During this period, he asked a matchmaker to introduce him to a couple of other people, but either Shen Xiangnan looked down on her or the other party looked down on Shen Xiangnan.

Now, they have finally found someone that both parties like.

The girl is from the next county, she is 21 years old this year, and she is very good-looking, but she wants a high bride price.

The gift of honor costs four hundred yuan, plus three turns and one ring, plus the banquet and other miscellaneous items, it will cost at least a thousand yuan.

"You don't need to tell me about this. As long as you guys pick a date and get it done, I won't worry about it."

Qin Jinlian looked at her and said, "Then you should give some money as a token of your appreciation. Your second brother's marriage was originally going to be a good one, but you ruined it."

Shen Mingzhu got angry when she heard this and sneered, "Yang Lizhen is still unmarried. If you think she is good, you can take your second brother home and remarry Yang Lizhen. If I say one more word, I will take your surname!"

Qin Jinlian choked for a long time before she said angrily, "I didn't say that you should let your second brother remarry Yang Lizhen. Anyway, you can't favor one over the other and only help your eldest brother to make money without caring about your second brother's life or death."

Shen Mingzhu continued to sneer, "So, you can't stand seeing your elder brother and his wife living a good life? Okay, I'll kick them out of the food factory and go to the countryside to farm with you, okay?"

Qin Jinlian glared at her, "You damn girl, is this what I meant?"

"Then what do you mean? Selling my daughter once is not enough, do I have to suck her blood for the rest of my life? Those who know me think I'm just his sister, but those who don't think I'm his mother, and even after getting married, I still have to support him, my brother from my mother's side."

Qin Jinlian was also angry because of her retort, "What are you talking about, you heartless girl, now that you live in a big house and have a good life, you don't care about your second brother's life or death? Have you forgotten how good Xiangnan was to you when you were a child?"

"Yes, I forgot everything! I only remember that you sold me to Pei Yang for a betrothal gift of 550 yuan. Now I am Pei Yang's wife, and everyone calls me Mrs. Pei!"

Qin Jinlian's face turned red and white, her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Sister Yu heard the noise and came out to persuade them, "Hey, it's so hot, calm down and talk nicely."

Qin Jinlian took the opportunity to climb up the pole, "Anyway, Chaobei said that he would take 200 yuan for marrying Xiangnan, and I don't want the extra money, so you can take 300 yuan."

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Don't even mention three hundred. I won't even pay thirty. You can marry this daughter-in-law or not."

After saying that, he turned to Sister Yu and ordered, "Don't let her in from now on. If she does, I'll deduct two dollars from your salary."

Sister Yu looked at this, then looked at that, then simply ignored it and went to the kitchen.

Being despised and driven away by her daughter in front of outsiders, Qin Jinlian felt aggrieved and sad, and her tears could not stop flowing.

"Without me, do you think you would have lived such a good life today? I raised you in vain. If I had known you were so heartless, I would have never given birth to you."

"Without me, my eldest brother would still be farming in the countryside, and my second brother would still be a bachelor, unable to find a wife. Do you still expect him to get married again? Are you dreaming?"

Qin Jinlian left crying.

Qin Jinlian did not return to the countryside, but went to the food factory to find Shen Chaobei and cry to her.

She originally thought that Shen Chaobei, the most filial son, would definitely stand on her side and help her condemn her daughter's unfilial behavior.

As a result, Shen Chaobei scolded her instead.

"No matter how rich I am, I earned it myself. I also have a child, so I have to support the family, right? Can I still control my brother from my mother's family for the rest of my life?"

Qin Jinlian failed to find comfort from her eldest brother, so she could only return to the countryside feeling full of grievances and unhappy.

When she told her husband about this, she was scolded by him again. Qin Jinlian was completely overwhelmed and lay on the kang crying loudly.

Shen Mingzhu originally thought that since she had spoken so harshly, Qin Jinlian would give up on it.

As a result, within two days, Shen Xiangnan came with his girlfriend and wanted Shen Mingzhu to arrange a job for him in the food factory.

Shen Mingzhu was not afraid of the family scandal being exposed, so she questioned Shen Xiangnan directly in front of the girl.

Shen Xiangnan was always honest in front of her, "Yes, Mom, she said she would arrange a job for Yuemei in the city to offset the 200 yuan betrothal gift."

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she almost laughed.

Qin Jinlian is stupid, but she has a lot of crooked ideas.

She looked the girl up and down. Perhaps frightened by her cold and stern look, the girl's cheeks turned red, her hands were twisted together, and she looked a little nervous.

She looks pretty and doesn't seem to be a scheming person.

"Your name is Yuemei, right?"

Shen Xiangnan immediately said: "Jia Yuemei."

Perhaps because she was afraid that she would not take her in, Jia Yuemei was busy promoting herself: "I can do everything from washing clothes to cooking and cleaning. I will definitely do my job well."

Shen Mingzhu looked at Jia Yuemei and said, "I can give you a chance. If you pass the interview, you can stay in the factory to work. But I want to make one thing clear. You can get this chance not because Qin Jinlian promised you anything, but because I gave it to you because of my second brother's love."

Jia Yuemei nodded repeatedly, excitement showing on her face.

"See, I told you, my little sister is a good person, she won't ignore me."

After leaving Pei's house, Shen Xiangnan couldn't help showing off to Jia Yuemei.

Jia Yuemei nodded happily and looked back at the Pei family's small red brick building, with envy on her pretty face, "Your little sister is really pretty, and the house she lives in is also beautiful."

Shen Xiangnan couldn't help but look back at the Pei family's yard, and said, "You like this, right? When I save enough money in the future, I will build you a bigger and better-looking villa in the countryside."

"You're just bragging. Do you know how much it costs to build such a big house?"

Shen Xiangnan counted on his fingers, "My younger sister spent a little over 10,000 yuan on this house. Building a new house in the countryside doesn't cost that much. We both earn money in the city, so we can save at least 700 to 800 yuan a year. In ten years, that's 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, or at most ten years."

Jia Yuemei pouted when she heard this, "It takes so long."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Shen Xiangnan immediately coaxed her: "Why don't we build a smaller bungalow first? If we build a bungalow, three to four thousand yuan will be enough."

Only then did a smile appear on Jia Yuemei's face.

In the evening, Pei Yang told Shen Mingzhu the results of Jia Yuemei's interview.

The food factory recruitment interview was divided into a written test and a skills test, both of which Jia Yuemei passed successfully. However, Pei Yang did not hire Jia Yuemei on the spot, but wanted to ask Shen Mingzhu's opinion first.

Upon learning that Jia Yuemei had passed the interview, Shen Mingzhu directly asked Pei Yang to arrange for her to enter the factory.

She had her own considerations for keeping Jia Yuemei.

If Jia Yuemei lived in the countryside after marriage, given Shen Xiangnan's personality, he would definitely go there from time to time, which would not only affect his work, but also make him easily seduced by Qin Jinlian.

As long as Jia Yuemei is not a troublemaker, she doesn't mind giving Jia Yuemei a meal and letting the young couple settle down in the city in the future.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Shen Mingzhu to leave the confinement period.

It was a coincidence that Shen Baolan gave birth on the day Shen Mingzhu came out of confinement. (End of this chapter)
