Chapter 1625 We Have Mr. Gu, We Face It with a Smile
"Brother Ting's girlfriend is 30 years old, and she didn't catch up with family planning," Gu Junzhu said. "Her brother is two years younger than him. The country only started to implement the family planning policy when her brother was born."
Ye Xingbei said: "In fact, family planning is useless in some places. Many elderly people think that having many children and grandchildren is a blessing. In the small town where I lived when I was young, even if the family was poor, there were still four or five. Live hard."
"That's right," Mr. Gu sighed: "Old people in the past thought that having many children and grandchildren was a blessing... In fact, I think so too now... Once you get old, you want your home to be lively. If any of you If you like children, you will have more in the future. Our family can afford as many as you have, but if you don’t like it, you can have one. I don’t force you. You have your own thoughts and lives. As long as you are happy, you don’t care what you do. I support any decision."
Thinking of his mother and his uncles and aunts who died young, Yunjue wanted to slap himself a few times.
What kind of shit topic is he talking about?
Gu Junzhu also noticed the sadness of the old man, and changed the subject: "Brother Ting's girlfriend's family conditions are very poor, and the family has no money, and the elder brother of Ting's girlfriend can't marry a wife. The daughter married a divorced old man, and asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan before building a house for their eldest son and marrying his wife."
"It's very common in poor places to marry a son with a dowry gift from a girl," Ye Xingbei said. "The poorer the place, the more common it is."
For those who have no money, the son cannot marry a daughter-in-law, so he can only marry his daughter. Ask the other party for a dowry, accept the dowry, and marry his son a daughter-in-law.
Many poor people do this.
"But the local market price of Ting's girlfriend's dowry was 88,000, and their family asked for 200,000," Gu Junzhu said: "The eldest sister of Ting's girlfriend originally had a boyfriend, and the two had a very close relationship. Well, her eldest sister's boyfriend persuaded his parents to take out all his savings in order to marry her eldest sister, and borrowed tens of thousands more to make up 120,000 yuan, but Brother Ting's girlfriend's parents still disagreed. "
"Brother Ting's girlfriend's sister and her boyfriend have a very good relationship. According to the news from my subordinates, the sister of Ting's girlfriend knelt at the feet of her parents and begged her parents to accept less than tens of thousands of gifts, but Ting Brother and girlfriend's parents still haven't agreed to their marriage."
"Brother Ting's girlfriend's eldest sister said that she would not marry unless she was a boyfriend. The mother of Ting's girlfriend cut her wrists and committed suicide. She forced the elder sister of Ting's girlfriend to agree to marry the old man who paid 200,000. ...Brother Ting's girlfriend was only twenty-three years old when they got married, and that old man was forty-five."
Yunjue frowned: "Isn't this too cruel? Are they real parents?"
"It's really too much," Ye Xingbei also said: "In our small town, although many parents will use their daughter's dowry to marry their sons, they will try their best to find a good family for their daughters, not like theirs. Marrying a daughter in her twenties to a forty-year-old man for money, isn't that selling her daughter?"
"Yes," Gu Junzhu looked at Mr. Gu and smiled, "Dad, Brother Ting's girlfriend's second brother is 32 years old this year, and his younger brother is 28 years old this year, and he hasn't married a wife yet... You have to be mentally prepared !"
