He Yuzhu stared at Qin Huiru with a fiery gaze, causing Qin Huiru to feel embarrassed.
The middle-aged woman who was with Qin Huiru was a matchmaker. She had arranged many marriages in the Red Flag Commune.
Nowadays, it was very difficult for rural women to marry into the city.
It could be said that with a city hukou, a house in Beijing, and a job, even if she was older and ugly, it would not be difficult for her to marry a beautiful girl from the countryside.
"Aunt Zhou, let's talk in private.”He Yuzhu said with a smile.
She looked at He Yuzhu doubtfully. After some thought, the matchmaker asked Qin Huairu to wait for her here.
After putting some distance between him and Qin Huiru, He Yuzhu whispered,""Aunt Zhou, I've taken a fancy to that Sister Qin.”
"You like Xiaoru?" Aunt Zhou frowned.
Qin Huairu was the village belle of Qin Village. Otherwise, Aunt Zhou would not have introduced her to the Jia family.
It was just that the Jia family's conditions in the city were not good enough. Otherwise, Jia Zhangshi would definitely find a daughter-in-law in the city.
"This is 1 yuan. Take it first. As long as Sister Qin and I get together, I'll give you another 10 yuan. In addition, I can give Sister Qin's family 50 yuan as a betrothal gift.”As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out a dollar from his pocket.
He Yuzhu didn't have much money now. Besides, it wouldn't be good to give him too much.
Aunt Zhou's eyes widened when she saw He Yuzhu take out a dollar and heard He Yuzhu's promise. Compared to the Jia family, He Yuzhu was too generous.
Jia Zhangshi only promised to give Aunt Zhou 1 yuan, and the betrothal gift to the Qin family was only a few yuan.
Most importantly, before Qin Huiru and Jia Gan registered their marriage, the one yuan that Jia Zhangshi promised would not reach Aunt Zhou's hands.
In comparison, He Yuzhu had taken out 1 yuan and promised 10 yuan. This was much more generous.
What was even more unbelievable was that he gave the Qin family a 50 yuan betrothal gift.
A young man from the city married a girl from the countryside and gave her a 50 yuan betrothal gift. This was simply unbelievable.
" This... I brought Xiaoru to meet Jia Gan today. We've already agreed..." Aunt Zhou was also a little troubled.
After all, the Jia family and the Qin family had already made an agreement. Aunt Zhou was also in a difficult position, but He Yuzhu had given her too much, so she could not refuse.
"How about this, as long as Sister Qin and I get together, I'll give you another 5 yuan.”He Yuzhu said.
"Good!" Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth. Although she had let down the Jia family, He Yuzhu had given her too much.
If word got out, as long as He Yuzhu's family was better off than the Jia family, there would only be more people looking for Auntie Zhou to be their matchmaker.
One party only gave one yuan and hadn't received it yet. The other party took out one yuan now and promised to give another 15 yuan. This added up to 16 yuan.
Moreover, He Yuzhu had given the Qin family 50 yuan as a betrothal gift, so the Qin family would definitely give some to Aunt Zhou. In total, there would definitely be 20 yuan.
Aunt Zhou knew very well that if Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, she would only get about two yuan, but if she married He Yuzhu, she would get about twenty yuan. With such a huge difference, not many matchmakers could refuse.
However, He Yuzhu had to fulfill his promise.
"Young man, tell me about your family first.”
He Yuzhu smiled." My name is He Yuzhu. I'm now a cook at Red Star Rolling Mill. My salary is 13.5 yuan a month. I should be able to become a full-time employee this year. By then, my monthly salary will be more than 20 yuan.”
"There are two rooms in the house. One is 70 square meters and the other is 45 square meters.”
"My dad is the deputy director of the canteen in the factory. His monthly salary is 41.7 yuan. My sister is in school.”
……
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Aunt Zhou was also surprised. This condition was much better than the Jia family's.
Although Aunt Zhou had already believed most of it, she still found someone to ask.
After everything was confirmed, Aunt Zhou brought Qin Huairu back to the Qin Family Village.
On the way back, Aunt Zhou told Qin Huairu about the situation.
Qin Huairu had yet to meet Jia Gan, but she did see He Yuzhu.
Although He Yuzhu was younger than Qin Huairu by two years, he looked more mature and very handsome. His temperament was even more unique.
Actually, He Yuzhu's image was not bad to begin with. The original body did not know how to dress up and was a little rustic. When she dressed up a little, her image rose by several levels.
Qin Huairu was very smart. She could guess a thing or two from the way He Yuzhu looked at her and the conversation he had with Aunt Zhou. She was already mentally prepared. Now that Aunt Zhou had mentioned it, she was not too surprised.
Qin Huairu was tempted when she found out about He Yuzhu's conditions.
In Qin Huairu's eyes, He Yuzhu was a standard tall, rich, and handsome man.
" My parents…" Qin Huairu whispered.
"The Jia family only promised to give your family three yuan as a betrothal gift. He Yuzhu said that she would give you 50 yuan as a betrothal gift.”
"What is it? 50 yuan?" Qin Huairu was also shocked.
"I've seen Jia Gan before. He's indeed not as good as He Yuzhu. Moreover, He Yuzhu's family background is better. You're from the countryside and you're older than him. For him to give so much betrothal gift, it's obvious that he really likes you. I'm doing this for your own good.”
Hearing Aunt Zhou's words, Qin Huairu was even more tempted.
With Qin Huairu's intelligence, she knew that Aunt Zhou was only trying to persuade her to marry He Yuzhu because she could get more benefits. However, she did not object to it.
Although she did not really like He Yuzhu, Qin Huiru had a good impression of him.
Most importantly, Qin Huairu could not marry freely.
With the matchmaker's words, all that was left was the parents 'orders.
……
The Qin Family Village was more than a hundred miles away from 49 City.
In Qin Huairu's house, the entire family was gathered together. The person with the highest seniority was Qin Huairu's grandmother.
Qin Huairu's father had three younger brothers and two younger sisters.
Qin Huairu had two younger brothers.
"Xiaoru, have you seen Jia Gan?”Mrs. Qin asked as she tugged at Qin Huairu.
Mr. Qin looked at Aunt Zhou.
After chatting with He Yuzhu, Aunt Zhou was confident that she could persuade the Qin family.
First, Aunt Zhou talked about Jia Zhangshi's shrewdness and shrewdness, then she talked about Jia Gan's shortcomings. She was not lying. Lastly, He Yuzhu bumped into Qin Huairu.
"50 betrothal gifts?" Mr. Qin sucked in a breath of cold air. This was too generous. The Jia family couldn't compare at all!
Mrs. Qin's face beamed. She had agreed to marry her daughter to He Yuzhu just because he had promised to give her 50 yuan as a betrothal gift.
Moreover, He Yuzhu's conditions were better, and he was a better person. Even his job had a better future.
As long as one was not stupid, they would choose He Yuzhu.
In fact, even if He Yuzhu's family background was not as good as the Jia family's, and he was not as good as Jia Gan's, as long as they could provide more betrothal gifts, Mother Qin would still support Qin Huairu marrying He Yuzhu.
Mother Qin wasn't the only one who was realistic. In this era, there were very few rural people who were unrealistic.
Moreover, the people in the countryside in this era were almost all biased towards boys.
Therefore, it didn't matter whether Qin Huairu was happy or not. What was most important was how many benefits the Qin family could obtain.
Mrs. Qin agreed to let Qin Huairu marry He Yuzhu. Mr. Qin did not object either. Grandma Qin smiled.
Qin Huairu was even less opposed.
