Miao Xiuli was also a person with an open mind. She glared at Miao Xiuhua and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? The child is not a child anymore. She has her own ideas. She is not your puppet.
In my opinion, this kid is like you. When you first met your brother-in-law, your brother insisted on marrying him, didn't you? Don't force your kid to do something you can't do. Just let them do it.
Giving her more dowry is more practical than anything else, right?"
The others were amused by her. Wen Panpan's eyes were full of admiration. She said to Jiang Yan in a soft voice, "Sister, come and have dinner too. I told him that my sister is the top scholar and is very, very amazing, but he thought I was bragging. This must have blinded his dog eyes!"
Jiang Yan had no resistance to the little girl's coquetry. She nodded quickly: "Okay, when? I'll come with your brother!"
Wen Panpan raised her voice, "The day after tomorrow, his family will come over from the city. We will decide on the betrothal gift, and then we will set the wedding date."
Everyone in the brigade envied him. He found a partner from the city. He didn't have to work hard anymore, and his child also had a city hukou.
She felt a little proud and felt that she had brought honor to her parents.
Jiang Yan saw that he looked so innocent. He was sold out and still had to help others count money. Forget it, just let her see it!
Miao Xiuhua also said: "Come here all of you, everyone, as witnesses, his family said before that they would give us 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, and also asked us to give 200 yuan as a dowry, otherwise they would sell their daughter.
His father and I suffered a lot, and we still had to rely on the famine. Sons and daughters are the same, losing money. When will they understand the difficulties of their parents? "
Zhang Yulan spoke appropriately: "Two hundred yuan as a dowry! Is it what the man's family asked for? Should we take this money back and give it to his parents, or should we make a separate account for Panpan to save and use for the family expenses in the future? Have we agreed on this in advance?"
People in the city are very cunning. I think she wants to get a daughter-in-law for free without spending a penny. The abacus beads are about to jump on my face! How can you agree to her unreasonable request?
It's good that you didn't deduct the two hundred yuan. His family is still asking for more. We don't have such rules in the countryside."
Miao Xiuying also said: "There is no such thing in the city. The betrothal gift from the man's family is almost all for honoring the woman's parents. If the parents are kind-hearted, it would be the best if they give the money to their daughter to take back.
It is rare to see a request for the bride's parents to give an equal dowry. If you don't know, you might think his son is some big leader and is taking you for a ride. He wants this and that. If you open the door, he will ask you for more in the future. We are country folk, how can we give him so many things?"
Lu Xiaomin was like this at the beginning. She insisted on marrying Feng Chen no matter what. Zhang Yulan wished she could break off the relationship.
It would be fine if the Feng family was a good one, but neither the mother nor the daughter were good people.
In the past, she was afraid that her daughter would be wronged in the Feng family, so she saved money herself and sent food to her so that she could gain a foothold in her husband's family.
But she couldn't stand on her own feet. She was completely dominated by her mother-in-law and was instigated to suck the blood of these people.
Zhang Yulan also understood and chose to respect the fate of others.
Lu Xiaomin didn't come back in the past two years, and it was obvious that she had completely cut off her relationship with them, which also made Zhang Yulan feel relieved.
I don’t understand how she and Lu Jiandang, both of whom are open-minded and have good family backgrounds, could give birth to such a selfish person?
Forget it. I don’t want to think about that ungrateful person. I still feel a little upset. I’ll just think of it as a genetic mutation.
After Zhang Yulan said this, Wen Panpan hesitated and whispered, "He said that for the sake of me and his family, he wanted to expand his yard so that he could have a spacious living space when he has a baby in the future."
Miao Xiuhua poked her forehead and said unhappily, "Still thinking about you? Your aunt is right, her family is calculating. You won't listen to what your mother says. We'll see when the time comes. Only when you have money will your in-laws respect you. Once she gets it, what are you? She can do whatever she wants to you. If you confront her, she will label you as unfilial and make you unable to raise your head in front of your neighbors. How can you fight her with your brains? I'm worried about you before you even get married."
Her sisters are all very tough people. No one expected that they would give birth to such an honest child. It must be that the man's bloodline is not good.
Miao Xiuhua glared at her man fiercely. Her man touched his nose, lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Well, he is also an honest man, you can tell by the fact that he doesn't even dare to fart.
When this woman gets angry, she can be murderous.
Wen Panpan explained: "Mom, he is not that kind of person. He said he would work hard for our future, and I can't hold him back!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Jiang Yan interrupted her, "It's too early to talk about this. Didn't you say you would treat us to a meal? Let's talk about it at the table."
Even zombies wouldn't eat this kind of love-brained person.
Based on Jiang Yan's many years of experience in reading novels, it was almost certain that the story was a trap for her to fall into.
This silly girl thought the man loved her, what love! Love his fucking spiral fart!
This topic was skipped and when the matter of Miao Lei's application for the exam was mentioned, Miao Lei said that he wanted to study law in order to become a lawyer or enter a judicial institution.
The other people who were just making a living on the land didn't understand what he was saying, but Jiang Yan was extremely supportive. "Let's not talk about anything else. After you get out, you can go to the city to be a secretary, or become a police officer or something. Isn't that more important than other authorities?"
Jiang Yan's affirmation made Miao Lei as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was extremely excited. Finally, there was someone supporting him.
His parents wanted him to study to be a teacher. Not only did it give him holidays, but the work was also easy. He was not interested in being a teacher. He wanted to study to do something that would allow him to speak for the people and do practical things for ordinary people.
He didn't want others to suffer the same hardships he had gone through, so he did his best to help those in need out of trouble. This was the meaning of his going to college.
Miao Xiucai was a little uncertain, "Xiao Yan, if teachers can enter the school, what can law do? In a small place, no one will hire a lawyer. I'm afraid he will lose his job!"
Jiang Yan smiled and explained to him, "Uncle, studying law is not just about being a lawyer. The governors and mayors all graduated from law schools. Xiaolei wants to study law, so let him study. He has a good future."
Jiang Yan's words gave Miao Xiucai some peace of mind, as he was afraid that the child would make a random choice.
By then, I will have delayed myself a lot. I have finally managed to get out of the mountains and I will definitely choose a job with good salary and benefits.
As parents, they just hope for the best for their children.
Miao Xiucai mentioned the educated youth in the brigade. Some of those who failed the exam committed suicide by hanging themselves, and the commune even intervened.
I heard other people in the room sighing, but this was not the case with the Qianjin Brigade. They didn’t pass the exam and were told they would take it again next year.
His character is not very good, but he is just like the cockroach that can't be killed.
