The noise outside made Gu Qingning unable to sleep. She wanted to see how big the Lu family's guest was that he started shouting so early in the morning.
Gu Qingning washed up in her own small yard before going out.
At this time, the main hall of the Lu family was very lively. Old Mrs. Lu and an aunt were sitting there. The aunt with a mean look on her face was arrogant and obviously looked down on others.
However, the people of the Lu family were very flattering.
"Aunt Zhou, don't worry. My daughter is a good worker. If she marries into your family, you will enjoy happiness in advance. She is virtuous and well-behaved. There is no other such person in the surrounding villages. She has also graduated from high school. With these conditions, she is also the best."
Old Mrs. Lu also has some insight. Only when a woman packages herself well can she have the opportunity to choose a man.
She wanted her daughter to marry well and was willing to spend a lot of money. After all, only when Lu Xue was well could she help the family and her third son.
At least 80 percent of the women in the village are not as intellectually advanced as she is.
Aunt Zhou looked at the Lu family with a look of dissatisfaction. They were just a group of country folk who didn't even have a decent house and lived together as a family. Didn't they want to help their family out of poverty?
Aunt Zhou is also an old employee of the factory and the director of women's affairs. Even if she doesn't like him, she didn't say it too bluntly. "I don't care about the other party's family background when choosing a daughter-in-law. The only thing she needs is obedience. My son has been spoiled since he was a child. I don't want to marry someone with a bad temper and let him coax me. My family can't afford such an ancestor."
Men are women's heaven. After all, the family depends on men to continue the family line. How can women be compared with men?
Aunt Zhou still has deep-rooted feudal ideas.
If Lu Xue hadn't used some tricks to get pregnant, and it was a son, who could continue the Zhou family's bloodline, she wouldn't even look at Lu Xue even if she died. There are too many women like her.
It's just that my son is too stupid and is being controlled by such a woman. Now there is no way out and I can only negotiate the conditions first.
Old Mrs. Lu's face was not very happy. She was treating her daughter as a maid. But the Zhou family was well-off and the sisters could help Zhou Jianjun. This was the best condition for Lu Xue to marry.
"Sister Zhou, look at what you said. We are all from the countryside and we are honest. I won't tell you those empty words. My daughter is not a bad person. If you are short of 500 yuan for the betrothal gift, I think this marriage is impossible."
Old Mrs. Lu revealed her true colors directly. After all, marrying off a daughter is for money. If she doesn't agree on the betrothal gift now, will someone take advantage of it and give it away for free in the future?
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou snorted coldly, "Sister Lu, there are some things you haven't understood yet. Why don't you talk to your daughter about it when you have time? I think it's necessary. Five hundred yuan? There's no such price anywhere within a ten-mile radius. My family can't afford it. I've come here in person to give your family face. Do you think we, the Zhou family, are fools?"
Five hundred yuan is enough to sell five wives. She is not rich or noble, and he wants to take advantage of her. He doesn't even look at who he is. She is mistaken. It is impossible.
When Lu Xue heard this, her face turned pale. She was afraid that Aunt Zhou would reveal her private affairs, so she tried to smooth things over by saying, "Mom, let's not talk about this for now. The Zhou family came here just to get to know each other. Jianjun and I are truly in love. You can't make things difficult for the Zhou family. You are my mother."
Lu Xue looked pitiful. If this marriage was really called off, she would have no chance of survival. For Zhou Jianjun, she was risking everything.
Zhou Jianjun was also very anxious, "Aunt, I really want to marry Lu Xue, can you please tell me if I can..."
Five hundred yuan is enough to buy a job. The family does have some spare money, but there is no way his mother would take it out.
Old Mrs. Lu was also very proud. She thought that now they were asking for help from others. If someone wanted to marry her daughter but was unwilling to spend a penny, there would be no such good thing.
"I don't care. If there's not 500 yuan today, I won't agree. Anyway, there are plenty of people who want my daughter."
Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she bumped into Gu Qingning who was coming towards her angrily.
The moment Old Lady Lu saw Gu Qingning, she became as timid as a quail.
Aunt Zhou, on the other hand, squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Qingning. Gu Qingning had a fierce aura and it was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. The Lu family was indeed full of hidden talents.
Aunt Zhou had been the director of women's affairs her entire life and was very understanding of people. She stood up with a smile on her face and said politely, "What's your name, comrade? He's so handsome!"
The Lu family’s genes are very average and they can’t give birth to such a high-quality child. It must be the daughter-in-law or a relative.
If she really is the daughter-in-law, this girl will be fed up with it. It is obvious that the Lu family has a bad background and is very difficult to deal with.
Gu Qingning looked at her familiarity with a cold look: "So who are you!"
She didn't want to show any respect to the Lu family's guests and waste their time.
Being bullied like this was the first time for Aunt Zhou, and her face immediately turned bad. "What's wrong with you? We are Lu Xue's in-laws. As her sister-in-law, your attitude is too bad."
No wonder she looked down on him. The Lu family’s family tradition was not good. Poor her son.
Gu Qingning looked at the arrogant person, who was even more domineering than her. "It's none of your business to judge me, but you, why are you barking like a dog? Don't you know what it means to be low-key when you go door to door? Your upbringing is really not that good, so what? You come here and I can open up to you, what are you thinking?"
What a joke! As expected, Lu Xue found someone as weird as her, with such a mean look on his face. Don’t even think about having a good life in the future.
You can control the heavens and the earth, but you cannot control yourself.
Zhou Jianjun has never taken his eyes off Gu Qingning since she appeared. Compared to her previous immaturity, Gu Qingning is now more mature and has more charm. But with such good conditions, why can't she decide to marry that rough guy?
The rough guy doesn't know how to be caring at all, and he is illiterate. He can only dig for food in the fields in the future. Gu Qingning deserves to be blind and ruin his life.
How could Aunt Zhou not understand what her son meant? She looked at Gu Qingning with an increasingly critical look.
It's obvious that she is a vixen, flirting with other men and even not letting her own son go.
"Hey, young comrade, aren't you being too arrogant? Do you know who I am? Don't say anything you'll regret." She had some status in the county, so Aunt Zhou was naturally proud.
Gu Qingning scoffed with disdain, "Aren't you just sick? You ask me, who should I ask? You're not even at the stage of Alzheimer's, yet you still ask such a foolish question. How can a factory not be picky? How can you serve the people like this? It really opens my eyes."
When it comes to talking skills, few people can compare to Gu Qingning.
