"No money? What kind of children do you have if you don't have money?! "Li Xiaocan, who lost ten pounds of weight in the first month, turned yellow, and thought that Zhang Gang was perfunctory, and he didn't have anything good to say.

"If you don't want it, you don't want it, it's not my child alone!" When Zhang Gang heard this, he thought that Li Xiaocan was ridiculing him, and he became even more angry.

Li Xiaocan was furious, "If you don't want it, you don't want it, I don't have the money to do a prenatal checkup anyway!" With that, he hung up the phone.

This is the first time she and Zhang Gang have quarreled, he has never been like this before, every time Li Xiaocan's tone is bad, Zhang Gang will stop in moderation, or apologize or amuse or be silent, and will snuff out the signs of anger in the cradle. But this time Zhang Gang didn't let her, but instead said the cruel words of "don't want children", and Li Xiaocan felt aggrieved.

Li Xiaocan also felt sad that Zhang Gang didn't seem to care about her so much. Except for the first check-up, which was accompanied by Zhang Gang, every other prenatal check-up was taken by bus by himself, especially Jianshu. Several floors ran back and forth, blood draws, registrations, and queues. She had low blood sugar, plus she had blood drawn, and she was dizzy, and she slowed down in the chair for a long time before she got better. She envies those pregnant women who have their husbands running errands before and after the saddle and carefully accompanying them. Zhang Gang not only did not accompany her, but the money for the prenatal examination was still the little salary deposit he had left. Li Xiaocan suddenly felt that life after marriage was not necessarily better than before marriage.

Zhang Gang was deeply depressed by Li Xiaocan's sudden hanging up of the phone. I don't know how Li Xiaocan, who was once gentle and considerate, became so willful.

At one or two o'clock in the morning, the lively crowd gradually dispersed, leaving bamboo sticks, beer bottles, and garbage bags all over the ground. Zhang Gang put away his stiff smile, took the 100 yuan he had just earned, and thought that he didn't know when he would earn 68,000, he felt so tired and physically and mentally exhausted.

Zhang Gang turned on his mobile phone and received Weizi's wedding invitation, and the two chatted. Weizi's girlfriend asked for a bride price of 100,000 yuan, but she also brought back 200,000 yuan from her mother's family, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan from her mother's family.

Zhang Gang felt envious and jealous in his heart, so he tentatively asked Xiao Can how much he could bring back.

Li Xiaocan quarreled with Zhang Gang because of the past few days, and Zhang Gang was not actively coaxing her as before, and was sitting sulking. For a whole day, except for eating and drinking, I didn't take half a step out of the bedroom, and I didn't like before, as soon as I got home, I gathered around my parents like a little bird, chattering non-stop.

Mother Li couldn't look at it, "Daughter, isn't it a problem for you to be bored in the house all day, isn't his family willing to pay this money?" ”

"I guess I can't afford it" Li Xiaocan lowered his head and fiddled with the barbs next to his fingernails.

"I can't afford to go out, I can't go out! If you don't want a penny, his family will think you are cheap, and maybe they will go around preaching: 'My family will marry a daughter-in-law before a penny', and then you will be despised and you will suffer! ”

Li Xiaocan didn't know what to say, so he had to show his mother the information on his mobile phone about how much Zhang Gang asked to bring back. Mama Li was so angry that her volume immediately increased dozens of times: "This Zhang Gang, I said that you don't want to follow him, you want to follow him!" Your father and I worked hard to raise you, for you to study, go to college, and there was nothing in return, as soon as you got married, you became a member of his family, and his family got such a good daughter-in-law, and you also added Ding to his family, do you want me to pay for it? This daughter is really a money-loser, not fake at all! ”

The young couple was at a loss in the face of the entanglement involving their elders.

During the rainy season, it rains a lot, and the sky is like a sentimental girl, always crying again and again. Tiny droplets of water oozed from the floor. There are also some small mold spots on the wall where the faucet is installed in the yard. The clothes were always damp, crumpled on the hands, and smelled musty. The air was stuffy and hot, overwhelming.

I don't know if it's because of the weather, it seems that everyone is holding their breath, and everyone's heart is uncomfortable.

Although Zhang Gang and Li Xiaocan had an unhappy quarrel because of various things, they always have to get married.

Zhang's mother whispered a bunch of good things to all her relatives and friends, and called one after another. Greetings, relationships, complaints, difficulties, and guarantees, I finally got together 68,000, and I also prepared some more money for a banquet and a car, and owed others a total of more than 100,000.

As soon as the money arrived, Zhang Gang went to the 4S store, and his name was also written on Li Xiaocan, with a down payment of 40,000 yuan, a monthly payment of 2,000, and a mortgage to buy a Geely.

The two sides began to discuss the details of the banquet. The first is the date of the wedding. Zhang Gang's mother has cured Zhang Gang's stomach ache with superstition before, and the superstition budget is accurate that Zhang Gang will get married at the age of 26, and since then she has to believe in superstition in everything. So I wanted to come to Li Xiaocan's birthday, spend money to find a fortune teller, and count it a few months later.

Li's mother disagreed: "My daughter was more than five months pregnant before holding a banquet, and her belly was already up, isn't this a joke for others to see?" ”

Zhang's mother was also unwilling to compromise: "Getting married next month is not good for my son, getting married next month is not good for your daughter, and another month is not good for us." There's no way, we can't let them be unfavorable to the newcomers, only his father and I avoid firecrackers, otherwise the real good days will come to the end of the year, and it will be even worse at that time. ”

The bride price was given by Zhang Gang's family, so in the end, it was according to Zhang's mother's meaning.

"Daughter, you see that your cousin is married, with two finger-thick gold bracelets on her left hand, a shining diamond ring on her right hand, a gold necklace around her neck, and a pair of gold earrings on her ears. You also need to buy a 'hardware'. ”

Li Xiaocan estimated in his heart that this "hardware" would add up to tens of thousands. If you want to go on like this, it is estimated that you will have to quarrel with Zhang Gang again. I had to persuade: "How worried about this 'hardware' to wear, there are many people on the wedding day, I patronize being a good bride, I want to put on makeup, I want to rush from this house to that house, how can I have the heart to take care of this gold and that silver?" If you drop it and you are unhappy, you have to look for it everywhere, so it's not too troublesome. ”

"You stupid girl, other Yunnan girls get married, and they all wear gold and silver, so you have too much 'hardware'? You, you have to leave something valuable for yourself, you only get married once, you don't have what others have, don't you regret it? ”

"Mom, my ear piercing has been closed, there is no hole, 'three golds' are enough, I am pregnant and it is not good to pierce my ears, what if it is inflamed and I can't take medicine?" Li Xiaocan tilted his head sideways and deliberately lifted his hair, eager to put his ears on his mother's face.

As soon as Li Xiaocan conveyed the words of the 'three golds', Zhang Gang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "Where do I get the money for the 'three golds'?" You're going to let me steal and rob it? My parents already owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to others, a lot of debts, I now work two jobs, make money day and night, and I have to save for a few months to have those tens of thousands! ”
