Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"You can buy the house later, but what about the bride price?"

At this time, Lin Xiudi also came out of the kitchen, and she casually asked this sentence.

Wang Dashan hurriedly replied:

"Auntie, the matter of the bride price is negotiable; you just name a figure, and I will do my best to meet your requirements."

Wang Dashan was speaking sincerely.

He actually wasn't short of that bit of money; he really could do his best to meet their requirements.

However, once he said this, Lin Xiudi and Du Guoqing didn't believe him, because Wang Dashan had already left them with an impression of being poor and mean.

And Du Xiaojuan was dissatisfied; the reason she was dissatisfied was that before coming, she had already told Wang Dashan that no matter what figure her parents asked for, Wang Dashan had to haggle and absolutely could not agree at once, but now Wang Dashan seemed to have forgotten this matter.

"With your current conditions, are you really sure you can come up with the figure we want?"

Du Guoqing's tone was ice-cold, and he looked down on Wang Dashan very much.

"I can, definitely can!"

Wang Dashan said decisively.

But this only earned him a more contemptuous look:

"You'd better not just talk big!"

Lin Xiudi said coldly, and she also said: "This is the most important matter; it's not a joke."

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly spoke up at this time:

"Dashan, just do what you can afford; don't forget what I told you before."

Du Xiaojuan had already reminded him very bluntly.

But under the double attack of Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi, he obviously didn't remember those things Du Xiaojuan had told him before very well.

At this moment, Wang Dashan hoped even more to prove himself, that he truly had the ability, and that he truly deserved their daughter.

"Uncle, Auntie, just say it; how much financial capability do you want?"

Wang Dashan asked like this.

Du Guoqing said:

"I only have this one daughter, and marrying into your side counts as marrying far away; after my daughter marries you, she might rarely come back, so I want 188,800 as the bride price; isn't that too much?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly answered:

"Not too much, not too much, this is absolutely no problem!"

He really felt it was no problem.

But Du Xiaojuan was unwilling:

"Dad, this isn't too much? According to the customs here, a bride price over 100,000 counts as too much; you've seen Dashan's conditions, how can he come up with so much money? In my opinion, at most 88,000!"

Du Xiaojuan was angered to death by Wang Dashan; she had repeatedly told him to haggle before, but now for his so-called dignity and face, he actually agreed at once.

As a result, she now had to personally speak up to haggle with her own family.

"Du Jianmei, you haven't even married out yet, and you're already turning your elbow outward, right!"

Du Guoqing saw his own daughter speaking for Wang Dashan, and his face was immediately full of displeasure.

"I really raised you for nothing all these years!"

Du Guoqing coldly scolded.

But Du Xiaojuan was expressionless, with no ripples in her heart.

Because she had long been used to her father's attitude.

Her parents favoring sons over daughters wasn't something that had happened in just a day or two.

"Wang Dashan, say something!"

Du Xiaojuan looked at Wang Dashan at this time; she hoped Wang Dashan could be a bit braver, not be a coward, not be manipulated by others all at once, because she knew what kind of faces her parents were; if Wang Dashan was manipulated by her parents all at once, then the matter wouldn't end so easily.

However, Wang Dashan didn't want to lose face anymore.

Having just been looked down on by Du Guoqing, he felt he had already lost enough face.

So now he said:

"Xiao Juan, your parents want 188,800 as the bride price, then let it be 188,800; anyway, I'm not unable to pay."

Du Xiaojuan was angered to the extreme by Wang Dashan's behavior.

What was she haggling for?

Wasn't it so that their two people's future days could be a bit better?

How could Wang Dashan not understand her!

But actually, Wang Dashan couldn't be blamed either.

Du Xiaojuan hadn't explained anything, hadn't made clear her family situation, hadn't said what kind of people her parents were, hadn't told him why she had to do this; Wang Dashan came in a fog, and just as he entered the house, he was looked down on and disliked by Du Xiaojuan's parents for no reason; anyone couldn't stand this.

Most importantly, Wang Dashan wasn't incapable; he was forced by Du Xiaojuan to pretend to be incapable.

This feeling of being useless and wronged, he really didn't want to endure anymore.

"This is what you said; you'd better not go back on your word!"

Du Guoqing finally had a hint of a smile on his face.

Lin Xiudi then called out:

"Stop talking and come eat lunch!"

She then said to Lin Jiabao, who had been playing on her mobile phone:

"Jiabao, come eat!"

Lin Jiabao didn't look up:

"Wait, let me finish this round first!"

Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi stopped paying attention to Lin Jiabao and instead called Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan to eat.

After all, it was Jiabao; naturally he could do as he pleased, and etiquette wouldn't restrain him.

Du Guoqing also said to Du Xiaojuan:

"What are you sitting there for? Hurry up and serve the food! You're getting more and more unreasonable!"

Du Xiaojuan was full of anger, but she still got up to serve the food in the end.

After lunch, Du Xiaojuan made an excuse that she had to return for the night shift tonight, and she and Wang Dashan left in a hurry.

On the way back, Du Xiaojuan drove, and Wang Dashan sat in the passenger seat, because Wang Dashan had drunk alcohol and couldn't drive.

Du Xiaojuan had been holding in her anger, and now she vented it:

"Wang Dashan, you wooden fish head! Weren't you speaking so well before we came? No matter how much bride price my parents asked for, you were supposed to haggle. How could you agree in one breath!"

Wang Dashan thought it wasn't a big deal:

"It's just 188,800, isn't it? It's not like I can't afford it."

Du Xiaojuan got even angrier:

"Is this about 188,800? If you can't do what I say, don't promise me!"

Wang Dashan was extremely depressed, and he pulled a long face:

"I really can't figure it out. They are the parents who gave birth to and raised you. How could you treat them like that? We earn quite a lot. Not to mention 188,800 in bride price, even if we gave them 188,800 directly, it wouldn't be excessive, would it? Du Xiaojuan, I've discovered you're so cold-blooded!"

Du Xiaojuan treated her own parents like that, so how would she treat outsiders? How would she treat him, Wang Dashan? Wang Dashan didn't dare think further.

Du Xiaojuan said coldly:

"You don't know my family situation, so don't casually judge my behavior!"

Wang Dashan retorted:

"Yes, I don't know your family situation, but why don't you tell me? If you don't say, how can I know? Tell me what to do, and I'll listen to you, but at least give me a reason. Don't let me lose face in a daze. The worst part is that I originally didn't need to lose this face at all. Don't you know that face and dignity are the most important things for a man!"

Du Xiaojuan saw Wang Dashan getting more and more excited, and suddenly realized she couldn't keep arguing with him, otherwise they might really end up quarreling.

She indeed hadn't done well enough. Perhaps she really should have explained her family situation to Wang Dashan before coming, but she had her own misgivings. If she told him her family situation, she was afraid Wang Dashan wouldn't cooperate with her in putting on this act.

So finally she took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and said:

"I admit I didn't explain the situation clearly to you. That's my fault. I apologize to you. Is that okay now? I'll explain my family situation to you clearly right now. I hope that after I say it, you can understand and support my decision. When we hold the wedding later, you must follow my arrangements for how to greet my parents' relatives. Can you agree to this request of mine?"

This time Wang Dashan didn't agree immediately, but said:

"Tell me your family situation first."
