The first rich son-in-law
Chapter 732 bride price, dowry
"Jiang Lai, what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and pour tea for your Aunt Liu!"
Zhang Zongsheng immediately gave Jiang Lai instructions with a straight face.
Jiang Lai was originally a proud girl, and the lady's attitude just now made her feel very uncomfortable, but she dared not refuse to listen to her grandfather's order, so she walked over and poured tea for the lady.
In fact, this lady is the eldest wife of the Lu family, Lu Zheng's mother, Liu Hehua.Liu Hehua's natal family is also a big family in Yanjing, with assets of billions of dollars. Naturally, they are very picky, but they actually don't pay much attention to the Zhang family.After all, the Zhang family has fallen, and he feels that he is no longer worthy of his son.
In her eyes, if her daughter-in-law is not the daughter-in-law of those powerful families in Yanjing, she is at least the daughter of a consortium worth tens of billions, right?
What kind of thing is a daughter-in-law of a declining family?
How could she be worthy of her son.
However, the old man in the family had some friendship with Zhang Zongsheng and insisted on making peace with the Zhang family, so she had no choice.Today, I came to talk about the engagement, but also with resentment.
After Jiang Lai served tea to Liu Hehua, he quickly stepped aside.
Liu Hehua hadn't spoken yet, but a haughty woman suddenly spoke up.
"Your name is Jiang Lai, right?"
"I heard that you started a listed company before? Or did you make cosmetics?" The woman asked in a questioning tone.
This woman is Liu Hehua's eldest daughter and Lu Zheng's biological sister, named Lu Lu.Since she was the daughter of the Zhang family's concubine since she was a child, Lu Lu has a delicate air, just like her mother, most people don't pay attention to her.
"Oh, hehe, my granddaughter has pretty good abilities. I created a brand before, called Ketilai, which is quite well-known in Gyeonggi!" Zhang Zongsheng quickly helped his granddaughter speak, with a slight smile on his face. Some proud.
After all, Ketilai's current assets have reached one billion yuan, and it has even become the pillar industry of the Zhang family, and it is a well-known trademark in the whole country.For a girl, being able to make the company so big is considered a hero among women.
"Ketile?" Lu Lu looked disdainful.
"What brand? I haven't heard of it. I usually use Givenchy and Dior, but I don't know how to use products from small workshops!" Lu Lu had a contemptuous expression on her face, the kind she didn't like very much.
Zhang Zongsheng was stunned for a moment, his face was slightly displeased, and he naturally felt that he was losing face.But because I am an elder, it is not easy to show it.
"I didn't expect that my sister hadn't even heard of us Ketilai?"
On the contrary, Jiang Lai was a little unconvinced, Dang even couldn't help but sneered: "But yes, the age group that our brand is suitable for is usually between 20 and 25 years old. Sister, you haven't been in contact with it, it's normal!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Lu's face suddenly changed.
"Are you mocking me for being old and outdated?"
No matter how stupid she is, she can tell that this girl is just laughing at her!
"I didn't say that, it all depends on your personal understanding, sister!" Jiang Lai smiled.
"you!"
"Okay!" Liu Hehua quickly interrupted her daughter, but looked at Jiang Lai coldly.
"What a sharp-tongued little girl! She dared to quarrel with elder sister before she got through the door!"
"After passing through the door later, that's fine!" Liu Hehua shook her head.
"Old man, is this the family style of your Zhang family?" Liu Hehua said with a dissatisfied expression.
Zhang Zongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said to Jiang Lai with a straight face, "Jiang Lai, quickly apologize to your elder sister!"
"Grandpa, it's obviously her..."
"Why, don't you even listen to what Grandpa says?" Zhang Zongsheng suddenly widened his eyes.
Jiang Lai bit his vermilion lip, unwilling, but said coldly. "sorry!"
"Hmph! There really is a gap between this daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law, she has no quality at all!" Lu Lu sneered, but she was very proud of herself.
Jiang Lai clenched his fists and finally endured it.
"By the way, I heard from the old man that you have handed over the company, what are you doing now?" Liu Hehua suddenly asked again, with a critical look.
Jiang Lai thought for a while, and then said, "I still have a few cosmetics factories, and I'm currently developing a new production line, and I'm going to make a new skin care brand in the future!"
"What? Open a factory?" Liu Hehua frowned instantly, and immediately waved her hands, "Forget it, forget it, you are going to be engaged to our family soon, so don't open this factory!"
"What kind of family is our Lu family?"
"A daughter-in-law actually opened a small workshop. Telling about it makes people laugh!" Liu Hehua said directly in an orderly tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
"I'm not a small workshop..."
"Isn't it just a factory? It's not even a company, so what is it if it's not a small workshop?"
Lu Lu interrupted Jiang Lai directly, with a look of contempt on her face, "As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you have to abide by female virtues, how can you show your face in the workshop and spread the word, our Lu family can't afford to lose that people!"
"That's right, what my daughter said is right, get rid of your factory as soon as possible, and try to solve it before the engagement!" Liu Hehua said directly.
"Why, that's the factory I worked so hard to open..."
"Jiang Lai, don't be rude!"
Jiang Lai was very unconvinced and wanted to defend herself, but Zhang Zongsheng never gave her this chance.
"Auntie Liu is right. How can a girl show her face at will? I pamper you at Zhang's house, but when you come to Lu's house, you have to consider everything for the face of your husband's family, understand?" Zhang Zongsheng said coldly.
"Let's do this, you go back and hand over those factories to Zexu, that's the deal!" Zhang Zongsheng made a decision without giving Jiang Lai any room to turn around.
Jiang Lai bit his lip, feeling angry and stuffy in his heart, this is not yet married, the other party is so aggressive, if this is married, will there still be a good life?
"The old man knows the general idea!" Liu Hehua snorted coldly.But in my heart I am more proud.Zhang Zongsheng's attitude made her feel very comfortable, even her natal family didn't help this girl, so when this girl gets married, why don't she just let herself decide?
Lu Lu also had a sneer on her face, and she looked down on this future sister-in-law even more in her heart.
"By the way, old man, I came here today for the purpose of getting engaged. Regarding the dowry gift, I discussed it with Zheng'er's father. We are both high-end families, so we don't need so many vulgar gifts. Just give a symbolic 20." What do you think, old man?" Liu Hehua said to Zhang Zongsheng in a discussing tone.Although it is a discussion, it has actually been decided, and it will never be paid for a penny more.
"20?" Zhang Zongsheng frowned.
20 dowry is indeed a lot for ordinary people.But what kind of family is his Zhang family?Isn't this a shabby person?
"What? Does the old man think it's too little?" Liu Hehua asked with a half-smile. 20 is indeed a bit low, but she did it on purpose, because she was not satisfied with the marriage in the first place, so naturally she wanted to deliberately shabby the Zhang family.
"Jiang Lai, what do you think?" Zhang Zongsheng looked at Jiang Lai. After all, according to the customs of Gyeonggi, the bride price should still be handed over to the newcomer, and would not stay at her mother's house. It mainly depends on Jiang Lai's intention.
Jiang Lai didn't think it mattered, and never took the dowry seriously. After all, she could make money by herself, so she just said indifferently: "It's all up to grandpa, but since the Lu family only has a dowry of 20, then my dowry won't matter." More than 20!"
Equal trade, no bullying!
But hearing this, Liu Hehua's mother and daughter were not happy.
Especially Lu Lu immediately shouted: "That's impossible! What kind of family background does our Lu family have, only a dowry of 20? If this gets out, our Lu family can't afford to lose that person!"
Zhang Zongsheng immediately gave Jiang Lai instructions with a straight face.
Jiang Lai was originally a proud girl, and the lady's attitude just now made her feel very uncomfortable, but she dared not refuse to listen to her grandfather's order, so she walked over and poured tea for the lady.
