"Eat it yourself, don't give it to your sister. You're just a girl, and sooner or later you'll be someone else's, so why would you eat these?" All the good things in their family were for the boys. They had nothing to do with the girls.
"I don't like this, it's too sweet. You eat it yourself." Luo Kang didn't want to drink that, so he went out directly. He had to go to work and earn money.
Luo Kang went straight to the kitchen and said to Luo Dan, "I'm good to you. If you don't eat, I won't eat either."
Rodin: “…” That’s because you don’t like to eat.
"Hurry up and feed the pigs. I'll help you after dinner."
Since Xiaoli wasn't coming, and Luo Mingmo wasn't coming back either, she didn't cook meat. She didn't want to see the old lady's face. She had already made winter melon soup with potatoes instead.
There is no shortage of winter melons and potatoes at home, we have planted a lot of them.
But there wasn't much else. Every year, we had to provide grain, and rice and glutinous rice were both precious. Eating them once every ten days or half a month was enough, and usually we had steamed buns and corn buns.
After the corn is cooked, just stick it to the edge of the pot and the meal is ready.
Just as they were done, Luo's parents returned. Having just divided up the land, they were full of energy. They believed that if they rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, their lives would surely get better and better.
But the betrothal money for my eldest son is really too much. I don’t know how the negotiation went with the other party?
After coming back, they washed their hands and ate. After a tiring day, eating was the most relaxing time.
After dinner, Luo Ming came back and spoke directly to them.
"Mom and Dad, I want to marry Xiaoli. I won't marry anyone else but her. If you don't agree, I'll become her son-in-law."
Rodin sneered after hearing this. Even if you go to her house, she won’t want you. She has her own son. You are just an ATM.
"We're not stopping you from getting married, but the bride price is just too much. Where would our family get that much money?"
Father Luo said with a dark face, besides, which girl would ask for so much dowry?
"Mom and Dad, how can you say that? Xiaoli said that she would bring back the betrothal gifts and give a dowry. In the end, it's just a matter of changing hands. Aren't they all ours after all?
Don't you want me to get married?"
Luo Ming was very angry and always felt that his parents just didn't want him to get married.
"Okay, your parents didn't mean that. We don't have any money, but there are ways. As long as your sister..."
"Mom, I don't agree." Luo's mother immediately interrupted her. "Luo Ming, I'm telling you, we won't be working tomorrow. We'll treat Xiaoli's family to a meal. If we can negotiate a deal, we'll do it. We really don't have that much money. Your father and I work our ass off and only make two thousand yuan."
Moreover, the money was not in her hands but in the hands of her mother-in-law, and it was impossible for her mother-in-law to take it all out.
Two thousand is a lot for most people's families.
Old Mrs. Luo glared at Luo's mother fiercely. When was it her turn to speak?
"Mom, the child's mother is right. Let's wait and see tomorrow." Father Luo didn't want to really use that method.
Rodin listened, and when she heard her grandmother almost say those words, she pinched her palms hard and told herself, look, this is your family.
Even when my father spoke up, he just said he would wait and see tomorrow.
In other words, if tomorrow's discussion is not appropriate, she will use the same method and wait for them to speak out.
Luo Ming was a little puzzled as to why his parents only spoke half-heartedly.
"Luo Ming, go get some meat and offal tomorrow, and make at least a few more dishes. We're inviting your girlfriend's parents to dinner, and we have to have a talk between the two families." Father Luo spoke to Luo Ming, his eyes sweeping over the children, but in the end he didn't dare to look at his daughter.
I always feel a little guilty.
…
Luo Kang felt that the atmosphere was a little off. His sister had been acting strangely since she started washing the dishes. Her whole demeanor was a little low. Forget about the hawthorns.
"Sister, I've already fed the pigs, and you won't make hawthorns for me?" Have they forgotten that they need to make money?
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Luo Dan thought, "That's right. I can't delay her from earning money." Her parents and grandmother were discussing something right now, so he knew what it was. As for Luo Ming, he happily ran off with the money.
Luo Dan started making candied hawthorns and roasted chestnuts. She would also be able to make nougat, milk dates, and button cookies.
But now we have to earn some money first, don’t be impatient.
Make money, make money, Rodin told himself not to think too much.
Everything was ready, and Luo Kang was given a taste. Luo Kang's eyes lit up and he gave Luo Dan a thumbs-up.
"Sister, you are awesome, do you want to give some to mom and dad?"
Luo Dan glared at him and said, "When you come back tomorrow, just say you bought it. Do you think grandma would let us keep the money if we earn it?"
Luo Kang thought about it and realized, "That's right."
"Luo Kang, I'm different from you. In grandma's eyes, I'm just a girl. I have nothing. If I don't make some money myself, I don't know what I'll do in the future. Will I be sold for a few betrothal gifts?"
There was confusion in Rodin's eyes. Are girls really so worthless?
Bah, that's not right. It's their mentality that's wrong. Nowadays, men and women are equal. As long as she studies hard, she will definitely be able to take a different path in the future than in her previous life.
"Sister, why do you think so? What grandma said is wrong. Boys and girls are the same. Don't think like that?" Luo Kang didn't know what to say. He felt that his sister was suddenly very depressed.
"I know, you don't have to tell me. Go sell it tomorrow. I told you it's two for one dollar a pound. Give them enough. I'll tell you where to get a scale."
Rodin thought that she definitely couldn't go out and had to help with cooking.
Tomorrow is a big day. But Luo Kang is different. He only needs to come back for dinner.
"Sister, can I do it?" Luo Kang didn't quite believe himself, but at the same time he was very excited. Could he be doing business?
"You can do it, I believe you." Rodin still believed in Luo Kang very much.
After he got out, he knew what he had become, so he rushed over, grabbed her, and took her away to get a divorce. He beat the scumbag so hard that he couldn't say a word.
Even her parents were scolded. In this family, Luo Kang was the only one who treated her as a relative, so she believed that Luo Kang was just full of justice and easily deceived.
"I believe you, but you can't give this to your friend. I worked so hard on this. It's going to pay for my tuition and living expenses. You definitely won't let me go to high school if you look like that."
Luo Kang thought about it and nodded vigorously. The feeling of being trusted by his sister at this moment made him feel that he was still very valuable.
"Okay. Leave it to me!"
Early in the morning, Luo Kang took his things away, and Luo Dan began to feed the pigs and make breakfast.
Luo Ming came back with some offal, ribs, and other things, "Remember to put more meat in. Don't be reluctant. This is your brother's and my happiness."
