Chapter 613: 613. Discussing marriage and wedding in the live broadcast room_1 Chapter 613: 613. Discussing marriage and wedding in the live broadcast room_1 In the village, the matchmaking arrangements tend to be settled among the gossiping aunties, with Zhou Tianyu himself not even aware of it, as the two go-betweens finalized the details in front of nearly ten thousand viewers (there weren’t many viewers just yet since the broadcast had just started).

Considering that Zhou Tianyu was going back in a few days, the auntie promised emphatically to make a call about it right away, then set a time to meet in the city or the town…

First they’d meet, then the two would add each other on WeChat to chat slowly, and if everything went smoothly, getting married by the end of the year was not impossible!

The elders exchanged looks, as if they had already foreseen the children’s destiny.

For a moment, even the barrage of comments felt envious.

[If only my clients were this efficient…]

[If only my coordinator were this efficient…]

[If only my child did homework with such efficiency…]

In the Tian Yuan Memoirs live broadcast, the host was outdoing the fans in every aspect–is it about outperforming your peers or making your fans feel it?

But even with the decision made, there were still details to discuss, like the most important one–the house.

The auntie started by clarifying, “What’s your plan for the house in your family?”

Li Lanhua didn’t hide anything: “Now the kids don’t plan to stay in the village, so if things work out, I’m thinking of spending ten thousand yuan to fix up this old house so that the young couple can have a comfortable place to stay when they come back, and then we’ll go to Yun City to make a down payment.”

“You know, we just don’t have the means to pay full price, but we can make a larger down payment.”

“Us, we’ll still be living back home, and when the time comes and we have grandchildren, if the kids want me to help, I’ll go over to lend a hand.”

As soon as money was mentioned, it felt like a thousand worries flooded her mind, thankfully Maozhu had earned tens of thousands this year picking tea for Song Tan’s household–

Four hundred a day, working consistently from April through the end of July, and adding in the ten thousand she had earned from picking tea at the start of the season, it amounted to about sixty thousand yuan.

Thinking about this, Li Lanhua couldn’t help but feel pained about the three pounds of tea leaves her son had given away. They still had two pounds at home that they didn’t dare to drink. If things went well between the two, this tea could be just the thing for her son to take to the girl’s family as a gift, saving a sum of money…

But the expense of holding a wedding feast, the house, and the bride price… it’s all about money!

In the village, gatherings for joyous or sad events usually pulled in at most twenty or thirty thousand in gift money, just enough to cover a grand feast and the cost of tobacco, alcohol, and tea. One really couldn’t count on it.

Li Lanhua had the mind to pinch every penny, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime matter. If her son and his wife-to-be felt undignified and couldn’t raise their heads for the rest of their lives because they were short on money, would they truly care for this home?

Even if they put up with it for a while, with arguments every three days and quarrels every five, could the couple’s affections last?

Li Lanhua gritted her teeth and said to the auntie beside her, “Auntie, please let them know that when it comes to the bride price and the three pieces of gold, we won’t be outdone by other families. Our family is sincere.”

She was genuinely worried about Zhou Tianyu’s future, and in this moment, she was prepared to face the consequences:

“His dad and I can still work; we can offer some help now. As for the bride price, whether the in-laws keep it or not, we’re okay with it!”

It pained her to say these words, but she had to muster the courage: “Raising such a daughter hasn’t been easy for them either. If their family is really struggling, we’re not the kind to fuss over such things.”

After putting it all out there and considering that she’d have to empty a lifetime of savings, Li Lanhua felt both excited and exhausted. The auntie next to her quickly comforted her:

“Why talk about such things now? Those are matters to be discussed gradually if things work out.”

“Besides, the girl I’m introducing to you is from a decent family. She has a younger brother who is still in school, and she can make decisions too. They’re not the kind to play favorites. Don’t worry!”

In the midst of their talk, the auntie became anxious and pulled off her disposable gloves:

“I’ll make a call first! Don’t worry, Lanhua, the girl’s family is really good-natured; they’re not the kind to cause trouble!”

Li Lanhua nodded firmly, although she wasn’t entirely convinced–after all, matchmakers always paint a rosy picture.

Just like how she didn’t say that the down payment combined with the bride price could total up to three or four hundred thousand yuan. After including her son’s fifty thousand in savings, she would still inevitably have to borrow tens of thousands to get by…

The two were deeply engrossed in their discussion of important matters, and the people around didn’t interject casually. Instead, the viewers in the live broadcast were so envious they could cry.

[Who says people with traditions are stubborn and like to quibble? Aren’t all the conditions being discussed loud and clear?]

[Wow, this auntie has such high EQ! With just a few simple sentences, she laid out future plans, sincerity, and key points]

[Seriously envy this kind of mother-in-law. Thinking about mine… just no comparison]

[For real. When buying a pig, you look at the pen, and this young fellow having parents like that already passes the grade]

[Whoa! Is matchmaking in the countryside always this thrilling? Listing the conditions and obligations so clearly and sincerely straight from the get-go]

[Has a younger brother too? This girl isn’t one of those ‘brother-obsessed’ types, is she?]

[‘Brother-obsessed’, ‘brother-obsessed’, why are you guys everywhere?]

[Exactly! Not even one stroke of the character written, and you hear there’s a brother at home and you panic]

[So if the guy has sisters, does that become an annoying eldest sister-in-law issue?]

[You want an only daughter, and you want her parents to have high pensions. Then with high pensions, you wish they don’t get sick… Men sure have a lot of demands]

[Alright, alright, stop arguing, let’s change the topic.]

[Every time this topic comes up, it ends in a fight. Can’t we all just quietly watch the live stream?]

[Quick, learn their method for mixing the spice packet! If I can’t score one, I’ll just mix my own]

[Dream on, the one in front, Qiaoqiao already taught this last time, and I’m sure my homemade version won’t be as tasty as theirs]

[Exactly, otherwise why would their own people snap up dozens or even hundreds of them?]

[Don’t remind me, the painful memory of being sniped hurts me once again]

[I just got here. Is buying a spice packet always this crazy?]

[I’m new too… It has a lot of fans. Were those shills doing hunger marketing just now?]

[Yes! All shills!]

[Yes, this place is very likely a pyramid scheme den; we’re all victims here. Brother, I suggest you switch to another live stream.]

[Yes, this streamer scams money and shears the leeks. Brother, I suggest you get out.]

[It’s also possible, sister–sister, don’t be scammed. Be careful with your hard-earned money, don’t waste it here. Get out fast!]

The newcomer: ???

Her rebellious reply:[Is this a new way of drawing in viewers? I refuse to leave]

[Exactly! If the money’s in my hands, I’m not parting with it]

[A broke joker, no money, freeloading!]

Several newcomers who stumbled upon the stream simultaneously chimed in.

However, as expected, neither rebuttal nor persuasion occurred. The chat was peaceful, without even a single argument taking place.

[Right, overspending is bad]

[Right! Money is saved up, one must stay firm in the conviction not to spend.]

[Not spending? Ah, that’s great, feel free to watch as much as you like]

[A broke joker? Oh yeah! We love those without money!]

The newcomers: …You’re all seriously ill, aren’t you?

On looking up at the live stream’s name again, it was indeed Tian Yuan’s farming live stream [Country Diary], not some [Psychiatric Ward Online Team Building] event, was it?
