Siheyuan: Call the police at the beginning, the whole courtyard is the public enemy
Chapter 49 Betrothal Gift
There were a total of four dishes on the Liu family’s dinner table today.
A chicken, an egg, and two wild vegetables.
The staple food is steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Liu Mancang looked at his future son-in-law and didn't eat much of the chicken or eggs. Instead, he ate two wild vegetables.
I thought he was my future son-in-law and felt a little shy.
Then, while urging him to drink, he said, "Weidong, don't just eat wild vegetables, eat chicken and other things too!"
Li Weidong smiled and said, "I don't want to eat chicken or anything like that.
It’s just that I haven’t eaten these wild vegetables for a long time, and I’m really missing them.”
Liu Mancang...
How come this happened? The future son-in-law who was so satisfied with everything just now,
Looking at it now, why does it seem a bit annoying?
Li Weidong didn't have any other intentions, he just looked at the Liu family's fourth and fifth children, who were drooling at the sight of the chicken.
I just want them to eat more, there is really no other intention...
After lunch, we chatted for a while.
Liu Mancang then said: "Weidong, since you are the only one in your family, I will ask you directly,
What do you think of our girl? Are you attracted to her? "
Li Weidong nodded and said, "Very good, I like it!"
After hearing Li Weidong's answer, the trace of worry in Liu Mancang's eyes disappeared.
Liu Mancang said with a smile: "It's good that you like it!"
"With such good conditions, there is no reason why our family would not like you."
"To be honest, if my daughter could marry you, it would be considered marrying above her station!"
"But after all, it's a daughter's wedding. For her happiness, some things should be discussed in advance.
You listen first and see if you can agree to it."
Li Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, you say."
"If you marry my daughter and she does something wrong, you will definitely do what needs to be done!
But you can't bully him for no reason, I won't agree to that!"
Li Weidong said: "Uncle, how can this be considered a request?
I will definitely treat my wife well after I marry her and will never bully her, you can rest assured!"
Liu Mancang was still very satisfied with Li Weidong's attitude, and continued: "And..."
"You have seen the financial situation of our family, and we cannot afford a decent dowry.
You can’t…
You can't treat her badly just because of this!"
After Liu Manchang finished talking about this, his eyes turned red.
Li Weidong felt that his future father-in-law might have some inferiority complex.
It seems that I have to find a way to dispel his concerns.
He thought about it for a while before saying, "Uncle, I feel that both of your requests are a bit redundant."
Let's talk about the first point first. I think that being good to your wife is what you should do.
How can this be considered a condition? "
“And the second point,
It was my own idea to find a rural girl to be my wife.
Don’t I understand the situation in rural areas?
How could he possibly want to covet the bride price from the girl?"
"You can rest assured about this!"
"If you have any other conditions, you can put them forward at the same time. There is nothing to worry about!"
After listening to Li Weidong's words, Liu Mancang said, "As long as you can be good to my daughter, I have no other requirements!"
"As for the betrothal gifts,
Anyway, we can't afford a decent dowry, so you don't have to pay the bride price, and we don't have to prepare a dowry.
When the time comes, just take the person away!"
"As long as you can be good to my daughter in the future, it will be better than anything else!"
After hearing what Liu Mancang said, Li Weidong was a little surprised!
Didn’t Matchmaker Zhang say that their family wanted more dowry for their son’s marriage?
Why do you say you don’t want a dowry now?
Li Weidong looked at Matchmaker Zhang and found that he was also surprised.
Even the second son of the Liu family, who was sitting next to him, was surprised and looked at his father.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, but said nothing.
Liu Mancang looked at the surprised Li Weidong and Zhang the Matchmaker.
Then he gave his second son an apologetic smile.
Then he said, "Seeing how surprised you are, Matchmaker Zhang should have told you about our family's requirements before!"
Seeing Li Weidong nodded, Liu Mancang said, "Before, our family did think about asking for more gifts for our second son to use for his marriage."
"He has reached the age of marriage, but his family can't afford the money for his marriage.
We as parents are also very anxious!"
“But your conditions are too good.
Yunfang's mother and I both think that Yunfang will be blessed after marrying you!"
"So for the sake of our daughter's happy life, we decided not to take the betrothal gift.
At worst, we can just let our second son get married two years later, that’s no big deal! ”
Li Weidong was speechless after hearing Liu Mancang's words.
What kind of counterintuitive logic is this?
For those who are not in good condition, try to make more conditions.
On the contrary, for people with good conditions, no conditions are needed?
Oh my god!
Li Weidong said, "Well, uncle, how much was the betrothal gift you set before?"
Liu Manchang didn't expect Li Weidong to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Thirty, thirty yuan."
Li Weidong stood up, took out fifty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.
Liu Manchang looked at Li Weidong's inexplicable actions, wondering what he wanted to do.
Li Weidong said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you did something wrong!"
For the person with poor conditions, you ask for a dowry of 30 yuan, but for me with good conditions, you don't ask for a dowry.
What's the meaning? "
"You are simply looking down on me!"
Seeing Liu Mancang anxious to explain, Li Weidong stopped him.
He said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I was just joking with you."
"I'm not short of this little money. If I don't even give a dowry to marry a wife, wouldn't that be unfair to your daughter and my wife?"
“This is a lifelong thing!”
"I don't want my wife to be thinking about the fact that my second brother is still unmarried when she marries me."
In fact, it was Liu Mancang's words that made Li Weidong believe that his father-in-law was an honest man.
If he can do this, how can I be unable to do anything wrong?
It’s not like I can’t come up with the money!
After Li Weidong took out a huge sum of fifty yuan, the Liu family's attitude towards Li Weidong became even better.
The second son of the Liu family felt that the ups and downs of life came too quickly, making him want to pee.
Liu Yunfang saw that Li Weidong was willing to pay a huge sum of fifty yuan even though his father had clearly stated that he did not want a dowry.
I also said that I can't let myself down.
Some were moved and their hearts were trembling.
Father Liu even stated directly,
Li Weidong can take his daughter back home today.
It was Li Weidong who said that he was renovating his house in preparation for his marriage.
After my house is renovated in a few days, I will come over to pick Liu Yunfang up.
As for the banquet, that's not to mention.
During these three difficult years, how many families still held wedding banquets?
It’s good enough to have a good meal at home.
At most, we can just invite a few people with whom we have particularly good relationships!
