When these words reached the villagers' ears, they were like thunder.
"What? One hundred yuan? This means you're marrying a gold ingot, right?"
Getting married is quite simple nowadays. For those who are well-off in the city, it is considered good if they can get "three turns"; it is extremely rare to get "three turns and one ring".
Conditions in rural areas are generally poor, and everyone lives a tight life. A betrothal gift of 20 yuan is the norm.
This one hundred yuan betrothal gift is enough to marry five wives!
"It seems Feng Yun is really satisfied with Xu Lijuan! Who said before that Feng Yun didn't like her and wanted to be the evil mother-in-law who broke up the couple? Now she's really slapped in the face. She can casually spend a hundred yuan to marry a daughter-in-law. That's a lot of money! What mother-in-law can be so generous?"
"That's right, a hundred yuan! If I had known Feng Yun had so much money, I would have introduced my niece from my mother's family to him."
"Oh, don't dream! Hu Guangjin is the only high school student in the village. How could he fall for your niece?"
"What's wrong? My niece is so pretty, she's the most beautiful girl in the village! She just hasn't been educated, so what? I'll marry a virtuous woman. She's good-tempered and capable, so she'll be a good wife. Besides, she has small breasts and a big butt, so she's destined to give birth to a son. It's important for the Hu family to have more children!"
While several people were arguing heatedly here, Xu Lijuan was being stared at by Feng Yun over there, and her heart was tense.
Feng Yun sighed, "You haven't said anything for so long. Do you disagree? You don't want to date my fourth son, nor do you want to marry him. You just want him to treat you well, pamper you, and give you good things, right?"
Hu Guangjin's mood went from excitement to nervousness, and then to disappointment. He stared at Xu Lijuan, his sausage-shaped mouth trembling visibly, "Lijuan, don't you want to be with me anymore?"
Xu Lijuan was in a dilemma, her face flushed red, and finally she made up her mind to just go for it.
"Guangjin, I've told you before that I will definitely return to the city in the future. If you can't get into college, my parents will definitely not agree to let me marry you."
Hu Guangjin had heard this countless times, and he heard it again today.
When he heard this before, he was clearly thinking about getting into university, but now, he could hear a hint of perfunctoriness in the tone.
He felt very upset, but the more upset he felt, the more he stared at Xu Lijuan, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Feng Yun saw the complicated emotions on Hu Guangjin's face and quickly added fuel to the fire.
"What are you talking about, kid? Aren't you Tu Lao Si?
For you, he fought against his family desperately, making me sell everything I had to send him to study in the city, and he almost sold his eldest sister's life so that he could get into the top class.
In the end, if he fails to get into college, you won't marry him? Wouldn't all his efforts over the years be in vain?
If you really like him, how could you have the heart to force him like this and make us so sad?
He is still young. In the future, whether he goes to college or gets married, he will depend on us. If he breaks our hearts, we will really not care about him anymore. Are you responsible for the rest of his life?
As soon as these words came out, the group of people she had deliberately called over began to join in.
"Who says it's not true? What family's son would become alienated from his family before his daughter-in-law even enters the family? Guangcai is a high school student that the Hu family has cultivated with all their heart. For him, the other children have only had a few days of schooling. How can you urge him to eat up all the bones of his brothers and sisters just to go to college for yourself? Do you think you can help those brothers and sisters with their personal matters in the future?"
"I've said it before, marry a virtuous wife. If you marry a daughter-in-law who only cares about her own son, your family will fall apart."
"Xu Lijuan, you're just playing with Guangjin, aren't you? If you really loved Guangjin, how could you put forward such harsh conditions? What are you saying about your parents not agreeing? Your household registration is here, and you're an educated youth who went to the countryside. How can your parents care about you?"
"Yeah, if your parents are really that powerful, why don't they try to get you back?"
"Oh, you still believe her? I saw her flirting with a man in town a few days ago. Not to mention the town, don't there have been several boys in our village who have been giving her the best things in their homes all day long? She will never agree to be with Guangjin. She accepts your kindness, but you are just a good brother."
When Feng Yun heard this, he felt a surge of joy.
What these sisters said really hit the nail on the head and was many years ahead of our times.
When she died in her previous life, it was already the 20th century. At that time, there was a very trendy saying called "keeping a spare tire."
The fourth child in her family is obviously the spare fish in Xu Lijuan's fish pond. She picks and chooses him and can abandon him at any time.
When she has made her choice and is ready to leave with another man, she will cry and say that she has always treated you as her brother. This not only makes her look decent, but also prevents others from blaming her. She can even continue to be nice to her and use her identity as a sister to continue to squeeze out their value.
Too cruel, too disgusting, bah!
Feng Yun spitted inwardly three times, then took a step forward and pressed the issue, "If you really like our Fourth Brother, why don't we arrange this marriage first? I don't demand you get married, but just getting engaged first will give Fourth Brother some peace of mind, right?"
Xu Lijuan still didn't speak.
Feng Yun's face immediately darkened.
"You don't agree to the engagement, so are you playing a trick on our fourth child? You coax him with nice words, but you're unwilling to give him peace of mind?"
Xu Lijuan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the unfriendly expressions on the faces of the onlookers, she immediately waved her hands, "No, no, I..."
After taking a look at Hu Guangjin's ugly face and seeing that the time was almost right, Feng Yun grabbed Xu Lijuan's shoulder with one hand and slapped her in the face with a big slap.
