My name is Xiaogang, I am 28 years old, and I am an ordinary office worker. I was born in an ordinary rural family, and although my family was not wealthy, my parents always did their best to support me. I have been a diligent and studious child since I was a child, and after graduation, I entered a good company and now has a monthly income of about 10,000 yuan. However, in this society, my income can only be regarded as barely subsisting, and I can't talk about luxury at all.
At a friend's party, I met Xiaofang. She was beautiful and had a lively personality, and we quickly got into a hot conversation. Xiaofang told me that she was born in an urban family, and her parents ran a small business, and the family conditions were not bad. She was pampered by her parents since she was a child, so she was a bit headstrong, but she was also a kind girl who cared very much about her friends and family.
After we dated for half a year, we started talking about marriage. Xiaofang's parents asked me to pay a bride price of 180,000, which was an astronomical amount for me. My parents have exhausted everything for my marriage and have taken out 160,000 8 savings, but there is still a gap of 20,000. I couldn't bear to let my parents work for me anymore, so I decided to find a way to solve the 20,000 yuan by myself.
I searched all my friends and relatives and finally borrowed 20,000 yuan from a distant relative. When I went to Xiaofang with this hard-won bride price, she told me: "My parents said that if you add another 30,000 yuan, we will get married immediately." "This news was like a bolt from the blue, and I couldn't accept it.
I felt like I was being tricked by Xiaofang and her family. They already knew how hard I had to work to get the bride price, and now they have to raise the price. I was angry and found Xiaofang's theory, but she cried and told me, "I don't want to do this either, but my parents said that if I don't raise the price, they won't recognize me as a daughter." ”
Looking at Xiao Fang with tears streaming down in front of me, my heart softened. I know she is a dutiful girl and doesn't want to disappoint her parents. But I also have my own bottom line and dignity, and I can't accept such blackmail. We are at an impasse and neither of us can back down.
Just when we were at an impasse, Xiaofang's parents suddenly took the initiative to find me. They told me that the reason why they asked for a price increase was because they wanted to test whether I really loved Xiaofang and whether I was willing to give everything for her. Now they saw my sincerity and hard work and decided not to embarrass me anymore and let us get married.
This sudden turn of events caught me off guard. I don't know whether to be grateful or angry. But in the end, I chose to be grateful and inclusive. After all, marriage is the union of two families, not a transaction or a game.
After a lot of twists and turns, we finally came together. At the wedding, watching Xiao Fang in a wedding dress slowly walk towards me, my heart was full of happiness and emotion. I know that our marriage road is still a long way to go, and we will encounter many challenges and difficulties, but as long as we love and support each other, we will definitely be able to go through every bump and move towards a better future.
