Siheyuan: Since 51
Chapter 24 Taking the opportunity to cry poor
Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Yi Zhonghai and reminded him, "This is about the Jia family. You are too biased. You'd better not get involved!"
After saying that, he looked at Jia Zhang and said in a deep voice, "Come on, Jia Zhang, tell me. If you can't explain it clearly, you are a woman, and I am too lazy to do it. Do you think I will slap your son in the face?"
"Okay, I say!"
Jia Zhang looked around and cried, "Dear neighbors, my Dongxu is already twenty years old.
I'm going back to my parents' home these days to arrange a marriage.
Who would have known that when I went to the girl's house, she would ask for a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan."
Yan Bugui's eyes almost popped out of his head and he exclaimed, "What, one hundred thousand?"
Xu Fugui also frowned, "There's no need for so many in the city, right?"
He Daqing was puzzled, "What does this have to do with Lin Zhiyuan?"
……
Jia Zhang sat on the ground and continued to cry, "Why is it not Lin Zhiyuan's business?
I heard that when he proposed marriage, he gave pork, snacks, honey, and a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan.
It must be that the other girl followed suit and raised the bride price!"
Yan Bugui stared at Lin Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, you... didn't realize that your family is so rich!"
Yi Zhonghai said meaningfully: "That's right, buying a house, decorating the house, and giving so much for the marriage proposal."
……
Everyone looked at Lin Zhiyuan with complicated and shocked eyes.
Lin Zhiyuan realized the problem and knew that he was too arrogant earlier. Now that things have come to this, regret is useless. He clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, listen to me."
When the scene quieted down, Lin Zhiyuan sighed, “Everyone knows what’s going on in my family.
My parents are not around, Zhihui and Xiaoyu are still young, and as the eldest, do I have to take care of them?
When Zhihui gets married and Xiaoyu gets married, will I be the one to pay for the bride price and dowry?"
Yan Bugui agreed: "An elder brother is like a father, it should be like this!"
He Daqing also nodded, "Yes, Zhiyuan acts like a brother!"
……
Lin Zhiyuan continued: "Isn't it obvious that my situation will make the girl suffer?
My aunt was afraid of letting the girl down, so she helped prepare things and took the initiative to increase the bride price.
Is this wrong?"
Yan Bugui's face was full of heartache, "That... that doesn't need so much, right?"
He Daqing said: "I think Zhiyuan did the right thing. The girl had to suffer a lot after entering the family!"
……
Seeing this, Jia Zhang glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then turned to look at Lin Zhiyuan and said in a tantrum: "I don't care, it's because of you that my soon-to-be daughter-in-law wants a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan, you have to give it to me!"
Lin Zhiyuan sneered, "You wish! I don't have any money to give you. I already owe tens of millions of foreign debts. I still want you to give me money!"
He Daqing couldn't help but ask, "Zhiyuan, how could you owe so much money?"
Lin Zhiyuan also wanted to take the opportunity to cry poor, shaking his head and sighing: "I'm getting married soon, and Zhihui is not young anymore, I can't let my sister-in-law and brother-in-law live in the same room, right?
I was thinking about buying a house, which would cost 20 million. The deaf old lady was kind and asked me to pay half first and the rest slowly. This alone would cost 10 million!
But my father and I have only saved about 3 million yuan in the past few years. I had no choice but to sell the bracelet my mother left behind and borrow a lot of money to get 10 million yuan.
I was originally worried about how to renovate the house, but then my uncle wrote to me and remitted 3 million yuan, so…"
Lin Zhiyuan had just finished speaking when Xu Fugui frowned and asked, "Zhiyuan, that's not right. Didn't the factory leader come to give you condolence money a few days ago?"
"Well, it's only two million. Apart from the ten million from the deaf old lady, I still owe millions!"
Seeing that the topic had turned to grandma's house, Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled it back.
"Zhiyuan, this matter really has something to do with you. In my opinion, you don't have to pay for it all. Jia Zhang was originally going to pay 50,000, so you can make up the remaining 50,000!"
Lin Zhiyuan was speechless for a while.
Fill?
Put lightly!
If this really starts, what will we do if everyone asks for money when marrying a daughter-in-law?
Just as Lin Zhiyuan was about to refute, He Daqing stood up.
"Old Yi, you are wrong. When the Jia family proposed marriage, the other party asked for a gift of 100,000 yuan. It may not be because of Zhiyuan's influence! Maybe they wanted more anyway?"
"Hey, Uncle He, you are right!"
Lin Zhiyuan echoed and turned his criticism towards Yi Zhonghai.
"If Jia Dongxu doesn't have money to get married, as his master, can't you help out with such a big event as your apprentice's marriage?
You let the mother and son lose face, throw tantrums, and make a fuss. You... Hey!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu both looked at Yi Zhonghai, their eyes full of expectation.
Yi Zhonghai never expected that the firepower would suddenly turn and point directly at him.
Before he could say anything, He Daqing added, "Hey, Lao Yi, what's wrong with you? You keep saying how good you are to your apprentice. You're not just talking nonsense, are you?"
Not to mention refusing, if he dared to hesitate, it would definitely cause a rift with the Jia family. Yi Zhonghai quickly took the responsibility and said, "Okay, I'll pay the betrothal gift!"
Jia Zhang suddenly grinned.
Jia Dongxu also thanked him repeatedly, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"
A farce finally came to an end.
When everyone left and Lin Zhiyuan was about to go home, Yan Bugui came up to him and whispered, "Zhiyuan, our two families get along well. I have something to tell you. Please don't think I am nosy."
Lin Zhiyuan gestured with his hand and led Yan Bugui to the west wing.
"Teacher Yan, sit down and talk."
Lin Zhihui was very observant. He poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui pondered for a moment, "Zhiyuan, this is not the way you should live your life. You have to be thrifty. You've been a little... extravagant recently."
Lin Zhiyuan nodded and sighed, "Teacher Yan, thank you for your reminder.
I had no choice. My father had just passed away, I was confused and afraid of being coveted by others.
This is a good opportunity to spend all the money so that no one will keep thinking of you.
And preparing a house for Zhihui, it can be considered killing two birds with one stone!"
Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he nodded and said, "You're right, it's me, Meng Lang!"
"Well, you're doing this for my own good."
The next day.
Procurement Group Office.
After Li Huaide finished his performance for Lin Zhiyuan, he left in a hurry.
Lin Zhiyuan sat down at his desk and looked at the three people in front of him.
Needless to say, Zhou Liping, who just arrived, has a lot to say.
The canteen purchasing agent Shi Kuan was a short and fat man in his forties, with a face full of flesh and a look that was difficult to get along with.
The former office supplies buyer, Zhao Hongbo, was a young man under 30 years old, of medium height, with a pointed chin and a monkey-like face, and he looked extremely shrewd.
"Everyone, from now on we will eat from the same pot. I hope you will support us!"
Zhao Hongbo smiled and said, "Team Leader Lin, look at what you said. What will happen in the future depends entirely on how you lead!"
Shi Kuan curled his lips and agreed casually, "Team Leader Lin, you are so young and you can be a team leader. You must be capable. Why don't you show it to me first!"
