Grandpa is not the door-to-door son-in-law

Chapter 171 Daughter-in-law and Parents Pay the Bill

Cao Wei glanced at Wang Cuihua, heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile
"It's okay, it's normal for uncles and aunts to ask me this! Auntie, where is the normal bride price for us now, which is 10,000! I can't tell you about this because of my family conditions and various factors!"

Li Ting was a little dumbfounded when she heard that the bride price was 10,000+
"The bride price is over 10,000, isn't that what Cuihua said, and she just sold her daughter? Isn't the woman crazy? How can there be such parents in the world? It's so cruel! Thinking about it is unbelievable." Li Yu! How much income can you make per mu of land in a year! This [-]+ is not a small number!"

Cao Wei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thought that it was better not to ask my family how much income a year, otherwise it would be completely exposed, so he hurriedly said with a smile

"Auntie, we depend on the weather. If the weather is good, an acre of wheat can cost seven to eight hundred catties at most, which is seven to eight hundred yuan. If seeds, fertilizers and agricultural machinery are excluded, an acre can cost four to five hundred yuan." For money, an ordinary family only has five or six acres of land, and the annual income from the land is 800 yuan! If a man in the family goes out to work, the annual income is more than 500 yuan!"

Li Ting frowned, rolled her eyes, made a rough calculation, and said thoughtfully

"According to your calculations, marrying a daughter-in-law would mean saving money for ten years without eating or drinking! Fortunately, my two sons are married, otherwise I would be so worried! By the way! What you just said, still There are [-] to [-], why is there such a big difference between the two! What is going on here!"

Cao Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip, because he didn't know why this problem came up. What he said just now is his own. The bride price you will face when you get married in your hometown, as the saying goes, there are reasons why you are expensive, and there are reasons why you are cheap , I wanted to say something directly, mainly because of my family background, but it's a bit impolite to say this, because people don't know, so I asked myself, so I pursed my lips and said

"Auntie! The 10,000+ bride price I mentioned just now is mainly because the family is poor and the terrain is not good. Most of them are in the mountains. No girl is willing to marry there. Sometimes the woman uses the bride price to pressure the man to give up! There is another The second is that some women’s parents are more cruel and want to sell the girl as Cuihua just said, regardless of the future life of the daughter, and only care about their own immediate interests! As for the bride price of [-] to [-], this is mainly due to the relatively good family conditions. In addition, the woman's family background is also relatively good, mainly because the two young people get along well, so the dowry is just a symbolic point!"

Wang Cuihua heard that the poorer the family, the higher the betrothal gift, she wished she could grab the pillow beside her, flew over, and turned off Cao Wei, wondering if this kid was drunk with tea, why did he talk about everything, what kind of person he was? Family, don’t you know what to do, do you want her parents to give herself a gift of 10,000+, but the parents are there, so I can only worry about it, and I can’t do anything else.

Li Ting glanced at Cao Wei when she heard this, and said in an extremely puzzled way.
"That's not right! The bride price is just a tradition left by the older generation. Why did it become like this in your place? Besides, it is reasonable to say that if the family is better off, the bride price should be more, and if the family background is worse, the bride price should be less. , such words make sense, how come the poorer you are, the higher the dowry, and this daughter-in-law will be even poorer when she marries home. When will the two children be able to pay off the debt? As you said just now, your annual income , the family book is more than 1 yuan, and after more than ten years of hard work, I am afraid it is not enough for a daughter-in-law's gift money! Isn't this killing people?"

Cao Wei pursed his lips and smiled embarrassingly.
"Auntie!! You are right! Now in my hometown, if you marry a daughter-in-law, your family will be wiped out, and almost all married families will borrow money. After all, 10,000+ is not a small number! But As you said just now, such things as young couples repaying debts are generally not possible!"

Li Ting was stunned when she heard that the marriage debts were not repaid, because since ancient times, it is a matter of course to repay the debts. If you young couple get married, if you don’t repay the debts yourself, who will be waiting to repay the debts, so she was a little puzzled and said
"Didn't you say that people who almost get married have to borrow money, so how can they not pay back the money owed to others? Isn't this a dishonorable thing? This is because people help, let the money for marrying a daughter-in-law, and don't pay it back. Isn't this human?" There is a problem with the product!"

Cao Wei looked at Li Ting's disdainful expression, and thought that whoever doesn't know that asking for help is tantamount to shame, and who doesn't know that spending his money is comfortable!Whoever has money is willing to borrow other people's money humbly. He wanted to respond with a smile, so he let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"Alas! Auntie! If you say too much, you will cry! I don't know when, that sage said that marrying a son to a daughter-in-law is the duty of parents, so now in our hometown, no matter whether the gift is 10,000 to [-] or [-] +, as long as the married accounts are all paid by the parents, the young couple doesn’t care about a penny! Marrying a daughter-in-law for a son is not a marriage for the parents. Why should the parents pay for the daughter-in-law’s money? It’s hard to think about it angry!"

Li Ting looked at Cao Wei's extremely angry expression, and wanted to observe this young man from the side, whether he is a conscientious person, so she said with a smile
"Little Cao! Auntie, I love what you say! It's not about 10,000+, even if it's 5 to [-] yuan. For farmers who face the loess and their backs to the sky, they can save thousands of dollars a year, which is considered good. What's more, the children are married, and the parents are not young. It is very likely that some old couples will pay back the money for the son to marry a wife. I am afraid that the old ones will not be able to walk! I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back until you die! You say how there is such an ignorant woman in the world, it is a great tragedy in life! By the way! Then you will get married in the future, and if you borrow money, you are going to ask your parents to pay it back , or you and your daughter-in-law, the two of you will pay it back!"

Cao Wei glanced at Wang Cuihua when he heard this, thinking that your mother is a thief, and started to talk to me, so he said righteously

"Auntie! If I really borrow money when I get married in the future, it must be my wife and I who will pay it back, because my parents raised me and have dedicated the first half of their lives to me. They cannot spend the rest of their lives on me. If I donate it, I will be ashamed to see others! If I marry a wife like that, I would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"
