Chapter 102 Most Interesting
"Why don't you go back to sleep for a while?" Jian Zhongliang said with an apologetic smile.
"Why are you sleeping? This quilt is as cold as a lump of ice. I finally managed to warm myself up a little, but after you made such a fuss, all the warmth is gone." Jian Qingyi was angry.
The main character is unyielding even when he is right.
"Dad is just afraid that you'll be cheated. You're still young and don't understand the wickedness of human nature. Before you get married, you must stay away from men and not let anyone take advantage of you." Jian Zhongliang advised earnestly.
"Especially those who are smooth-talking and like to get physical, you must stay away from them."
"You are still young, so let's not rush. In two years, let your second brother-in-law help you find a reliable one."
"Second brother-in-law? Second sister has a boyfriend?" Jian Qingyi had a bad feeling.
Jian Zhongliang ran to the door and took a look, making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, then closed the door with a bang.
"Dad told you, don't tell anyone else about it."
Jian Qingyi nodded.
"The political commissar likes your second sister." Jian Zhongliang lowered his voice.
"When their relationship is settled, ask your second brother-in-law to find you an honest and reliable woman. Dad doesn't seek wealth or fame, he just hopes that you can live a better life."
"Did your second sister tell you?" Jian Qingyi was quite curious about this.
"Does your second sister need to tell you this? If he didn't like your second sister, would he come to our house for dinner? Would he send us so many holiday gifts? Would he specially bring snacks and milk powder for you?" Jian Zhongliang analyzed them one by one.
Jian Qingyi: "..."
If the man hadn't just sworn to heaven in her room, she would have believed that she would soon have a second brother-in-law.
"Does Second Sister know that the political commissar likes her?" Jian Qingyi asked.
"You should know." Jian Zhongliang's tone was also uncertain.
Jian Qingyi smiled.
should……
I mean, it’s not confirmed yet.
"Don't tell anyone about this until the matter becomes clear!" Jian Zhongliang warned in a low voice.
"You'd better not tell anyone about it." Jian Qingyi replied to him.
Jian Zhongliang nodded.
This matter really cannot come out of their mouths.

The other side
When the Luo family members living on the first floor of the guesthouse heard Luo Zhenzhu say that the betrothal gift was 1,200 yuan, their faces immediately turned cold.
Especially Luo Zhenzhu's father, Luo Dayong, his face was so dark that water could drip out of it.
"Did the kid from the Jian family tell you that?" Listening carefully, there seemed to be a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
"I said it myself." Luo Zhenzhu frowned and looked at her father who seemed to have only money in his eyes.
"Are you mentally ill or something? Your mother and I told that kid only two thousand, and you still told him only twelve hundred?" Luo Dayong's chest was heaving, and he was obviously very angry.
two thousand……
One thousand and two...
There is a difference of eight hundred!
The extra eight hundred yuan was enough for them to build six large tiled houses.
"Yes! Zhenzhu, your father is right. Before the boy from the Jian family goes to tell his parents, you should stop him and tell him that you have misunderstood. The betrothal gift is two thousand." Zhenzhu's mother said hurriedly.
"I said this in front of his father, his mother and all his relatives." Luo Zhenzhu stood straight.
"You...you dead girl, how could I raise someone like you who doesn't know what's good for you..." Luo Dayong pointed at Luo Zhenzhu, his whole body shaking.
"Most of us who got married together got a betrothal gift of 990 yuan, and some even 660 yuan. Jian Yiwei's family gave us 1,200 yuan. What else are you not satisfied with?" Luo Zhenzhu was lying if she said she was not heartbroken by her parents' actions.
Since my parents said they would increase the bride price, have they ever thought about her future situation?
Have you ever thought about what the Jane family and relatives would think of her?
"I'm satisfied? What am I satisfied with? Even if I'm satisfied, what will happen to your three younger brothers in the future? How will they get married?" Luo Dayong slammed the table.
"It is your responsibility as parents to find wives for your younger brothers, not mine as their elder sister." Luo Zhenzhu stiffened her neck.
In the past, she often heard people say that the older generation favored boys over girls and sold their daughters to help their sons build houses and get married. She was secretly glad that her parents were not that kind of people.
Unexpectedly...
A bitter smile appeared on Luo Zhenzhu's lips.
"Which sister doesn't help her younger brother?" Luo Dayong said angrily.
"I've already agreed on twelve thousand for the betrothal gift." Luo Zhenzhu didn't want to argue anymore.
It's meaningless!
Luo Dayong stood up suddenly and seemed to want to say something, but Zhenzhu Niang gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him to stop.
The words have already been spoken, there is no point in arguing.
Unless you really want to lose face.
Luo Dayong glared at Luo Zhenzhu and sat down angrily again.
"Where is the private money you saved?" Zhenzhu Niang turned her head to look at Luo Zhenzhu.
"Private money?" Luo Zhenzhu smiled bitterly. "My monthly allowance is fifty yuan, and I'm sending you forty yuan..."
"Don't you still have ten dollars?" Pearl Lady frowned.
"Don't I need money when I'm such a grown-up?" If she was just a little disappointed before, now Luo Zhenzhu is completely disappointed.
Ten dollars a month, one hundred and twenty dollars a year.
Excluding the money she spent on gifts for visiting relatives, the money she earned in a year was not even enough to buy someone a cotton-padded jacket.
"That's not what I meant. I'm saving it for you!" Pearl's mother smiled gently.
"I have no money left. Last time Jian Yiwei's younger sister came to visit me in Beijing, she treated me to dinner several times, but I didn't have money to treat them back. Mom, why don't you give me some money so I can buy them some canned food or something to show my appreciation." Luo Zhenzhu also deliberately softened her tone.
She is not a three-year-old anymore.
Just because she doesn't say something doesn't mean she doesn't know it.
"Look at what you said. We're all going to be a family soon. Why do you still need to express your gratitude? Aren't you being too formal?" Zhenzhu's mother smiled and patted Luo Zhenzhu's hand.
"Oh, by the way, didn't you say that Jian Yiwei's sister is also a cultural soldier like you? How come another girl has appeared?"
"Yi Yi is the daughter of Yiwei's second uncle." Luo Zhenzhu suppressed the bitterness in her mouth.
"What does Yiwei's second uncle do for a living? He's willing to spend money on his daughter." The question that Zhenzhu Niang is most interested in is [money!].
I have to say, there are not two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
While eating at the table, Zhenzhu Niang and Luo Dayong's eyes were fixed on Jian Zhongliang.
Because of the collective wedding, the army specially set up a small canteen to receive family members who came to attend the wedding banquet.
On weekdays, there is plenty of vegetarian dishes, steamed buns and rice.
But if you want to eat meat or order dishes, you have to pay for it yourself.
When the in-laws met for the first time, Jian Zhongkang and Wang Xiujuan naturally chose the best one.
Everything flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running in the woods was counted one by one.
"Liqiu, eat more. You've lost weight." Jian Zhonglan kept picking up food for Jian Liqiu.
If Jian Qingyi hadn't known her plan, she would have thought that Jian Zhonglan had a change of heart.
"Aunt, you eat it by yourself! It's too much and I can't finish it." Jian Liqiu felt uneasy.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
