Looking at the two of them, Shen Man understood instantly.
Regarding the so-called seven dollars, Lu Zhengguo never discussed it with the Lu family.
Shen Man said calmly, "Seven dollars, but it was my own idea. If you agree, no one out there is willing to spend seven dollars."
Now a large number of high school graduates are faced with the dilemma of finding a job. If they can find a job, they can only go to the countryside, or they are willing to pay the seven yuan.
When Lu's mother heard this, she became anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, "Manman, the family does need seven hundred yuan. Look, money is needed everywhere in the family. Your father's salary every month is enough to tire him out. This family only has one hundred yuan at most."
Zhang Fengxia looked downcast and squinted at Shen Man, "Sister-in-law, I, as the eldest sister-in-law, am telling you that we are all family, why worry so much? My parents are already quite old, and as their daughter-in-law, you should also be more considerate of their hardship."
"Seven dollars, it's easy for you to say, but think about how long it will take for the family to save up this amount of money."
Mother Lu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, your sister-in-law is right, we are all family. I just spent 10 yuan to buy this piece not long ago, and now you want 7 yuan to sell it."
"Forget about the outsiders. We are a family. Hongmei even calls you sister-in-law."
"You want some? Mom will give you ten dollars, okay?"
Shen Man said calmly, "Mom, sister-in-law, I treat you as a family, so I consider Hongmei first. You can go out and ask around now to see how much one portion can be bought for."
"What's more, the benefits of the textile factory are very poor. Every month, you can get some defective materials at a low price. You can buy some of these materials at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Of course, if you think it's too expensive, you can still buy it. I'm not forcing anyone to buy it."
Zhang Fengxia was waiting for this sentence, she quickly pulled Lu's mother away, "Mom, buy it, buy it, who can afford seven yuan? If Hongmei wants to go to the countryside, just find her a husband and get married tomorrow."
"The problem has been solved, and there is even an extra dowry."
"I've already found a partner, and he's a truck driver. He'll be stable, earn a lot of money every month, and he'll be fine. What a great partner."
"If Hongmei was my aunt, I would also like to introduce this good person to her."
Shen Man listened to these words and immediately understood Zhang Fengxia's plan.
The Lu family spent money to buy Lu Hongmei a house, but she was originally very satisfied.
If you can marry your daughter off, you can not only save a lot of money, but also get a betrothal gift.
늀놊 knows what happened to the person she introduced to Lu Hongmei.
But these are none of her business. Anyway, the Lu family wants this job, and it’s up to them.
Just when Shen Man wanted to go back to her room and put down the 늵늵 in her hand.
Lu Hongmei is back.
When she came back, she heard Zhang Fengxia planning to marry her off.
Lu Hongmei became furious instantly, strode forward and pointed at Zhang Fengxia's nose and questioned her.
"Are you still my sister-in-law? You knew I didn't want to get married and wanted to go to the countryside, but you secretly persuaded my mother to marry me off."
"Zhang Fengxia, you are so mean to me. I really misjudged you. I helped you deal with your second sister-in-law. Now it seems that you are the most vicious woman in the family."
"Mom, can you listen to her? I just graduated from high school and I don't want to get married at all. I have already told my second sister-in-law that she will sell the property of the textile factory to me."
"If you dare to listen to Zhang Fengxia, I will never recognize you as my mother again."
Seeing her daughter like this, Lu's mother hurried to comfort her, "Hongmei, Mom also wants to marry you off, but the person your sister-in-law is talking about has really wrong conditions. He's a truck driver and doesn't have a house."
"Your sister-in-law has already arranged it for you. You can go and see her tomorrow morning. If you like her, getting married is fine. It's much better than working in a textile factory workshop."
Lu Hongmei pushed Lu's mother away, her eyes slightly reddened, "I know, you are willing to spend money, and you always say that you love me and are willing to let me go to the countryside, but now that I have finally found a husband, you want me to get married."
"Mom, you are my real mother, why are you doing this to me?"
"I don't care anyway. If you don't buy me a bag, I'll pretend you're not my mother in the future."
Lu Zhengguo happened to come back at this time.
He walked over, glanced at Zhang Fengxia, and saw Lu Hongmei who had been crying. His voice was cold and serious.
"Mom, sister-in-law, do you want Hongmei to get married now?"
Mother Lu avoided Lu Zhengguo's sight and explained more relaxedly.
"Your wife wants seven yuan before she will give you the house. Where can we get seven yuan? Hongmei wants to go to the countryside, so we have no choice but to let her get married."
"It just so happens that your sister-in-law introduced her to a truck driver who earns more than ten yuan a month. Hongmei won't have to work hard after she gets married."
Zhang Fengxia curled her lips and said, "Yes, Zhengguo, we are all family. If your wife wants so much money, she will have to empty the family's pockets."
"Letting Hongmei get married is also for her own good, for the good of this family. I can at least give all my money to her to buy her a house."
"It's okay for you two to have high salaries. I'm the same as your older brother. As for your low salary, you have two children. You should also consider us."
"Yes, Mom." She looked at Lu's mother with a smile.
Mother Lu was originally going to speak, but when she mentioned her two grandchildren, she could no longer play dumb.
Sooner or later, a daughter-in-law will get married, and only grandchildren belong to the family.
"Your sister-in-law is right, Zhengguo, we were the ones who wanted to buy Hongmei, but your wife wanted to pay too much, and we couldn't do anything about it."
"Hongmei, don't blame mom and your sister-in-law. You can go on a blind date tomorrow morning, and get the marriage certificate tomorrow afternoon. This way you don't have to go to the countryside."
Lu Hongmei's face turned pale instantly. She really didn't expect that she had finally gotten the forgiveness of her second sister-in-law and let her sell the girl to her.
But my family suddenly regretted it.
"Mom, are you serious?"
Mother Lu reluctantly avoided her gaze and said, "Hongmei, girls have to get married eventually, and you have to consider your two nephews. Our family really has to pay so much money."
Lu Zhengguo's face turned completely cold, "Mom, you guys have already promised to pay six dollars to buy Hongmei."
"I was going to pay the remaining dollar myself, but what do you mean by that?"
"Are you blaming Shen Man for asking for too much money, or are you guys not planning to pay for it at all?"
