The people at the educated youth settlement had differing opinions on Ye Weiwei's impending marriage to Huo Xiao so soon.
Many of the male educated youths didn't quite understand Ye Weiwei's actions. With Ye Weiwei's excellent qualities, why would she choose to marry a country bumpkin, especially one who was lame?
Which of the men in their educated youth settlement wasn't better off than Huo Xiao?
However, upon hearing that the dowry prepared by the Huo family consisted of three turns and one ring, the few who were initially indignant gave up.
Even in the city, this dowry is considered very generous.
The situation was a bit more delicate for the female educated youth.
When Chen Jiali heard that the Huo family was preparing such a dowry, she could hardly believe it. "I never thought that people from the countryside could be so rich!"
If someone were to prepare such a dowry for her, she would choose to marry him.
Her sister got married last month, and the groom's dowry consisted of a bicycle, which was purchased by her family.
In comparison, city dwellers aren't much better off than country folk.
Li Jing curled her lip, "Is he probably emptied his whole family's pockets to get a wife?"
Trying to save face when you're not!
Besides, the reason the other party is willing to go to such lengths to marry Ye Weiwei is because they're after her money! The cost is ultimately borne by the woman herself!
Only an idiot like Ye Weiwei would be so happy to help someone count money after being tricked.
Xu Meijun, however, had a different opinion. She couldn't tell whether she was in a good or bad mood. In the end, apart from arguing with Ye Weiwei a few times and having some disagreements, there wasn't much of a conflict between them.
Moreover, she bought a small leather suitcase that she had long coveted from Ye Weiwei at half price. You should know that this was an imported item that could only be bought at the Friendship Store and required foreign exchange certificates.
Having gained such a great advantage, she didn't mind saying a few good words for Ye Weiwei.
"That Huo Xiao is a veteran, and I heard he has made many military achievements. With his allowances and retirement pay over the years, he can still afford to get married decently without having to empty his family's savings."
"How could a poor soldier have so much money?" Li Jing didn't believe it.
Her neighbor was also in the army, and he only received a few yuan in allowances a month. How many years would it take to save up enough for three turns and a radio without eating or drinking?
Xu Meijun rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not."
Li Jing has such a wicked mouth; there's nothing she can't say that's bad.
"Ye Weiwei, how much is your boyfriend's monthly allowance?" Chen Jiali asked curiously.
"I don't know," Ye Weiwei said, seemingly unconcerned.
All she knew was that the savings account Huo Xiao had given her that night contained more than three thousand yuan.
He sent all his military allowances home over the years, and the money in his savings account was his rewards and subsidies for missions.
With the ability to save so much money, Huo Xiao was definitely not the "poor soldier" Li Jing described when he was in the army.
Seeing that Ye Weiwei was avoiding the topic, Li Jing assumed it was because she was embarrassed to talk about it, and said sarcastically, "Jiali, please don't ask. Isn't this making things difficult for you?"
Ye Weiwei said lazily, "Yes, the thought of having to be with a red-eyed patient every day is really too much for me."
"You..." Li Jing gritted her teeth angrily, "So what if you married a country bumpkin? Look how smug you are!"
Ye Weiwei smiled coldly, "The country bumpkin you're talking about once defended his country, repeatedly made military achievements, and was honorably discharged after being injured while rescuing national property. Who gave you the courage to slander and look down on heroes like this?"
Li Jing's face turned deathly pale instantly. "I didn't! Yes, I'm sorry, I just said it offhand!"
This slander against military heroes is enough to kill her; she dares not take the blame.
Ye Weiwei sneered, "Watch your mouth. If I hear you spewing filth and vulgarities again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"No, I won't!" Li Jing immediately became as docile as a quail.
Ye Weiwei didn't even bother to roll her eyes at Li Jing; this woman was always so annoying and cowardly!
Seeing that Ye Weiwei had made Li Jing, that big mouth, lose her temper and obediently apologize with just a few words, a strange light flashed in Xu Meijun's eyes.
Ye Weiwei has really changed since that day she fell into the water.
The group fell silent, and the conversation ended there, leaving the room quiet for a moment.
After a long day at work, everyone was exhausted, and soon some people fell asleep, while others started snoring softly.
Ye Wanwan didn't return to her dormitory until late at night.
Seeing that everyone else in the room was asleep, she tiptoed to Ye Weiwei's bunk and stared at Ye Weiwei.
These past few days, she had been keeping an eye on that safety amulet, hoping to get her hands on it without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, she had secretly searched Ye Weiwei's suitcase while she was away and also checked Ye Weiwei's body while she was asleep, but she couldn't find it.
I have no idea where that little bitch hid that thing!
Ye Weiwei had already noticed when Ye Wanwan entered the educated youth settlement.
However, she continued to pretend to be asleep.
These days, Ye Wanwan leaves early and returns late every day. The people at the educated youth settlement thought that she didn't want to meet Ye Weiwei because she had broken up with her, so they didn't care much.
Only Ye Weiwei knew that Ye Wanwan was definitely up to no good again.
He rummaged through her suitcase and kept staring at her; was he looking for that lucky charm?
Unfortunately, she had already obtained the golden finger from the safety buckle, and the safety buckle was now just a piece of jade of slightly better quality.
Even if she got that safety pendant, it wouldn't change anything.
Ye Weiwei's expression turned slightly cold as she smelled a mixture of herbs on Ye Wanwan's body.
The educated youth had a day off every ten days. On this day, the people in the educated youth settlement would usually go to the town or county to stroll around, buy some daily necessities, or go to the state-run restaurant to have a good meal.
