Chapter 20: Patriarchy
Shen Xiaoya entered the house, sat on the side of the kang, took out the 5 yuan in her trouser pocket, and looked at it left and right in her hand.
For Shen Xiaoya, who is accustomed to modern payment methods, paper money is too unfamiliar.
Nowadays, holding banknotes not only feels good but also very real.
Unexpectedly, the first huge sum she earned after she was reborn was 5 yuan!
She thought it was better to make these two hats as soon as possible, after all, there was still something big waiting for her!
Compared to Shen Xiaoya, who was in a happy mood.
At this moment, the old mansion of the Shen family can be described as lifeless.
The whole family is worried about Shen Jiacheng's bride price!
Mrs. Shen sat on the edge of the kang, smoking her cigarette pouch while thinking:
It was hard to bargain, and the woman agreed to give the bride price of 200 yuan first.
She can't let this granddaughter-in-law run away, she has to make up the 200 yuan no matter what.
immediately fell on Shen Jiajia, who was standing next to the table.
"You said that you can do something, just let you and Li Zhiqing ask for money, why is it so difficult?"
"Aren't you two a partner? This mother's family is in trouble, can he still help! ”
Shen Jiajia stood beside the table with an aggrieved face and did not squeak.
Zhang Shufen sat on the chair and listened to her daughter being scolded, not only did not stop her, but said:
"Your grandmother is right, he should pay to help us, and we don't care if he asks for more, just 200 yuan, he has a subsidy in the brigade!"
Shen Jiajia looked at her patriarchal grandmother and selfish and greedy mother, and felt unprecedented humiliation.
In order to make up a bride price for her brother, she actually asked her to go to Li Guozhu to ask for money.
I really don't know what they think.
Besides, Li Guozhu doesn't want to see her at all now, she has gone to the brigade to look for her several times, and he says he's busy every time.
In fact, Shen Jiajia knew that he was drawing a line with her.
When Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Jiajia didn't speak, her temper suddenly rose.
"What, didn't you hear me? You have something to say! Can you ask for this money? ”
Shen Jiajia looked at the old lady Shen in front of her, obviously she is also her own granddaughter!
Just because Shen Jiacheng is the only boy in the family, he should eat well, dress well, and play well.
Just because she is a girl and a person with a foreign surname, she should give in, fulfill it, and pay unconditionally.
Why?
Shen Jiajia, who was resentful, clenched her fists tightly, and her face was gloomy.
Zhang Shufen on the side saw that her daughter didn't speak, so she hurriedly urged: "Jiajia, you have something to say!" ”
"You also know that in our village, the girls in the family have to help their brothers and sisters make up the bride price."
"Besides, if your brother can really marry a daughter-in-law in the city, won't you have support in the future!"
Shen Jiajia has been really driven crazy by them these days.
Ever since Shen Jiacheng came back from the city, she knew that nothing good would happen.
Sure enough, I asked for money when I came back.
But the family can't come up with the bride price money at all.
originally wanted to marry the ugly monster out for a bride price.
Unexpectedly, he was stirred up by Shen Xiaoya.
Now the old lady Shen hit her head with the idea.
"Is it so hard to say? You have eaten the Shen family and drunk the Shen family for more than 20 years, what's wrong with asking you for 200 yuan! ”
"You have stiff wings, don't take my old bones in your eyes"
Old Madam Shen was obviously angry.
Her precious grandson must marry a city daughter-in-law, and the bride price must be made up no matter what!
Zhang Shufen pulled Shen Jiajia over and said in a low voice: "Jiajia, say something quickly, you know your grandmother's temper!" ”
Shen Jiajia pulled Zhang Shufen's hand down, looked at the two of them and said coldly:
"Why did Li Guozhu give you the bride price, are you crazy about money!"
"Why should Shen Jiacheng's bride price money be paid by me, I can't get the money!"
Old Lady Shen and Zhang Shufen were startled by Shen Jiajia's voice.
This is the first time that Shen Jiajia has confronted Mrs. Shen in more than 20 years.
Since she was a child, she knew that her grandmother and mother preferred her brother.
She naively thought that as long as she studied hard and was obedient and sensible, they would notice her.
But she was wrong, no matter how hard she tried, they still only had that dead fat man Shen Jiacheng in their eyes.
"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you dare to do it against my old woman." Old Lady Shen patted the kang and shouted.
Shen Jiajia looked at the familiar scene and laughed in her heart.
This is the rhythm of preparing to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself!
This time, she didn't wait for Zhang Shufen to speak, and continued: "You'd better not hit me with your ideas!" ”
"If you want to blame that ugly bastard, if she hadn't messed up the family affairs with the Wang family, you wouldn't have to worry about the bride price."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the ugly monster is also worried about Li Guozhu."
Old Mrs. Shen: "What did you say?" ”
Zhang Shufen: "What did you say?" ”
Shen Jiajia has been fighting wits and courage with them every day for more than 20 years.
I have long figured out their weaknesses.
Sure enough, as soon as these few words came out, they successfully diverted their attention.
Originally, in the past few days, Mrs. Shen was in a hurry for the bride price money, and her mouth was foaming.
I didn't expect her to go to the trouble of the ugly monster, but the ugly monster came to block her!
Originally, Shen Jiajia was able to hook up with the city educated youth in the brigade, and Mrs. Shen was ecstatic.
When they met, they said that her granddaughter was going to marry into the city.
didn't expect this halfway to bite the gold.
If Li Guozhu is intercepted by the ugly monster at this juncture, she will really explode on the spot!
Not only did Mrs. Shen panic at this moment, but Zhang Shufen on the side was also nervous.
"Jiajia, what you said is true, that ugly monster really hooked up with Li Zhiqing!"
"Can I still talk nonsense! I caught them red-handed! ”
Zhang Shufen can't care about the bride price, she has to find a way to keep this prospective son-in-law.
Originally, she thought that Shen Jiajia and Li Guozhu were a sure thing, but she didn't expect that they would be able to go on a business trip.
Unexpectedly, the two who were still denouncing Shen Jiajia just now.
At this time, they all leaned over and discussed with Shen Jiajia how to tie up Li Guozhu.
Old Lady Shen kept cursing Shen Xiaoya.
In the end, it was decided not to let Shen Jiajia and Li Guozhu mention 200 yuan.
After all, the most important thing now is to find a way to capture his heart.
As for how to deal with Shen Xiaoya.
Shen Jiajia thought of a way, but she needed their help.
Soon the three of them came to an agreement.
Shen Jiajia straightened her waist and said, "Grandma, I have to go to the brigade to have a look, cultivate a relationship with Guozhu, and by the way, prevent others from taking advantage of the situation." ”
Old Lady Shen hurriedly said, "Okay, you can go quickly, you can't let others take advantage of the loophole." ”
Shen Jiajia swaggered out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Shen Jiacheng coming back.
Shen Jiajia was disdainful in her heart: Just this body of meat, like a meat roller, and she still wants to marry a girl in the city, it's really a pipe dream!
Although he was unhappy, he still greeted him politely:
"Brother, come back, grandma and mom are waiting for you in the house, I have something to go out!"
Shen Jiacheng looked at his sister, and also put on a posture of being a brother.
"Why are you always in trouble? The girl's family should stay at home, don't always run outside, remember to come back early! ”
Shen Jiajia ignored him, turned around and walked out.
Shen Jiacheng knew that his sister had to help him with the bride price, so he didn't say anything more.
She greeted Mrs. Shen and went into his own house.
Zhang Shufen's face was entangled, and she couldn't make up her mind, thinking with a frown.
Old Lady Shen didn't have her worries, "You are afraid of wolves and tigers, what can you do!" ”
Zhang Shufen took a deep breath and stabilized her mind, but she was still a little worried.
I really don't know if this will work......
