A girl from Jiangxi dated a guy from Shanghai.

When they brought him home to discuss marriage,

both sides had originally agreed on a bride price of 388,000 RMB.

However, after the agreement was finalized, the mother-in-law heard:

that the groom's family were old Shanghainese locals.

So she changed her tune: the bride price must be 1 million RMB.

Her reasoning: "Shanghainese families have better conditions; we can't stick to ordinary standards."

The groom's family found this unacceptable and decided not to proceed with the marriage.

The mother-in-law later tried to persuade them, saying 388,000 RMB would still work, just as originally planned.

But the groom's side had made up their minds and directly broke up and blocked contact.

Now that the engagement is off, this family has also ruined their reputation due to the mother-in-law's actions.
