The others also nodded. When people in the countryside get married, many of them are reluctant to buy even a pound of meat, and they can't buy it because they don't have tickets!
They also heard that some educated youth married country people and had just one meal with not much meat, just vegetables and an egg!
So they really didn't understand why Su Lao San wanted to marry his daughter to a country bumpkin.
The old lady who was moving the TV started fighting again: "Oh, just winter melon and potatoes? They don't eat winter melon and potatoes, but you have rice and flour to eat? How shameless! You eat the food grown by other farmers, and you still want them. What's the old saying? When you pick up the bowl, you call your mother, and when you put it down, you curse your mother!"
"You..." Mrs. Su was so angry that she almost jumped up. "Why are you scolding me? What did I say wrong? Can't they just work hard and take the exam to come to the city?"
“…”
What kind of bullshit is that? Everyone has the chance to get into the city, so why would you say that? Besides, who would farm in the city?
Another old woman from a peasant family chimed in, "Everyone else gets into the city, and you're just going to starve to death! You're so easy to talk when you're not doing it. Where are you from? How shameless of you to say such nonsense!"
"Hey, stop arguing. Let's talk about the son-in-law of the Su family. When he proposed marriage a few days ago, he had everything ready. He's not necessarily poor!"
"Yeah, yeah, and I even replaced the radio with a TV!"
"Speaking of the TV, I moved it. It's a really rare thing. It's small and square. Could there be gold inside?"
The old ladies were chattering about the TV. The others, relatives who had never seen one before, couldn't believe it.
What the hell, a TV? Aren’t these old ladies saying that the Su family’s son-in-law betrothed a TV?
How is this possible? Let alone a betrothal gift, most people can’t even afford to buy a TV, so how can they possibly betroth a TV to someone else?
Mrs. Su thought this was nonsense: "What TV are you talking about? Who offered a TV as a betrothal gift? I'm afraid you're kidding me!"
It's good enough to be able to buy a radio, but you still want to buy a TV? TVs are not only expensive, but also scarce and hard to buy!
The old lady who had moved the TV was particularly dissatisfied with Su Dasao: "It's the son-in-law of the third Su family! The young man prepared everything, replaced the radio with a TV, and proposed to Su Ying a few days ago, and even had someone drive a car here. We all helped move into the Su family, so how could it be fake? The TV is probably locked in their room!"
Mrs. Su still didn't believe it: "Who are you trying to fool? You're just trying to fool me because you can't stand me calling people from the countryside, right? You used to be from the countryside, didn't you? It's not that serious. I just told you a few truths. Why would you lie to me like this?"
The old lady was so angry that her hair stood on end. "Bullshit! Why would I lie to you? Just wait! I'll call Su Laosan's wife and ask her to bring the TV out for a walk!"
With that, the old lady went to look for Su's mother.
The other old ladies were also unconvinced and started to shout and join in. Others also wanted to know if it was true, so they all got up and went to look for someone.
Mrs. Su chuckled and said, "Just go if you want to. She wants to see what kind of TV it is. Maybe it's just a piece of wood!"
The group of people ran to find Su's mother.
Su's mother was very busy over there, sometimes checking on her daughter and sometimes greeting guests.
