Hearing Ye Fei make such a promise in front of so many people, his parents were nervous.

Because for them, this is not just a question of whether they can do it, but once they break their promise, the Ye family will not be able to raise their heads in the village in the future.

When Gu Hongyun heard this, he also deliberately raised his voice and said: "Okay, this is what you kid said by himself, if you can really take out 10,000 yuan to marry my daughter, then I will agree to this marriage, but if you can't do it, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people when the time comes." ”

The most important thing in this village is to watch the excitement of idlers, at this time, the faces of the people present seem to be full of expectation, expecting Ye Fei to come up with no money, so that they can see the expression of the joke.

Gu Xiaocong asked: "Then you say, when will you take 10,000 yuan of bride price to my house to propose, my sister is pregnant now, and her belly is getting bigger day by day, and our family can't afford to wait." ”

Ye Fei looked up at the sky, and then said: "It's the lunar month, I promise that before the first month, I will take the money to propose marriage, and I will never wait until the New Year." ”

Gu Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good, ambitious, but I can tell you, if your Ye family wants to live a stable year, it is best to do what you say." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and left the Ye family's courtyard with people.

Ye Fei turned his head to look at his parents again, only to find that the two of them had sadness on their faces at this time.

Lu Yun remembered that her eyes were red, and she said anxiously: "Xiaofei, are you crazy, our family is just smashing pots and selling iron, and we have sold the house, and we can't make up so much money!" ”

Ye Anhe took a puff of dry cigarettes, slammed the tobacco bag and pot on the ground and said: "Bastard, don't say anything about doing such dirty things yourself, it's good now, put our Ye family in, and don't go out to meet people in the future." ”

Ye Fei comforted: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, you two, since I dare to make this promise, I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Hearing this, the old couple had a slightly puzzled expression on their faces, because they understood that their son's character never said big things.

"You...... How did you get all this money? Lu Yun asked.

Ye Fei suddenly asked at this time: "Dad, how much coal is there in our coal yard?" ”

Ye Anhe sighed and said: "Hey, the three thousand I just said is thinking that I will dispose of more than ten tons of coal in our coal yard, and I can exchange it for one or two thousand yuan, and then borrow some from your uncle and third uncle's house, so I estimate that there should be no problem with making up two or three thousand." ”

In addition to farming, a family of three takes an iron plow in the coal yard to sort the coal pulled from other places, and sells the coal to people who need to make briquettes, and the larger carbon blocks are sold to some people who burn stoves at home.

The three of them are so tired and tired, and it is already the limit to be able to earn one or twenty yuan a day, not counting the coal ash taken away by the wind and rain.

Ye Fei made a rough calculation in his heart at this time, and said: "Dad, as long as our family can borrow another 3,000 yuan now, I can guarantee that our family's coal yard will earn enough 10,000 yuan before the Chinese New Year." ”

Ye Anhe and Lu Yun were shocked, and said that this kid wanted to be blind, and in less than a month, even if he waved the iron climbing plow into smoke, he wouldn't be able to earn 10,000 yuan!

But in the face of the situation in front of him, Ye Anhe still gritted his teeth, chose to believe Ye Fei, and went out to borrow money, because at this time he had nothing to do.

And the reason why Ye Fei dared to be so sure that the coal yard could make money was because in his memory, in the month of 1995, there would be a rare blizzard.

After the heavy snowfall, due to the complete closure of the road, the cars pulling coal from other places cannot enter the local area at all, and at this time, the New Year is approaching, every household will buy coal and carbon, which will lead to the price of coal this year.

Ye Fei remembers that although the price of coal had more than tripled that year, many people still couldn't buy it, and some families even relied on burning corn stalks to survive the Chinese New Year.

So Ye Fei's idea is to take advantage of the fact that the heavy snow is not yet coming, hoard coal in the coal yard as much as possible, and make a lot of money when the price rises.

It didn't take long for Ye Anhe to come back with the three thousand yuan he had borrowed.

He put the money on the table and said, "Xiaofei, this is all the money that your uncle and your third uncle's family can come up with, whether you can marry the village chief's daughter or not depends on your own creation." ”

Lu Yun said angrily at this time: "Hmph, this Gu Hongyun's heart is also ruthless enough, we all know in the village that Xiaofei and Yingying have been getting along for a long time, and now they have children in their stomachs, he even forced our family to take so many dowries, I think if our family can't get it out in the end, then Yingying has the flesh and blood of our Ye family in her belly, can he still let his daughter marry our family?" ”

Ye Fei shook his head, because he knew that Gu Hongyun would indeed be so ruthless, and because he couldn't come up with enough bride price back then, he finally forced Gu Yingying to have an abortion.

Recalling this experience, Ye Fei shuddered, because after Gu Yingying's suicide, their Ye family also seemed to have fallen into hell, unable to survive in the village, and was ostracized everywhere.

So Ye Fei secretly swore in his heart that he would never let this incident happen again, and he would never be bullied because of money in his life.

Thinking of this, Ye Fei picked up the money on the table and went to the coal yard, preparing to take advantage of the current cheap price to find someone who pulls coal from other places to deliver goods to his own yard.

And Ye Fei stared at the bicycle and just left the house, he met Gu Yingying, who was crying and was about to come to find him.

When Ye Fei saw Gu Yingying, he couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat.

Because for him, the woman he loves in front of him has been away from him for more than 30 years.

When Gu Yingying saw Ye Fei, she cried even more fiercely.

"Ye Fei, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that my dad and my brother would go to your house to make trouble."

Ye Fei used his uncontrollable trembling hand to wipe Gu Yingying's tears and said, "I'm sorry for you...... Don't worry, I will definitely marry you in this life and let you be my woman. ”

Gu Yingying felt strange in her heart when she heard this, so she wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve and said: "10,000 yuan, where are you going to earn it, isn't this to force people to death, I don't care if your family can come up with the bride price, even if I can't take it out, I will elope with you!" ”

This sentence moved Ye Fei's heart very much, and he said in his heart that with Gu Yingying's words, even if he fought with his own life, he would earn enough money to marry her.

Then he quipped: "You don't know me yet, I, Ye Fei, have the ability, or so many rich people chase you, why would you fall in love with me, isn't it just 10,000 yuan, you go back and tell your wealthy father, I must have thrown the money in front of him years ago." ”

A sentence amused Gu Yingying, and she sneered and said: "You are poor, you think that the money is blown by the wind, how can it be so easy to earn?" ”

And at this time, Ye Fei suddenly chuckled in his heart.

Because he saw that on Gu Yingying's crying red cheeks, a crystal snowflake fell!
