Hearing Zhang Quandan's words, Zhang Xiaofan began to seriously contemplate the matter.
The current issue was indeed not about the gibbon, but rather the matter of the bride price.
Perhaps Cui Hua, out of love, might not require Zhang Quandan's bride price, but her parents would absolutely not agree to it.
In the countryside, some people place great importance on the bride price; this is not just about money, but also a question of face.
"My Xiaofang's bride price was ten thousand!"
"My Xiao Hong's bride price was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
"My Chun Chun's bride price was eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!"
...
Other people's daughters get a bride price when they marry, why doesn't mine?
How will others view us? Do we not want face in the village?
Moreover, if you're not willing to give a bride price, how can you promise happiness to my daughter?
These are the fundamental reasons for insisting on a bride price.
