After Qin Huairu thanked Aunt Wang, she turned around and looked at Teacher Liu and said, "I have already found someone to make ends meet. Sunday next week will be a good day. It will be best for you two to get married then."
"Next week's Sunday, time seems a bit tight. But that's okay, I don't have any relatives to begin with."
Teacher Liu saw Qin Huairu taking such initiative. As a man, she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she thought for a moment and said.
"Great, let's set the time for Sunday next week." Qin Huairu turned around and said, "Now that the time has been set, we should be able to move on to the next step."
Teacher Liu was a little confused when he heard this.
Qin Huairu explained: "Of course it's about holding a wedding. Teacher Liu, although my in-laws are a little older, she is marrying you openly now, so we can't not even hold a wedding."
Before Teacher Li spoke, Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Qin Huairu is right. She is not a concubine, so she must hold a wedding."
Teacher Liu also nodded.
After all, it doesn’t cost much to hold a wedding in this year and month, and you can also receive a share of the money, and maybe even earn a little bit.
Qin Huairu continued: "Now that the streets are advocating thrift and thrift, weddings can be simpler, but according to our rules, Teacher Liu, you should give our family a betrothal gift before holding the wedding."
Upon hearing the bride price, Teacher Liu's face turned ugly.
After he confirmed the person to talk to Jia Zhang, her plan was to marry Jia Zhang back directly. At most, he would set up a banquet and treat relatives and friends to a meal.
Now not only did he need to organize a wedding banquet, but he also had to give a bride price, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
Aunt Wang whispered from the side: "Nowadays, when older girls get married, they will give a certain amount of gifts. Although Jia and Zhang are a bit old, they are also family members. I saw the gift from Teacher Liu, and you really should give it."
"
Teacher Liu was now forced into a corner and could only nod his head and said: "I will give you a gift. But how much gift will you give?"
Qin Huairu glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's not much, only fifty yuan."
But as soon as the figure of fifty yuan came out, Teacher Liu's face became ugly.
Aunt Wang, who had been speaking for Qin Huairu just now, was silent now.
It’s a joke. Nowadays, young girls only need a gift of four or five yuan when they get married. Qin Huairu suddenly needs a gift of fifty yuan. Doesn’t this mean that Teacher Liu is being taken advantage of?
Aunt Wang whispered: "Is Qin Huairu's gift too much? You also know that life is not easy for everyone nowadays. The average salary of an average person is only twenty or thirty yuan. You want a gift of fifty yuan all at once.
Why does it feel like blackmailing someone?"
When Qin Huairu heard this, she said calmly: "Can my parents-in-law be the same as ordinary little girls? Even though she is old, she has rich life experience. What do those little girls know? Besides, she is old.
Yes, my parents-in-law are very good at picking up shoe soles.
She even cooks delicious dishes at home. After she gets married, Teacher Liu is looking forward to living a good life."
Don't tell me, although Qin Huairu's words may sound a bit unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
Jia Zhang's main theme is an older girl who has life experience and can care for others, which is something that those young girls cannot compare with.
Aunt Wang thought about it carefully, scratched her head and said, "According to what you said, it makes sense."
"What's the point? The little girl only needs four or five yuan as a gift, but the dowry is even more expensive than the little girl?" Teacher Liu was unwilling to be taken advantage of at this time.
Aunt Wang quickly persuaded her: "Don't worry, Old Liu. It's not easy for you to marry a wife at your age. Besides, the family's conditions are quite good. I heard that she is from the third generation of common people.
After you marry someone, you won't be bullied in our compound in the future."
"No matter how good your family background is, it's not worth fifty yuan. Isn't it obvious that you want to bully me?"
Teacher Liu is not a fool. He knows very well that the reason why Qin Huairu came to the door eagerly today is to ask for this gift.
If Qin Huairu's wish was granted, he would have no choice but to let Qin Huairu suck blood from now on.
Looking at the furious Teacher Liu, Qin Huairu continued calmly: "Teacher Liu, you are still confused. Now you are alone and carefree. No matter how much money you have, you will not be able to do it when you get old.
No one will take care of you until you die."
This sentence speaks to the heart of Teacher Liu. Although Teacher Liu is a cultural person, as a person who came from before liberation, she still upholds the old ideas.
It will be a great regret in life if there is no one to take care of him when he gets old. In fact, this is also the biggest reason why Teacher Liu agreed to marry Jia Zhang.
Teacher Liu said angrily: "Qin Huairu, even if I marry Jia Zhang, will someone be able to take care of me until I die?"
"Don't tell me it's true." After Qin Huairu saw that Teacher Liu's attention had been attracted, she continued: "You may also know that I have a son and a daughter.
When you marry Jia and Zhang, they will be your grandson and granddaughter.
If you marry Jia Zhang, you will have a grandson and a granddaughter at the same time. Do you think that in this case, a bride price of fifty yuan is still too much?"
As soon as these words came out, Teacher Liu's expression suddenly changed.
That's right, didn't he have grandchildren and granddaughters after he married Jia Zhang?
When he gets old, his grandchildren and granddaughters will support him in his old age. This deal is so cost-effective.
Although the gift money was a bit high, Teacher Liu decided to agree to Qin Huairu's request for the sake of his grandson and granddaughter.
He took out fifty yuan from the cabinet and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Qin Huairu, this is the gift money. Now the gift money has been given to you. You can go."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Qin Huairu got the bride price, she did not leave, but continued: "Teacher Liu, you and my parents-in-law are getting married soon. This is a great event.
, a wedding banquet will be held at that time. Because you are in love at dusk, the leaders of the street office may also attend.
The scene will be very grand at that time. In such a scene, will my parents-in-law have to wear two new clothes?"
This time, before Qin Huailu could explain further, Teacher Liu nodded: "Okay. I'll buy new clothes for Jia Zhang."
"What do you, a grown man, know? You should give me the money and let me buy it for Jia Zhang." Qin Huairu stared at Teacher Liu closely.
Teacher Liu was forced by her to have no choice but to turn around, take out some more money from the cabinet, and then hand the cloth coupons to Qin Huairu.
After Qin Huairu won the victory, she left Teacher Liu's home with satisfaction.
She looked at Aunt Wang next to her and said, "When my parents-in-law get married, you still have to be good neighbors."
Aunt Wang thought of Qin Huairu's behavior at Teacher Liu's house just now and was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble.
This woman is a vampire. She just said a few words and took away nearly a hundred yuan from Teacher Liu's house.
Her parents-in-law are definitely not good people. If she really marries into the compound, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the compound.
In this day and age, everyone lives in large courtyards, and it is normal for neighbors to help each other.
The atmosphere in the compound is very good. Anyone who has no time to cook or has no time to cook can go to the neighbor's house for dinner or is busy with work. You can also leave your children to the neighbor's care.
The reason why the courtyard is relatively chaotic is because the Jia family makes trouble there all day long.
Aunt Wang is the steward of the match factory compound.
Naturally, she couldn't just watch the compound being thrown into chaos, so she decided to investigate the Jia Zhang family.
At this time, Qin Huairu didn't know what Aunt Wang was thinking, so she took the money and went directly to the tailor shop.
Of course, Qin Huairu was not willing to spend all the money to make new clothes for Jia Zhang. Instead, she made one, and then made another for Jia Zhang.
After Qin Huairu returned home, she gave the new clothes to Jia Zhang and twenty-five yuan.
After Jia Zhang learned what happened, she praised Qin Huairu for his ability.
After Qin Huairu put on new clothes, she said with some pride: "Don't worry, after you get married, the two of us will find a way to empty out everything in Teacher Liu's house. I just went there and found out everything."
Yes, Teacher Liu’s family has a lot of money.”
Jia Zhang nodded heavily and said: "Qin Huairu, I agree with you. Teacher Liu's family has so much money, and he can't spend it all by himself. Our family is so poor, and if she doesn't give us some, then he has no conscience.
.”
In Jia Zhang's view, this is her real home. After all, Banggeng in her family is her dearest grandson. She wants to save a sum of money for Banggeng to do a big career.
Bangge and Huang Yanling were both extremely excited after hearing the news.
Their family's life is almost unbearable now.
Now with the help of Teacher Liu, we are finally out of the crisis.
But they didn't know that Aunt Wang had already held a plenary meeting in the match factory compound.
Teacher Liu was also called to attend the conference.
After everyone had arrived, Aunt Wang faced the residents of the match factory and said loudly: "The reason why we gathered all of you together today despite our busy schedule is because a big event happened in our compound. You may
I also know that Teacher Liu in our compound is getting married soon."
Hearing this, the residents nodded one after another.
"Teacher Liu is old, and she has been single all these years. It is a good thing that she is getting married."
"Yes, yes, she is so old, someone should take care of her."
"Aunt Wang held this meeting to help Teacher Liu, right? I was the first to raise my hand to sign up."
Hearing the residents' comments, Aunt Wang lowered her hands to quiet them down, and then continued: "The reason why the meeting was held today is because I think there is something wrong with the woman that Teacher Liu is going to marry."
Later, Aunt Wang told Qin Huairu's performance.
After listening to the whole process, the residents also frowned. They felt that Qin Huairu was a little too powerful.
Why is he here to be a matchmaker for his parents-in-law? He is simply a vampire.
Aunt Wang said loudly: "We all know that the peace in our compound over the years has been hard-won. If the daughter-in-law married by Teacher Liu is the same as Qin Huairu, then there will never be peace in our compound, so I
Decided to investigate the background of the pretense."
The residents nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes. I have never seen someone as shameless as Qin Huairu, who actually took the initiative to ask for a bride price from his parents-in-law."
"She is already old and she still needs to wear new clothes. Let me see, she must have worn those new clothes herself."
"Qin Huairu is so unreasonable, her parents-in-law must not be much better."
"We must make it clear that we cannot allow a morally corrupt person to enter the compound of our match factory."
The residents all nodded in agreement. Aunt Wang turned her head and looked at Teacher Liu: "Old Liu, what do you think?"
Aunt Wang seemed to be asking Teacher Liu, but in fact she wanted to reach an agreement with Teacher Liu.
That is, if Master Jia Zhang is as morally corrupt as Qin Huairu, Teacher Liu will sever ties with Master Jia Zhang.
Otherwise, even Teacher Liu wouldn't be tolerated in the compound.
Aunt Wang's approach may seem a bit domineering, but this is her right as the steward.
In fact, Teacher Liu also woke up after Qin Huairu left.
Don't look at Qin Huairu who keeps saying that she wants her son and daughter to be her grandchildren.
But Teacher Liu doesn’t believe that when she gets old, will these people really be able to provide for her until the end of her life?
Teacher Liu felt that the probability of these people driving her out of the house and under the overpass would be even higher.
Therefore, Teacher Liu also agrees with Aunt Wang’s approach.
Teacher Liu also made a suggestion: "This marriage was first introduced to me by the third uncle of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Primary School. The third uncle lives in the same compound as Jia Zhang. You can go to the third uncle.
The uncle asked about Jia Zhang's situation."
Aunt Wang waved her hand and said: "Teacher Liu, I have to say something bad, you are really a nerd. That third uncle, she can introduce Jia Zhang to you, do you think she will tell you Jia Zhang's confidence?
?
Besides, I think she must have gotten money from Qin Huairu.
So we need to find another person, someone who understands Siheyuan."
The compound of the match factory is quite far away from the compound of the steel-making factory. For a moment, everyone really didn't expect that there was such a person.
There were many residents in the compound, and at night someone provided useful information.
The son of the Liu family next door works in a large steel factory.
Although she does not live in the compound of a large steel factory.
However, she knew Liu Guangfu who worked in the new workshop.
Liu Guangfu lived in the compound of the steel rolling mill for many years.
After getting the news, Aunt Wang, with the help of Xiao Liu, came to the place where Liu Guangfu lived overnight.
Liu Guangfu had already got off work at this time. He had finished dinner and was preparing to take a rest.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Liu Guangfu opened the door.
Liu Guangfu felt a little strange when he saw Xiao Liu and a strange old woman standing outside.
"Xiao Liu, what are you doing here so late? And who is this lady?"
