Lu Yingying had a slight headache, so she went back to her room to rest.

Lei's father and mother asked Gangzi to go to their room to discuss a plan.

Lei's mother: "Gangzi, as the head of the family, you must make her listen to your opinions and not let her bully you. You will be a rich man in the future. I am not worried about you, but I am worried about your brothers and sisters."

"They are not as lucky as you, as they found a rich woman. As a brother, you should support them. Your sister will get married, and a married daughter is like spilled water. I am not very worried about her. I am most worried about your brother."

"You didn't spend a penny on your marriage, and your wife even paid for it, so you don't know how expensive marriage is. Uncle Wang from our neighboring house spent half his and Aunt Wang's lives to marry a daughter-in-law."

"I heard that they gave a betrothal gift of 150 yuan, and also asked for a wedding house, plus the banquet, so the total cost was million yuan. The woman only gave a yuan car as a dowry, and brought back yuan in betrothal gifts. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are at a big loss this time!"

"The cost of getting married is too high now. I am very worried about your brother. If we don't have the money to marry him, I am afraid your brother will remain single. Gangzi, as an older brother, you have the responsibility to take good care of your younger siblings."

Gangzi is a mama's boy. He has always listened to Lei's mother since he was a child, and he has good academic performance.

Whenever he got good grades in the exams, Lei's mother would be like a smiling date and would praise him for his bright future to everyone she met.

Gangzi lost himself step by step in the praises from Lei's father and mother.

Whenever they praised him, Gangzi would be happy for a while.

Over time, Gangzi studied hard and worked hard to please his parents.

At this moment, his mother was not smiling, but was filled with sorrow. He felt as if he had done something extremely unrighteous.

In order to win his parents' smiles, he put pressure on Lu Yingying.

"I am the first college student in my family. If we don't invite relatives and friends to the wedding banquet for such an important event as marriage, our family will lose face."

"It doesn't matter whether I want to save face or not. I have no face in front of you anyway, but my parents do mind. My parents have suffered for most of their lives. I hope you can treat them as your own biological parents."

Lu Yingying was annoyed by the nagging and said she would reconsider the matter.

She called Lu Yichen for advice.

A person only has one wedding in his life, so Lu Yichen gave the choice back to Lu Yingying.

Other people spend their own money when they get married, but Gangzi only wants to spend Lu Yichen's money. This man is a complete money-grubber.

He was not like this before marriage. Lu Yingying felt like she had gotten on Gangzi's pirate ship.

He was determined to have a Chinese wedding, so he must have other plans.

Friends and relatives usually give money as gift to wedding banquets. Could it be that he is interested in this?

Most likely!

Their family doesn't spend a penny on marrying a daughter-in-law, but still wants to make some money.

They don't care about my feelings just for the sake of money. It's despicable.

If you tell them that there is no gift money, they probably won't hold the wedding.

Just do it!

"Husband, we have a rule in the Lu family that when we invite people to a wedding banquet, not only can we not accept gift money, but we also have to give back a red envelope of 1,000 yuan per person."

"My brother will pay for the banquet, but your family will pay for the red envelopes given to the guests."

Gangzi's face immediately turned dark. It was impossible to ask them to take the money.

"We don't have such rules here. Even if your family is rich, you don't do this."

"Our Lu family has always been like this, since my grandfather's generation. You have to understand that it's one thousand per person, not one thousand per household."

"If a family has seven or eight people coming, should we pay him back seven or eight thousand yuan?"

"Yes. With the status of our Lu family, every time we hold a wedding, there are thousands of people coming to congratulate us, and we have to pay back millions of gifts in total. Your family has to pay this money."

Gangzi thought, only a fool would do this when he can't make a penny but still has to spend millions.

"Then I'll ask my parents and see what they think?"

Gangzi told his parents that Mr. and Mrs. Lei's faces were even darker than Bao Gong's.

"Millions? Bah! Other families only spend more than one million to marry a daughter-in-law, but our family spends millions. I thought marrying her would cost nothing, but I didn't expect it to be so different. They don't charge for wedding gifts but instead ask for gifts in return. Oh! Gangzi, I think forget it, you should hold the wedding abroad!" When Lei's mother heard that it would cost millions to marry a daughter-in-law, her head started to hurt.

Lu Yingying won the first argument and felt very happy. She decided to customize a gorgeous wedding dress for herself that was one of a kind in the world.

She was afraid that the Lei family would have objections, so she decided to act first and report later, and only told Gangzi after receiving the wedding dress.

The wedding dress was made of platinum and silk, with several sparkling diamonds on the chest and the entire back was exposed. The total value was as high as 25 million.

Gangzi asked Lu Yingying how much did the wedding dress cost?

She was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she lied to him and said that she spent 50,000 yuan.

After hearing this, Gangzi showed a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but since Lu Yingying was spending her own money and they were newlyweds, he didn't say anything.

When it was Lei's father and mother's turn to ask Gangzi, he was afraid that his parents would be unhappy, so he lied to them and said he spent 5000 yuan.

When Lei's father and mother were selling vegetables, they only earned 5000 yuan in ten days. Lu Yingying spent 5000 yuan on a wedding dress. Lei's mother was heartbroken and felt that her daughter-in-law was too extravagant.

Lei's mother complained: "Wedding dresses can only be worn on the wedding day. They are not suitable for other times. There is no need to buy a wedding dress that you will only wear for one day. It is much cheaper to rent one. Even if you don't rent one, you don't have to buy such an expensive one. Three or four hundred yuan will be enough."

"Gangzi, why didn't you stop her? 5000 yuan can buy a lot of things."

"Mom, she bought it herself and told me after she bought it."

"No, she's a spendthrift. You must control her in the future. Money should be spent wisely. Your brother doesn't have a wedding house yet. 5000 yuan can buy a square meter house in the suburbs."

After listening to his parents, Gangzi felt a little guilty. He couldn't stop Lu Yingying from spending 50,000 yuan to buy a wedding dress. He felt sorry for his brother. 50,000 yuan could have bought his brother five squares.

Lu Yingying invited Lei's father and mother to attend their wedding, but they were afraid to go to such a far place. A plane ticket would definitely cost tens of thousands of dollars, which made them heartbroken!

Lei's mother asked Lu Yingying if she could give them a discount on the money for the two plane tickets if they didn't go.

Lu Yingying had never seen such a person before, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Gangzi immediately lobbied, "Yingying, you only get married once in your life. It's a bit regrettable that our parents can't attend our wedding and share our joy. But if you can give them the money for the two plane tickets, they will be happy for us even if they can't come to the scene."

Lei's mother was afraid that Lu Yingying would not give her money, so she interrupted, "Yes, I get carsick, otherwise I would have gone with you. It's a bit of a pity that I can't attend my son's wedding!"

Lei Mu looked as if her old mother had died, she was dejected and there was no smile on her face.

Lu Yingying thought, since others said so, then fine, she didn’t need the tens of thousands of dollars anyway.

In order to get the old couple's blessing for them to have a happy wedding, Lu Yingying promised to give them 100,000 yuan, but because she had no cash, she had to go to the bank to withdraw money before giving it to them.

Lei's mother was afraid that Lu Yingying would go back on her word, so she immediately asked her to go to the bank to withdraw the money, and asked Gangzi to go with her.
