Weddings, many people take it very seriously, after all, for most people, it only happens once in a lifetime.
Weddings have to abide by local customs. The customs of each place are different, and the various procedures on the wedding day are also different.
However, the marriage customs in some places are really unacceptable.
A recent video of "the mother-in-law asking her son-in-law to drink foot water on the day of the marriage" was circulated on the Internet.
Xiaodong (pseudonym), from Jiangsu, 32 years old, met his fiancee Xiaoyan(pseudonym) through an acquaintance, 28 years old, The two are not young, and the wedding was put on the agenda after meeting a few times But the bride's parents only have such a precious daughter, and hope she will marry a rich man.
Xiaodong was not a big earner, and his parents are also from the countryside, so they don't have much savings.
Xiaoyan's parents persuaded Xiaoyan to break up several times, but Xiaoyan just refused to agree. Under the helpless circumstances, Xiaoyan's parents reluctantly agreed to the marriage. When discussing the wedding, the Xiaoyan family made many requests with Xiaodong's family agreeing to all of them.
It stands to reason that after everything is negotiated, the upcoming wedding should be not a problem.
However, just when Xiaoyan was about to board the wedding car to go to her husband's house, the words of her mother-in-law turned the whole audience into petrification.
"Give another 600,000 RMB, or my daughter will not go with you"
Xiaodong said that marrying Xiaoyan has already emptied himself and her family, and he really can't get the money.
The mother-in-law asked Xiaoyan to wash her feet before leaving, and the groom had to wash her feet, saying it was a local custom, Which is called "washing away the dust", it is to avoid taking the dirt on the feet to the husband's house.
Xiaodong did as she was told did, however, just as Xiaodong was about to pour out the foot-washing water,
But the mother-in-law said, "This kind of foot-washing water cannot be thrown away. In order to verify whether you are sincere to my daughter, you need to drink the foot-washing water."
When Xiaodong heard it, everyone was stunned. How could he drink such a big basin of foot water? Besides, what kind of rule is this?
So he asked his mother-in-law, why do you drink foot water? The mother-in-law said that this is a local custom.
The bridesmaids next to the groom also watched "show" and didn't think it was a big deal.
But Xiaodong had never heard of such a custom, and thought it was an insult to him, and refused to drink it. The mother-in-law rose and said, "You can drink if you don't want to. Now give me 600,000 and take the bride away."
At this time, Xiaodong looked at the bride Xiaoyan with a look of help, hoping that she could say something for him.
Unexpectedly, the bride Xiaoyan did not move, and said in a low voice: "I listen to my mother...". Xiaodong was speechless when he heard this, and said loudly, "Will you marry or not?" After speaking, he took off the suit and threw it into the bride's hands, and left the bride's house.
The bride then hugged the groom's leg begging him not to leave.
