As soon as Qi Lei left, Kang Chunfeng took the lead and said: "Eldest sister, Comrade Qi said just now that he was willing to give a bride price of three hundred and eighty-eight. Eldest sister, this bride price is not only our family's face, but also your face. ”

Bao Yiqiu looked at Bao's mother without squeaking, she sneered and said: "The rule on Qi Lei's side is that the man pays as much as the bride price, and the woman has to give the same amount of dowry." Are you willing to pay me a dowry of three hundred and eighty-eight? ”

Qi Lei didn't have this custom on her side, but when she chatted with a few female classmates, she talked about how much bride price the man gave in some places, and the woman with a good family would marry the same dowry.

Kang Chunfeng's face changed when he heard this, and he said: "Three hundred and eighty-eight marriages, you can't make up so much money even if you sell us?" I really didn't expect this comrade Qi to look bold, but he was so shameless. ”

Bao Yiqiu couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded: "The most shameless thing in our family is you." When I got married, I was so squeezed that Yihu moved out, and beat my idea, wanting to sell me to some illiterate worker for profit. ”

After speaking, she looked at Bao's mother and said, "I started making money at the age of thirteen when I took my father's job, and every penny of the money I earned was taken home." Later, when I went to the countryside, I also saved money and sent it home. I also came back every month when I went to college, and it was all pulled out of my teeth. I've done so much for my family, and you're not enough, and you're going to sell me for a good price? ”

Hearing this, Bao Mu was very uncomfortable and said; "Yiqiu, my mother just said, we only need a bride price of eighty-eight. Whoever sells the girl will only need a bride price of eighty-eight. ”

Bao Yiqiu said with an angry face: "You don't want to see how old I am?" I will be twenty-nine after the New Year, and at my age, no one with good conditions for marriage is willing to post eighty-eight. ”

Because of her age, she actually has some inferiority complex in her heart, and it is also her life in college in the past few years that has allowed her to regain her self-confidence. Just thinking of her previous efforts, she mentioned that she didn't think it was worth it.

Bao Yiqiu said: "I took my father's job at the age of thirteen to help support the family, and when I reached the age of marriage, how many matchmakers came to the door at that time. You want me to support my family. Later, Bao Yizhou was going to the countryside when he was old, and you said that he was not in good health and would die if he went to the countryside, so I gave him the job to the countryside without saying a word. Mother, is he really in poor health? No, you are reluctant to let him go to the countryside to suffer. If you can't bear him, you will let me go to the countryside to suffer and suffer. ”

Without waiting for Bao's mother to argue, she continued: "I have been in the factory for five years, and I have been promoted from an apprentice at the bottom of the workshop to an officer, and my salary has risen from a dozen yuan to thirty yuan. I went to the countryside, and Bao Yizhou took my class but only got the salary of an apprentice. When the family's income decreased, you wrote to me every day and cried, and I tightened my belt to save the money and send it home. Because I want to help you support your family, I don't dare to deal with people for fear of dragging them down. I was lucky enough to be admitted to Beijing University and met Qi Lei, he didn't dislike me when I was old and was willing to marry me, that was my blessing. found such a good son-in-law, which parent is not happy. But what about you, you actually want me to marry such a crooked melon and cracked date. It sounds good, I don't want to marry far away and not see me, in fact, I just want to tie me to your side and provide for your old age, and dedicate your life to Bao Yizhou and your eldest grandson as cattle and horses. ”

This job Bao Yiqiu replaced her father back then, and when she went to work that day, she said that she would do this job first, and when Bao Yizhou grew up, she would give the job back to him. Bao Yiqiu agreed at the time, so she didn't complain about giving up her work. But what made her uneasy was that she didn't have to go to the countryside after returning her job to Bao Yizhou. Because there was a family who came to propose marriage, the family's conditions were very good, and they promised to help arrange work as long as she got married. However, the family made a request, that is, she was not allowed to make up for her mother's family after she got married. But her mother refused, and she only learned about it when she went to a relative's house last year to pay a New Year's greeting.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. The family who came in advance liked her very much and thought that she was smart and capable of prospering the family, but they were worried that her mother would squeeze her to supplement her mother's family after marriage, so they made this request. Unfortunately, her mother refused, and she ended up in the countryside.

Bao Mu burst into tears and said, "Yiqiu, how can you miss your mother so much? ”

Kang Chunfeng also scolded: "Bao Yiqiu, my father-in-law died of illness more than ten years ago, and it was my mother-in-law who worked hard to bring up your three sisters and brothers. Do you still have a conscience when you say such things? ”

After her father died of illness, she took a job to make money for the family, and for 14 years, she was not sorry.

Bao Yiqiu didn't want to fight with her, and said, "You have a conscience, right?" Well, you swear here that you don't want to look for me in the future. If you find me, you will be reincarnated as an animal in the next life. ”

She can see through it, and her mother blindly thinks about Bao Yizhou and his eldest grandson. And Bao Yizhou hid everything behind his back, letting Kang Chunfeng, a greedy woman, rush to the front.

Bao's mother also heard the rejection in her words, she suddenly became anxious, and her mouth was faster than her brain: "Yiqiu, this is your brother and nephew, if you don't pull them, who can help them." ”

Bao Yiqiu sneered: "It's better to throw money into the water for such a white-eyed wolf, and you can still hear a sound in the water!" Mom, you don't have to think about the three major pieces of bride price. After I work, I will give you boarding pension money every month, and in the future, when you are sick, the medical expenses will be shared equally between the three of us. Don't think about the rest. ”

After saying that, she turned around and went out, but as soon as she went out, her tears couldn't help but fall anymore. She didn't think she would reciprocate what she had done for her family, but at least she had to make a note of her goodness. As a result, not only did I not remember her well, but I also felt that she had not done enough.

Bao Yihu was not at ease, and when Qi Lei went to bed, he turned back. When he walked halfway, he saw Bao Yiqiu in tears, and he was anxious: "Sister, did that shrew bully you?" Eldest sister, I'll clean her up. ”

Bao Yiqiu grabbed her and said, "She didn't bully me, it's me, I feel uncomfortable remembering the past." ”

If it weren't for Tian Shao's repeated reminders that her mother was sucking her blood for her son and letting her plan more for herself, she probably wouldn't have woken up by now. She has to be led by her mother all the time, and it is impossible for Qi Lei to marry her, and this life will really be ruined.

Bao Yihu was silent and said, "Sister, don't come back until I get the house, so you don't have to be angry." ”

Waiting for the welfare room, he has just turned a regular and has no play. But the factory has now begun to raise funds to build a house, and if the money is enough, it will be able to book a house at that time.

Seeing that he has plans for the future, Bao Yiqiu is in a much better mood: "Then you save money and strive to buy a house as soon as possible." With a house, it is easier to talk about a daughter-in-law. ”

If it had been before, she would have said that the money was not enough for her to make up. But now she has changed her mind, and Bao Yihu lets him earn it himself, whether it is a house or a daughter-in-law. Of course, if she encounters difficulties or borrows less money in the future, she will borrow, but she will never take the initiative to take the money again. Giving too much is not a favor, it is an enmity.

Bao Yihu nodded heavily.
