Chapter 59 Mate Selection Criteria
"Oh, that's it. Isn't you moved by the little girl who is so affectionate to you? The little girl is good-looking and capable, and has a formal job. Are you still not satisfied with the conditions so good?" Aunt Lin said as if she couldn't hear Chen Xiabai's words.
"Xiao Bai, you can't be sunny or tall. Although your conditions are good, you can't take it for granted that you want to marry a girl with great conditions. Isn't the conditions of the person I just introduced to you very well?"
"Thank you, Aunt Lin, but I'm still very young. Now I just want to work well and have no plans to get married." Chen Xiabai rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "Aunt Lin, I'm serious. I really don't plan to get married now."
"And my sister just got married. We spent a lot of money when we held weddings before. My third brother also spent money on work. Now the family has no money to hold weddings."
"Aunt Lin, the girl you introduced is so good, so the dowry should be low, right? We absolutely cannot get the three major items, and the dowry money is not that much. You said that her conditions are so good, and her parents are willing to take out a little bit of dowry and marry the person home?" Chen Xiabai said directly.
Of course, their family knows whether the family has money or not, but what he said is true. Chen Xiahua's work does cost money, and Chen Xiayue also spent a lot of money to get married, so it seems that the Chen family must have spent a lot of money on it. Now it is not necessarily true that there is still money or not.
The Chen family will definitely not be able to afford the salary and will not be too poor to lose money, but it is impossible to give out a generous dowry.
After hearing Chen Xiabai's words, Aunt Lin's face froze, and then looked at Chen Xiayue who was standing behind Chen Xiabai with a curious look on her face. She smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, where does a girl need so much dowry to get married? If you want to get married, you can ask your sister..."
"Aunt Lin." Chen Xiabai interrupted Aunt Lin's words and said with a serious expression, "I didn't want my sister to give me a bride money to marry my wife. Aunt Lin, you are wrong. Moreover, Xia Yue is a girl who has been raised by my family. She can't work in the countryside when she gets married. How can she gain a foothold in her in-laws' house if her dowry is not rich?"
"Aunt Lin, let me tell you the truth. I have no plans to get married within three to five years. Don't bother to introduce me to a partner. I can save enough money for my marriage with my work within three to five years, but now I really have no plans to get married."
Aunt Lin had no choice when she heard this. Chen Xiabai was always gentle and polite, but he became more attractive when he was stern, so Aunt Lin couldn't continue to get entangled.
The most important thing is that Aunt Lin is not sure if the Chen family still has money to marry a wife. She told Chen Xiabai that their family has jobs, so they won’t starve to death if they don’t have much savings now.
But no one knows whether they can take out the money for marrying a wife. A job costs a lot of money. Everyone knows that the Chen family loves Chen Xiayue, the only daughter, and they don’t know how much dowry the Chen family will give Chen Xiayue.
What if you find a job for Chen Xiahua and marry Chen Xiayue out and spend all the savings of the Chen family over the years? Do you need the money for bride gifts and wedding banquets? People in the city pay attention to getting married, and bride gifts and other things must not be missed.
Of course, Chen Xiabai would not choose a condition that is much worse than him, and people with similar conditions as him would definitely not have less money to pay for the bride price. For a period of time, it was indeed as Chen Xiabai said that he had no money to marry a wife.
Aunt Lin gave up, and she introduced several to Chen Xiabai, but he always said that he was not considering marriage yet. She originally thought it was a rebuttal. But now, Aunt Lin thought about it and might really be that the Chen family could not get the bride money.
Chen Xiayue looked at her second brother, then looked at Aunt Lin without saying anything. She did have a lot of dowry, and in this era it was really a very generous dowry. But it was unlikely that she had emptied her family’s money.
Even if you add the money you spend on arranging work for her third brother, you can't spend all your savings. It's a little less, but you will definitely not be able to lose money.
Chen Xiabai told Aunt Lin that her family was very poor now and she didn't continue to say anything more, so she took Chen Xiayue and the others back to the house.
"I have been shopping for a while today. How are you doing in Xia Yue? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Xiabai said with concern.
Chen Xiayue's health was not that bad before, but wasn't it the last time that the disease occurred? Everyone in the Chen family was worried that her heart would become worse due to the last time the disease occurred, and they were worried that she would get sick again if she was not careful.
"I'm fine." Chen Xiayue smiled at her second brother and comforted him, "I'm really fine. I'm just walking without taking anything. My heart can still bear this amount of exercise."
Chen Xiayue is very healthy now, but how should she explain how she is good? So don’t let others know about it for a while. Only she and Zhang Chengchuan know that they are very healthy.
"It's fine." Chen Xiabai also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his sister's health was fine, "Then you have a good rest, and the second brother will talk to Achuan."
"Yes." Chen Xiayue nodded. Her second brother worked in a machinery factory. Zhang Chengchuan has read a lot of books on machinery recently. They should have a lot of topics to talk about.
Chen Xiayue returned to her room because her brothers at home had jobs, and her elder brother and his wife moved out to live in the house assigned by the school, and her second brother also lived in the single dormitory.
So now only Chen’s father, mother, and third brother, Chen Xiahua, live at home, and Chen Xiayue’s room is of course kept. Although she doesn’t go back to her parents’ home often, she doesn’t have a room to rest when she comes back.
The wheat on the farm was ripe. Chen Xiayue collected it and continued to plant it, and then continued to plant it. While bored, Chen Xiayue started reading the book again.
Chen Xiayue likes to read novels even more to pass the time, but the text on the Orc Empire is much different from that on Chinese, and Chen Xiayue can't understand it. Moreover, the Orc Empire is in a star-rated era, with very few paper books, and books are all e-books.
So it is difficult for Chen Xiayue to read novels from the Orc Empire. What she can only read is the Four Books and Five Classics that Zhang Chengchuan found for her here, and various collections of poems and prose.
Chen Xiayue was reading a book while waiting for the wheat on the farm to mature. Outside, Zhang Chengchuan and Chen Xiabai talked very well about the topic of mechanical aspects.
