The son rushed home with his prospective daughter-in-law, and let us hurry up to prepare for their marriage, they are going to get married.
When my son announced the good news, my wife and I jumped in shock.
Son, is this enlightened? We all urged him to get married many times, but he refused to do so.
I thought we wouldn't be able to hold our eldest grandson in our lifetime, but who knew that our son gave us a big surprise.
My wife and I hurriedly agreed, regardless of the scorching heat, running around the real estate to see the house, and striving to set a wedding house for our son as soon as possible.
02
My name is Su Mei, and I am 56 years old this year, but I can't wait for my only son to get married and start a family. For the sake of this son, we basically gave everything we had.
From the moment our son was born, we made up our minds to give our son the best. As long as my son is interested or likes, no matter how expensive it is, we will do our best to satisfy him.
My son is also very powerful, and his academic performance has been excellent since he was a child, and he was later admitted to a key university. The excellence of our son makes us have a lot of face as parents.
After graduating from his son, he stayed in the local city to work. We also arranged for him to work in his hometown, but my son insisted on staying outside and didn't want to stay in his hometown anymore.
03
We can't resist him, and we don't want to argue with him, so we can only let it go. After my son's job was stable, I began to ask relatives and friends to introduce my son to blind dates.
But others have introduced several of them, but my son didn't even look at the photos, let alone come back to see them. My son was very impatient and advised us not to worry, he had his own number of major events in life.
Although we also know that we shouldn't interfere, but my son is busy with work all day long, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to go shopping, where is the opportunity to meet girls and fall in love?
My son scoffed at this, thinking that we were eating salty turnips and worrying about it. The son's resistance to the blind date made us lose face in front of many relatives. Gradually, the son refused more, and others were released more pigeons, so naturally no one was willing to help his son introduce him to a blind date.
04
We sighed in our hometown, for fear that our son would not be enlightened and be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Who knows, only half a year has passed, and my son suddenly brought back a girlfriend and said that he wanted to marry each other.
I was surprised and delighted, my son, this stuffy gourd, brought someone back to get married without saying a word, but it didn't make us mess up.
After chatting with the girl for a long time, seeing that the other party was very good at talking and behaving well, and his appearance and height were also good, my wife and I nodded secretly. No wonder our son has been hiding it from us.
Both parties had a good impression and the marriage was quickly confirmed. It's just that when the conditions and requirements for marriage are mentioned, the girl bluntly said that because her parents have not come back yet, there is no way to talk about marriage in person, so her parents entrusted her to convey the requirements.
05
We were all at once in the spirit and ready to listen. As a result, the girl said that before she came, her parents told her that when a man marries a woman, whose daughter is a baby, so the bride price is 200,000 yuan, plus the child follows the mother's surname.
The bride price of 200,000 yuan is far beyond our expectations. As a result, I still want the child to take the mother's surname, is this not clear to let my son come to the door?
The prospective daughter-in-law and her parents want a bride price of 200,000 yuan, and the child takes the mother's surname, which is really worthy and standing, which makes people have to admire.
When the prospective daughter-in-law finished speaking, she stared straight at us and motioned for us to express her position. And the son who was standing next to him didn't say a word, obviously the two of them had negotiated it in private, and they were waiting for us to give the money as parents.
06
I was a little aggrieved, and I couldn't help but ask my prospective daughter-in-law, your family wants a bride price of 200,000 yuan, and you want the child to take the mother's surname, which obviously treats my son as a son-in-law.
The prospective daughter-in-law immediately retorted, how could this be seen as a door-to-door son-in-law? You bought the wedding house in my mother's city, and in the future, I will get pregnant and give birth, all of which are the work of my parents, and you are hundreds of kilometers apart, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip. In addition, the bride price of 200,000 yuan is the most basic standard for our local daughters, who is not allowed to spend 1.8 million yuan to marry a daughter-in-law?
The prospective daughter-in-law's fluttering words immediately blocked my mouth. I didn't expect that the prospective daughter-in-law asked for the bride price and the child's surname right, so wouldn't it be that my family paid to buy a house and give the bride price, and in the end I was lonely, and I didn't even have the right to decide the child's surname right?
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and my wife looked at each other, and they both saw disgust and speechlessness in each other's eyes. I gave my son a look and asked him to make his own statement. As a result, my son opened his mouth, but he persuaded us to agree to the conditions.
07
The son said disapprerovingly, Mom and Dad, what age is it now, Lan Lan and I are both only children. Whoever the child's surname is, it can't change that he is my bloodline. Lan Lan gave birth to children for me and sacrificed her youth, and the 200,000 bride price is my sincerity and intention to marry her.
The son is sonorous and powerful, and he was completely brainwashed by his prospective daughter-in-law. We only have one son, and the son is so far away from us, and he has to buy a house and settle in the city of the prospective daughter-in-law's mother's home, isn't that the difference with the inverted door?
I can't help but feel sad when I think of the son I worked so hard to raise, but in the end he made a wedding dress for someone else and became someone else's son. The prospective daughter-in-law wanted to defend something, but I stopped it with one hand.
I decided to leave the stall alone, I told my son and prospective daughter-in-law, since you have decided, then you buy the wedding house, you do the wedding, my son comes to the door, and the grandson loves to have whomever surname and whomever surname, and we will not interfere anymore.
08
I did what I said, and even the house that I could buy with a contract just waiting for my son to see it was canceled. Since the sons agree that the child takes the mother's surname, why should we parents ask for our own suffering?
After I decided to lay down, my son and prospective daughter-in-law were in a hurry, urging us to come up with the down payment and bride price as soon as possible, saying that they had to rush back to work.
I was indifferent, this son was raised for nothing. The elbows only turn outward, never favoring their parents. In this case, I won't buy the wedding house, I won't give the bride price, I won't do anything, and I don't expect anything from my son.
