Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

"Sister-in-law, what you said is true. Our Xiaoling is more than qualified to marry your Huangbo! 2 is not too much for us. With Xiaoling's character and appearance, it is not difficult for her to marry in the city. Even if we give a dowry of or , it is not impossible."

Mother Qiao raised her head and said proudly.

"Mother of the child, what are you talking about?" Dad Qiao glared at Mom Qiao and said apologetically to the two elders of the Huang family.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law, it is true that we are asking for 2 yuan, which is a bit unreasonable. It's just that my family needs money recently, so I hope you can forgive me."

"Your family needs money, so you have to sell your daughter? You're asking for such a high price." Huang's mother was not polite and stood up and said angrily.

"Mom, don't be so anxious! We are still discussing it!" Dad Huang quickly pulled Mom Huang back to her seat.

"It's 2. One cent less and our Xiaoling won't marry." Mother Qiao said loudly without showing any weakness.

"What? 2?" Qiao Xiaoling's scream came from the back door. It turned out that she and Huang Bo had just walked in from the backyard, and they heard what Qiao's mother said when they entered the door.

"Let's go, son. We can't afford to marry the daughter of the Qiao family."

Mother Huang stood up quickly, rushed forward, and pulled Huang Bo out.

"Brother Qiao, wait, let's discuss this later!"

Mr. Huang stood up embarrassedly and chased after him.

"Mom, mom, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were here to propose marriage?"

Huang Bo hadn't figured out what was going on yet, and he asked as he was pulled forward by his mother.

"Let's go, let's go back and talk about it." Huang's father was also feeling unhappy, and with a gloomy face he told Huang Bo to go back and talk about it.

"What did you say? You asked the Huang family for a 20,000 yuan betrothal gift?"

The Qiao family was also in turmoil at this time. Qiao Xiaoling looked incredulous after hearing what her father and mother said.

"What's wrong with 20,000? Is it a lot? Look at Huang Bo, that boy is short and fat, how can he be worthy of you?" Qiao's mother said angrily.

"Who said I'm going to marry Huang Bo? I haven't thought about it yet."

Qiao Xiaoling was also quite angry. Over the years, she always felt that she only treated Huang Bo as a brother, and as for marriage, she had never thought about it.

Huang Bo was indeed very good to her, but she always felt that something was missing. Perhaps it was because Huang Bo was not handsome enough and did not meet her ideal standard of a partner.

Besides, she has been learning tailoring for several years and will be able to become a master this year. She has already discussed with her companions that they will go to the coastal areas to work after the Spring Festival. Her ideal is to make a name for herself in the city and she does not want to stay in this desolate rural area for the rest of her life.

"Big sister, you, you just go and talk to Huang Bo and ask his family to pay 2 yuan for the betrothal gift, so that I can marry your sister-in-law."

Qiao Xiaofeng lowered his voice and spoke to Qiao Xiaoling.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Are you going to sell your sister to help you get a wife?" Qiao Xiaoling said angrily.

"Xiaoling, what are you talking about? Your sister-in-law's family asked us for a dowry, and we also asked the Huang family for a dowry. This is all natural. Is there anything wrong with it?" Huang's mother shouted.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Everyone has left. What are you arguing about?"

Father Huang was so angry that he yelled at several people.

Several people immediately shut up, and Qiao Xiaofeng walked into the room dejectedly.

Qiao's mother had a bad temper and was sent to the kitchen by Qiao's father to cook. At this time, only Qiao Xiaoling and Qiao's father were left in the main room.

Dad Qiao asked Qiao Xiaoling to sit down, lit a cigarette, and spoke to Qiaoling earnestly.

"Xiaoling, don't blame your mother. She is also worried about your brother's situation."

Dad Qiao told Qiao Xiaoling about his plan to go to Qiao Xiaofeng's girlfriend's house to propose marriage.

"It's impossible for our family to come up with that much money. You know, your father is just a farmer. He can't do anything except farming. You can blame your father for being incompetent. Your brother is already an adult, and it's not easy for him to find a girl he likes."

Father Qiao took a long puff of his cigarette, sighed and continued.

"I think Huang Bo has been very kind to you over the years, and his family is one of the best in the village. If you marry into his family, you won't suffer any loss. As long as his family can come up with the money to help us with your brother's matter, you will be doing your parents a favor."

Hearing this, tears welled up in Qiao Xiaoling's eyes. She looked at her father with wrinkled face and didn't know how to answer him.

"Dad, let me think about it!" After saying that, she turned and went into the room.

After the Huang family of three returned home, they talked about the matter.

"The Qiao family is the same. Why would they ask for so much money?" Huang Bo was also very angry.

"His family just wants to sell their daughter, why would they ask for such a high gift? Otherwise, Xiaobo, our family won't marry Qiao Xiaoling. With our family's financial situation, there are so many girls vying to marry you. We won't be wasting our time."

Huang Ma said earnestly.

"Mother, please don't say that. Things haven't come to the final stage yet. I'll go talk to Brother Qiao about it someday."

Huang Bo's father knew what Huang Bo was thinking. This boy had liked Qiao Xiaoling since he was a child. It was impossible to ask him to give up immediately because of the bride price.

"Yes, Mom! Dad is right. I'll go ask Xiaofeng one day to find out what's going on. The Qiao family is not an unreasonable family."

Huang Bo also comforted.

Two days later, Huang Bo made a special trip to ask Qiao Xiaofeng out and asked him for a long time. Qiao Xiaofeng did not tell Huang Bo the truth. He just said that this matter was discussed by his parents and he didn't know what to say.

Since the day she proposed, Qiao Xiaoling has always been avoiding Huang Bo. She is very conflicted and doesn't know how to face Huang Bo.

Her feelings towards Huang Bo have always been vague and she herself can't figure it out. She needs to think about this issue calmly.

To be honest, she knew how good Huang Bo had been to her over the years. Huang Bo was a good person with a good heart, skills, and a hard-working spirit. He was undoubtedly a good choice to be her husband.

But she just didn't have that heart-pounding feeling for him.

If she did not agree to this marriage, her brother's problem would not be solved. If she agreed, she was not sure whether she really liked Huang Bo and whether she could live a good life with him, and her ideals would be shattered.

She was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to hide from Huang Bo and think things through.

During this period, Huang's father also met with Qiao's father several times alone, but Qiao's father looked embarrassed and said that the family really needed the money and the bride price must be this much, no less.

Huang Bo has been in a depressed mood recently because Qiao Xiaoling has been avoiding him, and the shop has been closed for several days.

When Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang saw their son like this, they were worried.

More than two months later, Qiao Xiaoling suddenly came to see Huang Bo, which made him overjoyed.

After considering for a period of time, coupled with Qiao's mother's constant nagging and Qiao's father's sad face, Qiao Xiaoling made a decision that made everyone regret it. Everything that happened afterwards was caused by her and ended because of her.

In order to help her brother and not to put her parents in a difficult position, she called Huang Bo out and told him what was on her mind.
