"Then there's nothing we can do. I can't figure it out myself, and no one else can persuade me. Either she gives in, or her daughter gives in. There has to be a compromise between mother and daughter." Zheng Shichu couldn't stand those who force their children to get married. My parents seem to be unable to live without getting married. I really can’t understand their brain circuits.
Li Yu heard Zheng Shichu's words and nodded in agreement: "That's true, but I can guess that the one who will compromise in the end will be my niece."
"Your sons already have girlfriends. Are they going to get married and have children soon? It's great that you can be a grandmother at such a young age." Li Yu said with some envy. Her own son got married late, in his thirties. No kids yet.
Zheng Shichu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that fast, because my son hasn't saved up the money for the bride price that his girlfriend's family wants. If the bride price is not enough, I don't know if the marriage can happen."
Li Yu asked curiously: "How much is the bride price?"
"It seems to cost half a million. I heard him say that the bride price from his girlfriend is relatively heavy." Zheng Shichu replied.
"Five hundred thousand?" Li Yu was a little surprised, "Your son's girlfriend has a good family?" After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary families would not ask for such a large gift when marrying their daughter, except for those who are born into a wealthy family.
Zheng Shichu chuckled and said, "It's just an ordinary family. One of her parents is a company employee and the other is a kindergarten teacher."
Li Yu was immediately confused: "Sister, don't think I'm being blunt. Your son's girlfriend's family situation is average, right? Why do you need so many colorful gifts?"
"I don't know, maybe her family thinks their daughter is worth the gift money." Zheng Shichu shook his head and said.
In fact, she knew the reason. In the original owner's life, Xu Xiaorou insisted on asking for a bride price of 500,000 yuan. In addition to asking Wu Li to prove his "love" for her, it was also because her parents had a son, and Xu Xiaorou's bride price had to be given to her younger brother. Keep it for future wives.
Wu Li couldn't save a dime himself. He was a moonlight earner every month. The five hundred thousand gift money forced the original owner to find a way. All kinds of morals kidnapped the old mother of the original owner. The original owner really felt that he was talking about it. It was her natural responsibility to earn betrothal money for her son, so in addition to working as a nanny for her employer, she also sold the small house in her hometown. However, the small house was not valuable and she only bought it for more than 100,000 yuan. The original owner had to borrow another 20,000 yuan from her employer. One hundred thousand, I scraped together here and there, and finally managed to collect half a million yuan as a gift.
But after collecting the betrothal gifts and getting married, Wu Li and Xu Xiaorou were unwilling to give in, because everyone had their own house in a big city, but they had to rent a house... So Wu Li complained in front of the original owner, They asked the original owner to provide money to help them buy a house and pay the down payment. If they didn't help, it would be selfish and cruel of the original owner.
But the original owner has not paid back the 200,000 yuan he owes his employer. Where can he find the money to help them pay the down payment? Therefore, Wu Li and Xu Xiaorou kept arguing and said that if they did not help them buy a house, they would not care about the original owner when he got old.
The original owner was an ordinary woman with little education and old-fashioned ideas. She definitely wanted her children and grandchildren to be filial and to support her in her old age. The threat of Wu Li and Xu Xiaorou hit her mark just right. She was afraid that she would really die when she got old. She was kicked out of the house by her son and daughter-in-law and lived on the street, so she had to rack her brains and find ways to make money to buy a house.
She was just a nanny. She had no other skills except being a nanny. Even if she tried her best, she could only earn an extra thousand yuan a month, which was far from buying a house. However, Wu Li and Xu Xiaorou kept urging her. It made her anxious and worried, and she soon became depressed. Finally one day she couldn't bear it anymore and jumped from a tall building.
The original owner just took her son too seriously and didn't think about it. At the beginning, when her son and daughter-in-law were so confident and ungrateful, she could just kick them out of the house.
Zheng Shichu felt bad as soon as she thought of those two arrogant people, so she was not in the mood to dance with Li Yu. She said something to Li Yu and pushed her trolley away.
Mo Li was on the phone with his agent at this time: "The show is about to start the day after tomorrow. Where do you want me to find a suitable model now? The one I finally found broke his leg. It's really... I'm furious!"
"Just pick one? Just pick your head! I paid for that show
After more than a year, I don’t know how much effort was spent, each model was carefully selected, and now you tell me to just find one? are you kidding me? "
"Invite female stars from the entertainment industry? Which female star in the industry can look like that when wearing my clothes? If I invite them, will the audience look at my clothes or the female stars?"
Li Qiye angrily lost his temper with his manager, and finally hung up the phone.
Zheng Shichu was slowly pushing his trolley in the night wind. When he saw this tall man with a hot temper, he looked like a cock that had just been beaten. After hanging up the phone, he became dejected, with a hammer on his head. The fiery red hair seemed to have faded a lot.
"What are you looking at?" Li Li noticed Zheng Shichu's gaze and couldn't help but said to her.
"Look at the rooster getting angry." Zheng Shichu replied with a raised eyebrow.
Li Qiye was stunned for a while before he realized that she was talking about him. His face suddenly turned even uglier. He was so angry that the veins on his temples were about to burst: "What did you say? Call me a rooster? You don't want to live..."
As he spoke, he glared at Zheng Shichu angrily. However, when he saw Zheng Shichu's appearance clearly, the words he had not finished suddenly fell silent. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Zheng Shichu intently, his eyes seemed to be glowing green. Light is like a wolf staring at its prey.
"Do you want to be a model?!" Li Li instantly forgot about his disagreement with Zheng Shichu and grabbed Zheng Shichu excitedly and asked.
When Zheng Shichu heard what he said, his eyes widened and he asked him, "What did you say?"
"I asked you if you want to be a model. I happen to need a very distinctive model, and I think you are very suitable. How about it? Do you want to be my model? I will pay you!" Li Qiye replied quickly.
Zheng Shichu looked at Mo Li with suspicion. He had red hair on his head, tight leather pants and a fancy shirt on his upper body. He was very suspicious of the content of his words and blurted out: "You are not a liar, are you?"
Li Qiye's face suddenly darkened and he said, "How could I be a liar? If you don't believe it, I can take you to my studio right away and let you see it with your own eyes."
"You sound more like a liar when you say this." Zheng Shichu still didn't believe that the man in front of him with a murderous look could be someone who could put on a show.
