A man and his girlfriend were having dinner at a hotpot restaurant in Tianshui, Gansu province, when they discussed about dowry/betrothal gifts. We call it 彩礼 cǎi lǐ in Chinese（money and/or property that a husband must pay to his wife's family when they get married.）

The man told his girlfriend that 200,000 yuan is too much. He earns just not much money and doesn't know how to save 200,000 yuan.

Girlfriend asked him calmly: "Your parents don't have money?" The man answered that his parents' money belongs to themselves and not to him, therefore, it can not be used as betrothal gifts.

At that moment, the girlfriend became impatient, saying, "We are talking about our marriage, it is not as if you’re just buying vegetables in the market!".

The man continued to beg his girlfriend, “Can it be a little less? 200 thousand really too much for me.”

The girlfriend responded: "Then you drink this hotpot soup base and I don't need the betrothal gifts".

When the man heard this, he pointed to the woman and said, "If that’s what you want, fine!"

Then, the man end drinking the whole hot pot spicy soup!

For this incident, netizens have different opinions:

1. Sympathize with man

It's not worth wasting one's time in exchange for such a girlfriend. Marriage is a love affair, not a sale.

Why should the man pay for a marriage, while the woman can sit back and reap the rewards?

2. Sympathize with woman

If a man even doesn't want to pay betrothal gifts, is it true love? Even if you get married, you won't be happy!

If a man is reluctant to spend money on you, can he give you a happy life in marriage?

What is your opinion?
