Yang Niannian had long guessed that Lu Shishen had no time to go back.

As a brother and sister-in-law, it's not good to not show any appreciation when your sister gets married.

She had a good impression of Lu Ruoling. This sister-in-law was very hardworking and not one to cause trouble. She was willing to pay some dowry money.

So he took the initiative to suggest, "Since you don't have time to go back, why don't we give her 100 yuan as a dowry? This way, Ruo Ling will have face in her husband's family, and she will have some money in her hands, and her life will be easier."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Shishen's eyes, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

It's not that I'm reluctant to give it, but in the countryside, a girl's dowry is at most two quilts, quilt covers and bed sheets, and the dowry is 100 yuan, which is definitely the highest in the surrounding villages.

He didn't care about the accounts, but he knew that the family had a lot of expenses and there would not be much left from his allowance. If he wanted to give a dowry of 100 yuan, he would probably have to use Yang Niannian's secret fund.

The fact that she was willing to spend so much money on Ruo Ling, did it prove that she had no intention of getting a divorce?

Lu Shishen didn't dare to ask Yang Niannian directly, for fear that if he really brought up the topic, he would get an answer he didn't want to hear, which would accelerate Yang Niannian's decision to leave.

If she really wants a divorce, how will he choose?

If he forced her to stay by his side, she would probably hate him and would no longer be willing to get along with him like this.

Yang Niannian didn’t know that in just a few seconds, Lu Shishen had thought of so many things.

She shook her head seriously, "Not much. I was thinking of buying Ruoling a TV, but now I think I'll give up. She just got married and she must not have separated the family. There are a lot of things to do when a family lives together. Getting a TV might even cause family conflicts. Besides, my brother and sister-in-law don't have a TV. It would be inappropriate to buy one for her but not for him and his wife. Let's wait until we make more money before we decide."

This is her personality. She is very generous to people she likes, but to people she doesn't like, she would like to become a stingy miser.

It is not easy for someone so young to think so carefully.

Lu Shishen collected his thoughts, looked at her and said, "I will give the dowry money to Ruoling in person next time I go back."

Yang Niannian nodded with a smile, "That's what I was planning too. If I send it back now, my mother-in-law will definitely embezzle it. She's obsessed with money."

As soon as he finished speaking, An An came back crying.

This child usually doesn’t like to cry, could he have had a fight with someone?

Yang Niannian stuffed the letter back into the envelope and placed it on the table, then held An An's shoulder and asked with concern.

"Why are you crying? Did you fall down or have a fight with some other kids?"

Zhou Haiyang, who was running behind An An, was panting and complaining loudly.

"It was Aunt Yu who made An An cry. She stepped on An An's foot and didn't apologize. She also said that you spent all your money on yourself, wearing different clothes every day, and didn't buy An An a TV to watch."

Yang Niannian's eyes narrowed, "This Yu Hongli is really a troublemaker."

She wiped An An's tears and said crisply, "Don't cry. I will buy a color TV and put it in your room tomorrow. You can watch it in bed at night instead of going to other people's houses."

An An and Zhou Haiyang have been getting close to each other lately and they sleep together at night.

Wang Fengjiao had a laissez-faire attitude towards the boy. When Zhou Haiyang didn't go home to sleep, she didn't ask any questions. She just told Zhou Haiyang not to act naughty at Yang Niannian's house and not to enter Yang Niannian's bedroom without knocking on the door.

Zhou Haiyang is usually a bit naughty, but he is very obedient at Yang Niannian's home.

"Aunt, are you serious?" An An's tears suddenly stopped.

Even Zhou Haiyang was shocked. "Aunt, you are not teasing the kids, are you? TVs are very expensive. I heard from them that one costs several hundred dollars."

Yang Niannian smiled and said, "When has Auntie ever lied to you? As long as there is no thunder and rain tomorrow, I will definitely buy the TV for you.

"Oh yeah, my aunt is going to buy a TV. I'm going to tell my mom the good news."

Zhou Haiyang ran home happily as if he were energized by chicken blood. When he ran out of the main room, he tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Lu Shishen supported him in time and he did not fall. He stood firm and ran away at a flash.

Before he even got back to the door, he shouted, "Mom, Mom, Aunt Yang said she's going to buy a TV tomorrow."

Zhou Bingxing was massaging his wife's shoulders. When he heard his son's voice, he quickly stood up and kept some distance from his wife. He was a little unhappy about being disturbed and glared at Zhou Haiyang who pushed the door open.

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you know how much a TV costs?"

"I'm not kidding, it's true. Aunt Yang even said she wanted to buy a big color TV." Zhou Haiyang explained confidently.

Wang Fengjiao believed it. "I think it might be true. Nian Nian made some money from her business, and Captain Lu's allowance is also high. It must be enough to buy a TV."

Zhou Bingxing was happy, "If you really buy it, I'll take you to the head of the group to watch TV tomorrow night."

"It's not even a month yet, how can I go?" Wang Fengjiao glared at the man, "It's all your fault."

Zhou Bingxing touched his nose. He felt sorry for his wife, but who knew that thing had a hole in it?

Zhou Haiyang was confused, "Mom, why isn't it a full month yet?"

"What are you asking, kid? Go, take a shower."

Zhou Bingxing kicked his son lightly on the butt. Zhou Haiyang covered his butt and cried out "ouch", running faster than a rabbit.

Compared to Zhou Haiyang, An An was not so happy. She twisted her face and asked worriedly, "Aunt, if we buy a TV at home, will we be unable to afford meals?"

Yang Niannian chuckled, "Don't worry, your father is here, so we won't starve."

“Oh, great.”

An An was very happy and gave Yang Niannian a kiss on the cheek. After that she felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head and smiled foolishly.

Lu Shishen walked up to An An and urged her with a frown, "Go take a shower."

As soon as An An heard his father's words, he quickly ran into the house to get some clothes to change into.

Yang Niannian pulled Lu Shishen back to the inner room, "I just promised An An to buy a TV tomorrow, and I can't break my promise, otherwise, they won't believe me anymore. Why don't I just buy the refrigerator as well? Wouldn't it be a bit noisy to buy so many things at once? Will it have any impact on you?"

Lu Shishen shook his head, "No, if the people all live a well-off life, it is a symbol of peace and prosperity for the country. The country supports individual businesses so that the people can live a good life."

Yang Niannian was relieved. "It's good that it won't affect you. I didn't dare to buy it before because I was worried that it would affect you. Since it won't affect you, I will buy it tomorrow and ask Jiang Yang to deliver it to you."

Thinking of something, she said excitedly, "Today Jiang Yang and I sold all the steel in the big iron shed and added a tractor to the scrap yard. When the business is more stable, I will buy a second-hand forklift to use first. After these things are sorted out, I want to buy a storefront in the city center. What do you think?"

Lu Shishen analyzed, "Most of the property rights in the city center are in the hands of the government. If you want to buy, you can start with some storefronts that have not been rented out."

The government will not sell the storefronts that have been rented out, are generating profits, and have contracts that have not expired. On the contrary, some idle properties are easier to acquire.

Yang Niannian thought it made sense, and she couldn't suppress her excitement at the thought of buying a storefront.

"When I go to the city to buy a TV tomorrow, I will ask about the storefront. I see that the economy has been developing very fast in the past two years. If we buy a storefront now, the rent we earn from renting it out will be enough to support us in our old age."
