Leaving the hospital, Yang Chen continued to pick up passengers.
Around noon, Yang Chen picked up a female passenger.
As usual, Yang Chen checked her phone's last digits and reminded her to fasten her seatbelt before driving.
The female passenger seemed to be in a bad mood, staring wistfully out the window as soon as she got in.
After driving for a short while, she suddenly asked, "Driver, do you think a dowry is necessary for marriage?"
Yang Chen: "Since it's called a dowry, it should be given. Not giving it would be disrespectful. But giving a gift depends on personal wishes and financial status. The receiver shouldn't state a fixed amount, nor should they ask for too much. And they shouldn't just ask for a dowry without providing wedding gifts; otherwise, it's rude on the woman's part. Right?"
The female passenger further asked: "Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend?"
