"Isn't there a traffic jam on the road when my in laws came just now? That's why I'm late. Xiao Mo told us just now."
My mother's attention was all on Xiao's mother at the moment. She didn't hear that Xiao's mother was intentional. Instead, she explained patiently,
I was a little worried. From the first words of Xiao's mother, I felt that things would not go well today. I was worried. I looked at Xiao Mo and found that his handsome face was also a little gloomy at the moment.
"What traffic jam? These are the reasons Xiao Mo found for me. I just made an appointment with my friends to go to the spa. I forgot to meet you today."
Xiao Mo tidied up his hair and then said this sentence in a strange way.
At the moment, even if my mother is stupid, she can hear that Xiao's mother doesn't care about us at all, and the expression on her face becomes a little ugly.
"Mom, pay attention to your attitude!"
Xiao Mo, sitting next to Xiao's mother, saw that she was so embarrassed. His face became ugly. He looked at Xiao's mother gloomily and reminded her in a low voice.
Although Xiao's mother was very dissatisfied with me, Xiao Mo still had to give me face. After she looked at me, although she was dissatisfied in her eyes, she still didn't say anything because Xiao's mother was present.
"Mom and Dad, you've been here for so long. Drink some water first."
The atmosphere has become so stiff, which is also not what I want to see. I try to ease the atmosphere and don't want the two families to be so stiff.
At this time, the waiter has also begun to serve dishes, which eased the original stiff atmosphere.
"Aunt, it's so late. You're hungry. Eat first."
Xiao Mo looked at Xiao's mother and didn't speak. Then his eyes turned to my parents.
"OK, OK."
My parents have lived in the countryside all their life and have never eaten in such a high-end hotel, so they can't help being excited when they see the dishes they can't name. There are several dishes, and they don't know how to eat at all.
Seeing this scene, I have never been embarrassed, and even feel a little humiliated. If only Xiao Mo was here, I might not be so embarrassed. After all, Xiao Mo knows me, but Xiao's mother is here. She originally cared about the life gap between me and Xiao mo. now my parents are like this, which is tantamount to deepening this impression on her.
Sure enough, after she saw my parents' eating photos, her face became disdainful and disdainful. She looked at my parents with such eyes. I was really uncomfortable.
"Have you two always lived in the village? I think you eat like a little..."
Xiao's mother didn't know whether she couldn't watch it anymore or deliberately wanted to make a fool of my parents. At this time, she spoke. Although she didn't finish, I guessed what she wanted to say behind her.
I looked at Xiao's mother with an ugly face. At this time, only my parents had not reacted with me.
"Mom, if you don't want to have a good talk, you can go to your spa now."
Xiao Mo looked at Xiao's mother indifferently, and was obviously angry.
Xiao's mother wanted to say something, but after hearing Xiao Mo's words, although she was angry, she didn't say anything.
About to speak, but saying nothing to her, my parents saw Xiao Mu has the final say in the presence of Xiao mo.
My mother cleared her throat and looked at Xiao Mo, ready to speak. I don't know why. At the moment, I have a bad feeling in my heart.
Sure enough, my mother's next words verified my guess.
"Xiao Mo, your wedding with Xin'an will be held in a few days. Do you want to follow the customs of our woman?"
My mother said this sentence lightly, but the expectation in her eyes soon made me understand what she wanted to say next.
I clenched my hand nervously and quickly interrupted my mother's words, "Mom, today is the first time to meet. Otherwise, I'd better say it next time."
Of course I know what my mother is going to say, but I know my mother's character very well. She must not just ask for bride price money.
"It's all right, aunt. Just say what you have. My wedding with Xinan is coming soon. If you don't say anything, it's too late."
I didn't let my mother say it just now, but Xiao Mo didn't notice the worry in my tone. Although he and my mother had been unhappy before, after all, we were going to get married together. My parents were also his parents. Naturally, he was a lot more polite.
"Well, since you let me talk, I'll talk about me."
My mother glared at me in displeasure. I knew he was blaming me for not letting her say it. I was worried, but I couldn't say anything at the moment. Xiao Mo had told my mother to say it. I couldn't stop her.
"I don't know if you have such attention in big cities. When we marry a daughter in the countryside, the man needs to give bride price money."
After my mother said these words, she looked at Xiao Mo as if she wanted to see something from Xiao Mo's face. However, Xiao Mo's face was still light and could not see anything. On the contrary, it was Xiao's mother, whose eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, as if she was very dissatisfied with my mother's requirements.
"How much do you want, aunt?"
There was no expression on Xiao Mo's calm face. Even I didn't know what he thought in his heart.
However, for people like Xiao Mo, getting married in the countryside requires a bride price of thirty or fifty thousand. It's nothing to him at all, but I'm worried that my parents will take advantage of this opportunity.
After hearing Xiao Mo's words, my mother felt a play and her face became a little excited.
She was a little excited and stretched out two fingers to Xiao mo.
"Twenty thousand?"
Xiao's mother's face was faint. She didn't have much expression when she saw my mother's two fingers. After all, 20000 yuan is almost pocket money for their rich families.
"No, how could it be 20000."
My mother frowned and denied Xiao's guess.
"Two hundred thousand?"
Xiao's mother frowned. Although she thought I wasn't worth the 200000, she didn't say anything.
Xiao Mo was expressionless from beginning to end, as if he didn't care how much money he had.
I couldn't help frowning and looking at my mother. In rural areas, the bride price of 200000 is a lot. Few people will take out so much bride price to marry their daughter-in-law.
However, according to my parents' open-minded character, I want 200000. Although I think it's a little too much, it's not too outrageous.
But her next words shocked me and opened my eyes, "it's two million, not two hundred thousand!"
My mother's face also had a faint smile, but her words shocked everyone present.
