Chapter 121 You can't be so unethical!
Mother Lu laughed: "So that's what you meant, cousin! Well, I'm sorry, but our Lu family doesn't give betrothal gifts when people get married. It's a tradition. When Anguo married me, he didn't give me any either."
The Wang family was stunned.
There are actually couples who don't give a bride price when they get married.
Nowadays in Beijing, the minimum bride price is 200 yuan plus three turns and one sound (referring to a radio, a sewing machine, and a gadget).
The bride price for well-off couples can be over a thousand.
Song Li's eyes widened.
Xiao Nan thought her mother had scared Sister Li.
She whispered in Song Li's ear, "Mother is lying, Li-jie, don't believe her!"
Song Li shut his mouth.
It has nothing to do with her, why is she surprised?
Xu Yunrong looked at Lu's mother: "What era are we living in? Who gets married without giving a bride price? Don't you have any shame?"
Lu's mother: "No."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunrong exclaimed, "That won't do!"
"Then you should look for another company!"
At this moment, Wang Meng nodded: "I'm willing to do anything as long as my cousin marries me, even without a dowry."
Hsu Yun-jung: "Don't even think about it."
Wang Meng grabbed her grandmother's arm and pleaded, "Grandma, please have pity on me. If my cousin doesn't marry me, who knows what kind of family my mother will marry me off to? Can you bear that?"
The old lady looked at her granddaughter holding her hand and said, "They are all your children, so don't be too biased."
He said to Xu Yunrong.
Xu Yunrong said, "I want a high bride price because I want her to have a good life in the future. If I can't even afford the bride price, how can I give Xiaomeng a good life in the future?"
Mother Lu: "You're right, then go find your exorbitant dowry!"
Song Li looked at this odd family.
He's truly a talented individual.
Wang Meng said, "No, I only want to marry my cousin."
Song Li turned to look at Lu Sheng.
You've only been here a few days!
It completely captivated people.
Lu Sheng had a speechless expression on his face.
Then he felt someone was watching him.
He turned to the side and saw Song Li looking at him sideways.
What kind of expression is that?
Just watching the joke.
see?
Then Lu Sheng smiled and slowly said, "Who you like is your business. I have someone I like."
Song Li suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then Wang Meng asked, "Who is she? Is she as good as me?"
Lu Sheng turned to look at Song Li and said, "I like Song Li."
Song Li: "..." felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
She was so shocked she was completely stunned.
His lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand to explain, "Brother, you've already gotten yourself into trouble, and now you're dragging me down with you. You can't be so unfair!"
Lu Cheng frowned.
Looking at the two of them.
Fortunately.
Lili doesn't like her older brother.
Lu Sheng thought to himself: Isn't this just watching a joke?
Keep watching!
The two gazed at each other, their love evident to onlookers.
Only those involved truly understand the fierce battles and bloodshed that raged within.
Song Li really wanted to get rid of Lu Sheng.
That bastard.
It's all because of that kick!
It's been so long.
I can't believe I still remember.
She was just eating some melon seeds.
What a terrible injustice!
They actually pulled her down.
Everyone looked at Song Li.
Wang Meng: "She's from the countryside, she's uneducated, how could she be a good match for you?"
Song Li nodded: "Yes, yes, I also feel that I am not good enough for him. Comrade Wang, you and Lu Sheng are a match made in heaven. He just hasn't seen it clearly yet. Once he does, he will definitely change his mind. You must persevere."
Song Li chuckled as she looked at Lu Sheng: "Let's all come and hurt him! Let's see who's more ruthless."
Lu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, his cheeks clenched tightly: You've got guts.
Wang Meng: "Really."
Song Li: "It really is, more real than real gold."
Xu Yunrong: "Don't even think about it if you don't give a bride price."
Mother Lu: "Our family doesn't offer a bride price. Not only that, but you also have to bring a dowry of two thousand yuan. My son is so handsome; he absolutely must bring a dowry, or don't even think about entering our family!"
"If you're not willing, we're not willing either! He's just a lousy businessman, what's so great about him?" Xu Yunrong said disdainfully.
Wang Meng looked at Lu Sheng and said, "Cousin, you can try getting to know me. I'm really suitable to be a wife."
Song Li: Suitable to be a wife, but in modern times it's an insult.
Lu Sheng: "I don't like women who are suitable to be wives; I prefer women who are aggressive and domineering."
Song Li: Baring your teeth and brandishing your claws... You better explain yourself properly.
And that's how the talks broke down.
Xu Yunrong then left with her family.
Xu family.
Finally, it's quiet.
The Wang family went out.
Wang Tao looked at his older sister and said, "You're so useless! You can't even get a dowry. You want a two thousand yuan dowry? No way! You're a complete money-loser."
I can hardly believe these words came from a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
Why did Wang Tao develop these habits?
Because Xu Yunrong's family of origin was sexist.
So after she gave birth to Wang Meng, she couldn't get pregnant for several years, and her husband didn't like her anymore.
Six years later, she finally conceived and gave birth to Wang Tao. From a young age, he was cherished and pampered.
They protect it like it's their own eyeball.
As Xu Yunrong walked, she cursed, "Two thousand in dowry? They're crazy for money."
Then he looked at Wang Meng, who was standing next to him with her head down.
He reached out and twisted Wang Meng's ear.
"See? I tried to persuade them, but they don't want to marry you at all. They even said that if you marry into the Lu family, you can get money to support your family. Don't even think about it."
"I'll support you through college. If you behave well, I'll arrange another marriage for you, one that will definitely be better than the Lu family's."
Wang Meng lowered her head and remained silent.
She didn't believe her mother at all.
The only advantage of what she arranged was the high bride price.
They are probably either divorced or widowed.
She's too young to be a stepmother.
Don't worry!
She will definitely marry Lu Sheng.
Xu family.
Everyone looked at Lu Sheng and Song Li.
Lu's mother was also in a dilemma.
She originally favored the second son and Xiao Li.
Unexpectedly, the boss came back.
I've grown to like Xiaoli too.
I hadn't noticed it before!
Looking at Song Li, Xu's mother said, "Xiao Li and Xiao Sheng are a perfect match."
Song Li waved his hand again: "Everyone, don't misunderstand. He just said that on purpose to put Wang Meng aside."
I really want to kill her.
This feud has started again.
Luckily, I reacted quickly.
Otherwise, it would be like in the novel, where Wang Meng loves but cannot have him, and harbors resentment towards him.
Then take action against yourself.
Song Li hated Lu Sheng so much she wanted to grind her teeth.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "Yeah, just kidding."
Both sets of parents were disappointed.
I thought we could become a couple and have a wedding banquet.
It turned out to be a joke.
Only Lu's mother didn't believe her eldest son's words.
When would our boss ever joke about feelings?
Look at Xiaoli's eyes again.
His desire to overthrow the boss was impossible to hide.
Now look what's happened; he hasn't even won the heart of his beloved yet, and this feud has already started.
Since the eldest brother came back, it seems that he and Xiao Li don't talk much.
They rarely even exchange polite words.
This is nothing like Xiao Li's behavior.
Did something happen between the two of them?
This made Lu's mother even more puzzled.
But Song Li was thinking about how to get revenge on Lu Sheng.
Otherwise they'll really think they're easy to bully.
