Chapter 326 That's Not Okay
He Shuyun was not unhappy even though she knew her youngest son was working overtime.
I’m going to get married soon, so I should work hard.
Then, she told others about Wang Jianjun's affairs.
"Jianjun is getting married?" Wang Jianguo was a little surprised when he heard their words.
It’s not that I think my brother shouldn’t get married, but I think he’s finally come to his senses…
"Yes, now that it's settled, there won't be any problems in our family." He Shuyun sighed.
What she has been most concerned about in the past two years is her youngest son's marriage. Now that it has been settled, she is very happy.
I also like my daughter-in-law. As long as the two of us are happy, that's better than anything else.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun said, "The daughters-in-law in this city must want a lot of things, right? How much do they want as a betrothal gift?"
What she thought was different from others. They were both daughters-in-law, but Wang Jianguo had brought her home with a betrothal gift of 30 yuan.
Thirty yuan was a lot of money in the countryside, and money was very important at that time.
He Shuyun nodded. She had no intention of hiding this; after all, they were all family.
Although she felt somewhat unhappy to speak of it in front of so many people, she still had to say what she needed to say.
"The other party wants a bicycle, a watch, and a clock."
This is what she talked about with the child, and the parents haven't said anything else.
When Zhang Xiaoyun heard about these things, he couldn't help but take a breath, "This must be three hundred yuan, right?"
Wow, I've heard before that city people spend a lot of money to marry a wife, but now it's happening in my own family. It's a bit too shocking.
Of course, when He Mingcheng married Chen Yi, he also spent a lot of money, and all these things were available.
But their conditions are different. They have a father in the city.
Wang Jinxi looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and felt helpless. It was normal for her to feel unbalanced, but he didn't know if all these things could be prepared at home.
Wang Jianguo, who was standing by, pulled her back, meaning that she shouldn't say any more.
But Zhang Xiaoyun couldn't keep silent. She had worked so hard over the years, but her family didn't save much money. Instead, her parents-in-law and brother-in-law moved to the city to enjoy a good life.
Who wouldn't say something about this? She hasn't even opened her mouth yet!
"What are you doing? Why are you pulling me for something?" She looked at her husband with dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Chen Yi didn't know whether she should persuade him or not. She looked at He Mingcheng, but the man didn't say anything and was still drinking tea.
Then she stopped talking and just watched.
"Can you talk less?" Wang Jianguo said, and glanced at Chen Yi and his wife, meaning that this is not their home.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyun said, "We are all family, what's wrong with what we say?"
She was so carefree that Wang Jianguo felt a little petty if he continued talking, so he stopped talking.
After all, he didn't want his wife to suffer any injustice, but he only had so much ability, so how could he buy expensive things?
Not to mention the three big items, he couldn't even afford one.
Seeing them like this, He Shuyun said, "In the past, our family conditions were not good, and we all went through this. Jianjun is not here today, so I'll tell you what's in my heart."
"Xiaoyun, you feel uncomfortable. Mom understands. Mom is also a woman and a daughter-in-law."
"I discussed this with your dad last night. After Jianjun gets married, we will save some money and buy you the three big pieces."
After saying this, she felt a lot better. In the eyes of such a conservative person like her, wasn't it just for the children that one lived to such an old age?
She cannot treat the two children equally, but she cannot treat them too differently either.
Zhang Xiaoyun felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what her mother-in-law said. It seemed like it hadn't even started yet, but they announced it was over.
"But I want to say something." He Shuyun said again: "From now on, we won't have ten yuan a month anymore. We have to save money. Otherwise, the three big items won't fall from the sky."
No more ten dollars a month?
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun became anxious, "That won't do."
Ten dollars a month, now the couple has saved two hundred dollars. That’s two hundred dollars, not two dollars.
How will they live in the future without this money?
"No?" He Shuyun was unhappy and said, "I gave you the money and the three big items. What do you think we are? Are you going to steal our money?"
You want this and that, how can there be such good things in the world?
After hearing this, Chen Yi also felt that her sister-in-law was too greedy. Wasn't this going to kill the old couple?
Parents don’t owe their children anything. What they give is their love. If they can’t give, they can’t skin them and draw their blood, right?
"Either it's ten yuan a month, enough for us to stop working, or it's the three big items. It's your choice." This time Wang Jinxi spoke and said it directly.
Do I need to choose this kind of multiple-choice question?
Zhang Xiaoyun had a constipated expression, and it was obvious that she wanted everything. It wasn't that she was too greedy, but she was watching her child grow up day by day, and she really couldn't not consider the future.
But what they said is right, it is impossible to have everything.
After thinking about it, she said reluctantly: "I want ten dollars a month."
One year is one hundred and twenty, three years is three hundred and sixty.
Given He Shuyun's current situation, there will be no problem for her to continue working for three years.
So it’s better to take the money, in case you work for another five years, it won’t be more.
Hearing her choice, He Shuyun nodded, "Okay, then it's settled. Don't mention this matter again."
She also gave choices. Although the two children did not receive exactly the same treatment, the difference was not too big either.
Zhang Xiaoyun felt a little regretful, but compared to the three big items, having the money in hand was the best thing now.
In ten years or so, my youngest son will get married, and the family needs to save money to build a house.
The words were spoken, and the tense atmosphere in the air eased a lot.
At night, Wang Jianguo and his wife lived in a small room in the yard next door. The room had everything, but no one had ever lived there.
"This city is great. We should move to the city as well." Zhang Xiaoyun lay on the kang and felt that this was what life was all about.
Hearing her words, Wang Jianguo frowned, "We don't have a job, what are we doing here? Are we going to starve?"
I have a house and I can work. Although I don't make a lot of money, I don't have to worry about food and drink.
Zhang Xiaoyun curled his lips and said, "Jianjun has a job, but no one is looking for a job for you."
She said this quietly, not stupid enough to shout it out loud.
"Can you please stop saying these things while watching over the child?" Wang Jianguo glanced at the six-year-old Hu Zi. The child had grown up and understood everything.
He has thought about working, but he only has an elementary school education and no skills, so what is he doing here?
It's not enough to make others laugh at you, just stay in the team honestly.
Zhang Xiaoyun just couldn't stand his disappointing look. The crying child gets candy. This man didn't cry and didn't pretend to be aggrieved.
It makes me angry just looking at it.
"Go to sleep!" She turned around and hugged the child, not mentioning these things anymore.
