Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1310: Digging Out Manure

Before she finished her words, Sister Wu jumped up three feet high, pointed at her nose and started to curse: "What's wrong with my nephew? My nephew is very well-off. If we were not colleagues, I would not look down on you.

Look at your appearance, thin lips and ears, pointed chin, you have a face that is unlucky, maybe even unlucky for your husband, whoever marries you will definitely be unlucky..."

"You you you..." Xiaojuan's eyes turned red due to the scolding, but she didn't know how to scold back.

Seeing her look, Sister Wu felt proud.

He continued to curse and describe the girl as worthless.

"I'm telling you, you didn't seize this opportunity. With my nephew's conditions, he can find any good girl. It's only because we are colleagues that I want to give you a chance. Don't be so shameless..."

Sister Wu talked a lot and even repeated her nephew's conditions again.

When they heard that there were three people earning salaries in the family, many women present were tempted.

In response, Dandan on the side just snorted coldly.

"Sister Wu, we call you Sister Wu because we think you are old, please don't be shameless..."

Dandan used the insults that Sister Wu had just said back at the other person, scolding him so much that his face turned pale and blue.

Seeing this, Dandan felt much better.

She had been holding this anger in her heart for a long time and finally let it out.

She was in a better mood, and she raised her lips slightly, looking at Sister Wu sarcastically: "You only said that your nephew has a formal job, why don't you tell others clearly what kind of job your nephew does?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Sister Wu's face froze, and then a hint of guilt flashed across her face.

She subconsciously retorted: "My nephew has a good job and is a formal employee."

The more she spoke, the more confident she became. Although her nephew's job was not good, it was still a job, and a formal one at that.

There are many people who are about the same age as his nephew who still don’t have a job.

Thinking of this, Sister Wu became more confident.

She even fought back: "Don't say you are talking nonsense here just because my nephew doesn't like you. I tell you, my nephew doesn't like you, he just doesn't like you, no matter what you say, my nephew will never marry you. It was like this when you were a little girl, let alone getting married now."

Sister Wu said this, and made a disgusting face, advising: "I know my nephew is excellent, and I also know that you like my nephew, but you are married after all, and some things are in the past. The most important thing for you now is to live your life well and not cheat on your husband."

Hearing this and feeling the gazes of the people around her, Dandan was so angry that she laughed.

She pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief: "I like your nephew, haha, hahaha! You actually said that I like your nephew, haha, hahaha! Do you want to make me laugh to death?

You don't even know what your nephew is like, and yet you say that I have a crush on him.

Why would I fall for your nephew? Is it because he earns less than twelve bucks a month, or because he is 1 meters tall, or because he looks old before his time..."

After being retorted like this, Sister Wu looked a little unhappy.

She threatened: "Don't talk nonsense, my nephew is tall and not bad looking."

“Haha!” Dandan sneered: “Your family has a very low standard for good looks. Just look at your nephew’s pig-like appearance. People who don’t know him would think he is a wild boar that has turned into a spirit. He has a fat head and big ears, and he smells bad…”

"You you you..." This time, it was Sister Wu who was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, everyone present felt happy.

This Sister Wu relied on her age to bully them and even took advantage of them from time to time.

But she is good at pretending. Whenever the leader is around, she pretends to be warm-hearted and likes to help others, so that the leader will have a preconceived impression that she is a good comrade.

It was as if he didn't hear what everyone said.

Seeing her being humiliated, everyone almost couldn't help laughing.

"Haha!" Dandan snorted again: "As for what you said about your nephew being tall, that's nonsense."

As he spoke, Dandan acted as if he was shocked.

"Sisters, sisters, aunts, and aunties present here, do you know that I was also deceived by Sister Wu and went to meet her?

Do you know how tall this Sister Wu's nephew is? "

What Dandan said was so meaningful.

Everyone present looked at each other, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

A colleague who was familiar with Dandan urged: "Dandan, you guys are still keeping us in suspense, hurry up and tell us."

Seeing this, Sister Wu's face tightened and she wanted to end the topic quickly.

If my nephew's affairs get out, how will he find a wife in the future?

She had promised her sister-in-law that she would find a good wife for her nephew.

"Go away, go away, let's get back to work!" Sister Wu wanted everyone to leave.

But these people who supply and market have to stay in the same room every day and they are already bored to death.

It's rare to have something exciting to watch at this time, how could I give it up?
They simply ignored the unhappiness on Sister Wu's face.

He urged again: "Dandan, stop hiding it and tell me now."

After failing to expel everyone, Sister Wu looked at Dandan with anger and warned her not to talk nonsense!

Dandan acted as if she was frightened.

She patted her chest and smiled gently as Sister Wu's eyes widened with envy.

“The high that Sister Wu mentioned should be different from everyone else’s.

I was almost scared at the time. I couldn't believe there was such a short man. I was already short among women, but the nephew of the fifth sister was not as tall as me when he stood up. If Sister Wu hadn't said that her nephew was already 25, I would have thought that the boy I was dating was or years old. I was muttering in my heart, Sister Wu is too anxious. How old is her nephew, and he is in a hurry to get married. "

"Ah!" Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

"Is he really not as tall as you?" someone asked in disbelief.

Although it's not as outrageous as what Dandan said, there is one thing Dandan said that is indeed correct: she is considered short among women.

What if I’m not as tall as her?
Everyone's expression changed. He was so tiny, how could he still be considered a man?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Dandan added quietly, "He weighs 200 pounds!"

When these words came out, everyone opened their mouths in shock.

Someone blinked, unable to imagine what the other person looked like.

He has a pig-like face, is half a head shorter than Dandan, and weighs 200 pounds. They could understand these words, but when they were put together, they were inexplicably confused about the meaning of these words.

After a long silence, a slightly sharp female voice sounded: "Is this still a human being? Isn't it just a pig?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sister Wu, who was like a deflated balloon, suddenly looked towards the person who spoke.

She glared at the other person fiercely.

But the man who spoke was not afraid at all.

She and Sister Wu didn't get along well in the first place, and it was a rare occasion when she saw her embarrass herself, and she would feel guilty for her past self if she didn't get involved.

The man who spoke looked at Dandan and said meaningfully: "Dandan, you said something wrong."

Dandan looked at her in confusion. The man who spoke said with a mocking look on his face: "Your sister Wu's nephew's family conditions should not be bad, it should be said that they are very good. After all, every family is hungry these days, and if the conditions are a little worse, they can't raise a 200-pound son."

Dandan suddenly realized, and then agreed: "Sister, you are really insightful. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought of this. It seems that Sister Wu is not speaking the truth. At least his nephew's family conditions should not be bad."

The man who spoke looked at Dandan with a teachable look.

"You are still young, and you may not be thorough enough in thinking about some things. It doesn't matter. There is still a lot of time in the future. Just learn slowly."

Dandan: "Then I need to learn more from you. You are really good at looking beyond the surface to the essence."

"Haha, hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was amused by the conversation between the two.

Sister Wu's face turned livid and she looked at everyone with murderous eyes.

"Don't be complacent. My nephew is a regular employee after all. My brother and sister-in-law also have jobs. Who here has three people earning a salary?"

This is also what Sister Wu is most proud of.

Her younger brother, sister-in-law and nephew all have jobs, so her in-laws give her more face because of this.

After she said that, the laughter in the room faded a little.

Many people looked unhappy.

It is indeed as Ms. Wu said, there may not be three people earning a salary in their family.

This time, it was Sister Wu who was proud.

She put her hands on her hips and looked at everyone, with an unstoppable look of pride on her face.

"My nephew is a formal employee after all. With three people in his family earning wages, their life is so comfortable."

As she spoke, she looked down at Xiaojuan and Dandan: "It's just that you two girls are unlucky. Do you know that my brother has prepared a betrothal gift of 188 yuan and a bicycle for my nephew."

When these words were spoken, everyone was slightly shocked.

In this day and age, 188 yuan is indeed not a small amount of money for a bride price.

Although Beijing is the capital, the bride price and dowry are slightly higher than in other places.

But the general price ranges from more than 10 yuan to fifty or sixty yuan.

Of course, if the girl has a job, she will bring the job back to her husband's family.

In order to show the importance of the girl, the bride price will be much higher.

As for what many people call "three turns and one ring" or "thirty legs", it depends on the situation of each family.

But it's only 188 yuan, and it comes with a bicycle, which is considered relatively high in the current wedding market.

There was a woman who looked unfriendly at first glance and rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of something?
She doesn't like Sister Wu's nephew, but maybe someone else does.

Her family favors boys over girls, and her brother had six or seven daughters before he had a son.

He is naturally very loving towards his sons and very disgusted with his daughters.

Because there were many children in the family and she felt that her brothers had a hard time, she often secretly subsidized her parents' family. Her husband was often angry with her because of this.

Several children were also unhappy.

If she could introduce a wealthy family to her niece, maybe she wouldn't have to subsidize her family in the future.

The more the woman thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possible solution.

As for the appearance of Sister Wu's nephew, she had long ignored it.

Even if it is not ignored, it is nothing in the woman's eyes.

Marry a man to get clothes and food!
How can a girl marry someone just based on his appearance? Nowadays, it is considered a good marriage if the man is good and the girl can have enough food to eat after marrying him.

Although Sister Wu's nephew is a little ugly in appearance, his family is capable, with three people earning a salary, and the bride price is high.

In addition to this, the woman has her own little thoughts.

Judging from Sister Wu’s appearance, her brother and sister-in-law should be quite old.

When Sister Wu's brother and sister-in-law retire, my niece can only take over one job, so the remaining job will be vacant, right?

If I talk it over properly then it might be possible to transfer the job to my nephew from my mother's side.

She had already made up her mind that if she could really make this marriage happen, her sister-in-law would have to support her in the future.

Her mother would also praise her.

The more the woman thought about it, the happier she became. She wished she could rush up and finalize the marriage.

Apart from anything else, she has already prepared the betrothal gift from the man for her parents' family.

My parents’ family will have to rely on my niece for advice in the future, so I can’t hurt her feelings.

So I have to take some of the 188 yuan betrothal gift back to my niece.

As for how much to bring, she doesn't care.

As long as you have it, it’s fine!
Anyway, as long as my niece doesn't take it out, no one else can see it. It's just a matter of a word from my niece as to how much to take back.

For example, when she got married, her husband's family gave her six silver dollars and two bags of grain. Her mother took one silver dollar back for her as a treasure. She told others that she brought back eight silver dollars, which made her husband's family very satisfied with her.

As for when someone says they need money, isn't that revealing the truth?

The woman said with disdain that the dowry belonged to the girl herself, and if the husband's family had any dignity, they would never try to take the dowry of their daughter-in-law.

She is not a pushover and would never allow her husband's family to take her dowry.

When the time comes, I will let my niece bring 18 back. It will be a good omen for prosperity as well.

On the surface, he just said that he let his niece take everything back.

As for the bicycle, my mother's family lives in the village and we don't need to ride a bicycle on a daily basis.

It's just right. When the time comes, I can lend her the bicycle. It can be considered as a thank-you gift to her, and it will be worth all my worrying about her family.

The woman can now imagine how many envious looks she will get when she rides a bicycle to work.

I can only say that this woman has a very good idea!

Just when she was thinking about how to get along well with Sister Wu and get her to agree to meet him, things took another turn.

Dandan wiped her face and looked at Sister Wu with a smile.

Looking at Dandan's expression, Sister Wu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the other party knew something.
Dandan crossed her arms and just looked at Sister Wu, watching her subconsciously avoid her sight.

She covered her mouth and pretended to laugh: "You have the nerve to say that your nephew has a formal job."

As she said this, she slapped her lips.

"Oh, no, look at my mouth, I really said it wrong just now, your nephew does have a formal job."
