Chapter 309 This bride price is enough to marry a wife.
Zhao Tian hadn't had a chance to tell her parents this before, and then this whole thing happened tonight.
I don't know if it's too late to talk about it now.
After Zhao Tian finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to Zhao Tian's parents.
"Old man, what do you mean by this..." Zhao Tian's mother asked her husband.
Zhao Tian's father seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that her husband was at a loss, Zhao Tian's mother spoke up to Gu's mother.
"I think it would be better to let Boss Gu and Zhao Tian stay in Kaoshan Village."
“The two families aren’t far apart. Beijing is such a far place. If Zhao Tian goes there, she might not be able to come back for several years… I think she’ll have even less chance to see her daughter,” Zhao Tian’s mother said to Gu’s mother.
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother nodded without hesitation.
“If you don’t want Zhao Tian and Zhen Dong to go to Beijing after their marriage, that’s no problem at all. In fact, I can stay and help take care of the young couple,” Gu’s mother said directly.
This means that you are in charge of making this decision.
Whatever you say goes.
This was also something Gu Zhendong had instructed him to do.
"..." Zhao Tian's mother just wanted to ask tentatively.
Surprisingly, Gu's mother agreed immediately.
Gu Zhendong was also willing to stay in Kaoshan Village, a small place, for Zhao Tian.
Really are……
This shows how much they value their daughter.
Zhao Tian's father, who hadn't smoked at all, picked up a pipe from the side of the table.
He put some tobacco in the small pipe, pressed it down with his finger, and then lit the pipe with a match.
I took a deep breath.
He exhaled a large puff of smoke.
"Old woman, I think we should let Zhao Tian and Gu Zhen go to Beijing," Zhao Tian's father said.
Although he was also reluctant to let his daughter go to such a far place.
However, he felt that Beijing was a big city, and going there would broaden his horizons and broaden his perspective.
If the young couple had stayed in Kaoshan Village, they would probably have spent their entire lives as farmers, toiling in the fields.
It's not that farmers are bad, it's just that I feel if they have the opportunity to go out and see the world, they might find other opportunities.
"This..." Zhao Tian's mother really didn't expect her husband to say that.
"Let's listen to me this time. Gu Zhendong is willing to stay in Kaoshan Village for Zhao Tian, so let's not stop our daughter."
"Gu Zhendong, this kid is not bad." Zhao Tian's father said slowly after taking a few puffs of his cigarette.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian's mother sighed.
He nodded.
Seeing this, Gu's mother spoke some private words to Zhao Tian's parents, assuring them that she would take good care of Zhao Tian and would not let her suffer any losses.
They would definitely treat her like their own daughter.
Zhao Tian's parents also expressed their relief and willingness to believe Gu's mother's words.
The conversation went fairly smoothly.
When it came time to give the bride price, Zhao Tian's parents said that any amount of money was fine, it was all up to their heart.
The Zhao family would never sell their daughter.
"Niannian!" Gu's mother had not discussed the bride price with Su Niannian before, and Su Niannian had also said that she would take out the bride price depending on the situation.
Consider this money as a loan from Gu Zhendong.
and so……
With a happy smile on her face, Su Niannian reached into her pocket.
He pulled a wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket.
This was prepared before Su Niannian arrived.
Su Niannian generously handed the money to Aunt Zhao.
Zhao Tian's mother was dumbfounded when she saw so many large coins in her hand.
"This...how much is this?!" Zhao Tian's mother was a little at a loss, and took the money to show Zhao Tian's father.
Zhao Tian's father was also a little stunned. So many? They were all ten-yuan notes.
How much money must that cost...?
Zhao Tian's father was also stunned.
Zhao Tian was sitting on a small stool by the door with her younger brother when she saw Su Niannian take out so many large bills.
I was completely stunned.
The highest dowry in Kaoshan Village is fifty yuan, which is the price Wei Heping's family gave before.
Under normal circumstances, twenty yuan is the common price.
Some families with better financial situations and more able-bodied men are willing to spend 30 to 50 yuan to get their son a wife.
But I've never seen so many before.
Just a quick glance, and there must be at least twenty or thirty of them, right?
Zhao Tian's mother really didn't dare to keep it.
Originally, I thought that given the Gu family's circumstances, being able to come up with fifty yuan as a bride price would be considered a lot.
Twenty or thirty is also acceptable; Zhao Tian's mother can accept it.
I really didn't expect them to give so much.
Gu's mother was also a little stunned. She thought that Su Niannian would be doing quite well if she gave fifty or sixty yuan, but she didn't expect Su Niannian to actually give...
Goodness, how much is this? It looks like it's worth at least two hundred yuan.
Gu's mother was already starting to worry about Gu Zhendong. How would her son earn enough money to pay back the bride price?
Everyone thought that Su Niannian might have given the wrong amount of money.
This is too much.
It was at this moment that Su Niannian revealed a happy smile.
"Aunt Zhao, here is two hundred and eighty yuan. It's the bride price that my older brother, Gu Zhendong, gave to Zhao Tian."
"Moreover, my elder brother said that this money is for our parents and doesn't need to be brought back by Zhao Tian."
Su Niannian smiled happily and said, "Two hundred and eighty yuan."
Everyone present was stunned.
That's two hundred and eighty yuan!
To put it bluntly, 280 yuan could buy you ten or so wives.
"No, no, this is too much money. If we accept it, what kind of people will we become?" Zhao Tian's father quickly said.
If we actually accept her, wouldn't that be like selling our daughter?
No matter what, we can't accept such a large dowry.
Zhao Tian's father's words made Su Niannian think that Zhao Tian was really lucky.
Su Niannian believed that if this money appeared in someone else's home, the girl's parents would immediately put it away, fearing that the boy would change his mind.
“My old man is right, this is unacceptable, we can’t accept so much money,” Zhao Tian’s mother said.
He then tried to stuff the money into Su Niannian's hand.
Su Niannian took a step back, avoiding Zhao Tian's mother's movement.
“You two are not selling your daughter, and there is a reason why we are giving you this money.”
“My older brother is divorced and has a child. Zhao Tian is a kind person and will definitely treat Yangyang as her own son. That’s for sure.”
"Moreover, Zhao Tian is a good person, good-looking, hardworking and down-to-earth. She is also devoted to my older brother and has waited for him for so many years. I would say that many women cannot do that."
"This money is the bride price, it's the sincerity of our Gu family, and it's also the sincerity of my elder brother Gu Zhendong," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian's parents exchanged a glance.
Now that things have come to this point, should we accept it or not?
