10W is really short. 10W is the basis and needs to be increased. But don't worry too much. Many mothers-in-law in Cixi will accept your change, and the rest may be returned to you soon. Then the dowry will be twice as much as she accepts.

Cixi people usually give even numbers (even numbers and even types) as gifts. Generally, people who receive gifts will accept half of them, and then give you some of his things for you to take back. The same is true of this kind of bride price, which is generally a part of the gift and a part of the gift.

For example, you gave a bride price of 16w, and your mother-in-law received 6w, so she gave it to you on the spot as a reward. After the engagement, I will buy you a car of about 8w and marry an electrical furniture of about 40,000. (The above are very general family values. )

You won't lose money if the landlord asks Cixi's wife, but there are many unruly girls in Cixi, so you should be mentally prepared.
