Chapter 148: Gift Money
Although they experienced small twists and turns at the wedding, Jiang Meimei and Hele had to quarrel a few words about Liu Yiyi and Ni Yunlang. But for Aunt Li's family, getting married to Le is generally a great joy. The family was very busy, and even Wen Jun, who was the most discordant with Hele, was also very supportive, and rushed over to help clean up the new house.
After He Le got married, he lived on Aunt Li's side first, anyway, the house was enough to live in, and Aunt Li felt sorry for her old son, so she was reluctant to divide him out so quickly. Jiang Meimei didn't want to live with the old man. But Hele's small house has not been renovated, Aunt Li means that if Jiang Meimei's family can't pay for this decoration, they will pay for it themselves, and she doesn't care anyway. Because Heshun and Heping were renovated at their own expense.
Jiang Meimei was naturally reluctant to pay, so she discussed with Hele and asked him to borrow money from Aunt Li for decoration first, and then pay it back when he had the money later. If it had been before, Aunt Li might have really agreed. But now that she has Jiang Meimei, she is not happy to let her daughter-in-law get this advantage anyway. In the end, she couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubble of Hele, so Aunt Li agreed to pay, but the condition was that the house was only simple and rented out immediately after installation, and the rent was given to Aunt Li, until the decoration cost was paid off, and the right to use could be re-owned by the young couple. It doesn't matter if you are happy, anyway, you just have a place to live, and it is more comfortable next to your mother. Although Jiang Meimei was unhappy, she couldn't find a reason to shirk it. Therefore, the new house was finally set at Aunt Li's house.
The family added Ding imports, and Aunt Li and her family are still happy. Liu Mei was a little worried, when she and Wen Jun cleaned up the new house together, she couldn't help but say to Wen Jun: "I think this Jiang Meimei is only afraid that it is not so good." My temperament, you know, is soft-faced and soft, alas, I really don't know if I can get along with her in the future. ”
Wen Jun said: "Your temperament can get along well with anyone." The question is whether you yourself will be uncomfortable. If you catch up with a good character, it is good to combine the two good, and if you catch up with a bad one, you can only be angry. ”
Liu Mei sighed and said, "That's it." That's why I'm a little worried. ”
Wen Jun put down the work in his hand, grabbed Liu Mei's hand and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law." If you want me to say, now that you have a new daughter-in-law at home, you can just move out by yourself. Live your own life, you don't have to look at other people's faces. How wonderful. ”
Liu Mei looked at Wen Jun gratefully and said, "I know, I want to too." But your eldest brother ...... Alas. ”
Wen Jun cheered her up and said, "We women don't do anything less than men, why do we listen to them for everything?" Sister-in-law, you just have to be tough and see what he can do! ”
Liu Mei nodded and said, "Let me think about it." Sooner or later, I'm definitely going to move out. ”
Set up the room. Wen Jun patted his body and was about to go out, but Liu Mei couldn't help but look back and take a closer look. Wen Jun couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Sister-in-law, you are too careful, and it is not your girl's new house, so it's almost there." ”
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "I'm not...... Alas, you see everything in this room, everything is the latest and greatest, I just look at it and like it. When I got married to your eldest brother...... Only one set of bedding was new, or it was sent by my mother's family. ”
Wen Jun was a little angry when he heard this, but said, "Sister-in-law, you are too bearable." I was married in my mother's family. His family didn't want to come up with anything, and I said at the time, it's okay to come up with nothing, take the money. Otherwise, break up! The old lady honestly paid 10,000 yuan to come out. ”
Liu Mei smiled bitterly: "Don't forget, how much dowry your family gave at that time." Besides, you didn't name that little house in peace. After I got the certificate at that time, their family bought a house, so the house has my name on it. My family's conditions are not good, and the money saved by my parents is kept for my younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law. I have a relatively small number of escorts. Therefore, our mother thinks that I am cheap, so naturally ...... Alas, at that time, the old couple came up with a down payment for three houses at once. It's true that there is no money left. I don't complain about anything, but I think it's really good to see Hele's new house. People, marriage is only once in a lifetime, such a comparison, I feel a little regretful in my heart. ”
Wen Jun's eyes were a little sour by what she said, and she couldn't help but hold Liu Mei and persuade: "No regrets." Wait until you move out. Arrange your own house according to the new house, and choose the most expensive and the best for everything. Good compensation compensation! ”
Liu Mei listened to Wen Jun's words, a spark of hope flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and nodded. Dragged Wen Jun to her room to say a confidant.
After the wedding, Jiang Meimei officially moved into her in-law's house. That night, the young couple counted money against a pile of red envelopes. Hele opened the red envelope while reporting the bill. Jiang Meimei put a calculator on her left hand, and held a pen and notebook in her right hand. He Le said a copy, and she wrote down the name and amount in the notebook, and then added a stroke to the calculator. When the red envelope is opened, the accounts are all recorded, and the money is calculated. Check the amount on the calculator with the total amount of money, and the red envelope will be counted.
Jiang Meimei was a little depressed at the pile of tickets, and the red envelopes were a lot less than she expected! "Why so little?" Jiang Meimei opened her mouth and complained, "I seem to have a lot of relatives and friends in your family, why are there only a few red envelopes." ”
He Le thought about it, patted his head, and took out two big red envelopes from his bag, each with several thousand.
Jiang Meimei was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly grabbed it and asked, "Where did this come from?" Why so many? ”
He Le smiled and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother gave it." In addition to the gift money given by relatives and friends, Heshun and Heping also gave Hele a big red envelope each, usually talking about it, making trouble, really to get married, the two brothers are still very willing to contribute money and effort to Hele.
Jiang Meimei counted it, wrote it in the notebook, and calculated it on the calculator. Then he frowned and said, "No, there are more relatives and friends in your family than in my family, why is the money less than mine?" ”
He Le said helplessly: "That's a lot, it's a few of my classmates, buddies, and colleagues, it's good to be able to get together so much." ”
"What do you mean? What about your parents' relatives, friends, and colleagues? Jiang Meimei immediately sensed the problem in Hele's words.
He Le lowered his head and said, "The person in charge didn't tell you?" My mom took it all. She said that these favors will be repaid by them in the future, so they have to collect the money. I'm still saying that I'm still a favor, so I can say that I want to come. ”
Jiang Meimei raised her eyebrows and said, "What is this?" My family's favor is not an old man? Your mother wants to go crazy about money! ”
Hele said a little stiffly: "You are the only one in your family, it's not all yours sooner or later, isn't it the same if you keep it or your parents keep it?" My family is not brothers. ”
Jiang Meimei said sharply: "It's because you have so many brothers that we should all keep it ourselves." This is the wedding gift that people give us, don't you come over, who knows who will be cheaper in the future? ”
It makes sense for Hele to think about it, the little couple summed it up, and the next morning, Hele lame into Aunt Li's room. (To be continued.) )
