106: You have good conditions

"Of course!" Cheng Xiaoxuan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Luo Xu was overjoyed.

Had he really struck gold?

Let alone the sixty thousand Cheng Xiaoxuan mentioned, even a bride price of one hundred thousand would be an incredible bargain compared to local girls in Gannan!

"However, it also depends on the specific situation."

"Look at me, leaving my parents and running to such a distant place."

"If I really marry here, then in the future, let alone once a year, I don't even know if I'll be able to go back once every three to five years."

"Taking a bit more bride price to leave for my parents at this time can be considered fulfilling my filial duty as a child."

Luo Xu felt a bit dazed seeing Cheng Xiaoxuan's sentimental posture.

Ten minutes ago, didn't she seem to say with a look of disgust that her original family was terrible and her parents didn't care about her at all?

Even not going home for the New Year.

"Aren't your parents always not very good to you?"

Luo Xu couldn't help but ask out loud.

Cheng Xiaoxuan was also stunned, then her voice rose slightly.

"Just because our relationship isn't good doesn't mean I can't fulfill my filial duties, right?"

"Do you want to marry a woman who isn't even good to her own parents?"

Faced with the moral high ground, Luo Xu was speechless.

"That's true."

"Then what are your requirements for the bride price?"

"Three hundred thousand."

Luo Xu was dumbfounded.

Wasn't that just back to square one!

Chen Qiu, sitting behind them, spat out a mouthful of water.

Good, good, good.

Although I'm rebellious, had a falling out with my family, and don't go home for the New Year, my filial piety still exists, and it comes with a price tag.

A three hundred thousand buyout!

This is really about doing as the Romans do!

It's just that it's unknown how much of that three hundred thousand in bride price the parents she had a falling out with would actually get.

At this moment, the restaurant served the food.

Cheng Xiaoxuan changed the subject.

While picking food for Luo Xu, she started chatting about life topics.

But to Chen Qiu, what sounded like chatting was actually just various ways of flattering Luo Xu and then subtly imposing responsibilities on him.

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "Are you a university graduate?"

Luo Xu: "Yeah, just a regular university, nothing special."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "A university degree is very impressive, especially since I've heard that the university graduation rate in Gannan is very low. You can be considered one of the elite."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "I'm not that good. I finished nursing school and went straight to work. If we have children later, your university education will be great for tutoring them!"

Luo Xu: "What I learned before has long been returned to my teachers..."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "Don't be modest. You're a university student who fought your way out of a province like Gannan, which has one of the lowest university graduation rates!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "But education is really competitive now. We'll have to arrange for a good school district house when the time comes."

Cheng Xiaoxuan: "The comparisons between children these days are also very serious. Whether they go to an elite kindergarten, whether they drive a mercedes-benz or BMW, how much their parents' clothes cost, how many luxury goods they have—that's all showing off!"

As they chatted, Luo Xu felt something was off.

Why did Cheng Xiaoxuan's topics keep getting more and more high-end?

A moment ago they were talking about RVs, and now they were even talking about luxury goods!

Luo Xu: "Those are all too far off. Sister Xiaoxuan, why don't you just state your own requirements."

Luo Xu asked somewhat seriously.

He was quite satisfied with Cheng Xiaoxuan in every aspect.

She spoke nicely and was pretty too.

And she was considerate!

Although the conversation just now was a bit distant and fantastical, didn't it just show that she had plans for the future!

As for the three hundred thousand bride price...

It would cost that much for a local girl anyway, so gritting his teeth, it was barely within an acceptable range.

However, the next sentence from Cheng Xiaoxuan left Luo Xu completely stunned.

"What I just said are my requirements!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan said with a smile.

"A bride price of three hundred thousand."

"A school district house paid for in full."

"And a BBA."

"I'd be quite satisfied with that!"

Immediately after, seeing that Luo Xu's expression seemed to change, she spoke gently again.

"You have good conditions. You'll have to arrange these things sooner or later, so why not just get them all at once when we get married?"

Luo Xu was dumbfounded.

Good conditions?

Me?

"I just graduated, my annual salary is only seventy or eighty thousand..."

Luo Xu quickly explained.

Cheng Xiaoxuan said nonchalantly.

"It's fine, the future is promising, it will go up eventually. Besides, an annual salary of seventy or eighty thousand is more than enough to support just me."

"Support just you?"

Luo Xu's mouth opened slightly.

Wait, aren't you going to work?

You wouldn't really just stay home and play mahjong, would you?

And.

"What about the car, the house, and the children's expenses..."

"These will just have to be supported by the family..."

Cheng Xiaoxuan looked at him strangely, then immediately realized.

Hmm, this little brother might have a strong sense of self-esteem, doesn't want to rely on his family, and wants to work for it himself.

So, she gently persuaded him.

"You just graduated and your family already bought you a three hundred thousand car. Don't worry, for such a major life event, they will definitely help you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xu suddenly snapped back to reality.

It's over!

A misunderstanding, I overdid the act.

He gritted his teeth and then braced himself to explain.

"That car is my cousin's."

Cheng Xiaoxuan was stunned.

"Didn't you say your family bought it..."

"Yeah, my cousin is also my family."

Hearing Luo Xu's words, Cheng Xiaoxuan's face instantly darkened.

"Then what about you?"

"I don't have a car... My family's conditions are also just average!"

"So you were lying to me the whole time?!"

Cheng Xiaoxuan's voice suddenly rose in volume, and she glared at Luo Xu with a face full of anger.

She felt a bit dizzy.

Luo Xu felt a bit aggrieved.

He didn't expect Cheng Xiaoxuan to have imagined such a complete scenario, treating him like a young master from a wealthy family.

"Sister Xiaoxuan, I don't have a problem with the bride price."

"As for the house, we can buy it with a mortgage!"

"If the two of us work hard together, we'll be able to afford a BBA in the future too."

Luo Xu hurriedly said.

However, what greeted him was Cheng Xiaoxuan's verbal lashing.

"You, a loser from a non-elite university, only earning seventy or eighty thousand a year, how are you going to work hard?"

"Are you even a man? Do you want me to keep shaking milk tea for another ten years?"

Luo Xu was stunned by the scolding.

Wait, you didn't have this face just a moment ago!

You said I was an elite university student and that my future salary was promising!

How did I suddenly stop being a man in the blink of an eye?

Are you expecting to just enjoy life for the rest of your life after getting married?

"Sister Xiaoxuan..."

Just as Luo Xu opened his mouth, he saw Cheng Xiaoxuan across from him stand up, grab her bag, and look down at him.

That look of disgust was exactly the same as when she talked about her original family earlier.

Watching Cheng Xiaoxuan's back as she took her bag and left, Luo Xu felt a bit dejected.

He had truly liked Cheng Xiaoxuan just a moment ago.

So she only pretended to be like that because she thought his family was rich and was looking forward to a life of leisure in the future?

Once the expectations stopped, the feelings hit zero!

Especially Cheng Xiaoxuan's subsequent scolding, which made him doubt his own life.

He had studied hard for over ten years and managed to get into a university in a province where the university graduation rate was over thirty percent and the first-tier university rate was just over ten percent.

Now, one year after graduation, he had an annual salary of seventy or eighty thousand, and his family could pay the down payment and the three hundred thousand bride price.

Did such conditions not even qualify him to be a man?
