My friend originally planned to hold a happy event for his son on May 1, but when the day came, there was no movement. Later, I learned that because the woman's parents repeatedly put forward unreasonable demands, and if they did not agree, they threatened to withdraw from the marriage. The man was finally angered, decisively canceled the wedding, and the family drove away.
My neighbor, Sister Liu, used to be a colleague in one of my offices, and later the house was bought in the same building in the same community, the 12th floor of her house and the 16th floor of my house.
Colleagues and neighbors, we have become very good friends, usually whoever has something at home, they help each other.
Sister Liu's son Zhang Yue is 28 years old, more than 1.8 meters tall, sunny and handsome, and is a physical education teacher in a primary school in the city.
Two years ago, Ms. Liu bought her son a three-bedroom apartment with a down payment, and last year, Ms. Zhang's colleague introduced her to a relative's daughter.
The girl's home is in the lower county, and she is a beautiful preschool teacher, with parents and a younger brother at home.
The two children are also a good match at first sight, and the two have been in love for a while, to the point of talking about marriage.
The bride price on our side is generally 110,008, and the good conditions are 130,008.
The bride price in the county is relatively high, and the bride price proposed by the woman is 280,008, which is more than half higher than ours.
Sister Liu feels that her family is an ordinary family, and after taking out a bride price of two or three hundred thousand, she has to decorate the house and hold a banquet, which is a lot of expenses.
They found an introducer and went to discuss with the woman's parents to see if they could ask for less bride price.
The introducer ran several times, but it didn't work. The woman's parents are very hard, and the bride price cannot be less.
Zhang Yue also discussed it with the girl, but the attitude of the girl and her parents was similar. thinks that his classmates are married in the county, and the bride price is two or three hundred thousand, and he can't afford to lose anyone if he marries in the city.
The two sides also stalemate for a while, but Zhang Yue liked the girl very much, and finally persuaded her parents to make up enough 280,000 bride price for the woman.
The two children are not young, so the parents of both sides sit together to discuss the engagement.
However, the woman's parents asked for hardware, equivalent to 80,000 yuan in cash, and asked to pay it in front of relatives and friends at the engagement banquet.
is about to get engaged, and the woman has added another 80,000 yuan, Sister Liu feels the invisible pressure, feeling that such an in-law is not easy to get along with, and she is afraid that she will make trouble in the future.
Sister Liu and her son discussed with their son whether the relationship between him and the girl should continue, and the son said that the relationship between the two was very good and he didn't want to give up for 80,000 yuan.
Since the son was unwilling to give up, the parents had to agree, and they pooled 80,000 yuan to meet the woman's request.
On New Year's Day last year, Sister Liu held an engagement banquet for her son, giving the woman a one-time bride price of 280,000 yuan, plus 80,000 yuan of gold jewelry, and the two parties agreed that the wedding date was set for May 1 this year.
Soon after the engagement, although the two parties had not yet obtained the license, the girl stopped renting a house and moved directly to her future in-law's house.
Sister Liu and her family have not yet retired, and they are responsible for cooking, shopping, and cleaning after work every day.
Girls may be pampered at home, usually wearing clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths, and they don't wash their socks, let alone do housework.
But because she was not married yet, the future mother-in-law had to endure it, and only waited for the young couple to be single after marriage, thinking that it should be liberated at that time.
Soon after getting engaged, Sister Liu began to work on the renovation of her new house. The family's savings have almost been spent, and Sister Liu took some of the money from me.
As the saying goes, the blessed don't have to be busy, Sister Liu's old house in the urban village has moved.
Their family has two yards, one for their parents-in-law and one for their husband and wife, and after the death of their parents-in-law, the house was rented to a food company, and their own set was also rented out.
The urban village was said to be moved five years ago, but it was just talk, and people didn't take it seriously after a long time, but they didn't expect to start taking action at the end of last year.
Sister Liu's husband is an only son, and all the relocation expenses for the two houses belong to them.
In addition to getting some of the money, their family also asked for a façade house and a 90-square-meter living house.
The wedding house I bought for my son was originally a mortgage, but now I have paid off the full payment, and the whole family can wake up with a smile when they sleep happily.
The happy day of his son's wedding has been set, the hotel has also been set, everything is ready, and only one wedding is owed.
Sister Liu also joked with me, saying that on the day of my son's wedding, you can't just wait for the wedding wine, you have to help me take care of the guests, especially the in-laws.
The time soon came to the end of April, and before our local wedding, the family of the bride needed to ask for a job, which means to feast on the person who helped on the wedding day.
There are two meanings of asking for a job, one is that the chief steward arranges for others, and each is responsible for the matters on the wedding day.
The second is the wedding banquet booked in the hotel, and the treat on this day is also a taste, if you feel that the dishes are not suitable, you can also adjust them.
But it was the end of April, but there was no movement at Sister Liu's house, and nothing was done.
On May 1, Zhang Yue's wedding did not take place as scheduled, and everyone was speculating about what happened?
The wedding was clearly scheduled for May 1, but when the day came, the family was silent.
As a friend, I was nervous, although I was not at ease, but I was not embarrassed to ask, so I went to knock on the door of Sister Liu's house, but no one answered.
Until the evening of May 1st, Sister Liu sent me a video of them traveling by car as a family in Shanxi.
It turned out that there was a moth on the in-laws' side. Just after the wedding date was set, the family began to renovate the house.
According to the rules on our side, after the woman asks for the bride price, there will be a dowry, some will be a dowry car, and some will be a dowry of household appliances.
When decorating, arrange the furniture and appliances in the marriage room, and you need to negotiate with the woman to reserve the placement of the woman's marriage.
The woman's bride price is higher than ours, and Sister Liu thought that even if the woman didn't accompany the wedding car, at least she would have some household appliances.
When asked about the dowry, the woman said that the only dowry they had was bedding and some daily necessities.
The woman's parents even accused Sister Liu, saying that their family was not without money, and they cared so little about the woman's marriage. The family raised the girl so big, and everyone married into your family, and there are so many things.
Although the two parties had a very unpleasant quarrel about this, they did not delay the progress, and all the facilities in the marriage room were arranged by the man.
Just when the two parties agreed on some details of the wedding, the woman's parents made an even more bizarre request.
They demanded that in order to get married, they must have a marriage house that belonged to their daughter.
Sister Liu's family was demolished and asked for a living house and a façade house, and the houses were all in the names of their husband and wife.
The son's wedding room is also full payment, and the name is Zhang Yue's. The woman's parents felt that the other house should belong to their daughter.
To put it bluntly, their family added a house in addition to the bride price, the reason is to give their daughter a guarantee.
Of course, Sister Liu and her husband will not agree, the house is exchanged for their ancestral property, and it has nothing to do with the woman.
If you ask for hundreds of thousands of dowries, you don't have to marry, the wedding date is set, the banquet is also set, and now you want a house, isn't this vexatious?
Sister Liu and her husband had no choice but to discuss with their son to see how to deal with this matter.
Zhang Yue discussed with his girlfriend again, the house belongs to his parents, even if he doesn't want a house, his parents can't take it away in the future, but he can't make sense with the girl at all.
For the sake of this relationship, Zhang Yue decided to take a step back and agreed to add the girl's name to the book of his own marriage room, but still did not convince the other party.
The woman's parents believe that the existing house is just a matter of changing the name, and they can't take it away, so that they can live a more reliable life after marriage.
Here, Sister Liu and her husband no longer want to give in, after all, the house is not a cabbage. Today's young people are not strict about marriage, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
The house was their family property, and they resolutely disagreed with the matter of giving the woman a house, and the two parties had a stalemate again.
The woman's parents believe that the man has spent so much money, the wedding date has been set, the banquet has been set a long time ago, and even the wedding party has been found.
Besides, the two children have been together for a long time, and it is expected that the man will not dare to withdraw from the marriage. So I never let go, and I didn't agree to talk about the wedding.
Sister Liu asked her son's opinion, Zhang Yue wanted to find a breakthrough with her fiancée, but the girl thought that everything should be arranged by her parents.
Zhang Yue was annoyed, and he decided to give up the relationship.
After giving his fiancée the last in-depth conversation, seeing that the other party still didn't let go, he gave up and canceled the wedding, and drove his parents on a trip on May 1.
A marriage that was originally a good marriage was terminated because the woman repeatedly asked for it, and a relationship came to an end.
Boys give up love just to protect their own interests, and girls give up love in order to get greater benefits.
In fact, the guarantee is given by one's own strength, and if you want to get protection from others, you may lose more.
Of course, all this stems from the fact that both parties are too realistic and not loving enough.
Boys love enough, what is a suite? Girls love enough, it doesn't matter if you don't have a room!
