Fengmian is embarrassed and smiled.
"That family is not good at being a father or a stepmother, but the young man is good. He is tall and hardworking. I have found out everything for you. He worked full time every day last year. He was a soldier before, so he is strong. His shortcoming is that he doesn't like to talk. His personality is just like his cowardly father. He can't get anything out of him even if you hit him with three sticks. He is not responsible like a man. In general, you can't rely on him. But since you have a live-in son-in-law, this is also a benefit. You can't handle a person with a twisted mind."
Feng Mian smiled and nodded.
Xinyi: Doesn’t this person have a lot of twists and turns in his mind? I would have believed it if I hadn't met him selling tickets.
Zhang added, "I think it's good, but the money...Mianmian, tell grandma the truth, how much money did your mother leave you?"
"Not much, five hundred dollars."
Zhang did the math: 300 yuan for a watch, 150 yuan for a car, 100 kilograms of grain, 10 kilograms of pork, and 20 meters of cloth coupons...
She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, five hundred is not enough."
Feng Mian said: "I have saved a little in the past few years, and my ex-aunt also gave me fifty, so it's almost enough."
"Didn't you say you wanted to get industrial tickets on the black market? They're so expensive."
"Let's talk about it later. If we can't get a suitable price, we can just give them the money."
"Just give the money and don't even think about bringing anything back. That would be a huge loss." Zhang frowned.
Feng Mian thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, how much did Sister Feng Zheng's family spend on recruiting a live-in son-in-law?"
"They bought a car and a watch for their son-in-law. They loved him and bought them for him. But they brought them back, so it wasn't a loss. They also bought a sewing machine, which your sister Fengzheng uses. Although the money was spent, it's all in their own home."
Their family was one of the top three richest families in Fengjia Village, and they were naturally generous.
"Besides these, what else can we give to my brother-in-law's family?"
"On the day she was taken away, they sent a fat pig's hind leg, and bought a set of clothes for her mother-in-law and her husband's mother. I didn't ask how much food they gave her, but I guess it was about a hundred kilograms. I saw her father carrying a load on his back to get food."
Feng Mian estimated that a fat pig's hind leg weighed at least 20 kilograms and two meters of cloth, and there wouldn't be much left after making two sets of clothes.
But a hundred kilograms of food is really a lot.
Since this is the price Feng Zheng’s family is offering for a son-in-law, it’s probably about right.
The trap was that Liang wanted to keep the money from buying his car and watch.
Zhang sighed, "If you take him home, you will be penniless. How will you live for the whole year?"
"It will be fine by next spring, and we can borrow grain from the production team."
Zhang was so worried that she kept shaking her head, but it was not easy to find a stepmother and foster parent in the surrounding villages, and she really liked the young man. It's a bit expensive, but still worth it.
"Well, just know what's going on."
At noon, Feng Mian wanted to keep Zhang at home for lunch, but she refused to do so no matter what. After much effort to persuade her, he ran away when she went into the house to cook.
In fact, Feng Mian knew clearly that her grandmother knew how hard it was for her, and by not eating this bite, she could save another bite.
Feng Mian felt uncomfortable, and after thinking for a while, she took out the bag of white sugar that the matchmaker had given her a few days ago, and quickly placed an order for tea, then she started to chase after him.
Even though Zhang was over ten years old, her legs were very agile. She had to almost chase her to Shangyuanzi Village before she caught up with her.
"Oh, I said I don't want to eat."
Feng Mian stuffed two packages into her arms.
"Grandma, keep this bag of candy for drinking with water, and the tea leaves are for grandma."
Feng Mian knew that his grandfather loved to drink tea, but ever since he injured his leg, he became a burden to the family. How could he drink tea?
Zhang was surprised: "Where did you get these precious things?"
