Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

There were a total of 12 people squeezed into their table. The table was full of dishes, which seemed to have meat and vegetables but also very rich.

Li Wei was hungry a long time ago, she took a fancy to a bowl of mixed chicken slices. But just after holding a chopstick, the thick fans underneath were exposed. There are few pieces of meat in the whole bowl. This is a bit embarrassing, so she likes to eat fans and is not picky.

Although she was nothing, the relatives of the Wang family were tossing around in the bowl while holding the chopsticks, copying them for a long time without knowing what they were looking for. The sound of eating was very loud, harp, harp, for Li Wei, who had developed a good education since childhood, was a little unbearable. She hurriedly finished eating and left the table indifferently.

Magnolia's mother came over and pulled Li Wei and said, "I've eaten so soon, why don't you eat more and still have rice? Do you want me to serve it for you?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, I have already eaten."

Li Jianping was poured a lot of wine by the male relatives of the Wang family. At this moment, his face was flushed and his walking was a little unstable.

After drinking and eating, it's time to discuss business matters, and the relatives of both sides are sitting together. As Wang Yulan’s dad, Wang Jianguo was very fond of his daughter’s marriage. At this moment, he spoke calmly: "I have nothing to say to Jianping. The young man is smart and capable. Now he can do business again. Marry Yulan to him. I also agree. The two parties have also decided on this matter. Today we will mainly talk about the bride price. Our family does not have so many requirements. Of course, there should be some. The three major items in the early years seem to be three-turn and one-ring. It’s not popular anymore. Our Wang family can keep up with the trend, and there are not many requirements. There should be big color TV sets, motorcycles, washing machines, and refrigerators. Your Li family made a lot of money, and these should be easy to get out. "

Li Minghua muttered in his heart: Jianguo also knew that the three major items of refrigerator, washing machine, and large color TV cost a lot of money.

"Jianguo, what you asked for is not cheap. I'm afraid it will cost 10,000 to 20,000."

Wang Jianguo laughed and said: "Now your family has overseas relations, and you have opened such a big store. Ten to twenty thousand is a trivial matter. There is also a gift, I forget it, our family has raised Magnolia for 18 years, so she can dress and eat. I don’t know how much it took for her to read. Let’s give a whole number. How about three big pieces plus 20,000 gifts?"

"20,000 bride price?" Everyone in the room was taken aback. Yes, this number is indeed an astronomical figure for everyone.

Li Wei could see it, the Wang family was talking loudly and asking prices.

Not only did she think so, Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi were also dumbfounded when they heard this number. Li Minghua also said: "Jianguo, don't be joking, just tell a real number."

Wang Jianguo sternly said: "I'm not kidding."

"20,000?" Liu Chunzhi said in surprise: "The three big pieces are not enough, but 20,000 are more. These add up to almost 40,000. Our family can't afford that much now."

"Will your family have no money? Who will believe it?" Wang Jianguo laughed.

What is this, Li Wei said coldly: "Our family will give out 20,000 yuan as a gift, plus three more. Then, Uncle Wang, how many dowries does your family give?"

Li Wei asked this question well, and Liu Chunzhi wanted to applaud his daughter.

Then Wang Jianguo said in his heart: When the elders speak, what do you say as a child? He said slowly: "Dowry, we have already planned for it. In the twelfth lunar month, four new beds of cotton wool were played. Each bed weighs four catties, pots and pans, and pots, pots, and so on. Are not all dowry?"

When everyone heard it, this was wrong. Give these dowry with people's 20,000 gifts? The dowry of the Wang family can be done for two hundred yuan.

"Oh, Jianguo's brains are shrewd. It doesn't hurt to do business. So, we really can't get the 20,000 gift, and our family doesn't have a big business, and we really can't get those. We get 5,000 gift but we have This is a request. We gave Magnolia the five thousand dollars. I hope she will bring it with her when she marries our Li family. How about the same amount of her money?"

Li Minghua's words made the Wang family quit, and Wang Jianguo's face was as ugly as dusting the bottom of a pot.

"Minghua, your family is worthy of doing business. It is really a careful calculation. I want to take the gift I took back. Forget it, our Wang family can't afford it, please."

What about Tan Beng? Just because of the bride price? However, the Wang family's cheeks really make people respond. Even if they really become relatives in the future, the Wang family's appetite may not be full. Stop the loss in time, which is an excellent thing for Li Wei.

Thinking like this, Li Wei went to look at her elder brother, not knowing what her elder brother was thinking at the moment. But I saw Li Jianping get up to pull Liu Chunzhi: "Mom, we're going back."

Things changed so quickly that Liu Chunzhi hadn't recovered for a while. Li Minghua also got up and said, "Let's go back."

Li Wei also got up. At this point, there should be a peacemaker who should come out to adjust. Li Mingguo hurried to pull his brother, and Yulan's uncle also said: "How are you, discuss everything, sit down and talk slowly. I looked at the two young men who were quite good friends. It was a good thing. Don't ruin a good marriage."

When Liu Chunzhi heard the words "good marriage", he stopped again.

Uncle Magnolia also persuaded Wang Jianguo: "Don't get angry wherever the future son-in-law is rushing outside, and talk about it, let's discuss it together."

The family sat down again for the sake of Uncle Magnolia.

Then he mentioned about the lottery. Magnolia's uncle whispered a few words to Wang Jianguo. Wang Jianguo said again: "The 20,000 lottery gift is a bit too much. Then you take 15 thousand and Magnolia will take it away. She is the lottery gift. It is impossible to bring it back to your home."

"Only five thousand, we don't want your dowry." Before they came, the two had discussed three thousand, and now it can be increased to five thousand, the bride price is also the first in the village, not to mention that in Li Minghua’s opinion, Wang Yulan is also the girl such. I didn't even go to junior high school, except for being more diligent, everything else was so-so.

The two people's talk about the bride price is similar to the bargaining of buying pork in the market. The Wang family's face is just sitting on the ground and starting the price. Li Minghua is unwilling to add more money. In his opinion, five thousand is already the highest.

Disagreements, after all, they couldn't talk together. The two families have completely torn their faces.

When Li Jianping saw his parents fight with relatives of the Wang family for his own affairs, he blushed, and he couldn't bear it: "I won't get married." After speaking, he walked out angrily.

Li Wei hurriedly followed up when she saw this, she stopped Li Jianping: "Brother, how about you think about it?"

"If I say no, I won't end."

Li Wei wanted to say something, but Wang Yulan ran out, took Li Jianping's hand, and said with tears: "Brother Li, do you want me anymore?"

"I can't afford it. I hope you will marry a wishful man in the future." Li Jianping put down these words and turned away, without the slightest memory.

Wang Yulan wanted to catch up again, but Li Wei stopped her, shook her head at Yulan, and said, "Yulan, forget it. It seems that this is a destiny, so everyone can get together and stay away."

"Huh, what a good sister. You have never regarded me as a good sister!" Wang Yulan pulled Li Wei with his nose and tears, but with a look of sullenness.

"Magnolia, don't you be ashamed, come back to me!" Magnolia's mother shouted in the yard.
