"No, Xiaoli's mother, you are asking for this. You know our family situation. Can we discuss it? Both children are good kids and we want to do our best to make them live a good life. You can see that we have two wing rooms. The one on the right is for Luo Ming.
I haven't lived in it yet, so when the time comes to decorate it, it will be a new house. As for the betrothal gift, to be honest, our family's maximum is 1,100 yuan. What do you think? As for the three golds..."
Luo's mother gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have another bracelet. It's a hand-me-down from my mother's family. I'll give it to Xiaoli. What do you think?"
Nowadays, the betrothal gift is only one or two hundred yuan at most, and eleven thousand yuan is already enough to cover their family assets.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Xiaoli's mother slammed the table and stood up. "My beautiful daughter, one thousand and one? You're dreaming, Xiaoli, go home."
Xiaoli's mother took Xiaoli away, and Xiaoli looked at Luo Ming disappointedly.
"If you don't want to get married, just tell me straight away. I've already said I'll take it back as a dowry. If you don't want to, then break up."
Xiaoli was not worried at all. She had Luo Ming in her corner. If she had no other choice, would she have liked Luo Ming?
He's just a pig butcher.
The meal ended in a bad mood. Luo's mother chased after them, but Xiaoli's mother was firm in her attitude.
Luo Ming was in even greater pain. After returning, he was furious when he saw Luo Kang still picking up food at the table.
"All you do is eat. My marriage is ruined, and you're still eating."
Luo Ming stretched out his hand and wanted to overturn the table. If he was not happy, no one else would be happy.
"What do you want to do?"
Luo's father looked at Luo Ming with a dark face. "What do you want to do? You know the situation in our family, and you still want to make trouble?"
Luo Kang looked at Luo Ming with some disdain. He didn't know how to deal with it and was actually cheating here. He took the dishes back to the kitchen.
"Sister, I'm eating. Brother is going crazy over there."
Luo Dan naturally heard it, "He is just like that, don't worry about it, I will clean it up later, you come with me out."
"What are you going out for?" Luo Kang was a little surprised because he still had to buy food in the afternoon.
"Buy some stuff to sell tomorrow."
Rodin looked at the time and realized that there was no way to collect the waste because there was not enough time.
"Okay." When Luo Kang heard about going to town, he thought, "That's fine. Let's go buy some delicious food."
The two of them packed up and left. Luo Ming was arguing with his father and mother and had no time to care about them.
With money in his bag, Luo Kangna walked with a swagger. "Sister, I'll take you to see some good stuff, okay?"
Luo Kang remembered that his friends said that there were some bicycles that were recently released, and if you couldn't afford to buy them, you could just take a look.
"You go by yourself. I'll go shopping. But no fighting or causing trouble, okay?"
Rodin pulled his ear and spoke.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, I won't cause any trouble."
Luo Kang felt that his sister was becoming more and more aggressive.
Rodin then let him go, and Luo Kang ran away.
Seeing his expression, Rodin was a little amused. She thought about it and decided to go to the garbage dump to see if there was any waste to pick up. There was a particularly large garbage dump in the town. Nowadays, people think that picking up garbage is very shameful, so there was no one there.
So of course I have to go and see Rodin, and then buy the things when I return.
Luo Dan arrived with a backpack on her back. Her first impression was the bottles and paper boxes. There were so many of them. It didn't take long for her to sort through the pile. Suddenly, a small bowl that looked particularly worn caught her attention. She looked particularly good. It was in the shape of a lotus leaf.
It's not a bowl, it's more like an inkstone. Rodin liked to put it away decisively. I also saw a lot of tables, chairs and benches, all of which looked good.
Luo Dan suddenly remembered something. It seemed that there were people who specialized in buying these small tables. Each one cost seven or eight hundred yuan, and there was also various other things that would not be used in the future. If she collected them, wouldn't that be...
In addition to tables and benches, there are also various bottles and jars, in case they become valuable in the future, but she has no place to put them.
Rodin was a little conflicted about whether to take it back or not.
Finally, after thinking about it, she decided to take the small thing first. Anyway, the garbage dump was cleared once a month, so she would see if there was any other way.
But she really liked the lotus leaf inkstone and put it away.
Rodin went to the recycling station four times and earned six dollars before he decided to stop going.
"Uncle, I saw a lot of tables, chairs and benches at the garbage dump. I want to pick them up, but there's nowhere to put them. Do you know where I can put them here?"
Actually, Rodin just said that. He thought, what if the uncle knew?
"I'll go with you and take a look."
The uncle looked at Rodin and immediately laughed. "This is a good thing. Look at the carvings and everything. It will definitely be nice when you take it back. How are you going to carry it so far back home? Why not leave it with me?"
Only then did Rodin realize that his uncle's family had fallen on hard times and he lived alone. Rodin quickly thanked him, and the two of them took the tables, chairs and screens back home.
"There's nothing left. I guess someone didn't like it so they replaced it. You're pretty lucky."
They are all made of huanghuali wood, and the price will definitely increase in the future.
Rodin was especially grateful to the uncle.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Why thank me? It's okay. I live alone anyway. Go home early."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Rodin took the lotus inkstone back to town, bought some mung beans and sugar, and walked back.
If I still need to find a house in the future, I will live on campus. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a house and I will have to be very careful when doing anything.
When I arrived at the place where I had agreed to meet Luo Kang, the guy was holding an orange soda and a book in his hand.
"Sister, look at the soda and melon seeds I left for you."
Luo Dan saw that it was just raw melon seeds, which wasn't cheap. She could actually roast them, right? There were all sorts of flavors. But then she thought, "That's only going to happen during the Lunar New Year."
"Don't eat them all by yourself. Let's go to the mountains and get some hawthorns and chestnuts."
The two men's backpacks were full of pig grass, and when they returned home they found the house in a mess.
"What happened at grandma's house? Was it robbed?"
Old Mrs. Luo was wiping her tears and shouting, "It's all because of that awful brother of yours. He actually had a big fight with us and said he wanted to be someone else's son-in-law, then he just took the clothes and ran away."
Luo Dan was not surprised at all. He had to be back within three days. How could Xiaoli's family let him stay and eat for free?
As a result, within three days, Luo's father was brought back.
During mealtimes, Luo Ming didn't eat either.
"You don't want me to get married, so just starve me to death. Anyway, you just want me to die."
Old Mrs. Luo was so heartbroken. Her first grandson was her life.
"I can't not eat. What will I do if I'm hungry?"
As Old Lady Luo spoke, she looked at Rodin, who seemed to be eating with relish.
"Rodan, you're not worried at all about your brother not eating, are you?"
