Chapter 103 More Understanding
Qin Yu came back to her senses from her shyness just now, and heard Su Nanzhi's series of words. She looked at Su Nanzhi with some dissatisfaction, "Nanzhi, didn't you tell me before that as long as the man is good to you, nothing else matters?"
"And if Liu Shengli gives me a dowry of more than 60, her elder and second sisters-in-law will be unhappy."
Su Nanzhi felt helpless about her friend's honesty, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with her own stupidity in the past.
"Xiaoyu, can't you learn a lesson from what happened to me and Qin Lie?"
"Before Qin Lie joined the army, he treated me quite well in the village. But after he joined the army, he looked down on me and even cancelled our engagement."
Qin Yu looked at Su Nanzhi apologetically, not expecting that he would touch upon Su Nanzhi's sore spot.
You know, she had seen how much Su Nanzhi liked Qin Lie before.
Su Nanzhi looked indifferent and continued brainwashing.
"So sincerity changes rapidly, and love in the end depends entirely on conscience." Su Nanzhi said word by word: "Only when I have the money in my hand will I not cheat you."
Su Nanzhi, who has been brainwashed by big data, can easily come up with a large number of melodramatic sentences.
Qin Yu's face flushed red. "You...you're talking about love or not. It's so embarrassing."
Su Nanzhi was annoyed. "If Liu Shengli really married our village beauty for 60 yuan, it would be so shameful."
"And I don't think Liu Shengli is worthy of you."
Because of Su Nanzhi's strong attitude, Qin Yu was a little timid, but what Su Nanzhi said was somewhat contrary to the education he received.
"Brother Shengli is actually quite nice. He has a good temper, is knowledgeable, and can tell jokes..."
Su Nanzhi wasn't here to curry Liu Shengli's favor, so she interrupted her immediately, "If you give me your private money, I can find you eight or ten good-tempered, knowledgeable, and talkative men."
Who doesn't know how to make money just by talking?
"You...what nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Qin Yu was frightened by Su Nanzhi's bold words and his face turned pale. He immediately looked around in panic and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one around.
If someone with ulterior motives heard what Su Nanzhi said, she could be arrested and reformed for having poor conduct.
Since Su Nanzhi said this, it was naturally after observing that there was no one around.
"Xiaoyu, anyone can talk good words, but you have to see what he actually does before you can make a judgment."
Seeing Qin Yu looking thoughtful, Su Nanzhi didn't say anything more.
Although Ding Xiaoyu didn't say anything, her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Su Nanzhi.
What Su Nanzhi said did not fit in with the current era, but she found it surprisingly reasonable.
Qin Yu was still digesting what Su Nanzhi said. After saying hello to Su Nanzhi, he returned home in a restless mood.
When she got home, her mother Li Shulan was already busy in the kitchen.
"You've been missing since early this morning, girl. You're about to get married, but you're still hanging around."
Seeing her daughter looked lost, Li Shulan was a little curious, but didn't say anything more.
"Did you go to see Nanzhi?"
Qin Yu nodded and Li Shulan sighed.
Because Qin Yu and Su Nanzhi had a good relationship, she could be said to have watched Su Nanzhi grow up. She originally thought that Su Nanzhi would be able to live a good life after visiting her relatives in the army, but she did not expect that when she came back, her officer husband was gone and she was seriously ill.
but……
"Don't go to Nanzhi anymore in the future."
Qin Yu came back to his senses when he heard these words and looked at Li Shulan.
Li Shulan was chopping vegetables, not even looking up. "You're getting married soon. What if you get into trouble when bad luck comes?"
Although she sympathized with Su Nanzhi, she was afraid that Su Nanzhi would bring bad luck to her daughter. After all, Su Nanzhi's parents were both dead and she was seriously ill. This was a bit evil.
Qin Yu was a little unhappy when she heard her mother say that about her good friend. "I'm not afraid of bad luck, and Nanzhi's illness will definitely be cured."
Li Shulan just thought that Qin Yu was speaking out of anger. After all, Su Nanzhi's illness was diagnosed by Zhou Laogen from the village and confirmed by the educated youth from the city.
"Mom, how much do you give to my sister-in-law when my brother gets married?"
Qin Yu did not continue to argue with Li Shulan about the fact that Su Nanzhi was not unlucky. Instead, he asked about the doubts that had just been in his mind.
Li Shulan didn't expect her to ask this question, so she stopped what she was doing and looked at her.
"Is it your sister-in-law who is gossiping in front of you?"
Although the three sons and their daughters-in-law usually get along well, there are bound to be no bumps in the road when people interact with each other.
She and Qin Dacang treated each other equally, and ignored trivial matters, letting her sons and daughters-in-law solve them themselves, and never interfering.
However, because Qin Yu was now engaged, things were getting chaotic at home again. They were afraid that she and Qin Dacang would give their daughter too much dowry.
This is like letting their own daughter teach them a lesson.
However, she and Qin Dacang had no guilt at all. "Your eldest sister-in-law got married early, and her family gave her 50 yuan as a betrothal gift. Your second sister-in-law married a few years later, and her family gave her 70 yuan. Your third sister-in-law married a few years ago, and her family gave her 100 yuan."
Because Li Shulan and Qin Dacang never told Qin Yu about these things, it was the first time that Qin Yu knew that the betrothal money of his three sisters-in-law was different.
This was completely different from what she had heard from Liu Shengli. She couldn't help but ask, "The three sisters-in-law have different amounts of betrothal gifts. Won't they make a fuss?"
Anyway, if her mother gave her brothers an extra piece of meat during dinner, she would be angry.
Li Shulan glared at her angrily, "Making a fuss? What's there to make a fuss about? Every family is like this."
"If you think other people's gifts are too much, then find another man."
"When your sister-in-law got married, the drought had only been going on for a few years, and the 50 yuan betrothal gift was no less than the 100 yuan today."
Qin Yu had never considered the devaluation of commodities. Before she could figure it out, she heard Li Shulan continue, "And when your third sister-in-law married into our family, she even thought a 100 yuan betrothal gift was too little."
Li Shulan was a little angry when she talked about this. The third daughter-in-law was from the town and her family conditions were not good, but she felt that she was from the town and wanted to ask for an exorbitant price from her family. Originally, she and Qin Dacang were not satisfied with this marriage.
But the third son liked her, and he gave his third daughter-in-law some extra money from his own pocket, so the marriage went smoothly.
Seeing this, she and Qin Dacang had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Having said that, Li Shulan simply complained to Qin Yu that her son had grown up to be disobedient.
Qin Yu didn't continue listening. She was still recalling when Liu Shengli talked to her about the betrothal gift. He only told her that the betrothal gift amount should be the same as that of his two sisters-in-law to avoid quarrels in the Liu family, but he didn't mention a word whether he would give it to her privately.
Although she doesn't want money, Liu Shengli has no choice but to do it.
Qin Yu had no idea that under Su Nanzhi's brainwashing, she had a better understanding of the bride price and Liu Shengli.
