"Mom, what are you talking about? What's wrong with me?"
Hearing Ye Chunlan said that she was not good-looking, Jiang Mo felt hurt and refused to give in. Ye Chunlan gave her a look, and Jiang Mo glanced away in anger.
Ye Chunlan looked at Jiang Yan and continued:
"You don't have a job now, so according to policy you have to go to the countryside. Dad is a staff member of the Revolutionary Committee, so it's not easy for him to be openly partial. Of course, if you really don't want to marry Lu Yunsheng, Mom can ask Dad to prepare for you to go to the countryside."
"But if we go to the countryside, we can only be assigned randomly."
"If you go to the Northwest or the even colder Heilongjiang Province, you will not only have to work in the fields, but also go hungry. You have been in poor health since childhood, and mom is worried that you can't bear it."
These words were threats both explicitly and implicitly, and Jiang Yan began to think seriously about them.
According to the memory she received, it was now March 1972. She didn't know much about this era, but the general impression of later generations was that they were hungry.
As far as I can remember, the Jiang family did live a very tight life.
Although they would not starve, they were not well off either, and all daily necessities were in short supply.
Even the officials of the Revolutionary Committee were like this, so you can imagine how difficult life was for ordinary people.
She is sick now. The original owner has lived in the Jiang family for so long, but she doesn't have any handle on the Jiang family. She has no way to resist.
There are two paths before us.
Marrying Lu Yunsheng, although he might have violent tendencies, at least her life would be guaranteed. And as an officer, as long as he wanted to climb up the career ladder, he would definitely have to take his reputation into consideration.
This way, even if she can't live well in the future, she can still find a way to divorce without any shame.
But if she refuses to get married, she will have to go to the countryside. Given the nature of the Jiang family, they will definitely not give her any good place.
If you really go to a remote area where you have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to leave the village, then you will be helpless.
Most people in this era are uneducated, and places like rural areas are mostly governed by the village, which is very chaotic.
When you go to the countryside, you not only have to work hard in the fields, but you also have to be on guard against those bachelors in the village who have bad intentions. If you don't die, you will be skinned alive.
Moreover, the reform and opening up started in 1978, and it is only 1972 now. She will have to stay in the countryside for at least 6 years, and the unpredictable risks during this period are too great.
After a little thought, Jiang Yan made a decision. She looked at Ye Chunlan and said:
"If you want me to marry you, you can. I'll give you 200 yuan plus 100 jin of national grain coupons, 100 jin of meat coupons, 50 jin of oil coupons, and 50 feet of cloth coupons."
"What?"
"You're asking for too much. It's impossible. Absolutely impossible."
When Ye Chunlan heard Jiang Yan's request, she exploded.
Their family has two working parents, and they only have less than two pounds of meat and one pound of oil rationed per month, and only a few feet of cloth coupons per person per year.
As soon as Jiang Yan opened her mouth, she asked for several years' salary of her family. Even if Jiang Yuan wanted to be promoted, it was impossible for him to agree, and the family did not have that much money.
Jiang Yan shrugged. "It's up to you guys. Without any guarantee, I can't go with the army."
Hearing this, Ye Chunlan frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Jiang Mo looked at Jiang Yan and saw that she didn't care. She pulled Ye Chunlan's sleeve and said, "Mom, promise her. At most we can give her less."
His father was determined to get involved with the Lu family. If Jiang Yan couldn't get married, he would most likely force her to marry. She didn't want to marry Lu Yunsheng and be a widow.
Ye Chunlan naturally knew that Jiang Yuan was determined to succeed in this matter, and she also didn't want her precious daughter to marry so far away.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chunlan said with a painful heart: "Your request cannot be fulfilled even if the king of heaven comes, but I can give you 100 yuan, 50 catties of grain coupons, 15 catties of meat coupons, 5 catties of oil coupons and 20 feet of cloth coupons."
"That's all. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, forget it. Let Jiang Yuan talk to you when the time comes. But he won't be as polite as us."
Jiang Yan frowned.
Among the three members of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuan is the worst. He has endless ways of torturing people. Even Ye Chunlan and Jiang Mo are a little afraid of him.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Yan agreed.
Just get married.
It's better than going to the countryside and starving with no guarantee of personal safety.
After all, she is not the original owner. If she stays there for too long, she will inevitably reveal her flaws. It would be best for her to go to a place where no one knows her.
Seeing Jiang Yan nod, Ye Chunlan and Jiang Mo couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
Jiang Yan also took the opportunity to ask to go to the hospital for treatment. Her fever had not subsided yet. If she didn't take medicine quickly, she might have to go downstairs to accompany the original owner.
Jiang Yan had already agreed to get married, so Ye Chunlan naturally would not refuse this request. She immediately decided to accompany Jiang Yan to see the doctor in person, and at the same time asked Jiang Mo to pass the news to Jiang Yuan.
This matter has been delayed for a long time. In order to avoid any further complications, Jiang Yan must be sent to the train as soon as possible so that her husband can get promoted as soon as possible.
The nearest hospital is not far from the family building, only about ten minutes' walk away.
The two of them quickly arrived at the hospital, where the doctor prescribed them a fever-reducing injection and two prescriptions of medicine, then let them go home.
When I got home, Jiang Yuan and his daughter also came back.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Yan heard Jiang Yuan praising Jiang Mo for being obedient and sensible, a scene of a loving father and a filial daughter.
听到门外的动静，姜沫回头得意地看了姜妍一眼，一副“我有父爱你没有”的样子很是欠揍。
But Jiang Yan is not the original owner, so she has no feelings about this.
Jiang Yuan also looked over and for the first time showed an expression of satisfaction towards his adopted daughter.
"You're quite sensible. Since you're sick, just go inside and rest. You don't have to cook. I'll ask your mother to prepare the money and give it to you when you get on the train."
