Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827: 209: Transfer_6

She had figured it out: the Wu Family was not short of money at all.

Since they weren’t hard up, of course, she had to ask for more.

Such lavish wealth only came once in a lifetime.

Hearing this, Wu’s mother placed her teacup on the table and gently tapped it, "Are you selling your daughter or marrying her off?"

Country folks are country folks indeed. When it comes to marrying off a daughter, they don’t beat around the bush.

Even if she wasn’t their own flesh and blood, did it have to be this ruthless?

At this time, in Beijing, when an ordinary family took a bride, the most they’d offer was 500 yuan as a dowry.

But their demands were different: wanting both a house and money, as soon as they opened their mouths, it was 3000!

Wu Jinjin said with a smile, "Auntie, what you said is a bit harsh. As the saying goes, ’A match made in heaven is tied with a thread.’ If our Yanyun and Xiaowu truly have no fate, then there is nothing we can do as family members."

She meant they were ready to call the whole thing off!

Wu Qiang panicked as soon as he heard this, "We are fated! Yanyun and I are very much fated. I agree to the 3000, none of the conditions you’ve proposed are a problem."

Wu Yanyun was so beautiful and still an untouched young lady. It wouldn’t matter if it were 3000 or even 30,000, Wu Qiang would find a way to gather it.

Wu’s mother inwardly rolled her eyes at Wu Qiang, frustrated with his lack of resolve.

She had planned to bargain down the price, yet her son was so weak-willed in front of a beautiful girl that he couldn’t even move his feet.

Now that everything was out in the open, Wu’s mother didn’t beat around the bush either and continued, "To show the Wu Family’s sincerity, let’s draw up an agreement, pay the dowry now, then choose a day for both families to sit down for a meal together, and settle on a wedding date. As for the house, your family can only move in after the young couple is married."

"Agreed," Wu Jinjin nodded.

Wu’s mother turned her head to look at Grandma Wu, "What about you? Do you see any issues?"

Yanyun had been raised by her hands after all, and Wu’s mother felt it necessary to ask for Grandma Wu’s opinion.

Grandma Wu said, "I have no objections."

They were willing to pay so much, offer a house, and move the household registration. What could she possibly object to?

Wu’s mother had come prepared today. She took out three stacks of RMB from her bag, "Here is 3000 yuan. Let’s write up an agreement, and consider this matter settled."

"Good, good," Grandma Wu nodded.

Both Grandma Wu and Wu Jinjin were illiterate, so how the agreement was drawn up was entirely up to Wu’s mother and Wu Lan.

They only had to press their fingerprints as confirmation.

It wasn’t until they left Wu Lan’s house that Grandma Wu still felt somewhat surreal, "Jinjin, does our family really own a two-story western-style house with a yard now?"

"Of course, it’s real!" Wu Jinjin nodded, "Not only that, you now have 3000 yuan in your pocket too!" _{freēwebnovel.com}

Grandma Wu felt her pocket.

Sure enough, those thick stacks of banknotes were still there!

Wu Jinjin continued, "How about it? I have got skills, don’t I? The dowry was 2000 yuan, and I managed to get it up to 3000! According to your thinking, we would have just taken one house and nothing else, wouldn’t we have lost out big time?"

A full 3000 yuan!

What ordinary family could have so much money?

Wealthy people really are different.

Grandma Wu said with a smile, "Yes, yes, you are capable!"

No wonder they say a daughter is a mother’s little padded jacket!

Wu Jinjin went on, "Mom, now that we also have money, let’s go buy a bicycle and a sewing machine, shall we?"

"Sure! Let’s go now!"

A bicycle and a Singer sewing machine together cost over 1100 yuan, but Grandma Wu wasn’t hesitant to pay.

...

After Wu Yanyun got home, she changed out of her long dress and into her usual clothes with patches.
