Chapter 142 My sister decided to marry Ma Youcai
Yike accompanied her sister Han Guihua to boil water, and the two chatted casually.
"Sister, actually I have been thinking about a question." Han Guihua hesitated to speak.
"What are you thinking about?" Yi Ke asked curiously.
“It’s a household registration issue.”
"Hasn't he moved out already? He has the certificate and the letter of introduction, so there's no problem getting settled there!"
"That's not what I meant. I just thought that since you and Ziyi are married, it's normal for you to move here. But if I move here too, people will inevitably ask me why. I don't want the people in your village to know what my parents did and let others talk about you." Han Guihua started to cry sadly as she spoke.
"Sister, don't think too much. We don't have to explain to outsiders. Just say that you are my only relative and I came here because I couldn't bear to leave."
"That's not good either. I've only heard that it's possible to bring parents along when getting married, but no one has brought their sister along when getting married."
Han Guihua said, "I didn't think about the situation carefully at the time, but now I think it's really inappropriate. I should have kept my household registration in that village, but just separated it from my parents' household registration. This way it won't have a bad impact on you."
"That won't work. Your household registration is in the village, and your food supply is also in the village, so you still have to live in that village. We are not in that village, so you can't hide from them if they do anything to you, and if you really do something bad, no one will be willing to help you. After all, you are related by blood, and Yang Huaihua uses her mother's identity to make trouble, what can you do? Or she secretly kidnaps you and sells you in the middle of the night, and who would know? After this incident, she will not lock you up again, but sell you directly. We won't even have a chance to save you, so you can't live in the same village with her anymore."
"Sister, does Ma Youcai have a house?" Han Guihua did not respond to Yi Ke's question, but pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Yi Ke was stunned for a moment before saying, "Yes, it seems to be an old house. Last time I heard him say he wanted to renovate it, I don't know if it has been renovated yet. But the house doesn't matter. He has at least a thousand yuan in savings, so he has enough money even if he builds a new house."
"Thousands of yuan?" Han Guihua exclaimed, then realized something was wrong, quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Where did he get so much money? He won't do anything bad, will he?"
"Don't worry about that. He made his money by doing business with Ziyi. It's fair and aboveboard."
"No, isn't business just speculation? How can it be aboveboard?"
"Speculation is also business, not stealing or robbing. Even if he doesn't do business now, he still has food to eat. He has a cow in the production team to help him earn work points."
“The cow helps him earn work points?”
"Yes! Because the cow is his." Yi Ke realized that it would take hours to explain this clearly, so he simply said: "Can you let him tell you the details? If you agree, you don't need to know so much if you don't agree."
"Sister, how can you agree if you don't understand? What if he does something illegal? Then it will implicate you."
"Do you know anything about the black market?"
"A little."
"So do you think it's right to trade on the black market?"
"I don't know. I only know that if you are caught trading on the black market, you will be sent to labor reform, and your life will be over." "Yes, you are right. Ziyi and Ma Youcai are engaged in this dangerous business. But in order to ensure that more people can have food to eat, more people will not starve to death, and in order to have money to spend, live a more comfortable life, and not waste the food you can't finish, you still have to take this risk."
"What do you mean, sister? There is no such thing as endless food now."
"Yes! I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. Didn't I escape into the forest? Ziyi and I reclaimed hundreds of acres of wasteland in the forest and grew a lot of food. We also raised a lot of chickens, ducks and pigs. We couldn't eat all the food, so Ziyi and Ma Youcai sold it. Ma Youcai also reclaimed dozens of acres of land in the forest. He made his money from selling food."
Han Guihua felt like she was listening to a story, but since it was told by her younger sister, she had to believe that it was not a story.
"Sister, then I will go to the forest too, not to your village."
"Sure, but you have to get your household registration first."
Han Guihua was silent. She really didn’t want to register her household registration in her sister’s village and let people gossip about her sister.
"Sister, the water is boiling. Do you want to wash first or should I?"
"You wash first, I'll help you rub your hair."
So the two sisters washed each other's hair, and they both felt that time had returned to their childhood, when they washed their hair together with soapberries by the river.
At that time, Yang Huaihua would not allow Yike to wash her hair at home no matter whether it was hot or cold, saying that it was a waste of firewood, even though the firewood was also picked up by Yike.
By the river, Han Guihua would secretly help Yi Ke wash his hair and catch lice. I didn’t expect that the two sisters now have the opportunity to be together, and they can wash their hair openly, and no one will scold or beat them anymore.
Although Yang Huaihua was not as bad to Han Guihua as she was to Yike, she was not much better either. Apart from having food to eat, clothes to wear and studying, she still had to work in the fields all the time. Unlike Han Jiabao, he works in the fields every other day.
Han Guihua made a decision in her heart and waited for the two sisters to wash and dry their hair. Han Guihua said to Yike: "Sister, I have decided. I will marry Ma Youcai and register my household registration directly in his home."
"No, sister, you can temporarily register your household registration with me. You can get along with him first. If you get along well, you can get married and then transfer your household registration there. There is no need to rush. Although I think he is okay, I only see the surface. Marriage means two people living together every day. Personality, temper and many other aspects need to be considered. You can only know whether you are compatible after getting along with each other."
"How many women marry blindly? At least you know him a little bit. Based on what you just said, I think he's pretty good. He doesn't discriminate against boys, which makes me feel relieved. Who can guarantee that you will only have boys after marriage? So, sister, as long as he agrees, we don't need to date, we can get married directly. He's not young anymore anyway."
"But you just..." Before he could finish his words, Ma Youcai rushed in from outside and said anxiously: "I agree! I agree! Sister Guihua, I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life! I, our future home will be yours, and you have the final say in the family. Also, all my money will be given to you for safekeeping, wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Ma Youcai spoke non-stop like setting off firecrackers, and then he hurriedly wanted to run back.
Yike and Han Guihua were both startled by Ma Youcai's sudden appearance, and were stunned by his rapid-fire words. When they realized what he was saying, he had already turned around and ran out the door again.
Yike ran over and grabbed him. Han Guihua cried out "Ouch" and covered her face shyly and ran into the side room.
"Why are you running? Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you bring the money to me, my sister won't accept it. Are you stupid? It's not too late to pay after you get married."
"No, what I'm paying now is not money, but attitude and determination. You don't understand."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand. Now you understand! Now my sister is shy because of what you said, why don't you go and comfort her, show your determination, and talk?"
Yike looked at Ma Youcai from head to toe and found that the boy had his hair cut, shaved, and even changed into a new set of clothes. He no longer had that playful look on his face, and he looked quite handsome. He was a good match for his sister.
"Well, then I'll go in." Ma Youcai also felt embarrassed.
"Well! Go ahead! Brother, just be brave and chase him. Come on!" Yike made a cheering gesture.
Ma Youcai didn't understand what it meant, but he knew it must be good, so he imitated her and made a cheering gesture, then strode towards Han Guihua's room.
No one knew how Ma Youcai used his sweet words to deceive Han Guihua, but Han Guihua finally told him a decision that shocked her: "We will get married in a week."
When Yike told Ziyi about this, he recalled that he had asked Han Guihua to reconsider and date for a while before getting married, but Han Guihua refused without hesitation. He couldn't help but say:
"Brother Ziyi, you are such an awesome brother!"
"Actually, you're only half right. The reason your sister agreed to get married so quickly is because she didn't want her household registration to be in our village and let others gossip about you."
"My sister is really overthinking it. I don't care about it at all."
"Yike, you don't care, but she does! I don't want others to say anything about you either. Although I don't care what others say, I still don't want others to say anything about you. I understand your sister's feelings. Besides, Ma Youcai is really good. In the eyes of others, he is an orphan with no one to rely on, but this is the best for your sister. After all, not everyone doesn't care that she has parents like that. And we and other brothers are their relatives. If something happens in the future, everyone will definitely help." Yike said helplessly: "We have to wait until they get married to cultivate their relationship."
"Ma Youcai likes your sister. Some people can tell at a glance whether they like someone or not. Your sister doesn't hate Ma Youcai either. This is better than marrying someone she doesn't like."
"But my sister is only seventeen. Isn't she too young?"
"Look at all the girls in the village who get married at the age of 16 or 17. Only girls in the city get married at the legal age of 18. As long as they don't have children so early, it's okay. I'll tell Ma Youcai about this, and you can talk to your sister too. Let's discuss what dowry to prepare for your sister. Let's not think about other things, okay?"
"Okay! But I'm really pressed for time. I need to go buy some red cloth and ask a tailor to make a wedding dress for my sister."
"I'll also make a set of groom's suit for Ma Youcai. Let's go together."
"Okay, in addition to clothing, there are also bedding and daily necessities..."
The two rode their bicycles to the department store to buy cloth, and then went to the tailor shop to ask the tailor to make clothes and quilts. In order to get the master to speed up the work, Ziyi added five yuan as a rush fee to the original price, and the master guaranteed to complete it within three days.
hey-hey! It really proves the saying that money makes the world go round.
In addition to clothes and bedding, Yike also went to the underground warehouse to select a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold bracelet. Although these things cannot be worn out, they can be hidden and worn later.
