The Wu family was already poor, and they had borrowed a lot of debts from their last wedding with Wu Jiadong. They originally wanted to wait for Cheng Maixiang to get married and use her dowry to pay off the debts, but they didn't expect that Wu Jiadong would do that on their wedding night. The Cheng family turned against them, and the dowry was naturally lost.
Although the fifty yuan betrothal gift that the Wu family gave to Cheng Maixiang was returned, there was still a foreign debt of one hundred yuan. Fang Chunlan couldn't sleep these days because of the debt.
This is great. If her daughter's marriage can be successful, she can use the 300 yuan betrothal gift to pay off the debt and have 200 yuan left. She can use this money to help her son get some money. Even if he can't go to the county town, at least he can be transferred back to the town and no longer have to stay in that corner of Shuangshui Village and be looked down upon.
Fang Chunlan was busy in the main room, and Wu Jiadong was sleeping on the kang in his room as usual. Although Wu Jiahong did not go out, she did not do any housework. Fang Chunlan got up early and worked in the fields and cooked breakfast and lunch without asking her for help.
Wu Jiahong naturally knew why.
Sitting on the kang in the room, Wu Jiahong opened his luggage and took out a silver-red Lenin suit from it.
This was given to her by Yang Guoqing's mother. She said that she wore it when she was young, and now that she is old, she gave it to her.
She kept it with her and didn't want to wear it, not even the last time she went to the county town.
She laid the clothes flat on the kang and stroked them gently, as if she could see her future happy life through the clothes.
Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu have already informed her that Yang Guoqing will come to her house this afternoon and pretend to have a blind date with her, so she should be prepared.
With such a mother, she might be destined to never have a proper blind date like other girls, nor to marry out of her parents' home openly. She can only ask others to deceive her mother like a thief, and be taken away like a being bought and sold.
A faint mist appeared in Wu Jiahong's eyes. After thinking about it, she resolutely took off her old clothes and put on the Lenin suit.
Even if she couldn't get married openly like other girls, tonight was her blind date with Yang Guoqing anyway. She could lose these opportunities, but she couldn't let Yang Guoqing lose them with her. She wanted to have a blind date with Yang Guoqing in a dignified manner.
In this way, even when they are old in the future and recall what happened today, they will not regret it.
