In the beautiful coastal city of Dalian, a young couple, Jin Sheng and Xiaobai, are making elaborate preparations for their wedding. They have already chosen their wedding room, and when the decoration is completed, they can move in and start a new life.
However, at this time, Xiaobai's mother-in-law, Ms. Liu, suddenly put forward a condition: before getting married, a bride price of 500,000 yuan must be given. This sudden condition made Jin Sheng and Xiaobai feel very troubled.
Faced with the huge demands of his mother-in-law, Jin Sheng decisively left Dalian without saying hello and returned to his hometown of Hangzhou. When Xiaobai woke up, she found that her fiancé had disappeared without a trace, along with the 300,000 yuan they were going to renovate the new house.
Did Jinsheng really "abscond with money"?
In a film called"Happy marriage"In the emotional program, a young lady weeps bitterly because of the sadness in her heart. Her mother had a serious expression on the sidelines, clearly disappointed with her daughter's performance.
And the daughter's boyfriend looked a little nervous on the side. The three of them make up the protagonists of today's story: Xiaobai, her mother, Ms. Liu, and her boyfriend Jin Sheng.
Xiaobai tearfully begged her mother to agree to her marriage to Jin Sheng, and Jin Sheng made Xiao Bai fall in love, but Ms. Liu always objected to this, she was not satisfied with Jin Sheng's appearance, especially his height.
Despite Jin Sheng's good facial features, he was short and only a little taller than Xiao Bai. In order to maintain Jin Sheng's dignity, Xiaobai never wears high heels when he gets along with him.
Ms. Liu thinks that Jin Sheng is short in stature, and taking him out of the house will affect the family's face. They are all from the northern city of Dalian, and their average height is higher, while Jin Sheng appears to be particularly thin.
Ms. Liu ridiculed him for being only "three pieces of tofu" tall. In contrast, appearance can be improved with makeup or facelift, but height cannot be changed. Hearing Ms. Liu's words, Jin Sheng silently lowered his head and did not express any opinion, obviously he had suffered "discrimination" because of his height.
In addition, Ms. Liu also expressed dissatisfaction with Jinsheng's lack of Dalian natives. Jin Sheng's hometown is in Hangzhou, and although he is willing to buy a house in Dalian for the sake of his daughter, it means that he has neither a family background nor connections in Dalian.
It is expected that in the future he will be completely dependent on his family. Considering the gap between the economic conditions of the two families, Ms. Liu's family is considered well-off in Dalian, with a worry-free life and decent work, while Jinsheng's family can only be regarded as the bottom in Hangzhou.
Ms. Liu recalled that when Jin Sheng first came to visit, he only brought a few apples and bananas as a gift. This kind of performance makes people think that he is too stingy, and it is clear that he does not take Ms. Liu's family into account.
This was true before marriage, and it will definitely be worse after marriage. If her daughter Xiaobai chooses to marry Jinsheng, her quality of life will definitely decline in the future. Compared with Jin Sheng, Ms. Liu hopes that her daughter can find a man with a good family in the local area.
A long-distance relationship is not only a distance in space, but also a contradiction between habits and cognition. Before discussing the wedding, both families proposed to hold a banquet in Hangzhou and Dalian, and invited relatives from both sides to come over for dinner.
However, when discussing the details of the banquet, Jin Sheng proposed that the banquet be set in the evening, on the grounds that the tradition in Hangzhou is to eat in the evening. But Ms. Liu was very angry when she heard this proposal, because in Dalian, only second marriages would hold banquets in the evening.
These small contradictions accumulated over time, making Ms. Liu feel more and more dissatisfied with Jinsheng. However, in the end, it still depends on the feelings of her daughter Xiaobai. Ms. Liu's concerns are not important to Xiaobai.
Ms. Liu is anxious about this matter, but she is convinced of her daughter's relationship with Jin Sheng. As the wedding date approached, Ms. Liu decided to give Jinsheng another test. She believes that as long as Jin Sheng can pass this test, then she will also support their marriage.
So, Ms. Liu called her daughter and Jin Sheng in front of her and emphasized the issue of bride price again. Previously, the two parties agreed to spend 300,000 yuan each on buying a house and renovating, but Ms. Liu began to reconsider this issue.
She felt that such a bride price seemed too simple and could not reflect the value of the woman. In order to ensure her daughter's happy life after marriage, Ms. Liu proposed to increase the bride price of 500,000 yuan.
Jin Sheng encountered problems in his marriage, and he took out 300,000 yuan as a bride price was already his limit, and he could not raise another 500,000 yuan. Although he tried to negotiate with Ms. Liu to request a reduction in the bride price, Ms. Liu insisted on 500,000 yuan, otherwise the wedding might need to be reconsidered.
Jin Sheng failed to communicate with Ms. Liu, so he stopped talking. Ms. Liu originally thought that Jin Sheng was just depressed, but she did not expect Jin Sheng's behavior after that, which completely changed her opinion of Jin Sheng.
Ms. Liu began to doubt Jin Sheng's character. In her opinion, the bride price of 500,000 yuan is not a large amount, but for Jinsheng, it is an astronomical amount. He had discussed with his parents that if they wanted to raise the money, they would need to sell their house.
How could Jin Sheng let his parents be homeless? Therefore, he believed that Ms. Liu was deliberately embarrassing him. It happened at the end of the year, and although Jin Sheng and Ms. Liu did not reach a consensus, Xiaobai did not take it to heart, believing that it was just a temporary disagreement between the two, and in the end Ms. Liu's mother would definitely agree.
It turns out that human nature is not as simple as Xiaobai imagined. A few days after Ms. Liu and Jin Sheng broke up, Xiaobai found that her boyfriend had disappeared without a trace, no matter how many calls** she made or how many messages she sent, she was like a stone in the sea.
Xiaobai Liushen has no owner, so he can only turn to his mother, Ms. Liu, for help. Ms. Liu is experienced and asked Xiaobai to check whether the money is still there as soon as possible. At the beginning, the two families jointly funded in order to buy a wedding house, and there was still 300,000 yuan of decoration money left untouched.
The passbook has been kept by Xiaobai and Jinsheng. Xiaobai rummaged through the place where he usually put his passbook and found that it was empty.
Ms. Liu was angry because she was worried that Jin Sheng would leave with the money, and she hoped that her daughter Xiaobai would contact Jin Sheng and ask him to return the money. Xiaobai thinks that all this is because Ms. Liu asked for a 500,000 dowry, causing her boyfriend to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Xiaobai had a fierce argument with his mother at home, locked himself in his room, and no longer communicated with his mother. Xiaobai washed her face with tears all day and tried to contact her boyfriend, but the other party never replied.
A few days later, Xiaobai saw a photo of her boyfriend and another woman in her friend's circle of friends, and the two behaved intimately and smiled. This made Xiaobai very sad, and she was determined to ask Jin Sheng for an explanation.
Unable to convince his mother, Xiaobai found the emotional column group, hoping to change her mother's opinion through the power of experts and the public, and also had the opportunity to make it clear to her boyfriend face to face.
On the day of the recording of the show, Jin Sheng appeared at the scene as promised, and the moment he saw him, Xiaobai couldn't help but shed tears. Jin Sheng tried to hold Xiaobai's hand, but she avoided it.
Xiaobai has always hidden a mystery in his heart, and asked in front of everyone about the identity of the woman in her boyfriend's circle of friends. However, Jin Sheng said that the ** was deliberately sent by him.
Jin Sheng's "shrewd calculation" turned out to be planned by him from his private passbook to posting "intimate photos" with others in the circle of friends. When Ms. Liu asked for a bride price of 500,000 yuan, Jin Sheng felt resentful of his future mother-in-law, and he thought that Ms. Liu was deliberately embarrassing him.
Therefore, he chose to escape, threw the problem to Ms. Liu, and returned directly to his hometown. Before leaving, he also hid the passbook in Xiaobai's shoes and pretended to be taken away by himself, so that Ms. Liu could be anxious.
However, Jin Sheng is not really that tough, he still wants to marry Xiaobai. So he discussed with his parents how to come up with the 500,000 bride price. Jin Sheng's parents offered to sell their house to raise the money, but Jin Sheng disagreed because he didn't want his parents to have to "live on the streets" at this age.
In a difficult situation, Jinsheng decided to take action. He teamed up with his cousin at home to create a seemingly intimate scene and let their mutual friends share it in their circle of friends, hoping that Xiaobai would see it.
Jin Sheng believes that if Xiaobai sees his ** with other women, she will become worried about the relationship and thus convince her mother. In addition, Jin Sheng and his cousin have already started planning their wedding and have purchased a new house.
If the marriage breaks down now, the woman will lose a lot and lose face. Therefore, Jinsheng pretended to want"Running away from marriage", hoping to use this as an excuse to make Ms. Liu give up the request for 500,000 bride price.
Although Jin Sheng sees all this as an action to marry Xiaobai, Ms. Liu may see him as a result"Scheming"and associate him with those phoenix men who want to climb high branches.
For Jinsheng, this is a basic means.
In order to marry a mentally handicapped woman, the security guard tried to force her to marry when she cooked raw rice and cooked rice, but her mother decisively miscarried!
The damage of Jin Sheng's behavior to Xiaobai is difficult to ignore, he first played missing, and then took intimate photos with other girls, whether real or fake. Ms. Liu firmly opposes her daughter's marriage to such a person, but Xiaobai firmly believes in her boyfriend and begs her mother to allow them to be together.
Jinsheng also said that he would give Xiaobai happiness, and took out a bank card of 250,000 yuan as a bride price and promised to work hard to earn the rest after marriage. The sincerity of the two touched Ms. Liu, but also made her understand that her daughter might be controlled by Jin Sheng in the future.
Love is love, marriage is marriage, marriage cannot be based on passion alone, because firewood, rice, oil and salt will wear out love. And what determines the sustainability of a marriage is the economic foundation and the sense of responsibility.
Although Ms. Liu was forced to agree to her daughter's marriage, she knew it would be a challenging marriage.
Although Jin Sheng and Xiaobai finally entered the marriage hall, the relationship between them and Ms. Liu is like a **bomb, which may threaten their marriage at any time.
