Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Seems to Show Off
Isn’t it a bit early to discuss marriage matters now?
Won’t you ask Zhao Tianhe his opinion on the matter?
Although it’s not a case of a blind marriage without any communication.
But to talk about marriage, discussing the bride price and dowry at the very first meeting, isn’t it somewhat premature?
"Have you ladies taken a liking to my son?" Little Aunt Zhao spoke up.
The mother of the bride looked towards Little Aunt Zhao, "After marriage, will the household be divided?"
Hearing this, one could tell they were obviously interested.
The elder uncle is the team leader.
That would offer some conveniences.
"After marriage, we can divide the household," Little Aunt Zhao didn’t want to be the bad person, not only was she planning to separate her youngest son, but she also intended to have her eldest son move out and live an independent life with his wife, just like her sister-in-law has been doing with the elder brother.
As for that village custom where after the division of the property the parents must live with one son, she didn’t see it as a big deal.
A child will be filial if they are going to be, if they’re not, they won’t be regardless.
"Let’s talk about the bride price openly," said the female cousin, glancing at her little aunt before turning her gaze back to the male side.
To discuss openly?
Mrs. Zhao spoke, "Following the common practice, how much bride price do other villagers usually pay? Should we go by that standard?"
Little Aunt Zhao glanced at Educated Youth Yun and teased Mrs. Zhao, "Sister-in-law is really fortunate. When Laosan got married, you didn’t have to worry at all, he just brought Educated Youth Yun home. Over the years, Educated Youth Yun’s family has been sending her parcels and money."
That was spoken on purpose.
Without comparison, there would be no sense of difference.
My nephew’s wife didn’t ask for a bride price at the start, and even now, her family still sends parcels and money.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a bit uncomfortable.
Although this is true.
But to say it out loud now, it seemed a bit like showing off.
Show off about getting a wife without spending much, and even having her family send subsidies.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Xiaoxiao saw a complex look from her female cousin.
That look seemed to say: How could you marry without a bride price?
Why would you even let your family send money to support you?
Xiaoxiao was rendered speechless.
Although the female supporting character’s family sent money and parcels, living alone and sparingly.
Furthermore, initially the female supporting character’s family sent things every month, but after a year, it became once every two, even three months.
"My Laosan is very fond of his wife..."
The mother of the bride and the female cousin exchanged glances.
"Not less than thirty-six lengths of fabric."
Xiaoxiao had previously understood what this meant.
"Of course," she affirmed.
"Eighty for the bride price," stated the mother of the bride as she announced the amount.
What?
Eighty?
Although Xiao He earned some money going out with his nephew last year, it seemed insufficient to host a wedding now.
Mrs. Zhao quickly grabbed her sister-in-law, smiling sweetly at the mother of the bride, "May I ask what the bride’s side will provide in the dowry?"
Actually, a typical marriage involves thirty-six lengths of fabric and sixty in bride price money. If the groom’s side is generous, they might also provide a set or two of clothes for the bride.
The mother of the bride cleared her throat a bit, "Two quilts."
What?
Just two quilts?
The matchmaker saw them starting to haggle.
Once again, she began to mediate.
In the end: thirty-six lengths of fabric, sixty-eight, and a set of clothes for the bride from her side.
From the bride’s side: two quilts, a basin, and a thermos with a flaw.
As Yun Xiaoxiao witnessed the scene unfold, she could hardly believe it. It was all settled so quickly, wasn’t it too fast?
