As soon as Sun Guoan said that, Chen Guizhen immediately reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
Sun Guoan glared at her.
Chen Guizhen hesitated before withdrawing her hand.
Sun Jiarou was completely stunned. Although she couldn't quite remember some of the little things from her previous life, she clearly remembered that her family had a very good impression of Han Xiaoyu.
When they got married, his parents only asked for a dowry of 200 yuan, and didn't ask for anything else.
They only accepted it because Han Xiaoyu insisted on buying it.
Why is this happening in this lifetime?
She knew that Han Xiaoyu didn't have much money right now and would only become very rich in a year, but she really couldn't wait another year.
That's why she came to Han Xiaoyu early in the morning to discuss countermeasures.
I'd like to ask if he could borrow some money from his family or other people first, and then pay them back a year later.
"What did you say? You want three hundred yuan plus a three-wheeled radio and a sewing machine?"
Han Xiaoyu paused in his act of stuffing a biscuit into his mouth, and frowned.
Having already lived together for a lifetime, Sun Jiarou could tell immediately that he was unhappy.
“My dad’s idea is that we can’t be lower than the Xie family,” Sun Jiarou said hesitantly. “You know, Xie Zhuo gave Xu Yan a lot of money that day.”
“My mom said…this concerns our family’s reputation, so you should think of a way to deal with it.”
Han Xiaoyu remained silent.
“I remember you’ll be very rich in a year,” Sun Jiarou continued, “Why don’t you just borrow some now and pay it back in a year?”
Han Xiaoyu remained silent.
“Or do you mean you don’t care about me at all?” Sun Jiarou’s eyes reddened.
Han Xiaoyu remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
He only spoke when Sun Jiarou was starting to get a little disappointed, "Alright, you can go home first. I'll come to your house to propose marriage by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Really?" Sun Jiarou looked at Han Xiaoyu with a surprised expression.
“Really,” Han Xiaoyu smiled at her.
Sun Jiarou is indeed quite beautiful. She has large eyes with dark and bright pupils. She is not only the most beautiful girl in the entire Qingshan Brigade, but also the most beautiful girl in the surrounding production brigades.
What's more, she knows how to dress and present herself as a city girl all the time.
But compared to truly beautiful city girls, she's not quite attractive enough.
Leaving aside distant examples, let's talk about Xu Yan right now.
Even without seeing her face, just looking at her back, you would think she must be a beautiful woman when she turns around.
That's what charisma is.
In her previous life, Sun Jiarou went through university and was often ridiculed as a country bumpkin.
In his previous life, Han Xiaoyu went to great lengths to please Sun Guoan and marry Sun Jiarou in order to gain some assistance from Sun Guoan and because he genuinely liked Sun Jiarou.
But in this life...
Putting aside the fact that the Sun family is now in such a predicament, Sun Guoan himself is in dire straits, barely able to protect himself.
It's this dowry... Don't think he'll actually believe that they're asking for so much just to outdo Xie Zhuo.
Actually, they wanted to patch up the food shortage!
Han Xiaoyu was thinking a lot. He waited until Sun Jiarou left before he finished chewing the biscuit in his mouth and turned to walk back to the dormitory.
Putting everything else aside, Sun Jiarou's words just now did give him a wake-up call.
In his previous life, he went to the mountains to pick wild mushrooms and unexpectedly discovered a century-old ginseng. He bought it directly on the black market for more than 30,000 yuan.
It was precisely because of this money that he was able to spend a large sum of money to buy the exam syllabus after learning about the college entrance examination, and also to have the money to hire teachers to help them with exam questions.
Then, he and Sun Jiarou both got high scores and were admitted to top universities in City B.
Later, I had the opportunity to meet more people, acquire better resources, and ride the wave of reform to make rapid progress.
Whether the ginseng is dug up a year earlier or later makes little difference, but it would be a complete upheaval for his life.
Now that he doesn't have to work in the fields, why doesn't he take this opportunity to start a business on the black market, or use the money to find a way to go directly to Hong Kong?
Based on his experiences in his previous life, 30,000 yuan would be more than enough for him to develop his career in Hong Kong.
After all, this is the time when his former powerful friends are short of money.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Han Xiaoyu strode into the dormitory, not even bothering to wash up. He opened his suitcase, took out a clean set of clothes that he usually couldn't bear to wear, and went to the yard to find a shovel. He was about to head into the mountains.
Seeing him going in and out, Wu Shi thought something had happened and quickly chased after him in his cloth shoes.
"Brother Han, where are you going?"
"It's okay, go back to sleep," Han Xiaoyu glanced at him, then turned and left.
In the mountains.
Xu Yan has arrived at the place described in the book where Han Xiaoyu discovered the wild ginseng.
She bent down and carefully parted the grass to start searching.
To be honest, apart from the ginseng that was washed and sold, she had never seen ginseng growing in the ground.
I've heard that wild ginseng has a spirit and can move around, but I don't know if it's true.
She searched very carefully.
Suddenly, her hand stopped at a spot where a flower grew that was different from the others.
It can't really be called a flower; it's a small cluster of tiny red fruits that look quite pretty.
Xu Yan stared at it for a while, and after confirming that it was similar to the wild ginseng described by the original author, he quickly took out the small shovel he had brought and started digging.
The value of ginseng lies in its roots.
If you accidentally break off the rootlets, the value of the ginseng will be greatly reduced.
When Xu Yan read the book, Han Xiaoyu accidentally broke off two tendrils while digging, so the price he sold them for was lower than the price of the intact ones.
If she were more careful and didn't damage it at all, wouldn't she be able to sell it for a higher price?
Xu Yan patiently dug little by little, and later he didn't even need a shovel anymore, he just dug with his fingers. It took him almost an hour to dig out all the ginseng.
She wrapped the ginseng in the cloth she had brought and then reburied the area where she had dug it up.
Only when it was almost impossible to see any signs of being dug up did we begin to descend from the other side of the mountain.
She didn't plan to bring the ginseng back to the educated youth settlement, as it was too crowded and dangerous.
After thinking it over, I decided to take him to Xie Zhuo's house first.
At this time, Xie Zhuo should have already gone to work, leaving only the two little ones at home, which would make it easier for her to process the ginseng.
Xu Yan was unaware that shortly after she left, someone came up from the other side of the mountain.
It was Han Xiaoyu who rushed over in a hurry.
The memory of digging for ginseng was a long time ago, and he couldn't recall the exact location for a while. He lingered on the outer edge of the mountain for a while before vaguely remembering something, and then he quickly ran over.
