A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 856 The Horrifying Amount of Dowry

The villagers of Pingluo Village were all stunned when they heard this.

As Sixth Uncle walked among the crowd, he earnestly advised them:
"Fifty million a year, that's no small sum. Even in Hong Kong, that's top-tier earning power; not just anyone can get that. Do you think capitalists are philanthropists?"

Tell me, everyone, with such a high income, if you forced Ayi to quit her job and break up with her boyfriend just like that, would you be willing to do it if it were your daughter?

Suddenly, the people in the ancestral hall started discussing again, saying all sorts of things.

Only Grandpa Yin squinted, his gaze towards Sixth Uncle was cold and distant.

Sixth Uncle wasn't afraid of the clan chief at all. As the representative of the Hong Kong branch, his authority within the clan was unmatched.

"Everyone should put themselves in others' shoes when doing things and speaking. Think about it again, the young man from the Lin family has already shown goodwill."

Providing free meals and drinks to the elderly in Pingluo Village and paying tuition fees for impoverished students—even our ancestral hall hasn't fully accomplished these two things. Isn't it enough that he, an outsider, has done this much?

Times have changed. It's 2016 now. Don't try to control your people with the mentality of "I'm the king of heaven, I'm second to none."

The younger generation is educated and has seen the world; they won't submit as easily as before.

Suddenly, Uncle Liu's tone changed:
"Therefore, I think that our Yin family women can marry into the Lin family, but we can make our demands, which is that the wedding must be grand and extravagant."

Isn't the Lin family rich? You think they only have a few billion? As far as I know, it's not impossible for them to have tens of billions. They're not short of money.

If you want to marry one of our Ping Le girls, then have a grand and spectacular wedding, preferably one that will cause a sensation in Huadu, so that everyone knows:

It was the Lin family of Shilou who came to ask us to marry off our daughter, not the women of Pingle who forced the marriage on them. Our Pingle village is the one with the high status.

This way, we'll save face and save face. Ayi can have a grand wedding, and the Yin family will gain prestige in front of everyone. It's a win-win situation. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?

Wow~~~
Many people in the ancestral hall applauded, all thinking that this was a good idea, and even implying that it was superior to Shilou Village.

If you want to marry a woman from Ping Le, then you should greet her with the highest honors and hold the most extravagant wedding in the country, so that everyone can see how precious a woman from Ping Le is.

This move could even drive up prices.

In the future, when other women from Pingluo marry out, the ceremonies cannot be simplified; this will benefit everyone.

People are selfish; they'll naturally tend to agree to anything that benefits them.

At this moment, Sixth Uncle looked at Yin Shengrong at the entrance of the ancestral hall and asked:

"Rongzai, do you think what Uncle Liu said makes sense?"

Yin Shengrong, of course, strongly agreed. The more prestigious his daughter's marriage, the more face he, as her father-in-law, would have.

"Good, good, Sixth Uncle, I agree with your opinion, I completely agree. If the young man from the Lin family wants to marry Ayi, he must show some attitude to satisfy the Yin clan!"

"Good~~~ Well said~~~"

Upon hearing this, even those who had previously opposed it felt that this method was quite satisfying and would save face.

Sixth Uncle then looked at the clan head, Yin Jishui:

"Brother, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Yin Jishui knew that his cousin intended to force him to abdicate; who wouldn't want to be the clan leader?

But it would be best if he agreed today, otherwise he has no choice.

Yin Shengrong was already difficult to deal with, but now that Sixth Uncle has appeared, we need to be even more careful.

If even overseas Hong Kong clansmen favor Yin Shengrong of the Xinfengfang branch, then they have definitely become the majority, while he, the clan leader, is actually in the minority.

But as the current clan leader, how could he possibly admit defeat so easily?
Grandpa Yin thought to himself, "Since the Lin family is using money to win people's hearts, then I'll make them lose money. Doesn't the Lin family claim to have billions? Let's see if you're just bragging."

Thinking of this, Uncle Yin suddenly sat up straight, his previous coldness vanishing, and said:

"If you want my consent as the clan leader, that's fine, but I have three conditions."

When Grandpa Yin said this, everyone fell silent, but they all knew that this condition would probably be difficult for them.

Then Yin Agong straightened his clothes, gripped his cane tightly again, stood up, and walked among the human race, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Last May, a celebrity couple got married in China. One of them is from Qingdao and the other is from Hong Kong. You should all have heard about this.

They publicly stated that the wedding cost a total of 2 million RMB.

Two actors can spend 2 million yuan on their weddings, so now the owner of Lingnan Hall is getting married, and he's marrying a woman from Ping Le. It definitely can't be too shabby.

If we can't even compare to two actors, what about the reputation of our Pingluo Village? Where does the pride of the Lin family, those billionaires, stand?

So my first requirement is that I can agree to this marriage, but the wedding budget cannot be less than 300 million yuan; my second requirement is that the betrothal gifts cannot be less than 88.88 million yuan. This money is for Ayi, not because my grandfather is greedy.

My last request is that the Lin family provide a set of rosewood living room chairs for our Yin family ancestral hall.

"If it's on the same scale as their Lin family ancestral hall, it should at least have a four-clawed golden dragon; even one claw less won't do. Wouldn't that make our Yin family look inferior to the Lin family?"

Boom~~~
The moment the three demands were uttered, everyone was truly shocked.

A wedding with a dowry of nearly 90 million yuan? That must have broken the record for dowries in Huadu District!

Not to mention the 3 million yuan wedding expenses, do you think Ping Le girl is a princess getting married?
What stunned everyone the most was that Grandpa actually wanted a set of four-clawed golden dragon furniture. It is said that even the Palace Museum doesn't have many sets of this anymore, and it's no longer something you can buy with money.

If these three conditions are met, the value will far exceed 10 billion.

The members of the Yin clan covered their mouths in shock, thinking that the clan elder was truly ruthless when he wanted to be.

Is the woman from Ping Le adorned with diamonds? And her wedding cost over 10 billion yuan?
I reckon any man with a sound mind wouldn't agree to that.

But then, all the clansmen with daughters stood up one by one and shouted excitedly:

"Grandpa is right. If he wants to marry a girl from Pingluo, this dowry is reasonable!"

"That's right, we Ping Le women are from respectable families, are we really inferior to an actress?"

One after another, clansmen stepped forward, strongly supporting their grandfather, instantly igniting the ancestral hall. Everyone was excitedly discussing, admiring, and gossiping.

These people who strongly support this are actually driven by strong self-interest.

People in Huadu like to have children, often several in a lifetime, so who doesn't have one or two daughters?

If the Lin family really agrees to this outrageous request, then the women of Ping Le will soar to new heights, and all the daughters of Ping Le Village will become twice as valuable in the future.

If the betrothal gift is 88 million today, would it be too much to ask for 8 million tomorrow?
If you really think it's too much, 800,000 is fine too. In short, the market price has already increased, so you have to show your sincerity. This is as terrifying as the people from Jiangxi.

When Grandpa Yin saw that his trick of sowing discord had won over most of the clansmen, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

It would be best if the Lin family didn't agree, then he, as the clan leader, could launch a counterattack.

Your Lin family of Shilou claims to have billions in assets, yet you refuse to contribute even 10 billion. Where is your sincerity? Where is your earnestness? You don't genuinely want to marry the woman from Ping Le.

I won't allow you two to get married!
At this moment, all six brothers, including Yin Shengrong, were sweating profusely.

Just kidding, the idea of ​​"rich villages in Guangdong" is just a joke on the internet. If everyone in the village was a billionaire, who would want to live in a village where even fire trucks can't get out of the house?
Spending a few million on a wedding is already considered luxurious, but Uncle Yin's conditions are over 10 billion, or even 20 billion.

Yin Shengrong was thinking to himself that if his youngest son wanted to get married in the future and asked him for so much money as a dowry, he would definitely break his son's legs.

Grandpa Yin asked expressionlessly:
"Shengrong, what do you think? Whether you agree to Grandpa's conditions or not is up to you. Don't blame Grandpa for being unreasonable later."

At this point, public opinion had reversed, and the six Yin brothers were put on the defensive.

The Yin family was in turmoil at a critical moment, and even the grandfather could not control them.

However, similarly, the people in Xinfengfangxin, where Yin Shengrong works, are not necessarily united; it mainly depends on interests.

Yin Shengrong was already in a precarious position. He thought to himself, "No way the Lin family would agree. With this money, I could marry 1000 Yue Nan wives."

"Grandpa, I understand. I will discuss these three conditions with the young man from the Lin family."

Yin Shengrong thought that if the Lin family was unwilling to be taken advantage of and pay so much money, the six brothers would pool their resources and raise 100 million yuan to compensate Lin Sanqi.

Whether they were full at one meal or full at another, the six brothers could still distinguish clearly.

One hundred million can be earned back in less than a year.

But to everyone's surprise, Grandpa Yin didn't give Yin Shengrong a chance to cheat. He glanced at his watch and said:
“It’s only 9 p.m., young people don’t go to bed this early. In front of all the clansmen, you call the young man from the Lin family right now and let all the members of the Yin clan hear the sincerity of the Lin family.”

"Grandpa is right~~~"

"Yes, we'll all be witnesses~~~"

"With so much money, they wouldn't refuse such a small amount, would they?"

Ordinary people are always blindly obedient, like reeds in the wind. Some do it because it involves their own interests, while others just want to watch the show and not mind the trouble.

Yin Shengrong knew he had to get through this hurdle. At this point, the gambling instinct of a southerner kicked in, and he bet that his son-in-law would be willing to spend money for his daughter.

The phone was dialed, beep beep beep... (End of Chapter)
