Since Qiao Zuwang was preparing to showdown, he naturally would not hide it. He said, "Sanli is not only a good person, but also a student of the Normal University. Such a good girl can only be worthy of an outstanding talent like you."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Qiao Zuwang and said, "Uncle, what is your purpose?"
Qiao Zuwang said, "Xiao Zhao, the child in the entire Shamao Lane, your Uncle Qiao thinks you are the most promising. Since you also think that our Sanli is good, I, a father, will naturally not stop my daughter's happiness, so I agree to your relationship. What do you think?"
Of course, he would not ask for the bride price at the beginning, and he would have to wait until Zhao Shucheng agrees before he can speak. As long as Zhao Shucheng dates Qiao Sanli, he is an elder. With such an identity, there will be nothing wrong with the bride price.
As for whether he is selling his daughter like this, he doesn't care at all. Anyway, this daughter was born by himself. Now that he has grown up, isn't it right to repay him?
Zhao Shucheng was shocked by Qiao Zuwang. How could he have the attitude to say such things? Although they say the orders of their parents and matchmakers, what kind of society is now? How can fathers promote their daughter like this?
"Uncle Qiao, we will be in love freely now. Sanli and I have no plans for this at the moment. Let us develop ourselves."
"Hey, Xiao Zhao, what you said is wrong. Since ancient times, it has been the words of the matchmaker from parents. I am Sanli's father, and I will decide on her affairs. Besides, even if Sanli knows, she will not have any objection. After all, no one can hope to find someone as good as you."
"Then I'll have to get along with Sanli, too!"
"What else can you do to get along with? Your affairs can be settled now. You can get engaged first, and then wait until Sanli graduates, or you can get a marriage certificate during the holidays."
Qiao Zuwang didn't want Zhao Shucheng to discuss with Sanli. He came here without telling his children. If they knew about it, the family would definitely be in trouble.
"But Xiao Zhao, it's not easy for me to raise my daughter. I have been working hard for so many years. Now Sanli wants to become a member of your Zhao family, and the etiquette you should have must be. The engagement bride price and future betrothal gifts are indispensable."
Zhao Shucheng then understood what Qiao Zuwang was here to do. Isn’t this just to sell his daughter? He was angry, but when he thought that Qiao Zuwang was such a selfish person, he couldn’t be angry with him. What he was angry with was his body.
"Uncle Qiao, what do you mean is that if I give the bride price, Sanli will be a member of our Zhao family?"
When Qiao Zuwang saw that Zhao Shucheng did not refuse, he immediately said happily: "Of course, that of course."
"Okay, Uncle Qiao, how much do you think the bride price is appropriate?"
Qiao Zuwang hesitated for a moment when he heard this, stretched out a finger, and it soon turned into two.
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "The bride price of 200 yuan is not too much."
When Qiao Zuwang heard that Zhao Shucheng was willing to give only 200 yuan, he immediately said angrily: "Xiao Zhao, you have no sincerity to say this. My daughter Sanli is so good, how could her dowry cost only 200 yuan?"
"Uncle Qiao, you mean two thousand. Isn't this a small number?"
Qiao Zuwang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, these two thousand dollars are not a small number for others, and they are not worth mentioning to you. Besides, a girl like Sanli, you can't let her be compared to others, look down on her, right?"
Zhao Shucheng was actually very impatient to tell Qiao Zuwang about this. After all, this sounds good at saying it is a matter of bride price, but it is not nice to say that Qiao Zuwang is selling his daughter.
Although Zhao Shucheng has no certain relationship with Qiao Sanli and the two of them fell in love at first sight, over the years, this can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart.
What's more, Zhao Shucheng and Qiao Sanli both wanted each other, but because Qiao Sanli was still in school before, and Zhao Shucheng also hoped that Qiao Sanli would think clearly, so he kept avoiding talking.
However, because Qiao Sanli has the same face as Zhong Xiaoqin, Zhao Shucheng has long regarded her as his woman, so naturally he doesn't want to see his daughter being humiliated like this, even her father cannot tolerate it.
But Zhao Shucheng also knew very well that no matter how angry he was, he could not break through his reason by anger. After all, Qiao Zuwang is Sanli's father. Even if this father is not a competent father, Qiao Sanli would not ignore Qiao Zuwang because of himself.
"Uncle Qiao, since I've said this, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I really like Sanli. I originally thought that after Sanli graduated from university, I would pursue Sanli again."
When Qiao Zuwang heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he immediately smiled and felt that he was really right. Since Zhao Shucheng fell in love with Sanli, he wanted to be his son-in-law. If his father-in-law spoke, he could still disagree?
"Xiao Zhao, you have a lot of vision. Our Sanli is really a good girl. She is definitely a smart and sensible, diligent and capable, and the best choice for a good wife and mother."
“Yes, yes, you’re right!”
Seeing Zhao Shucheng agreeing with him like this, Qiao Zuwang was full of confidence and said, "Xiao Zhao, since this is the case, can we decide on the dowry?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course, but Uncle Qiao, I have given all the dowry."
When Qiao Zuwang heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he asked in surprise: "Did you give it? When did you give it? Why don't I know?"
"Uncle Qiao, you see, this is how it is. I paid for Sanli and Simei when they went to school, right? In a few years, I calculated that it was only 2,000 yuan. This money was originally lent to them and asked them to pay it back after work. But since Sanli was going to marry me, I couldn't take it back, so I could only use it as a bride price."
Qiao Zuwang was stunned when he heard this and said, "But even so, they can't use so much money to go to school, right?"
"Uncle Qiao, you don't understand this. It seems that you don't spend much money at school now, but in fact there are many places to spend money. Just the tuition and book fees, you need a lot of money every year, not to mention living expenses and other expenses."
When Qiao Zuwang heard Zhao Shucheng settle the score, he found that not only did the bride price be lost, but they even owed Zhao Shucheng some money.
But of course he was unwilling to be unable to get anything, and said, "This matter is not calculated like this. Sanli went to school and she was also a member of your family in the future. This money is what you should pay and should not be counted as a dowry."
"Uncle Qiao, I'm sad to say this. After Sanli got married to me, we will be a family, and the whole family doesn't have to be so clear."
After hearing this, Qiao Zuwang looked at Zhao Shucheng with some angrily, and he calculated clearly. Isn’t this Zhao Shucheng and him calculating the tuition fees for Sanli? Why did he calculate clearly with him?
I originally thought that Zhao Shucheng was considered a rich man, but he didn't even take this amount of money at all. Unexpectedly, he was petty and wanted to pay a penny of bride money.
"Xiao Zhao, you will be sad if you say this. The tuition fee for Sanli is tuition, and this bride price is bride price, so you can't confuse it. Otherwise, when people ask, I say I don't have a penny. Even if your family doesn't care, Sanli's face is not good-looking. In this way, Uncle Qiao is not a greedy person, so he will have 1,888. This number is auspicious, and it will be full of excitement all the way. How about it?"
"Uncle Qiao, you see, I just bought a house and decorate the furniture. I really can't afford to pay so much, otherwise it would be 888, and this number would be very auspicious. When we get married, I will have another statement."
Qiao Zuwang was suddenly a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could get more brides, but then the TV would be replaced with a large color TV or directly imported ones. Now it seems that there is no hope.
But having this money is also very different from not having it. After all, if you have this money, you don’t have to move your own money, and you can even leave a little money, which is enough for you to play for a long time.
Thinking that if I didn't agree, I might not even get the 800s. If Zhao Shucheng likes others at that time, or Sanli and Zhao Shucheng know about this, I wouldn't even think about getting a penny.
"That's OK, but I'll get the money now. I'll buy a color TV for my family and buy some clothes for Sanli. She also needs to have other girls, so I can't be wronged by Sanli."
Zhao Shucheng was too lazy to continue to get entangled with Qiao Zuwang, knowing that if he didn't pay, he might not be a monster at that time. If he couldn't get any benefits here, he would be betrothed to others, and it would be a lot of trouble at that time.
"Okay, Uncle Qiao, wait a moment, I'll get you the money."
Qiao Zuwang saw the money handed over by Zhao Shucheng, and his eyes were filled with laughter. After counting it, he confirmed that there was no problem, and then he said with a smile:
"Xiao Zhao, starting today, your affairs with Sanli are a foregone conclusion. Come to your house more often in the future."
"Okay, Uncle Qiao, I'll give it to you!"
Qiao Zuwang stood up but had no intention of leaving. He kept looking at the teacup, as if reminding something.
After seeing this, Zhao Shucheng immediately understood that he had not forgotten what he said before that he asked him to take his tea back.
"Look at me, Uncle Qiao, wait a moment, I'll get you tea."
Hearing Zhao Shucheng say this, Qiao Zuwang smiled and said, "No, no, no, why are you polite to the whole family?"
But Qiao Zuwang was just a little polite and had no intention of moving his steps.
After receiving the tea leaves that Zhao Shucheng gave him, he happily walked out the door, humming a small song while walking.
