I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 494 The fairies can’t stand it anymore

Everyone in the world knows that the bride price in Laobiao Province is the most expensive, but within Laobiao Province, the difference in bride price between different regions is also very huge.

The general situation is that the north is expensive and the south is relatively cheaper, and the most expensive among them is Poyang.

As early as ten years ago, the bride price in Poyang had basically exceeded 60 yuan. Compared with the per capita income at that time, this number was really astronomical.

The key is the local custom. The betrothal gifts are given to the bride's parents and are basically not taken back for use by the small family.

Therefore, there has always been a saying that "Poyang women are as precious as gold" because they are really too expensive.

In the past few years, with the rapid rise of the economy of our province, the GDP and per capita income have skyrocketed, and the bride price in Poyang has exceeded one million, which is jaw-dropping.

So much so that in Poyang, if a family has two daughters, the locals will laugh and say that they won’t have to work for the rest of their lives and will have more than enough food to eat.

It's just so outrageous and so expensive!

Well, it’s the Chinese New Year period, and it’s the annual blind date peak season again.

At Chen Fang's home, Chen Fang is on a blind date with a local guy.

Chen Fang is now 31 years old and is considered an older leftover woman.

When I was in my 20s, I started dating a girl in college. After graduation, they wanted to get married. However, when the man heard that Chen Fang's family wanted a dowry of 66 yuan, he was shocked and quickly broke up with Chen Fang.

After that, Chen Fang was depressed for several years. By the time she was 28 or 29 and went on blind dates, the local bride price had risen to over a million, and those who could afford that money looked down on Chen Fang.

After all, although Chen Fang went to college, her looks, height and job were average, and there was nothing particularly attractive about her.

The key is that Chen Fang herself is conceited and thinks she is a little fairy. In addition, the local bride price has always been expensive, so as long as you are a woman, you will have no worries about not being able to get married. Even if you are short and ugly, you can ask for a bride price of 500,000 or 600,000.

Chen Fang felt that she was well-educated because of her education, and after learning the techniques of makeup, beauty photography, and photo editing, she felt that she looked like a fairy in the photos she took.

She doesn't even look at ordinary boys.

Two years ago, someone introduced her to a local civil servant. The guy was not very good-looking, but he had a good personality and did a good job.

Chen Fang simply didn't like the other person, thinking that he was too ordinary looking and not worthy of her.

Someone also introduced her to a tall and good-looking young man, but she felt that the other party had a bad job and his income was less than ten thousand yuan, and she would definitely not have a good life after marrying him.

This delay lasted until he was 31 years old.

But she is still not in a hurry at all. She eats delicious food every day, travels around, takes photos, posts on WeChat Moments, etc. She still feels that she is still an 18-year-old fairy.

"I am 33 years old, born in the Year of the Goat, and have a bachelor's degree. I currently work in a virtual world company and earn about 1 yuan a month."

Ke Liang introduced himself with a smile.

Looking at Chen Fang opposite, she didn't seem to take this blind date seriously. She just lowered her head and played the virtual world by herself, and didn't even seem to look at herself.

This made Ke Liang feel very embarrassed. If his parents and the matchmaker were not still here, he would have left immediately.

To be honest, Chen Fang had neither good looks nor a good figure. He was not satisfied with her at first sight. Now he was just giving face to the matchmaker and both parents.

After all, the matchmaker is a relative of ours, so we can't embarrass him too much.

"Sisters, please help me take a look."

"What kind of ugly person is this? He is less than 1.5 meters tall and looks disabled. His salary is only 33 yuan. He is already years old and only gets this salary, which shows that he is not capable enough."

"It's true. The people introduced are getting worse and worse."

Chen Fang complained in a chat group in the virtual world. She secretly told others about Ke Liang's photo and situation. Immediately, the group named 'The Back Garden of Little Fairies' started to explode.

"At 33, earning only 1.5 yuan a month is the equivalent of being a loser. Now, if you earn less than 3 yuan a month, you are a loser."

"That's right, that's right. And with a height of less than 5 meters, he is disabled. And for his looks, I would give him points at most."

"5 is too high. I'll only give you 4 at most. Fangfang, you are a -point-looking fairy. You can't marry such a rubbish man."

"That's right, that's right. It's better to be single with high quality than to settle for someone who is not your type. Marrying the wrong person will ruin your life."

"Sisters, I'm also on a blind date. My blind date is only 179cm tall. I'm 155cm tall, and I'm 163cm tall when I put on high heels. When I take photos, I'm about 168cm tall. It's obviously not good enough for me, but he looks okay. I'm a little attracted to him. What should I do?"

"If you are less than 1.8 meters tall, you are disabled. Don't marry a disabled person. Besides, she is not good-looking either."

“How’s the work, how’s the income?”

"My job is a virtual world engineer, and my annual salary is over 40, which I think is okay."

"It's only 40 yuan a year, it's nothing special. I dumped my ex-boyfriend who made a million yuan a year. There are so many virtual world companies now, and I don't know how many young people like this are making hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"That's right, sister, clear your mind a little."

"Sisters, I'm so pissed off. My boyfriend and I have been at odds for only half a year, and now he's married to a Japanese woman. He's such a scumbag. I haven't even officially broken up with him, but he's already married another woman. He's such a scumbag."

"Don't be sad, sister. This kind of scumbag is not worth it. You have only broken up for half a year. No, you have only ignored him for half a year, and he went to find another woman. This shows that he doesn't have you in his heart at all. If he did have you, he should have remained chaste for you even for ten or eight years."

"That's right, that's right, this kind of guy is a scumbag. It's only been half a year, and you only dated two foreigners and broke up, but he actually got married directly. He is such a scumbag."

"Everyone please stop talking, I'm so sad. Actually he was a nice guy, but now he ignores me. I'm crying!"

"Don't be sad. It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are two-legged men everywhere. Now there are virtual worlds and virtual machines. You can find a boyfriend all over the world. You can find anyone you want."

"Yes, yes. I have found a European boyfriend now. He is tall, handsome, and most importantly, very romantic and can make people happy."

"Forget it, foreign men are even worse. I just found out that my boyfriend was dating four women at the same time behind my back. When I went to him, he said that this was his belief. He wanted me to respect his belief and be willing to accept other women to marry him. I was so angry that I slapped him directly."

"My ex-boyfriend is also a scumbag. We have been dating for several years, but he just refuses to marry me. Moreover, he has no house or aircraft, and only earns 2000 euros a month. The most important thing is that he doesn't make any progress and thinks 2000 euros is already very good."

"2000 Euros is only 2000 Rabbit Gold. Even street sweepers in our country earn more than him. He keeps asking me for money when he runs out of money. He also often borrows my aircraft to travel and have fun everywhere. He just doesn't make progress and doesn't work hard."

"More than 2000 a month? Why do you keep someone like this? If you really get married and have children, will you be able to support the family?"

"Yes, yes."

"There's nothing we can do. Foreigners generally earn less. Even in Europe, they only make around 2,000 to 3,000 Euros. It's much lower than what we earn in China. In underdeveloped regions like Asia, Africa, and Latin America, many people only earn 200 to 300 Euros a month."

"That's right. My ex-boyfriend is from Africa. He only earns 300 gold a month. He also lied to me that he was a prince and had so many cows and camels at home."

"He ended up asking me for money every day, which pissed me off so much that I blocked him after just one month of dating."

"In terms of income, the income in our country is still higher. Now it is common to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month."

"A monthly income of over 10,000 yuan is basically equivalent to being disabled. However, for overseas, the standard can be appropriately lowered, but 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a month is really too little, not even enough to buy cosmetics."

"That's right, that's right. There are many men abroad who use sweet words to deceive us. Once you are deceived by them, they will ask you to borrow money and ask you to help buy various things to defraud you of money and sex. If you marry them, you are doomed. They will find ways to hide your shield identity and prevent you from coming back. They will also occupy your aircraft and so on."

"It's so scary, is it fake?"

"What's fake? They are all real. Many sisters have been deceived. Many places abroad are actually very scary and unsafe. There are even dating and marriage fraud gangs that specifically target sisters in China."

"Not long ago, a woman who was in love married to Africa and had a child there, but she couldn't come back because according to local laws, she couldn't leave the area if there was no one to take care of her child. Her parents and relatives and friends tried every possible way to find someone to negotiate with the other party, and finally paid more than 100 million to redeem her!"

"Oh my god, this is too scary!"

"It's not just scary, it's like a nightmare."

"Many foreigners are very chauvinistic. One married a woman from abroad. Her husband only earned about 500 yuan a month. After marrying this sister, he just lay around at home and didn't work. He wanted the sister to support him every day."

"I buy him alcohol, cigarettes, food, and entertainment every day. If I don't pay him, he will beat me up. The key is that everyone around him thinks that this is how a man should be."

"How terrible, how terrible!"

"So, sisters, if you want to find a foreign boyfriend, it's okay to have some fun, but if you want to get married, you must investigate the other person's true situation and don't jump into the fire pit."

Chen Fang was very engaged in chatting with a group of sisters in the group, and didn't care at all that she was kissing Ke Liang.

"Old Chen, I think these two young people are quite a good match. How about we settle it? You tell me the amount of the betrothal gift."

The matchmaker was naturally trying to bring the two parties together with a smile. The matchmaker was related to both parties and thought that the two young people were a good match, so he came to make the connection.

"The betrothal gift must be at least 88 yuan. There is no negotiation for less than this amount."

Chen Fang's father, Chen Zhishu, said very firmly that because his eldest son had spent more than 800,000 yuan on the bride price to marry his wife, it was natural for him to get the bride price back if he had a daughter.

"88 yuan for the bride price?"

"Old Chen, this is not the same as a few years ago. Isn't this too expensive?"

When the matchmaker heard this, he immediately frowned.

The local dowry has always been very expensive, even breaking the one million mark a few years ago. But in recent years, many locals have married foreign wives, not only without spending a penny, but many of them also bring dowries with them.

As a result, a large number of single men who were unable to find wives before have married foreign girls, which has led to a lot fewer people going on blind dates. Especially those who were unable to find wives before have now basically married foreign girls and no longer need to go on blind dates.

Many of those who need blind dates are young people. They have no trouble finding a wife, so they are more picky and are rather averse to dowries.

As a result, the bride price has begun to decline in recent years, and the decline has become more and more severe.

"I know it wasn't a few years ago. If it was a few years ago, it would have cost at least 100 million."

Chen Zhishu said bluntly.

"Uncle Chen, this betrothal gift is too expensive. We really can't afford it."

"We'll take our leave now. Sorry for disturbing you!"

When Ke Liang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He just found a reason to leave quickly. It would be a waste of time to stay here any longer. He didn't fancy Chen Fang.

After saying this, Ke Liang took his parents and the middleman and left Chen Fang's house.

"This old Chen, what era is this, and he still wants 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. This is too expensive."

"That's right. We can't change our local customs. 88 yuan is enough to buy ten foreign wives."

"Ke Liang, you should go abroad and find a foreign girlfriend. It won't cost much."

"That's what I planned to do."

"Look, when we were on a blind date just now, she didn't even look me in the eye. If nothing else, this alone shows that she has no manners and doesn't know how to respect others."

"And to be honest, I don't fancy her at all."

"What's more, her family has 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. I must be crazy to agree to give 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. With this amount of money, I can find any girlfriend I want."

Ke Liang left with his parents and the matchmaker, and they continued discussing along the way.

On the Chen family's side.

Chen Zhishu looked at Ke Liang's family as they left, and actually wanted to go up and say, "We can still discuss the betrothal gift."

But he held back because he had to get back the betrothal money he had spent on his son's marriage from his daughter's wedding.

But he also knows that there are fewer and fewer people introducing blind dates.

In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year, the threshold of my house would be trampled down by people. There were so many young men coming to me for blind dates that I would meet several in a single day.

But in recent years, the number of people introduced has become fewer and fewer. So far this year, only a young man named Ke Liang has come for a blind date.

He also knew the local situation. Many people now married foreign wives, and foreign girls from all over the world could be seen everywhere in the town.

If his daughter doesn't get married now, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future, especially when he is still thinking about asking for a high bride price.

Here, Chen Fang also noticed that Ke Liang and others had left.

So she pouted and said in the group: "Sisters, this person left immediately after hearing about the 88 yuan betrothal gift. He is really trash and waste. He can't even take out the 88 yuan betrothal gift. His whole family is trash."

"In Poyang, the price of betrothal gifts used to be over 100 million yuan in the past few years, but now it's only 88 yuan, which is shocking."

"Wow, wow, the betrothal gifts in your area are really high. If I really want to marry here, I'd sell myself. A betrothal gift of 88 is enough to live on for several years."

"This bride price is really high, but it's as it should be. Only a high bride price can make men not dare to divorce easily because they can't afford it. Only such a bride price can make women respect us."

"Yes, yes, that's how the bride price should be. Otherwise, those men won't cherish you after marrying you."

"Unfortunately, the betrothal gift here is very low, just 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

"The betrothal gifts here are also very low. I really want to marry you. 88 betrothal gifts, this is the rhythm of getting rich."

"This kind of person is not worth marrying. He can't even afford the 88 yuan betrothal gift. I'm scared. Why would I marry him?"

"These men just want to marry a wife without spending any money."

"That's right, you must not lower the bride price. It must be 88. If you can't afford it, don't marry a wife."

The fairies kept discussing one by one.

Chen Fang was not in a hurry either, but her parents were really anxious.

Because during this Chinese New Year, apart from Ke Liang coming for a blind date once, no one else introduced anyone else or came for a blind date.

Chen Zhishu was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say that his daughter was about to get married, so he hurried over to take a look.

As the New Year holiday days passed, until the sixth or seventh day of the New Year, still no one came to go on a blind date.

Chen Zhishu was dumbfounded. The more he thought about it, the more he asked someone to find out who was willing to give a huge dowry when they went on blind dates last year and the year before.

I want to see if the other party is not married yet, so I can marry my daughter off quickly so that I can get a huge amount of betrothal money back.

As a result, I found out that all the young men who came to me for blind dates before are married. Many of them married foreign wives. They didn’t spend a penny on betrothal gifts, and the women even gave a lot of dowry. Now they even have children.

This made Chen Zhishu feel uneasy, so he asked a matchmaker to pass a message to Ke Liang's family, saying that the bride price could be negotiated and that 500,000 or 600,000 yuan would be enough.

As a result, the matchmaker said that Ke Liang didn't like Chen Fang at all and didn't want any dowry.

This made Chen Zhishu very angry, and he shouted that he didn't believe that his daughter couldn't get married.

I went home and asked my relatives and friends to introduce me to some suitable guys, but all my responses fell on deaf ears.

There are fewer and fewer unmarried young men nowadays, and the young ones don’t like Chen Fang, so there has never been any news about her.

Chen Zhishu was furious.

No one came to go on a blind date until after the Chinese New Year.

But now with anti-gravity aircraft, travel is very convenient, and everyone likes to stay at home, so even blind dates and marriages are more common than before.

Just like during the Chinese New Year period, no one tried to find a partner for Chen Fang, and even when her parents asked people for help in finding one, nothing came of it.

It seemed that Chen Fang was having trouble getting married.

Chen Zhishu became anxious, and naturally he didn't have a good face towards Chen Fang.

Seeing Chen Fang coming home and doing nothing, being so lazy, he naturally started to scold her.

"All day long, I'm as lazy as a pig. I can't do anything, such as washing clothes or cooking."

"Look at you. You will be 32 years old after the Chinese New Year. Your cousin is the same age as you and her child is already in elementary school."

"When you were dating a few years ago, I told you to stop being picky and just marry someone who was just about the same, but you just wouldn't listen, saying this one was not good, that one was not good."

"Don't you look at yourself and see how good you are?"

"Now you don't even have anyone to introduce you to. I wonder if you still want to get married, or are you prepared to be single for the rest of your life."

"It's fine if you embarrass yourself, but don't embarrass me with it."

"You know what? Now everyone is making fun of our family, saying that our daughters can't get married. It's really infuriating to hear that."

"You are in your thirties now. You are not an eighteen-year-old girl anymore. You should be clear-headed and sober."

"I should have known that I shouldn't have sent you to college. You've become stupid now."

Chen Fang felt very aggrieved when listening to what her parents said.

I just have higher requirements and a taller vision.

Besides, everyone on the Internet says that one should be cautious and careful when getting married and should choose the best one. What's wrong with me?

Who doesn’t want to marry someone who is rich, handsome, comes from a good family, treats you well, can do laundry and cook, and has a good job?
There is nothing wrong with me. The only problem is that these men are not motivated and cannot meet my requirements.

If there was someone who met my requirements, I would have married her long ago.

Besides, it’s said on the Internet that men have tens of millions more than women, so women will never have trouble finding a husband.

Chen Fang shared her experience in the group with a feeling of grievance.

"Just because no one came to the blind date, no one introduced me to a date, my parents scolded me half to death. They are not doing it for the money of the betrothal gift, and it is not for my own good at all. If they really want to do it for my own good, they should support me to marry a good husband."

"That's right, that's right. Your parents are actually just after the betrothal money. After all, your place is too high and you can't get it back."

"Oh, don't mention it. There are indeed fewer people going on blind dates now. No one came to my house for a blind date during the Chinese New Year. Think about it, I'm already 36 years old."

"I don't know what's going on, it really seems like there's no one left, and no one came to go on a blind date with me during the Chinese New Year."

"It's all because of those foreign women. These shameless people come to our country to snatch people. It is said that tens of millions of foreign women have married into our country in the past few years."

"Those foreign women are really cheap. They don't ask for dowry, hardware, houses, or aircraft. The key is that they are very fertile. The population has increased dramatically in recent years, all of which are caused by these foreign women who married into the country."

"They are so cheap. They don't want anything for marriage. The men are also cheap. Don't they know that the best ones are from their own country?"

"That's right, that's right. We're all so hungry that we won't be picky about food. A woman will do."

"But there really is no one interested in blind dates now. The blind date corners in the city are all filled with women, not even a man."

"It's the same in the countryside. Many bachelors in their 30s and 40s have married foreign women. They are really not picky and marry old men."

"Oh, what should I do? I'm already 37 years old, and I'll be 40 in a few years. I don't know if I can still have children. To be honest, I want to get married. If I don't get married, I won't be able to have children."

"Me too. I'm already 36 years old, but no one even asked me about it during the Chinese New Year. I don't even know where all the people who came to meet me in the past have gone."

"Sisters, don't settle for less. You must be very selective. Marrying the wrong person will ruin your life."

"That being said, I will soon be 40 years old. I was not anxious before, but now I don't even have anyone to introduce me to. It's hard not to be anxious."

"Yes, no one asked me during the Chinese New Year, and my parents disliked me very much, saying that I was too old to get married and it was embarrassing for them."

"During the Chinese New Year, I contacted my ex-boyfriend. It's only been two years, but he already has a child and is now a senior executive of a company, earning more than one million yuan a year. I should have married him earlier."

"Me too. My ex-boyfriend used to be an ordinary person, but now he has his own company. It is said that he made tens of millions last year. If I had known this, I would have married him."
