Chapter 233 Making a Decision

"Big brother, Chen Jinlan is asking for too much, it's unreasonable. I've told Lijuan, I'm okay with the one hundred yuan dowry, sewing machine, and watches that she demanded, but I cannot afford the rest. If she's willing to marry me then let it be. If she's not, I won't blame her."

Based on Chen Jinlan's dowry requirements, it would be hard for Zhang Lijuan to get married in any nearby villages. If a groom can afford three key things, it is generally considered a lavish wedding. But Chen Jinlan even wants a black and white TV, which costs hundreds of yuan. The average household cannot afford that. Besides, having a TV at home is not practical, no one has time to sit at home and watch TV every day.

If Zhang Lijuan is willing to marry him, he will not treat her poorly in the future. He has a bicycle at home that was left by his older brother and it's still in decent shape, so there's no need to buy a new one.
