Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 656: Bride Price

Xu Huizhen was immediately displeased upon hearing this, and Ye Ning felt even more that Ye Dezhang always had a small-minded mentality, lacking any insight.

With the little money their family currently earns, Ye Dezhang actually thinks it’s enough and considers himself quite wealthy.

He truly doesn’t understand how exciting the life of a wealthy family can be.

Then they heard Ye Dezhang say, "I just want to ask Ye Fei, does she still recognize me as her father, and does she still see us as her family? Is she going to pretend she doesn’t have a maternal family for the sake of the Zhao Family?"

"Ye Fei is our daughter. The Zhao Family can’t bully people like this, can’t look down on people like this, pretending we don’t exist, even thinking our presence is a disgrace to them. Is Ye Fei really going to abandon her own relatives for such a family?"

"No matter how good the Zhao Family is, can they be better than her own blood-related family? When real difficulties arise, at critical times, the ones you can always count on are your own relatives."

"I just want to see what the Zhao Family’s attitude really is."

On this point, Xu Huizhen agreed.

She nodded vigorously, "The Zhao Family can’t just deny us!"

Even though she extremely disliked Ye Fei and felt very uncomfortable with Ye Fei being able to marry into the Zhao Family,

But since there was an in-law relationship with the Zhao Family, why not seize it properly?

She even thought, even if she disliked Ye Fei, she still wanted to gain benefits from the Zhao Family through Ye Fei.

"We are the legitimate relatives of the Zhao Family, and they can’t just dismiss us like this! Since Ye Fei is their properly-wedded wife, the bride price they’re supposed to give must be given by the Zhao Family!"

"As one of the Eight Great Families, is the Zhao Family really going to do something as disgraceful as not giving a bride price, or giving too little which would also embarrass them? Even if the Zhao Family doesn’t want to associate with us, they’ve still married our daughter. Would it be proper for them to take a daughter-in-law for free without giving anything?"

Ye Ning nodded in satisfaction, Xu Huizhen finally made a good point.

Ye Dezhang hesitated, "But it’s already not easy for Ye Fei to marry into the Zhao Family, not to mention she brought a child. The Zhao Family accepting this situation is already quite remarkable, should we just forget about the dowry?"

Ye Dezhang thought, in any ordinary family, marrying a single woman with a child, the family might not even be willing.

With such conditions for the woman, it’s hard to ask for too much.

"Not to mention the huge gap between our family and the Zhao Family," Ye Dezhang said.

"That won’t do!" Xu Huizhen immediately said, "Marrying Ye Fei was something the Zhao Family willingly wanted, it was their own choice, nothing to do with us. We didn’t beg them to marry her, we weren’t chasing after them!"

"Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen got married, and we didn’t even know. We didn’t force them, nor did we threaten them. They did it voluntarily, so why shouldn’t they follow the customs and give us a bride price?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"We won’t talk about anything else; just regular families, when marrying a bride, the bride price starts from 100,000 yuan! For families just a bit better off, not to mention wealthy ones, families with a reasonably good income, the bride price starts from 200,000 yuan."

"This is the norm even among ordinary folks, and being one of the Eight Great Families, the Zhao Family is marrying the future mistress of the household, such an important position, how can they just marry her off easily without showing anything?"

"Since their family agreed to let Ye Fei marry in, there must be something about Ye Fei that satisfies them. Since they’re satisfied, they should give us money," Xu Huizhen insisted firmly.

Ye Dezhang hesitated, wanting to speak, unsure of what to say, wanting to speak for Ye Fei, but thinking of Ye Fei’s actions made his heart cold, and in the end, he didn’t say anything.

Ye Ning said, "Dad, don’t speak for Ye Fei. Mom makes sense. In proper families, when handling marriages, the customs and etiquette should not be ignored. Ye Fei is our daughter, and if they’re marrying Ye Fei, why don’t they follow customs?"

"If people find out Ye Fei married into the Zhao Family and got nothing, won’t they laugh at our family? People will say the Zhao Family doesn’t regard us, won’t they ridicule our family for being nothing?"

"This isn’t just Ye Fei’s face, it’s also our family’s reputation!"

Upon Ye Ning’s reminder, Ye Dezhang realized what Ye Ning said was quite reasonable.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes around and said to Ye Dezhang, "And think about it, didn’t Ye Fei ask us for 500,000 yuan? Although she has money, she asked us for money, why should we owe her? Ask the Zhao Family for the bride price, and we’ll give this money to Ye Fei, so she stops saying we owe her."

Xu Huizhen coldly sneered, "We raised her from a young age, and now it turns out we owe her? Saying this would make people laugh their teeth off!"

Of course, Xu Huizhen was just saying this to persuade Ye Dezhang.

It was just to get his agreement so they could go ask the Zhao Family for money together.

In reality, once the money was with Xu Huizhen, there was no way she would give it to Ye Fei.

"Regular families start with a bride price of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. The Zhao Family, such a big family, isn’t embarrassed to give anything less than a million?" Xu Huizhen sneered, "In my opinion, even a million is too little!"

Xu Huizhen was calculating this money.

She was, of course, not satisfied with just a bit of bride price.

However, if she could get a million now, she was sure she could get more benefits in the future.

"Moreover, isn’t Ning Ning planning to open a restaurant in City B? Opening a restaurant, the whole process is very complicated, and you have to visit each department, complete all the paperwork. It takes a long time to get everything done," Xu Huizhen said.

"That doesn’t even count the restaurant’s renovation, opening promotions, and long-term development in City B. Compared to the long-term development in City B, the initial setup of the restaurant is just minor."

"As long as we have the Zhao Family, do we have to worry about networking for opening a restaurant? Plus, the Zhao Family is already in the catering business, if they are willing to help, we don’t know how many conveniences we can get," Xu Huizhen calculated.

Ye Ning nodded, "That’s right."

Unexpectedly, Xu Huizhen could even think of this point.

Ye Ning continued, "Including the Zhao Family’s supply channels, purchase prices, etc., the Zhao Family must have their own exclusive channels and preferential prices."

"If we latch onto the Zhao Family’s supply channels, not to mention anything else, just the promotion, mentioning that our family uses the same supply channels as the high-end restaurants under Changping, is already a great selling point."

"I did some research previously. The restaurants under Changping have exclusive supply channels. They only supply to their own Changping," Ye Ning said.
