Home.
The air is a bit condensed.
"bride price?"
"What happened to the bride price?"
"What requests did their family make?"
Han Jing and Ci Lifen immediately started asking questions.
Xie Guoliang, Xia Yanzhen, Xie Ran, the three of them sat on the sofa, saying nothing for a while. From this, it can be seen that the Fang family must have made some excessive demands, otherwise they would not be able to let them have such a happy event. With this look, even Xie Ran, who was the most excited before, became silent.
Generally, like their Xie family or Fang family, this kind of political-family marriage and combination are mostly due to political needs and integration. The economic aspect is not important at all. Gifts and dowries are mutual meanings. That's it. As long as you don't lose face or lose etiquette, others won't care about it, because the biggest gifts and benefits have been obtained in politics, and there is no need to use money to make up for it, but the Xie family and the Fang family The relationship is more complicated. This is not a political marriage in the traditional sense. After all, they are two feuding families. The two younger generations who have the strongest desire to marry are not family members. Many of the elders are not She was unwilling to do so, so the problem naturally arose. The Fang family obviously didn't want Xiaoling to marry into their Xie family and become a scorned wife in vain, so although the two of them reluctantly agreed to the marriage, the bride price was But something went wrong and I thought it would embarrass Xie Ran.
"Guoliang."
"what happened."
Han Jing and Ci Lifen were very concerned.
Finally, it was Xia Yanzhen who said: "Our two families met at the Qianmen Restaurant in the morning, and we all had a good conversation at first. The attitude of the third child of the Fang family was also okay, but later during the meal, we discussed Xiaoran and Xiaoling's marriage, okay? Xiaoling's mother actually gave us a form with many requirements for the betrothal gift. It's so detailed! Haven't you seen the money?" Xia Yanzhen got angry when she mentioned this.
Han Jing said: "What are you asking for?"
"Look, I can't even say it." Xia Yanzhen rummaged through her bag and handed the list to Han Jing, "They are so poor that they are crazy!"
"Mom." Xie Ran said: "People are marrying their daughters. It is normal to make some demands. In the past struggles, our family was slightly on their side. If the Fang family married Xiaoling to our family, it would not be a good idea. I can’t get over it. Many high-level officials are paying attention to this matter. Do you think this is the case? Xiaoling’s family must be able to take advantage of it.”
Xia Yanzhen said: "Yes. This is the reason, but they can't go too far. Let your aunt see it. What are the requirements?"
Hearing this, Xie Ran stopped talking.
Xie Jing and Xie Hao also came over.
Xie Hao stood behind Han Jing and read while reading, "First, the groom's family must provide a villa of no less than 300 square meters as a wedding room. It must be a single-family villa. The location is within the Fifth Ring Road. The house book requires If Xiaoling's name appears, it will become the joint property of the couple after marriage. Secondly, before the engagement, the man must provide a cash gift of no less than 10 million for the daily necessities of both parties after marriage. Thirdly... "
Xie Jing was speechless, "Don't be the third one. The first requirement is impossible. A single-family villa within the fifth ring road? More than 300 square meters? According to the current housing price, this must be at least tens of millions. The betrothal gift Want another ten million? Isn’t this a joke? Our family doesn’t run a bank!”
Xie Hao was also shocked by the list of betrothal gifts.
After reading it, Han Jing said, "What's Xiaoling's attitude?"
Hearing this, Xia Yanzhen was a little relieved, "Xiaoling is a pretty good child. She didn't know about this. She got anxious with her parents at that time and snatched the gift list and tore it up. But even a child can do this." Unable to decide, Xiaoling's mother finally took out a new copy from her bag and printed out a lot of them. Obviously she had already prepared for this, and no matter what Xiaoling said, she would bite the bullet to death, as long as there was one of them that couldn't reach them. If the family's request is met, then the marriage will not be completed. When it is satisfied, it will be married. "
Han Jing hummed and looked at Ci Lifen, "Is the old man asleep?"
"Go to bed early," Ci Lifen said.
Han Jing nodded, "Then I'll call Guobang back."
The betrothal gift is indeed a big problem. Xie Guoliang's family can't afford it without asking. Not to mention the money for the villa, they can't afford even a 10 million betrothal gift.
Han Jing was about to call Xie Guobang.
But Dong Xuebin, who was eating leftovers, stopped him and said, "Mom, what's the big deal? My dad is very busy, so don't call me dad." Dong Xuebin took out his wallet and pulled out a pile of bank cards. A platinum card from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was gently placed on the table. "There are about 12 million in this card."
Xie Ran was anxious, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Xia Yanzhen also immediately said: "Xuebin, you are not needed!"
Dong Xuebin didn't listen. He touched his pocket again and took out a bunch of keys and put them on the table. "This is the villa that Siji Qingqiao and I share. It's a single-family home, more than 300 meters away. It's within the Fourth Ring Road. Xiaoran, you go first." Just take the key away and wait until the house is checked in two days. The landlord will be changed to you. "
Xie Ran smacked his lips, "No, no, I absolutely can't ask for your money. You bought my car. You also helped us organize this marriage between Xiaoling and I. I..."
Xie Guoliang said: "Xiao Bin, take it back quickly!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Uncle and aunt, you two listen to me on this matter, it's settled. Actually, if you look carefully at the requirements on the betrothal gift list, it's not that the Fang family wants these things and money, but that they are all It was prepared for Xiaoran and Xiaoling after their marriage, and the money was all given to them as a couple, so what's the point of feeling distressed about it? I originally prepared these things for Xiaoran's wedding, so I should have paid for them already. ,hehe."
Xie Ran kept waving his hands, "That's really not possible!"
Dong Xuebin said: "There's nothing wrong with it. We're all a family and you're still polite to me? It's not like you don't know about my villa. I can't live there more than once a year. Huilan is not in the capital either. It's almost empty all year round." What's the use of it? If I want to live in it, how about I live in a courtyard? So, if the house is vacant, it will be vacant. It can be used as a wedding room for you and Xiaoling. You can decorate it after you get married. Let’s take a look. Although we only bought it two or three years ago, Huilan and I have lived in the house. Let’s renovate it.”
Xie Ran said: "Brother-in-law!"
Xia Yanzhen said: "Your villa is now worth at least 60 to 70 million. We absolutely cannot have this. There is no such thing as this!"
Indeed, although Dong Xuebin didn't have much money when he bought this villa, it has appreciated a lot now and is no longer the original price.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this, okay? Auntie, I may not have said it before, do you see the wedding rings of me and Huilan?" Dong Xuebin raised his hand, the huge pink ring on his hand The diamond is particularly conspicuous. "I bought this from the auction. Including Huilan's, these rings cost hundreds of millions. The courtyard house in Houhai and I are also worth hundreds of millions. You can Why should I keep so much money? To be honest with you, I’m not bragging. I really want to spend the money but I don’t know how to spend it. What does it matter if I give you a villa for Xiaoran’s wedding this time? The gift was too small, and I thought it was a second-hand house, not a new one.”
Xie Ran said hurriedly: "Your money is yours, I..."
"How can a family divide what's yours and mine?" Dong Xuebin interrupted: "You can take it if you are told to take it. It doesn't matter if it can be solved with money. If the Fang family wants this gift, let's just take it." "Here, your brother-in-law doesn't have anything else, and he still has some money. Even if the betrothal gift is increased ten times, our family can still afford it!"
Xie Hao laughed and gave a thumbs up, "Brother-in-law, these words are so domineering!"
Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen still strongly disagreed. In the past, Dong Xuebin bought a car for Xie Ran and Xie Jing, but it was a car worth hundreds of thousands to one million, which was still within the acceptable range, but this is different now. A villa plus more than 10 million bank cards, which is almost 100 million, how can they accept it
Finally, Han Jing spoke. She walked over and picked up the keys and bank card from the table, turned around and stuffed them into Xie Ran's hand. "Since your brother-in-law gave it to you, just take it. Xiao Bin is right. Haha, this kid lacks everything except this little money."
"Auntie..." Xie Ran didn't answer.
Han Jing gave him the dead piston, and then said to Xie Guoliang and his wife, "Guoliang, Yanzhen, you listen to my sister-in-law on this matter."
Xia Yanzhen said: "We can't take Xiaobin's money."
"It's not for you." Han Jing said with a smile: "That's what Xiaobin gave to Xiaoran. Xiaoran's marriage is such a big deal, so why should Xiaobin, as his brother-in-law, buy a villa for his children? Needless to say, I've decided on this matter!" Dong Xuebin sent the villa out without even thinking about it and took a bank card with more than 10 million yuan without blinking, which shows that Xiaobin values family and friendship more than other external things. It's much more important. As the mother-in-law, Han Jing also has a very respectable face, and she feels that her son-in-law has shown her face to him.
Xie Guoliang still resisted for a long time. He was not being polite, he really felt that he couldn't accept it. In terms of money, Xiao Bin had already contributed too much to the Xie family and it was inappropriate.
In the end, Han Jing pretended to be angry and darkened her face. Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen sighed and said nothing more.
Xie Ran gritted his teeth, holding the villa key and bank card in his hand. He really didn't know what to say. He looked at Dong Xuebin and said: "Brother-in-law, I..."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please say goodbye. I tremble all over when I see your expression."
Xie Jing smiled.
Xie Ran himself was also happy.
Dong Xuebin also finished his meal and said: "Hurry up and tell Xiaoling that the bride price is ready and you can get engaged anytime. Don't let Xiaoling worry about it and fall out with the family again."
Xie Ran nodded, "Okay, I'll fight." (To be continued...)
