"Mom, Ailan is not that kind of person. She said she would bring the betrothal gifts to our Cai family, and she will bring them to our Cai family. You have to believe her!" Cai Gangqiang said.
"Son, you are young and ignorant. You don't know that those women will say all kinds of nonsense to cheat money." Huang Qiuju spat and said with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Then he continued, "It's not impossible to let Li Ailan come in, but as I said before, you can't ask for a single cent of betrothal gift!"
"Mom, Ailan won't agree!" said Cai Gangqiang.
"If you won't agree, then don't even enter the Cai family's gate! Not to mention that we don't have the money to buy her a bicycle, even if we did, why would we buy one for a little girl?
She said her eighth brother had a bicycle and she could ask him for it, or at least ask her family for it. She was a woman getting married, so why not ask for it now? After she got married, she would become an outsider.
At this moment, Huang Qiuju and Li Ailan had the same thoughts, both wanting to get benefits from each other.
Thus, the two sides came to a standoff.
Cai Gangqiang felt a headache, but after listening carefully, he found that both sides had their reasons, and he didn't know who to listen to.
Until his mother Huang Qiuju suddenly said, "Son, why don't you tell Li Ailan that we have the bicycle and 100 yuan ready, but we can only give them to her after she gets married. Otherwise, these good things will end up in the pockets of the Li family."
Huang Qiuju thought, let’s trick the person over first.
If you regret it later, you are already a member of the Cai family, so what can you do?
"Mom, is this really okay?" Cai Gangqiang hesitated because his family didn't have these things at all. It was obvious that his mother was lying.
"What's wrong with that? She was the one who wanted to marry you, who can you blame?" Huang Qiuju sneered, looking indifferent.
Thinking that Li Ailan could marry him, Cai Gangqiang agreed.
At worst, when she gets married, he will let Ailan do less work and make it up to her in other ways.
…
Li Jinfeng waited until Li Ailan left before returning to the production team.
After returning, she went to visit Zhang Xiulan.
Perhaps it was because she had been eating better recently and there were no people like Li Aiju coming to disturb her, so Zhang Xiulan looked much better.
He even asked Li Jinfeng to go to the fields to work.
"Jinfeng, Mom feels much better now. My stomach doesn't ache like before anymore. I feel my strength is increasing every day. I want to get off the kang and work, even if it's just to cook a few meals for the family."
In the past, when she didn’t have enough to eat, Zhang Xiu Lan felt she had no energy every day and had to grit her teeth to persevere in her work.
Now she drinks cans of malted milk and eats two eggs every day. Zhang Xiulan feels much better, but she just doesn't feel comfortable.
When I think about the fact that I don’t do any work and yet I can eat so well.
She felt that she owed others.
"Mom, there's no rush to work. Once you give birth to the baby and have your confinement period, I won't stop you if you want to work!" said Li Jinfeng.
"But... it's not a good idea for me to just lie there all the time. I haven't earned a single work point yet, and I'm afraid..."
"Mom, isn't it enough for the Li family who don't earn work points? One more person like you won't make much. Besides, grandpa and my elder and second brothers didn't say anything, so don't be embarrassed!" said Li Jinfeng.
Li Ailan and Li Aiju from the Li family didn't earn any work points either.
Aren’t we still living comfortably every day?
