Marry first and try love: After a flash marriage, the boss becomes wild and promiscuous

Chapter 1830 The Abacus Comes to Life

Guan Yongyan looked at Shen Xi with a fierce gaze, as if she could pounce on her at any moment and bite off a piece of her flesh.

“In our Lingcheng, if you don’t even have a bride price when you get married, you’ll be laughed at to death. I can’t afford to lose face like that.”

Unaffected, Shen Xi calmly asked her, "So your family's intention is to follow the wedding customs of Lingcheng?"

“That’s right. Since we’re getting married in Lingcheng, we should follow our local customs.”

"What is the standard bride price in Lingcheng?"

She couldn't say that herself, so Guan Yongyan gave Gong Jin'an a wink, and Gong Jin'an said, "Yan Yan and I have already discussed it, and the bride price will be 68.8 yuan."

Wow, he's so generous.

I heard that he now earns 2500 yuan a month as a temporary worker, which is barely enough to support himself, and he needs his teachers to subsidize him every month.

He casually mentions 68.8, acting as if he can earn that much.

"What about the dowry?"

"The dowry in their area is given arbitrarily, depending on the woman's circumstances."

Bao Lixia curled her lip, looking at the mercenary manner of these people from Hecheng, all they knew how to talk about was money.

“We don’t discriminate against girls. We only have one daughter, Yan Yan. Everything we have in the future will go to Yan Yan.”

Guan Yongyan gave Shen Xi a look that was full of superiority.

Shen Xi: ...I was just inexplicably shown up.

"The future is a matter for the future. Let's talk about the present. How much dowry should we give you now? After all, we can't let you die now just for that money, can we?"

"What did you say?" Guan Yongyan slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Calm down, calm down. I was just using an analogy. Why did you take it so seriously? We're all adults. Don't be so humorless."

"You!" Guan Yongyan was so annoyed that her breasts hurt.

Guan Guodong pressed his daughter down and said, "We've discussed the dowry. We'll give 99,000 yuan. I hope the young couple can stay together forever."

"Oh." Shen Xi understood: "The bride price is 68.8 yuan, and the dowry is 9.9 yuan. Is this what you call a double marriage regardless of the bride's family?"

Gong Jin'an blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, but Yan Yan said that his family only had one son, and all the money would eventually be his. Giving it to him early would be a way of supporting their family.

Besides, he knows exactly how much money his parents have; it's not like he can't afford it.

So what if we can afford it and give it? It's not going to anyone else, it's going to our own son. Yan Yan said she'd take the dowry back to their little family, keeping it in one hand and not letting it fall into the hands of outsiders, isn't that great?

Guan Yongyan winked at Gong Jin'an, who continued, "And the wedding house, Mom. You said you'd prepare a wedding house for me when I got married. Now that I've settled down in Lingcheng, I don't need this wedding house in Hecheng anymore. Let's just sell it. Give me the money, and I can buy a house in Lingcheng as my wedding house."

It's stated as if it were perfectly natural.

Lin Xiangxue was trembling with anger: "Xiaoxi, you speak for me."

She doesn't want to talk to her son now; if she says even one more word, she'll have a heart attack.

Shen Xi then asked, "How will we buy this wedding house? Will each family contribute half, or...?"

Bao Lixia interrupted her directly: "When a woman marries, she is expected to have food and clothing. In Lingcheng, women are not expected to pay for houses; that is a man's responsibility."

"Oh, so you mean we have to buy the house with cash, and the name of the house..."

“We’re not the kind of parents who are closed-minded. The house will be registered in their names, not mine or Lao Guan’s.”

Oh, they're quite open-minded and reasonable.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "We helped with the down payment, and the young couple is paying off the mortgage?"

Bao Lixia glanced at her: "Didn't you say that people from Hecheng are very rich? How come you have to take out a loan to buy a house in our small town? Jin'an promised our Yan Yan that she would pay in full and even buy her a car."

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

Bao Lixia beckoned with her finger: "The house and car will be provided by the groom, and you will also be responsible for the decoration, the banquet, wedding photos, and hardware. Yan Yan is our precious daughter. She only gets married once in her life, and we can't bear to see her suffer. We want to give her the best."

Guan Guodong nodded.

Very well, Shen Xi completely understood. So, you give your daughter the best, and they'll foot the bill, right?

"Let me summarize for you. Our family paid for everything, including the house, car, renovations, hardware, wedding banquet, and wedding photos. We also had to give a dowry of 68.8 yuan. And you, you only gave 9.9 yuan, wishing them a long and happy life together, right?"

Gong Jin'an scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed a bit unfair to his own family to say it like that.

Guan Yongyan glared at Shen Xi: "My parents raised me with great difficulty, and I married into your family and bore children for your Gong family. Isn't that enough?"

"But aren't you in Lingcheng? You haven't even entered our Gong family. Besides, didn't we agree to a no-marriage, no-remarriage arrangement? Our Gong family raised our son with great care and hardship, and he's even stayed in Lingcheng with you. Shouldn't you give us money?"

"you!"

Guan Guodong's face darkened as he looked at Gong Qiang: "In-laws, is it you who are here to discuss the marriage today, or is it her?" He pointed at Shen Xi: "The adults are still here; what right do the younger generation have to speak?"

Gong Qiang didn't even look at him: "Xiaoxi can be the head of our household."

"Gong Jin'an!" Guan Yongyan screamed, "What does your family mean by this?"

Shen Xi ignored the Guan family and looked at Gong Jin'an: "Do you know where the wedding room your teacher's wife prepared for you is?"

Gong Jin'an hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then you should also know that that house can now sell for over five million, right?"

Gong Jin'an's wedding room was acquired by Lin Xiangxue and her husband after selling their old house and adding some of their own money.

Although it's not in the very center, the location is good, and the school district is also good. Most importantly, it's just a short walk from where I live now.

It won't interfere with the young couple's time together, and it will also make it convenient for them to take care of their children in the future.

The elderly couple put a lot of thought into choosing this place.

Gong Jin paused for a moment, then nodded.

Shen Xi laughed: "I just checked the housing prices in Lingcheng. Even in the most prosperous area of ​​the city center, it's less than 20,000 yuan per square meter. May I ask, what kind of house do you want to buy? More than five million yuan? Or do you want to be a middleman and make a profit?"

Gong Jin'an quickly explained, "No, sister, Yan Yan and I have our eye on a villa. Although it's in the suburbs, the environment is really nice. Besides, my aunt and uncle are about to retire, so they can live with us when they retire. It will be more comfortable for them to retire in a villa."

Guan Yongyan immediately added, "In the future, if Uncle and Aunt want to visit Jin'an, they'll have a place to stay, won't they?"

Listen carefully, we're here to visit and take a look, not to let you stay, understand? You old fools!

Haha, I understand.
