Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1365 - 1367: Asking for an Exorbitant Price

Finding a matchmaker is just a formality, as having a matchmaker means it’s a proper match, and it can’t be decided secretly by both parents.

This time, the main purpose was to settle the matter between the two children and discuss the bride price.

Early the next morning, the matchmaker Yang came over, and Yang Old Man and Yang Ming’s wife went with the matchmaker Yang to Xiaocui’s house.

Since they’re from the same village, this matter should be settled quickly, so the younger generation of the Yang Family didn’t go to work in the fields; they stayed home waiting for news.

The younger ones at home surely talked about it.

The second son’s wife spoke first, "Do you think Aunt Lan Hua will make an outrageous demand?"

As soon as she said that, everyone went silent because they thought the same. Aunt Lan Hua was notoriously stingy, and the daughters-in-law in her family were equally known for loving money, so they probably wouldn’t ask for a little.

Although she decided not to care about this matter, the second son’s wife couldn’t help but say, "Fourth brother, if their family really makes an outrageous demand, you should think carefully whether to go ahead with this marriage."

"Let’s wait till Dad and Mom come back; if you ask me, Aunt Lan Hua won’t ask for little when it comes to the bride price."

"..."

"..."

Everyone kept talking about it, and Yang Dong was just listening without speaking.

After a short wait, Yang Old Man and Yang Ming’s wife came back. Seeing the expressions on their faces, it was clear that the discussion hadn’t gone well.

Although the in-laws weren’t in good spirits, the second son’s wife didn’t care; the matter had to be resolved, so she asked outright, "Dad, Mom, how did it go? How much did Aunt Lan Hua ask for in the bride price?"

Yang Old Man didn’t speak, but Yang Ming’s wife sighed and said quietly, "One hundred silver."

"What?"

The figure of one hundred silver truly shocked the whole family.

The second son’s wife looked at Yang Dong, "Fourth brother, look, look, their family really made an outrageous demand, asking for a hundred silver right off the bat. How precious is that Xiaocui really? Are they selling their daughter? When we married me and the eldest sister-in-law, it was just two silver, and the third son’s wife didn’t cost a penny. Why should Xiaocui get a hundred silver?"

The second son’s wife had been worried about this, fearing the other party would make an outrageous demand and the in-laws would be too weak to refuse. She wanted to go along, but this wasn’t something she could meddle in as a sister-in-law, so she backed off.

She didn’t expect things to go as she predicted, so she quickly asked, "Dad, Mom, you didn’t agree, did you?"

Yang Old Man shook his head and said, "I didn’t agree!"

He wasn’t so senile to agree to whatever they asked for. Asking for that much was a blatant attempt to bully the Yang Family. If it starts like this now, what lies ahead? Angrily, he brought his wife back home.

Upon hearing the parents hadn’t agreed, everyone felt relieved. Surely, this was a reason to reject the marriage proposal, not because they didn’t want the marriage but because the other party was asking too much.

"Dad, afterwards Aunt Lan Hua is sure to come making trouble asking for the hundred silver. You can’t agree; you must treat everyone the same. We three daughters-in-law only got so much; you can’t give Xiaocui that much."

For this matter, the second son’s wife was determined. She didn’t care how much silver the fourth brother’s wedding cost; what mattered to her was that it was Aunt Lan Hua’s house.
