Chapter 286
Li Mubao went to work the next day, and Zhou Yaping couldn't wait to run over before he could find a partner to discuss the bride price.

As soon as he met Li Mubao, he found that the subject's eye circles were red, "What's the matter, why are you crying? Is the child in your belly bothering you?" Li Mubao was at a loss, but it was really hurt.

"Why am I crying? You still don't know?" Zhou Yaping rolled her eyes at him, "Last night a matchmaker went to my house and told my parents that your family disagreed with the amount of gifts my family proposed. My father scolded me angrily. After a while, why don't you let me hang out with you." As he spoke, his eye circles became red again.

"Well, what about the child in your stomach?" Li Mubao didn't expect the old man to be so unreasonable, so he just refused to let the two of them live together, and immediately panicked.

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Yaping felt complacent, but still had a sad expression on her face, "Does your family look down on me? I know I'm shameless, but I just miss you. If I didn't miss you, I wouldn't have followed me." You got married and got pregnant with your child..."

"Don't say that. It's not that my mother looks down on you. Besides, it's all my fault. Don't say that about yourself." Li Mubao felt hot when he heard what his partner said.

He's thirty this year, not to mention dating, he rarely talks to women, it's no wonder he can hold back when this tender woman just opens her mouth and tells him she likes him.

Besides, he really felt that he was responsible for letting his partner conceive a child without getting married.

"Then why did your family just cut off the dowry in half, and said that you won't buy a bicycle anymore? How can you get married like this? If my neighbor's aunt finds out about this, you can't laugh at me. I can't get married or What's the matter, let your family ruin me like this." Zhou Yaping glanced at the man's reaction furtively, and then began to cry.

"No, I don't mean that. Really, you think too much."

"What does that mean? Please explain it clearly to me. If you don't explain clearly, let me tell you, Li Mubao, we're done playing today." But she put it on her lower abdomen protectively, always reminding Li Mubao that she was pregnant.

"Hey, don't cry." Li Mobao wanted to comfort her, and wiped away her tears, but she didn't dare to go forward.Now men and women are not allowed to have any intimate behavior outside, they have to keep a safe distance. "My family really doesn't have that much money, or my mother would have agreed to it long ago."

"You are talking nonsense. My father told me that you have been in the army for four years. Even if you have a small allowance, you have saved at least 200 yuan in those four years. And you have been working for a year. Every The monthly salary is more than 20 yuan, and you handed over to your mother without spending a penny, which is more than 200. If you do the math, you have a total of 500 yuan. Why can’t your mother afford more than 200 yuan as a bride price? Why can't you afford a bicycle?" Zhou Yaping blamed all these on her father, but in fact, these are all her own thoughts, and she is also responsible for this.

"That's not how the account is calculated. Although I gave my mother so much money, my mother has to spend it too." Li Mubao was a little dumbfounded. His old mother also settled the account for him yesterday, but it didn't match Xiaoping's figure. Ah, and the gap is huge.

"Your mother stays in the village every day. She just wants to spend money and has no place to spend it. How much can she spend?" Zhou Yaping didn't like the rural mother-in-law, so there was a bit of contempt in her words.

Li Mubao just thought about how to refute the target, but didn't pay attention to these things, "No, after I leave, there will be no labor in the family. My mother earns work points by herself and supports my younger sister. There is definitely not enough food, and I have to eat it every day. Use the money to buy some food supplements. Besides, my younger sister went to school last year, which is also an expense." He brought out what his old mother said yesterday and told his partner again.

Zhou Yaping's eyes widened. She really didn't know before that Li Mubao's younger sister, a rural girl, actually went to school. No wonder his old mother said she had no money, probably to save the little girl.

This is true, she has never seen anyone who doesn't value their son, but treats a girl as a treasure.

But she also knew that she was not yet the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she had no objection to the old woman spending money on her sister-in-law.

She rolled her eyes and said, "I wonder if your mother wanted to leave some dowry for your sister, so she said she has no money?"

"Impossible." Li Mubao replied not very sure, as the old lady is so rare about girls, it is very possible to leave some dowry money for the younger sister.

"Why not, I think that's the case. Think about it, you have given so much money to the family back and forth, even if your mother can't live, spend a hundred and 80 yuan to the end, then your mother will have money. Why can’t there be more than 400. As a result, your mother opened her mouth and said that she has no money, and she rejected my family immediately. She must want to leave money for your sister to save.”

"That's what it should be. My sister is young, so it's right for my mother to think more about her." Li Mubao was persuaded by his partner and thought it was very possible, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Zhou Yaping was almost not pissed off by his words, but now is not the time to get angry, she suppressed her temper, and said in a good voice: "Well, I think so too, but there is always a priority, aren't we in a hurry to get married now? , We can afford to wait, but I'm afraid he won't be able to wait." She touched her still flat belly as she spoke, looking like a loving mother.

"Why don't you go back and discuss with your mother, let her take out the money for our marriage first, and deal with my parents first. Anyway, my parents have said that the bride price and bicycles given by your family When I get married, I will use it as a dowry and let me take it back to my in-law’s house. Isn’t the money still ours? This will save my parents’ face and cause us no loss. After we get married, we can also give it to you together It's not right for a girl to save a dowry." Zhou Yaping's words are purely fooling people.

Li Mubao still didn't say a word, he couldn't open his mouth about this matter, it was more difficult than asking his wife for a bride price.He reckoned that if he dared to tell his wife that, she would kick him out of the house immediately, and would call him a white-eyed wolf, forgetting his sister when he has a wife.

Not to mention that although Li Mobao is a bit dull, he still knows his wife quite well.

Zhou Yaping is used to reading people's faces, and when she saw Li Mubao's constipation, she knew that he was cowardly again.She really wanted to rush up and tear up with her future mother-in-law, but she hadn't married into the Li family yet, and her name was not right, so she could only hold back her temper and let Li Mubao go.

"I know it's hard for you to tell your mother about this. How about I go back and talk to my parents, and ask the matchmaker to go to your house again and have a good talk with your mother."

Li Mubao still didn't say anything, he could think about what would happen if the matchmaker went to the house again, but he also wanted to get married smoothly, so he was in a dilemma.

Of course Zhou Yaping could understand what was going on in his heart. People who wanted benefits and also wanted to be a good person were the most hypocritical.But this man is already the man with the best comprehensive conditions that she can find. If she misses this, she may really have to find a widower or a bum.

After discussing the major issues, Zhou Yaping took Li Mubao to dream about the beautiful life after marriage sweetly, making Li Mubao limping, and then went back to work contentedly.
