Zhao Gaidi was old and her voice was quite loud, which attracted many people in the compound to come out and watch.
Of course, Sister Ma would not suffer any loss. She spoke louder than her and revealed all the ugly things in her family.
"Everyone, listen up! This family is so shameless! To get the bride price, they introduced the girl to a former prisoner, forcing her to secretly ask someone else to find a partner. I introduced her to Cheng Jianyong, so it wasn't a loss, was it? They still have the nerve to come and cause trouble for me?"
"How can you say Jianyong is no better than someone who's been in prison? His family even let their daughter marry someone who's been in prison, and they still look down on Jianyong."
Sister Tang also chimed in, "Exactly. Girls marry ex-prisoners. Wouldn't any random guy be better than one who's been in prison? Your family's still not satisfied. That's really interesting."
The older sisters who came out to watch looked at the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with contempt.
"This is really new. A prisoner is also letting his daughter marry. What kind of people are they?"
"Tsk tsk, even if my family introduces a prisoner to my daughter, she will be very happy, but others can't even introduce a group leader to her. This family is really eye-opening."
The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were originally very angry, but as they listened more, they felt something was wrong.
What group leader? Who introduced the group leader?
"Wait, who is the leader? What are you talking about?!"
Zhao Gaidi suddenly felt panic in her heart. Could it be...
Sister Ma sneered, "I introduced him, so what? A divorced leader with a child is better than the prisoner you introduced!"
The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law widened their eyes. What did she say?!
Liu Xuemei actually found a group leader?!
Li Cuifang couldn't believe it. "Tell me again, the person you introduced Xuemei to was the head of the group?"
Sister Ma rolled her eyes. "How many times do I have to tell her? I just introduced her to a group leader. What's wrong with that?"
Li Cuifang was as surprised as if she had been hit by a pie. "Mom, did you hear that? The leader! The person they introduced me to is the leader!"
Zhao Gaidi felt a little dizzy. Oh my god, that damn girl Liu Xuemei has such luck?
How could she marry a regiment leader?
That’s the team leader. I heard that one month’s allowance is equivalent to a worker’s annual salary!
Now that they knew their daughter was going to marry a regiment leader, how could they be dissatisfied? It was too beautiful!
Zhao Gaidi also instantly felt that it was no big deal for her family to introduce that man to Liu Xuemei. Wasn't it just a hundred yuan betrothal gift?
The team leader's monthly allowance is more than this amount. If he marries a virgin girl from her family, the betrothal gift must be several times more, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Gaidi became extremely excited and her breathing became rapid.
This is not just a few hundred dollars of betrothal gift, there will be many more benefits in the future!
As she thought about it, her heart became so hot that she immediately changed her words.
"Hey, sister Jinhong, tell me, didn't the flood flush out the Dragon King Temple? We didn't know you were going to introduce Xuemei to such a good girl. We were wrong. We apologize."
Zhao Gaidi was very flexible and immediately pulled her daughter-in-law along to sincerely apologize to Sister Ma.
Sister Ma was not a fool. She saw what they were thinking at the time, but she did not expose it. She just asked, "Where is Liu Xuemei?"
She was worried that Liu Xuemei had been discovered to have gone on a blind date on her own and that the Liu family had locked her up.
Li Cuifang quickly explained, "Xuemei followed the people from the health center to the countryside to give a lecture. She's a volunteer there, so she just went along."
After hearing them say this, Sister Ma felt relieved.
"Xuemei is back. Tell her to come and see me right away."
Sister Ma was thinking that now that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that Liu Xuemei was going to marry a regiment leader, they were not sure how they would make things difficult for Cheng Jianyong, so she had to give Xuemei a heads-up in advance.
Since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't know Cheng Jianyong's identity, it means that Liu Xuemei knows what kind of person her family is but is unwilling to tell them.
How could Zhao Gaidi and Li Cuifang not agree?
Since it concerns whether Liu Xuemei can marry the head of the group, they dare not neglect it at all.
The two men responded in a nice tone, put on a smile and said some nice words before leaving the compound.
As soon as they left, several neighbors who were watching started talking.
"I see these two people, as soon as they heard Jianyong was the head of the group, all they could see was money. I'm afraid if it really comes to fruition, the bride price will be sky-high."
"Her family is willing to marry their daughter to a labor camp inmate just for the bride price. They're completely obsessed with money. When they meet someone as well-off as Jianyong, how can they not try to squeeze him out?"
"I estimate that the betrothal gift must be at least 500 yuan, and I might have to give her family three turns and a ring."
We are all experienced people, who doesn’t know the little tricks of the Liu family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Sister Ma snorted, "When Xuemei comes back, I'll tell her that we have to find a way to prevent this family from getting away with it."
Jiang Manyue does have an idea, but she doesn't know if she will be criticized in this day and age.
But before she could figure out whether she could say this, someone spoke for her.
Neighbor Zhang Chaoying said bluntly, "If you don't want to give that family a discount, how can you say so? Just let Xuemei make the decision on her own and get the marriage certificate with Jianyong. Don't give that family a penny."
Sister Tang next to her also thought it was a good idea. "Jianyong is a sincere man. He won't treat his wife badly. You won't suffer any loss if you marry him."
After hearing what the others said, they really thought that this was the best way. They should just rip up the certificate. Whether or not to hold the wedding was secondary. They could just move into the compound and see what the other family would do.
Jiang Manyue didn't expect that these people would actually think this was a good idea, but after they said that, it seemed that Liu Xuemei wanted to get married quickly and leave her original family, and didn't want to let them get away with it, so this was the only solution.
Everyone chatted for a few more words before dispersing. Jiang Manyue brought the dishes to the sink and started chatting with Sister Ma while washing them.
"Sister Ma, do you think Xuemei will agree to get married to Brother Cheng directly?"
Sister Ma thought about it and nodded. "I think so. Xuemei is a person with her own ideas. If she doesn't have any ideas, can she ask someone to introduce her to someone?"
Jiang Manyue thought about it and agreed. Liu Xuemei was indeed a good person and open-minded. She probably dared to get married with Brother Cheng directly.
While the two were chatting, Jiang Manyue finished washing the vegetables. Seeing that it was almost time, she cut the vegetables and went to pick up the child.
The matter was quiet for a few days, and Jiang Manyue didn't get any new news, but she did wait for Lu Lin to come back.
On the day Lu Lin arrived home, Cheng Jianyong and Liu Xuemei went to get their marriage certificate, and Sister Ma successfully let everyone in the compound know within half an hour.
He was just on a mission and was away for only ten days. As soon as he came back, he found that Brother Cheng had obtained the marriage certificate. Lu Lin was stunned.
"What's going on? I was only there for ten days, and he already got the certificate?"
