Senior Gu looked at Wei Hanting and said, "Xiao Ting, you ca just in ti. Your girlfriend’s parents are talking with us about conditions. You should listen in, and afterwards, tell Dad how many of them you can et, right in front of Dad."
Conditions?
The color drained from Su Wanping’s face, and she quickly turned to look at her parents. "Dad, Mom, what conditions are you discussing with Uncle?"
"You silly child, of course, we’re discussing the terms for your marriage," Mother Su said happily. "Aren’t you and Hanting about to get engaged? We’re just discussing the dowry with our in-laws."
"Mom, we already discussed the dowry, didn’t we?" Su Wanping said urgently. "According to the rules of our hotown, whatever others give, Brother Ting will also give, ensuring it’s not short by a single cent."
"That’s not right," Mother Su said. "Pingping, you’re different from the girls in our hotown! They’re all just girls who aren’t worth much, graduating from high school is considered high education for them. But you’re different; you graduated from a prestigious university, you look beautiful and have a good figure. You’re the only golden phoenix in our area, your dowry can’t be the sa as those girls who aren’t worth much."
"Mom, there’s nothing different!" Su Wanping’s voice trembled. "Didn’t we agree that the dowry would follow the rules of our hotown? After I make money in the future, I’ll show my respect to you and Dad!"
Su Wanping was about to faint from worry.
She feared her parents might demand too much.
She had already agreed with her parents that before getting married, they would follow their hotown’s dowry.
After marriage, once she beca Mrs. Wei, she planned to find ways to elevate her family’s status.
If she had a good life, could she forget her own parents and siblings?
But Father Su and Mother Su thought otherwise.
A married daughter is like water that’s been spilled.
Once a daughter marries, she belongs to soone else’s family.
Just like their eldest daughter.
They found a business tycoon for their eldest daughter.
He was a bit older, but he had good conditions.
After marrying the tycoon, their eldest daughter lived in a small villa, drove a nice car, and had a chauffeur and servant at ho, living a comfortable life.
But after marrying the tycoon, she imdiately severed ties with them, not recognizing her own parents anymore.
Seeing how well their eldest daughter lived, they wanted to borrow so money and hoped their daughter would show filial respect.
She didn’t even allow them inside.
They created a scene at their eldest daughter’s door, crying and shouting until their voices went hoarse, but she never opened the door.
Later, they brought a group of relatives to make a scene, only to be told that their eldest daughter had moved.
As for where she moved, they still don’t know.
After raising a daughter for twenty years, all they received were the dowry gifts before marriage.
Once married with a husband’s family, the girl imdiately forgot her own parents.
Father Su and Mother Su feared Su Wanping might do the sa.
Once married, Su Wanping would belong to Wei Hanting.
If she becos like their eldest daughter, married and then turning her back on them, not giving them a single penny, how would they afford weddings for their second and youngest sons?
So the dowry must be settled before the marriage.
No money, no marriage.
They’ve seen this often.
The groom’s side, eager to marry quickly, will comply under pressure.
Wei Hanting is already forty and still single, of course, he’s anxious.
Finally finding soone as good as their Pingping, wouldn’t he want to quickly marry her?
