Ma Yang was feeling pretty down recently.
He was almost hitting 30 and had been dating his girlfriend for seven or eight years, reaching the stage where marriage was on the table.
His future mother-in-law's opening demand was a dowry of 300,000 yuan, and his girlfriend insisted they had to buy an apartment in downtown Jianglin City, the closer to the city center the better, supposedly for the future children to attend good schools. She also demanded that the car, at the very least, be an Audi.
A 300,000 yuan dowry + a sedan worth more than 300,000 yuan + a house around 2 million yuan.
Looking at his bank account, which held less than 100,000 yuan, Ma Yang was at a loss for words.
I mean, come on, I'm just an average Joe, even if I had started working in the Warring States period, I couldn't have saved up this much money.
Despite these demands being utterly unreasonable,
it's not as simple as cold-hearted bystanders would say, to just cut ties with a clean break.
