Lu Jingzhou's family is relatively simple.
Wei Honghong lives with Lu Jingzhou's father, Lu Dahai. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The second son now works in the county's Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
My younger daughter works in the obstetrics and gynecology department in the city.
They all eat public food.
It’s just... the children all have families and families. They don’t get much salary and have to support their families. It’s almost impossible to supplement the family. It’s good to bring something back during the New Year and energy saving.
Old Dalu Dahai farmed at home and supported his two sons, which was a bit difficult.
The eldest son Lu Jingzhou wants to repeat his studies. The younger son Lu Jingyan will soon be in junior high school, which will cost money.
Lu Dahai was also thinking about making money now.
During the days when I collected the climbing monkeys, I could earn more than 20 yuan a day, and more than 70 yuan in three days.
But yesterday someone discovered how to make money, and the number of cicada monkeys received dropped sharply, which once again made the family no longer able to make a living.
Seeing Wu Chunmei coming to the door, Wei Honghong took Lu Jingzhou's mother to receive her, while Lu Dahai went to work in the fields with a hoe. He didn't like to get involved in social matters at home.
Hearing that Wu Chunmei came here to ask for 500 yuan, Wei Hong became jealous and almost fainted. She couldn't get 500 yuan.
Wu Chunmei lowered her eyelids, as if she hadn't seen it, and her voice was full of helplessness: "That book belongs to Dani. I am just a stepmother and cannot be her master. She said that if she doesn't get five hundred, she has to return the book, otherwise she will Report to the police.
He also said that if he took something without her permission, he would be stealing. Jingzhou would go to college in the future, so he couldn't bear the reputation of stealing books. "
These words directly poked Wei Honghong's lungs. Those books were given by Su Nian to his eldest grandson, and they were not stolen by Xiao Zhou. It really has nothing to do with his family.
However, she was scared when she heard about the police. A few nights ago, she could dream about the police beating her away. These days it was better, so Wu Chunmei asked, was this to intimidate her?
Did she forget that her daughter was rushing to marry her grandson?
"Five hundred! It's going to kill me, but I don't have it. If you don't want your son-in-law to go to a good university, just take the book back." Wei Honghong said with a look like a broken jar.
The expression on Wu Chunmei's face was frozen.
Wei Honghong continued: "Go and get your books. Why are you sitting here? Our family doesn't have much money and we can't afford sugar water for you to drink."
After saying that, he added: "I think you don't like my Xiaozhou either. In this case, there is no need to talk about marriage. There are many people who like my grandson, and it's not like I can't find a rich one."
"..." Hearing this, Su Nian stood up suddenly. The marriage had to be settled. She didn't want to be judged by others. Moreover, Brother Zhou was good-looking and smart. She actually liked him very much. He could only do it after the marriage was settled. Ride a donkey to find a horse, otherwise you may pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
"Mom!" She stretched out her hand and pulled Wu Chunmei.
Wu Chunmei took a deep breath and looked at Wei Honghong. This old lady was not easy to talk to. If Nian Nian was really with Lu Jingzhou, she would be picked on in the future.
She gently patted the back of Su Nian's hand to express comfort.
In her heart, she didn't believe that Wei Honghong really refused to let Lu Jingzhou go to Peking University. She must be waiting for her to lower the price.
However, she cannot be left behind. The amount of money can be discussed, but the person who takes the initiative must be Wei Honghong.
She said: "Okay, I'll take the book away right now. As for Nian Nian's marriage, she will leave the village sooner or later. People outside don't know anything. She may not be tortured by rumors."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Su Nian up and went to Lu Jingzhou's room to get books.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhou was reading a mathematics book, which contained many typical problems. Looking at the ideas for solving the problems, he gained a lot of understanding. This type of problem could be solved in this way!
Just when he was about to copy down the ideas for solving the problem, Wu Chunmei took the book off the table.
"Auntie?" Lu Jingzhou raised his eyes, his clear and clear eyes filled with confusion.
With an apology on her face, Wu Chunmei looked at Lu Jingzhou and said helplessly: "That damn girl needs to take the books back, otherwise she won't let Nian Nian enter the house. She said that this set of books would cost five hundred yuan if left outside. I can't even hold it in my hands." If I don’t have five hundred, I’ll buy it for you.”
Lu Jingzhou stretched out his hand to protect the book.
"You can't take this book away. How about five hundred yuan? I'll ask grandma."
He got up and walked towards the living room, holding Wei Honghong's hand and saying a lot of words.
Wei Honghong's expression changed three times, and she said for a long time: "Our family doesn't have that much money, and the only money we have is reserved for you as a betrothal gift."
"Grandma, I'm not in a hurry to get married now. These books are very useful. You can take out as many as you can. Otherwise, take as much as you can first. Borrow the rest from Aunt Wu. When I have the ability, I will return it to Wu. Auntie, I can write an IOU."
"One hundred and fifty, I still plan to give it to you as a betrothal gift. No matter how much it is, our family really doesn't have it. When your brother-in-law and sister-in-law were studying, they had already wiped out all the money." Wei Honghong opened her mouth and said slowly.
The tips of Lu Jingzhou's ears turned red when he heard this, and Junyi's face became a little shy. There was a big difference between one hundred and fifty and five hundred, so he was embarrassed to show it out, but his family was like that.
She looked helplessly at Wu Chunmei: "Auntie, look at the situation..."
"To put it together, I made some money from selling cicada monkeys before, and it's half of it in total." Wu Chunmei said, one hundred and fifty is too little, she can fill the hole, but the money does not come from strong winds.
Wei Honghong raised her eyebrows when she heard this. One hundred and fifty is already a lot. Is it a book made of gold? Sold over a hundred.
Lu Jingzhou reacted quickly and held her down: "Auntie, can you do it with two hundred? More is really not possible. I happen to have fifty in my hand. I originally planned to spend it when I took Nian Nian out to play, but now I am nervous about money. Nian Nian I will wrong you after reading this."
Lu Jingzhou looked at Su Nian and said the second half of the sentence.
His eyes were extremely serious and affectionate when he spoke, and Su Nian was instantly bewitched.
She really liked Lu Jingzhou, especially after eating the forbidden fruit, she always wanted to do it again, but she didn't dare. Her mother said she couldn't have the child, otherwise she would have no choice.
"Okay, just two hundred." Wu Chunmei smiled. Two hundred has achieved its goal. Any more will cause problems.
Lu Jingzhou asked Wei Honghong to take the money. Wei Honghong muttered for a long time before taking out the money.
Wu Chunmei took the money and said: "Our family Jianguo said that the child's marriage will be decided in these two days."
Wei Honghong held Wu Chunmei's hand and talked a lot. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have never had any trouble, and they talked as if they were a family.
Lu Jingzhou stood aside and watched calmly.
Su Nian slowly lowered his head.
Wu Chunmei left her mouth, and Wei Hong's face was red and the old man was eating salad.
His eyes fell on Lu Jingzhou: "Wu Chunmei is so scheming. It's not easy to have a mother-in-law like this."
"Grandma, Aunt Wu is smart, but Su Nian is not. Aunt Wu is just a daughter. If we need money in the future, we only need to give Su Nian a beating and she will ask for it from Aunt Wu. In the long run, there is nothing wrong with this marriage. of.
However, I like Su Mingruan better. She is smart enough to get into college by herself, and she will be more helpful to me in the future. "
Lu Jingzhou analyzed it.
After the analysis, there was regret on his face. He heard Su Nian's suggestion earlier and took advantage of it, thinking that he could get Su Mingruan.
Now……
In fact, there is no chance.
As long as Su Nian gets pregnant and gives birth to the child, she will have no choice but to listen to him for the rest of her life.
As for him, whether he wants to marry her or not will be decided later.
If it were in this gap, it would be better to capture Su Mingruan.
Wei Honghong's old face stretched even longer, and she kept turning over and over again with the surname Su. No matter how she looked down on that family.
In the county town.
Su Mingruan has already chosen three courtyards for Su Jianguo to choose from.
Su Jianguo picked one he liked. Before he could make up his mind, his daughter took him to go through the formalities. He took the house book and was stunned.
He just came over to look at the house, why did he buy it?
He has a house in the county.
"Dad, when you get home, don't mention buying a house. Just say that we rented it. Otherwise, Aunt Wu will be angry when she hears that you bought a house and doesn't discuss it with her. No matter how good your temper is, we have opened a hair salon. You After you earn money, buy a yard for Su Nian, and then confess to Aunt Wu, and she will understand you better."
Su Mingruan took Su Jianguo's hand and persuaded him.
Su Jianguo...
My daughter is acting weird today.
But he felt that this was quite reasonable.
After buying the house, he still had more than 1,000 yuan left in his hand, which seemed to be insufficient if he wanted to open a hair salon.
