Last night, before going to bed, my daughter-in-law asked me a question, saying that she was a college friend, already an elderly leftover woman, and she asked them a few in the group, whether she still wanted to ask the man for a bride price, how much was appropriate? On this topic, my daughter-in-law and I had a heated discussion.
My daughter-in-law: I think that love should not be measured by age, the bride price has been a marriage custom since ancient times, existence is reasonable, I think it should be given, and it is within the scope of the man's ability, the more the merrier, since, love then come up with sincerity.
Me: The customs that have been handed down since ancient times are not necessarily good, since the state has introduced policy restrictions, it shows that he has unreasonable places, love is not measured by money, love is managed with heart, how many people's marriages have failed on the bride price, how many girls have been poisoned by what soul chicken soup as long as they give a high bride price is true love.
My daughter-in-law: The parents worked hard to raise us as adults, and then they got married, and there was nothing left.
Me: Marriage seems to be a matter of two people, in fact, it is also a matter of two families, parents raise you as adults, don't you, when your parents are old, we will support them as children.
My daughter-in-law: Is there nothing there?
Me: You can be appropriate eight eight eight eight, pick one out of ten thousand. Show respect for the woman, the most important thing in marriage is to operate with heart, can not be persecuted by this "bad habit", there is no high bride price is not unlove, with a high bride price is not necessarily true love. Please leave love with some innocence. If, too much, it is better to directly say that your marriage is not pure.
Mom and Dad, stop arguing and go to sleep. A sentence from the little girl made us have a heated discussion and ended in awkward laughter.
Me: Daughter-in-law, let's get married, isn't there no bride price, isn't it true love? I said a little cheekily.
My daughter-in-law: Roll. Go to bed.
You think so.
