Chapter 9: Forcing Them to Agree
Gu Lin felt a warm current in his heart.
"No matter what, we are a family, if we can help, I not only want to marry your second brother's daughter-in-law, but I also want to save a dowry for you!"
"When you are willing to marry someone in the future, you will marry, if you don't want to, we will not marry!"
Zhou Xiaojuan pouted, she couldn't help it.
I want my mother to have the final say.
Do the math, she will stay at home for five or six years, and if it is too late, she will become an old girl and no one wants it.
Zhou Xiaojuan confirmed that the sister-in-law was still the original sister-in-law and continued to drive the donkey.
When he was about to arrive in the town, Gu Lin asked Zhou Xiaojuan if Zhou Lai's money would still be in the town.
Zhou Xiaojuan thought for a while and felt that it was very possible, so the two went straight to the town.
When she arrived in the town, Gu Lin knew that the town in the nineties was similar to the big set in the countryside in her lifetime.
It's not even better than that.
Dirt is dusty dirt roads.
There are all kinds of houses on the street, and most of the houses you can see are mud houses, and only a few are brick houses.
Most of the walls are decorated with a variety of slogans, with two being the most prominent.
One is family planning, the other is patriotic propaganda, and there are a handful of conscription slogans.
Supply and marketing cooperatives, cooperatives, banks and so on.
Zhou Xiaojuan said that the town is a big gathering every 258.
Today is the seventh, not a big set.
Although it was not a big day, there were still quite a few people in the town.
In a crowded place, Zhou Xiaojuan came down to pull the donkey away, and the two of them found Zhou Laiqian who had just come out in a remote place where there were almost no shops around.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Laiqian was very surprised to see the two of them.
Gu Lin glanced at the shop: "Is the coffin set?" ”
"Not yet, the boss said that if you want to order a coffin, you must order it with paper money and clothes, and the cheapest one will cost thirty-eight yuan!"
"Someone will definitely come to help tomorrow, and we have to prepare meals, and the little money we have left in our family is almost gone!"
"The things I told you are all to be used, and besides, your brother has suffered all his life, and he died early in order to make money!"
"If you don't enjoy life and happiness, let him go well when he dies, so that you have no regrets, and he won't worry about you when he goes over there!"
The boss who spoke was a man in his early fifties.
Gu Lin originally wanted to pay directly, and then pull the coffin away, but the boss's words reached her heart.
Thirty-eight yuan is indeed a lot for the current Zhou family, but when the money is gone, it can be earned again.
When a person is buried, he can't dig it out again.
When the family has money in the future, the Zhou family will definitely regret why they are not willing to spend money today.
"Boss, we want it, please pack up all the things you just matched!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Zhou Laiqian and Zhou Xiaojuan shouted in unison.
Gu Lin said: "Your eldest brother has suffered all his life, let him leave well, spend a little more money now, and we won't regret it when I think about it in the future!" ”
"But my mother's ......" Zhou Laiqian was worried about his mother.
"If my mother asks, that's what I said! Go in and help and see if our donkey cart can pull the coffin back!" ”
Zhou Laiqian saw that his sister-in-law had already decided, so he didn't say anything more.
The boss himself had a delivery tricycle, so Gu Lin asked Zhou Laiqian to get in the car and go back first.
She and Zhou Xiaojuan bought some vegetables and hurried back.
Back home.
The courtyard of the Zhou family was filled with crying.
The two people who had just arrived at the door unconsciously red-eyed.
Gu Lin felt so uncomfortable in her heart, she knew that it was the original owner's feelings for Zhou Laiyun.
"Daughter-in-law, you're back!" The man led by yesterday stood next to the coffin and saw Gu Lin coming back at a glance.
Gu Lin sniffed, thinking about who this person was, so he heard Zhou Laiqian say: "Sister-in-law, uncle said that Mr. Yin and Yang didn't come, and the eldest brother can't be buried!" ”
"Uncle, let's talk in the house!"
After Gu Lin finished speaking, he said to Zhou Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, you look at your mother, just let your mother cry, don't cry and break your body!" ”
"Come on, you come into the house with me!"
Zhou Gui frowned and glanced at his daughter-in-law and went to the house.
Entering the house, Zhou Gui and Zhou Jun brothers sat on the kang.
"Laiyun daughter-in-law, we went back to discuss what you said yesterday, four hundred yuan is not enough!"
Zhou Laiqian was on fire, holding his hands tightly.
If Gu Lin hadn't pressed it, this kid would have scolded him.
Gu Lin kicked Zhou Laiqian before he said to Zhou Gui in a cold voice: "How did Uncle discuss it when he went back yesterday?" ”
When Zhou Jun heard this, he glanced at his eldest brother proudly.
He said, no matter how powerful the daughter-in-law is, she is also a woman who has died of a man.
This woman can't take it too seriously.
Not to mention the woman who still died with a man.
Zhou Gui, who has always been uncertain in his heart, also has a little confidence in his heart.
He said, "We don't care, it's mainly your grandma!"
"It stands to reason that it is your father's business to provide for your grandmother, it's not that your father left early, so this matter falls on Laiyun!"
"Who knows that luck is also short-lived, the money is still small, and you will soon say goodbye, if you let your family continue to provide for your grandmother, your grandmother is worried that the money will not be able to say that the daughter-in-law will not be able to talk about the future!"
"It cost one hundred and twenty yuan to go out this time, and you still have three hundred and eighty yuan in your hand!"
"It's only thirty yuan to buy a coffin for burial, and I'll leave you ten yuan, and I'll be able to do it!"
"You give me the remaining three hundred and forty yuan, and I'll take back your grandma!"
"By the way, your grandmother said that she was dead, and you can't use the sewing machine that she bought for you, let me move it back to your milk!"
"Uncle is done?" Gu Lin had no emotion on his face at all.
In fact, he was so angry that he trembled.
When she knew that she had penetrated into the ravine, she was somewhat prepared for the temperament of the people here.
But hearing Zhou Gui's words, she was still angry.
She finally understood why some people would say that the poor mountains and bad waters are out of the people.
Forty bucks!
And take the only thing of value in this house.
"Laiyun daughter-in-law, who are you pulling a face to show it! If you hadn't died and had been alive and well, and you would have been able to provide for your grandmother, we wouldn't have asked you for this money! ”
Zhou Jun on the side was unhappy when he saw that his daughter-in-law didn't speak.
"This matter is something we have discussed with your grandmother, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree, otherwise Laiyun will always be put away!"
"Don't say that our Zhou family is not emotional, you take money too seriously!"
Gu Lin laughed angrily: "So, Uncle is trying to force us to agree?" ”
"I've heard that my son is raising his son, and for the first time I've heard that my grandson is going to raise his grandmother, and people who don't know think that the man of the Zhou family is dead!"
"What are you talking nonsense about, daughter-in-law!" Zhou Gui slapped the table angrily.
A pair of eyes were bigger than a cow's eyes, and he couldn't wait to eat Gu Lin.
Zhou Laiqian was frightened, but he still gritted his teeth and stood in front of his sister-in-law.
