On February 24, a video of "The father-in-law returned the 188,000 yuan gift at the wedding, leaving only 100 yuan for good luck" went viral on the Internet, attracting the attention of netizens.
On the evening of February 24, the reporter contacted and interviewed the bride Liao Jiao. She confirmed that the incident was true and clarified that the wedding actually took place in Yiyang, Hunan, and was not Anhui as reported online.
The bride Liao Jiao and the groom Li Pingjun are from Yiyang. They met through a friend's introduction, and then fell in love and got married hand in hand. Liao Jiao said frankly that from the time they fell in love to the engagement, the two people and their families had always reached a consensus: they did not value the amount of the bride price, but rather the relationship and each other's future. As early as the engagement stage, she had clearly informed her father that she would not accept a bride price from the man. On the wedding day on February 22, her father returned the 188,000 yuan gift to the groom in full, leaving only 100 yuan as a symbol of good luck. This scene surprised and deeply moved Liao Jiao.
She revealed that her father was very supportive of her idea, and her simple speech on the spot moved everyone even more: "Young people, don't let money blind you from the happiness of your marriage." It is understood that this popular video was not deliberately shot, but was casually recorded by relatives and friends at the scene. Unexpectedly, it would attract widespread attention, and the couple and their families were very surprised.
Mr. Li, the groom in question, responded that "his father-in-law returned the bride price" and said, "It was not a rehearsal in advance, and there was nothing expected before." The groom, Mr. Li, told reporters that both parties were from ordinary families. After returning the bride price that day, his father-in-law gave him a dowry when he returned home.
