On a sunny day, a grand engagement ceremony is being prepared. Zhang Lei and Lin Xiao, the couple who are about to enter the marriage hall, have happy smiles on their faces.
Their love story, like many romantic episodes, is full of sweetness and warmth. Zhang Lei is a down-to-earth and reliable young man, he loves Lin Xiao deeply, and he has been working hard to give her a better future.
Lin Xiao is a gentle and beautiful girl, and her feelings for Zhang Lei are also very sincere. Their love, witnessed by relatives and friends, gradually warmed up. The day of engagement finally came, and Zhang Lei's family and Lin Xiao's family all gathered together to witness this happy moment.
The hotel is beautifully furnished, with flowers and streamers decorating every corner, creating a romantic atmosphere. Zhang Lei was wearing a crisp suit, and Lin Xiao was wearing a white wedding dress, she was as beautiful as a fairy. The ceremony went very smoothly, and the parents of both sides expressed their blessings and expectations for the couple.
However, just when everyone was immersed in joy, a sudden storm broke the peace. When it came to the issue of bride price and jewelry, Lin Xiao suddenly proposed that she wanted a gold chain of 20,000 yuan. This request surprised Zhang Lei and his family. Zhang Lei knew that the family had spent a lot of money to prepare for this engagement ceremony, plus buying a house and other expenses, and the economy was already a little tight.
He tried to communicate with Lin Xiao, hoping that she could understand the situation at home and choose a gold chain with a relatively low price. But Lin Xiao didn't think so, she didn't think her request was too much, after all, this was an important moment in her life, and she wanted a beautiful gold chain as a souvenir.
After Zhang Lei's mother heard Lin Xiao's request, her face became a little ugly. She originally thought that Lin Xiao was a reasonable girl, but she didn't expect to make such an unreasonable request at this time.
"A gold chain of 20,000 yuan? This is too expensive, isn't it? Our family has already spent a lot of money for this engagement ceremony, where is there so much money to buy a gold chain now!" Zhang Lei's mother couldn't help but say.
Lin Xiao listened to her mother-in-law's words, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face. "Auntie, I just want a gold chain, it's not too much, besides, it's my engagement day, I want a better gift, what's wrong?"
"But 20,000 yuan is too much, our family really can't come up with so much money!" Zhang Lei's mother said helplessly.
"Then you go and find a way! I don't care, I just want this gold chain!" Lin Xiao's attitude was very tough.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Zhang Lei stood up. "Xiao, don't be like this, okay? You also know the situation in our family, 20,000 yuan is really not a small amount. We can choose a gold chain with a slightly lower price, or we can buy it later!"
"No! I'm going to buy it now! I don't want to wait for later!" Lin Xiao still didn't give up.
Zhang Lei's mother saw Lin Xiao being so stubborn, and the anger in her heart gradually burned. "Why are you so ignorant, this kid! Our family has already paid so much for your marriage to Zhang Lei, and you are still so unreasonable!"
"I'm making trouble, you're making trouble, you're making trouble, I just want a gold chain, you're so stingy!" Lin Xiao also replied without showing weakness.
For a while, the atmosphere became very tense, and parents on both sides began to blame each other. Zhang Lei stood in the middle, in a dilemma, he didn't know how to resolve this contradiction.
He loved Lin Xiao deeply and didn't want to affect their relationship because of this matter, but he also knew that it was not easy for his mother. At this moment, Lin Xiao's father stood up.
"Okay, stop arguing! Let's discuss this matter again!" Lin Xiao's father pulled Lin Xiao aside and said to her softly, "Xiao, don't be like this. You have to understand Zhang Lei and his family, they are not easy. Twenty thousand dollars is indeed not a small amount, and we can consider other options. ”
"But Dad, I really want this gold chain!" Lin Xiao said aggrievedly.
"I know you want to, but we also have to consider the actual situation! You will embarrass Zhang Lei and his family by doing so. Lin Xiao's father patiently persuaded.
Lin Xiao listened to his father's words, and his heart was also a little shaken. She knew she was asking too much, but she didn't want to give up easily. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I can do without this gold chain, but they must give me a satisfactory answer." ”
Lin Xiao's father nodded, and then returned to his seat. He told Zhang Lei and his family what Lin Xiao thought, and after Zhang Lei's mother heard it, the anger in her heart gradually subsided. She knew that Lin Xiao had already made concessions, and she didn't want to continue the stalemate.
"Okay, then let's discuss it again!" Zhang Lei's mother said.
The engagement turmoil finally calmed down temporarily, but Zhang Lei and Lin Xiao both left a shadow in their hearts. They know that their relationship has been tested to a certain extent in this turmoil, and they need to work harder to maintain and manage this relationship. In the following days, Zhang Lei and Lin Xiao began to re-examine their relationship.
They realize that love is not just about romance and sweetness, but also needs to face the test of reality. They decide to work together to overcome the difficulties and make their love more indestructible. After some hard work, Zhang Lei and Lin Xiao finally found a solution that was satisfactory to both parties.
They chose a moderately priced gold chain as a gift for their engagement. Although this gold chain was not as expensive as Lin Xiao originally wanted, it represented the love and commitment between them. At their wedding, Zhang Lei and Lin Xiao held hands and walked the red carpet to welcome their happy future. They know that they still have a long way to go in love, but they will go on bravely together, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will not give up easily.
