Chapter 636 Qin Huairu wants a bride price(1/2)
"Qin Huairu, stop joking. You should know better than me what kind of person Jia Zhang is. It is impossible to give a bride price. You should go back now."
After hearing this, Qin Huairu was not in a hurry.
He looked at Zhang Dafa coldly and said: "Zhang Dafa, I heard that you have killed two wives in a row. If my parents-in-law come over, you might kill them too. In this case, you don't want to
Do you still have a conscience when you pay a bride price?"
Killing two wives in succession was the greatest pain in Zhang Dafa's heart in his life.
He didn't expect Qin Huairu to know about this matter.
"But the gift you asked for twenty yuan is really too much. This is not in line with the rules at all. If the streets knew about it, they wouldn't agree."
These days, the subdistrict office has a lot of power. They will take care of things they can take care of, and they will take care of things they can't.
The street office also has the right to control matters like asking for high betrothal gifts.
Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Your worries are not wrong. The gift of twenty yuan does seem to be a lot, but we need to analyze the specific matters in detail.
My parents-in-law are fifty years old this year, can they be the same as those little girls?
Those little girls in their teens and twenties can ask for a bride price of ten yuan. My parents-in-law are two or three times older than them, and they only need a bride price of twenty yuan. Is that much?"
Qin Huairu's nonsense made it difficult for Zhang Dafa to resist.
However, he was an experienced person and did not directly agree to Qin Huairu. Instead, he stood up and said: "It's hard for me to decide on Qin Huairu's affairs today. How about this? Let me think about it for a few days, and then we can talk about it again."
matter."
Qin Huairu knew very well that once Zhang Dafa came to his senses, he would definitely not give a bride price to the Jia family.
Are you kidding me? If someone like Jia Zhang gives it to others, no one else wants it, so how can they spend money on it?
So Qin Huairu still refused to give up.
Qin Huairu walked to the door and shouted: "Oh, Uncle Zhang, why are you so bullying? Aren't my parents-in-law a little older? You didn't even give my family a gift. Don't you look down on our family?"
Qin Huairu's voice was loud.
It shocked the entire compound, and the residents gathered around it.
Of course, maybe they have been eyeing Zhang Da's fortune for a long time.
After all, people in this era are relatively conservative. There are not many people like Jia and Zhang who get married at such a young age.
The leader is still Aunt Liu.
She ran to the door of Zhang Dafa's house in just a few steps. Her eyes widened and she stared at Zhang Dafa and asked, "Zhang Dafa, I heard that you are getting married. Is this the case?"
Zhang Dafa did not expect that the residents in the compound would surround him.
Suddenly he became at a loss and said hesitantly: "Madam, this is my business and has nothing to do with you."
In Zhang Dafa's view, his relationship with the residents in the compound is not good.
The residents in the compound have absolutely no say in this kind of thing.
But in the eyes of those residents, Zhang Dafa is a member of the compound and should listen to them.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Dafa finished speaking, the residents started talking.
"Zhang Dafa, what do you mean? As a member of the compound, how can you leave this compound?"
"Yes, you have ruined your reputation and will bring harm to the residents of our compound."
"If other people know that you are from our compound, they will look down on the people in our compound."
"Zhang Dafa, the reason why you have not been liked by the residents in the compound for so many years is because your unique behavior has damaged the reputation of our compound."
Zhang Dafa did not expect that his words would arouse collective opposition from the residents of the compound.
If it were in the hereafter.
Zhang Dafa could just close the door and ignore this group of people.
But in this day and age, the compound is a collective.
If Zhang Dafa really made those residents dissatisfied.
Those residents can join together to find the street office.
When the time comes, Zhang Dafa will be severely criticized, and in severe cases, he will be kicked out of the compound.
Zhang Dafa is now retired, and the house he lives in is a lumber factory house.
If Zhang Dafa was kicked out of the compound, he might have to sleep on the streets.
This kind of thing is not without precedent.
Just last year, Zhang Wumao was kicked out of the compound in this way.
Speaking of which, the guy with Zhang Wumao is actually not a bad person, he just has a bit of a mean mouth and usually doesn't pay attention to unity.
Zhang Wumao has no serious job and wanders on the streets all day long. He only comes back at night on weekdays.
Originally, he and the residents of the compound could live in harmony.
But just last year, the neighborhood was preparing to select civilized courtyard houses and required all courtyards in the neighborhood to be cleaned.
Since there are no full-time cleaning personnel in the large courtyard, the biggest headache in daily life is cleaning.
Therefore, it is stipulated in the compound that every household must clean their own home and the entrance.
For this reason, many residents even took two days off to come back specifically for cleaning.
Zhang Wumao was also required to clean the door of his home.
It's just that this guy doesn't even keep his own house clean, so why would he follow the residents' suggestions?
So instead of doing hygiene, he started quarreling with the steward in the compound.
This caused dissatisfaction among the residents.
Because in the eyes of the residents, Zhang Wumao did this because he did not want the compound to be called a civilized compound. Then they would lose five or six kilograms of pork.
You must know that in this day and age, if five or six pounds of pork were marinated in salt, it would be enough to last for half a year.
So the residents in the compound went to the subdistrict office and asked the comrades of the subdistrict office to drive Zhang Wumao out.
In fact, the sub-district office has long been dissatisfied with Zhang Wumao.
This kid wandered around the streets all day long. Although he didn't make any big mistakes, he did make small mistakes all the time.
In particular, he also likes to stand on the street with a group of young people and whistle at the lesbians.
The sub-district office has received reports from residents several times, and has talked to Zhang Wumao many times about these matters, asking him to restrain his behavior in the future.
But instead of listening, Zhang Wumao became even more arrogant.
Once when a superior leader was inspecting the sub-district office, Zhang Wumao happened to see several female comrades among the leaders, so he stood nearby and whistled at the female comrades.
Generally speaking, female workers will not panic when encountering this kind of situation.
After all, they were well-informed, but the lesbians on the district committee were all educated people. They had never seen such a thing before, and they were so embarrassed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Later, they reported the incident to the district.
This was the first time this happened to me in the district, and I became angry at that time. I went to the leader of the sub-district office and severely criticized me.
The leaders of the sub-district office were criticized and naturally they were dissatisfied with Zhang Wumao.
Therefore, after receiving reports from the residents, we decided to expel Zhang Wumao from the courtyard.
Zhang Wumao became anxious when he saw this situation, because he knew that once he left the courtyard, he would not even have a place to live.
So when faced with the street class officer who came to evict the person, Zhang Wumao kept saying that the house belonged to his own family and that the comrades from the subdistrict office had no right to evict the person.
but.
The comrades from the sub-district office directly showed the land deed from the sub-district office.
The land deed clearly stated that the house of Zhang Wumao's family was rented by the lumber factory, and the real ownership of the house belonged to the street office.
Therefore, the sub-district office has the right to expel Zhang Wumao.
After this incident, the residents in the compound became more honest.
After all, in this day and age, the houses in the capital are already overcrowded.
Moreover, private individuals cannot purchase houses. If they are evicted, they will really have no place to live.
Zhang Dafa is a smart person and instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Facing the angry residents, he quickly explained: "You guys may have misunderstood, that's not what I meant just now.
You may not know yet, but just now, Comrade Qin Huairu actually asked me for a gift of twenty yuan. Do you think he can't live beyond his means?"
When they heard about the twenty yuan gift money, the residents couldn't help but take a breath.
Everyone is not a fool, and they all know the current situation. In this era of material scarcity, twenty yuan is already considered a sky-high price.
If it had been anyone else in the past, those residents would have felt unjust for Zhang Dafa.
but.
