guestDaveHelp	I am foreign raised chinese making plans to marry a mainland chinese girl. I am 21 years older than her, and the widowed mother is against the relationship. Initially she said she wants a house bought for her in her hometown. My girlfriend disagree and has said that just 50,000 RMB wedding gift will be enough. They are not a rich family nor are they poor. I feel the girlfriend has good intentions. Eventhough I can afford it, the amount seems too high for me. Does anyone have any experience or advice in this matter?

I believe that she didn't want her daughter to marry you so that she made a very harsh requirement---"Buy a house or bring her 50 thousand yuan". Better have a talk with her mother and try to figure out what her intention is.

GUEST16510	Hope I am not too late Per my Ayi from Qingdao who has a 22 year old son....the going rate now for a bride is about RMB100,000. It is a matter of face. U mentioned that ur future mom in law is against the marriage, is it before or after your GF refuses her mom and counter offer at RMB50,000??
