"Poor at home, rich on the road, take it."
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, what a smart guy!
She hasn't even used her ultimate move yet, and you gave it to her?
This money sponsor is quite something.
She spoke with difficulty.
"Dad, I can't accept it. If Mom knew..."
"Don't let her know."
Lin Jiaojiao quickly put the money into her pocket and pretended to be touched.
"Dad, you are so good to me!"
After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the bottle and added some more wine to Lin's father.
"Dad, it's still early today, please have another drink."
Li Qiufen, who was sewing shoe soles at Lao Qin's house next door, felt her right eyelid twitching all the time.
When I got home, I saw the father and daughter, who had nothing to do with each other, sitting together drinking.
It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
"Mom, you're here just in time. I have something to talk to you about!"
Li Qiufen's heart tightened, and when she turned around, she saw that the dead girl who was alive and kicking just now suddenly became pitiful.
"After my mother arranged this marriage for me, I asked around and found out that supplies were scarce on the island, with food and clothing becoming a problem. So I thought I'd buy some more supplies from my family before the wedding."
"That makes sense!"
“…”
Li Qiufen watched Lin Jiaojiao say something, and Lin's father echoed her from behind.
The ominous premonition becomes stronger!
"In this day and age, money alone is useless, you need tickets. Mom, can you change the two hundred yuan into tickets and give it to me in advance?"
The ticket costs two hundred yuan, and the dead girl is trying to grab it!
These days, a national unified ticket is harder to come by than money.
Li Qiufen would definitely not agree to this.
Li Qiufen suppressed her anger and tried her best to control her emotions.
"Jiaojiao, it's not that Mom won't give it to you, it's just that this ticket is so hard to come by. If I give it to you, the whole family will be left with nothing!"
Father Lin took a sip of wine and said nothing.
Tickets for two hundred yuan are indeed rare.
Lin Jiaojiao had long seen through Li Qiufen's little thoughts.
To put it bluntly, the reason why I arranged this marriage for the original owner was just for the 600 yuan betrothal gift.
Now that the betrothal gift is gone, I have to pay another two hundred.
Being able to speak properly so far is already tolerable enough!
I just don’t know whether Li Qiufen will give her the two hundred yuan honestly.
But when it comes to money, no matter how nice the words are, it's useless. She only believes in what's in her pocket.
She must get it today!
She slapped her forehead and laughed.
"Look at me, damn it, I didn't even make myself clear. Dad, the man's two children are injured, and I'm afraid I won't have my own children in this life."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Qiufen. Li Qiufen felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything.
Father Lin also took a sip of wine, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lin Jiaojiao continued, "Dad, I don't blame my family, but I have to consider our Lin family. The man is a regimental commander, seven years older than me, and he gave me 600 yuan in gifts. The people he met were all cadres. I don't want to embarrass you. If I don't say anything, will others think that our Lin family is selling our daughter for fame and fortune?"
"You're right."
Lin's father agreed immediately.
He also didn't want to lose face in front of his future son-in-law.
Li Qiufen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to say a word. She knew her husband too well.
He is a person who cares a lot about face.
Lin Jiaojiao's words hit him so hard that there was no room for change.
I really didn't expect that this little girl, who usually doesn't talk, is so scheming at the critical moment!
Lin Jiaojiao naturally didn't care what she was thinking. Seeing that her goal was half achieved, she continued speaking calmly.
"That day I happened to see my mother coming home with industrial coupons, so I thought of buying Ji Huaian a Shanghai watch, which would cost 120 yuan. My mother gave me food coupons, oil coupons, sugar coupons, and the like for the remaining 80 yuan."
The Lin family has only two children, and compared with other working-class families with many children, their treatment is still good.
As long as the two hundred yuan was not all food coupons, 120 yuan of industrial coupons and 80 yuan of food coupons, Lin's father immediately agreed.
No matter how reluctant Li Qiufen was, she had to take out the ticket.
After all, it was she who arranged this marriage for her stepdaughter to be her stepmother.
Her heart was bleeding. She had worked so hard to get the industrial tickets, and she saved them to buy a bicycle for Jinbao.
Before I knew it, it went into that dead girl's pocket again.
At this time, Lin Jinbao came back.
Li Qiufen was about to say hello, but Lin Jinbao didn't even raise his eyes, walked past her with a gloomy face and entered the room.
Li Qiufen was so angry. The silly girl could even coax money, but her silly son couldn't get it!
Because she had to pay 200 yuan in compensation, Li Qiufen felt pained every time she looked at Lin Jiaojiao. She went back to her room early today and had no time to care about Lin Jinbao.
After Lin's father and stepmother entered the room, Lin Jiaojiao knocked on Lin Jinbao's door, carrying the vegetarian dishes that she had packed but that Lin's father had not touched.
Lin Jinbao opened the door and saw the person coming in, his expression full of resentment.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Jiaojiao didn't mind and put the dishes on Lin Jinbao's desk.
"I'm just worried that you haven't eaten and are hungry. I couldn't bear to eat the food at the state-owned restaurant today, so I packed it all up and brought it back. My parents have already eaten the meat and vegetables, leaving only these two vegetarian dishes. You're still growing, so at least eat something."
Lin Jinbao was touched that his stepsister, whom he usually disliked, cared about him late at night.
Lin Jiaojiao took the opportunity to take out a big red plastic hairpin and handed it to Lin Jinbao.
"If my mom hadn't been eyeing that bracelet, I would have given it to Tang Lianlian. I asked someone to buy this hairpin in Shanghai. It cost quite a bit of money. Give it to Tang Lianlian. I'm sure she'll like it."
Lin Jinbao looked at the hairpin he had never seen before, his eyes shining: "Really?"
Lin Jiaojiao laughed: "How could I joke about you? I only have you as my biological brother. If I don't think about you, who else should I think about? You also know that I'm engaged. It's far away and remote, and I won't have my own children in the future. But why should I marry her?"
Lin Jinbao was puzzled: "Why?"
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Lin Jinbao with extremely sincere eyes: "Of course I'm thinking about you, silly brother. Tang Lianlian's family is from the machinery factory and looks down on us from the food factory. But it will be different when I marry him. I'm marrying a soldier, a cadre, and we will be a cadre family in the future. Only you will look down on Tang Lianlian, not her!"
Lin Jinbao's eyes lit up, and she felt that what her sister said was absolutely right.
Tang Lianlian has always been indifferent to him and usually only likes to play with those boys in the machinery factory.
When her sister married and moved to the island, his family became a cadre family, and Tang Lianlian realized how good he was.
Just as she was feeling excited, she noticed her sister's expression became lonely.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Lin Jiaojiao sighed.
"I'm telling you, you don't understand. I'll never have children of my own in this lifetime. A marriage without children is hard to maintain, so I want to give the man some money to buy some things for the two children. I heard he's quite well-off, but I don't know if the money I have is enough. He's the head of a regiment, and the people he interacts with are cadres. I also want to give him some money to make things right. I hope you can become a cadre in the future, Jinbao."
"Tang Lianlian will never dare to look down on you again."
