Jiang Lin smiled and said, "That's not true. Auntie, how could I possibly cheat Wu Yue? Wu Yue chose him on her own. Oh, you don't know, I sent her out to help a friend with work, and Pu Jinnan was there too. After a few interactions, they fell in love with each other."
"Pu Jinnan is a good man, about 26 or 27 years old. He treats Wu Yue very well. He only has a father at home, so Wu Yue won't feel wronged if she marries him. He also asked how much the betrothal gift is. If it's suitable, we'll do it. I asked Yuhe to ask Wu Yue, and she really likes him."
Qian Guilan was silent. Her daughter liked him, but she was not very happy. What could a mute do?
Jiang Lin said, "He helped me make the cabinets for my wedding. He also made a stable salary of 30 yuan from working outside. Master Pu also said that if Wu Yue was willing to get married, they would build a new house."
When Qian Guilan heard the figure of thirty yuan, she was a little tempted. Apart from people in the city, who could earn thirty yuan a month now?
Not to mention that this guy named Pu Jinnan can also build cabinets.
Jiang Lin gave Qian Guilan some time to think about it. After a while, he said, "Aunt, if you're not suitable, I'll turn it down, but Wu Yue might be sad."
Qian Guilan sighed and said, "Let me think about it again."
She added, "Did you know that your uncle went from house to house throughout the village last night asking for money?"
Jiang Lin shook his head: "I don't know. Why do you want to borrow money? Is there something urgent?"
Qian Guilan sneered: "The old woman fell into the hospital. I heard that the surgery alone costs 80 yuan. Now the two sons have to pay 40 yuan each. Your uncle has no money, so he can only go out and borrow."
Jiang Lin didn't say anything.
Qian Guilan: "I heard he didn't borrow enough. He might come back to find you. Don't pay any attention to him."
Jiang Lin: "You may not come back to see me, Aunt, let's talk about May first. If you think it's okay, mention the betrothal money and I'll go talk to them."
Generally, when villagers marry off their daughters, they just ask for a few dollars or ten yuan as a token of appreciation. If they ask for more and there is no dowry, what’s the difference between that and selling their daughter?
But on second thought, Pu Jinnan only has a salary of 30 yuan.
She has twenty dollars, which is not bad.
Qian Guilan: "Is fifty too much?"
Jiang Lin shook his head: "Not much."
Qian Guilan asked Jiang Lin: "How much do you give to the Yuhe family as a gift when you got married?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Lin choked and mumbled, "A few hundred, not too much. The Yuhe ingredients are good."
"That's true." Qian Guilan, like everyone else, thought that the cars and the scenes on the wedding day were all arranged by the Su family.
By this calculation, a few hundred yuan is not a lot.
In fact, Jiang Lin gave more than a thousand, but there was no need to say it.
Qian Guilan: "Then it's fifty, but we need to set up at least a few tables. Although May is living outside now, she still has her family. Don't bring her back secretly."
Jiang Lin nodded: "I know. I'll let you meet with Master Pu when the time comes, and we can discuss the details later."
…
After dinner, Su Yuhe went to the pharmacy to prepare medicine for Yu Liping.
Shi Kangyuan: "They haven't said whether they want you to treat them yet. If you do it in advance, what will you do when they don't need you?"
"Don't worry about your medicine," Su Yuhe smiled at him and said firmly, "She will definitely come to me. Don't underestimate a woman's desire to be a mother."
"That's right. Once you've got the medicine, come and learn massage. I'll teach you something new today."
Speaking of massage, Su Yuhe said angrily: "Grandpa Shi, you tricked me last time. It's not for cooling down the body at all! I massaged Brother Lin, and it was like taking medicine! My bones are about to fall apart!"
Shi Kangyuan blinked: "Ahem, maybe I remembered it wrong, but this time it's definitely right, you come..."
Despite what she said, Su Yuhe still learned new massage techniques from Shi Kangyuan.
After returning to the house, Su Yuhe took out the mugwort essential oil.
Jiang Lin knew at a glance that Su Yuhe was going to give him a massage. The last time she did, he felt so comfortable all over.
This time he took off his shirt conscientiously, leaving only his shorts, and lay down on the kang with a smile: "My wife has worked hard again."
"Stop talking nonsense and lie down."
Halfway through, I heard an urgent call from outside: "Su Zhiqing! Su Zhiqing, are you asleep?"
Su Yuhe felt the voice was familiar and ignored Jiang Lin, stepping over him and getting off the kang.
Jiang Lin got up and followed Su Yuhe with the oil lamp in hand: "Who is it? Looking for someone so late at night?"
Walking out of the yard, Su Yuhe recognized Li Yan's voice and suddenly thought of Xu Yun. She quickened her pace to open the door: "Li Yan, why are you here?"
Li Yan saw Jiang Lin with his bare chest following Su Yuhe, and felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he had disturbed someone else's good time.
But thinking of Xu Yun, Li Yan didn't care about anything else: "Su Zhiqing, please save Xiaoyun quickly. She is having a difficult labor. The midwife said there is no way and she needs to be sent to the hospital. But if we wait for so long to get to the hospital, we don't know what will happen. Xiaoyun asked me to come find you, I..."
Su Yuhe understood that Xu Yun was having a difficult delivery.
Her legs went limp, but Jiang Lin quickly supported her.
Su Yuhe grabbed Jiang Lin's hand: "Quick, bring my bag over here, and Grandpa Shi!"
Shi Kangyuan's house was close to the door. When he heard Su Yuhe calling her, he answered from inside and hurried out with a small bag in his arms.
Jiang Lin took out his bag and ran to the educated youth site with Su Yuhe first. Shi Kangyuan was old and walked slowly, so Li Yan led him from behind.
Li Yan was worried that something might happen to Xu Yun, although he didn't know why Su Yuhe insisted on letting this "relative" go with him.
But he knew Su Yuhe must have her reasons for doing this. Li Yan took two quick steps and squatted down in front of her: "Old man, I'll carry you. Walk faster."
"That's fine." Shi Kangyuan climbed onto Li Yan's back with a grunt.
Su Yuhe arrived at the educated youth site and went straight in. The educated youth team leader and Dai Chunhua and others were standing in the yard.
Seeing Su Yuhe, Dai Chunhua was stunned: "Su Zhiqing? Why are you here?"
Su Yuhe didn't have time to explain to her. She called out to the squad leader and hurried to Xu Yun's room.
She heard Xu Yun's very weak voice and went in grabbing her bag.
Jiang Lin couldn't go in, so he stopped outside and looked at Su Yuhe's back.
To be honest, he was a little panicked. He finally managed to convince himself that giving birth was not that scary, it was just a nightmare.
In reality, it is rare to see anyone die from childbirth.
Unexpectedly, this incident with Xu Yun happened. Listening to the increasingly weak voice, Jiang Lin pursed his lips and his eyes were dim.
As Su Yuhe entered the room, the smell of blood hit her nose. She quickly ran to Xu Yun and said, "Xu Yun? I'm Yuhe, I'm here."
Xu Yun forced his eyes open: "Yuhe... please, help me look after the child..."
There was a midwife in the room, and two educated youth who had given birth before were helping out.
