Shi Miao lowered her head and chewed the steamed bun in her mouth, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the tears that were about to come out.

"Brother, you go to a technical school, won't it take me a while to go to college, and I'll talk about it then." She didn't want her brother to be so poor in this life.

"It's not about tuition, I just don't want to go to school, I'll go to business after the New Year, you don't care."

My brother's words were very impatient, and my father slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Look at what you look like now, you are not home every day, and you are running around like a blind stream."

You still want to do business, do you know how to do business? Do you have the capital? I'll tell you, if you have money to go to school, you don't have money to do anything else. ”

"I didn't want to take money from home." The elder brother stiffened his neck, stubborn like a cow.

"Okay, I'll see what you can do." Dad angrily picked up the chopsticks and slapped them on the table.

Ning Yueping glared at Shi Feng, put the chopsticks in Changdong's hand and said, "Okay, eat first, and we'll talk about this later." ”

Chang Dong snorted and ate with his head bored, but before he could eat two bites, someone from the family came.

"Er, what are you eating?"

Hearing the voice, Shi Miao turned her head and saw that it was her patriarchal grandmother and uncle.

Seeing them coming, Ning Yueping hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten it, let's eat it together. ”

Shi Miao got up and took three stools. Grandma Shi was thin and thin, sitting on crutches and posing as the head of the family. Uncle Chang Lin looked honest, and smiled innocently at Chang Dong and Ning Yueping before sitting down.

The eldest aunt Wu Cuizhi, without the bitterness of the past, said to Shi Miao with a smile: "Miaomiao is really getting longer and more spiritual, I don't think I can pick one out of ten miles and eight villages, better than our Miaomiao." ”

For her compliment, Shi Miao smiled faintly in response. Her aunt used to be called by dead girls.

Grandma Shi lowered her drooping eyelids, glanced at the dishes on the table, saw that it was cabbage and tofu, and said with disgust on her face: "After eating, I came here to tell you something." ”

Shi Miao's family didn't say anything, and when they saw the posture of the three of them, they knew that what they said was not a good thing. Sure enough, I heard her say: "Daqiang is going to get married, you can do something to be the second uncle and second aunt." ”

This mouth is asking for money!

Shi Miao thought about it, and in his previous life, Brother Shi Qiang seemed to be the pro set this year. In the previous life, it was also because of this bride price that my grandmother had a big fight with their family.

"Daqiang gets married, we do have to give gifts, let's go with 100 yuan." After Chang Dong finished speaking, Ning Yueping got up to get the money. As an uncle, the nephew's wedding with 100 yuan is already a lot. Nowadays, many families pay ten or twenty yuan as gifts.

But apparently Grandma Shi didn't think so, she snorted and said, "What? Just 100 bucks? Think of us as begging for food? Do you know how much other people's bride price is now? Three or four thousand. I don't need you to pay more, 3,000 yuan, you take 3,000 yuan. ”

Grandma Shi glanced at Chang Dong and Ning Yueping, as if to say, let you take 3,000 yuan to take care of you.

Shi Miao was almost angry, his father only had a salary of more than 200 yuan a month, and she asked for 3,000 yuan when she opened her mouth, where did she get such a big face?

Ning Yueping gasped for breath, but this kind of thing is better to let Chang Dong, who is her son, come forward, otherwise, if she says a word, Grandma Shi can point to her nose and scold.

"Mother, you should know very well how much money I earn a month, where do I have money? Give a hundred dollars as a gift, and I'll have to save money for a long time. Chang Dong directly refused.

He is a good filial son, but he is not stupid. If he has tens of thousands of yuan in his hand, it is no problem to take out a few thousand yuan for his nephew to marry a daughter-in-law. But he has no money, and the money he has for his children to go to school is still saved by saving food and food for many years.

There is no way he will not let his children go to school for the sake of his nephew's wife.

When Grandma Shi heard that Chang Dong didn't give money, she stood up and knocked on the ground with a stick, "Okay, it's not good to fool my old ears, right, I just heard you talk about tuition fees and money." ”

"Mother, I have a little money in my hand, but it is what I have saved for many years for my children to go to school. Miaomiao will be admitted to university next year, and the money will be used. ”

"What kind of college did she go to with a girl? If you want me to say, she should go home to work after graduating from junior high school, and you still let her go to high school, and now she has to go to college, why doesn't she go to heaven? ”

Grandma Shi's crutches slammed on the ground, and Shi Miao felt that if she could, she would definitely want to knock on her. In her grandmother's mind, her grandson is a treasure, and her granddaughter is not even grass.

Ning Yueping couldn't help it anymore when she heard Grandma Shi say this, she stepped forward and said, "Mother, if you remember correctly, we have already separated." The eldest brother's children are going to get married, and there is no reason for us to pay for him to marry a daughter-in-law. Besides, my daughter, I can raise her as much as I want, she just wants to go to heaven, and I will also find a way to get her a ladder. ”

Shi Miao almost wanted to applaud her mother, this was too domineering.

"You, you, you... Oh, I'm not alive, I'm not alive, my daughter-in-law pointed at my nose and scolded...."Grandma threw her crutches and cried with her hands exaggeratedly. She knew that she was at a loss, and she began to spill.

Shi Miao rolled her eyes, her grandmother was the best at this, crying, making trouble and hanging herself. She dared to promise that if her father did not agree to take the money today, she would definitely "force her to die".

She walked to Ning Yueping's side and pulled her out. If she let her grandmother continue to make trouble like this, they will definitely suffer in the end.

After all, grandma is her father's mother-in-law, and an unfilial piety can make people point fingers at his father. Dad is also a teacher, so he should pay more attention to his image.

The only solution now is to get the matter out there and let everyone in the village know about it. Looking at the grandmother and uncle's family, and whether they have the face to say in front of the people in the village, that their family should give money to Shi Qiang to marry his daughter-in-law.

Ning Yueping knew what her daughter meant, took a deep breath, strode out, and said loudly: "Today, I will let everyone comment on the reasoning to see if there is a father and mother who are living well, and forcing the uncle to give money to his nephew to marry his daughter-in-law." This is to force people to death. ”

Ning Yueping went outside to shout like this, Grandma Shi and Chang Lin and his wife were stunned, they didn't expect Ning Yueping to go outside and shout loudly.

Ning Yueping is different from the women in the village, she is a educated youth who went to the countryside to stay here, and in the eyes of the villagers, she is a cultural person. I haven't seen her speak out loud in all these years. People in the village said that she must have been Miss Everybody before.
