Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Chapter 122

"I'm afraid this bride price is a bit inappropriate..."

Yi Zhonghai muttered softly.

He liked Qin Huairu very much, but Jia Dongxu and his family couldn't afford the price offered by the Qin family!

"Our married girls, whether they are married to the city or married to the village, basically have this much. You said, if we follow the one hundred thousand yuan you said, we will have to be stabbed in the back when we return to the village."

Father Qin actually didn't want that much.

Five hundred and fifty thousand, the lowest price is five hundred thousand.

He guessed that the other party would have to bargain.

After discussing it back and forth, we might finally let go of the [-] yuan, and I would not suffer any loss.

"If you say that, we can't talk about it."

Jia Dongxu directly interjected: "We only need [-] yuan as a gift to marry a city man, and I will spend [-] yuan to marry a rural man. If others find out, they will have to poke my spine!"

"Dongxu!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped him.

He knew that Jia Dongxu still wanted to marry someone from the city.

After finally persuading him, the Qin family still offered such a high price, so he must have wanted to give up.

"Master..."

Jia Dongxu groaned.

"Young man is ignorant. I'll talk to him again."

Yi Zhonghai explained to Qin's father with a smile, and then pulled Jia Dongxu out directly.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to marry or not?"

"The bride price given by their family is too high!"

Jia Dongxu muttered in a low voice: "If I marry someone from the countryside, I will give him so much money, so why should I bother? I am a regular worker now, why can't I find someone in the city?"

"Can you find it? Tell me if you can find it?"

Yi Zhonghai immediately became anxious.

"Your family has gone on blind dates with Matchmaker Wang three times, and has completely offended both the matchmaker and the lesbians who are about to get married. Let's not talk about anything else. I'm going to find you someone in the city right now. When people hear your name, Jia Dongxu, they won't even see you. you."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he lowered his head instantly.

"Besides that Qin Huairu is from a rural area, what's the difference? You can tell me. She graduated from junior high school. She looks like she can endure hardship. She needs a good figure and good looks. She is more than enough for you."

"Master, you know our family's situation, the gift of [-] yuan. We definitely can't afford it!"

The question raised by Jia Dongxu made Yi Zhonghai fall into deep thought.

"Don't we have to talk about this? Five hundred and fifty thousand is indeed a bit too much. Their family wanted to marry their daughter here because they wanted to go to the city. In fact, they are more afraid than we are of not being able to get married!"

"What you said makes sense, Master!"

Jia Dongxu laughed when he heard this.

In fact, he also coveted Qin Huairu's body.

But of course he also thought it would be better to be a free hand.

"Okay, let's go back first. Don't talk, just listen to me, okay?"

"Understood, Master."

The master and apprentice sat back in their seats again.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly turned into a smiley man and said, "We just discussed it, and the betrothal gift will be as I said, one hundred thousand yuan."

"What do you mean?"

Father Qin's eyes became very sharp.

"Marriage in the city must of course be done according to the rules of the city. If you really don't agree, then I have nothing to do but say that these two children are not destined."

Yi Zhonghai's expression was very confident.

"You have to know that our girl has gone to school!"

"We, Dongxu, have just graduated from junior high school!"

"But you have to know that if my girl doesn't get married, she will go to work in the steel rolling mill."

"Let me tell you this. The recruitment of the steel rolling mill is mainly for fitters and forgers. If there are men, they will definitely not want women."

Qin's father glanced at Qin Huairu and asked in a low voice, "Is what he said true?"

"It seems so. He is an old master in the steel rolling mill."

In fact, Qin Huairu wanted to change her life by getting married more than going to work.

The hardships in steel mills are not something ordinary people can bear.

What's more, she is a woman.

When you work as a temporary worker in a steel factory, you don't know when you will be able to make it.

But it's different when you get married, you fly straight into the sky.

Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have fooled her so easily.

"That one hundred thousand is too little."

Qin's father still wanted to raise the price. After all, the family's fortune had declined a lot due to policy issues.

When her daughter gets married, she needs a lot of betrothal gifts. Apart from the money for her son's education, the remaining money can make her life easier and faster.

"One hundred thousand is really a lot."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Think about it, you don't have much money to spend in the countryside. How long will you have enough to eat with all these gifts?"

"Don't really think that the expenses in rural areas are small. Although my girl is married, I still have a son. Is it possible that my son will not marry a wife when he grows up?"

"If you want to put all the money spent on your son's wife on us, then I definitely can't do it."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai said these words.

Father Qin and Qin Huairu were both a little panicked.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

The steam from the hot pot covered the faces of the four of them, and no one could see their expressions.

"I'll suffer a little loss, two hundred thousand."

Father Qin finally compromised.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that the other party relaxed, he felt a little proud.

"One hundred thousand."

"It's a bit unrealistic for you to speak like this!"

Father Qin suppressed his anger and tried to reason with Yi Zhonghai.

"I'm honest enough. You can go out and ask around. Is there a gift of [-] yuan in the capital?"
