Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 459 Chapter 450 Eighth: Saving Money

Wu Jin's father was able to do it when he was around, relying on an ox cart, saved a lot of property for the family, built a house of blue bricks and tiles, and begged for a wife for his son, and there is only such a son, so life is not too poor .

Until Friday, Jin is a down-to-earth person who manages his own household. Except for strong wind, rain and snow, he has to go to town every day, and he never takes a day off.

Saving money bit by bit, a family of four with four mouths open will never be short of food throughout the year.

At least if you want to eat meat, you can buy a catty for two catties, and you can make two new clothes for two children in a year.

Therefore, the days of the Zhou family in Songshan Village were at the top of the list.

Therefore, Man Ju never thought that her son would not be able to talk about a good marriage.

But the son himself likes pear blossoms. For his son, she is willing too. Regardless of the troubles of the Zhang family, she went to beg for pear blossoms for her son, and even gave her ten taels of dowry. All right.

But I didn't expect that there would be a lot of things happening in the Zhang family if the marriage was certain.

First, Uncle Dou became paralyzed for some reason (it is said that he was a moth who wanted to force Brother Donggua to get money back to supplement the boss Brother Donggua, who was unwilling to compromise this time and was paralyzed by anger).

Then Aunt Deng made the main division of the family, and before the family was clearly separated, the official came suddenly, saying that someone sued that Uncle Dou had killed Uncle Big Hammer.

Like her, many people in the village knew that Brother Donggua was not the real son of Uncle Dou, but Aunt Deng and Uncle Dachui, but they had never met Uncle Dachui. Never came back either.

So when this incident happened, everyone was quite shocked, especially since the evidence was convincing and the body of Uncle Big Hammer was dug from Songshan Mountain.

Then Uncle Dou was taken away, sentenced and convicted.

The Zhang family also completely split up. Brother Donggua returned to the Li family, inherited the household registration of the Li family, and became Li Donggua.

If you don't work as a long-term worker in the Cheng family, you can come back and live your own life.

At that time, she was quite happy for her future in-laws.

I didn't think about it, how long has it been? Li Yang is a capable kid. He bought a house for his family and set up a shop. Not to mention, Lihua's mother is also a real person, and she can also embroider and make clothes. Even the grandma of the Cheng family likes it.

Man Ju can imagine that their clothing store is open, and with Grandma Cheng taking care of the business, it will definitely be prosperous.

At that time, Li's family will often open a shop in the town, and Lihua will be the shopkeeper's daughter. It seems that their family is really unworthy.

As the saying goes, bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law, but raise your head to marry a daughter.

If their family was much worse than Li's, it would be difficult to look up when the stone was placed back in front of Lihua.

In Man Ju's heart, she really couldn't help thinking about it.

When I got back, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and turned out all my belongings.

She has been married to Wujin for so many years. At that time, she had some money left by her father-in-law. Wujin has never stopped selling goods to make money in these years. She gave birth to two children, and she spent a lot of money, but she saved it. some.

Last year, I gave ten taels of dowry, bought another ox cart for five taels, and bought a lot of things for the New Year.

There is not much money in hand now.

Man Ju counted the silver coins in the box twice, and there were only three silver ingots and a few strings of copper plates, nothing more.

This little money is not enough.

She sighed, and when Friday Jin and his son came back in the evening, she called the two to discuss it.

"Brother Donggua's family has opened a shop in the town, and his family bought a house in the town. I heard that Ayang also bought a house for Lihua as a dowry. Our family can't afford it, but we won't be called Shitou in the future." Rely on Pear Blossom's dowry house?"

"I just thought that it would be great if we could also buy a small house in the town. When the time comes, those of you who drive cars and pull goods will have a place to live in the town before the weather changes, so that you don't have to spend money to stay in a hotel in a hurry, right? ? And when Shitou and Lihua get married, they can live together."

"The other day, Li Huaniang told me that she wanted to take Li Hua to learn how to embroider and make clothes. From what I heard, she wanted Li Hua to help in the tailor-made clothing store. Then she wouldn't be in the town often? There is no reason for the mother and young couple to live separately, so there is no reason for you to live in your natal family or in the dowry house of Lihua, right? It doesn’t sound good to us.”

Zhou Shitou listened and didn't speak. He already knew that Uncle Donggua and the others had mentioned that they wanted to marry Lihua next year. He could wait, but he was afraid that something might happen.

The Lihua family has opened a shop in the town, so he has to work hard.

They also bought a small house?
How can there be so much money?
He doesn't know how much money the family has.

On Friday, the catties were roughly counted, and he shook his head and said: "Even if the cheapest house in the town is in Huangkou Lane, it costs at least 20 taels to enter. Those in Huangkou Lane and Daokou Lane are basically born and bred. People in the town live there, and generally no one will sell their house, so outsiders want to buy a house in the town, starting from Yunshan Lane, the starting price of the house is at least 30 taels, We have taken out all the money in our family, and we can’t afford it now.”

Man Ju nodded, it was not enough to take out all the money, it was only eighteen taels.

The family still has to live, and the orchid's dowry money must be kept, so we can't take it all out at once.

She thought about it.

"The two Donggua brothers have this idea and want to stay in Lihua for one more year. We understand the situation in their family. Lihua spent a lot of time with his parents when he was a child. It is different when he gets married later, so they want to stay. , we can't be unwilling, we are going to be in-laws for the rest of our lives, so we need to understand each other and negotiate with each other."

"So if the wedding day is moved to after next autumn, we still have a year and a half to go! I count that you two, father and son, go to work every day as usual, and by that time, I guess you can earn the money to buy a house. "

Wu Jinyi heard that he would buy it now, it would be a year and a half away, so he also nodded.

He can earn more than a dozen taels of silver for a full year, but at worst, he will be more frugal this year.

My son is also earning. Together, the two of us will definitely be able to earn 30 taels by next autumn.

He reached out and patted his son's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Shitou, listen up? Your mother is worried that you plan to buy you a house in the town. You will have to work hard to earn money next."

Zhou Shitou nodded honestly, "Father, mother, don't worry! I will work harder to earn money!"

After hearing this, Manju said angrily: "I don't expect you to double, just get back the car money you get every day, mother is not saying that there is nothing wrong with you buying things for your future wife, but you do the math, you are sneaking every day. Keep a few copper coins on your body, that’s enough for a month, but then our family will save money to buy a house, you have to collect it, and when you get married in the future, no matter what you want to buy, you won’t even mention you.”

Zhou Shitou scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't help it, so he wanted to save some on his body every day, and when he had saved enough, he would buy something for Lihua. He thought his mother wouldn't know if his father didn't tell him.

I never thought that my mother knew it all the time, but I didn't talk about him first.

He was a little moved, and also felt quite embarrassed, so he nodded and answered honestly, not daring to reply.
