My expectant mother-in-law saw me constantly haggling over the price of my pregnancy dowry, so I used a trick to make her shut up

I am the only child in my family and have lived a carefree life since childhood, being unruly and capricious. Since breaking up with my boyfriend in college, I haven't looked down on any of the boyfriends my mom found for me. As a post-90s generation, I was about to leave. By chance, I met him, who is my current boyfriend to be. He is a handsome and magnanimous boy of my age, and most importantly, he can tolerate my stubborn temper. When I get along with him, I hardly blush.

We met our parents, and our boyfriend and I were a perfect match, so both parents were quite satisfied. Therefore, according to the customs of our hometown, we got engaged first. As for getting married, it depends on what we mean. After getting engaged, my boyfriend and I went out to work and rented a one bedroom apartment, living together for a while. Two young people live together, burning with firewood, and soon we have a true husband and wife. I accidentally had a child after a contraceptive failure.

I never considered giving birth so early. Since he came early, I have to take responsibility for him to the end. I discussed the matter of getting married with my husband. I can wait, but the children cannot. I didn't expect to wear a wedding dress with a big belly, which is so difficult for me. At first, my mother-in-law didn't know I was pregnant and was quite happy to hear the news that we were getting married. The next thing is for the two families to discuss the issue of dowry money.

My parents are quite open-minded. At home, my mother is the boss, while outside, my father is the boss. My mother is also the best mother who listens to me the most. She doesn't want the dowry money to make the two families unhappy. She told me that they can give it to them as they please. According to our family, a dowry of 100000 yuan is a level one, and of course, I don't mind giving more. In my hometown, there are many rules and regulations, and a dowry is equivalent to saving face. If more people give it to others, they believe that the man values the woman more. What I want is the lowest dowry. I understand his family's conditions, and 100000 yuan should not be a big problem.

My boyfriend told his parents about my thoughts, and the expectant mother-in-law agreed with the gift money that had already been prepared. I went to their house to play, and I accidentally said that I was pregnant with a baby. I clearly felt that my mother-in-law's eyes were shining, and I didn't know what her mind was. Two days later, she asked her boyfriend to take a message to me, saying that I was pregnant. In the future, when the child is born, there will be more money to spend. Half of the dowry money will be given, and the other half will be kept by her for the child to use.

When I heard about it, it didn't seem obvious to me that I was pregnant with a child and the price fell? Since he treats me as having a child, I don't need to be polite to her. I deliberately pretended to be indifferent and said to her, 'If you feel a lot of pressure, then I'll kill the child. Anyway, when he comes suddenly, I'm not ready to welcome him. We're still young, so we might as well wander around for a few more years. Once we make enough money, we'll get married and have a big grandson for you.'.

At this moment, the mother-in-law's face turned green. I actually heard a long time ago that she wants to have a grandson. How could she easily let me do it if she had a child this time. A few words shut her up and she never mentioned cutting the dowry in half again. I am thinking for their family's sake, but she has such a wishful thinking. If she responds to her various demands now, there will be some disobedience from her in the future, and there will be conflicts between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is inevitable. Is everyone right?
