Dai Yuchan was just as I remembered, very timid, and she always stood behind the matchmaker and spoke in a low voice.
Han Weimin thought that a girl like this would definitely be bullied if she fell into a powerful family, so he patiently asked her a few questions.
Dai Yuchan did ask and answer questions, but she would never ask questions on her own initiative.
The matchmaker and An Qionglan were very considerate. They went out to the yard to talk, leaving the living room to the two young people.
"Comrade Dai, is there anything you want to know from me?" Han Weimin asked softly, fearing that his louder voice would scare the other person.
Dai Yuchan thought for a while before asking, "If I get married, do I have to leave my hometown?"
She had never traveled far before, and had a kind of anticipation and worry about distant places.
"Yes, our railway bureau has staff dormitories."
"If you are married, you can apply to live in the family compound." Han Weimin responded.
"How much do you earn every month?"
"I have 23 yuan a month, which includes ten kilograms of grain coupons, five kilograms of meat coupons, three feet of cloth coupons and an industrial coupon," Han Weimin said truthfully.
This salary is not high, but for Dai Yuchan, it is already very high.
She asked cautiously, "I only have an elementary school education and I don't have a job. Do you mind?"
"Won't."
Han Weimin responded decisively, which surprised Dai Yuchan a little.
Her neighbor's son worked as a salesman in the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune. He always felt superior to others. She didn't expect that this gay man didn't despise her.
"I myself only studied two years longer than you, so why should I mind you?"
"Comrade Dai, what is your impression of me?"
Dai Yuchan thought about this question seriously, and after a while she answered: "Your voice is very gentle, gentler than any boy I know."
Han Weimin's face turned red. He was afraid that speaking loudly would scare the girl, but he didn't know that he would leave such an impression on her.
Dai Yuchan just drank some tea and ate some snacks at Han's house and was about to go back.
She didn't want to eat at someone else's house. After all, no one's rice was blown by the wind.
After watching them leave, An Qionglan quickly asked her son, "How do you feel?"
"A very nice girl."
"Mom, ask the matchmaker to ask her what she thinks. If there is no problem, I want to finalize the marriage."
An Qionglan was overjoyed, and the mother and son agreed that if the other party agreed to marry, they would give a dowry of 50 yuan and also buy him two new sets of clothes.
The previous plan was to prepare a big item for each son's marriage. Currently, the family only has one bicycle, which would be gone if it was given away, so An Qionglan planned to discuss it this way first.
The next day, the matchmaker told her that if they were to get married, she hoped for a dowry of 100 yuan, or 50 yuan plus a bicycle.
An Qionglan understood that the other person was interested in their bicycle.
She originally thought that the other family was honest, but now she thinks she was overthinking.
Dai Yuchan has two younger brothers at home. If they don't take the opportunity to ask for more, how can they earn money for the bride price for her two brothers?
An Qionglan was unwilling to give so much, and so was Han Weimin.
The marriage was at a standstill. Seeing that Han Weimin was about to go to work, the matchmaker hurriedly relayed the Dai family's conditions, "They said that they would get married if they gave thirty yuan and the bicycle."
The bicycle was Fengzhi's gift. Han Weimin was reluctant to give it to someone else and had never even ridden it. It was even more impossible for him to give it as a gift to someone else.
He admitted that he had a good impression of Dai Yuchan, but that was not a reason his family could ask him to do anything.
Han Weimin hasn't gotten married in all these years, so it doesn't matter if he gets married in a short while.
In the end, Han Weimin boarded the train to the Railway Bureau, and his marriage with Dai Yuchan ended in failure.
The matchmaker often cursed the Dai family behind their backs for being ungrateful, asking for too much, and saying that they were selling their daughter instead of marrying her off.
They had said before that they hoped their child would find someone honest and didn't need good conditions. Now she realized that the Dai family wanted to find someone honest, the kind that was easy to cheat, and at the same time prepare the betrothal gifts for the two unmarried men in their family.
An Qionglan was very angry and felt like her efforts were in vain.
She also realized how wrong it was to have wanted to keep Han Fengzhi's two big items.
Only when it happened to her did she feel angry.
On the night Han Weimin left for work, Dai Yuchan jumped into the river.
She was forced into this by her family.
Her mother told her that she had to insist on getting the bicycle before she would agree to marry her.
Grandma told her that Han Weimin looked honest and kind, and as long as he liked her, he would definitely agree to their family's request in the end.
Finally, what she waited for was the news that Han Weimin went to work.
They probably never will.
She missed a gentle boy.
After Dai Yuchan was rescued, she was unconscious for a day and a night before waking up.
The Dai family asked the Han family to take responsibility. Just then, Han Zhushan and Han Weixian came back. They were not pushovers, so they just took the tools and drove the people away.
“Mom, what kind of blind date are you looking for?” Han Weixian frowned.
"How would I know that they had installed it before?" An Qionglan was still frightened.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Weimin's marriage is over. As long as he is willing to go on blind dates, he will find a partner sooner or later."
Dai Yuchan woke up and found out that her family was making a fuss.
