The original owner committed suicide by jumping into a river because her parents wanted to marry her to a forty-year-old bachelor.
It is said that it is promised, but in fact it is sold.
The old bachelor won by playing with money, and he was actually asked to save 200 yuan, and he wanted to use the 200 yuan as a gift to buy the original owner.
Two hundred yuan is a very high betrothal gift.
Because getting married nowadays doesn't cost anything at all, especially in rural areas like theirs, where every household is poor and has to tighten their belts to get by, so how can they afford to marry a wife?
A dozen or twenty yuan is enough.
Most of them just carry a bag of food and forget it. If a young man is willing to give a young woman a pair of shoes or two hair ropes, this is enough and can impress the girl.
This is very common in their local area.
Therefore, the old bachelor's willingness to give two hundred yuan is naturally an extremely high gift.
But this was because the original owner was good-looking. She had one of the best looks in the ten miles and eight villages. Not only was she attractive, but she was also popular at home and abroad. She was also a golden girl. The Qiao family's parents had always wanted to marry her to a good price.
It has also been told to the outside world a long time ago that no gift of less than 500 yuan is allowed to be used on one's own daughter!
Although many people are staring at the original owner, how much money is five hundred yuan?
As long as the village has enough food for the first year, even if the money will be divided at the end of the year, how much can be divided apart from the rations for the whole family next year?
With the little money divided, won’t the whole family have to spend it?
Matches and salt, children’s tuition and miscellaneous expenses, ripping cloth to make clothes for the family, and headaches and fever, etc., etc., there is very little leftover money that can be saved. Who doesn’t have some savings? Did you save so much money on Soso?
Only families with the best conditions in big cities require three turns and one ring, and thirty-six legs.
In a country like this, whose daughter can be so valuable?
So the neighbors in eight villages within ten miles said that the Qiao family was crazy about money!
No matter how good-looking this daughter of the Qiao family is, asking someone to spend five hundred yuan to marry her in the countryside is just a pipe dream.
It was because of the threshold of five hundred yuan as a bride price that the original owner was allowed to stay from the age of sixteen to eighteen, and then from eighteen to nineteen. He was already twenty years old and had not left home yet.
The Qiao family's parents saw that this was not going to work. If this delay continued, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
So the price was reduced, from 500 yuan to 480 yuan, and finally to 450 yuan.
Seeing the Qiao family's price reduction, someone came to negotiate the price and asked if they would marry me for a gift of 200 yuan.
After all, the original owner's appearance is really unappealing. The young man's family has good conditions, but doesn't he feel itchy?
So being willing to give a high gift of two hundred is already very rare.
It's just that Qiao's parents don't want to.
Originally, the young man's family was holding their breath. Two hundred yuan was already a betrothal gift that had never been heard of in the local village. However, this daughter of the Qiao family was really good-looking, and her bastard son wanted to marry her desperately.
The family also gritted their teeth and agreed to give 200.
I don’t even want to ask for two hundred, so I’ll bite the bullet and ask for four hundred and fifty!
If people just sneer, then you can keep it for yourself!
As soon as I turned around, I started talking to another pretty and capable girl!
It was because of Qiao's parents that the original owner dragged her from twenty to twenty-two, but no one came to marry her.
These days, most people get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, some even earlier, and some later in their twenties. If the original owner is still undecided at the age of twenty-two, then she is really an old girl.
Only girls who are shabby and undesirable would be delayed to this age.
At first, some people came to bargain, but later no one even cared about it. Even the matchmaker didn't like to talk about this family's affairs.
Your Qiao family's daughter is not the only girl left in the world. Look how rare your family is!
A gift of four to five hundred dollars is not regarded as money!
With such parents, although the original owner was innocent, he was often criticized and felt great pressure in his heart.
But the Qiao family's parents didn't care about this, they were just a little angry and worried.
Because this looks like it’s really going to hit your hands!
People with good conditions have married everyone they should. Although the remaining crooked melons and jujubes are thinking about their daughters, they can't raise the money for the bride price even if they sell their entire family!
It was at this time that the old bachelor came to marry me with two hundred yuan.
Qiao's parents discussed it and finally bargained for an extra fifty yuan, two hundred and fifty yuan!
Because the eldest son happened to be getting married, he planned to accept the marriage.
The original owner was simply desperate. Not only did he work as a cow and horse for the family since he was a child, but in the end he was sold to an old bachelor with yellow teeth, a bald head, a foul smell on his body, and he would grab his crotch from time to time.
So there was a story about committing suicide by jumping into the river, and Qiao Nianyao used the corpse to resurrect and cross over!
Qiao Nianyao sat in front of the stove and warmed herself up.
What was thinking in his mind was that he was fished out by Song Qingfeng two years ago. At that time, he was also wet, and it happened to be summer. His clothes were wet and clung to his abdomen, and his top-notch figure was vaguely visible.
Moreover, he had clear eyes, full of righteousness, handsome and heroic appearance, and there were such old customs and rules in the area, and she also had to face the Qiao family's dilemma at the beginning.
After putting it all together, she proposed to marry him.
He hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
After that, the Qiao family's parents saw that Song Qingfeng was a soldier, and he was the only one in the family. Although they didn't know how much the allowance was, it was definitely not much different.
So he immediately raised the price, turning the original two hundred and fifty yuan into the original five hundred yuan.
Qiao Nianyao wants to step in to solve the problem. What kind of temper she has, can she still let the Qiao family ask for a lot of money?
Song Qingfeng was already at the level of battalion commander at the time, but he knew that he was going on a mission and it would take a long time, so he had no intention of taking her to the army.
She was going to be left alone at home from now on, so she was taken advantage of and agreed to pay 500 yuan.
His purpose was to completely buy out her bond with the Qiao family and not to bother her again in the future.
But how does this grown man know the faces of people like the Qiao family?
As soon as he left, the Qiao family came to vacate the house. (Explanation: They were beaten out directly by the heroine.)
Because before he went back, he bought a lot of things for her.
Not only did he buy a lot of food for the brigade.
He also took her into the city and bought her two new pairs of clothes. He didn't hide it from her. He told her that he would be on a mission next and wouldn't be able to come back in a short time, so even the cotton clothes he wore in winter, He took her with him to get the quilts.
Anyway, everything she needs for life is provided for her.
Including the roof of the yard at home, everything was repaired again.
He also left behind a fortune of 200 yuan, including many nationwide tickets that would not expire.
After explaining everything, he left home.
I just didn't expect that the handsome young man who was so high-spirited back then would be carried back by his comrades two years later.
