Chapter 595: Sixty Things, Fine Factory Flowers (20)
The lanterns are on.
In the large courtyard where textile factory workers gather, there are those who have returned home late and are just starting to eat, some are chatting in the courtyard and washing clothes, and there are groups of three or five sitting on benches, shaking cattail fans and chatting about home-cooked things...
The atmosphere in the Xu family is still a bit depressing.
"Dad, Mom, I don't think the fourth child will come back. She is either lying, or she doesn't have the nerve to come back because she doesn't have enough money."
Xu Yao looked at the dark, unappetizing pickles, pickles, and pickled radishes on the table, and put down his chopsticks with a sad expression:
"Since my family really can't raise the money, I'm going to tell Pingping that our marriage should be called off!"
"Hey, don't go!" Xu's mother hurriedly grabbed her son, "Wait a minute, maybe your fourth sister has already borrowed the money, but she just doesn't have time to go home. It's really not possible..."
Before Xu's mother finished speaking, Xu Fang grabbed a coarse-grain steamed bun, broke it in half, picked up some pickles with chopsticks, and stood up while gnawing on it: "You can do whatever you want, just don't take my idea!"
"The third child..." Xu's mother called her with a stern expression, "Actually, the conditions of the family your aunt introduced are really good. There are two workers in the family..."
"Then let the fourth child get married!"
"Squeak——"
At this juncture, Xu Yin opened the door and walked in.
"Fourth child?"
"Fourth sister!"
"Yin, you're back!"
Xu Yin's eyes swept across the faces of everyone who were either happy, looking forward to, or worried. They all looked at her with bright eyes, thinking that this moment must be her highlight moment in the old Xu family, because she was so noticed.
ah!
"Fourth..." Xu's mother squirmed her lips and asked expectantly, "Have you raised the money?"
"Well, I borrowed some from a colleague. It's not enough to advance my salary. Here's a hundred yuan!"
She took out a roll of money and handed it to Xu's mother. Before Xu's mother reached out to take it, she took it back: "Mom, I declare once again: This money is considered a personal loan by me, and you don't need to pay it back.
Major matters are decided by me personally, and my family is not allowed to interfere."
She had said this last time, and Xu Aiguo and his wife had already been mentally prepared.
What's more, Xu's mother made a careful calculation: Even if the fourth child married the person arranged by the family, all the bride price given by the man would be left to the family, and the cash would not be as much as one hundred yuan. After all, the furniture was owned by the young couple.
It’s useful, not to mention that the mother’s family also has to prepare a dowry for the married girl.
Comparing the two, one hundred yuan in cash is definitely a good deal.
But there is one thing. After Xu's mother thought about it, she thought it would be better to make it clear: "Fourth child, my mother and your father have discussed your request and we agree. But when you get married, does the family not have to worry about the dowry?
"
Xu Yin glanced at her with a smile but not a smile: "Okay, then I don't have to hand over my salary to my family in the future?"
"How can that be done!" Xu Fang was the first to jump out and object, "Before you get married, half of your salary should be handed over to your family. This is our family's rule. Why can you not pay it!"
"That's because you eat and live at home. Mom has to buy food, vegetables and daily necessities, which costs a lot of money. I don't live and eat at home now."
"..."
One critical blow was not enough, Xu Yin continued: "Of course, you can also be like me and transfer to a position with accommodation, and then give your parents a hundred yuan. When you get married, you don't need to ask the family to get the money, or you can apply without handing it over.
, I think my parents will agree."
——Two consecutive hits!
"Besides, I just said that I will decide my own life-long matters. My family is not allowed to interfere, and there is no need for my family to contribute money to accompany the dowry. I didn't say that if anything happens to my parents in the future, I will just leave it alone. My parents gave birth to five brothers and sisters, and we have been educated since childhood.
If our bowl of water is balanced, if something happens to our parents in the future, it is reasonable and reasonable that we, brothers and sisters, should share it equally and make the bowl of water balanced."
——Three hits in a row!
"However, individual comrades can be treated appropriately. For example, if the second brother gets married after working for less than two years, he will get so much money from his family, and he will not have to hand over his salary after the marriage. What will happen to his parents in the future?
Shouldn’t we pay more attention? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be Han’s father and mother’s heart?”
——A targeted critical hit against Xu Yao!
Xu Yin hasn't finished speaking yet: "Also,..."
"Okay! Fourth brother, please stop talking!" Xu's mother shouted, tightening her hands on the hundred yuan that was like a hot potato, and said with red eyes, "Fourth brother, I know you have been feeling aggrieved recently, but who can let me
Our family’s conditions are poor…”
"Are our family's conditions really bad?" Xu Yin analyzed in a calm tone, "Not counting the eldest sister, four of our six members are workers. Even though the wages vary, we still have a fixed income every month. Like this
If the conditions are bad, there are few households in the workers' compound that are better than ours. But why are life so tight? Because people are not united, I would like to ask, is the second brother's monthly salary really good since he started working?
Did you hand it in truthfully?"
"this……"
"What? Brother, you didn't turn in your salary?" Xu Fang was furious, pointing at Xu Yao's nose and asking, "Tell me! Is it true?"
"What are you doing! There are two of them, three courts are interrogating!" Xu Yao pushed Xu Fang's hand away angrily, "Yes! I didn't hand it in, but there is a reason!"
"What's the reason? Tell me! Tell me!"
"When I was an apprentice, how much money did it cost? It was not enough to buy a pack of cigarettes for the master every month. After becoming a full-time employee, shouldn't we maintain the relationship between master and apprentice? Please treat me with a drink, a pack of cigarettes, etc. You and the fourth child will not pay back the three.
I go to the supply and marketing cooperative every day to buy some hair ties, hair flowers, and cream..."
"That was after we handed over half of our salary to my family! Do you have any control over how I want to spend the rest of the money?" Xu Fang glared angrily, turned around and asked Xu's mother, "Mom, are you going to spend it on me?"
The money that the fourth child and I handed over was secretly used to supplement the second child? No wonder, recently I often heard workers in the workshop say that the second child spends a lot of money and often buys candies, cakes and other things to please his partner. I also wonder where he got so much
Money, not to mention the co-author did not pay home wages, but he also spent the hard-earned money earned by me and the fourth child! Xu Lao Er Xu Yao! Do you want to be shameless? I ask you if you want to be shameless!"
"Have you ever pointed your finger at your brother and scolded him like that?" Xu Yao was also furious. He stood up and used his height advantage to condescendingly put pressure on Xu Fang, "What's wrong with me if I don't pay my salary? I don't either.
Do you often bring cakes and snacks to your house? You were the one who ate them the most at that time. When you fell out, you forgot about the ones you ate, right?"
The brother and sister started to quarrel, kicking stools and throwing chairs.
Xu Yin: "..."
I just want you to know the truth and I don't want you to start a war.
It was only then that Xu Aiguo realized that his second son's salary had been squandered by himself.
Xu's mother has always been in control of the family's money.
He asked Xu's mother with a sullen face: "Is this true? My second son hasn't taken a penny from home since he started working? In turn, you still subsidize him?"
Xu's mother explained while wiping her tears: "When the second brother first became an apprentice, he really didn't have enough money, so I said he would hand it in after he became a full-time employee. But after he became a full-time employee... you have also seen that I give it to him during the holidays.
The cost of giving gifts to Master is indeed not small. Plus, he is a big young man, so he can't have no money at all, so... I was thinking that since we have so many workers, we can save money quickly every month, so we won't have enough money to spend.
, who would have known that his partner would do that. She has to have thirty-six legs to get married. If she doesn’t speak loudly, how can there be so many things... Wuwuwu... You think it’s easy for me to be in charge! You all, one by one,
I wake up in the morning and go to work as soon as my butt is slapped. I come back at night and cry out that I am hungry and want to eat. I have to worry about whatever is lacking at home..."
Xu Aiguo frowned: "Since you think it's hard to manage money, then I will do it from now on!"
"..."
The noise and crying in the room suddenly stopped.
Xu Yin: "..."
This is really not my fault.
This momentum completely exceeded her expectations, and even she didn't expect it to be easy.
But I have to say that her father's move was very impressive.
