Can you believe it? A young man from rural China crossed a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers and married a young and beautiful Laotian girl with a high degree of education. In 2016, the two got married because of the Internet, and after 3 years of acquaintance, they resolutely got married.
At the beginning, their love was not favored by the people around them, and even they never thought that they would be able to get married one day. Even when the two had just gotten married, the Chinese son-in-law Xiao Wang spent 100 million yuan (Lao currency, a total of 70,000 yuan at the exchange rate at the time) to buy land and buy a house near the home of his Lao daughter-in-law Fangfang, just to please his wife.
Xiao Wang and Fang Fang
However, five years have passed, how are the two of them doing? Have they lived in the house they bought from relatives at the same time?
The most famous person in this issue will take you into this Sino-Lao transnational marriage and family, to see how they met, and those interesting stories happened.
Chinese rural guy
Xiao Wang is a post-80s guy born in rural China.
Xiaowang
The young man was handsome and intelligent, but it was a pity that he was not born in the family of a rich man. Since childhood, he has been plagued by poverty, and he has no extra money to develop hobbies, nor does he have enough time and energy to study with peace of mind. After graduating from high school, he went out to work with people from the same village to earn money.
When he was young, he was secretly approved by many girls, but almost no one was willing to talk to him about marriage.
Who would silently accompany a boy to grow up like he did on TV?
Xiaowang
Time flies, and the peers around him have returned to their hometowns to get married and have children. And Xiao Wang, who was about to run to three, was alone.
He put all the focus of his life on his work, became a small leader, and his salary gradually and slowly increased.
At this time, he began to think about personal problems. It's just that he never thought that he would find a foreign girl to marry.
和老挝姑娘相恋
It was a pure accident to meet the Lao girl Fang Fang. The story has to start in 2016, which is a love that originated in an online chat room:
At that time, Fangfang was an international student from Laos, who had just turned 18 years old, and looked young and beautiful.
Fangfang
The face is round and full, and the silky hair hangs down the shoulders.
She doesn't like to open her mouth very much because she doesn't speak Chinese very well. She likes to chat with Chinese people online so that she can practice her Chinese speaking skills.
Fangfang
She came to China to study when she was 15 years old, and she was surrounded by Chinese students. She has a great affection for Chinese, because her three older sisters are married to China. "Perhaps, I will also find a Chinese boyfriend. Young Fangfang fantasized in her heart.
In this way, she met Xiao Wang, a Chinese guy who also spent time and was lonely, in the online chat room.
The two chatted online without a match.
Fang Fang and Xiao Wang
Obviously, Xiao Wang fell in love with Fangfang at first sight. Fangfang also fell in love with Xiao Wang. But the two are too far apart, and they met on the Internet. No one was trying to puncture the window paper.
Soon, Fangfang ended her days studying in China and returned to her hometown of Phongsali, Laos.
Fang Fang and Xiao Wang
Three years have passed, and the time has come to see 2019. Just when she was about to forget Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang took the initiative to send her a message:
"Are you there? Are you still in China?" Fang Fang's heart beat so fast that she almost missed a beat, looking at the greeting message from the person she once loved.
Fangfang
The two got on the line again, and within a few days, the relationship quickly heated up to the point of heat.
"I'll look for you!" Xiao Wang said on the other end of the phone.
"How far are we?" Fang Fang thought Xiao Wang was joking.
Fangfang
"More than 3,000 kilometers. Xiao Wang calculated carefully, and a week later, he was standing at Phongsali Station with a dusty suitcase.
Fangfang was so moved that she cried bitterly and hugged Xiao Wang and didn't let go. In this life, except for her parents, it is almost impossible for anyone to love her like Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang stayed in Fengsha for more than a month. During this period, he went to Fangfang's house to meet his parents and bought expensive gifts for Fangfang's sisters and sisters.

Fang Fang took him and walked around the village proudly: This is my Chinese boyfriend, how is it?
The neighbors were smiling and grinning, but in fact, they were talking behind their backs: I heard that they met on the Internet, and it will definitely not be long-term. Even Fangfang's parents whispered to their daughter in private: You are a friend, we don't agree very much. I've never heard of anyone who has a good result in online dating.
Fangfang
But Fangfang wanted to prove it to them: Not long after Xiao Wang came to Laos, the two went to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, to get married. At that time, Xiao Wang was really shy and did not give his Lao mother-in-law a penny as a dowry.
originally wanted to hold a wedding for Fangfang, but the sensible Fangfang kept saying: Don't, don't, keep it for us to get married.
In this way, in 2019, Xiao Wang, a young man from rural China, married Fangfang, a Laotian student, without spending a penny of bride price.
Settle in China
At the end of December 2019, Xiao Wang returned to Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, China with his Lao daughter-in-law to settle down.
Xiao Wang rented a small rental house near the unit and lived a happy life with his wife. To say that the advantage of marrying a Lao daughter-in-law is that no matter how hard and tired she is, the Lao girl Fangfang does not dislike Xiao Wang.
Fangfang
Even for Fangfang, it can be regarded as a good life with Xiao Wang. Usually Xiao Wang goes out to work early, and Fangfang swipes her mobile phone, cooks, and does laundry at home. When Xiao Wang came home from work, the two of them crowded together at the dining table to eat and chat.
Fangfang
It can be said that with the existence of Fangfang, Xiao Wang can be regarded as having a sense of home.
In the second year of marriage, Fang Fang found out that she was pregnant after an examination.
Fangfang
At the beginning of 2021, Fang Fang gave birth to a mixed-race baby Xixi in China. Xiao Wang named the child Xixi.
Since then, Xiao Wang and Fangfang's lives have added another link. At the beginning, out of many considerations, Xiao Wang gave his child Laotian nationality, thinking that the child would have dual citizenship of Laos and China in the future.
After the child was born, Xiao Wang worked harder, thinking about giving his wife and children a better life.
Fang Fang and her daughter
I can't afford to buy a house in China for a while, but I can buy a house in Laos. In 2021, Xiao Wang took into account the cheap housing prices in Laos, and in the year of marriage, he bought a piece of land from a relative's family in Laos under the introduction of his mother-in-law.
It was the old house of a relative's family, and only the old couple usually lived. The young people of the family bought a new big house elsewhere and said that they would all move into the new house in the future.
Xiao Wang took a closer look at the old mansion, although it looked in disrepair, but the location was excellent. The main thing is that it is close to my mother-in-law's house. If you buy the land here, it will be convenient for the daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house in the future.
Xiao Wang knew that Fangfang felt sorry for her parents and wanted to protect her parents. Dare to ask which woman in this world is willing to leave home thousands of miles? It must be Fangfang who made a compromise for this. Since Fangfang is so understanding, Xiao Wang also has to think about her daughter-in-law.
Fangfang
The old house and homestead were priced at 100 million yuan, totaling 70,000 yuan.
Fangfang
Xiao Wang wanted to, but he couldn't get the money for a while. The mother-in-law made a guarantee from it, and asked the two young people to send a little money back every month, which was counted as installment payment.
Fangfang
In this way, little by little, I finally waited for the money to be enough, and the child was born. Fangfang and Xiao Wang plan to take their children back to renovate their house and settle in Laos.
Fangfang
In order to save enough money, Fangfang saved money in China and saved every income of Xiao Wang. They even sell Laotian tea through online platforms. She did all this to save money to go back to Laos to repair her house as soon as possible.
The status quo of the two
In February 2024, Fangfang will take the lead in returning to Laos to deal with the house. But as soon as she returned, she was dumbfounded.
Fangfang
Relatives still live in the old house and have no idea of moving out. She wanted to reason with her relatives: why did you still live in the house you sold me? But her mother held her tightly and didn't let her go. Looking at my mother, it means that relatives have the difficulties of relatives, and since people don't give it, forget it.
Fangfang
What's more, when they bought the land, Fangfang didn't get the deed at all. At that time, the relative's excuse was that the deed was mortgaged in the bank, and it took some time to get it. Because he was a relative and had his mother-in-law as a guarantor, Xiao Wang didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until 2024 that I was ready to go back and build a house and found that the house was not owned by me at all.
Fangfang couldn't help but call her husband and cry bitterly, and kept complaining that she had been deceived.
Although Xiao Wang was also angry, he still comforted his daughter-in-law.
Fangfang
He thought about it carefully, and the house and land he bought at the beginning were not the best choice in Phongsa. Now he has heard that the company is about to open a branch in Laos, and will build a kindergarten for employees. In this way, the problem of children's schooling can also be solved. At this moment, he is no longer entangled in the house in Phongsali, but pins his hopes on the company.
Fang Fang and Xiao Wang
If Chinese companies can develop in Laos, then there will be no shortage of welfare facilities. When the time comes, he will use the money in his hand to buy a company house and send his son to study in the kindergarten run by the company. In this way, the family can settle in Laos without having to idle a vacant lot in a mountain village.
On April 2, 2023, Fang Fang called her Chinese husband and said: My mother gave me 16 million Lao Yuan (equivalent to 5,000 yuan) today, and my mother-in-law meant to use the money to gag their mouths and make them stop going to relatives' houses in the future.
Fangfang
Fang Fang said angrily to Xiao Wang: I really want to ask my relatives why? But my mother just pulled me and didn't let me go.
Xiao Wang, the Chinese son-in-law, said generously: If you don't want it, just use it as bride price. Fangfang is still not very happy in her heart, after all, when she bought a house, she spent more than 100 million yuan (equivalent to 70,000 yuan), and now she is occupied by relatives. Now that her mother gave 5,000 yuan and wanted to send it away, Fangfang was extremely reluctant in her heart.
Fangfang
But every time she opened her mouth to mention the house to her mother, her mother always advised her: forget it. The reason is that the old people who bought the house for their relatives are reluctant to move out of the old house. The Lao mother can't erase it, and hopes that her daughter and son-in-law can endure this breath.
In the face of Fangfang's complaints, Xiao Wang said: I don't want this money. also comforted the Lao daughter-in-law and said: It should be a bride price for you. I didn't like this house in Phongsali either.
Xiao Wang and Fang Fang
Today, Xiao Wang and Fangfang's family of three still haven't been able to get their house and land back. We can only wait for the company to open a branch in Laos as soon as possible, so that it is possible to settle in Laos.
I don't know if Lao Fangfang has experienced such a thing, and whether she wants to go back to Phongsali, Laos to see her mother's family. After all, my mother's relatives are too inauthentic to do this. It's too much to collect all the money and not give people a house!
