The children of the Lin family are precocious. They thought of asking Daya to sell her blood to support them. Isn't that precocious? So now that Lin Yiyi mentioned it, Lin Dajun thought about the division of the family property after marriage. Although their family has no property, the house is still there. He is the eldest brother, so the house should be given to him. In the past, Erjun always spoke over him. He was obviously the eldest brother, but everyone always listened to his ideas, as if he was the eldest brother. This was not okay. This was the first time that Lin Dajun clearly realized that his interests and Lin Erjun's interests were not the same, and they were also individual subjects.

After thinking it through, Lin Dajun said, "Erjun, elder sister is right. I am the eldest brother, you can't blame me, you can't be so disrespectful. Although my parents are gone, I am still the eldest brother." He showed off his majesty as the eldest brother, which was not bad. Then he said to Lin Yiyi, "Eldest sister, I am not chasing you away. You can see that our family has nothing. If you stay in our family, you will have a hard time. So this is for your own good. And my aunt also said that Brother Yu is grown up and is going to get married. You can't drag Brother Yu down, right?"

Lin Yiyi thought about it carefully and said, "You are right. I can't drag Brother Xiao Yu down." Then, Lin Yiyi showed a relieved expression again, "Dajun, you have really grown up and know how to consider your sister. You are so sensible and can manage your younger brother well. Sister is very relieved. Sister has decided that after sister marries Brother Xiao Yu, 50 kilograms of food and 6 yuan of betrothal money will be given to you to manage. You are the eldest brother, you will definitely be able to manage the family well, right?"

Lin Dajun's heart warmed up, and he nodded immediately, "Don't worry, big sister. I will definitely take good care of the family and my brothers. Don't worry."

Lin Erjun narrowed his eyes. He was jealous that his elder brother could manage 50 kilograms of food and 6 yuan, but he couldn't say it in front of everyone.

Qin Xiangju had not thought about the calculations of her future daughter-in-law. In her eyes, the 15-year-old daughter-in-law was a kind and innocent little girl, so in her eyes, she saw the ignorance of the Lin family brothers. Qin Xiangju said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's have dinner first, and then discuss Daya...Yi Yi and Xiao Yu'er's marriage after dinner."

The Xiao family's dinner was originally fixed, but now that there are more people from the Lin family, they can't divide the food even if they want to, so they can only cook more. The food they cook again is sweet potato soup. Cut a sweet potato into many pieces and then boil it with water. The sweet potato pieces are cut small, and each bowl has about ten pieces, but in fact, four or five bowls of sweet potato soup are only the amount of one sweet potato.

The brothers of the Lin family looked at the sweet potato soup and devoured it ravenously. They hadn't eaten for a day and were extremely hungry. However, no matter how fast or slow they ate, it was only one bowl anyway, and the Xiao family did the same.

Lin Yiyi eats slowly. She crushes the soft and glutinous sweet potatoes and feeds them to Lin Wudi. The two-year-old child can eat anything.

Xiao Yu looked at her, expressionless on his face, but with some thoughts in his mind.

After a good dinner, everyone is not busy anymore, because this bowl of food has to be consumed throughout the night. If you are busy again at night, you will be hungry in less than an hour.

Qin Xiangju said, "I have discussed with your grandmother and Xiaoyuer. Daya... Yiyi and Xiaoyuer are engaged, so we are preparing for them to get married in Rexiaonei." In that era, people didn't care about whether they could get a marriage certificate. Not to mention a 15-year-old girl getting married, even a 15-year-old girl giving birth to a child was allowed.

Mrs. Xiao said, "We don't even have enough food in this house. If another person comes, won't the food shortage be even greater?"

Qin Xiangju said, "Why don't you go back to your parents' home and come back when food is not a problem?" This daughter-in-law has always been a bit strong-willed. Originally, I thought that the eldest daughter-in-law's personality should not be like a bun, so she was too annoying. But when they met, she was also polite. Who knew that her personality changed after marriage? When the first child was a daughter, she was not as unruly as she is now. Now that she has a son, she has become even more unruly.

Mrs. Xiao said, "Why? I gave birth to the eldest grandson for the Xiao family. Why do you want to drive me back to my parents' home? Mother, what you said doesn't make sense."

Qin Xiangju: "As the eldest sister-in-law, you still care about your second uncle's marriage. What's your reason? Your father and I are not dead yet."

Lin Yiyi had some understanding of this Mrs. Xiao.

Brother Xiao pulled Sister Xiao and said, "Okay, don't talk about it. The third son has already married, so there's nothing wrong with the second son marrying a wife."

Mrs. Xiao said, "I am doing this for the sake of this family. If there is one more mouth to eat, we will have one less mouth to eat."

Brother Xiao stopped talking.

Xiao Yu said: "What my sister-in-law said makes sense. Getting married at this time is indeed a time when food is scarce at home."

Mrs. Xiao was delighted: "Look, mother, even my second uncle said so."

Xiao Yu said: "So after marriage, Daya and I can move out and not waste the family's food."

Grandma Xiao said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You and your eldest brother are both grandsons of the family. Your eldest brother's wife is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and your wife is also the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. How can one daughter-in-law eat the family's food while the other daughter-in-law can't? Are you trying to force the family to split up?"

Xiao Yu quickly patted Grandma Xiao on the shoulder and said, "It's your grandson's fault. Don't be angry."

Brother Xiao also hurriedly said: "Grandma, no, I definitely have no intention of dividing the family." He still has a son and a daughter. If he divides the family at this time, what will happen to his sons and daughters?

Mrs. Xiao stopped talking.

Qin Xiangju said, "It is my and his father's business to marry Xiaoyuer. We don't need your consent. You are all so proud of me, thinking that I am asking for your opinions. You don't even think about who you are. The betrothal gift for this marriage is 50 kilograms of food, 2 kilograms of wedding candy, and 6 yuan of gift money."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she became unhappy again: "In the first half of the year, the third son only spent 50 kilograms of grain to marry his wife, and in the second half of the year, the second son wants another 2 kilograms of wedding candy and 6 yuan in gift money to marry his wife. Isn't this an slap in the face of the third son?" The money in the public treasury belongs to their eldest son and grandson, and she is not willing to give it to others.

After hearing this, Xiao Bin and his wife had some thoughts in their minds. Although they knew that Xiao Dasao's words were not well-intentioned, it was also the fact. They were all sons, so why did the second brother say that the betrothal gift given by his daughter-in-law was more than that of him, the third son?

Qin Xiangju snorted, "When Xiaoyuer and Daya got married, the public funds provided 50 kilograms of food, and the 2 kilograms of wedding candy and the 6 yuan betrothal gift were paid by Xiaoyuer himself. If the third brother is capable and wants to give the third brother's family an additional 2 kilograms of wedding candy and 6 yuan betrothal gift, I have no objection. You guys make the decisions anyway, and you're using your own private money."

When Xiao Bin heard that his second brother was going to pay for it himself, he gave up. It would be better to keep the private money for himself than to use it to pay for the betrothal gift. The betrothal gift is for the mother-in-law's family, while the private money is hidden for his own use.

Mrs. Xiao said, "Second uncle is a soldier. Everyone knows that his salary is higher than that of my third brother. How can my third brother make up for it if you say so?"

Qin Xiangju wanted to say something, but Lin Yiyi said weakly, "Why not... why not let Brother Xiao Yu give Third Sister-in-law a betrothal gift? Although... although it's not nice to hear that Second Uncle used his private money to give Third Sister-in-law a betrothal gift, people will think that Brother Xiao Yu and Third Sister-in-law have something going on, but as long as we don't say anything, no one else will know, right?"

Qin Xiangju's face turned black: "Nonsense, how can my second uncle give my younger sister-in-law a betrothal gift?"

Lin Yiyi shrank her body and leaned towards Xiao Yu, revealing a frightened look: "I'm sorry, Auntie, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested this. Then... why don't we refer to the betrothal gift of my eldest sister-in-law. What was the rule when my eldest sister-in-law and my eldest brother got married? Let's do the same."

After Lin Yiyi said this, Mrs. Xiao fell silent, but Xiao Yu curled the corner of his mouth.

Qin Xiangju said, "Yi Yi is right. Why don't we follow the rules of the eldest family for Xiao Yu'er's marriage? Even the betrothal gift of 50 catties of grain from the third family is not enough. Can we make up for it? I still remember the betrothal gift for the eldest brother's marriage. In addition to grain, there was also six catties of meat. 66 Shun, they gave six catties of meat just to make it auspicious. What do you think of the eldest family?"

Mrs. Xiao said dejectedly, "Back then...back then we got married early, but where can we find meat now? No one in the whole village raises pigs." No one has raised pigs since the end of last year. People are already hungry, so where can they find food to feed pigs?

Qin Xiangju: "When you got married, the meat coupons were sent by Xiaoyuer from the army, just for the betrothal gift of six catties of meat for your family. This man should not forget his roots. However..." Qin Xiangju changed the subject, not caring about the ugly face of the eldest daughter-in-law, "Although six catties of meat are no longer available in this era, it can be discounted. According to the price on the black market now, one dollar is not enough to buy half a catty of meat. Xiaoyuer and the third brother will suffer a little loss. Six catties of meat is 6 dollars. Xiaoyuer's six dollars of betrothal gift will be paid by the public, and the third brother's family will give you another six dollars. Do you have any objections? The eldest family should treat everyone equally, so we will follow yours."

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Bin: "We have no opinion." Who would have an opinion if they got six dollars for free?

Xiao Yu said: "Then I will take out another 10 yuan as a betrothal gift, 16 yuan in total, for good luck." As he said that, he looked at Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi also looked at Xiao Yu, somewhat surprised.

Qin Xiangju's eyes flickered. Is the second brother trying to suppress the eldest brother's wife?

Everyone knows that when a man marries a wife, the amount of the betrothal gift depends on how much he values ​​the wife. If Daya's betrothal gift is 16 yuan, it is the highest among all the daughters-in-law. Although it is said that this is the money paid by the second son himself, it is known as the betrothal gift of the Xiao family.

However, thinking about the eldest son's wife's behavior, Qin Xiangju said, "You decide how much money you want to pay. This is your business as a couple. I, as a mother, will not interfere in your affairs in the room and cause you to dislike me." The implication was that if she, as a mother, did not care, you, as sisters-in-law and younger brothers' wives, should not get involved.
