He Zheng and Li Dong led people to parade through the streets.
It was the right time to go to work for the afternoon, and the ridges and roadsides were lined with villagers carrying tools.
This time, the two of them were dragged all the way from Ku Shui Village to Wai Shu Village, and they really made a fool of themselves.
"It's what I deserve! But I still feel unsatisfied!" When encountering such things, Su's mother really became more and more angry the more she thought about it.
Su Erhe did not respond to her mother's words. At this time, she was more worried about her elder brother Su Dongtian.
Knowing that the girl cared about him, Su Dongtian forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Fortunately, I found out early. If we got married..."
"It's good that you can look at it in a more positive way. It's not your fault. Don't feel disappointed. There are still many good girls." Village Chief He patted Su Dongtian's shoulder to comfort him. They were all men, and to be honest, such things were very discouraging.
"I know. She thinks I'm not as well off as Zhao Yang. Uncle Zhao works at the steel mill in the county. Zhao Yang can take over his job there. If Sun Hongying marries him, she won't have to work in the fields."
This is the most real situation at the moment.
Farmers work in the fields all year round. When there is no work in the fields, they have to dig canals, carry pond mud and build roads. At the end of the year, they can only get 70 or 80 yuan, grain and coupons. The grain is not enough to feed the family. Life is indeed hard.
It’s different when you become a worker. You can earn more than 30 yuan a month.
It is said that ambitious girls from the countryside all want to marry workers from the city.
Hearing Su Dongtian say this, Su Erhe instantly understood why Sun Hongying showed up today. The two of them did shameless things in broad daylight. This girl was completely desperate. In order to marry Zhao Yang, she threw away all her face and dignity.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. There's still a long way to go. The Zhao family is doing well today, and it might be our Su family's turn soon. When that happens, I'll find you a girl who's a thousand times better than Sun Hongying!"
What are you saying...
Not to mention that Su's mother didn't believe it, Su Dongtian didn't believe it either.
How can those who work in the fields compare with the workers in the factory? The Zhao family just has better conditions.
If Zhao Yang took over again, the matchmakers who came to propose marriage would be able to break into the Zhao family's door.
The Su family is far behind.
However, Su Dongtian was a good-natured person and didn't want to make the girl worry, so he followed her words and said, "Okay, I'll wait."
Su Erhe knew that they didn't believe him, so who would believe him?
If she had not traveled through time, looking at the dilapidated and backward countryside at that moment, she would not have believed how powerful the motherland would become in the future and how the people's living standards would continue to rise.
It was rare for the Zhao family to have a worker now, and soon the spring breeze of reform would blow everywhere.
That was an era when you could pick up money just by bending down.
Furthermore...
Whether Zhao Yang can take over this class is another matter!
Su Erhe had a plan in mind, but he was not in a hurry to say it.
This incident caused a lot of uproar and the Sun family lost all their face. As soon as He Zheng and Li Dong sent the person back to Waishu Village, Sun's parents came to the Su family to apologize.
That's not about making an apology. For raising such a shameless girl, her parents will also be scolded.
He Zheng asked Li Dong to go back and went to the Su family.
Li Dong is an outsider, but he is the son-in-law of this family. How could he sit idly by when his brother-in-law was bullied?
Besides, he hasn't held Su Erhe's hand yet.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I don't want to hear it either. Your daughter did such a shameless thing. Even if you kneel down and kowtow to me, I won't be able to calm down. The engagement is definitely invalid. The gifts you agreed to give and the things we took from your house in the past few months must be converted into money or notes and returned." Father Su sat in the main seat and spoke as the head of the family.
"Of course, I have to pay it back." Sun's father had a good attitude. He didn't seem to know that his daughter had done such a shameful thing.
"Take a hundred yuan," Su's mother also said, "fifty yuan for gifts, plus food and other miscellaneous things, to make it a round number."
"I feel the money is too little. Sun Hongying has let my brother down this time by doing such a shameless thing. She must compensate my brother for the harm he has suffered."
Su Erhe thought that it was better not to have such a woman, but she couldn't be too cheap to the Sun family.
According to the current situation, if the Sun family leaves their home, they should discuss the marriage with the Zhao family to prevent the Sun family from suffering a heavy loss. In this situation, Sun Hongying has taken full advantage.
"Well, what do you mean? How much compensation do you want?" Sun's father asked hesitantly.
Su Erhe said directly, "Three hundred."
This number shocked Su's father and mother. The girl really dared to speak up.
"What? This is too much. It doesn't even cost that much to marry a wife." The Sun family members all got their heads together, but they couldn't get more than 300 yuan in cash a year.
"Don't you want to give it to me?" He Zheng crossed his arms. "I heard that Sun Hongying has two younger sisters. Do you still want to find a partner in the future? I, He Zheng, am a man of my words. It's okay if you don't agree today. When your two girls propose marriage, I'll go to your house with a loud speaker and broadcast a message to you. If your elder sister isn't a good person, it's hard to say whether her two younger sisters will be affected!"
As soon as these words came out.
Sun's father and mother's faces turned pale.
The eldest daughter, Sun Hongying, can make the Zhao family responsible, but the two younger girls have a bad reputation. They can't just stay single and be old maids all their lives!
"But we really don't have that much money!" said Sun's father.
"If you don't have money, you can use something to pay for it. Food coupons, meat coupons, non-staple food coupons, industrial coupons, or even rice at home. Whatever you have, I said it's three hundred yuan, not a penny less!" He Zheng's tone, coupled with his burly figure, was really intimidating.
Sun's father and mother stared at him, trembling. They exchanged glances, then looked at Su's father and mother at the same time, asking in confusion, "Excuse me, who is this person?"
When did such a bully appear in the Su family?
"I'm He Zheng, the son-in-law of this family!" He said, striding over to the two of them, bending down, and leaning closer. "See clearly? I, He Zheng, took these three hundred yuan from you today. It has nothing to do with this family. If you have any complaints, come to me!"
This man is young, but he is clearly a tough guy.
Mother Sun tugged at Father Sun's sleeve and said, "Otherwise, just give in."
Father Sun was really at his wit's end. "Well, three hundred is three hundred, but we need time to collect it."
"No problem, I'm not a domineering person. I'll give you one day. If you don't send the money tomorrow, I'll go to your house and take it!"
"One, one day," Sun's father thought they would have at least three days.
"You think it's too much?" He Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"No, not much, not much."
The two of them discussed it privately, agreed on one day, and then left quickly, as if they were afraid that they would be eaten alive if they ran too slowly.
He Zheng even sent them outside and said, "I'll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow!"
Let’s talk about the house.
Everyone in the Su family was stunned.
so……
Is that okay?
As if they had agreed on it, the whole family looked at Suerhe in unison.
no!
Why are you looking at me?
Su Erhe stepped back, feeling something was wrong, as if he had stepped on something.
