When I woke up the next day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Lin Feifei's delicate face.
I was slightly stunned. Normally, my parents stay at home, and she would get up as early as possible. Today, she was lying in bed playing with her mobile phone. This was not her style.
In her absence, Lin Feifei smiled and said, "Are you awake? I've been awake for a long time. I'm waiting for you to go out together!"
I immediately realized that she was afraid of going out alone and didn't know how to face my parents. I smiled, gathered the loose hair on her forehead, and comforted her, "Don't worry, my parents don't blame you if they know this, and they won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Feifei smiled sadly, "I know my uncle and aunt are nice people, but I'm still nervous and don't dare to face it alone."
So I went out with her. My mother was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. The smell of egg fried rice could not arouse any appetite.
The atmosphere at home was as awkward as a silent battlefield. Everyone was in their own corner, doing their own thing silently.
Outside the window, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the sunlight could not penetrate through the clouds, making the whole world look gloomy and depressing.
Lin Feifei squeezed my hand, tightened and loosened it, and took the initiative to say: "Uncle, aunt, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. My mother shouldn't have spoken like that yesterday, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, Lin Feifei bowed.
I have said that my parents are kind-hearted people, and they know that Lin Feifei is not to blame for this matter. The old couple couldn't bear Lin Feifei's bow.
My parents hurried over, and my mother held her hand and sighed, "Feifei, you are a good girl. Your uncle and I both know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but our family really can't afford these three hundred thousand... …”
Although my dad's face was always tense, the old comrade's frozen expression was somewhat relaxed. He also sighed and said nothing.
Lin Feifei took a breath, her eye circles were a little red, "Auntie, Yu Bin and I are together because of him as a person, and it has nothing to do with money. Maybe the meeting yesterday was too sudden, and everyone was not familiar with each other for the first time... "
Lin Feifei tried hard to smooth things over, and my mother kept saying yes. She also felt that the first meeting yesterday was a bit abrupt, and she regretted that we should not have acted too hastily. At this time, I quickly comforted my mother.
Lin Feifei and my parents reached an agreement, but if the issue of 300,000 yuan is not resolved, even if it is temporarily shelved, it will have to be faced sooner or later.
In fact, the two parents standing behind us have experienced marriage and are more practical about marriage. They all stood in the tug-of-war from their own standpoints, without thinking about the feelings of Lin Feifei and me.
Deng Meijia's move was extremely subtle. She knew my family couldn't afford so much money, so she deliberately said 300,000 to make us bankrupt. Her fundamental reason is that she thinks my family is superior. From the moment Lin Feifei and I got together, I was ready to fight a tough battle. It was just the two of us who lived together. As long as she and I recognized each other, that was enough.
I dare not think about what my world would be like if I lost Lin Feifei.
The betrothal gift is just the first obstacle between Lin Feifei and I. If we can't get over this, what's the point of talking about the future?
Deng Meijia set up obstacles in order to break up the situation. My parents had no experience in fighting against capital, so they really got her way. So Lin Feifei and I discussed it, and we each went to our respective mothers to give each other some thought first. Work.
When my family's internal affairs are in doubt, I ask my mother. As long as my mother is conquered, my father's side will be easily solved.
I asked Xu Hui to help me with the live broadcast for a day. After dinner in the evening, my father didn't want to go downstairs, so I accompanied my mother to go downstairs to dance in the square.
I was thinking about how to open the topic, but unexpectedly my mother came straight to the point, "Yu Bin, Mom wants to talk to you about something."
My heart skipped a beat, "You tell me."
My mother sighed, "Mom, I'll give it to you first. Our family will be able to come up with 100,000 yuan as a gift, and we'll borrow some for you and your relatives. You can raise some by yourself, and you should be able to get 200,000 yuan." But definitely not 300,000."
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, like a storm raging in my heart. I gritted my teeth and said with a smile:
"Mom, please stay away from my dad.
Go borrow money, I have the money, don't worry about it. "
How could I empty my parents' wallets to fulfill my love, and then ask them to borrow money shamelessly?
My mother glared, "Where did you get the money? You think I'm stupid for being your mother! You spent a lot of money when your father was hospitalized. Let me ask you, what is Feifei's attitude towards this bride price?"
"Feifei thinks the bride price is just a formality and she doesn't value it."
My mother hummed and said, "I thought about it today, maybe your mother-in-law looks down on our family, so she deliberately said 300,000, hoping to make you two gay."
I couldn't help but smile.
No one is a fool. My mother thought about it and realized that no one is a fool. Anyone who treats others as fools is a fool.
I comforted my mother, "Feifei will go talk to her mother, so don't worry about it. We will discuss the bride price first and then report to you."
My mother sighed and said melancholy: "Hey... you said that if you were with Zhou Shutong, you probably wouldn't have such things."
I couldn't laugh or cry, so I came back again.
Zhou Shutong almost became a pain in my mother's heart.
I thought my mother was going to force Lin Feifei and I to break up, but luckily she didn't say that. If we go back a few years, they will definitely force us to break up, but now they probably know that they can't convince me, so they just go with the flow!
Lin Feifei didn't get home until nine o'clock in the evening. With my parents here, she didn't dare to throw away her shoes, vagina, etc. as usual, and only dared to "indulge" when she returned to our room.
She changed clothes in front of me, which reminded me of a nursery rhyme.
The little white rabbit, white and white, so cute jumping around...
"I called my mother today. She said she would catch the high-speed train tomorrow morning and wanted you to give her a ride. Do you have time?"
I raised the corner of my mouth, "She wants to talk to me alone!"
"If you don't want to see her off, I'll tell her that you have something to do."
"It's okay, I'll go see her off! Just in time to chat with her about the bride price."
Lin Feifei had a look of astonishment on her face, "Are you talking to her? Don't start an argument."
Her worries are not unreasonable. The main reason is that Deng Meijia has a bad attitude. Although she and I dislike each other, she is the future mother-in-law after all, and she still needs the most basic respect.
I quickly reassured her that I would never fight back if hit or scolded.
The next morning, Lin Feifei went out early to "go to the clock" and I went to the meeting alone.
When we arrived at the hotel, Deng Meijia was checking out at the front desk. I helped her carry her luggage to the trunk like a doorman, and then walked away.
From the moment I met her, Deng Meijia showed a very arrogant look. She smiled, deliberately prolonged her tone, and said arrogantly: "Yu Bin, how is your family talking about the bride price? How are you talking about it?" Do you have to come out?"
I raised my eyes and glanced at the central rearview mirror. There was a sarcastic smile on her lips. I looked back and said calmly:
"Isn't it just three hundred thousand? What our family brought is more valuable than this three hundred thousand."
Deng Meijia was stunned and said doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Really, I have a sincere heart. There is only Feifei in my heart, and I can't change it for a thousand dollars."
"...Yu Bin, are you playing with me on purpose?" Deng Meijia was a little crazy.
I took out a deep breath and said:
"Auntie, what I said is true. My family doesn't have 300,000 yuan, but we have to look at our family's conditions, right? The bride price itself is a blessing to the couple, and we can't turn the blessing into a burden, right? "
Deng Meijia laughed and said, "Your family's conditions are not good, so of course I need to pay more for the bride price. Otherwise, how can I provide my daughter with a living security?"
The dispute between my parents and her about the bride price is basically due to different concepts, like a deadlock that cannot be untied.
She said it so sincerely that I almost believed it.
"Auntie, our family really can't afford 300,000 yuan, so I'd better save money first!
"
Deng Meijia snorted, "You promised me before that if you couldn't give Feifei a good material life, you would leave her. Have you forgotten these words?"
In fact, she didn't forget it even if she didn't remind me. I said to her, "Of course I haven't forgotten it. Aren't I going uphill now?"
"It's none of your business to walk uphill. I asked you to help my friend carry groceries, but you refused."
My heart moved.
No wonder she has seen my nose is not my nose and my face is not my face in the past two days, and she is seeking revenge!
She suddenly mentioned this matter now, and it seemed that she wanted to use the bride price to force me to give in and help her carry the goods.
I pondered for a moment and then said, "I can't help it. We have just established a joint venture recently. I can't decide on many things!"
"A joint venture? What company was it established with? Who can't open a company now?"
"Chen Liquan, Mr. Chen, do you know?"
I actually deliberately mentioned the name of Old Fox. Chen Liquan is not very capable, but he has a good reputation. He has been on TV many times. I hope his name can scare Deng Meijia.
Deng Meijia was shocked and couldn't hide the surprise in her voice, "Chen Liquan? Is it Mr. Chen who started selling barbecued sausages? Are you working under him?"
"Cooperation, we are cooperating. I didn't want to sign, but he insisted on me signing."
I finally understand that in the workplace, as long as you dare to brag, people will really dare to believe it. Deng Meijia believed it, and her attitude toward me suddenly changed, "Yu Bin...can you introduce me to Mr. Chen?"
I deliberately said in an awkward tone: "Auntie, Mr. Chen is usually very busy, and your company sells clothing and we sell food. This is not right!"
Deng Meijia laughed a few times, "It's okay, just make friends! We are all in business, what if we can have some cooperation in the future! Do you think so?"
I chuckled, "As for our betrothal gift..."
"I'm taking a day off from everyone today. I will update once today (Wednesday) and Friday because my wife is going to have a minor surgery. Please understand. At other times, there will be at least 2 updates a day."
