Talking about marriage, the expectant mother-in-law wanted to cut the lottery gift money. I smiled and took out the dowry list, and she immediately shut up.

In the past, I thought that two people fell in love with each other. Until I wanted to talk about marriage with my boyfriend, I found that I was too naive. Feelings were only one aspect for men and women who got married, and for families of both sides, the importance of material and property became apparent at this time. Our wedding can not be held for a long time, mainly because of this.

My family has been poor since I was a child. My family is from the suburbs, and my parents don't have a job. I make a living by farming and working in the city. I have a younger brother who is two years younger than me. I am not married now. I have just graduated from college and my family has a heavy burden. And my boyfriend's family is from the city, although their family does not belong to any rich family, but at least there is an ordinary working-class standard, so my mother-in-law always looks down on me, ever since we had an open relationship when he brought me to the door. she often despises and satirizes me in words. I think she has a lot of patience because she is her boyfriend's only relative. I think I will inevitably get along with her and live with her in the future. So not only don't care about it, but please it in every way.

Maybe it was for the sake of being respectful and obedient to her, or because her son was too persistent. Anyway, my mother-in-law finally relieved and agreed that we began to discuss marriage. At that time, seriously, I won the most difficult position with the war and won a phased victory, and I felt that I was finally about to enter into marriage with my boyfriend. There is a feeling of impulse to cry, from which we can understand what kind of mood I am, which is really not easy, much more difficult than I thought before.

I thought the hardship would come to an end, and everything went well. But unexpectedly, when the two families were talking about marriage, my mother-in-law still found fault with me a lot. Her method of expression was very strange, mainly reflected in the bride price, always a plan a day, less and less. My family disagreed and insisted that according to our local customs, at least 150000, not a penny less. She was silent at that time, and we thought she had backed down, but it wasn't long before she said that she still didn't want to give so much. She thought that my family didn't deserve so much bride price and had to halve it. It dragged on like this for several months, but no agreement was reached. Seeing that the wedding was delayed by her, and she would not stop until her goal was achieved, I couldn't bear it. I smiled and showed her a dowry list that my mother's family had made for me a few days ago. after reading it, her face changed greatly and she gave in at that time.

In the past two months, some great changes have taken place in my mother's house. My parents originally wanted to share my suite as a dowry, but also wanted to give me some more money, but now the bride price is so small that it is not worth it for my family to paste it up. I said to her, it seems that my family also saved, there is no need to marry the house, it is cost-effective. When she heard this, her attitude immediately changed, and she immediately stopped talking about the difficult words and flattered me, saying that I did not look like the kind of person who would be poor for the rest of her life. She smiled all over her face, and the bride price immediately gave in. Is it amazing to say that my mother-to-be is snobbish? Is it necessary for this kind of marriage to continue?
