Chapter 125: Bride Price
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Biguang took Yang Caiping to his home for the New Year.
Although Yang Caiping doesn't like Wang Biguang, she likes the advanced material enjoyment of the Wang family, and only these can soothe her despair and unwillingness to life and the future.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard bursts of laughter from inside the house.
In the bustling crowd of people, she saw at a glance a man in a dark gray woolen coat, his posture was long, his face was white, his expression was full of grace and luxury, and his talent was very outstanding.
He stood there, standing out from the crowd.
He was smiling at her.
Yang Caiping only felt that his heart was beating faster, his hands and feet were at a loss, and he felt like he was going to faint.
Wang Biguang next to her introduced: "This is my brother-in-law Su Xiuqian, who is now teaching at the school. ”
Yang Caiping suddenly realized, it turned out that this was Su Xiuqian, the God of Wealth of the Wang family, the richest man in a hundred miles, no wonder he had a unique all-round style.
She looked enviously at Wang Xuemei, who was held in the palm of her hand by the Wang family.
I thought how lucky this woman was, she married into the poor Su family in such a desperate situation, but in just ten years, she got into such a prominent position now, and she also took her mother's chicken dog to heaven.
The Wang family's New Year's dinner is naturally rich, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and climbing on the ground.
When Yang Caiping went back, he not only carried a big bag of food, but also carried a thick stack of New Year's money.
Among them, Ji Manye and his wife gave 100 yuan per person, Su Xiuqian and his wife gave 100 yuan per person, and Wang Biwen and his wife also gave 50 yuan each, a total of 500 yuan in red envelopes, which stunned Yang Caiping and her parents.
Father Yang sighed: "The Wang family is really rich. ”
Mother Yang sighed: "The gentleman who told the fortune of the color screen back then was really powerful, he said that our color screen is a rich life, and now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, color screen, you will enjoy the days of happiness in the future, but don't forget your mother's family." ”
Father Yang also smiled and said to his daughter: "When you marry into the Wang family, remember to bring your two brothers, your sister is very good, you know how to build such a magnificent house for your mother's brother, you have to learn a little, not to mention building such a magnificent house for your two brothers, it is not bad to turn over two red brick houses." ”
Yang Caiping's heart was stumped, and he couldn't speak anymore.
She knows how poor the family is, her father is right, she works overtime every month to make money, after all, she can't solve the situation at home, her brother is old, he has never been able to marry a wife, not because the family has not built a house, and he can't get the bride price.
Her most heartache is her grandparents, their health is not good, let alone treatment, even there is no place to live.
Grandparents now sleep in the pig pen house, sleeping with three pigs, and sleeping with bricks on the door panel, the old couple is smelly all day long, and they are bitten by mosquitoes in summer, and their ears are bitten by rats in winter.
Every time Yang Caiping came back, he didn't dare to go into the place where his grandparents were sleeping to take a look, and he felt uncomfortable once he saw it.
She also wanted to build a new house, so that everyone in the family had a room to sleep in, and she didn't want to be crammed into a bedroom with her parents anymore, let alone let her elderly grandparents sleep in a pigpen house.
But her desperate efforts to make money are still out of reach of building a new house.
If it is true that selling her can change the fate of the family, then sell her.
After the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qiao's sister-in-law was in full swing to help the two families move around, and finally agreed that the parents of both sides would meet for an agreed meal on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.
It's just that the Yang family agreed to the marriage of the Wang family while making a request, they asked for a bride price of 5,000 yuan, and there was no dowry.
When Aunt Ji Man heard the news, she couldn't come back to her senses for half a sound.
"Didn't their family sell their daughter?"
Qiao's sister-in-law's face was astringent, this was the first time she had met a shameless woman since she was a matchmaker, other people's families are selling their daughters, and they won't be so obvious, there will be some dowry, the Yang family is good, and they don't even plan to give a veil, so they really don't want any face.
This gift money is undoubtedly quite high, and other people's families will stop at 1,23 when they marry a wife, but the Yang family proposes to ask for 5,000, what is the concept of 5,000? In the countryside, you can build a big red brick house.
Aunt Ji Man couldn't take out this money, and she was a little aggrieved in her heart.
But Wang Biguang wanted to marry Yang Caiping, but when his parents didn't agree, he even went on a hunger strike.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Aunt Jiman couldn't hold her son, so she had to let her daughter go home once.
Wang Biguang, who had been hungry for three or four days, was lying on the bed with weakness and his cheeks sunken in, and the mother and daughter were discussing downstairs.
"Xuemei, this time you help your mother's family again, and when his marriage is over, he won't drag you down anymore."
Wang Xuemei felt that her mother's words were a bit premature, and this younger brother was afraid that he would not stop, but now he was determined to marry a girl from the Yang family, and even resorted to the trick of hunger strike, which showed that he was heartbroken.
She also wanted him to be happy, but she didn't know if her eldest daughter was willing to pay for the money, so she was a little annoyed.
Wang Xuemei finally felt sorry for her brother, so she quietly found Su Qingtong and said, "Why don't you help your uncle one last time?" ”
Su Qingtong looked at his mother's cautious appearance, so he had to sigh and say, "Then help him one last time." ”
"After your fourth uncle gets married, he will separate from your grandmother and grandfather, and we don't need to worry about their affairs anymore."
"It's good if you're happy, and I hope the days ahead are safe and smooth."
It's not that she feels sorry for this money, but she just feels that her uncle stretches out his hand to ask for money too naturally, as if he must give it to his sister and brother-in-law.
The Yang family was anxious to ask for money to build a house, and when they saw that the Wang family agreed to his conditions, they proposed that they didn't need to eat the agreed meal, and asked their daughter to follow Wang Biguang to the township government to get a marriage certificate.
It is to save a sum of money for the Wang family, and it can be regarded as a great joy.
Yang's father sat in the room with his wife and son, counting the thick stack of banknotes, and his mouth couldn't close.
Mother Yang was overjoyed, and sighed faintly: "The Wang family is good at everything, but Wang Biguang's height is a little shorter." ”
Father Yang glanced at his indifferent daughter next to him and said, "She thinks she is Yang Guifei, can she look down on her if she has a good family background and looks good?" If she wants to find something like that, it is better to reincarnate again. ”
Mother Yang was speechless for an instant.
originally thought that this matter was settled like this, but who knew that when Wang Biguang went to Yang's house to find Yang Caiping and went to the township government to get a marriage certificate, there was another moth.
It turned out that Yang's father proposed to add another 3,000 to let his daughter marry him.
Aunt Ji Man was so angry that she almost fell ill when she heard this, and threatened to quit this family business: "His family's is a golden pimple, and our family doesn't want it anymore, and it is a joke that people who talk like this don't count, and they will become relatives in the future." ”
Wang Biguang was also silent and did not speak, last time he asked his sister to take the 5,000 yuan, but his sister warned him that she gave him money for the last time, but this time it was only a little difficult.
I was secretly annoyed by the Yang family in my heart, if you want eight thousand, you can say eight thousand in one breath, why do you add money when you are at the end of the day, isn't this a pit for him.
When the two families were in a lawsuit, Su Qingtong had already started school.
This is her last semester of junior high school, and she will be in high school in the second half of the year.
When the principal made a mobilization report, he said: "Do you want to face the loess with your back to the sky and have no interest for a lifetime, or do you want to sit in the office and give orders, and have enough food and clothing? This semester is your last hope, grit your teeth, and you will become a master. ”
The usually lazy students actually acted decently, but the heat only lasted for a short time, what is usual, what is still the same now, and even there are students who break the jar just to mix a beginner's Chinese certificate.
