Chapter 234 The Marriage is Cancelled
All the members of the Xu family work in the meat processing factory. They have high salaries and all of them, both men and women, are big and strong.
The family had also privately agreed that after Xu Huiping married into the family, they would find a way to get her a permanent job.
"I have just said it several times, if your family really doesn't agree to this,
Just return the betrothal money and the marriage between our two families will be over."
Xu Caoya was also tired, as she had wasted so much time and effort.
"Give it to me now. I'm too lazy to come to your house anymore."
Xu Dayou's face turned pale. He considered himself a rare and refined person in this compound.
He works in the factory as a formal employee, and everyone in the compound gives him a good look when they see him.
Now that this matter has become public, his family’s reputation in the compound will be ruined.
"You said it, Mom. You should return the money. We don't want this marriage."
Xu Dayou looked at his biological mother who stood up and leaned on Juanzi, with a look of disapproval in his eyes.
What a fool he is! He is so stubborn and refuses to give it to me, making his family look like a scoundrel.
This house was smashed and people were offended, but don’t you still have to pay in the end?
Mother Xu stammered and looked at the fourth child.
She has no money now and she has no words to express her suffering.
Xu Dayou felt something was wrong with his mother's reaction and shouted:
"Old Four, what's going on? Do you have the betrothal money?"
"Brother, why are you shouting so loud? I'm just short of money and need to borrow it to make ends meet."
Hearing this, Xu Caoya sneered and started a dog-eat-dog fight. It was interesting.
Although these brothers are close relatives, what they worry about is not the lack of wealth but the inequality.
Xu Dayou was so angry that he almost vomited blood. No wonder his mother refused to take out the money. He was probably afraid that the fourth brother had already taken it and spent it all.
"Old Four, stop talking nonsense. What on earth did you do with the money?"
"Brother, I really need it urgently, so don't ask me. You'll know in a few days."
Xu Laosi hid behind his mother with a shameless face, still grinning.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Where's the money? Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action."
Wang Dameng shook the stick in his hand and spoke in a rough voice.
The brothers waiting behind also looked impatient, just waiting for Sister Cao Ya to make a gesture so that they could continue dancing with the sticks.
"Mom, what are you waiting for? Do you really miss your home being demolished?"
At the signal from her eldest son, Mother Xu ran to the room on her small feet to get the money.
Chen Lan found this story interesting. She walked forward a few steps and stretched her head to look at the commotion in the east.
The elder sister-in-law, who was washing clothes behind her, saw her sister-in-law relaxing and at ease, and a feeling of dissatisfaction flashed through her mind.
Looking at Chen Lan's belly, he seemed to be thinking about something.
He closed the door to avoid other people's prying eyes, and with his butt sticking out, he was digging something out of the hole under the bed.
Half of the money in the family is with her and half is with her husband.
I first opened my piggy bank and counted it. There were only a dozen dollars left in it, all loose change.
There were originally several hundred dollars left, but her nephew from her mother's side got married last month.
As an aunt, how could she not spend a penny? So she gritted her teeth and secretly slipped fifty yuan into the old man's pocket while he wasn't paying attention.
What happened once happened again. Last week my nephew came again with something in his hand.
She said she wanted to buy a bicycle and was still short of one hundred yuan, but I don't know how she managed to squeeze it out in the end.
In addition, I forced the fourth child to change his job two days ago and gave him another two hundred.
The money could not withstand such squandering, and soon her cash box was empty, with only a dozen dollars in change left.
The Xu family hasn't split up yet, so the money she has saved is also considered public money.
How could these dozen dollars fill the huge hole in the betrothal money? She lost her mind and reached for the old man's money box.
There was a lock on it, but she didn't have the key, and she was sweating with anxiety.
"Mom, why haven't you taken it out yet? What are you doing?"
Xu Dayou waited and waited, but no one came out. Wang Dameng was already very impatient, so he had to come in as well.
Aunt Xu was startled by the sound, her hands trembled, and the two boxes on her legs were knocked over and fell to the ground.
Xu Dayou squatted on the ground and took it to look. Something was wrong. Why was there only this little money?
His eyes suddenly changed, and he was about to ask his mother what was going on.
Hearing Wang Dameng's urging voice outside, Xu Dayou swallowed the words in his mouth again.
"Is it okay? Why are you taking so long? Do you want us brothers to come and look for it ourselves?"
I had to suppress my anger and ran to my room to get the key.
He opened another box and took out three hundred yuan.
Fortunately, his father kept the key to the box with him.
"Wouldn't it have been better if we did this earlier? Let's go!"
Outside, Xu Caoya counted some money and nodded to her man.
Wang Dameng waved his hand, and the group picked up sticks and left with their belongings.
As the excitement died down, the people who had gathered around began to disperse in groups of three or four.
But his mouth was still busy because the Xu family had caused such a big fuss today.
For at least a week, the first thing everyone said after dinner was this:
"Do you know about the incident with Old Xu's family?"
Gao Xiulan and Lao Liu looked at each other and went back.
After a while, Gao Xiulan had a basket of eggs on her shoulders, covered with a few plump white radishes.
She had to hurry home to cook, and watching the fun was really a waste of time.
Thinking that the batteries in my radio at home were out of power, I went to buy a few on the way.
…
Hu Ermao finally had a baby. Dujuan gave birth to a daughter, a sweet girl. He was very happy.
He also took the child to his blind mother for a checkup. His mother didn't say anything, but just told him and Dujuan to live a good life.
His little girl had trouble falling asleep. After finally coaxing her to sleep in his arms, he was woken up by a burst of crying outside.
Her little face turned red from crying, and Hu Ermao, her old father, was almost heartbroken.
Dujuan walked around the room holding the baby, and the baby's crying gradually subsided.
He was still angry, so he ran out to see who had been howling all morning.
Following the sound, I arrived at Old Xu's house, but as soon as I reached the door, everything became quiet inside.
I had no choice but to turn around and leave, but was suddenly bumped on the back.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Aunt Pi’s eldest grandson Tiezhu. The child was sniffing his nose, with candy stuffed in his mouth, and his cheeks were bulging.
In his dirty hands, he still held a handful of candies, the candy wrappers melted and became sticky in his hands. He saw that there were still a lot of candies in the torn bag with the cotton thread broken.
No way, where did this kid get so many White Rabbit candies?
Could it be that someone gave it to him?
"You little bastard, why are you running so fast? Can't you see I'm standing here?"
Rubbing his waist, he said that he had been taking care of the children a lot recently and his waist was almost stiff from exhaustion.
He was just standing aside, not blocking the door.
I was hit for no reason, so my tone was inevitably a bit bad.
"Hey, Ermao, why are you so fierce? My Tiezhu didn't do it on purpose.
Why are you, an adult, arguing with a child?"
When Tiezhu saw his grandmother coming, he opened his mouth and started howling, then threw himself into her arms, which made Aunt Pi very distressed.
"Aunt Pi, what are you talking about? Forget it, it's my bad luck."
Hu Ermao knew that Aunt Pi was always unreasonable and unreasonable. He had a headache today and was not in good spirits, otherwise he would definitely argue with her.
Come back next time when he is more energetic.
Seeing the people leave, Aunt Pi snorted coldly and muttered softly:
"I wonder if your eldest brother will be so angry that he will die? He couldn't even keep his own wife, and let his younger brother take advantage of her."
Seeing the look in his grandson's eyes, he closed his mouth again and smiled brightly:
"Tiezhu, wow, why did you bring so much candy?"
"Grandma, come here, I want to tell you——"
