Chapter 1283: How much money do you have
Lin Yongqiang curled his lips, "Dad, we just got together and you're already thinking about the betrothal gift?"
Lin Jinshun said seriously, "You two are already grown up. Since both parties are willing, just get it done as soon as possible and get married, and you can put your mind at ease.
Live a good life. "
In their rural area, as soon as the two parties meet, as long as they are willing, the matchmaker will start discussing the gift and choosing a date for the engagement.
Girls in the city should settle down quickly to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yongqiang looked at Meiling and asked for her opinion.
"Meiling, what do you think?"
Meiling has a gentle temper. She said, "I'll discuss this with my sister."
"Okay, let us know once you've discussed it, and we'll get married as soon as possible."
Lin Yongqiang and Meiling stayed here for dinner. After they left, Lin Jinshun called Tang Min and asked her for Gu Deyu's phone number.
Ever since a telephone was installed in Gu Deyu's house, Lin Jinxun has never called.
Tang Min thought her father wanted to say hello to her, so she gave him her number without thinking too much.
Lin Jinshun made a long-distance call and after exchanging a few greetings with Gu Deyu, he got down to business.
"Brother, I called you because I want to ask you a favor."
"Old Lin, go ahead."
Lin Jinshun said, "It's like this, Lin Yongqiang has a girlfriend here, and I want the kids to settle down as soon as possible."
Gu Deyu heard his words and smiled, "This is a good thing."
Lin Jinshun's face was full of smiles. "Yes, it's a good thing. It's something I dare not even dream of."
At this point, his expression became serious, and he continued, "So, I would like to ask you to come to our village and find the village chief for me, and ask him to ask around in the village.
Who wants to buy my shabby yard? I want to sell it."
“Selling the yard?”
Gu Deyu was surprised when he heard this.
Lin Jinshun said, "Yes, I want to sell the yard, or the two plots of land around it."
"Lao Lin, are you short of money?
If you need money, just tell us and we'll find a way. Why are you selling your yard?"
Gu Deyu asked worriedly.
"I'm not living here anymore anyway."
Gu Deyu said seriously, "That's hard to say, who knows what the future holds?
I'm not saying that you can't live well in the city. What I mean is that for us rural people, having land and a yard will make us feel at ease at any time. If we don't want to stay in the city anymore, we will have a home. When we get old, we have to return to our roots. If you sell your yard, you will have nowhere to go when you want to come back in the future."
When Lin Jinshun heard what Gu Deyu said, he sighed in his heart. He also understood this truth.
When people get old, they have to return to their roots.
But he was just a farmhand at home and had no money. When he left his hometown, he sold pigs and cows, and after Tang Min gave birth to a child, he gave all the money to his grandson.
Now he helps Uncle Li clean and cook in the clinic. Tang Min does give him pocket money, but it is definitely not enough for his son to get married.
After all, this is in the city, so we definitely need to be more prepared.
He said to Gu Deyu, "Let's talk about the future later. Let's solve the current difficulties first. Yongqiang finally found a girlfriend. She is a very honest and decent girl. We can't let him miss this marriage just because we are poor. I will sell the yard first. After Yongqiang gets married, I can do whatever I want in the future."
"Brother, please help me make this trip."
Lin Jinshun emphasized it several times, and Gu Deyu had no choice but to respond, "Okay, I'll ask."
"Thanks, bro."
Gu Deyu hung up the phone, sat on the kang and sighed.
He understood Lin Jinshun's feelings and difficulties very well.
He was the same when he helped his eldest brother Gu Jinghui get married.
As long as the marriage can be arranged and my son doesn't remain single, I have thought of every possible way.
If it weren't for the allowance sent by his second son from the army, he would have been heavily in debt.
Gu Deyu thought for a moment and did not go to Shanghe Village, but called Gu Jingchuan and Tang Min.
At this moment, Gu Jingchuan and Tang Min were both at home.
"Jingchuan, is Lin Yongqiang dating someone?"
Gu Deyu asked.
Gu Jingchuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm dating someone. She's a pretty good girl."
"So...how is Yongqiang now?
Has he really turned over a new leaf?
Are you serious about your work? "
Gu Deyu asked tentatively.
Gu Jingchuan glanced at Tang Min who was playing with the child. "He has been completely transformed. He is serious about his work and has strong business capabilities. He has taken over Jingxiu's position as store manager. The business of the store is considered the best under the company."
His performance in the past two months is considered to be ace sales.
Gu Deyu was puzzled, "Then his salary should be good."
"Well enough."
Gu Deyu thought for a moment and said, "Since he has really changed for the better, it is a happy event for him to get married. You should help him appropriately. Otherwise, your father-in-law will have to sell the yard in his hometown."
"What?
Selling the yard?"
Gu Deyu spoke in surprise.
"Yes, he was heartbroken for Yongqiang."
Tang Min, who was playing with sweet potatoes, stretched out her hand to Gu Jingchuan, "Give me the phone, and tell Dad."
Tang Min answered the phone.
"Dad, what did you say?
My dad wants to sell the yard?"
Gu Deyu said, "Yes, he also wants to marry his daughter-in-law. He said she is a girl from the city and he wants to prepare a gift. He asked me to go to Shanghe Village to ask the village chief."
"Don't go to Shanghe Village to ask. That yard can't be sold. If it is sold, my father will be homeless."
After all, the city is not his home.
He will eventually have to do it.
"I know, didn't I inform you first?
Despite the character of your elder brother, you finally managed to bring him back to the right path. Besides, Yongqiang still has a job now. You can help him or give him more work so that he can earn his own money.
Ask your father to be less naughty."
Tang Min said, "Dad, you are very thoughtful."
Gu Deyu greeted his grandson and hung up the phone.
Later, Tang Min called Lin Yongqiang.
Then he got straight to the point, "How much money do you have now?"
"Xiao Min, why are you asking this?"
Lin Yongqiang looked alert.
"You want to borrow money?"
Tang Minqi was furious because Lin Jinshun was going to sell the yard for Lin Yongqiang. "Sir, tell me the truth and don't hide anything."
"I've only been working for half a year, and the raise I'll get in the next two months is only about 2,000 yuan. This is what I saved by living frugally. However, I haven't received my raise this month yet."
The basic salary in the store is 100 yuan a month, and the rest is commission. Lin Yongqiang earns so much in half a year, which is considered very good.
Tang Min heard that he was really saving money, so she softened her tone, "Talk to Meiling and save money. If you don't have enough money when you get married, I can lend you some. Tell dad not to sell the yard in your hometown. It's not worth much. It's a home after all. You'll have to visit your hometown in the future. If you sell it, you won't even have the thought of it anymore."
"Dad wants to sell the yard?"
Lin Yongqiang was even more shocked when he heard the news.
Tang Min said in a bad tone, "Of course, it's all for finding you a wife."
"Don't worry, I won't let him sell it."
Lin Yongqiang put down the phone with a heavy heart.
Afterwards, he slapped himself twice.
