For example, those who wanted to marry off a daughter would need a lot of betrothal gifts, and the betrothal gifts were beyond what the groom could afford. In the end, the marriage would fall through.
Of course, betrothal gifts had existed since ancient times, but marrying a daughter wasn't like selling a daughter. It was enough to ask for some betrothal gifts, unless the man's family was willing to pay.
Of course, some men also wanted to marry a wife without spending money, so they were criticized for selling their daughter if they asked for some betrothal gifts.
Anyway, this world was big, and there were all kinds of people. It was best if they were willing to marry someone.
"My family doesn't have the idea of marriage for power or business, but they still hope that I can find a family with a similar family background. They said that it's easy to have conflicts with each other if the family background is too different," Zhang Zichen said.
"It's true that it's easy to have conflicts with each other if the family background is too different, especially when the woman is stronger than the man. Most men have strong self-esteem, so they are generally unwilling to marry a woman whose family background is much better than theirs, because they will feel inferior. Even if these men are willing to marry you because of money or temporary love, if they can't become better, it's easy for them to be psychologically distorted in the process of life and do something to betray you. Of course, there are also good men, but they are too rare in this realistic society. Before it happens, you will never know what kind of person he is, "Gu Ning said.
In this society, there were more people who cared about family background than those who didn't, so many things couldn't be idealized. It had to be more realistic.
For example, after she got together with Leng Shaoting and learned about Leng Shaoting's identity, she asked Leng Shaoting whether his family would object to it, because she also had her self-esteem and didn't want to be looked down upon.
Of course, her self-esteem was directly proportional to her ambition. Since she didn't want to be looked down upon, she would certainly improve her life value.
Of course, if Leng Shaoting's family didn't think highly of her, she didn't care. She only cared about Leng Shaoting's attitude.
If Family Leng despised her and disagreed with them being together, as long as Leng Shaoting protected her and insisted on being with her, she wouldn't care about Family Leng's attitude and be with Leng Shaoting.
As for those who despised her, she would just treat them as strangers.
However, if Leng Shaoting hesitated for a second, she would turn around and leave without hesitation, which was also because of her strong self-esteem.
"I have a feeling that! Men are more pretentious than women nowadays. I've met them. As for women, once they fall in love with a man, most of them don't care about his family background, but what about men? They don't need the woman's family background to be better than his, but they can't be worse than him. In addition, they have all kinds of requirements for the woman. They hope that she can take care of the family, make money, give birth to children and take care of their in-laws. It's not like they are marrying a wife, but finding a paid senior nanny. Last week, one of my uncles got divorced. My uncle disliked my aunt for working at home and neglecting the family. However, when my aunt gave birth to a child, she didn't go to work, but managed the family well. My uncle also disliked my aunt for not going to work all day long. He said that he was too tired to work alone. Men can't be satisfied! My aunt couldn't stand it anymore and filed for divorce. She left with nothing and only wanted the child. " Zhang Zichen said. She also thought that her uncle was too unreasonable. When she heard about it, she even scolded him!
However, she only complained about it in her own home. No matter how bad her uncle was, it was his own business. She didn't have the right to scold him in front of his face.
Her mother directly scolded her uncle, but her uncle still thought that he didn't do anything wrong. After that, her mother left him alone.
Just two days ago, her uncle called her mother and asked her for help, but her mother directly rejected him.
Although they were cousins, her mother didn't want to get close to her cousin because he wasn't a good man.
"I hope that we can all meet a good man. Nobody is perfect, and he doesn't need to be perfect. At least he has a good moral character and knows how to be considerate and take good care of his wife. A kind man is rare! "Song Miaoge also sighed after hearing that. She was really worried that she would meet a bad man.
After the meal, they didn't go anywhere else, but went back home. It was still early, so Gu Ning didn't walk them home, because it was still early. It wasn't dangerous.
However, some accidents happen when you think it's impossible.
Gu Ning watched them leave in a taxi before she left.
10 minutes later, Gu Ning received a call from Zhang Zichen, but she didn't talk with Gu Ning on the phone. Instead, she heard Zhang Zichen talking with the chauffeur.
"Sir, I think you're going the wrong way. I don't remember it being this way, "Zhang Zichen said. She sounded calm, but Gu Ning could still tell that she was nervous.
Hearing that, Gu Ning felt that something was wrong, so she told Gao Yi to turn around and chase after Zhang Zikai. She then continued to listen to the sound from her phone.
"There's a lot of traffic ahead, so it's faster to go this way," the chauffeur said.
Zhang Zikai was born in the capital, so she wasn't very familiar with the capital, but she often went to places that led to her home in the downtown area, so she certainly knew the way home.
Therefore, she clearly knew that this road didn't lead to her home, so she had a feeling that she might be kidnapped.
"Oh! Fine. " Zhang Zichen didn't ask further, then she hung up the phone and shared the location with Gu Ning on WeChat.
Zhang Zikai was so nervous and scared that her body was trembling, but she forced herself to calm down and tried her best to make herself look normal.
However, because Gu Ning was aware of her situation, she knew that Gu Ning would come as soon as possible, so she managed to control her fear.
The chauffeur glanced at Zhang Zichen through the rearview mirror from time to time. Seeing Zhang Zichen being so calm, he thought that Zhang Zichen trusted him.
In addition, Gu Ning wasn't playing with her phone, so he wasn't worried that Gu Ning would talk to someone on her phone.
Gao Yi ran all the way according to the address that Zhang Zikai shared with him. He even ran several red lights, but he had no time to think about that now.
