Don't think that Liu Chunhua kept Jiang Zao and asked her opinion on the betrothal gift.
She didn't really want to hear opinions. Firstly, she wanted to feel out the third brother's attitude. Second, she wanted to inform the third brother of her thoughts and eliminate any ideas before he had any.
What happened to the boss must not happen again.
Liu Chunhua didn't say anything after Jiang Zao spoke.
Jiang Dashan blushed and slapped the table with his thick palm. The enamel tea tray shook, and the transparent glass cups with several circles of yellow tea stains collided with each other, and the water inside spilled out.
"What's wrong with it? Can your parents still harm you?"
"You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is when you're dating. You've grown wings, haven't you? You're helping the Xiao family before you even get married. We've raised you for nothing!"
"Look at your eldest sister. She argued with your mother about the little bit of betrothal money. Now that she's married and someone is holding her hostage, does she still have the nerve to come back and ask for help from her family?"
"Even if she comes back, why would your second brother and his wife help her? They're so calculating over a small amount of betrothal money that they've even lost all their favors."
Don't think that he is scolding Jiang Xing. This is called scolding someone indirectly and threatening him at the same time.
If you don't listen, you will be like your elder sister. You will be bullied by your husband's family and you won't be ashamed to come back. Even if you are shameless enough to come back, no one will help you.
Just throw this kind of talk on the street and fool a three-year-old child.
If Jiang Zao still believes it, he is a fool.
She has thoughts in her mind, but they don't show on her face at all.
It was the 1970s, and the units and career paths were fixed. For soldiers to get promoted, they had to examine their wives' family backgrounds and whether their backgrounds were clean. If someone wrote a letter of accusation and found some clues, it was basically confirmed.
Why didn't she turn against her family immediately? Because she was a member of the Lao Jiang family, and her name was still registered with the rest of the Lao Jiang family on the household registration book!
If she fails to handle the Jiang family well, her background will be bad, and Xiao Shuisheng will also be affected.
In his previous life, Xiao Shuisheng was forced to change his career because of the false case created by Jiang Shan.
It must never happen again.
Jiang Zao waited for Jiang Dashan to finish scolding him, then sighed, "Dad, Mom, you misunderstood me."
"I don't mean to sever ties with my family. Listen to me and then judge whether I'm right or not."
The meal had just finished, but the taste of meat and vegetables was still lingering in Liu Chunhua's mouth.
The filial piety and protection shown to her by the third brother at the dinner table, as well as the vanishing cream he had applied to her some time ago, were all within their shelf life.
Liu Chunhua still had some patience: "Speak."
Jiang Zao said what he had prepared in advance: "The Xiao family is rich and lives a good life. Compared with our family, one is as good as the other."
"What Mom wants is just a drop in the bucket for their family. Maybe they can get more from rewards than what we want."
Liu Chunhua nodded: "That's right."
Jiang Zao glanced at Liu Chunhua awkwardly: "Eh..."
"Because of my mother, Xiao Shuisheng's mother has always disliked me. Jiang Shan has been gossiping about me in front of his mother, making her dislike me even more. If I hadn't gone out with my master to make flower buns a few days ago and earned a hundred yuan, his mother would have chosen to accept me if she hadn't seen my ability on the spot."
Oh my goodness, I can earn 50 yuan by making flower buns, which is a month’s worth of money for an adult in one day!
Jiang Dashan swallowed hard and said, "Why are you telling me about what happened a few days ago now?"
Jiang Zao took out five big unity money notes from his pocket and gave them to Liu Chunhua: "Mom, I planned to tell you this after you came back. This is money for the family, the money your daughter earned."
Five great unity!
Oh my God, when did Liu Chunhua receive so much money at once? She was instantly dazzled.
Jiang Zao took advantage of her happiness and hurriedly said, "I think our family doesn't need to ask for any betrothal money or things. If we ask for them, the Xiao family will look down on us and they will be wary of me, thinking I'm moving everything home."
"The matter between the second brother and the younger brother has not been made clear, and everyone knows it in their hearts. Who knows how they might laugh at us behind our backs, but this is not the most terrifying thing."
"Why don't you just take the betrothal money as mother asked, and then leave it all to me, and use it on me. When I make money in the future and have money in hand, I can give it back to my family."
"Let's be good people first, be sensible people, and be people with progressive ideas!"
"When I give money to the family as a subsidy, even if the Xiao family is not happy, we are still right. My daughter earns her own salary and didn't ask for a betrothal gift. Your family is rich and powerful, so why can't you let us take it?"
"Why make things so awkward with my eldest sister's family? If we have a good relationship with the Xiao family, we can gain something, but if we don't, we might offend them."
After Jiang Zao threw a series of mixed punches, Liu Chunhua and Jiang Dashan both felt that it made a lot of sense and could not find any ground for rebuttal.
This was mainly due to Jiang Zao handing over 50 yuan at once.
The warmth burned Liu Chunhua's heart, and like a big broom, it swept away all her fatigue.
The girl is capable and has ideas, so why should she worry about not having money in the future?
Liu Chunhua put the money in her pocket and said, "I think what you said makes sense. The third child has grown up and knows how to help his parents with their plans."
"Better than your eldest sister. She only knows how to focus on what's in front of her and try to please her in-laws. She's only been married for a short time. Apart from coming back to help your second brother at his wedding, she's simply disappeared since then."
Jiang Dashan was sitting there, and his state was different from just now.
He felt a bit awesome: "I haven't been home recently. I didn't bring back even a single onion for the autumn harvest, nor did I come back to work. Some time ago, the third child gave the family two yuan for charcoal."
have to!
What else can I say? Comparing the two girls, Jiang Zao is miles ahead of Jiang Xing.
Liu Chunhua: "I gave Jiang Jun about ten yuan a while ago."
All in all, the third child is quite good to the family.
"Tell Xiao Shuisheng that we don't want a cent of the betrothal gift his family gave you, and your mother will also give you 20 as a small gift when you get married."
Jiang Zao nodded and said softly, "Thank you, mother. I'll go boil some water and put it in the pot. You can take a bath whenever you feel energetic to relieve your fatigue."
Boiling water doesn’t cost money, and if you give someone a little bit of sweetness when they need help the most, the effect will be increased a hundredfold.
Liu Chunhua's eyes softened: "Go ahead."
"When you get married, I'll make a pair of slippers for your mother-in-law, and when she comes, I'll serve her good tea and water, so you can marry with dignity."
She has to be a girl!
Look, you can make money and support your family at the same time.
Jiang Dashan was not as immersed in the role as Liu Chunhua. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"The third brother earned a hundred but only handed over fifty. Why don't you want the remaining fifty?"
Liu Chunhua glared at him. "What do you know? What girl wouldn't want to take some extra money from her family when she gets married? Of course the third daughter wants it too. But she wants it, but it's not the same as the eldest. She's already very good enough to give us 50. You're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. How can you expect to get more money in the future?"
