As a mother-in-law, Jiang's mother will never favor any of her sons or daughters-in-law. She always insists on fairness and justice, so the daughters-in-law all get along well with each other.
When the two youngest daughters in the family were still in school, the sons were willing to help support the two younger sisters, but the old couple refused.
In fact, the old couple has only had some financial security in the past two years. Jiang Mengxue's older sister is 24 years old this year, four or five years older than Jiang Mengxue.
When she got married, Jiang Mengxue had just been admitted to university.
The weddings of their previous sons cost a lot of money, and their daughter's wedding also required a dowry. The old couple planned to borrow money from their sons, but they didn't expect that their sons' wives could see that the old couple might not be well off, so each of them gave her ten yuan.
If Jiang Mengxue hadn't been admitted to university and received a subsidy, she might have had to borrow money to pay for tuition.
Jiang Mengran's academic performance was not good enough. He failed to get into high school, so he stopped studying and went home to help with the housework.
The first few children were all married, leaving two daughters. One went to school without any money from her family, and the other went home to earn work points. Only then did the family have some spare money.
"Go to bed and don't wait any longer. Your father and your elder brother will definitely wait until the very end before coming back. We can talk about it tomorrow.
Your father is the team leader, but he doesn't earn more work points than others, and he is always busy every day.
Erya, I see you brought some food back. You can cook for yourself at home tomorrow. You will definitely get off work early tomorrow, so you can cook when we get back."
"I understand, mother. Don't worry about me. I won't starve on my own."
Jiang Youfu, Jiang's father, has enjoyed some benefits since he was chosen as the team leader. He can earn twenty work points every day and a few dollars in salary every month.
Compared with other people in the village, it is already very good. At least I can make a few dozen yuan a year.
After a quick wash, the two sisters returned to their room.
When Jiang Mengxue came back, she put the cloth directly in her room. Now she took it out and looked at it to see what kind of clothes she could make for her sister.
"Sister, are these really all for me? This much is enough to make several sets of clothes."
"Make two tops or skirts with the purple plaid and two pairs of pants with the black. You can use whatever you like. If there are any leftovers, give them to Mom."
"Sister, why did you think of making clothes for me this time?"
Jiang Mengran's heart was beating fast. She was most afraid that such a good thing would happen to her suddenly. She didn't dare to wear the clothes without asking for details.
Jiang Mengxue laughed: "What else could it be? The last time I came back, I heard mom say she wanted to introduce you to someone, but you didn't go to see them. What's the matter? Do you want to stay at home and be an old maid?"
Jiang Mengxue didn't want to force her sister to get married.
If it were in the future, even if her sister never got married, she would not say a word, because she also thought so in her heart.
But we have to consider the actual situation. In this era, there may be girls in the city who get married in their twenties, but in the countryside they are really old maids.
Unless the two of them are engaged early, it doesn't matter if they get married two years later.
This phenomenon also exists in rural areas. First, the engagement is made, and then ways are found to keep the girl for another two years so that she can work at home for two more years, but this is an engagement.
It's rare to see someone like Jiang Mengran who has no partner, no engagement, and is still single at the age of almost twenty.
Not to mention that Jiang Mengxue and Jiang Mengran’s sisters are not married yet, why is the younger sister so anxious?
To be frank, there is really no matchmaker in their village who dares to come and propose marriage to Jiang Mengxue.
Based on her conditions, she must be looking for a partner in the city, definitely someone who lives close to the city.
Even if you get married a few years later, you can still find someone.
But Jiang Mengran is different. She has a rural household registration and graduated from junior high school but has no job.
In rural areas, unless the family is extremely poor, children's marriages are usually arranged early. It will be even more difficult to find a suitable one when they grow up.
"Every time I ask you, you never tell me. Your family won't force you to get married. Even if they do find you a partner, they'll try to find someone who meets your requirements.
But at least you should tell us what kind of person you like. No matter what, your family can discuss it properly. You can't keep dragging it out like this. When you are old, you can only find someone who is divorced. Is this what you want?"
Jiang Mengran was originally afraid of her sister, and now she was being criticized, she didn't dare to say a word. If she continued to speak, she would almost cry.
The longer she remained silent, the more uncomfortable Jiang Mengxue felt.
What makes me angry is her personality. She keeps everything in her heart. Even her twin sister can only guess based on telepathy. If they get married in the future, will the couple still have to guess like this when they live their lives?
"You're a soft persimmon like you. If you go out, you'll be bullied to death. You keep everything in your heart and don't say it out loud.
I didn't mean to scold you, I just wanted to have a good chat with you. I haven't been home in the past few years and rarely talked to you about these things.
What kind of partner do you want to find? What are your requirements? Or do you already have someone you like? No matter what you think, tell me first and I will analyze it for you. I won’t tell my mother or the others. "
Jiang Mengran still didn't know how to start the conversation. In the past few years, there were people who introduced her to potential partners, but she felt that none of them were suitable, so she didn't meet any of them.
