The 57th day of being eavesdropped
Gu Jinshui asked questions along the way and finally found out what happened.
Wasn't today the day that Shanhu and Naqi Zhenzhu were going to get their marriage certificate? Douzi borrowed a set of clothes from his brother, a Zhongshan suit, thinking that Shanhu and the girl would take a photo after getting their marriage certificate.
But as soon as Douzi and his brother arrived at Shanhu's house, they heard a quarrel inside.
Douzi said, "Brother, you don't know, the girl's brother and sister and a bunch of cousins were here, and the girl's father was even more overbearing, he stood at the door, saying that we must give a dowry of 2,000 yuan, otherwise we won't get the marriage certificate."
"2,000 yuan for a dowry?"
Gu Jinshui was riding very fast, and the wind blew over his head and face, messing up Douzi's hair. He covered his head and shrank into his coat: "That's right, he asked for 2,000 yuan in one breath, and Shanhu refused to give it. I wanted to offer less, like 300 to 500 yuan, but he refused and started throwing things. I saw that something was wrong, so I asked my brother to call for help, and then I came to find you quickly."
Fortunately, Shanhu lived not far away.
Gu Jinshui rode fast and arrived in no time. He left his bike at the door and hurried in with Douzi. As they walked to the middle courtyard, the door of Shanhu's room was crowded with people, and there were even noises of quarrels and fighting coming from inside the room.
Gu Jinshui hurriedly said, "Make way, make way, I'm Shanhu's friend."
He squeezed in with Douzi. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the mess on the floor. Melon seeds and peanuts were scattered all over the floor. The red cloth that was originally bought was thrown on the floor, and there were several shoe prints on it.
"Brother."
Seeing Gu Jinshui coming, Shanhu showed an embarrassed look on his face.
"Who are you? This is a matter between our two families. What does it have to do with you?" A thin man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks stared at Gu Jinshui.
Gu Jinshui walked forward and ignored him, but looked at Shanhu, "Who are they?"
"Dafei, the brother of Zhenzhu."
Shanhu said in a hoarse voice.
He looked at Dafei, and his heart was also burning with anger: "Dafei, you are Zhenzhu's brother, how can you make such a fuss!"
Qi Dafei sneered, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to curse.
The sloppy old man sitting on the kang next to him and smoking a dry pipe pulled him and looked at Shanhu: "Shanhu, although Dafei did something too much, you are not sincere. You have made a lot of money in the past few years. My daughter Zhenzhu is marrying you, and you only give you three or five hundred. Is that reasonable? Other people give a thousand as a gift when they marry their daughters!"
"One thousand?" Gu Jinshui was shocked.
Douzi hurriedly said, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. There is a thousand yuan betrothal gift, but what are the girl's conditions? She is a graduate from a regular university with a stable job! What kind of education does your girl have? She didn't even graduate from elementary school. How dare she ask for a thousand yuan? Pah!"
Hearing this, the Qi family immediately lost face .
Old man Qi glared at Douzi and looked at Shanhu: "I don't care about others. I know you can afford the two thousand yuan. Are you going to give it or not?"
Gu Jinshui's heart skipped a beat.
He glanced at Shanhu and knew that Shanhu's background had been figured out by someone, otherwise Old man Qi would not have said this number based on Shanhu's savings.
"Yes, are you going to give it or not? If not, let's forget about the marriage!"
Qi Dafei shouted at the side.
People in the yard outside were laughing. Some said that the Qi family was asking for too much, and some said that Shanhu was a fool to be interested in such a young lady.
Two thousand, that's two thousand yuan. No one in the yard had ever seen so much money in their lives. Old man Qi dared to ask for this.
Shanhu clenched his fists, veins on the back of his hands bulged. He looked at Zhenzhu, "Zhenzhu, do you have to have these two thousand to marry me?"
Zhenzhu lowered her head. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress, and her lips were rouge, red and dripping with tears. "Brother Hu, it's not easy for my father to raise me. You, just give it to him. Anyway, you can still make money in the future."
Douzi was almost angry to death.
Love is not about making money, but it is easy to talk. You can make money in the future.
His master's money, is it easy to make money?
In order to make money, he and Shanhu run around day and night, sometimes they are spotted by some gangsters and have to fight with them.
It can be said that this money is really hard-earned money.
Douzi couldn't help but want to speak, but Gu Jinshui held him back. He stared at Shanhu and said, "Let Shanhu make his own decision."
Douzi wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he could only shut his mouth helplessly and folded his hands.
He could almost think that his brother Shanhu would become the first victim in the city from tomorrow.
"What if I can't make money in the future?"
Shanhu asked, "Are you willing to work with me to make money?"
Zhenzhu subconsciously said, "How is that possible? Aren't you good at making money?" As soon as
these words came out, the room was quiet for a moment.
Zhenzhu realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly stood up and pulled Shanhu, "Shanhu, I really want to live a good life with you, but my family is too poor..."
"It's not my fault that your family is poor."
Shanhu was silent for a moment, and pushed Zhenzhu's hand away. Zhenzhu showed a look of astonishment on her face. Obviously, she had never thought that Shanhu would reject her.
"Since you all said so, then this marriage is off. I, Shanhu, am not worthy of your daughter."
Shanhu said directly.
His heart was bleeding, and his eyes were red, but he refused to shed a tear.
However.
Shanhu was too naive.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Qi family members went crazy.
"What did you say? If you say you won't marry her, then my daughter will become a joke!" Mr. Qi immediately threw down his cigarette and walked forward angrily.
Qi Dafei even picked up the plate on the table and threw it at Shanhu.
Shanhu was caught off guard and was hit on the head, shaking all over.
Gu Jinshui hurriedly went up to hold him, pointing at Mr. Qi and the others: "What are you doing? What are you doing! You want to go to jail for beating people, right?!"
Old man Qi widened his eyes and spat on the ground, "Bah, I'm so old, don't scare me. If you have the guts, go call the police. I'm going to sue this grandson for hooliganism and bullying my daughter! Either give me money today, or we'll call the police!"
"Yes, let's call the police, this matter is not over yet!"
Qi Dafei and others shouted.
Douzi's forehead was covered with sweat. He moved to Gu Jinshui's side and asked, "Jinshui, what should we do? If we call the police, it's really hard to say."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Although Gu Jinshui was worried, he didn't show it on his face: "Let's call the police. This hooliganism crime is not something they can just say. The police have to investigate and collect evidence. Besides, they were talking about the target before. Everyone knows about this. Call the police, okay, let's try calling the police!"
He said logically.
Qi Dafei and others were all gangsters. They had never been to school. How could they know whether what he said was true or false?
Seeing that they were scared, Gu Jinshui pointed at Zhenzhu and said, "Besides, don't think that hooliganism is only for men. Women can also be convicted of hooliganism. If my brother really goes to jail, you girls will go to jail with him. Now it's good. My brother won't be in jail for a few years anyway. If you girls go to jail, they will tear your bones apart!"
Zhenzhu was so scared that her face turned pale. She stepped back and walked to the side of old man Qi, "Dad, I, I don't want to go to jail."
"What's your business? Shut up!"
Old man Qi scolded in a low voice.
Zhenzhu bit her lip and stepped back. She bumped into a man with a scoundrel look. The man pinched her waist. Zhenzhu glared at the man quietly.
Old man Qi was completely unaware. He turned his head and looked at Gu Jinshui, "Who are you?"
"Gu Jinshui, Brother Shanhu."
Seeing that the old man was getting weak, Gu Jinshui took a pack of cigarettes and threw it over. When the old man saw that it was Zhonghua, he coughed and put it away, "Okay, I've heard of you. You're a young and promising person. But today's matter is not so easy to let go. Your brother bullied my daughter, and you must give an explanation for this."
"It's easy to give an explanation if you want one,"
said Gu Jinshui.
He looked at the mess in the house and said, "But your family smashed my brother's house like this, so what?"
"It's not that he is not open-minded..."
Qi Dafei was about to curse a few words, but Old Man Qi stopped him, "What do you want to do?"
"That's right, if you come at me forcefully, we won't be polite either."
Gu Jinshui said, "If you are more polite, we will also be polite. I have to discuss this matter with my brother today. The marriage will definitely not be held, but the compensation can be negotiated."
"Talk about it, my sister is a virgin..."
Qi Dafei hadn't finished speaking when he was slapped by Old Man Qi.
Old man Qi glared at him fiercely, using his eyes to tell him to shut up. Qi Dafei covered his face, feeling very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to confront the old man.
"What are you talking about? My daughter has wasted so much time on your brother. You know that a woman's youth is priceless."
Old man Qi put his hands in his pockets and looked up and down at Gu Jinshui's dress, as if he wanted to measure how much money he could get from Gu Jinshui.
"What price do you want?" Gu Jinshui said.
"At least three thousand!"
Old man Qi regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, and raised four fingers: "No, four thousand!"
"Four thousand, your daughter is inlaid with gold!"
Douzi couldn't help but swear.
Old Man Qi chuckled, his face full of pride, "Hey, my daughter is inlaid with gold, so what? If you think it's expensive, fine, take out two thousand to marry my daughter."
"This price is definitely not acceptable!"
Gu Jinshui said without thinking, "If you say so, just call the police and ask them to come."
Old Man Qi's face fell, he looked up and down at Gu Jinshui, "Then what price do you say?"
"We need to go back and discuss the price."
Gu Jinshui looked at the seven or eight men opposite, his face showed no fear.
"If you agree, we will meet here the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Old Man Qi thought about it, and actually nodded and agreed to let Gu Jinshui go with Shanhu.
Qi Dafei was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, what if Shanhu runs away?" "
He can't run away."
Old man Qi was confident, "His belongings are all here, how can he run away? Besides, I think Shanhu has given up on our Zhenzhu. His child is in our Zhenzhu's belly. He is just trying to scare us. We must take out the two thousand yuan later."
Qi Dafei reacted, patted his head, and said, "Yes, yes, Dad, the old ones are still the wisest, and you are still smart."
