Zhu Laoer was also listening with a slumped face, knowing that this was just like his own contract of betrayal.
When it came to giving food, Captain Tian said: "Girl, I am in charge here. It is not easy for Brother Zhu to raise a child. I will give you 200 jins of corn when you get engaged, and 200 jins of corn when you get married. Just write it like this."
Zhu Tiezhu raised his head and saw that this one was different from what he had promised. He declined: "Girl, how can you have so much food if you live alone?"
Captain Tian was very open in his approach: "The whole village owes its small team to survive the famine. With the two of us in the team, we can't let the children go hungry and have to worry about an extra piece of paper."
The meaning is very clear. The Tian family will be covered by their team in the future, so the Zhu family does not need to worry about it.
Turning his face, Captain Tian spoke again: "But it's the same. Will the young couple live well in the future? If the etiquette is not enough, brother and sister-in-law should not pick up gifts. Since we are recruiting a bride, we will follow the rules.
Go as if you are looking for a bride."
Captain Tian did this extremely well, which is equivalent to saying that from now on, it is a favor for Mr. Zhu to show filial piety to the old couple. If he is not filial, he cannot ask for gifts.
The village recruits a son just like a daughter, so the Zhu family must not mess around with him in the future. Moreover, this must be written in the receipt.
Captain Tian didn't want Tian Tian to get too close to the Zhu family, so he followed Zhu Laoer's wishes and added such a clause.
Zhu Laoer's eyelids jumped. Although he said this, after a night of settling down, he was no longer so excited, so he regretted his words.
While I was thinking that his parents couldn't agree, I was also thinking that if they agreed, they would have nothing to do with him in the future.
I turned around and saw my mother. Her face was red with excitement because of a hundred kilograms of grain. She didn't care what she would do in the future. That's right. Isn't it because Boss Zhu was there to take care of her in old age? My heart dropped again.
Thinking about such a family, there is no nostalgia for him. He will definitely live well in the future. Even if he has a good thing and throws it away, it will not benefit Mr. Zhu. Looking at Aunt Zhu and Mr. Zhu’s face, it is difficult to look good.
.
In Zhu Laoer's view, giving things to Zhu Tiezhu and his wife is the same as giving things to Zhu Lao Er.
Zhu Tiezhu was about to speak, but Aunt Zhu stopped him. Gaba who agreed simply said: "Chinese"
People in the village started to exchange their sons for grains early in the morning. Aunt Zhu is just a broken pot, so she should exchange more for her.
When I see my second son's desolate look, I feel angry. Who are we showing off to? It's a vicious cycle for the two of us.
The people in the room were all from Shanggang Village. They were all quiet after hearing Aunt Zhu's words, thinking that Aunt Zhu was very cruel.
He looked at the second child of the Zhu family with sympathy, it was really not easy for him, and recruiting him was a way out. Otherwise, according to the attitude of the Zhu family towards his son, this child would have to be supported by their boss at home for the rest of his life.
Captain Tian: "One more thing, brother, I believe you, but the children are still young and there is no certainty. What if we break off the engagement? The girl is honest here and I can make the decision. What about my brother's side?
.”
Zhu Tiezhu knew that Captain Tian was a good person, so he was just in case his family got through this difficult time and they broke off the engagement. How could they talk about the children?
Aunt Zhu didn't wait for Zhu Tiezhu to speak, and agreed: "This is impossible. If we really break off the engagement, then our family will get back all the betrothal gifts."
This was said in a tough tone, but Captain Tian didn't say anything, because he was dissatisfied.
Accountant Zhu looked at his cousin-in-law and said that she was not stupid. If it hadn't been for the drought and she could have scraped together 200 jins or 400 jins of grain, it would still be possible. Don't be clever.
He opened his mouth to discuss with Captain Tian: "Captain, do you have any idea about this matter?"
Zhu Tiezhu then spoke: "Getting married is a good thing. I only want to let the two children have a good life. But the captain is right. The children are still young and their stability is not good. What do you say? I listen to the captain."
Captain Tian: "You shouldn't say this when it comes to a good life, but we are also doing it for the good of our children. We hope that they will last forever. Just treat it as a joke. If the girl makes a fuss and breaks off the engagement, I will give your family another two thousand kilograms of food.
If my family regrets it, I will accompany my girl’s family with two thousand kilograms of grain. Brother, do you think so?”
Aunt Zhu's face turned red from holding back: "Two thousand catties is not too much." After saying this, everyone in the room fell silent.
Aunt Zhu's face turned red and she knew she shouldn't accept these words. But two thousand kilograms was really too much. If the engagement were to be broken off in the future, where would she get such much food?
To be honest, although she felt sorry for her son and planned to divorce her second son later, she couldn't bear it if it cost two thousand catties. She might as well give her second son to someone else.
Captain Tian's face turned pale: "Dear, this is what your family is going to do. What the hell, sister-in-law, you really want to ruin the marriage and give me two thousand catties of food. Since you don't expect the two children to be well, why do you decide?"
Aunt Zhu Nuonuo was speechless. Zhu Tiezhu said cruelly: "Just write as the captain said and I will sign."
If they want to go back on their word now, they, the old Zhu family, will no longer have to live in the village. Isn't it obvious that they are exchanging their son for food and are ready to go back on their word later?
Captain Tian is a little regretful that this marriage can still happen. Lao Zhu's family is so cruel, they really don't plan to have a son.
Look at Zhu Lao Er: "Lao Er, do you have any objections?"
Zhu Lao Er saw it and his parents were determined to kick him out. They stared at Aunt Zhu and said three words: "No objection." It was as if he had lost if his words were not as clear as what Aunt Zhu said.
Even though I stood up, I said the three words clearly.
What I figured out yesterday is blocked again today. I am running wildly on the road of rebellion.
Accountant Zhu wrote the two copies and began to sign.
Captain Tian signed, Accountant Zhu signed, Zhu Tiezhu and his wife both signed, and the one who couldn't write had his thumbprint.
Captain Tian called Tian Ye into the room and held the note: "Girl, will you read it to me?"
Tian Tian responded simply: "No, I will listen to uncle."
Accountant Zhu carefully said that if the girl signed the contract of sale, she would probably sign it. In two years, when the girl grows up and causes trouble in the village, she will definitely be a die-hard supporter of Captain Tian in the village.
Tian Ye couldn't write and felt embarrassed when everyone looked at him. Zhu Laoer took the pen and said with a cold face: "I'll write for you." He didn't regard himself as an outsider.
After speaking, he looked up at Tianye. Captain Tian also looked at Tianye. Tianye knew that no one knew his name: "Yeye"
Captain Tian blushed slightly and said with a sigh: "I have been greeting you for so many years, but I have forgotten your name?"
Tian Ye: "When my dad was here, he called me yatou. I don't know if my dad gave me a name in the first place. Everyone calls me ya girl, just Tian Tian. I'll remember it if it's anything else."
Accountant Zhu: “It’s good not to forget our roots.”
Captain Tian didn't say anything.
As he spoke, he put a red handprint on the word "Tian Ye" written by Zhu Lao Er. The most eye-catching thing on the two pieces of paper was the large red handprints at the back. Tian Tian was emotional, but Zhu Lao Er should be even more emotional.
