Jiang Haitang still had two bright slap marks on her face. She lowered her head and sat on the low stool opposite him. "Dad, I'm listening."
"I heard that the educated youth from the neighboring county have already returned to the city. I'm sure ours will be soon too. When you go back with Duan Ze, you'll be a city dweller. The first thing you should do when you get there is to quickly ask your in-laws to send the betrothal gifts. Do you understand?"
Jiang Meng rubbed his hands together, his eyes narrowed and a gleam of light flashed in them.
Although Duan Ze was frightened by being beaten today and agreed to marry the second girl, he didn't have much money on him, let alone the betrothal gift, so he kept asking his family to raise the money immediately.
Therefore, the first thing to do when returning to the city this time is to quickly pay the betrothal gift.
Jiang Haitang looked a little embarrassed and hesitant, "Dad, the betrothal gift is 800 yuan, plus a 28-inch truck, but where is my dowry?"
Jiang Meng jumped up as if his foot had been hit, and started cursing, "Shameless bitch, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already turning your elbows outward! What dowry? I'm telling you, there's not a cent!"

"Captain Lu said the betrothal gift is 2,000 yuan, and if he's in a good mood, he can buy a TV."
Jiang Meng groaned and slapped his thigh, his face beaming with joy. "Captain Lu is really straightforward. Big girl, you should coax him well. Our family depends on you in the future. If your brother can't get into high school, it will be difficult for him to find a job and get married in the future..."
Jiang Ningyan interrupted him and reached out to pick up some vegetables with her chopsticks. "These are not a problem. Let's talk about it after I'm full."
Jiang Meng didn't dare to disagree, and his fat face was grinning so hard that his teeth were showing.
He Qiuju was quick-witted and peeled three eggs for Jiang Ningyan in a row, fearing that she would not be full.
In the past, fresh vegetables and eggs were exclusively for Jiang Yaozu.
After dinner, Jiang Ningyan put down her bowl and chopsticks and strolled in the yard.
Through a fence, I suddenly heard two people whispering outside.
