Jia Gan wasn't in a good mood today. Ever since his father, Jia Datao, died from a work-related injury, he had taken over the job and became a glorious workshop worker at the Red Star Rolling Mill. However, he had been unable to keep up with the production progress and didn't get along well with his colleagues.
She heard from her mother that Qin Huairu would be coming today, but she didn't see her even after work.
Although he heard that Qin Huairu was the most beautiful girl in the Qin Family Village and that she was filial, sensible, and especially capable, Jia Gan still felt a little conflicted because she was from the countryside.
In addition, there was the matter of the silly pillar in the afternoon.
"Damned Silly Zhu, the spoon actually fell on my head.”Jia Gan was filled with hatred, and he had made up his mind to teach He Yuzhu a lesson.
He Daqing returned to the courtyard house before Jia Gan.
This was a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits. It had gray walls and green tiles. It was divided into a front courtyard, a middle courtyard, and a backyard.
There were many families living in this courtyard house. There were two grandpas in the front and back yards, and two grandpas in the middle yard.
In the front yard, there was the Fourth Master Yan Bugui's family. Yan Bugui was a primary school teacher and was very calculative.
In the middle court, there was Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing.
That's right, He Yuzhu's cheap father, He Daqing, was the second uncle of this courtyard house.
In the backyard there are three grandpas and a home with Liu Hai.
Above the four uncles was a deaf old lady. The old lady was a household with five guarantees and was highly respected. Currently, she was mainly taken care of by an uncle and an aunt.
The He family had two rooms. He Daqing lived in the big room while He Yuzhu and his sister, He Yushui, lived in the small room.
Because why rain goes to school and stays in the hotel every month, but also just goes home for a few days.
When He Daqing returned home, He Yuzhu came looking for him.
Marrying Qin Huiru required money, and He Yuzhu could not even afford 10 yuan. Although he had the system, it was too stingy, so he could only ask He Daqing for money.
No matter what, he had to marry Qin Huiru first.
"Zhu Zi, stir-fry some peanuts tonight.”He Daqing said casually when he saw He Yuzhu.
"Alright, Father. I have something to tell you.”
"What is it?" Su Daqiang's paralyzed face and eye bags trembled.
"Give me a few hundred yuan. I want to get married.”As soon as He Yuzhu opened her mouth, He Daqing's eyes widened.
Married?
A few hundred yuan?
He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief.
"You're only 16 years old. Why are you getting married? Who is the girl?" He Daqing said angrily.
Moreover, He Yuzhu had only been an apprentice chef at the Red Star Rolling Mill for more than half a year. His salary was only a few dozen yuan. It was no wonder that He Daqing had such a big reaction.
"16 isn't young anymore. The girl's name is Qin Huairu, and she's two years older than me. I've liked her since then. Give me 500 yuan. I know you've saved 2000 yuan. Are you still my biological father?" He Yuzhu rolled her eyes.
"Qin Huairu? Where did he come from? What's the situation at home?"
"Qin Village."
"The countryside?" He Daqing frowned.
"Give me 500 yuan."
"Marrying a girl from the countryside is not even worth 10 yuan. You want 500 yuan from me? No!"
He Daqing didn't save up money for old age, but to find another one.
He had been single for a few years. He had wanted to find someone else early in the morning, but he had never liked anyone. His standards were not low.
"Then I'll go and borrow money from Grandpa Yi. I'll return it to him in the future and support him in his old age.”He Yuzhu sneered.
Yi Zhonghai was now a seventh-grade fitter at the Red Star Rolling Mill. His monthly salary was 87.5 yuan.
Yi Zhonghai had no children and his salary was high. He had saved a lot of money, much more than He Daqing.
If He Yuzhu had offered to lend Yi Zhonghai 500 yuan for his retirement, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not have refused. After all, he was borrowing money and would return it in the future. It would also solve the problem of retirement.
He Daqing did not expect He Yuzhu to say that. He could not sit still.
"You brat, your wings have hardened!”He Daqing was furious.
"I'll make it clear. Are you giving me 500 yuan?”
"Here's 100."
“500!”
“150!”
“500!”
In
the end, He Yuzhu took a step back, and He Daqing reluctantly took out 450 yuan.
In the 1950s, 40 yuan was a huge sum of money.
The pork was only 60 cents per catty.
"Right, Qin Huairu was originally introduced to Jia Gan. Widow Zhang would definitely cause a ruckus in the future, but the Qin family didn't accept betrothal gifts, so Qin Huairu took a fancy to me.”After taking the money, He Yuzhu told He Daqing before they went to fry the peanuts.
Jia Zhangshi was not a good person. She had robbed her daughter-in-law, so she would definitely cause a ruckus. Although He Yuzhu was not afraid, she did not like trouble either. It would be good to let He Daqing step in.
After all, He Daqing was now the second eldest son, and the other three eldest sons had given him face. He Yuzhu was also on good terms with the Deaf Old Lady. Most importantly, the Qin family had confiscated the betrothal gifts from the Jia family. If this matter blew up, it would be the Jia family's fault.
He Daqing's stoic face changed again. Good heavens, his silly son actually cut off his beard.
However, based on He Daqing's understanding of Jia Zhangshi, if Jia Zhangshi was willing to find a village girl for her son, that village girl would definitely not be bad.
"It's just that if you accept the betrothal gift, you can return the money.”He Daqing said lightly.
After extorting a sum of money, He Yuzhu also gained confidence.
As for agreeing to give Zhou Aunty benefits fee, as well as giving Qin home betrothal gifts, He Yuzhu is a word also didn't say to He Daqing, because he himself He Daqing certainly wouldn't agree.
Just like what He Daqing said, 10 yuan was enough to marry Qin Huairu.
If He Yuzhu hadn't stopped her, Jia Zhangshi would have been able to get her son to marry Qin Huiru with just a few yuan.
…
Jia family.
Jia Gan put down the lunchbox. There were two cornbread and a corncake inside.
Jia Zhang-shi made some pickles and dried radishes, and the mother and son started to eat dinner.
"Gan 'er, why are you back so early? Have you seen the Qin family's girl?"
"I didn't see him." Jia Gan said unhappily.
"What's wrong?"
"Silly Zhu, you're going to do it today.”
"What is it? I'm definitely going to talk to him after dinner.”
"Why didn't the girl from the Qin family come to Beijing today? Is there something wrong with her family? "That matchmaker is the same. She actually wants 1 yuan. She refused to agree even after giving her 50 cents. We have to lower the betrothal gift for the Qin family. We have to make up for this loss..." Jia Zhangshi muttered.
When she finished eating, Jia Zhangshi went to the opposite door to look for He Yuzhu.
However, He Yuzhu didn't show up, so He Daqing responded.
"Second uncle, your silly Zhu is out of line today. He's causing trouble for my son, he…" Jia Zhangshi.
"Which chef in the factory doesn't know how to cook? Go and ask. Why don't you ask the factory to change the big spoon to a small spoon?”He Daqing said calmly.
"What are you saying? "My man is dead, and now you're bullying us orphans and widows…" Jia Zhangshi threw a tantrum.
He Daqing didn't like Jia Zhangshi.
After a while, Yi Zhonghai arrived.
Under the persuasion of the first uncle, Jia Zhangshi returned to her house while cursing.
