Chapter 5: Fuck His Family
After walking around the market, Liu Guizhi didn't buy any tables or stools because she felt it was a waste of money.
"Your father is a trained carpenter. Let him do it for you when you get home. We can buy some varnish and then just apply oil after it's done."
Liang Xiulan pouted and was skeptical about Liang Jianguo making tables and stools for her. After all, he was so against her doing that.
"Will he do it?"
Liu Guizhi: "Remove the word 'ma'!"
"He has to do it! Don't worry, Mom is here!"
The two of them wandered around the market again, bought a lot of seasonings, and went to the entrance of the printing factory at five o'clock.
At this time, Zhou Caiju was walking out from inside with a smile.
"Oh...what did you buy again?"
"Some seasonings." Liang Xiulan said.
Liu Guizhi took her hand and led her behind a pillar before asking her, "How's the matter going?"
Zhou Caiju smiled smugly.
"If I take action, is there anything I can't accomplish?"
"There's a female worker in our workshop who applied for a staff dormitory, but she didn't live there. She just rested here at noon."
"I went to negotiate with the businesswoman and offered to pay the rent. She agreed immediately. The room has running water, electricity, and a toilet. It's so convenient!"
Such a nice place, Liu Guizhi was delighted: "That's great, how much is the rent?"
"Not much, just five dollars a month! I asked the locals here, and they said the rent nearby is easily ten dollars a month!"
In fact, Liang Xiulan and the others had just asked about the rental prices nearby, and they were basically between eight and fifteen yuan. Five yuan was indeed very cheap.
Moreover, it is near the factory, and has water, electricity, toilets, and staff dormitories. Needless to say, the hygiene is excellent. It is simply the best arrangement.
The two agreed immediately.
"Cai Ju, you've done a great job. Tell me what you want to eat in advance, and I'll buy it for you when I make money!"
The two sisters-in-law always like to joke around.
Zhou Caiju said bluntly, "Then I'll have to bleed you thoroughly. I'll have to eat a big pork elbow! No! I'll have to eat two!"
After hearing this, the three of them laughed again.
Zhou Caiju originally wanted to keep the two of them for dinner, but Liu Guizhi declined, saying it was too late and they should go home after dinner, which would be midnight.
Zhou Caiju didn't stay long. The two chatted for a while and then went home.
On the way back, Liu Guizhi complained to Liang Xiulan.
"What female workers' dormitory? I think it's her dormitory!"
"But luckily she still has some conscience. She only charged me five dollars, which is not expensive and convenient. If we rented someone else's place, it would definitely be expensive and not as good as this. In the end, we still made a profit."
It’s a favor for others to help you, but whoever makes the money doesn’t make the money, right?
Liang Xiulan didn't care about these things. She was always thinking about how many tables and stools to make.
There is a cafeteria in the printing factory, which provides a lunch at noon. If she sells noodles at the factory gate, she definitely cannot have lunch at noon, only in the afternoon.
There is a school not far from the printing factory. Wouldn’t it be better if we sold French fries there?
As she was thinking, she walked to the entrance of the village. The familiar figure was looking at her eagerly.
"Xiu Lan!"
Jiang Jinzhou ran over quickly and called out to Liu Guizhi when he got close.
"Hello, Auntie..."
Liu Guizhi hummed and turned her head to look at Liang Xiulan.
"What do you two have to say? Speak clearly at once. I'm going back to cook first."
My daughter has grown up, and she should make her own decisions about her own life.
Liang Xiulan nodded: "Oh!"
After Liu Guizhi left, Jiang Jinzhou grabbed Liang Xiulan's hand.
"Xiu Lan, what's wrong with you? We were talking just fine before. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Is it just about the betrothal gift? You haven't always been such a snobbish person. Did someone tell you something?"
Liang Xiulan was very unhappy that he actually called her snobbish, and immediately pulled her hand away.
"You may not know me very well, but I'm a snob. Your family has a tractor, and everyone says you're rich. So I married you just for your money."
"As a result, you even think that the betrothal gift of more than 200 yuan is too expensive. It seems that in your eyes, I am not worth this 200 yuan."
Jiang Jinzhou was stunned again. He didn't expect her to speak so directly. She had never been like this before.
A dumb mouth can't say anything useful for a long time.
"You...I...I didn't think so!"
"What's worth it? You're in my heart. How can you measure it with money?"
"It's not that I think it's too expensive, but my family really can't afford that much money!"
"You've heard my mom say before that we've only just paid off the money we paid for the tractor. Our family isn't as rich as others say! Don't listen to what they say!"
Liang Xiulan couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh? Really? So you really don't have any money? Then I don't want to get married even more!"
This... I don't want to get married no matter what!
Jiang Jinzhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, spinning around in circles.
"We've been dating for over a year, we like each other, we've held hands, hugged each other, and kissed each other. We're about to get married, but you suddenly don't want to get married anymore. Is it just because of money?"
"Yes! It's because of money!"
"Then I'll give you 288 betrothal gifts, isn't that enough?"
"No! I know what you're planning. Are you planning to borrow money to make up for the betrothal gift? And then we'll pay it back together after we get married, right? I'm telling you, forget it!"
Liang Xiulan exposed Jiang Jinzhou's little plan in one sentence.
Jiang Jinzhou was stunned and couldn't help but take a step back.
How did she guess?
There is no need to guess because she has experienced it.
No matter how much dowry Liang Xiulan asks for, Jiang Jinzhou's mother will not pay the lion's share. At the last moment, she will force Jiang Jinzhou to find a way to save face on his own.
Liang Xiulan was very familiar with this method.
In her previous life, Liang Xiulan and her family did take a step back and lowered the bride price.
But on the wedding night, Jiang Jinzhou took the red envelopes she received and took her to pay off the debts from house to house.
Liang Xiulan was completely stunned at that time.
I watched helplessly as the gifts I received from fellow villagers and friends went into my mother-in-law's pocket.
She asked why she didn't use the money to pay off debts, but her mother-in-law said that she also wanted to use the money to pay off debts and return gifts.
It is said that marrying her cost a lot of money and he borrowed money from everywhere.
Moreover, her sister-in-law was there as a witness, saying that after getting married, the gift money should be handed over to the elders.
On the third day, a small gold lock was found on Jiang Jinzhou's nephew's neck! His nephew said it was newly bought.
On the seventh day, I bought a new bicycle.
If you ask, it was bought by my sister-in-law's family.
Oh, her four sisters-in-law are all as domineering as a demon. Which brother dares to spend money on her?
Only a fool like Jiang Jinzhou believed it, and even advised Liang Xiulan to be magnanimous and trust his family.
Fuck his family!
