Groom Gets Bentley from Mother-in-Law, Falls to Knees in Tears

From NetEase:

Mother-in-Law Gives 4 Million Yuan Car, Son-in-Law Falls to Knees in Excitement Promising Never to Let Down His Wife

Wife’s mother presents 4 million yuan Bentley car as gift during wedding ceremony

Son-in-law so excited he knelt down in front of the guests, promising his mother-in-law that he’ll spend his entire life never disappointing her daughter

Yesterday [October 3rd], at the wedding banquet of a new couple in Ma’anshan, the groom’s mother-in-law announced that the gift she would present to her son-in-law could be called “the most expensive dowry in Ma’anshan history”: a Bentley car worth about 4 million yuan.

Opulence of wedding banquet stunned all present

Yesterday evening at 6:18pm, a high-level wedding banquet was hosted in a gorgeous hotel located on Taibai Avenue in Ma’anshan City. The price of the banquet was 5,888 yuan/table stunned all the “little buddies” who came to attend the wedding, amongst which of course included the Mr. Liu who posted about it on the ok forum.

Mr. Liu told this Jinlin Evening News reporter that he was the bridegroom Mr. Zhang’s friend. According to what he knows, the groom and the bride are locals, and the couple, who were born in 1988, got married after being together for more than a year. Before marriage, Mr. Zhang had told him that the parents of his girlfriend operated a mining business and they were pretty wealthy. In comparison, Mr. Zhang’s parents work in private enterprises, and are amongst the normal salaried classes. But Mr. Liu said that in women’s eyes, Mr. Zhang had one advantage that the average person would find hard to compete with, that being a handsome appearance.

Presentation of dowry brought the house down

Mr. Liu told this reporter that when it came time for the families to go on stage and after the parents from both sides expressed their gratitude to the guests who had come and had invited them to enjoy the food and drink, the host [MC] intentionally had the bride’s mother, which would be Mr. Zhang’s mother-in-law, stay on stage.

After once again publicly exhorting her daughter and son-in-law to “respect each other, love each other, and live in harmony”, the mother-in-law then took out a key. Mr. Liu and those at the same table at first thought the mother-in-law would present them with a house, as 1 million yuan in Ma’anshan can buy quite a nice apartment and 2 million could definitely buy a villa [single-family house]. Just as people were guessing and speculating, the mother-in-law said to her son-in-law, “I heard from my daughter that you like cars and it is said that parents live wholeheartedly for their children. Today, we’ve given our daughter to you in marriage, and seeing how you’ve always been good to my daughter, I discussed with your father-in-law and have decided to give you a gift that you’ll like.”

Only then did guests realize it was a car key. The host took the key from the bridegroom’s hand and looked, then announced to the guests, “This is a car key to a Bentley Continental. It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him, and sure enough it’s true!” The guests who knew cars had already cried out a “wow”.

Mr. Liu, who calls himself “short, poor and ugly”, used his mobile phone to go online and search for the “price of a Bentley Continental” and the answer is: 4 million yuan.

He then looked back to the stage and as they received the keys, the young couple were both wiping away tears, though the groom seemed to have been crying a bit more fiercely. After all, it was such a big surprise. What was even more surprising was that after the groom fully understood what the special dowry was, he actually plopped down on his kneels in front of all the guests and promised his mother-in-law that he would never let down her daughter and would be filial to parents of both sides his whole life, moving his mother-in-law so much that she was in tears on stage as she kept saying, “Good son, please get up.”

Mr. Liu sighed, “It’s okay if “comparing dads” [comparing and competing on family wealth, backgrounds, connections] doesn’t work, a “local tyrant” mother-in-law can also change your life.” Through Mr. Liu’s, this reporter tried to interview Mr. Zhang, the son-in-law who was gifted with “local tyrant gold” [originally referring to the gold iPhone 5S, but here specifically the car], but was politely refused, and so the reporter’s plan to interview the mother-in-law through him could not be realized either.

Netizens: One can also compare mother-in-laws

This Jinling Evening News reporter saw different opinions on the lavish wedding and Mr. Liu’s lamentations among netizens. Some of them agree with Mr. Liu’s perspective and believe that besides “comparing dads”, there is now yet another way to shorten one’s process of struggling and striving for a better life, which is to find a “local tyrant” mother-in-law. However, most netizens still think Mr. Zhang is just a special case and that one should still rely on their own efforts and hard work in life.

Fujian luxury car + villa/house + cash + shares of stock. With this dowry for this man, will this man castrate himself to show his loyalty immediately?

Haha. Shina men are generally poor and of low ambition. If you don’t believe me, I’ll do an experiment. Those who reply to my comment and praise our big imperial Japan and call me master can leave your bank account information, and me, the taikun, will transfer 100 yuan to each of you.

Are you really from the dog skin plaster country [referring to Japan, because its flag looks like the Chinese medicinal herbal plaster gou pi gao]? How did you come to learn Chinese characters? Are you worried that those small islands of yours are going to sink in a few years and your people become extinct?

Little devil [a slur for Japanese], if you can prove that you are an Easterner [Japanese], please show your relevant credentials, and once I’ve verified they are not fake and you then call all Chinese people as the “grandfathers and grandmothers” [masters, elders, superiors] of you Easterners, I’ve decided to give you 1 million yuan. A promise is a promise. I can tell you, little devil Japanese, if there’s one thing Chinese people have a lot of, it’s money. As long as you call Chinese people the grandfathers and grandmothers of the Japanese, you’ll have lots of cash.
