Chapter 387 The Lion Speaks 3

The sisters were all famous beauties. Wang Zhengjun had high standards. He was good-looking, sweet-spoken, well-educated, and elegant. Some young ladies from landlord families favored him, and some girls from the city liked him. However, he thought he was very upright and did not need to marry into the family. If the woman was rich and he was poor, wouldn't it be seen by outsiders as marrying into the family of a rich man? Moreover, he looked down on those girls because they were too ordinary and not as pretty as his sisters, so he rejected them righteously.

Not to mention, after his rejection of these young ladies became known, on the surface, he was really evaluated as a man of integrity. His tail almost reached the sky, and he became even more proud.

Liu Jinhua has fair skin, big eyes and a slim figure. Somehow she and Wang Zhengjun fell in love with each other.

Liu Jinhua was very smart and scheming, so Wang Zhengguo did not include her in the list of candidates for his brother's wife. However, she grasped Wang Zhengjun's psychology, and she had no sisters or brothers in her family. As a result, Wang Zhengjun was determined to marry her.

When Wang Zhengjun and Liu Jinhua got married, Liu Jinhua brought almost all of her family's assets with her.

It is said that she promised her parents that after marrying Wang Zhengguo, she would take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

The two villages are close to each other, and the Wang family has many brothers, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more Wang Zhengjun or one less.

The Liu family had only one daughter, and they were afraid that no one would take care of them in their old age, so they believed her and gave their family's five acres of land and all their savings to Liu Jinhua as a dowry. But they didn't know that just as Liu Jinhua got married, Old Lady Liu became pregnant and gave birth to a big fat boy at the age of 40, which caused a sensation.

There is a difference between having a son and not having a son. Old man Liu wants to get his five acres of thin land back.

He has a son now, and he has to plan for his future.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jinhua turned against her and said that the dowry given away was like water poured out after a daughter was married off, and there was no reason to take it back. This made Old Man Liu so angry that he fell seriously ill and almost died.

They had their reasons for being wrong. They lost their land. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Liu family was classified as lower peasants, which had the best class status. Liu Jinhua's dowry land was nationalized. If it were not just five acres of thin land and their class status was determined by their father, the couple might have been classified as poor and lower-middle peasants. Middle peasants were those who owned a small amount of land, provided that they worked themselves and had not exploited others.

Not long after, the city's coal mine was recruiting workers. Wang Zhengguo, who was the village chief at the time, was given several quotas, which were distributed to the strong laborers in the village. However, only one person, Wang Zhengjun, was finally selected. The reason was very simple: he was literate, had a sweet mouth, and was good-looking, so he was chosen right away.

Wang Zhengjun has a city hukou, but Liu Jinhua does not. She and her child still have rural hukou.

Wang Zhengjun ate commercial grain, while Liu Jinhua had to work on the farm to earn work points in order to get food rations. In this regard, Wang Zhengguo was not at all partial. If you didn't work and didn't get work points, you wouldn't get any food. The relationship between the two brothers was really not good during those years.

Later, Wang Zhengjun found a way to bring Liu Jinhua and the child to live in the city. In the first one or two years, Liu Jinhua had to come back to work and earn work points to bring back some food. After a year or two, she stopped coming back, supposedly because her household registration was settled and she was able to eat commercial grain. Anyway, except for Wang Jiao's wedding, Wang Zhengjun came back once, and he hadn't seen them in the past five or six years.

Now Wang Zhengjun appeared again and asked for several hundred kilograms of food. To be honest, Wang Zhengguo was very surprised.
