Jiang Li nodded, "Of course it's true, you saw it too."
"Nowadays, every family has several children. The older generation believes that more children means more blessings, but the country's current grain supply can only meet everyone's basic needs."
"If you want to improve the quality of life, you have to reduce the population."
"Eugenics and good parenting."
Su Manman looked at her daughter and said, "If you say so, then won't we be able to have more children in the future?"
"What if you get pregnant? Can you abort it?"
Jiang Li explained: "It depends on the situation. Towns are definitely the strictest, and the countryside is a little better."
"If you want to work and not be fined, you can't have more children than allowed."
"There are countermeasures for every policy, and the countryside will always be more relaxed."
“Those who have jobs are the first ones to be strictly punished.”
"If you don't want to lose your job, you can only follow the policy, so..."
"Alas, the good times have just begun, and the higher-ups are about to start making trouble again."
"After this, the pressure of providing for the elderly will be enormous."
"Since Li Li has said so, you should all have an idea in mind."
Seeing that the old lady had spoken, the grandchildren nodded seriously to show that they understood.
In the next few days, Jiang Li and his brothers wandered around in the woods.
After the Chinese New Year, all the meat and vegetables in the house were eaten up.
Before they leave, try to stock up some more for your home.
Jiang Jingze and his wife left after only a few days.
When family members go back to work one after another, the New Year is considered to be over.
That day, Jiang Li woke up early and saw a few strangers at home.
With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "Grandma, who are they?"
"Oh, this is Li Li, right? You are really a grown-up girl now. You should think carefully about what I say, Auntie."
“That family is really well off.”
The old lady's face darkened. "My granddaughter has a fiancé and will be getting married soon. You don't have to say anything more."
"It's New Year's Day, how unlucky."
"Li Li, send them away."
When Jiang Li heard that they were introducing a date to her, she said with a bad look on her face, "Please go, aunties. I won't bother you with my own lifelong affairs."
"Oh my, this is incredible. Now that you've moved to the big city, you look down on us country folk, right?"
"Let's go."
If people hadn't given her money to propose marriage, Liu Sanniang wouldn't have come.
Jiang Li snorted coldly, "Stop putting accusations on our family."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm getting married soon. If you break up someone else's marriage, you're a good person, right?"
"It's just a way of paying people to do things for you, and then giving yourself a good reputation."
"roll!"
Liu Sanniang was embarrassed and took her two sisters away.
The way Jiang Li looked at her was really too scary.
After sending them out of the door, Jiang Li returned to the main hall and said, "Grandma, there's no need to get angry with those people. They are just greedy for money."
"You don't even need to ask who I, Jiang Li, am and you're coming to my house."
"Don't think about it, they are all here for my identity."
The old lady grabbed her hand and said, "You don't have to pay attention to them. You will behave yourself when you get married."
"Those men don't even consider whether they are worthy or not, and they just come to propose marriage. They are so shameless."
Her granddaughter is so good, not everyone is worthy of her.
It’s not that she looks down on rural people. After all, everyone wants to move up, not to mention that her granddaughter has someone she loves.
She is old and just wants to see her grandchildren live well.
"Granny, next time someone like this comes, just beat him out."
"After Jing Rui was admitted to university, did anyone come to visit him?"
“Those people are cats smelling fish.”
"If there's no benefit, I won't ask for marriage."
The old lady nodded, "There were indeed some before, but they were all sent away by your third uncle."
"She said that all the money in the family was spent on her son's education and she had no money to find a wife."
"Your brother even went to town and stayed there for a few days before coming back."
"Ever since the college entrance examination was reinstated, there has been no peace in the village. What a sin!"
Jiang Li knew what her grandmother was talking about and comforted her, "Life is short, and everyone wants to live a good life. It's up to us to see what path we choose."
"You know, it's hard for those children."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow. You really don't want to go with me?"
The old lady shook her head. "No, I will stay at home and guard this piece of land. When I die one day, I will be buried with your grandfather."
"It's no trouble to anyone."
"Pah, pah, pah, grandma, you will live a hundred years, don't talk nonsense."
"Everyone is destined to die. I, your grandma, have long since let it go. You don't need to comfort me."
"Go back and do your own things, don't worry about me."
"If you have time, bring your partner back to see me."
Jiang Li nodded, "Yes."
Her grandmother loves her the most, so naturally this request must be met.
"By the way, come with grandma."
Jiang Li was curious, "What's wrong?"
The old lady walked into her bedroom and said, "Move this cabinet away."
Jiang Li was confused, but still obediently moved the cabinet away.
As the cabinet was moved away, a wooden board was revealed instantly.
The old lady opened the wooden board and said, "Go down and bring up the smallest box."
"oh."
Jiang Li didn't expect that there was a basement in her grandmother's room.
She didn't think much about it and just jumped down.
When I saw several boxes inside, I was surprised for a moment.
But she didn't hesitate to see what it was. She found the smallest box and climbed up.
The old lady took the box and said, "Move the cabinet back."
Jiang Li did as he was told.
"Come here, this is the dowry that grandma prepared for you, take a look and see if you like it?"
When Jiang Li heard that it was prepared for her, she sat next to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I have money, you can keep these."
"Be good, take a look."
"These are all grandma's dowry. In our family, besides your aunt, you are the only one who has a share."
"The remaining boxes don't have anything as valuable as these. When I leave one day, the inspections outside won't be as strict as they are now."
"Just take out all those things and share them with your other brothers."
"There are nine of you in this generation. I have divided it all up for each of you."
"Take the dowry with you now. We can't let your mother-in-law's family look down on us, understand?"
Jiang Li's mouth twitched, "Then my father and his family don't have a share?"
The old lady smiled and said, "I have already given them my share."
"I have no control over the great-grandchildren. Just divide it among the nine of you brothers and sisters."
Seeing that grandma had already made arrangements, Jiang Li had no choice but to nod, "Okay then, I'll listen to you and make arrangements."
"But you have to take care of yourself when I'm not around."
"I don't want you to leave so early."
She knew her grandmother didn't have much time left, but she just couldn't bear to let her go.
