How much does it cost to buy a car? This is a question worth thinking about. For a middle-class family, spending 10 to 20 million to buy fixed assets is already very good.
There are also wedding expenses to consider. Lu Songsong pays the majority of the expenses himself, but for small things, his parents still have to pay for them and receive relatives.
"Otherwise, I'll take a look and decide not to buy a car. I don't know how many people there are in my house. I think Bang Yuan likes to wear jewelry, so why don't I just buy it as jewelry."
Tao Fengqin mainly thinks that cars are not cost-effective. You said that if a car costing hundreds of thousands is not driven, why should you buy such an expensive one? If you don’t drive it for a few years, it will still depreciate in value.
Jewelry is still a good deal, buy something with investment value, and keep it for yourself when the time comes. And after all, she is a girl, not the same as a boy.
Lu Changjiang nodded. He didn't consider these things. He just paid for it. He gave Tao Fengqin a card with eight million in it.
He works as an engineer and makes a lot of money. He used to go to construction sites, but now he can make money by drawing drawings at home.
Although Tao Fengqin herself is a senior executive in a bank, her salary is still fixed. At most, she can get a little more money at one time, and the two of them are financially independent.
But Lu Changjiang raised his family, and Tao Fengqin had the final say with her own money, and Lu Changjiang didn't hide any money. Lu Songsong spent a lot of money on education and other investments.
Lu Changjiang sometimes does calculations and realizes that the cost of raising a Lu Songsong is really comparable to raising a litter of children at home. The value lies in quality, not quantity.
Zhou Bangyuan was satisfied with her meal and took out the things when she went home in the evening. There were too many people during the day and she didn't give out the things she prepared.
Tao Fengqin watched Zhou Bangyuan come over with a box. She probably knew what kind of jewelry it was. Looking at the box, she knew it was very valuable.
"Auntie, this is for you. I hope you are in good health. This is my grandma's belongings. I can't come here in person, so let me help with greetings."
It was so green. Looking at the jade bracelet, Tao Fengqin knew that it was different from the ones those girls at work bought for tens of thousands of dollars.
The one worth tens of thousands of yuan can be worn fresh, but this one is really not available. It is very expensive at first glance. It is a good thing. Once it catches the eye, the luster and color are different.
Zhou Bangyuan's bracelet is not an ordinary green one. Lu Changjiang introduced this kind of bracelet when he watched a treasure hunt show before, "This is a spring ribbon, I think it's a bit purple and yellow."
"Yes, uncle, this is indeed tricolor."
Lu Changjiang clicked his tongue, this shouldn't be tens of millions, so he would give it away as he said. For the first time, he sincerely took a look at this future daughter-in-law. She was so grand.
When husbands look at their daughters-in-law, they can actually get by just fine. There are very few who are really satisfied because they don’t have much contact with them, let alone appreciate them.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the father-in-law cannot intervene and will not consider the daughter-in-law's feelings.
Tao Fengqin watched Zhou Bangyuan put it on her, it was just the right size and not too small. Under the light, it looked good, and her hands looked very white and tender.
She looked at her hands and felt that she would no longer be able to wash dishes and cook. Whose hands were used to work from the beginning. After working in the kitchen for most of her life, Tao Fengqin suddenly realized.
"This is very valuable. Please put it away quickly. We also know your grandma's wishes and understand them."
Tao Fengqin took it down carefully. She actually wanted to ask Zhou Bangyuan how much it cost, but in order to save Lu Songsong's face, she resisted asking.
When Zhou Bangyuan gave something to her, she definitely didn't take it back. It was for her mother-in-law. Lu Songsong was the only son in the family, so she couldn't feel bad about it.
She got up immediately and said, "It's okay. Auntie just needs to wear it and it looks good. This thing also depends on fate. I have a fate with Auntie."
It sounds like there is a sense of fate in it. Jade is also very magical, and Tao Fengqin also believes in it.
Lu Songsong happened to see Tao Fengqin when he came out of the shower. Tao Fengqin's hand was always there, very imposing, and it blinded Lu Songsong.
Tao Fengqin raised her wrist and praised Zhou Bangyuan to Lu Songsong, "Grandma Bangyuan gave this to me. She is very considerate."
Lu Songsong swallowed his saliva and glanced at Zhou Bangyuan. At this moment, he felt very conscious. How could this little pearl be so smart?
Knowing that everyone in the company calls her dollars, Lu Songsong now feels that the dollar has dropped in value and this product should be called euros.
Euro had eaten and drank enough and had nothing to do. He was also tired, so he went to his room to sleep.
Tao Fengqin sat on the sofa and looked at the bracelet carefully, and even asked Lu Changjiang to look at it together. Everyone liked the good thing.
"I have to be careful in the future. Lao Lu, you will cook and wash the dishes from now on. I won't be able to do this job anymore. If you don't want to, just go out to eat."
"Mom, you can actually put this in a safe. What's the use of wearing it? It just looks good, but it breaks accidentally."
What Lu Songsong said was very realistic. Tao Fengqin would feel like he was cutting off his flesh if he touched her, but could you not be so unhappy?
Tao Fengqin didn't want to see her son's face now. Her daughter-in-law who hadn't entered the house knew how to bring her a bracelet, and it was so expensive.
This son has been raised to such a big age that he has never seen a single silver bracelet, let alone jade bracelets.
Now she felt a little disgusted with Lu Songsong, "It looks so good wearing it. You are a man and don't know how to talk. Do you know that a man's car is a woman's big diamond?"
I know, Lu Songsong crossed his legs. If you knew about the huge profits in the jewelry industry, you would never buy diamonds again.
Women who can't think of it like these things, they are flashy and flashy, and they will lose money if they buy them, but he still likes to do women's business, it is so profitable.
The next day on Monday, Tao Fengqin went to work. Although she was on the second line now, she still went to work and quit immediately after waiting.
As soon as I went out, I met my neighbor across the door, who was Wang Mengmeng's aunt. We had been neighbors for so many years, and I immediately noticed that there was something different about the other person.
She woke up very early today, and Tao Fengqin was tossing around with her outfits, everything from clothes to handbags to complement the bracelets on her hands.
I feel a little displeased when I look at my husband. I have been with him all my life and I have never gotten a jade bracelet. In the end, I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law gave it to me at home.
"I'm really sorry about the Mengmeng incident. I originally thought that I would invite you and Mengmeng to have dinner alone, but I didn't do it on purpose."
The neighbor nodded, knowing that it was not intentional, but she couldn't hold her breath. Wang Mengmeng told her on the phone yesterday that the woman was actually very average, and Wang Mengmeng was not inferior to her.
"It's okay. What's over is past. But when I have time, I'll take a look at your Miss Zhou and see what she's like. I'll take care of your son."
Aunt Wang Mengmeng was also unconvinced. She felt that her niece was the best, and Zhou Bangyuan probably couldn't compare to her, but she still took a look.
There is a feeling in it that I will be satisfied if your son is not as good as my niece.
"The bracelet on your hand is nice. I just bought it."
Speaking of this, Tao Fengqin couldn't help but feel happy. She wore it just to show off. It wasn't about the bracelet, it was about showing off her daughter-in-law.
"How could I buy something like this? It costs tens of millions. This was given to me by Bang Yuan. She said that my grandma at home must bring it to me so that we can move around together as relatives."
She just showed off, she said it calmly, but she was very happy in her heart. Look at how good her relationship is with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and look at how harmonious the people in her daughter-in-law's family are.
Aunt Wang Mengmeng's smile faded. It turns out that her family is so rich. How rich can she give her mother-in-law such a meeting gift to please her mother-in-law?
But he rolled his eyes and made a fuss at Tao Fengqin, "This looks very good. Many of them on the market are fake. They are made to look like the real ones. Even ordinary experts can't tell."
Middle-aged women at this age are really like plastic sisters. They are not very malicious, but they cannot make you feel too comfortable.
When you were young, you were better than your husband. Later, you were better than your son, your son-in-law, and then your daughter-in-law. This is all the motivation in life.
"Fortunately, I bought this one early. Bang Yuan said that this one was owned by her grandmother when she was young. Her family is engaged in art and luxury goods, so her family has a relatively strong financial background."
Looking at the neighbor's closed door, Tao Fengqin smiled slightly. She was completely victorious. Don't think that she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
After spending one day together, in her mind, Zhou Bangyuan was already the best candidate for her daughter-in-law.
When I go to work, I always have the image of a hard-working and simple lady. This dress, especially the bracelet on my hand, makes the little girl sensitive to this thief, so she has to ask questions.
Even the president praised it when he saw it, "This bracelet is pretty good."
"This is a gift from my future daughter-in-law, so I can be considered a blessing."
The president thought for a while and vaguely remembered that she did have a son in her family, but since she was developing in Hong Kong City, the specific situation was unclear.
"When are you going to get married? I'll give you a red envelope then."
This is what Tao Fengqin was waiting for. How much gift money has been given out over the years? The amount of money received must be considerable. Today I just want to inform everyone, so hurry up and give them red envelopes.
A few good friends will definitely send invitations later, but for ordinary relationships, gifts are also required, and she gave them all in the beginning.
When she got up early in the morning, Zhou Bangyuan hung up the phone with her eldest wife, "Grandma, it's very nice here. My uncles and aunts are very kind."
There was a lot of jabbering, and the eldest wife just listened to it. She was still thinking about it after not seeing her for a day. When she got up in the morning, she didn't see Zhou Bangyuan at dinner, and she felt empty.
Now that I'm fine, I hung up the phone with a smile on my face, and then I was going to give Zhou Bangyuan's mother a call as well, to let her know whether she was coming or not.
"Hey, it's me. I don't know if you have seen the news. Our Bang Yuan is getting married. Here, you should consider whether you want to attend."
Zhang Meiqing also knows the situation, but she really doesn't want to go back. She hasn't completely given up yet when she sees familiar people or something.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
The eldest wife sighed inwardly, feeling that it was not easy for her daughter-in-law, "It's okay, you don't have to be sorry. Bang Yuan also understands. She also hopes that you can live a happy life. It will be good if everyone knows that each other is good."
When Zhang Meiqing heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry. She hung up the phone and lay on the bed. She felt so hateful in her heart.
I hate Zhou Jiye. If he hadn't made things like this, she would have been a good person, not like a psychopath now.
She really wanted to attend her daughter's wedding, but she couldn't help it. She was afraid of meeting familiar people and being afraid that people would think of her as a poor first wife whose husband cheated on her.
Tao Fengqin took Zhou Bangyuan to buy jewelry. Didn't she agree to buy jewelry instead of a car, so she took Zhou Bangyuan to look at it together.
"Just tell Auntie what you like and don't worry about other things."
After thinking too much, Zhou Bangyuan didn't worry about this problem. She always had a great interest in jewelry stores, or shopping.
Tao Fengqin took them to the best jewelry store. The items in them were very expensive. They were all designed individually, not in batches, so they contained some designs and styles, so the prices were naturally beautiful.
After taking a look, Zhou Bangyuan didn't shop very carefully. Buying this requires good taste, "Auntie, I think this is very good. Will it look good if I wear it?"
Lu Changjiang also took a look. This is a ring. If the ring is expensive, it must be because the rough stone is more expensive. The quality must be good and the size must be large. It will look good no matter how you wear it.
He immediately took it out to try it on and put it on Zhou Bangyuan. Tao Fengqin thought it looked pretty good and bought it if she liked it. "How much does it cost?"
The shopping guide clicked the calculator and showed Tao Fengqin the numbers.
How much? Tao Fengqin felt that this little thing was really expensive. The shopping guide was still introducing it, how rare and precious it was, which country and pit the rough stone came from, and how valuable it was for collection.
Zhou Bangyuan feels that the price is a bit exaggerated. In fact, the market price is not that high, but this is the case in the jewelry industry.
