Extra 1: Fanjia Village
When Fan Daqiang and his wife returned from Beijing with the one thousand yuan given by Fan Hua, they were so proud.
In this era, the dowry for marrying off a daughter in the village is only about a hundred yuan. Two hundred yuan is considered high. Even if she marries in the city, the maximum she can get is five hundred yuan. They can get one thousand yuan from Fan Hua, which is the highest in the village!
As for the fact that Fan Hua broke off the relationship with them, they didn't care at all.
In fact, they also realized that even if they didn't take the thousand yuan, Fan Hua would not care about them anymore. After all, they still knew what they had done to Fan Hua.
As for Fan Youcheng, they always thought that the guy was just speaking out of anger and would come back in a few days, so they didn't think anything of it.
The three members of the Fan family had a good New Year. When the weather got a little warmer, Fan Daqiang started to spend money to build a house. They demolished the old mud house and built a brand new brick house, which cost more than 200 yuan in total.
There were nearly 800 yuan left, which was enough for Fan Youcai to marry a beautiful wife in a grand ceremony.
However, the Fan family has always had a bad reputation in the village. Even though the house has been built now, no good family is willing to marry their daughter to Fan Youcai.
In the past, everyone said that the Fan family was lazy and never satisfied with taking advantage of others. Now, there is one more thing, that is, selling their daughter to marry their son...
If a family like this gives birth to a girl after marrying off their daughter, who knows what kind of treatment they will receive!
In addition, although Fan Youcheng did not come back, after he established himself in Guangzhou, he talked to those gangsters he used to be particularly good friends with on the phone and told them the truth about why he suddenly decided to come to Guangzhou.
Later, the incident was exaggerated by some gangsters, and soon the whole Fanjia Village knew how excessive what Fan Daqiang and his wife had done and how bad their character was!
Although the Fan couple were angry in their hearts, they still spread the word that when Fan Youcai got married, they would not only give a dowry of 200 yuan, but also buy the new wife a bicycle.
The number of families in Fanjia Village who own bicycles can be counted on one’s five fingers, so this condition is still very tempting.
Soon a matchmaker came to the door...
"Mrs. Zhang, what do you think of Wu Cuicui, the girl from Wu Laolai's family at the east end of the village? That girl used to have a good relationship with your Lihua. She always came to your house, so she is very familiar with your family. I think she is a perfect match for Youcai! It will definitely be a good marriage!"
Zhang Huifang was silent for a moment before she spoke with some hesitation, "She has a good relationship with Lihua, so has she heard about the severance of the relationship between Lihua and us? Will she resent us for trying to stand up for Lihua?"
"How could that be? Her family asked me to ask. Maybe she has already been attracted by your family's talent!" said the matchmaker with a smile.
Zhang Huifang didn't dare to make plans with her son, so she said, "Then we'll discuss it after Daqiang and Youcai come back and then write back to you!"
"Of course there is no problem. Cuicui is obviously a smart girl. If your family is willing, you'd better hurry up. Someone has asked me about this girl before." After saying this, the matchmaker left with a smile.
In the evening, after Fan Daqiang and Fan Youcai came back, Zhang Huifang told them about the matchmaker's visit today. They were all familiar with Wu Cuicui. After all, Wu Cuicui was the only friend of the original owner Fan Lihua in Fanjia Village, and she had come to the house to play with the original owner many times before.
Fan Youcai recalled Wu Cuicui's appearance. Although she was not as pretty as his sister Fan Lihua, she had a hot body and was considered a good girl in Fanjia Village.
So he nodded and said, "Mom, I think this girl is good, I have no objection!"
Fan Daqiang took two puffs of his pipe and said, "Does this girl really not care about how we treat Lihua? Is she still willing to marry into our family?"
"The matchmaker said that it was the Wu family who took the initiative to find a matchmaker. I think that maybe this girl always came to find Fan Hua because she was attracted by our talented boy!
It's just that the girl is shy and embarrassed to say it. After all, Lihua is pretty but notoriously stupid in the village, and no one wants to be friends with her." Zhang Huifang expressed her speculation.
When the three of them heard this, the more they thought about it, the more it made sense. Even Fan Youcai became more satisfied with this marriage. After all, which man wouldn't want to marry a girl who has admired him for many years?
In fact, they did guess some of them correctly. When Wu Cuicui came to see the original owner, she did have a crush on the son of the Fan family. However, she was not attracted to Fan Youcai, but to Fan Youcheng, so she wanted to see Fan Youcheng more often under the pretext of looking for Fan Hua.
And now Wu Cuicui decided to remarry Fan Youcai entirely because her father, Wu Laolai, went out to gamble and owed others money. If he could not pay it back within a month, her father would use her to pay off the debt!
So when Wu Cuicui heard that the Fan family would give a dowry of 200 yuan and buy the woman a bicycle, she started thinking about this.
Wu Cuicui had a good plan. She planned to marry Fan Youcai first to pay off her father's gambling debts. Fan Youcheng would come back sooner or later, and after Fan Youcheng came back, she would slowly seduce her brother-in-law.
After all, they are all family and haven't split up yet. It's better for her to be close to the water and get the moon first. After she seduces her brother-in-law, she will divorce Fan Youcai and marry Fan Youcheng. She doesn't care what others say, as long as she gets what she wants, it's enough!
As for the original owner, that fool Fan Lihua, Wu Cuicui never regarded her as a real friend, so when Zhao Yilu asked her to help pass the letter to the original owner, she turned around and tore it up.
How could Wu Cuicui, who was as stupid as the original owner, watch her marry an educated youth from the city? She should have just married a widower or a fool, and let the Fan family earn the bride price and then marry her into the family. How could she deserve to marry someone better than herself?
Two days later, Wu Cuicui received a reply from the matchmaker. The Fan family agreed to the marriage and the wedding ceremony and banquet could be arranged this month.
