Su Jiaojiao was somewhat unwilling; that was all her money, and she had just given it away for nothing.
These two boys were born to Su Jianguo. What does she have to do with them? Why should she take her dowry money to pay for their tuition?
Moreover, she didn't believe for a second that Su Jianguo would prepare a dowry for her that was exactly the same as Su Nianxue's.
The Su family is now just an empty shell; they have neither money nor materials.
What will he use to buy her these things?
Is it all just talk?
Only her mother is naive enough to believe his nonsense.
If he really had a better idea, he wouldn't have forced her to hand over her dowry money.
Just as she was about to speak, Wang Lanhua pinched her hard.
That brat, how can she be so clueless?
She had to speak well of both sides to get to this point.
If this continues, Su Jianguo will definitely force her to hand over all her dowry money.
Su Jiaojiao saw the warning in her mother's eyes and swallowed the words she was about to say!
Well, she'll have to stay in this house for a while longer!
Su Jianguo is someone you can't afford to offend.
Wang Lanhua, fearing that she might say something that would offend Su Jianguo again, quickly said...
"Jiaojiao, go get the money! Go get 150 and give it to your dad."
Su Jiaojiao went to the room reluctantly.
Wang Lanhua said to Su Jianguo with a forced smile, "His father, Zhiguo, is from the town."
He is capable and has a wide network of connections.
Who knows, our two kids might still need their brother-in-law's help in the future, don't you think?
Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo's expression softened completely.
He was concerned about this, which is why he hadn't forced Su Jiaojiao to hand over the betrothal money before.
Otherwise, how could an unmarried girl hold onto the bride price money?
To be honest, I got angry with them at noon today.
Su Jiaojiao reluctantly took out 150 yuan.
Su Jianguo took the money, coughed lightly, and said, "Jiaojiao, don't worry."
You call me Dad too. In my heart, you and Nianxue are the same.
When you get married, I will do my best to prepare a good dowry for you.
He didn't make any definitive statements.
He also knew that with his current abilities, it would be difficult to prepare a dowry exactly like Su Nianxue's.
Su Jiaojiao naturally understood his implied meaning. She was furious inside, but she still forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Wang Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was settled for today.
Su Jianguo should stop pressuring her to go back to her parents' home for money these days.
She glanced at the two little ones, never expecting that such tiny children would spread gossip.
It was because of his words that he got beaten up and lost Su Jiaojiao's dowry money.
It seems she'll have to be more careful with her words in the future.
Let's talk about Su Nianxue.
She had no idea what had happened to the Su family.
After eating, she had a nice nap. When she woke up, she and Gu Yanliu went to the fields.
From afar, you could see a figure in the field, wearing a straw hat, bending over and weeding!
"Big brother, you're so diligent," Su Nianxue couldn't help but exclaim.
“Yes, my older brother was always the most diligent when he was at home.” Gu Yanliu ran happily towards the field.
"Brother, the sun is so bright, why didn't you say you'd come out later?"
When Gu Yansong saw that it was the two of them, he stopped what he was doing, leaned on the handle of his hoe,
"I'm not hot. I'm just killing time anyway, so I might as well come and do some work in the fields."
What he didn't say was that he used to do all the farm work at the Liu family's house by himself.
He was often the first to arrive at work in the village and the last to leave.
But when he finally finished work and got home, Liu Yuanyuan was still very upset with him.
They always find fault with him, complaining about this or that.
Later, he grew to love spending time in the fields even more.
At least he took good care of the crops, and they will repay him with food.
Unlike some people, no matter how much he does, he will only be met with a cold face.
He glanced at Su Nianxue and said, "Sister-in-law, the corn is almost ripe."
The rainfall has been good this year, and the corn is growing really well.
Su Nianxue really didn't know how to respond to that.
To be honest, the difference between their crops and those in the neighboring fields is enormous.
But Gu Yanbai is rarely home.
Grandpa Gu herds sheep every day and doesn't have much time to spare.
With only Gu Yanliu left, a young girl who does things haphazardly every day, it's already quite impressive that she's managed to cultivate the land to this extent.
"Yes, our harvest this year is sure to be good."
Looking at their expressions, Gu Yanliu laughed heartily, "Big brother, sister-in-law, please don't flatter me so much."
I'm well aware of my own limitations; with our land, after paying the grain tax, there probably won't be much left!
Actually, her brother had told her not to work so hard, since she wouldn't go hungry anyway.
But she can't stay idle, so she just keeps planting, since it's better than nothing!
Otherwise, what does she do all day?
"Yanliu, you're already very capable, more capable than the average girl in the village," Su Nianxue praised.
"It's alright. From now on, your older brother will do all the housework. You can go and do business with your sister-in-law."
Don't worry, your brother won't let you go hungry.
Gu Yansong felt guilty. As the eldest son in the family, it was his responsibility to support his younger siblings.
But he became someone's son-in-law, abandoning his elderly parents and younger siblings for many years.
