After calming down her elder sister-in-law Huang Yu, Li Jinfeng heard from her two sisters-in-law what had happened in Old Li's house that morning.
"Originally, today was the day to discuss Ailan and Cai Gangqiang's wedding, along with the gift and dowry. But Ailan wanted a bicycle, and the Cai family wanted to marry her this month. Neither side could convince the other, and things got heated.
The three sisters of the Cai family are really not thrifty. They took 21 cents from Grandpa, saying it was the morning's work points for four people.
When it comes to money, Zhao Meixia's face looks a little unhappy.
You don't even have time to use your own money, but you cheat outsiders out of it. What's going on?
Li Jinfeng was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Li Ailan's marriage was called off before it even started.
In this case, it will probably be more difficult to find a partner, right?
Li Jinfeng asked worriedly, "How is Grandpa feeling?"
"Grandpa was very angry. He even said that if anyone from the Cai family came to visit in the future, he would chase them away with a broom! But that's nothing. The most infuriating thing is Ailan. She insisted that grandpa sent them away on purpose and she also said that she must marry Cai Gangqiang and even wanted the bicycle." Zhao Meixia said as she shook her head. It was obvious that she didn't have a good impression of her sister-in-law.
"It's like this now, why are you still getting married?" Li Jinfeng was stunned.
Most people would not even try to hide away if they knew their husbands-in-law were such people. But why did Li Ailan rush to join them? Was she really prepared to demonstrate a spirit of self-sacrifice and suffer in the Cai family?
"That's right, who knows what she's thinking! But Jinfeng, you have to put away your bicycle. If no one is here, you have to lock the door like we did today." Huang Yu said.
"I know!"
Li Jinfeng now locks the door whenever she is not at home.
The bicycle was something that everyone saw, and she couldn't leave room for it.
She is not worried about other things. Once she goes out, they will all be filled in the space, and others cannot steal them even if they want to.
After gossiping for a while and getting a clear understanding of what happened at home throughout the day, Li Jinfeng returned to her room.
The first thing she did when she returned to the house was to open the box that Lu Jianguo and Lu Mingfang had left for her.
When the box was opened, some cloth and several ready-made clothes were found inside. Their preferences were all based on Lu Mingfang's aesthetic taste. They were all skirts, and the colors were also the most common colors of that era: white, black and blue.
Then there were some food. Li Jinfeng remembered what Lu Mingfang said, that Lu Jianguo had left her a letter and also wrote his address.
She found the letter and a food coupon book at the bottom of the box.
Then there was a large pile of things wrapped in cloth, which looked like money.
Li Jinfeng read the letter first. The content of the letter was very brief, and the gist of it was asking Li Jinfeng to take care of herself.
Then, Lu Jianguo said that he had left some money, of which 3,000 yuan was given to Li Fuman by Lu Jianguo’s grandfather Lu Hechuan, and the rest was all left by Lu Jianguo for himself.
Then he wrote his address again neatly, probably because he was afraid that Li Jinfeng would forget his address.
Li Jinfeng opened the cloth bag and counted the Great Unity banknotes inside one by one.
It took nearly half an hour to count all the money.
The total is 6,852 yuan.
Three thousand yuan was given to Li Fuman, and the remaining three thousand eight hundred and fifty-two yuan was left to Li Jinfeng by Lu Jianguo.
Li Jinfeng sighed in her heart.
She never thought that Lu Jianguo would actually leave her so much money. In this era, this is definitely a huge sum of money, and it is a sky-high sum of money. You know, according to normal market prices, food in this era is only a few cents per pound, and meat is only fifty cents per pound.
