There is no bride price in local customs. Usually when you are engaged, you will go to the city (Tengzhou) to buy some bride price, clothes and jewelry for the woman. It doesn't matter much, there are not many handkerchiefs as collateral, and there are not many cars with hundreds of thousands. (Generally, the bride price is given to the man, mostly because the man's conditions are not good)
2. Once you are engaged, there is not much to say if your in-laws want to give gifts. It depends on the strength and face of in-laws.
When getting married, it is usually the man who builds the house and the woman who buys the dowry.
