Chapter 74: Getting off the bus (too lazy to think of a nickname No. 1 - Big brother will add more)
In the car, Zhang Yao talked the most.
Wang Hongcai occasionally interjected a sentence or two, but she did not dare to continue chatting with Li Mingshen.
Li Ming answered Zhang Yao's question selectively.
My cousin’s wedding is being held in the county town. Li Ming has been given a seat and can get there in four hours.
Li Ming knew that his cousin Yang Yang had just graduated two years ago, had a stable career, healthy parents, a garage, and was married.
In the eyes of most of his peers, Yang Yang's life has been more than half complete.
But he knew that his cousin's family's savings had been wiped out due to problems with the betrothal gift and house loan, and it was not as glamorous as it seemed.
In Chuanjian County, Ganzhou, the betrothal gift of 388,000 yuan is considered normal in the local area.
Because of the sky-high betrothal gifts, weddings in Ganzhou are called "selling wives" by netizens.
Li Ming remembers that there was a very popular dating show for royal mothers. When it came to Ganzhou, many "excellent women" appeared, such as the sister who opened her eyes and the sister who took care of her baby... Their appearance also attracted the attention of the young people in Shanglong Kingdom. world.
What a coincidence.
Zhang Yao and Wang Hongcai in the back seat of the car are both girls from Ganzhou. They have reached the marriageable age, but they have not gotten married.
I don’t know if it’s because of the bride price that no one cares about them.
Li Ming was curious about this question, but he was too lazy to ask.
He has already seen that Zhang Yao is a common woman.
If I talk to her about this topic, I'm afraid she will say something shocking.
The most common topics Zhang Yao talked about on the road were to keep introducing her experiences, what brand of cosmetics she usually uses, and her favorite thing to do is to practice yoga... She seemed to be doing her best in front of Li Ming. Promote yourself as if you are selling a product.
Li Ming kept talking to her, which made her more and more excited, as if he had opened up a chatterbox and kept chattering.
Seeing Li Ming's brief silence, Zhang Yao also stopped.
She looked up at the luxurious interior of U8, and then looked at the handsome Li Ming with her peripheral vision, and couldn't help but feel confused.
She asked tentatively: "Cousin, you didn't come just now, so I told Hongcai that you must be a handsome guy, and it turned out that you are not only handsome but also successful in your career.
It's convenient to talk to my sister. Tell me, what kind of job do you do in Jiangcheng?"
Wang Hongcai also sat up and looked at Li Ming curiously.
What has Li Ming been doing all these years to be able to drive a million-dollar car?
Li Ming had expected it. After thinking about it, he answered seriously: "What I usually do most is delivering food and working as a loader."
"Eh! How is that possible!"
Hear Zhang Yao only smiled bitterly at this answer and did not continue to ask.
She had already seen that Li Ming was a little impatient, and she had to control it.
Wang Hongcai also noticed that Li Ming didn't want to talk to Zhang Yao.
After Zhang Yao smiled awkwardly, he continued: "Cousin, your cousin is already married, so you should be getting married soon."
After saying this, both women were looking forward to it.
Zhang Yao hoped that Li Ming would not have a girlfriend so that she would have a chance.
Wang Hongcai didn't know what she was expecting. She had inexplicable feelings for Li Ming from the bottom of her heart.
She also wanted to confirm whether Li Ming had a partner.
Li Ming said: "No, I'm still young."
Don't have a girlfriend?
Zhang Yao’s eyes were shining, and Wang Hongcai smiled subconsciously.
Zhang Yao smiled and said kindly: "It would be a pity not to find a girlfriend for such a handsome man. Add me on WeChat and I will introduce you to good-looking ones."
Add WeChat?
Li Ming declined politely: "I'm busy driving, let's do it later."
Zhang Yao: "Uh... okay."
Zhang Yao's test and show of goodwill After being rejected one after another by Li Ming.
She also realized that going too far was not enough, and after careful consideration, she adjusted her strategy.
She stopped talking and started chatting with Wang Hongcai.
Four hours later.
Just as we were about to enter the county town, there was a traffic jam due to a rear-end collision.
Li Ming made a phone call to Yang Shizhong.
Yang Shizhong smiled bitterly and said: "There's a traffic jam? Don't be in a hurry. The wedding venue hasn't been decorated yet. Whether it can be done today is a question."
Li Ming asked in surprise: "Yes. What happened?”
Yang Shizhong said helplessly: "We haven't discussed the drop-off fee. Oh, let's not talk about it. Just give me a call when you will arrive."
There was a quarrel at the other end, and Yang Shizhong hurriedly Hang up the phone. This time.
Zhang Yao's phone also rang, and Li Ming faintly heard crying.
Zhang Yao sighed and said: "Oh, Brother Ming, your cousin and the others got into a quarrel about the red envelope when getting off the bus.
I've given you a bride price of 388,000 yuan, why don't you give me another 66,000 yuan? Everyone will be happy if I give it to you, it's not necessary. "
Wang Hongcai explained to Li Ming: "Your cousin told me that because your sister-in-law's name was not written in the house book, her family temporarily increased the drop-off fee. "
Zhang Yao glanced at Li Ming, and she said: "The bride's name is not written on the house, so there is nothing wrong with asking for a drop-off fee. ”
Hearing this, Li Ming was silent.
This was just a one-sided statement between the two women. He still had to listen to what his cousin said before drawing a conclusion.
Half an hour later, Li Ming also drove into the Taoyuan Hotel.
Chuanjian County, Taoyuan Hotel.
Various large-scale events are specially held in the county.
The auditorium is on the first floor, opposite the parking lot, and the design and layout are very reasonable.
A car was parked on the side of the road.
Basically, it’s the woman’s family’s fleet, with Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen cars.
Li Ming saw Yang Yang standing in front of an Audi A6 wearing Chinese wedding clothes, with a look of helplessness and anger on his face.
Yang Shizhong and his aunt were anxious nearby.
Yang Yang looked at He Xiu in the back seat of the car. He felt so strange...
He raised his head and glanced at his parents behind him who were haggard because of the wedding, as well as those who came from the village to attend his big day. relatives.
Some passers-by who were not too concerned about the excitement had already taken out their mobile phones to record the scene... This made him feel humiliated.
Yang Yang held back his anger and said: "He Xiu, please write your name on the car, and I gave you a full 388,000 yuan as a bride price.
My family paid for everything for the wedding banquet, and I still need 6 Do you think the fare of RMB 60,000 is reasonable?”
With a sob, He Xiu said in a low voice, “Yang Yang, but my parents said so. , if I don’t get off the bus for 60,000 yuan, they won’t recognize me as their daughter! What can I do? Do I have to choose between two options when I get married?”
Yang Yang laughed angrily. Not wanting the relatives next to him to see the joke, he whispered angrily: "Your parents? Your parents! They have always used you as a bargaining chip to increase prices.
For this wedding, my family not only spent all their money, but also took on loans. Where do you want me to get 66,000 now? "
He Xiudao: "They are my parents after all. I can't stay away from my parents' home for the rest of my life..."
Bang!
Yang Yang couldn't help but feel in his heart In anger, he punched the roof of the car and roared: "There is no fare! Do you still want to get married? ”
Seeing this scene, relatives from both sides quickly gathered around and stopped the furious Yang Yang.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law rushed over immediately, stared at Yang Yang and cursed: "Yang Yang! What do you want to do? I don't know how many men are chasing my Xiuxiu. You got angry before you even entered the door. You will pay back later!"
Yang’s father and Yang’s mother were also frightened and quickly grabbed Yang Yang.
He then said to the parents of the He family: "In-laws, in-laws, don't be excited, don't be excited, we have something to discuss."
Mother Yang turned around and scolded: "Yang Yang, you kid , Don’t frighten Xiuxiu on such a big day.”
Yang Shizhong also scolded Yang Yang with a wrinkled face: “Don’t say such unlucky words!” >
Yang Yang smiled helplessly and said: "Dad! Mom! Where can I find these sixty-six thousand now?"
Hearing this, the Yang family's parents were silent. When they looked at the two "in-laws", their faces He was indifferent and stood in front of the car door.
Yang Yang was very aggrieved by such a scene.
His parents have already achieved this step, and they also hope very much that they can start a family.
Because of this marriage, their family was not satisfied with everything. Now the mother-in-law's family is sitting on the ground raising the price, as if they are determined to get him.
If he hadn't already had a relationship with He Xiu and his parents had been suppressing him, he would have exploded long ago.
Both sides were silent and the atmosphere was depressing.
At this time, a huge monster slowly drove over. Everyone looked at it and saw that they were looking up at U8, and they were all slightly surprised.
This kind of luxury car is rare in the county. It can be regarded as scarce. Only the rich can afford it.
Saw this strange luxury car.
The pressure on the Yang family's father and son became even greater.
The bride’s family drove a fleet of 15 vehicles, and they barely managed to get 5 vehicles together.
It’s because the bride’s family is powerful and the groom’s family doesn’t have anyone who can talk to the bride’s family and support them, so the bride’s family is allowed to sit here and raise the price.
This U8 luxury car is unknown to the Yang family, so it must be the car of the woman’s family.
Isn’t this adding insult to injury!
