Zhao Dawen was really afraid that these rumors would spread and affect his performance in school. If he lost this job, his two sons would have to pay for their own tuition in the future, and every penny would cost a lot of money.
"Master, if we buy a house, we will have no money." Wang was a little conflicted. In fact, she thought that renting a house was still a good idea. At least she would have some spare money and would not be short of money when the family had children.
If you need to sell your house for money, you might end up losing money.
"What do you mean? Are you not going to move out?"
"Move." She couldn't live here any longer. "What I mean is, should we continue to rent a house?"
Zhao Dawen calculated the cost seriously, "Renting a house is not cost-effective. If we rent a better house with a well, it will cost at least ten taels of silver per sq. ft., and it may not be enough. Ten sq. ft. may cost more than a hundred taels and we will just give it away."
"You can't buy anything good if you buy it." Wang was in a difficult situation. The head of the family was right. In fact, neither renting nor buying is cost-effective. If they had two hundred taels more, they would have much more room to maneuver.
"Didn't you say you were going to sell the land? If we sell the land, we'll get a few dozen taels. Add my money and we can probably get by. We can use the money the Qian family gives us to buy a house."
"Okay, I'm still very satisfied with the one hundred and ten taels house I saw last time." It can't be compared with the past, but it's still pretty good. The yard is clean and there is a well in the yard. The whole house has about ten blue brick and tile houses.
"I also think that place is suitable. It is close to the school and there is a vegetable stall nearby. It is convenient for our whole family."
"Then go and bargain again?"
"Can."
“Brother!”
Oh my god, what a rare guest! He thought that the people in the old house would never associate with them again.
"Brother, come in and sit down. What do you want to do?"
Zhao Dayong didn't want to go in and sit down at all. He just wanted to finish his talk and leave.
Wang went into the kitchen and poured a bowl of warm water.
"What's up, Mom and Dad?" Neither of the brothers had any intention of greeting each other. Being straightforward was most suitable for their current relationship.
"Zhao Di will be engaged at the beginning of next month, so please come early, brother and sister-in-law."
Wang dropped the bowl of cold water she was holding...
Zhao Dawen's face also looked unhappy. Were they sure they were here to announce the good news and not to annoy them? Knowing that his daughter was the old man's concubine, he still wanted them to attend his daughter's wedding. He didn't want to!
"Dad said Zhaodi is getting engaged. If I don't come, people will gossip about me. Then..."
Zhao Dawen's face turned even darker. He understood what Zhao Dayong meant. If Ru Xin's secrets were revealed, he would never be able to return to the village again.
"Got it. Congratulations, brother. Your sister-in-law and I will go." They had to go just to save face.
Zhao Dayong didn't expect that the couple would react so strongly to her daughter's engagement. No, didn't you send your daughter off home with your own hands?
Wang hurriedly squatted down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, but accidentally cut her hand with them. She squatted in a daze, and the broken feeling on her face made Zhao Dayong unable to sit still. His daughter was just marrying someone, but why did his sister-in-law act like the sky had fallen?
"Brother, I'll just pass on the message to you."
"Would you like to sit for a while?"
"There is still a lot of work to do at home, and it will take a long time to go there."
Zhao Dawen saw the person off to the door before turning around. When he reached the door of the main hall, he saw Wang squatting at the door crying.
He also felt quite uncomfortable and didn't know whether he regretted letting his daughter go to the Qian family.
"Come on, stop crying. What's the point of being sad when you're already angry? Just wash your wounds and I'll clean up the broken pieces."
"Master, our Ruxin has never been engaged, and she has never worn a red dress, but she was ruined by an old immortal."
"Don't think about these empty things. Zhaodi has these things, but she still works in the fields every day after she got married. Our Ruxin is not a homebody, she eats well, dresses well, and has someone to serve her when she goes out. I don't know how comfortable it is."
"But she can't leave the house."
"You get what you want, that's how people are. If you want this, you have to give up that. It depends on which one you really want. She gave up her freedom in exchange for a life of prosperity. So what if Zhaodi has freedom? Where can she go? Even going to the county town is difficult, and buying things is even more difficult, she would rather break a penny into two halves.
I tell you, Ruxin absolutely can't stand that kind of life. ”
Wang didn't feel so bad anymore. Indeed, Zhaodi's marriage was just for the glory of her engagement. Who knows how hard it would be in the future. She would do housework and farm work all her life, either at home or in the fields. Although her Ruxin didn't get married in glory, she lived a carefree and comfortable life.
"You're right, I was distracted for a moment."
"Zhao Di is engaged. Let's go and see what kind of family she has found. The betrothal gift is definitely less than a tael of silver. It's very shabby."
"Okay, let's go and see it together." Wang wiped away her tears, "What do you think of our Ruxin now?"
“It’s very good.”
