Chapter 12: Birds Split into Nests, Trees Split into Branches (Page 1/2)

In the final analysis, she was just jealous.

Because when she first came into the family, she only received a dowry of 20 yuan and 36 legs.

Although it is quite glorious and respectable, it cannot be compared with the conditions that her brother-in-law offers to the woman when getting married. How can she balance this?

"Whatever gift Shiguo gives when he gets married is his own business, and he earned the money himself!" Han Shimin frowned.

"What do you mean his own earnings? We haven't divided the family property yet, so his earnings should also be included in the public property!" Li Xia gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care, I want to make up the betrothal gift, too. If you don't make up for it, I will never let you go!"

"How can we compare this time with that time? The country was founded not long ago!"

Mr. and Mrs. Han are older than Mr. Jiang and Zhou Guiyun. They have three daughters and two sons.

The eldest daughter is at the top, followed by the second daughter, and after one or two daughters comes the eldest son, Han Shimin.

There is a third daughter behind her, and finally the youngest son, Han Shiguo.

Han Shimin is seven years older than Han Shiguo, but he is not just seven years older. He also got married very early. He got married when he was twenty years old.

If we calculate it, it was thirteen years ago, and this year is 1968, so they got married in 1955.

When Li Xia first got married, they hadn’t even started eating from the big pot!

The dowry that the Han family gave to marry her was already quite generous!

But Li Xia didn't care, "Why can't we compare? We are both daughters-in-law of your old Han family. She can have one but I can't, right? Before she even gets married, your whole family is leaning towards her. If she gets married, will I still have a say in this family?"

Han Shimin became more and more excited as she spoke, and warned her, "Let me tell you, my parents are looking forward to Shiguo getting married. This matter has almost become a knot in our hearts. If you dare to make trouble, your parents will not forgive you!"

He is already 26 years old. Kids of the same age can already help with their daily lives, but he still has no place to go. As a parent, how could he not worry about him?

As for the fact that the second brother was satisfied with the girl and gave her such a generous dowry of three turns and one ring and forty-eight legs, Han Shimin was a little surprised, but he didn't have the confidence to say it.

Because the family has the conditions and can afford to live in a brick house, all that money is earned by Han Shiguo, the second son.

Otherwise, relying on this little bit of land, the whole family will have a hard time!

It’s rare for the second son to find a girl he likes nowadays, and if she’s willing to give such a large gift, that’s his own business.

The matchmaker said that the girl was not only six years younger than him, but also very pretty. She was also a teacher, young, beautiful and educated!

Since the second brother has the financial resources to pay the betrothal gift, what does it matter if he does? The main thing is that the marriage can be successful!

The key point is to marry the person and bring him to join the army before the holiday is over!

Li Xia was so angry that her face twisted!

…

On the way to the Five-Star Brigade, Jiang Xiaogu asked Han Shiguo a lot of questions in a chatting way, such as whether the army was very busy.

What is your current position, how much is your monthly salary, etc.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaogu would tell her elder brother and sister-in-law, Han Shiguo answered every question.

The army is quite busy, otherwise he wouldn't come back so rarely. But that was in the past. Now he is the battalion commander, which is much better than before.

Of course, there is not much time left to come back.

So if you get married, you must bring your wife with you to join the army.

As for his salary, he did not hide it. It is currently 70 yuan a month.

When they heard that the monthly salary was only 70 yuan, both Jiang Xiaogu and Zhang the Matchmaker were shocked!
