"certainly!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan answered without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xu was overjoyed.

Did he really find a treasure?

Let alone the 60,000 yuan that Cheng Xiaoxuan mentioned, even if it were 100,000 yuan as a bride price, it would still be extremely cost-effective compared to local girls in southern Jiangxi!

However, it also depends on the specific circumstances.

"Look at me, leaving my parents and running away to such a far place."

"If I really marry into this family, I don't know if I'll be able to go back even once every three to five years, let alone once a year."

"At this time, leaving more dowry for the parents is a way for the children to show their filial piety."

Luo Xu was somewhat dazed when he saw Cheng Xiaoxuan's sorrowful expression.

Just ten minutes ago, she seemed to be saying with disgust that her family of origin was terrible and that her parents didn't care about her at all.

They don't even go home for the Chinese New Year.

"Weren't your parents always a bit mean to you?"

Luo Xu couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Xiaoxuan was also taken aback, then her voice rose slightly.

"Does a bad relationship mean I can't fulfill my filial duties?"

"Do you really want to marry a woman who treats her own parents badly?"

Faced with the moral high ground, Luo Xu was speechless.

"Too."

"So, what are your dowry requirements?"

30.

Luo Xu was dumbfounded.

Doesn't that mean we're back to square one?

Chen Qiu, who was sitting in the back, spat out a mouthful of water.

OK OK.

Although I was rebellious, had a falling out with my family, and didn't go home for the Chinese New Year, my filial piety still exists, and it comes with a price.

Buyout for 30!

You have to do as the locals do when you're in the area!

However, it remains to be seen how much of the 30 yuan dowry the estranged parents will actually receive.

At this moment, the restaurant served the food.

Cheng Xiaoxuan changed the subject.

As she served Luo Xu food, she began to chat about life.

But to Chen Qiu, what was supposed to be a chat was actually a series of flattering remarks about Luo Xu, subtly assigning him responsibilities.

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "Did you graduate with a bachelor's degree?"

Luo Xu: "Well, it's a non-985/211 university, so-so."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "Getting into a top-tier university is really impressive, especially considering I've heard that the undergraduate admission rate in southern Jiangxi is very low. They're practically the cream of the crop."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "I can't do that. I started working right after graduating from nursing school. If I have kids in the future, having a degree will make it much easier to tutor them!"

Luo Xu: "I've long forgotten everything I learned before..."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "Don't be modest! You're a top-tier university graduate who came from a province like southern Jiangxi, which has one of the lowest undergraduate enrollment rates!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "But the education system is really competitive now, so we'll have to arrange for a better school district house."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "There's a serious problem of comparison among kids these days. It's about whether they go to a prestigious kindergarten, whether they drive a Mercedes or BMW, how much their parents' clothes cost, how many luxury items they own—it's all about keeping up with the Joneses!"

As Luo Xu continued the conversation, he sensed that something was amiss.

Why is Cheng Xiaoxuan's conversation getting more and more sophisticated?

We were just talking about RVs, and now we're even discussing luxury goods!

Luo Xu: "Those are all too far-fetched. Sister Xiaoxuan, why don't you tell us your requirements?"

Luo Xu asked somewhat seriously.

He was quite satisfied with Cheng Xiaoxuan in every way.

She speaks sweetly and is also beautiful.

He's so considerate!

Although we just talked about something a bit far-fetched and unrealistic, doesn't that just show that they have a plan?

As for the 30 yuan bride price...

Anyway, that's the same amount given to local girls, so it's barely within an acceptable range if you grit your teeth and pay.

However, Cheng Xiaoxuan's next sentence completely stunned Luo Xu.

"Those were the requirements I just mentioned!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan said with a smile.

"The bride price is 30 yuan."

"A school district house paid for in full."

"Add another BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi."

"I'm perfectly content!"

Then, noticing a change in Luo Xu's expression, she spoke gently again.

"You're in a good position, and since we'll have to make arrangements for everything later anyway, why not just get everything set up when we get married?"

Luo Xu was dumbfounded.

Good conditions?

me?

"I just graduated, and my annual salary is only seventy or eighty thousand..."

Luo Xu quickly explained.

Cheng Xiaoxuan said indifferently.

"It's okay, the future is promising, it will always go up in the future, and an annual salary of 70,000 or 80,000 is more than enough to support me."

"Will I support you alone?"

Luo Xu's mouth was slightly open.

No, don't you go to work yourself?

Are you really just going to stay home and play mahjong?

and.

"And what about the car, the house, and the kids' expenses...?"

"I guess my family will have to help out with these expenses..."

Cheng Xiaoxuan looked at him with some confusion, then immediately realized what he meant.

Well, this younger brother probably has a strong sense of self-respect and doesn't want to rely on his family; he wants to make his own way in the world.

So she gently persuaded him.

"You just graduated and your family already bought you a 30 yuan car. Don't worry, they will definitely help you with such a major life event."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xu suddenly came to his senses.

Finished!

There's been a misunderstanding; they overdid it.

He gritted his teeth and then forced himself to explain.

"That car belongs to my cousin."

Cheng Xiaoxuan was stunned.

"Didn't you say your family bought it...?"

"Yes, my cousin is family too."

Upon hearing Luo Xu's words, Cheng Xiaoxuan's face instantly darkened.

"And what about yourself?"

"I don't own a car...and my family's financial situation is just average!"

"So you were lying to me the whole time?!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan's voice suddenly rose in volume, and she glared angrily at Luo Xu.

She felt a little dizzy.

Luo Xu felt somewhat aggrieved.

He hadn't expected Cheng Xiaoxuan's imagination to be so vivid; she even thought of him as a rich young master.

"Sister Xiaoxuan, I have no problem with the bride price."

"As for the house, you can buy it with a mortgage!"

"If we both work hard together, we'll be able to afford a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi in the future."

Luo Xu quickly spoke up.

However, he was met with a barrage of angry words from Cheng Xiaoxuan.

"You're from a poor, non-academic family, and you only earn 70,000 or 80,000 a year. How can you possibly work hard?"

"Are you even a man? Do you want me to keep making bubble tea for another ten years?"

Luo Xu was stunned by the scolding.

No, you weren't like this just now!

You said I'm a top student, and my future salary looks promising!

How come he's not a man anymore in the blink of an eye?

Do you expect to enjoy a life of happiness for the rest of your life after you get married?

"Sister Xiaoxuan..."

As soon as Luo Xu opened his mouth, Cheng Xiaoxuan across from him stood up, picked up her bag, and looked down at him.

That look of disgust was exactly the same as when she talked about her family of origin.

Watching Cheng Xiaoxuan pick up her bag and leave, Luo Xu felt somewhat dejected.

He really liked Cheng Xiaoxuan just now.

It turns out that people thought he was from a wealthy family and was looking forward to a life of luxury, so he pretended to be like that.

I hope that once things stop, all feelings will be wiped clean!

Especially Cheng Xiaoxuan's angry outbursts afterwards made him question his existence.

He studied diligently for over ten years and finally managed to get into a university in a province where the undergraduate enrollment rate was only around 30% and the first-tier university enrollment rate was only around 10%.

Now, a year after graduation, I earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. My family can afford the down payment and the 300,000 yuan dowry.

Are men not even worthy of being called men?
