She now has more than 700 yuan in her hand.
If I sell this job, I can probably get a thousand dollars.
In other words, I just need to earn a thousand or so yuan.
More than a thousand is not a lot in the 21st century, but it is a lot in this era.
According to the current salary level, you may have to go without food and drink for several years to save that much.
Song Anan hadn't been here for a while, and the old customers had been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Song Anan coming, they were very excited.
"Cousin, you are here, come in and sit down."
After bringing Song Anan into the house and closing the door, the old customer immediately asked, "Sister, what do you have today?"
Song Anan reported the goods, which were roughly the same as last time.
This old customer ordered two pounds of meat, a chicken, and some food.
Song Anan continued to run to the next store and made several shipments in this way.
After these few trips of cargo, I earned a total of 63 yuan, which is almost equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary city worker.
If we continue at this pace and make a few more trips, we will soon be able to raise enough money to treat Lu Jianhua's leg.
Song Anan was just about to finish the shipment and go find Wang Xiaomei.
But at this moment, an old couple walked past her, looking very sad.
Song Anan overheard them saying, "Hey, this watch is really not worth tinkering with.
There is no watch ticket, the price is too expensive.
Why do you think our boy has to fall for that girl Li Xiaoju?
The Li family is a ruthless bunch. They even demanded a bicycle and a watch as a betrothal gift, or they would not marry their daughter off. It would be better to take our lives.”
The person who spoke was an old lady, and from her tone one could tell that she had a lot of prejudices.
Song Anan smiled inwardly. She was quite happy when she was raising her son, but she complained about the hardship and tiredness when she got married. Then why did she prefer boys to girls in the first place?
It’s better to have a daughter so that you don’t have to worry about the bride price.
She didn't even think about it. It's not easy for others to raise a girl. Isn't it normal to prepare a betrothal gift? Is she marrying someone else's girl to someone else's family just because she doesn't want to make money?
The old man's attitude was more serious. He sighed and said, "You can't say that. We need a lot in the city. We have to prepare all the four major items.
If someone only asks for two, it’s not considered excessive.
Besides, once the things are given away, they are left at the mother's home, so why don't they be brought to our home?
Our son can use the bicycle in the future, but when we marry a girl, we just give her a watch.
Since your requirements are not too high, it is only natural to buy one for you."
When Song Anan heard what the old man said, she praised him in her heart again.
This old man is quite sensible.
If the couple are like this, the girl would rather not marry into the family.
The old lady snorted, "That's easy to say, but you still need money to buy it, right?
My family still has bicycle tickets, and a bicycle costs 120 yuan.
But without a watch ticket, this black watch costs two hundred yuan each, and you have to use connections to get it.
The two together cost more than three hundred.
If you put in a few more things, you can get a wedding for a hundred dollars.
You know how well off we are. How can we compare with those who are better off?
If all our sons marry like this, we might as well die.”
The old man said helplessly, "Then what do you say we should do? Your son likes her, so you really don't want to marry her? If you are stingy with money, then you can only marry a country girl. A few dozen dollars is enough. It costs so much to marry a girl in the city."
As soon as she saw her husband propose to marry his daughter-in-law from the countryside, she immediately became unhappy.
"How can we do this? If we marry a country girl, won't our neighbors laugh at us?"
