Everyone has a calculation in mind. If marrying a wife costs 300 yuan, and one more person has to live in the house, that’s half the price of the house!
No one is a fool, and everyone runs faster than a donkey.
This incident also caused many resentful couples. Although there are still many blind marriages now, more women have awakened and everyone advocates freedom of marriage.
For a while, several nearby villages were in chaos!
Li Qing's father also came to find Li Qing. Li Qing's hometown is Lijia Village, which is also within the scope of this demolition.
When Li Qing returned home, her father was leisurely drinking tea. When he saw her come back, his old face was full of smiles.
"Qingqing is back?"
Li Qing placed her army green satchel on the table and nodded with a smile, "Dad, you asked someone to bring me a message today. What is it for?"
Li Qing usually lives in the company dormitory. Lu Zhiye never treats his subordinates badly, and all the dormitories are double rooms.
The space is large and spacious, and it has upper and lower bunk beds. The upper bunk can be used to store things, and the lower bunk is for sleeping. Each person also has a separate small cabinet.
This situation is better than many girls living in their own homes!
Even Li Qing felt the same way. Ordinary people would have been talking about marriage by her age, but Li Qing had high standards and had not yet gotten married.
For this reason, several brothers and sisters-in-law are very dissatisfied. Now Li Qing's eldest brother's family and second brother's family live in Li Qing's house.
The eldest brother and his wife share one room, and the two boys share one room.
My second brother had just been married for a year, and the house was originally big enough for him to live in, and Li Qing also had her own room. However, with my second sister-in-law becoming pregnant, the room was about to become crowded.
The second sister-in-law felt unbalanced when she saw that everyone had two rooms while she only had one.
So they openly and secretly squeezed Li Qing, thinking that the house was so crowded because she did not get married and occupied the family house.
He kept criticizing Li Qing, both openly and covertly, which made Li Qing very annoyed, so she resolutely moved to the company dormitory.
When Li's second sister-in-law saw Li Qing coming back, her smile froze on her face.
Li Qing walked to her room, opened the door and saw that the original bed was replaced with a navy blue quilt that did not belong to her.
A few tables were added nearby, making the already small room seem even more crowded.
Li's second sister-in-law said with a forced smile, "Oh, Qingqing, I didn't know you were coming back.
I was thinking of you living in the company dormitory, it would be a pity to leave this room empty.
In addition, I am now in the late stage of pregnancy and I always have trouble sleeping at night. The slightest movement will make me very agitated!
So I don't want your brother to sleep next to me, so I'm borrowing your room for now."
Li Qing watched the scene coldly, her eyes falling on her brother. Seeing him lower his head guiltily, a slight sneer emerged in her heart.
Even the mother who was busy in the kitchen didn't dare to come out and talk to her.
It seems that this has been accepted by everyone!
The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family said with a smile while picking vegetables, "Second brother, this is your fault. This is where Qingqing was born. How can you live here just like that?"
The second sister-in-law of the Li family was so angry that she rolled her eyes to the sky. "Your family already has two houses, and you are making fun of me here!"
Just as she was about to retort, she heard Father Li cough heavily, and Li's second sister-in-law quickly shut her mouth.
Father Li said to Li Qing, "Qingqing, come with me!"
After the two of them arrived at the study, Father Li pulled out a stool, motioned for Li Qing to sit down, and said straight to the point, "Have you heard about the recent demolition of our hometown?"
"I heard that this project is from our construction company. Dad, you should know more about it than me, right?"
Li Qing looked at her father who asked the question even though he knew the answer, and she just thought it was ridiculous!
Father Li touched his nose awkwardly, then said in a deep voice: "Our household registration and food supply are not in our hometown, so we have no share in this demolition.
The house in my hometown has already been given to your second uncle's family. Now there are some rumors that the official documents have not been approved yet. You can add people to your household registration book, and when the time comes, the house will be demolished and divided according to the number of people.
Do you know about this matter?"
Li Qing works in the sales department and doesn't really know much about the demolition office.
She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, just say whatever you want to say!"
Hearing her say this, Father Li didn't beat around the bush: "The son of the village party secretary in my hometown wants to meet you!
He works in the commune and is a motivated person.
I was thinking about letting you two meet each other?
Li Qing's face darkened instantly: "Dad, do you know what you are saying?
I told you before, it’s my own marriage, and I have my own say!
What are you trying to do with this now?"
Father Li looked anxious: "What else could I be doing this for? Isn't it all for your own good?
Look at how old you are, and you still don't want to get married!
The young man came to deliver something on behalf of his family some time ago. I took a closer look and he looked quite good.
If you keep picking and choosing, you'll become an old lady. What do you really want?"
Speaking of this, Father Li was also a little worried. A cadre in the same batch as him also had a little girl who was the same age as his own daughter.
She's already married and has two kids.
Every time I return to the office, there are always those gossipy people asking if Li Qing is married.
This made Mr. Li, who always cared about his reputation, feel very embarrassed.
Li Qing’s marriage has also become a major concern for him!
The most important thing is that Li Qing’s whole family is in chaos.
The eldest and second sons' families were short-sighted, and in the end everyone felt uncomfortable.
Li Qing took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them and said firmly, "Dad, I will decide my own marriage."
"Hey, girl, why can't you explain it clearly?
If you marry him, you can get a small share of the house. How expensive are houses nowadays?
That's a house with an elevator, not one of our apartment buildings.
It would cost tens of thousands to buy it. Even if you don’t eat or drink, it would take you decades to save up this money!
There's a shortcut, why are you so stubborn? "
Li Qing couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her always open-minded father.
A figure flashed through her mind, and she lowered her head and remained silent. Just when Father Li thought she was about to give in, he heard his daughter say, "I have someone I like, and I want to be with him."
Father Li anxiously took a sip of herbal tea and said, "If you like him, why don't you bring him home and let us take a look at him?
As parents, we must at least keep an eye on your marriage.
You can take him home to see me. I don't ask for much else, just food and shelter."
Li Qing bit her lips tightly with her snow-white teeth. Father Li's words also touched the pain in her heart.
