Chapter 151 The Dowry Money is a Piece of Cake
Zhong Tongxin was the first to react: "Ziyi, you mean that sister Yike's dowry was not paid by you, but by Yike's own money." "Yes, Yike has her own money." Ziyi added in his mind: "Yike is the richest person in the mountains, because everything in the mountains is done according to Yike's suggestions. Those methods and techniques are all taught by Yike, so Yike gets the most when the money is divided."
Zhong Tongxin and Liu Baoer stared at Yike. His aunt came in and held Yike's hand and said, "Why didn't you tell us, kid? Your uncle and I have been worried about this for the past two days, afraid that you would be blamed by your parents-in-law when you go home. Before going to bed last night, your uncle and I packed up all the money we collected from the wedding yesterday, a total of 30 yuan, and planned to secretly keep it when we leave today to help with the family dolls. This way, we will spend less money and your parents-in-law will blame us less."
"Yes, sister Yike, look, this is what my mother wrapped up and prepared to keep for us to use as a supplement. You are such a naughty sister, you made us worry so much." Liu Baoer took out a handkerchief from under the pillow on Yike's bed, opened it and showed it to Yike.
I saw that there were only five ten-yuan bills in it. I wonder when Liu Baoer put the money in?
Liu Baoer felt a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Just when you were scolded by my mother just now." Liu Baoer felt a little embarrassed.
Yi Ke was a little speechless. It turned out that the mother and daughter were just acting. The mother scolded her so that she was embarrassed to look up, and the daughter made it easier for her to hide things.
"Don't look at her. This was my idea. You wouldn't accept it if I gave it to you, so I had to resort to this last resort." Zhong Tongxin saw Liu Baoer looking at her and knew what she was thinking.
"Aunt, Aunt Zhong, I know you are all doing this for my own good. I am really touched." Yike took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued, "Aunt, I know your family situation best. There is not much money at home except for food, and you and uncle are willing to leave so much money to help me, just so that I won't be scolded by my in-laws. I am really touched. From now on, you will be my in-laws, the kind that is dear to me."
The eldest aunt nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Okay, that's good. I was afraid that you would abandon us after you recognized your biological mother. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. How can I bear to stop communicating with you in the future?"
"No, besides, Xiaohong is my good sister."
"What about us? What about us? Cousin, you can't be partial to others?" Liu Baoshan interrupted them anxiously.
"How am I biased? Don't you call me cousin?" Yi Ke said jokingly.
"Don't you want to call me cousin? Oh, sometimes I call you sister, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Liu Baoer's careless character was revealed again.
"Stupid! You called Yike your cousin, and she didn't object, which means she recognized you as her cousin. Not the kind of sister in godly terms, but a biological sister." Zhong Tongxin criticized Liu Baoer, and then asked cautiously, "Yike, am I right in understanding this?"
"Aunt, that's what you think." Yike let go of her aunt's hand, took Zhong Tongxin's hand and said, "Aunt, I've decided. I'll meet my real mother. If she's as good as you, I'll recognize her."
Zhong Tong cried with joy: "Don't worry, your mother is a very kind person, you will definitely like her. She didn't know you were still alive at first, because she gave birth to twins. The conditions were difficult at the time, and she fell into a coma after giving birth. After waking up, she found that the baby was dead. She was too sad at the time and forgot to check whether the dead baby had a birthmark. So she always thought you were dead. Your father didn't want anyone to ask about the twins, so he announced to the public that he only had one. If you didn't look so much like Xin'er, we wouldn't have asked. God bless you, you are still alive."
Zhong Tongxin paused and said, "Your mother has always been in poor health. After giving birth, the doctor said she had postpartum depression. It turned out to be caused by sadness. Poor little sister, poor Yike."
Zhong Tongxin started sobbing as she spoke, feeling so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Originally, they were talking about their mother's sad story, and she should have felt the same sadness, but Yi Ke didn't know her mother, so she couldn't sympathize with her and didn't know what words of comfort to say. At this moment, her uncle appeared and rescued her.
Uncle shouted at the door: "Yike, are you ready? Do you want to set off?"
"It will be ready soon." Ziyi replied.
Yike said to Zhong Tongxin, "Don't be sad, auntie. Look, I'm fine. If she sees me, she'll be happy and she'll get better. How about you and your cousin stay here for a few more days?"
"No, we all asked for leave, and it's not good to be away for too long." Xin Tongxin felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then Ziyi and I will take you to the station." Yike said and was about to go out.
"Well, wait a minute, the money your sister used to buy her dowry was really yours. It wasn't his money." Zhong Tongxin nodded at Ziyi who was leaving.
"No, it's all mine. He wanted me to use his money, but I refused. It's my sister's, not his. Why shouldn't he use my money?"
"They are doing this for your own good, so don't be ungrateful. But where did you get the money? You ran away from Yang Huaihua's house with nothing," asked the aunt in confusion.
"I found a fruit forest in the mountains. I picked fruits and made them into dried fruits and canned fruits. I made money from selling the canned fruits." Yi Ke revealed a little. "You made that canned fruit! It's so valuable, no wonder my cousin is so rich." Liu Baoer worked as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Naturally, she knew that canned fruit was not only expensive but also difficult to obtain. Now that I know the source of the goods, I quickly said, "Cousin, since the canned fruit is yours, can you give priority to our supply and marketing cooperative? In this way, I will have made a contribution, and I heard there will be a bonus."
"No problem, I'll let Brother Tang contact you then." Yi Ke agreed, and then said to his aunt, "Aunt, will there be less work to do after the autumn harvest?"
"Yes, you forgot that after the autumn harvest, there is not much work to do for everyone throughout the winter. Those with connections go out to work, and those without connections stay at home hungry during the winter." The aunt-in-law thought of the men in her family who ate a lot and had strength to work, so they could get high work points. However, after the autumn harvest, there was no work to do for the whole winter, and the family was poor. Thinking that the family could not even take out 20 or 30 yuan, her tone was a little depressed.
"Well, if my uncle and cousins are at ease, they can come to me after the autumn harvest. I will have work for them, and they can earn at least more than 30 yuan a month." Yi Ke said.
My aunt-in-law was stunned and didn't react. Haha, she was so happy.
