Chapter 54: Crooked Methods
"She told Aunt Yang secretly behind our back, Aunt Yang helped her find it for two or three months, and the candidates have been decided." Zheng Juan couldn't help but sigh one after another as she spoke, "If it weren't for the fact that people asked us to give her a letter and let her take the third child to fight against Guang'er (blind date), how would we know that she had done such a big thing in the past few days." ”
When Mei Zhijun heard this, where could he still sit still, his two eyebrows wrinkled directly into a dead pimple, and he raised his feet and walked into the stove room from the east house, "Aunt Yang won't tell anyone that Yali's grandmother can give a bride price of 2,000 yuan to the woman, right?" ”
Zheng Juan spread her hands, "That's not what you said!" At first, Aunt Yang didn't believe Yali's nonsense, she told others by herself, you married your eldest brother, she didn't spend much money, plus Zhifeng's bride price, she didn't bring Zhifeng back to her mother-in-law's house, so she really has so much money in her hands. Aunt Yang didn't know that she couldn't save money, so she didn't believe it when she said this. ”
Mei Zhijun's face became darker and darker.
After so many years of dividing the land and working alone, even if it is a small ravine like Taizi Village, it is possible to save 5,000 yuan.
This is also the reason why Zhao Huiying was able to fool Aunt Yang.
But the question is, when did Zhao Huiying think about saving money?
He was so angry that the corners of his forehead jumped, "Then why didn't Aunt Yang talk to you in advance?" ”
"Yali's grandmother said that she was afraid that Yufen and I would have an opinion and wanted to share the money, so she asked Aunt Yang to help her hide it." Zheng Juan raised her eyes and glanced at She Yufen as she spoke, "Aunt Yang originally disagreed, but Yali and her grandmother cried and knelt again, saying that if people didn't help her with this, they would force her to die." Uncle Yang has a heart attack, where can he bear her making trouble in someone's house? Aunt Yang was afraid that something would happen to her wife, so she wanted to drive her away, but she refused to leave. Aunt Yang really had no choice, so she could only agree to help the third child introduce the partner and help her hide our 5,000 yuan. ”
She Yufen was happy, and Mei Zhijun had a constipated face.
His mother, in order to tell Mei Zhiming that she is a good friend, really spared no effort.
Although he is now accustomed to Zhao Huiying's partiality, and he will no longer be sad and disappointed, she should never choose to deceive others.
Especially this "other person" is likely to be her future in-laws and daughter-in-law.
He knew what Zhao Huiying thought, it was nothing more than planning to deceive other people's girls first, and when the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, she could use her rogue methods to manipulate others.
Of course, if you want to cook raw rice into rice, she and Mei Zhiming will inevitably use some selfish means to come out.
Whether it is the crooked idea of cheating on marriage or beating other people's daughters, in Zhao Huiying's view, it is her "smart" means to achieve her goals, but in Mei Zhijun's view, her tricks of playing these crooked ways are undoubtedly seeking her own death.
He didn't want to have a mother who went to prison, and he didn't want to have a younger brother who was *****a prisoner, so he almost immediately decided to reveal the truth to the family that Aunt Yang helped Zhao Huiying choose.
"Yali's grandmother doesn't have a bride price of 2,000 yuan for them, and she can't buy a house for the third child in Shuidi Township." Mei Zhijun stared at Mei Zhizhong and told him with a serious face, "You have to find a way to reveal this to the family that Aunt Yang has picked." ”
Mei Zhizhong hesitated, "If her grandmother knew about this, she wouldn't have to chop me with a knife?" ”
Mei Zhijun's face was black, "It's not for you to tell that family in person!" Do you have to let her get your hands on you? ”
Mei Zhizhong scratched his head, "The problem is that no one else in Shuidi Township knows about our family's situation, and her grandmother has to suspect me at the first time." ”
Although he had long known that Mei Zhizhong's brain would not turn around, hearing him say this, Mei Zhijun still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law he married was not as tendonous as him.
"Okay, you don't have to tell your eldest brother, he's a brainless person. I'll do it, and you'll just wait for the letter." ”
Seeing that Zheng Juan took the initiative to take this matter to herself, Mei Zhijun was immediately greatly relieved.
He asked Mei Zhizhong and Zheng Juan, "When it comes to buying a house in Shuidi Township, shouldn't your family also buy their own house?" ”
When Mei Zhizhong heard this, he immediately put Zheng Juan's saying that he was "brainless", and he rubbed his hands a little nervously, "Your sister-in-law and I plan to buy the yard of the old Yang family, and Uncle Yang has already promised to sell it to us cheaper." ”
The corners of Mei Zhijun's lips raised, "Uncle Yang's yard wants to be sold?" ”
Mei Zhizhong nodded, "The old couple is going to move to the city to live with their son, and they will not return to Shuidi Township in the future, so they plan to sell the house." In the past few years, my sister-in-law and I have helped them do heavy work, the old man is a sympathetic, and he told me a few days ago that he can sell it to us first. In terms of price, he gave me about 500 yuan cheaper, and he only paid me 2,008 yuan for the house and yard together, and the furniture, farm tools, pots and pans of his house, as well as the chickens raised by Aunt Yang, Uncle Yang said that they were all left to us. ”
The price of the house and yard is about five hundred yuan cheaper than the market price, and those miscellaneous things add up to two or three hundred, so calculated, Mei Zhizhong and Zheng Juan are equivalent to saving seven or eight hundred yuan, and the discount given by Uncle Yang is really not low, no wonder Mei Zhizhong and Zheng Juan would rather borrow money to buy this yard.
After a pause, Mei Zhizhong said again: "But you also know the situation of my family. For a while, I couldn't scrape together that much money, so I thought I'd take advantage of this time to come back and borrow some from you or Yali's grandmother. ”
When Mei Zhijun heard that there was no way to agree, he asked Mei Zhizhong, "Then how much money do you lack now?" ”
Mei Zhizhong looked embarrassed, "Eight hundred." I was going to borrow half from you, and then I borrowed half from Yali's grandmother, but I only opened my mouth yesterday, and she immediately scolded me back. ”
Seeing Mei Zhijun's hesitation, Zheng Juan hurriedly added on the side, "If your family has money to spare, you can still lend us four hundred, and I will borrow the other four hundred from my parents' house." ”
Mei Zhizhong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed back because of Zheng Juan's look.
Mei Zhijun didn't notice the lawsuit between the husband and wife, he first roughly calculated how much money he could squeeze out in his heart, and then raised his eyes to look at She Yufen.
She Yufen is also a straightforward person, seeing Mei Zhijun looking at her, she immediately glanced over, "What do you think I'm doing?" Am I still stopping you from lending money to your eldest brother? ”
Mei Zhijun laughed twice, and then turned his gaze to Mei Zhizhong, who was staring at him, "I'll lend you five hundred first." I can't take it out now. You ask Uncle Yang if you can owe him 300 yuan first, and then I will find a way to bring you 300 yuan after the New Year. ”
