In rural areas, two hundred thousand is a vast watershed for the economic condition of most ordinary families.
When facing significant events, like children getting married or family members falling gravely ill, whether it be begging everyone they can or selling houses and land, ordinary families can generally scrape together less than two hundred thousand.
But amounts above two hundred thousand are a different story.
Because rural houses are cheap, even a new large bungalow with five or six rooms can only sell for about seventy or eighty thousand at most.
And if you try to borrow from relatives and friends, five thousand already counts as a considerable favor.
It was precisely because Chang Wenzhu knew this that he used two hundred thousand as a condition.
He thought that Wenwen's family, even if they sold everything they could sell and borrowed everywhere they could, would definitely not be able to come up with this sum of money.
