Finally, Zhu Laosan finally said, "Just wait!"
He was really angry. He had lost all his face and dignity today. If he didn't get back at them, he would write his name backwards!
Shen Laicai doesn't care. His mind is now full of thoughts. If Shen Chunhua gets married today, he can get 175. If Shen Donghua gets married in two years, how much can he get?
Two hundred, right? No, no, no, the bolder the people, the more fertile the land. Why can't she be worth two hundred and eighty or three hundred?
Several men in the Shen family, including Qian Lai'er, were looking at Shen Donghua as if she were an object, wondering what price they could sell her for.
Shen Donghua's face was still pale, but she still looked at her sister with gratitude.
She knew that she and her sister Chunhua had both survived this ordeal. No, it should be said that Chen Chunhua was completely safe, but she was only temporarily safe. As long as she stayed in this house, she would never be truly safe.
Didn't you hear what Shen Laicai said to Zhu Laosan at the end, asking them to come back in two years? Two more years! If she's still at home in two years, there's definitely only her corpse left!
Chen Laicai is still a serious businessman. Once he sees money, he has to do things for others.
He urged Captain Shen to help write the marriage certificate, handed it to Old Man Lin with a grin, and then took back a stack of money.
"Chunhua, go pack your things. After you get the captain's certificate, go back with Xiaolin to register. Then you don't have to come back."
He didn't even plan to invite his in-laws to dinner, as having one less person to eat would save some food.
"We also need to transfer our household registration, so let's do it all today."
Although he had only been at the Shen family for less than half an hour, Old Man Lin had already seen most of the situation.
His simplicity doesn't mean he is stupid. Besides, the people watching the fun behind him never stopped talking. Combined with the scene of Chen Chunhua going to the door to look for a marriage herself yesterday.
It’s better to have less contact with the in-laws. I believe my daughter-in-law thinks so too.
There are not many things belonging to Chen Chunhua, so it is impossible for Shen Laicai and Qian Laier to prepare a dowry for her.
She only had a few patched and tattered clothes, and even the black quilt she covered herself with at night was shared with Shen Donghua. If she took it away, Shen Donghua would freeze to death.
175 yuan. Today she is considered to be married to Lin Guoqing. No matter whether the money is her own or borrowed, it is her share. After the dust settled, she felt unwilling to give up.
Even the Shen family had nothing to give her. After walking around the room for a long time, she saw a half-new rechargeable lamp. It was bought last year after Shen Xiasheng broke the flashlight at home.
Chen Chunhua didn't mind and just put it on top of her clothes and packed them together, so that the bag looked less deflated.
Chen Chunhua's heart was always hanging until she followed Lin Guoqing and his son back to Sihe Village and watched the various stamps and signatures in the brigade, which completely confirmed her relationship with Lin Guoqing.
Her food supply also shifted to the Lin family in Sihe Village, and no longer to the Shen family in Zhenhe Village.
Chen Chunhua had never felt so relaxed in her life. Even if the Lin family wasn't a guaranteed good home for her, at least it was better than the Shen family, right? At least better than the Zhu family, right? At least she had a place to stay, right?
＊＊＊
Since marrying Lin Guoqing, Chen Chunhua has only met her so-called family twice.
One time was because Shen Donghua ran away, just half a year after she married Lin Guoqing and just when she became pregnant with Lin Shuying.
One day in the middle of the night, Shen Donghua knocked on the door of the Lin family and said that she had been hungry all day and asked Chen Chunhua for two sweet potatoes.
Shen Donghua said that when she was coming back from mowing the grass that day, she happened to see Zhu Laosan's son, the little pig butcher, hanging out with their second brother Shen Xiasheng.
She quietly hid in the corner and couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation clearly, but she still heard the two words "Donghua".
She was extremely nervous and felt that there was definitely nothing good about these two people getting together to discuss her.
She didn't go home at all, but hid outside. She waited until dark, then followed the address and route that Lin Guoqing had casually mentioned the day he came to pick up Chen Chunhua, and found her in the dark.
Ever since Chen Chunhua left, Shen Donghua has been carrying the money her sister gave her with her, just so that she can run away at any time if anything goes wrong.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
Shen Donghua was hungry and cold. She only recovered after eating the hot water and sweet potatoes given by Chen Chunhua. She wiped her mouth and stood up to leave.
"Sister, I just wanted to say goodbye to you. After all, my eldest sister is gone, and if I leave, we may never see each other again in our lives.
Mom gave me life, and I've almost paid it back by working like a slave at home for so many years. This little 22 cents I have is from you, and that's what you gave me, so you've given me a way out.
All I can say is thank you. I probably can't repay you in this life, but I'll do it in the next life. Let's not be sisters in the next life, this life wasn't a good one.
Well... I'd like to become a capitalist lady, and then be a neighbor... "
I don’t know if it’s because of the separation, but Shen Donghua talked a lot today, and Chen Chunhua, perhaps because she was pregnant and her emotions were unstable, she held her sister’s hand and kept crying.
"You, you ran away... you have nothing, how are you going to survive..."
Shen Donghua tried hard to grin,
"What are you afraid of? No matter how hard it is, it can't be harder than living in our house. Didn't you even think about killing yourself with a pair of scissors? If you're not afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?"
At worst, I can just beg. I heard there are a lot of rich people in Shanghai, so I can beg all the way there. Maybe people will think I'm pretty and give me a few more dollars..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh..." Chen Chunhua frowned and covered her mouth with her hands.
"If you really want to beg, you'd better smear your face a little dirty and cut off your braids, and act like a boy..."
Chen Chunhua felt that she was also sick, and was actually teaching her sister how to beg for food. She wiped her tears, gritted her teeth, turned back to her room, and asked Lin Guoqing for the drawer key.
Lin Guoqing didn't ask anything and gave it to her directly.
Chen Chunhua counted out 5 yuan in dimes and stuffed them into Shen Donghua's hand.
"My family still owes a debt, and I was supposed to pay my eldest sister-in-law back home tomorrow with these five dollars. Take this for now..."
Shen Donghua quickly pushed the money back, "How can that be possible? What if my brother-in-law finds out..."
"He knows."
Chen Chunhua resolutely folded the money for her and put it in her pocket. Then she smiled and said,
"Your brother-in-law doesn't hit people. Between us, we always discuss anything. I just asked him for the key when I went in. He knows everything."
Shen Donghua opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Donghua, I can't help you much. I can only give you this much. You have to rely on yourself for the rest of your life."
