Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date
Chapter 357 Discussing Marriage
Hilton Hotel. Zhou Chen, who picked up Guan Juer's parents, brought her parents here. The two families of parents met here today.
As for the purpose, it is to discuss the marriage of the two of them, and hope that things will go smoothly today.
At the dinner table, parents from both sides praised each other's two children. Guan's mother praised Zhou Chen for being tall, handsome and promising at a young age, while Zhou's mother praised Guan Juer for being well-educated and well-mannered.
In short, both of them were very polite and the atmosphere was quite lively, but no one took the initiative to talk about business.
In the end, it was Zhou Chen who invited them to eat, which interrupted their pleasantries.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, please stop chatting. Today is a happy day. Let's raise our glasses together and welcome Uncle and Aunt to the capital."
Haha, seeing this, Guan Juer quickly stood up and accompanied Zhou Chen to toast the parents. Unfortunately, the two nervous mothers quickly stopped Guan Juer because they were worried about Guan Juer's health.
"Oh, Guan Guan, you're still pregnant, how can you drink?
Sit down quickly. Everyone sitting here is family. There's no need to be so polite."
After saying this, Mother Zhou started to scold Zhou Chen, blaming him for not knowing how to take care of others, but because he was really too irresponsible.
Mother Guan also glared at Zhou Chen to express her dissatisfaction. Pregnant women are very delicate and have to be careful with every move.
You have to be extra careful and take care of the baby before it is born. How can you let a pregnant woman drink alcohol?
Well, the mother-in-law and mother directly pointed the finger at himself, which made Zhou Chen feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Guan Juer interrupted and interrupted their accusations.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to apologize and said that he would take good care of Guan Juer. After Zhou Chen drank two glasses of wine with his parents, his mother finally got down to business.
"My dear relatives, my son is very unreliable and has a very stubborn temper. For this reason, my old man and I have been worried about him a lot.
But this time we did something serious. As parents, we expressed our support for his relationship with Guan Guan, and I am very satisfied with Guan Guan as my daughter-in-law.
Also, this kid of mine is in trouble again. I didn’t expect Guan Guan to be pregnant. This is a good thing for us. As parents, we are not irresponsible people.
Since Guan Guan is already pregnant, their wedding should be put on the agenda, so we invited the in-laws to come and discuss the details of their marriage.
Your family is marrying off their daughter, and ours is marrying off their son. Ultimately, you're the ones who are at a disadvantage. In-laws, you can raise any requests you have and we can discuss them."
Faced with Zhou's mother's proposal, Guan's mother thought more about it. In her opinion, discussing marriage is nothing more than topics such as cars, houses, and betrothal gifts.
Sometimes the two sides may even have a big fight over this. Such things are very common in TV dramas, but in Guan's mother's opinion, there is no need to discuss these issues at all.
There are two main purposes for the girl's family to ask for these things. Either they want to take advantage of the opportunity of marriage to get the man's money, which is really not a good idea.
Or it is just a so-called guarantee for the woman, which doesn’t make any sense to Guan’s mother.
First of all, it is not necessary for them to make money in the name of Guan Juer's marriage. You should know that Guan Juer is an only child in their family and has no brothers or sisters to support. The salary of the two old people is enough for them to spend.
Haha, their family is not selling their daughter, so they have no intention of making a fortune.
As for the so-called guarantee for the woman, it is even more meaningless in Guan's mother's opinion. It is unlucky to think about divorce before getting married.
Things like cars and houses are a burden to people who don't have money, but they have no meaning to a rich second-generation family like Zhou Chen. If he brings them up on his own initiative, he will seem a little petty.
This is not because Guan's mother is so open-minded, but because she understands one thing: when it comes to marriage, you should talk about feelings with rich people, and talk about dowry with poor people.
For rich people, money can solve all problems, so what's the point of Guan's mother still harping on issues like house and betrothal gifts?
What's more, Guan Juer is pregnant now. If she gives birth to a child for the Zhou family, the child will be the future heir of the Star Group. This is the best guarantee.
So when Mother Zhou asked them what their requirements were for marriage, Mother Guan spoke nicely.
"Oh, my dear, regarding the house and the betrothal gift, our family doesn't really care.
Today's society is really too materialistic. It's not like our generation, who could go through life's ups and downs just by having a kettle and a washbasin when they got married.
In my opinion, the most important thing is the children's feelings. As long as they can love each other and support each other to live a good life, we as parents can rest assured.
We don’t have any material requirements, but our children still need to have what they need when they get married. At least they can’t lose face for both families. Don’t you think so?
Guan Guan is our only daughter, and I hope she can live a better life in the future, so that we as elders can rest assured."
Mother Guan's words were very flexible. She did not make any demands in the name of love, but then she added that everything a marriage should have must be there, which left some room for maneuver.
It's more like saying that it's up to you to decide, or let the Zhou family tell us about your plan and we will check for any omissions.
Since that was the case, Mother Zhou didn't hesitate and instead talked about her own arrangements.
"My dear relatives, regarding the matter of the two getting married, let me tell you our opinions. If there are any shortcomings, you must point them out. We can discuss everything.
You don't have to worry about the car and house for the wedding. We have several houses in the capital and more than a dozen cars at home.
Of course, whether in Shanghai or Beijing, if Guan Guan and Xiao Chen need it, buying a villa and a car can be arranged at any time. I respect Guan Guan and their opinions on this point.
As for the betrothal gift, we in old Beijing don't have such a custom. If you have such a custom there, we can also arrange it here. What do you think is a suitable amount?"
Before Mrs. Zhou could finish her words, Mrs. Guan interrupted her. She didn't want people to think that their family was marrying off their daughter for money.
"My dear relatives, we have no requirements for the betrothal gift. We had already discussed this when Zhou Chen came to my house during the Chinese New Year.
Our family doesn't want a betrothal gift, and we will also give a large dowry. After all, we only have this one daughter, and we must marry her off in style."
At this time, Guan Juer's father, who is usually quiet, also expressed his opinion: "As long as the two children can live a happy life, we have no requirements in other aspects. I agree with my wife on this point. We are very satisfied with your arrangement."
As the head of the family, Mr. Guan's statement meant that the matter was settled, and Mother Zhou did not worry too much about the issue of the bride price.
Then Mother Zhou talked about her plan, and then the group started discussing it, trying to choose a result that would satisfy both parties.
