A few days ago, I went back to my mother's house and learned a shocking news that my aunt was going to marry her sister, who had just turned eighteen. Because I am more than ten years older than her, I have almost always watched her grow up, and in my eyes she is still a child, why is she going to talk about marriage now.
The year before last, my aunt just married a daughter and received a bride price of 280,000 yuan, which was basically not returned, so it was almost 280,000 yuan. Now she plans to marry a daughter, so everyone speculates that she wants to buy a house for her youngest son in the city.
The aunt had a total of four daughters, one son, the eldest daughter was given away, and the remaining three daughters were brought by themselves. Several cousins didn't read much, and their grades were not good, and they couldn't go down to junior high school after finishing elementary school. One is that the aunt thinks that their grades are too poor, and it is useless to read them, and it is a waste of money; Second, I think that it is better for girls to read so many books than to go directly to work and subsidize their families.
In the countryside, parents never have any other high requirements for girls, as long as you give the money from your part-time job to your parents, you will receive enough bride price when you get married. If you meet these two points, you are a great filial daughter. They will never compare how much their son spent on marrying a daughter-in-law, but will only say that whose daughter receives more bride price, and they can't be compared. Therefore, the bride price in the countryside is raised in this way.
At first, my sister was reluctant to marry so early, and wanted to blackmail her aunt by running away from home, but she couldn't bear her aunt's soft grinding, and her sister had the idea of leaving home, which strengthened her aunt's determination to marry her out in time.
My sister is not tall, even one meter five is a little worse, but her weight is not light at all, and she looks almost 140 pounds. With such conditions, I thought that this year's marriage was estimated to be unexpected, and my sister could escape, but I underestimated the number of single men in the countryside. After a few encounters, some boys agreed.
In fact, for my aunt, she doesn't mind how the man looks and how he behaves, she only cares about one thing, that is, whether she can afford the bride price. Her target price is 280,000, which cannot be lower than the bride price of her eldest daughter.
For my aunt, as long as the man is in love, then it will be fine. The next thing is that the two sides negotiate the specific amount of the bride price, one to reduce the price, the other to protect the capital, the so-called marriage has become a transaction, and the commodity is her daughter.
It is said that the man is also quite short, less than 1.6 meters, and he was born with a hand, so the marriage has not been settled. But this is the condition, and the aunt didn't say anything against it, because their family can afford 280,000, and she doesn't care if her sister has a crush on the boy, and getting 280,000 is the ultimate goal.
Three days, in just three days, all the details about the wedding have been finalized. Everyone is happy, the man's family is happy, the son is finally married, and the aunt is happy, because there is another huge amount of money in the account. No one asked if it was what the sister wanted, or if what she wanted didn't matter to the aunt at all, and the bride price was the top priority.
The people in the village said that the aunt should bring back the eldest daughter, so that the four daughters could receive more than a million bride prices and become millionaires.
In the countryside, my sister's experience is not an exception, after finishing junior high school, working for a few years, paying income, and starting a blind date at the age of 18, you can get married after three days. Regarding the bride price, parents will generally keep it for their sons to marry their daughters-in-law, and my family's money will be given to you, and your family's money will be given to him, and no one will get it.
I don't know when my sister will wake up, maybe it's good for her to be just confused. If you don't have enough ability, even if you awaken, what can you change.
