Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 88 If you're not convinced, go ahead and hang me.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

I think it's pointless to talk about money all the time and then switch to feelings halfway through.

If you ask him to lend you 10 yuan to marry you, how much will you bring as dowry?

If a man working in the public sector is willing to offer a dowry of 88,000 yuan, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get married.

I'm totally confused, sister, do you even know what you're saying?

"It's not that simple, teacher, please let me finish." The girl's tone was a little anxious: "He actually agreed to the dowry of 188,000 yuan."

“He has an older brother. He borrows 5 yuan from his brother, then he borrows another 5 yuan from his classmate, and his parents give him another 6 yuan. That's about it.”

"Wait a minute." Zhang Zhe gestured for a stop. "Wasn't it 188,000? How did it get so close to 250,000?"

"You've raised the price again?"

"No, no, there's also the money for the wedding."

"Okay, so you've already fooled him, right? Why did he awaken in the end? Did you raise the price?"

Zhang Zhe didn't believe any of the nonsense the girl was spouting.

If someone needs to borrow money to pay a bride price before agreeing to get married, it means that marriage is a commodity, just like buying something.

If a deal has been agreed upon, but one party suddenly changes their mind and refuses to buy, there are only two possibilities:
First, the seller suddenly raises the price, the kind of price gouging that makes it impossible for the buyer to pay, so the buyer has no choice but to give up.
Second, the buyer discovers that the goods do not match the description, or that the goods have hidden defects and are not worth the original price.

Zhang Zhe didn't want to think too badly of this girl.

That's because of the price increase.

"The price hasn't increased; the bride price is still 188,000 yuan. The argument started over the issue of the three gold pieces."

【? ? ? 】

【You've got three more gold medals now, right?】

So, they've already discussed the bride price and wedding ceremony, but haven't even talked about the three gold pieces yet?

The boy was right; it's a bottomless pit.

[A high bride price is a test of obedience. Luckily, that man realized it, otherwise he would have been completely controlled by him for the rest of his life.]

"He can't afford the three gold pieces?"

"Yes, he really has no money left."

“That’s a lie,” Zhang Zhe waved his hand and said, “He can also get a bank loan, or he can donate blood for a fee.”

"If all else fails, you can sell him to northern Myanmar."

"He hasn't given 100% of himself yet."

"But I have a question," Zhang Zhe said, not giving the woman a chance to speak, and asked directly, "Are you dead? If not, what have you contributed to this marriage?"

"..." The woman didn't say anything.

"Hey? Are you deaf? I'm asking you a question." Zhang Zhe banged on the table: "Your boyfriend has borrowed money from everyone he can, and what have you been doing?"

"answer my question."

"I...I didn't do anything," the woman replied softly.

"No, you have. You've definitely been telling him you love him, and maybe you've even made empty promises to him."

"Oh, baby, we'll definitely be happy after we get married. Just think of something else..."

【vomit--】

[Please refrain from making psychological attacks, thank you.]

I can already picture this scene; it's an incredible, mind-blowing thing.

That guy was stupid too; he's already owing over 100,000 yuan before even getting married.

[This girl never mentioned her dowry once from beginning to end.]

[As a parent myself, I can say that this girl has most likely never said a good word about the guy to her parents, otherwise they wouldn't be unable to get married because of the "three gold pieces" (a traditional Chinese wedding gift).]

"Teacher, it's not like that. I want to be with him," the woman argued, somewhat agitated. "The bride price is a local custom. If it's too little, my parents will be looked down upon." "Really? Where are you from?"

"Give me your address, and I'll have someone ask around. If there's a girl in your area who's getting married with a dowry of 88,000 yuan, could you come to the live stream and apologize?"

Zhang Zhe spoke with great certainty.

The existence of the version's ultimate weapon, the blond-haired guy, makes all dowry decisions a joke.

Still want a bride price? The fact that the blond-haired guy didn't even take the father-in-law's cigarettes when he came to visit is already a big favor.

Customs are just excuses for doing business.

Some villages have a history of only a few decades, spanning only two or three generations. Going back to the grandparents' generation, they didn't even have enough to eat when they got married, yet they still talked about dowries.
Can so-called customs be formed instantly among the post-80s and post-90s generations?

In 20 years, when money is worth less than it is now, won't the custom of bride price change back to "no marriage without 100 million"?

What adaptive customs?

Therefore, the claim that betrothal gifts are a custom is a lie.

Sure enough, after Zhang Zhe said that, the woman stopped being stubborn.

She stammered, "But my parents want such a high dowry!"

"Then just say it's what your parents want, what's so shameful about it?" Zhang Zhe laughed directly, he hated this kind of pretense: "What era are we living in? Is selling your daughter anything new?"

“Your situation is very simple: if you don’t lower the price, your boyfriend won’t be able to afford it, and the deal won’t go through.”

"It's no use coming to me. I don't have any wedding-into-the-countryside programs or billions of yuan in subsidies for you."

How about we consider Pinduoduo? We can pool our money to cover the bride price.

If you can't reach an agreement, then let it go and let that guy go.

I also think it's pointless to argue. The guy didn't even try to negotiate; it was you who kept raising the price.

"But my boyfriend and I still like each other."

"Stop." Zhang Zhe waved his hand: "Teacher Luo once said, 'If you're being kept, don't talk about having an independent personality.' I'll give you a piece of advice too: 'If it's a transaction, don't talk about feelings.'"

"I'm not a commodity," the girl retorted. "Teacher, please don't objectify us girls, okay?"

"I didn't say you were a product, you misunderstood." Zhang Zhe chuckled, thinking, "I want to practice my boxing skills, I'm on guard against you!"

What I'm saying is that your marriage is a commodity.

"What's the difference?"

“Of course there’s a difference.” Zhang Zhe snorted. “If your marriage isn’t a commodity, then when your boyfriend is considering giving up because he doesn’t have money, you have a million ways to handle it.”

"You could ask your parents to just give a few quilts as dowry, and lower the bride price a bit."

"You can pay for the three gold pieces yourself; in the end, you'll be keeping them anyway."

"You can simplify the wedding ceremony and save a lot of money;"

“You can even take out your own savings and use part of your dowry.”

My wife paid half of my dowry, and our son is already five years old.

[It's really something for girls to buy their own gold jewelry; they might even make money afterward!]

It's one thing to be so calculating when you meet someone through a blind date, but it's really unreasonable to be so calculating when you marry someone you've chosen through free choice.

This girl's problem stems from her family environment and her own lack of intelligence.

After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, the girl fell completely silent.

I asked several times, but there was no response.

"The connection didn't drop." Zhang Zhe shook his head in confusion: "Girl, I disconnected the call."

"If you're not happy about it, you can post a thread to expose me."

"But I still advise you not to go, I'm afraid even more people will criticize you!"
