Nowadays, whether it’s Luo Yanqing or as a daughter-in-law, at least there’s so respect for her, intending to lend a hand when her days are tough, and that’s not impossible.
But that woman seems to have forgotten over these twenty-one or two years that she had a son in her first marriage, and when life beca hard to bear, she instead rembered Luo Yanqing, thinking that Luo Yanqing should support her current entire family. Where in the world does such good fortune co?
Cai Xiufen: "Six lads, they’re all laborers, and as long as they’re diligent and work hard, they won’t get less grain by the end of the year, and they’ll collect a good sum of money."
Kang Li: "Yeah, so many sons, and not the small ones, just a few older ones, if they can honestly work, life won’t be too bad, not to the point where they can’t even afford to marry a wife."
"In our village, getting married now requires a dowry of at least thirty or forty yuan less, or sixty or seventy on the higher side, rarely over a hundred; anyway, I’ve never heard of it in our village. According to our standards, if your mother-in-law and her sons were diligent, it wouldn’t be a problem to bring one bride into the house that year, let alone two."
In their village, families with many laborers and more work points receive two or three hundred yuan in hand by the end of the year. Even those who earn less still get at least thirty or forty yuan.
Of course, for those lazy-bones families, it’s considered lucky not to have to repay the Brigade!
After listening to her mother, a smile suddenly flooded Kang Li’s bright, fox-like eyes: "Mother, my husband didn’t give our family a small dowry."
Cai Xiufen was startled for a mont, then lightly patted her beloved daughter’s arm, saying, "Yanqing did give a lot, but your mother didn’t keep a single penny for the house."
"I know, I know, you and dad are the best, giving all the money to , your precious daughter." Kang Li’s eyes curved like crescents, and her smile was as beautiful as the blossoming of spring flowers.
At that mont, Cai Xiufen stood up: "It’s getting late, go back to your room and sleep." With that, she walked toward the guest room.
Kang Li: "Mother, good night!"
Cai Xiufen waved her hand: "Go to sleep early."
Liaocheng.
Stone Bridge Commune, Ma Wang Brigade.
After having lunch, ng Xingsheng didn’t take a nap but found an excuse to leave the house.
He arrived at the small grove where he usually t Cui Shuicao as promised.
"Brother Xingsheng."
Seeing ng Xingsheng appear before her eyes, Cui Shuicao called out shyly.
Well, to say she was shy would be more accurately described as artificial.
"Have you been waiting long?"
ng Xingsheng approached Cui Shuicao, his eyes filled with light.
"I’ve just arrived not too long ago."
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable under ng Xingsheng’s gaze, Cui Shuicao’s cheeks reddened, and she leaned against the tree trunk behind her with her head bowed as she said, "My distant cousin ca to my house yesterday, asking... asking when the two preys you talked about could be obtained, also saying that the buyer has been quite urgent recently..."
A struggle flashed through ng Xingsheng’s eyes: "Wait a bit longer."
"...Brother Xingsheng, you won’t bla for the idea I gave you, right? Actually... actually, I didn’t want you to do that either, but I really don’t want to marry soone else,
If you can’t produce two hundred yuan for the dowry, my mother definitely won’t let marry into your house. Also, my cousin has been involved in that kind of business for several years now, he says he always finds better buyers for the preys he gets, claiming they’re performing acts of charity..."
A blockhead! She had gone to such lengths, yet he was still hesitant. If it weren’t for the fact that this blockhead had a good relative in North City, facilitating access to preys of finer quality, with her looks and figure, would she even consider him?
