Twenty-eight-year-old Liu Juan is a little princess loved by her parents since she was a child. Although not white, she looks good and her family conditions are moderate. Not poor, but not rich second generation.
Although my parents didn't give themselves a luxurious life since childhood, they at least had enough to eat and wear warm clothes. Parents will satisfy all the toys and new clothes they want and be spoiled as princesses by their parents since childhood.
3 1 year-old Zhang Xiaohua grew up in a poor family and had a younger brother who was studying. Zhang Xiaohua has been in love several times, but they all broke up because of family poverty. Parents once paid a matchmaker to find a daughter-in-law for their son, but they couldn't afford the bride price and were rejected one by one.
Fate is so wonderful. Under the introduction of the matchmaker, Liu Juan and Zhang Xiaohua met on a blind date. Compared with most material girls in the past, Liu Juan is a very special girl. She doesn't value material things. 28-year-old Liu Juan is also eager to have a small family of his own, and the simple and honest Zhang Xiaohua just gave Liu Juan the idea of living a plain life. She thinks that her future husband should be as honest and upright as Zhang Xiaohua, so that men can feel safe.
Zhang Xiaohua, 3 1 year-old, is also attracted by Liu Juan, who exudes unique femininity. He thinks that Liu Juan smells different from the girls who used to date each other. In the past, blind date girls always proudly asked themselves if they had a house, a car or a deposit when they met. This made Zhang Xiaohua, who was born in a poor family, feel embarrassed and speechless. In the end, many blind dates ended in discord.
However, Liu Juan is different from them. From meeting to breaking up, she never asked herself if she had a car or a room. When she first met Zhang Xiaohua, she gently greeted Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Juan. Nice to meet you. " In the following conversation, she never asked Zhang Xiaohua if she had an RV. This added a good impression to Zhang Xiaohua, who felt that Liu Juan was different from other material girls. In fact, Liu Juan is not a material girl.
Because they hit it off, they naturally dated for a while. After dating for one year, the parents of both sides thought that the two children were so well matched and old that they could consider getting married, so they discussed engagement. When it comes to engagement, there is naturally a bride price. However, the discussion between the two families was pleasant at first, and it was a bit embarrassing when it came to the bride price.
According to Liu Juan's hometown, the minimum bride price is 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and some families even need 200,000 yuan. When it comes to bride price money, Zhang Xiaohua's parents have repeatedly cried for poverty, saying that they still have a young son who is studying, and the money will be spent on Xiaohua's wedding banquet, but they can't get the bride price money. Indeed, Zhang Xiaohua's family is very ordinary, and Liu Juan knew this before. Because I didn't care about these external materials at first, I was honest and upright in Zhang Xiaohua, so I chose to try to associate with Zhang Xiaohua.
Liu Juan's parents are not unreasonable and opinionated people. As long as the daughter is happy, it doesn't matter if she doesn't receive any bride price money. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua is very simple and honest, and they believe that he will not mistreat his daughter in the future. After careful consideration, our parents decided not to embarrass the Zhang family and not to accept any bride price money. Zhang Xiaohua's parents were so happy when they heard that her in-laws didn't accept the bride price. After all, such a good thing can't happen to everyone.
On the day before the wedding, Liu Juan's parents were distressed by the 200,000 yuan their daughter had worked so hard to save for the emergency after marriage. Finally, the wedding that Liu Juan expected came as scheduled. Although the layout of the wedding is relatively simple and not as beautiful as expected, it is also very happy to be able to marry the man you love in a white wedding dress with the blessing of relatives and friends.
However, what Liu Juan never expected was that it was just above the wedding, in full view. When Liu Juan served tea to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law not only gave her a red envelope of 200 yuan, but also asked for her dowry in front of everyone. "Xiao Juan, since you married Xiaohua, we are a family, in order to prevent you guys from spending money.
I think your dowry is better managed by our older generation. "My mother-in-law didn't know where she learned that her parents had prepared 200,000 dowry for her in case of emergency. She didn't ask for dowry money, but her mother-in-law was too greedy and asked for her dowry money. It is estimated that few new wives can stand such a greedy mother-in-law.
Although Liu Juan is famous for her good temper, her mother-in-law's behavior is really irritating. Under the eyes of the public, Liu Juan had a brainwave and said, "Please keep the bride price money for me." Liu Juan blurted out nine words that made her mother-in-law speechless and ashamed. From then on, my mother-in-law never mentioned the dowry again. Her husband Zhang Xiaohua was well aware of his mother's excesses and severely criticized her behavior on the wedding night.
Indeed, Zhang Xiaohua's mother's behavior makes people angry. The bride should have given a bride price to the man's family. Liu Juan's parents have taken a big step and won't accept the bride price. She is not only ungrateful, but also greedy, and even wants to monopolize the dowry money given to her by Liu Juan's parents. I don't think anyone will tolerate such a thing. Fortunately, Liu Juan was smart and quick-witted, and he didn't do things impulsively. Instead, he skillfully resolved the embarrassing scene with one sentence.
It is estimated that through this incident, Liu Juan's mother-in-law finally knows what stealing chickens and costly rice is. Now that the daughter-in-law is married, she is a member of the family. Only when the mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law as her family first will the daughter-in-law treat her mother-in-law as her own mother. What's more, it is even more important to cherish a daughter-in-law who doesn't dislike her family's poverty.
People are mutual. Don't bully everyone like a fool. You know, as an old man, you should first consider the happiness of your children, not want to take advantage of the younger generation! As the saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings. If you only care about the interests of money, you will never get the happiness of family happiness!
