Chapter 141 Fight for the bride price
"Do you need me to come over and help you?
"No, if you come over, you really don't have the courage to stay. It's too embarrassing. I'll come back to you when I have something to do."
Wen Xin nodded, "Okay, you're pregnant, remember not to get emotional."
"OK Bye Bye."
Wen Xin looked at Xiao Han's hanging up the phone and frowned. It seemed that Xiao Han's life was not as easy as hers.
Even though her parents had favored sons over daughters since she was a child, when she grew up, she finally found a job to make some money, but her parents kept oppressing her, and she became a child-supporting devil.
I thought she had found happiness, but I never thought that men and mother-in-law were not easy to mess with. It was like jumping from one abyss to another.
My parents don't dote on me, and my in-laws don't love me.
Even her younger brother and sister-in-law are riding on her head.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Haiyan's voice sounded, "What happened to Xiao Han?"
Wen Xin came over and looked at Lin Haiyan's good-looking face, feeling a little better. She sat down next to her, buried her head in her arms and said, "Mom, it's great to have you."
"Haha!" Lin Haiyan touched her head and said, "You are still acting like a baby at such an old age."
"Xiao Han's parents brought the whole family to join Xiao Han. I think Xiao Han's good days are over."
"How to say?"
"Her parents were originally patriarchal. Now Xiao Han's younger brother gambled and sold the whole family, and moved the family to live with Xiao Han. Her mother-in-law and husband are not good people either. They are not allowed to live there, not even through the door.
The two families are quarreling now."
Lin Haiyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Xiao Han is an adult. You don't need to feel sorry for her. She will take care of it. You can live a good life with Mo Han now. It's best to give him a baby."
Son, this is what you should be thinking about."
"Oh! The child must be born, but..."
She blushed but hesitated to speak.
"Does Mo Han not want children?"
"No, it's because I can't have children with him yet."
...
In front of Xiao's house.
Father Xiao knocked on the door hard, and Mother Xiao was sitting on the stairs with her grandchildren.
Xiao Han's younger brother Xiao Fei squatted next to him playing games.
Xiao Fei's wife Qiaohua leaned against the wall and cracked melon seeds. The skins of melon seeds were all over the corridor, and the entire staircase was covered with large and small bags.
The neighbors walking up and down the stairs looked at them with disdain, said nothing, and hurried upstairs.
Inside the house, Xiao Han looked at Wang Guodong and Wang Qiang who were eating and hesitated to speak.
She stood there, so humble.
The knocking on the door became louder and louder. Xiao Han turned around and wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Wang Qiang.
"If you dare to open the door, our Xiao family won't even want you anymore."
"What's the matter? You're getting into trouble by asking for a wife."
Xiao Han stopped and turned back to Zhang Guodong: "Guodong, it's not good for my parents to sit outside. It will disturb the neighbors in the building and it will be embarrassing for us."
"How about we let them come in and sit down, and we can discuss it, and then I'll let them go back to the countryside."
Zhang Guodong put his chopsticks on the table and said coldly: "Can your parents go back? Can they listen to you?"
Xiao Han frowned, "Just let me try it! Otherwise it will be too embarrassing."
Wang Qiang heard this and said, "Okay, I'll let them in, but I don't want any money. I can reward them with a meal this morning and leave immediately after eating. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Yes, I will definitely send them away after dinner."
Xiao Han opened the door, and the Xiao family came in and dragged in the large and small woven bags. Then the two children ran in happily looking for food and toys.
Dad Xiao looked around and saw Wang Qiang and Zhang Guodong eating. He smiled and said, "My mother-in-law, if you had let us in earlier, you wouldn't be so embarrassed, right?"
"I can provide you with a meal this morning. Leave as soon as possible after eating." Wang Qiang stood up, unable to eat any more, walked out and gave the order to expel the guests.
Mother Xiao said: "My mother-in-law, you are being unkind. We have come all the way from the countryside, and you don't want to entertain us. It would be too much to send us away just after we walked in!"
"And you, Zhang Guodong, we are Xiao Han's parents after all. Why are you so rude and unable to greet us for breakfast?"
Zhang Guodong was accused and said with a bad expression: "What kind of parents do you think you are?"
"You favor boys over girls. Xiao Han lived such a miserable life in your family. The words "parents" seem to be tainted by the words coming from your mouth."
When Dad Xiao heard this, he roared: "What do you mean?"
"Why should I tell you clearly? Xiao Han has already told me what your elder brother did. Eat your meal quickly and go back to your country."
Mother Xiao smiled and said, "If you want to drive us back so much, fine, let's talk about the bride price."
At the mention of the bride price, Wang Qiang's face darkened and she said coldly: "Okay, let's talk. I'll see what you want to do."
Several people sat down on the sofa one after another, and no one even poured a glass of water.
Wang Qiaohua was so polite that he directly invited his two little darlings to come to the dining table to eat the rest of breakfast.
Zhang Guodong and Wang Qiang felt that this family was shameless, but they didn't say anything.
Xiao Han held his breath, and he really agreed to what Wen Xin said. The parents of both parties were going to fight over the bride price. It seemed that the divorce was inseparable this time.
She was secretly worried, what would happen to the child in her belly after divorce?
Without money, how can we raise this child?
Xiao Han held his hand nervously.
Mother Xiao smiled and said: "My mother-in-law, you are really good at planning. You will marry in secret. You will not discuss important matters like marriage with us. You won't even get three golden cars as a betrothal gift. Although my daughter is a loser, there is no need to be insulted by you like this.
Bar!"
Wang Qiang said coldly: "You should ask your daughter about this matter. I don't even know about their flash marriage. They will kill each other first and then tell the story. Your daughter won't tell you what it has to do with our family."
"This matter is over, and I don't want to mention it. It's good to make up for the betrothal gift now. After taking the betrothal gift, we will leave immediately without even eating, otherwise we plan to stay for a long time."
"Why?"
"Just because I gave birth to Xiao Han in ten months of pregnancy and we raised her, how could we possibly benefit your family in vain if we put in so much effort to raise her? What's more, since she is pregnant now, she is considered a great contributor to your family.
You should also give betrothal gifts."
Father Xiao said: "Yes, don't be too fussy about the betrothal gift. Give it one hundred thousand, and then you don't have to buy three gold. You can just give it to us in cash, about ten thousand. If our child marries in the city, you will still pay for it."
If you want to give me a car, and our family has never had a driver’s license, let’s give it a discount! A discount of 100,000 yuan, the total amount will be..."
Xiao's father counted on his fingers, "Two hundred and one thousand, I'll give you two hundred thousand with a discount."
Xiao Han opened his mouth speechlessly.
Dad is telling lies with open eyes!
Wang Qiaohua was also very envious. It turned out that there was such a high dowry in the city. When she got married, she only had 18,000 yuan. She didn't even have three gold, so her parents paid the dowry directly.
It’s really cheap when you think about it!
Wang Qiang said coldly: "You think you are robbing money! We city people don't want so many betrothal gifts. Don't think we don't understand the market situation in your countryside."
"The bride price is 28,000 yuan, and you also have to give me a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a two-wheeled motorcycle."
Zhang Guodong said coldly: "Yes, you can ask for a betrothal gift, but it can only be based on the number you have in the countryside. You must also remember to buy these three things."
Father Xiao crossed his legs and said with a arrogant look: "Twenty-eight thousand yuan is what we have left after buying these three things. Two hundred thousand yuan is a lot, otherwise we will spend it here."
Mother Xiao also said: "Yes, it just so happens that we don't have a home anymore. Your home is so good. If we don't live in it, we can't live in it for nothing."
