Chapter 304 Negotiating Conditions

Ai Xiaoping was silent for a while before she said, "Dad, I have to save some money for my dowry. My family won't give me a penny for dowry, so I must have some dowry, otherwise I will be bullied when I go to my husband's house."

Ai Weimin couldn't say no. After all, he really didn't have the money for a dowry. "When you can make money, you have to take care of us. I'm your biological father. Otherwise, this matter will never be resolved."

Ai Xiaoping could only nod and say, "Okay, but the amount depends on how much you earn." She thought to herself, when I go to the provincial capital to find a job, you won't be able to find me.

"Okay, then when will you go to school?" Ai Weimin asked.

"I'll go tomorrow. My sister said it's better to go back to school early so that I can adapt to the school atmosphere as soon as possible." Ai Xiaoping said.

At this time, Ai Zhu, who was lying on the ground, was holding back his breath: "Your sister? You call her so affectionately. I thought you were sisters. Don't forget, my sister is back. Her name is Lin Mei."

Ai Xiaoping said, "I know. I don't expect to be a real sister to her. As long as she still remembers the friendship we had growing up together and is willing to lend a hand, then she is a sister in my heart. At least she is thinking about me."

Ai Zhu sat up and said, "Thinking about you? Dream on. Isn't she just using you to take revenge on us? Do you think she is really kind?"

"I know in my heart whether it's really good or not. Don't I know how she treated me over the years?" Ai Xiaoping hates Ai Zhu the most because she is too cruel. She doesn't like people like her.

"She had no choice but to join you before. Now she has a grudge against our family and is just using you to sow discord in our family." Ai Zhu never thought that Lin Xiaoxia had good intentions.

Ai Xiaoping sneered at Ai Zhu and said, "Why would they bother to pick on our family? Our family is in this state right now, so what's there to pick on? Speaking of which, my sister is helping me. When I make money in the future, I can buy things for the family, and then it might even be cheaper for you. It must be that my sister is so magnanimous and really wants to do this for my own good. Otherwise, why would she bother with these trivial matters? Isn't it better for her to use her time to make money?"

This makes sense, because no matter how much money Ai Xiaoping earns, it is likely that it will be spent by the Ai family. Lin Xiaoxia doesn't care about this and is still willing to help Ai Xiaoping. She has a broad mind.

This question silenced the people in the room.

Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned home and arrived at the building site first. A lot of buildings had been built now, and the workers were working hard. Lu Guojiu was also helping them.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law come back, Lu Guojiu was happy and a little proud. He told the people around him that his son and daughter-in-law were back.

Lin Xiaoxia followed Lu Jingshen and talked to several masters she knew, and nodded and greeted those she didn't know.

They didn't delay their work, just took a look around and went home.

Lu Guojiu didn't go back with them because he had some things to do here.

The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat and vegetables and put them in the car. Thinking that they had not had time to visit Jiang Qingru and Feng Ying, they went to the hospital.

After arriving at Jiang Qingru's office and sitting down, we chatted for a while and talked about Jiang Qingru and Feng Ying. The two families had already set a date and were waiting to hold the wedding.

Lin Xiaoxia also told Jiang Qingru about some things that her biological sister had found.

She originally wanted to go see Feng Ying, but Feng Ying was on vacation today and went home.

They didn't delay Jiang Qingru's work for too long and went home.

When they got home, Lu Jingyuan went to a classmate's house to study, while Li Shaofen and Lu Lin made snacks at home.

Seeing them come back, Lu Linte was very happy and greeted them at the door: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while."

Lu Jingshen frowned and looked at Lu Lin: "It's been a while since you last saw me."

Lin Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing when she heard what Lu Jingshen said: "Why are you so petty?"

Lu Jingshen smiled and said, "Your status at home completely crushes mine. I have no sense of existence at all now."

Li Shaofen also smiled and said, "You are not useless either. Didn't you find me such a good daughter-in-law? You also have status."

Everyone laughed as they spoke. Lin Xiaoxia went into the house, washed her hands, and helped to make the snacks. Lu Jingshen helped to mix the stuffing. Everyone talked while working, as they were all restless people.

As they were talking, they talked about uncle Lu Guoji's house. Aunt Jiang Lirong came back two days ago, and Li Shaofen wanted to go over to see her, but she didn't have time yet. She said that she would take Lu Lin and Lin Xiaoxia to see her in the afternoon, so there was no need for the men to go. After all, they were going to see Jiang Lirong, who was paralyzed in bed. If a man went, it would be inconvenient if she happened to have to pee or poop, so it would be more convenient for the women to go.

And it's enough that the idea is conveyed. They are all in the same village, so they have to go and take a look. Otherwise, the villagers will say that they are cold and indifferent. After all, it is a rural area, not a place where they can really close the door and ignore what others say. Moreover, Lu Guojiu's family will do business in the village in the future, and they can't let people say such gossip. They have to keep up appearances.

Because Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen came back to help, the snacks were prepared in advance. In the afternoon, Li Shaofen took her daughter-in-law and daughter to Lu Guoji's house.

At this time, Lu Jingshen went to the yard to help Lu Guojiu with his work.

Lu Jingyuan’s current task is to study. Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiaoxia rarely come back, so he stays in the west room. He doesn’t have to worry about anything happening here, he just needs to study.

Now they have entered the review stage, and the final period is also the sprint stage. However, he will have no problem this year, and his teachers all say that he will have no problem getting into a key high school.

Lin Xiaoxia followed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to Lu Guoji's house with gifts.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Zhang Tingting drying clothes in the yard with her bulging belly. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying. She was also very thin. Other pregnant women look plump, but she was dark and thin, and didn't look in good spirits.

Zhang Tingting looked at Lin Xiaoxia coming in with high spirits and Lu Lin who were both full of energy. Her heart sank suddenly. You know, she used to work in a hospital and got a salary every month. Her life was much better than theirs.

But things are different now. Everyone in the village knows that Lin Xiaoxia is rich and owns a hotel. Even Lu Lin's family benefits from it. I heard that Lu Guojiu is building a food factory just to bring Lu Lin's family into the business. In the future, Lu Lin will be better than herself. Zhang Tingting feels really bad.

Also, seeing Li Shaofen being nice to Lin Xiaoxia, Zhang Tingting felt uncomfortable. Her mother-in-law came back with her trouser pockets full, and she had to wash clothes even though she was pregnant.

Her husband was even more hateful. When asked to wash, he not only refused, but also said that it was the daughter-in-law's job, and then went out for a walk. Now Lu Jingxue had no job, and the supply and marketing cooperative was contracted out. Their family couldn't contract the canteen, so he was idle all day long.
