Chapter 1701: Miss Nice Girl (64)
It was unbelievable that they only gave their daughter six hundred yuan a month for living expenses during university.
If the original host hadn't been such a hardworking and resilient girl, surviving in that city on six hundred yuan would have been nearly impossible.
Left with no other choice, Li Meixue could only ask the matchmaker to continue introducing men to Tang Guo.
There were even some things Tang Guo had said that she found quite reasonable.
Those men had all refused to date her daughter because of Xiaokun's situation. Clearly, they looked down on their family.
If they were unwilling now, then after marriage they would be even less willing.
Without realizing it, Li Meixue had already been led astray by Tang Guo.
The things Tang Guo said were simply too tempting.
How wonderful it would be if they didn't have to spend a single cent and could rely on their daughter's marriage to get Tang Xiaokun a house.
She wasn't greedy. She didn't ask for some grand villa. As long as Tang Xiaokun could have a three-bedroom apartment in the city center of the provincial capital, she guaranteed she would marry her daughter off to that man.
But her imagination was far too beautiful.
With Tang Guo involved, this matter was destined to fail.
Anyone who opened their mouth and demanded a house for their younger brother would never make people believe that one house alone would be enough.
Who knew whether they would be marrying a wife or marrying a spendthrift whose heart completely favored her natal family?
If they accidentally emptied out the family fortune to subsidize her parents' side, then they'd truly be unlucky.
Over the next few days, Tang Guo met several more blind dates.
Every single man had a favorable first impression of her, but the moment she mentioned buying a house for her younger brother, they all retreated. Not one of them considered continuing.
"Meixue, if this keeps up, Xiaoguo is going to have a hard time finding a husband," Tang Chenghai said. At first, he had been very hopeful that Tang Guo could find someone willing to buy a house for Tang Xiaokun.
After all, wherever Tang Guo went, people praised how beautiful their daughter was.
With her looks, she was definitely going to marry a rich boss someday.
In their eyes, rich bosses were loaded with money. Buying a house for Xiaokun should be the natural thing to do.
They had worked so hard raising their daughter. They couldn't just let her marry someone for nothing.
Li Meixue also felt troubled. "Then what do you think we should do?"
"How about lowering the requirements a bit?" Tang Chenghai suggested. "Forget demanding a newlywed home. As long as he buys Xiaokun a house, we'll marry our daughter to him."
"What about the bride price?" Li Meixue asked.
Tang Chenghai said, "Forget the bride price. A house isn't cheap either, especially in the provincial capital."
Li Meixue thought it sounded acceptable.
So the next day, she went to discuss it with Tang Guo.
"Fine. As long as Xiaokun gets a house, I don't care about anything else. Mom, let's do it this way."
When she met her next blind date, Tang Guo stated her conditions.
"I don't require you to have a marital home, and I don't want any bride price."
The man sitting across from her looked stunned. After recovering, he quickly said, "I never expected there would still be girls like Miss Tang nowadays. Actually, I also hate the whole bride price thing, and the demand that a house must be bought before marriage."
"Isn't that basically selling yourself to the man's family? Even if the marriage succeeds after asking for all those things, it will only affect the relationship between husband and wife in the future. Even if they do get married, it won't last."
System: Not a shred of survival instinct. No wonder he's just a nameless extra.
Tang Guo continued, "I don't want those things, but I do have another condition."
"Please go ahead, Miss Tang. I'll definitely fulfill it."
"Good, then I won't stand on ceremony." Tang Guo wore a serious expression. "Before marriage, buy my younger brother Xiaokun a three-bedroom apartment in the city center of the provincial capital, and then we'll get married."
