My mother often said to me: "Swallow, you grew up in the mall. You must have an economic mind. Look at me, you still have a lot of room for improvement in the future."
When I was 5 years old, my mother gave birth to a younger brother. My father was going to work. My mother set up a stall in the mall to sell clothes, so she took my grandmother from her hometown to take care of her younger brother.
At that time, my grandmother was 66 years old and in poor health. It was very difficult to raise two children, so my mother often took me to the mall to follow her.
Almost all of my childhood memories are scenes of endless crowds of people, bargaining with their mothers and customers.
A piece of clothing is asked for a price of 358, and the customer is counter-offered by 158. The mother is not annoyed. She slowly chats with the customer and can reach 298. The customer thought she made a profit, so she happily carried the clothes home.
Mother’s level of buying things is also very high. The bargaining can make the seller cry. If you don’t make any money by selling, you won’t make any money. If you don’t sell, you won’t make any money.
I have always been proud of my mother and am so smart, although I have not inherited her.
That's it. My mother kept taking me to high school in the mall. I only lived in the school. After graduating from college, I returned to my parents and entered an public institution, .

After working for several months, someone introduced me to a partner, but my mother blocked me for many reasons. For example, the two sons at home are not good, the parents are not good at work, the man is not good at work, and the man is not good at work, and he is not good at being low...
Sometimes I am confused and don’t know if this is my mother looking for a partner, or if I look for it, although I know she is for my own good.
At this time, a colleague pursued me and I liked him very much.
I didn’t tell my mother, I first passed the conditions at home. He has a sister under him, and his parents have regular jobs, which is quite in line with his mother’s standards.
This colleague is Zhang Long, who is 178 tall and looks average. I like him because he is careful, clean, and is very capable.
has almost finished the talk, so I took Zhang Long to meet the parents.
My parents were very satisfied with him in all aspects, so the two families had a meal together and called relatives, which was considered a marriage contract.
When the result was to ask for a bride gift, there was a disagreement.
03
According to Zhang Long's meaning, it doesn't matter how much bride gift is. Anyway, getting married is a life for two people, and I agree with it, and the problem lies with my mother.
I told me that Zhang Long, my mother is a difficult person to talk to. He said that it would be 180,000, which is not enough to compare with the top and the bottom.
When I discussed with my mother, she thought about it for a while and said to me, "Daughter, don't worry about this matter. I have an idea. 180,000 is just the price they offered, I have to pay it back!"
"What kind of bidding is not to bid? How ugly do you think it's selling clothes! I'm your daughter."
I refuted her.
My mother ignored me and asked me to send a message to Zhang Long, with a bride price of 280,000 yuan.
I hesitated to Zhang Long, and he agreed, and his parents had no objection. I knew it was because of me, and he liked me so much.
I told my mother that she was very proud.

Zhang Long’s parents had bought another house a few years ago and were always empty. Next, they started to decorate. We are preparing to get married on the National Day.
When the divorce period is still three months away, my mother said to me, "Swallow, tell Zhang Long, and add another 100,000 yuan to the bride price! 380,000 yuan, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and they will agree."
"How did you go back on your word? Didn't you agree last time? 280,000 yuan is already a lot."
" is quite a lot, but Zhang Long's family has better conditions than others. I am the only daughter, and I am so outstanding. Just say it as I want. "
I was so angry that I ignored my mother for a few days.
But I thought that I would marry Zhang Long immediately. My mother would make trouble for us again. How upsetting!
When I told Zhang Long, he was silent for a long time and said to go back and discuss with his parents.
Zhang Long's parents still agreed, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
My mother is an occupational disease!
She tried again and again To explore other people's bottom line, I can't figure it out. How can I marry a daughter like this?
Unexpectedly, what I can't figure out is still behind!
05
Just one month after the divorce period, after dinner that day, my mother pulled me to her room:
"Swallow, I have figured it out, the bride price of 380,000 is not enough, 580,000, this is the last time, go and talk, they will agree, relatives and friends have notified me, I can't afford to lose this person. "
I opened my mouth in surprise!
" This money is not what I want. I save it. 380,000 is yours and 200,000 is for your brother. In the future, he will find a girlfriend, and the other party will speak loudly. I have no choice. "
" In other words, we just asked for a bride price of 200,000 yuan. Doesn't his family also have a daughter, and they can also want so much. Isn't this even? Otherwise, if we lose less, we wouldn’t have a big loss! "
My head was confused, but after my mother said this, I calmed down a little bit, and it was true that this is true. It seems that I am still too young.
After I told Zhang Long about this, Zhang Long was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and tears almost flowed out. He didn't expect that he would meet such a difficult mother-in-law.
He asked me to go back and wait for the letter.
It took a week, and Zhang Long didn't see me. I thought our marriage was going to be ruined, so I kept blaming my mother.
My mother was also very nervous and said to herself: "Like his family's conditions, it shouldn't be. Zhang Long's parents have been in work for so many years, so I have calculated it for them. They can take it out, don't be anxious! If it really doesn't work, we will give in. "
I was speechless!

A few days later, Zhang Long called me: "Swallow, my parents agreed. They said, let your mother ask for whatever she wants, and they would go on! "
I thought something was wrong, and I didn't think much about it at the time.
My mother then breathed a sigh of relief. She felt very accomplished.
The bride price was saved by my mother. She told me that she would not touch a penny of the money.
Just one month after my marriage, my mother-in-law came over.
I quickly poured her tea, and my mother-in-law waved her hand: "No need swallows, I happened to pass by here and come and tell you something. ”
Mother-in-law sat on the sofa, took out a few pieces of paper from her bag, and said to me, "Swallow, I have discussed with Zhang Long's father, you have started a family and started a business, and we want to separate from you. "
I thought I wouldn't separate the family, and we didn't live together.
Mother-in-law continued, "Look, out of the 580,000 yuan of the bride price, 400,000 yuan was a loan. I calculated that we bought the house, and we also paid part of the bride price. The 400,000 yuan loan was borrowed in the name of Zhang Long. You can repay it slowly in the future, and let's forget about the extra part. ”
I was stunned for a moment!

My mother calculated everything, and she calculated her daughter. I angrily returned to my parents' home with the loan contract.
I slammed these papers onto the table and said to my mother, "What do you think? If you don't work, we will cut off the relationship!"
My mother sat on the sofa and sighed: "I didn't expect that I've been playing with eagles all my life. This time I fell completely. They shouldn't be cruel!"
She went into the bedroom and flipped through the card for a long time, took the card out, and handed it to me with trembling hands: "You can pay off the loan!"
I just took it over, and my mother said again, "Will you stop them? Let me think about it."
I ignored her and slammed the door and left!
