Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 336 Wang Zha
After taking a sip of water, the little girl's expression suddenly changed, and she said with a wronged look:

"Brother Zhang, I'm in big trouble. My boyfriend and I have broken up over marriage."

Zhang Zhe nodded with deep sympathy, and subconsciously asked, "Why? Is it the bride price?"

“It’s not a bride price. I didn’t ask for a bride price. My parents aren’t very nice to me, and I don’t want to give them any bride price money.”

“We argued because of the wedding; my boyfriend doesn’t want to have a wedding.”

"Why? Do you find weddings troublesome?"

"No, he thinks it's too expensive."

"How expensive is it?" Zhang Zhe asked, guessing. "Are you going to Phuket to do it?"

Judging from the girl's tone, it's clear that the boy didn't fulfill her wishes at the wedding.

The only wedding Zhang Zhe could think of that would make a guy refuse was one held abroad. If he were a pragmatic guy, he really wouldn't accept spending tens of thousands of yuan to rent out a church.

However, he overestimated the girl's abilities.

"It's not that we're having the wedding abroad; it's that he thought the banquet was too expensive."

"A banquet?"

How much do you want per table?

"More than 3000."

"Should we hold it at a hotel in the city, or in our hometown in the countryside?"

"In his hometown town."

How many tables are there?

“I haven’t counted it, but my boyfriend said there are at least forty or fifty tables.”

"Wow, so many?"

"I'll just say 50 tables. The banquet alone will cost 15 yuan. Add in the cigarettes, alcohol, drinks, melon seeds, peanuts, and candy, and it'll easily reach 20 yuan."

"This is indeed a bit expensive."

Zhang Zhe recalled the wedding banquets he had attended.

In the past, when people attended banquets, the elders would discuss the price and whether the dishes on the table were worth the cost.

In rural areas, banquets typically cost several hundred or a thousand yuan, with very few reaching 1,500 yuan, because there are simply too many people attending.

It would be different if it were held in a city.

Many elderly people in rural areas, or those with limited transportation, do not go to the city to attend weddings. Many wedding banquets only have a dozen or so tables, and even if each table costs 3000 yuan, it is still within an acceptable range.

“Brother Zhang, you don’t need to calculate it. My boyfriend has already calculated it for me. It might cost 30 yuan to complete.”

"Hmm, and then?" Judging from the girl's tone, Zhang Zhe clearly didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Is he unable to afford it?"

“I think he can afford it. He earns 20 a year, so I don’t think it’s difficult for him to spend 30 on the wedding.”

What is your annual salary?

"I have sixty or seventy thousand."

"..." Zhang Zhe smiled speechlessly: "Then you should know how difficult it is to earn 30."

"I know, but money can be earned back, but a wedding only happens once in a lifetime."

"Besides, this isn't just a wedding for one person, it's for both of us. If the wedding goes well, his parents will be proud too."

"Besides, I didn't ask for a bride price, so spending a little money on the wedding shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Excuse me for a second." Zhang Zhe made a stop gesture: "Sister, you trust me and came to me, so I have to tell you the truth."

"First of all, as a banquet expert, I can tell you with certainty that wedding guests only care about whether the food tastes good or not."

"If it's expensive but doesn't taste good, it'll just become a laughing stock."

“You might think that spending 300,000 yuan on a wedding is impressive, but most people will think you're a fool, saying you don't know how to manage money and will even nag your in-laws.”

"Then the second point is that you don't want a bride price, which shows that you are reasonable. But if you want to have such a lavish wedding, you might as well just ask for a bride price."

"Such a lavish wedding is a complete waste."

"I feel like this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so what's a little waste?" the girl pouted, clearly indignant. "Couldn't he just use the dowry money his family prepared for the wedding?" "Besides, if I marry him and he has no car, no house, and the wedding isn't even decent, what am I supposed to get out of it?"

"Huh? No car, no house?" Zhang Zhe was even more confused: "Then why not save the money for the wedding and buy a nice car instead?"

“He has a car, but it’s not in my name. It’s premarital property, so it has nothing to do with me.”

"Oh." Zhang Zhe understood: "So he also has a marital home, right? And it's not in your name."

"Yeah, that's right."

“He bought all of those before we got married. He can kick me out anytime. Think about it, if we have a fight after we get married and he tells me to get out, wouldn’t I be in the wrong?”

"This problem is simple," Zhang Zhe offered a suggestion: "Why don't you ask your family to buy you a house too? That way you'll have more financial security, right?"

"If we ever argue, I'll tell him, 'Who cares about living in your house? My house is even better than yours.'"

"Heh, if my parents could afford a house, would I still be dating him?" the girl said impatiently. "I could date anyone!"

"So, sister, what exactly did your family bring as dowry?"

"I didn't bring any dowry. Didn't I already say that my parents didn't treat me well, and I have no contact with them anymore?"

"So can I understand that when you got married, you only contributed your person and nothing else?"

"Yes, that's right." The girl nodded matter-of-factly. "I'm marrying him, isn't that normal?"

"Um...maybe." Zhang Zhe suddenly missed the chat comments in the live stream.

It would be so satisfying to have someone in the live chat criticize her at this point.

This girl seems to think that getting married is something extraordinary, something she can use to negotiate terms, and that it's worth no less than 30 yuan.

“My boyfriend insisted on only hosting a 1000 yuan per table banquet. To be honest, I really can’t bear the embarrassment.”

"I didn't even ask for a bride price, but he still insisted on having a regular wedding. How am I supposed to live like this?"

"Then you shouldn't get married," Zhang Zhe said, frowning.

As soon as he said this, Yu Rui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Lawyer Yu had wanted to say this for a long time.

“I’ve been with him for a year, and he just wants to call it quits? My relatives and friends all know about it.”

"Then you should ask him for the bride price, and then use the bride price money to hold the wedding banquet, is that alright?"

"No, I don't want a bride price. I don't have any dowry, and it would be even more shameful to ask for one."

"..." Zhang Zhe let out a wail in his heart. He suddenly understood Teacher Wang.

This woman is amazing; she's caught in a strange cycle.

Zhang Zhe gently patted his face, knowing he couldn't follow this girl's line of thinking, or he'd get stuck.

"Sister, I might be a bit blunt, if you can't stand it, you can just leave."

Let me explain your situation to you.

“Your qualifications are not good enough for the man’s family to go on blind dates, but because you met through dating and you didn’t ask for a dowry, you acted like you were very sensible and got his family to accept you.”

"But you feel resentful and like you've been cheated because the car, the house, and the like have nothing to do with you."

"You want more than just a lavish wedding; you're conducting a compliance test, you're testing his attitude towards you, right?"

"If he can't accept your making a scene at such an important point as your wedding, then you'll have even less control over him after marriage!"

“Yes.” The girl replied with her head held high, “I just want him to show his attitude.”

"So he rejected you?" Zhang Zhe shrugged and laughed. "You failed the test. The guy is decisive. Just try the next one."

"No, I can't change it."

"Why?"

"Because I'm pregnant." After saying this, the girl suddenly became emotional, covered her mouth, and her eyes were full of grievance.

It looks like I'm about to cry.

Zhang Zhe quickly gestured for her to stop: "Sister, don't cry. Crying here costs extra."

"You already had a trump card, why didn't you say so earlier?"
