When I think about going to school, people will point fingers and say, "Do you know that Teacher Hang's daughter had an affair with someone and got pregnant? It's really embarrassing."
A teacher's daughter had an unfortunate family background and got pregnant before marriage with another gangster. People in the county loved to hear this kind of scandal.
How could Dad Hang not collapse?
But even if I swallow my anger and follow the Xiang family's wishes to get married directly, Hang's father will not agree.
The marriage between the two families is like the east wind overwhelming the west wind. One side must always be in a dominant position. He will never let the Xiang family ride on his head.
If a tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?
It is obvious that his wife Chu Meifang has turned against the young couple and is now playing the role of the bad guy. If Dad Hang continues to be submissive, he will probably be bullied by his in-laws.
Now that Xiang Liwei's feelings are strong, he is willing to go through the ups and downs with his daughter. But when their feelings fade in the future, I'm afraid he will accuse the two of them of getting pregnant before marriage and say that Hang Jinxiu is shameless and seduced.
They are all men, how could he not understand the bad nature of men?
Hang's father had a lot of grievances in his heart, as he only had two daughters. He had hoped that his eldest daughter, Hang Zhenzhen, who had a strong personality, would take up the responsibility of supporting the family and marry into his family.
Who knew that he would be so bewitched by the disappeared Lin Wu that his toughness turned into softness.
Seeing that the child had no hope, Hang's father quickly trained his youngest daughter Hang Jinxiu to make up for it, hoping that the cute and gentle Hang Jinxiu could accept the heavy responsibility.
Isn't this bullshit?!
You can tell what will happen to the younger daughter by looking at the scene before your eyes. She is even more rebellious than the eldest daughter!
Dad Hang thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out who his two daughters took after.
She must have inherited her mother Chu Meifang's love for him, love at first sight, wholehearted love, wholehearted devotion, forever and ever...
Putting aside the conceit in Dad Hang's heart and the genetic problem, he acted like a strict father, as if he was possessed by a drama queen, and looked like he was going to beat his daughter to death.
If he does something extreme first, the Xiang family won’t be able to do anything to him.
As expected, Xiang Tiezhu's family and the matchmaker were dumbfounded. They could only try to mediate and dared not bring up the child in Hang Jinxiu's belly.
After all, Dad Hang could even kick his own daughter out of the house. Seeing that Dad Hang was about to break off all ties with his daughter, would he still care about his grandson who was only two months pregnant?
In this chaotic situation, it was the matchmaker who tried his best to mediate and said a lot of nice things before Hang's father was reluctantly willing to sit down at the negotiation table.
He turned his head away with a look of disdain on his face, forcing the Xiang family to agree to several conditions.
"One, buy a house or get a share of it from me within a month. Two, the betrothal gift must be at least one cent. If other families pay 300, you should pay 300. Three, at least one of your children must have the surname Hang!"
After hearing what Hang's father said, the matchmaker's brain was working at high speed and his CPU was about to burn out. The last two conditions were not so bad, they were all normal conditions and could not be said to be particularly harsh.
But asking Xiang Liwei to give him a house within a month is simply a fantasy and can be ignored.
The houses in the teachers' family quarters are basically divided. If you want to buy one, you have to pay a higher price. You may end up spending at least 1,500 yuan. This expense is staggering.
Adding the expenses for the wedding banquet and the bride-picking ceremony, it would be nearly two thousand.
Since she was the matchmaker hired by the Xiang family, she naturally knew how capable Xiang Liwei, a country boy, was. Just as she was about to discuss it, she heard Xiang Tiezhu say firmly:
"Okay, I'll listen to my in-laws. Jinxiu is an excellent child. When will we discuss the details of our marriage?"
She looked sideways, wondering how could she have guessed that this dark-faced farmer could actually take out two thousand dollars at once?
You have to know that people in the county town may not have so much liquid funds. Where did the father and son who worked in the fields get so much money?
Hang's father also looked at him sideways. He thought he was already very mean, so why did this person agree so readily?
Hang's father thought for a moment and looked at Tiezhu's family suspiciously. "Don't try to trick me! Don't discuss anything before I review the property deeds. Where does your family get the money?"
He did not despise Xiang Liwei, but had the same requirement for every son-in-law.
If the future son-in-law lives in the family compound, is a good person and has a job, then a dowry of 300 yuan will be enough to marry Jinxiu, which is not excessive.
But Xiang Liwei's family is from the countryside. Is it so easy for him to come up with 1,500 yuan to buy a house?
In the days when grain cost only a few cents per pound, farmers would sell everything they had to buy a house in the county town for Xiang Liwei, so it was normal for Hang's father to be suspicious.
In the 1970s, when there was no hybrid rice, one acre of land generally produced 400 kilograms of grain, and 500 kilograms was considered a super harvest.
Without any machinery, a strong laborer could cultivate about 5-10 acres of land.
Assuming that his family is large and that five strong laborers cultivate 50 mu of land, in a good year they can produce 25,000 kilograms of grain, which can bring in an income of 2,500 yuan.
It sounds like you can get married if you work hard for a year?
Think too much!
