couple rushed here in a hurry.
After entering the door, there was no politeness, and he asked directly: Are you going to marry your daughter to the new house you bought a few years ago?
He bought the house at that time, and the family knew that before he bought it, he also persuaded his eldest brother that it was best to prepare in advance, make a down payment, and give it to his nephew for marriage in the future. The eldest brother asked him to buy a house for his nephew with 500,000 yuan, and said that he had no son, and he would have to rely on his nephew for the elderly in the future.
Because of this, he quarreled with his eldest brother and broke up unhappily, and he didn't speak for a long time after that.
So now Zheng Haibo doesn't need to hide it, and replied directly: Yes, there are dowry houses in the city, and we can't help but give our daughter a dowry.
The mother said directly: Just marry a few quilts, it's really not okay to buy her an electric car, how can there be a wedding house.
Zheng Haibo's face darkened when he heard this: How can there be a few quilts to marry now?
Mother disagreed: Who said no, your niece got married last year, didn't she just marry with a few quilts, and your daughter is expensive?
Zheng Haibo thought to himself, and was embarrassed to say that the eldest brother's daughter got married last year, and the brother and sister-in-law not only withheld the bride price of the niece, but also did not even buy the three major pieces of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. He didn't want his daughter to get into trouble with his son-in-law because of this after she got married.
The wife couldn't listen to it anymore, and retorted: My daughter is Jingui, which I pampered and raised, and the house is also earned by myself, I can marry whatever I want to marry my daughter!
Zheng Haibo's mother said: How can my daughter-in-law intervene when my mother-in-law speaks, you shut up for me!
The wife is not to be outdone: I want to say, what can you do with me, do you have the ability to make your son divorce me?
The mother-in-law was so angry that she pointed at her daughter-in-law and couldn't speak. My father-in-law also spoke at this time: We came to tell you about the wedding room this time, our old Zheng family's house can't be cheap for outsiders, this house can't be given to Xiaowei's girl, it has to be kept for my grandson.
Zheng Haibo said: Your grandson is not my son, what does it have to do with me, he wants a house, and he wants to go to his parents.
The father-in-law said: Even if it is not your son, it is the only male in our old Zheng family, and he is the eldest grandson of our family, and you as an uncle must also consider the descendants of our family.
Zheng Haibo's wife smiled: "You can buy a house for your grandson in the long house, you can't even afford a house for him, what kind of big family are you pretending, and the eldest grandson of the long house, the poor jingle sounds, and you think that the family has a throne to inherit, it's really funny!
The father-in-law was also dumbfounded by his daughter-in-law, so he had to play the family card for his son: Haibo, I am at this age, just this one grandson, I will count on him in the future, and you also know that your eldest brother is incapacitated and can't afford to buy a house for your nephew. Now there is no house in the village, and you can't marry a daughter-in-law, you can't bear to watch your nephew beat a bachelor, then our family will be extinct, and I will die in the future, how can I see the ancestors of the old Zheng family!
He also left two tears in his eyes.
Who knew that Zheng Haibo was completely unmoved, and said: If you die in the future, I can buy you a cemetery in the cemetery, and you don't need to go to see your ancestors and ancestors at home.
"You unfilial son!" the father-in-law was angry, and he was about to beat Zheng Haibo.
The wife hurriedly stopped and said: You can think clearly, if you beat someone and leave a case record, your eldest grandson will have no chance of taking the public examination, my daughter has a job, and your grandson is still working hard.
The old man was going to be so angry that he had a heart attack, and said: Lao Tzu beats his son, who can control it!
The wife continued: In a society governed by the rule of law, no one cares whether you are a father or a son, you can take it easy.
The father-in-law was so angry that he couldn't help it, and began to threaten again: You don't even have a son, can this girl be relied on when you are old? Don't you have to count on your nephew, you are not good to him now, and when you die in the future, there will not even be a person to carry a flag for you, and he will not let you enter the ancestral grave.
Zhang Haibo sneered: I can't count on my eldest nephew, to be honest, my son-in-law is much stronger than him, and it is not as reliable to count on him as my daughter and son-in-law. As for what happens after I die, you don't have to worry, I'll be burned to ashes and scattered into the sea!
Seeing that his son would not eat oil and salt, his father threatened again: Do you want to cut off relations with us for a house?
Zheng Haibo said: If you want to sever the relationship, it is also your second elder to cut off the relationship with me for a house, and besides, I am not filial? Who is the one who gives you living expenses every month? Is it your filial eldest son? If you think that not giving birth to a son is unfilial, then ask your precious eldest grandson for your living expenses in the future, and see if he can change it.
Zheng Haibo looked at his unreasonable parents, became more and more cold, and issued an eviction order: Your own money, how you are willing to help your eldest brother is your own business, but if you want me to give the money to his son, it is impossible. I can tell the difference between relatives and relatives, and my daughter is closer than anyone else. You two go, I'll take care of it when I lie in bed in the future, but I won't give the money anymore, if I think I'm not filial, I'll just have a clear conscience.
The old couple saw that the house could not be reached, so they had to leave unwillingly.
The wife looked at her sober husband and was extremely glad, fortunately her husband was not a foolish man, and he had not been wronged because of the problem of giving birth to a son over the years.
