"What did you say?"
A surprised voice, almost breaking the wind, was heard.
Jiang Li, who was about to take a walk within the clan, stopped at the corner.
But then I heard the girl continue to speak, her tone was obviously excited.
"You don't have a house of your own, and you're still living on your ancestral property. And that's not all, you still have to pay a fee to the clan every year?"
This situation makes it impossible for girls to express their feelings.
Although the amount of payment is different, it is paid for free. Why?
From a girl's perspective, Jiang Li felt that there was nothing wrong with the other party.
This money was paid into the clan's public account, not the man's parents.
It’s understandable that girls feel unhappy.
The man is probably not a rough one.
He explained to the girl, "This has been the Jiang family's rule for nearly a thousand years. We pay three thousand yuan a year, and in the future, our children's tuition will be covered by the clan from the time they start school until they graduate from university."
"Linlin, am I such an unreliable person in your heart?"
"If they really felt it was inappropriate, the people in the clan wouldn't have stayed to live there. They would have left the clan long ago and made their own living."
Hearing this, the girl seemed to think it was appropriate.
"This money is not only used for the children's education, but also for the maintenance of the clan buildings, and for subsidies for housewives after they reach the statutory retirement age."
"If you still can't accept it, I accept any choice you make."
"Whether we stay in the clan or leave the clan and survive independently, it's all fine."
"Even if you break up with me, I will respect your decision."
Zhang Lin was silent.
She and Jiang Beisen were in a free relationship and had been dating for almost two years.
When the relationship stabilized, she immediately suggested taking it a step further.
Followed her to the Jiang family clan.
Unexpectedly, this is a rare group of ancient buildings.
She fell in love with it at first sight.
Later, it was learned that this entire complex of ancient buildings belonged to the head of the Jiang family alone.
All members of the tribe only have the right to reside here.
They even have to pay a sum of money to the clan every year.
Personally, I cannot accept this.
After all, she and Jiang Beisen were ordinary people, in an ordinary relationship, and their combined monthly salary was only about 15,000 or 16,000 yuan.
Although each person has to pay a minimum fee of one thousand yuan per year, it is all in vain.
She still didn't want to accept it.
But she also really loves Jiang Beisen deeply.
She was indeed sad that she didn't have a house of her own.
Footsteps were heard, and soon the two were about to pass through the alley, and they saw Jiang Li standing at the entrance of the alley with his back against the wall.
"Head of the family."
Jiang Beisen shouted hurriedly.
Zhang Lin suddenly looked up and looked at the young woman next to him.
She was wearing a simple and elegant lake blue dress, which made her fair skin look even more striking.
Rosy cheeks make you look healthy and energetic.
Is this the owner of the large complex of ancient buildings?
Jiang Li nodded and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. "It's almost noon. Take your girlfriend home for dinner."
Jiang Beisen nodded and quickly pulled Zhang Lin away.
Walk a few meters away.
Zhang Lin looked back and saw that the other party was going in the opposite direction of them.
She couldn't help but look at her boyfriend and said, "Such a young family head? Are you afraid of her?"
Jiang Beisen said, "It's not fear, it's embarrassment. The head of the family must have heard what we just talked about."
Zhang Lin thought about it, her cheeks flushed, and she was indeed a little embarrassed.
However, she still held his hand slightly tightly and followed him home.
Jiang Beisen's family lives in an independent ancient courtyard.
There is a small flowing lotus pond in the yard, with running water flowing around the two-story building and the fragrance of flowers filling the air.
There are exquisite corridors, pavilions with floating gauze, and a row of lush green onions planted in the corners of the walls.
Walking on the bluestone road and onto the corridor, a snow-white poodle ran towards Jiang Beisen, barking.
Living in a city surrounded by steel jungles, Zhang Lin saw for the first time an ancient courtyard of buildings that looked like a painting.
It was so beautiful that she could hardly recover from it.
Jiang Beisen bent down and picked up the puppy, saying, "Dun Dun, do you miss your brother?"
The little poodle barked in support.
Zhang Lin came back to his senses and petted the snow-white puppy. "Is this yours?"
"Yeah, my mom raised him."
When I entered the house, I didn't see my parents.
Jiang Beisen made a phone call.
Soon, a beautiful woman with a plump figure came back.
When he saw Zhang Lin, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Are you hungry? Your dad is in Taotie Tower and will be back soon."
Then he warmly invited Zhang Lin to sit down and took out some exquisite snacks.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin said, "Auntie, did you make this? It's so beautiful."
The woman waved her hand and smiled, "It wasn't me, Taotie Tower did it."
Just two simple sentences, but I heard Taotielou twice.
Zhang Lin turned his gaze to Jiang Beisen.
He smiled and said, "Taotie Building is the clan's dining hall. Usually, we're too lazy to cook, so everyone in the group goes there to eat. We eat for free."
Zhang Lin: “…”
At this time, she felt guilty for arguing with her boyfriend about the thousand yuan a year she had paid.
One thousand yuan, the money for her set of cosmetics.
By giving it to the clan, future children can enjoy free tuition and free meals in the clan.
Looking at how exquisite the dim sum is, how could the food be bad?
Thinking of this, her cheeks turned red.
"Shall we go to Taotie Tower for lunch?" She was curious and wanted to go and take a look.
