good old days

Chapter 57 50 yuan

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was another quarrel at home. Although it greatly affected the mood, but the eldest daughter and son-in-law were there, Chen Xiuyun still cooked dinner at night. In addition to the hot leftovers, he also fried cabbage and meat, and made another pot dumpling.

There are deep-fried dough sticks, steamed buns with red dates sandwiched in white noodles, and dumplings and vegetables, which can be eaten by several people with their stomachs open.Compared with the original owner's memory of eating meat less often and never enjoying it, Jiang Xinyu's sense of happiness is in contrast.

We enjoyed eating here, and Zhang Fengmei and Jiang Guisheng's family next door were also discussing while eating.

"His father, my sister-in-law's house was sold to people in the brigade for 200 yuan, so we might as well buy it."

Zhang Fengmei was thinking about her two sons. Her twin sons were about to marry their wives. Isn't that small courtyard just right?
Jiang Guisheng took a sip of the sweet potato porridge, "We don't have any money."

Zhang Fengmei said as a matter of course: "Let the parents tell the sister-in-law that it's cheaper, and it won't hurt to take it down."

Jiang Guisheng asked, "How cheap?"

Zhang Fengmei made a gesture of "five".

50 yuan is really not a loss, Jiang Guisheng nodded in his heart, thinking that this matter can be done.

Jiang Baoqin originally wanted to say that there was no need for the yard. After two years, he would be able to do business, and self-employed businesses would spring up like mushrooms. When he made money, he could build a big tile-roofed house in the village. What a small courtyard. cake?But Jiang Baoqin thought about it again, even if she said it, her parents would not listen to her, and would say that she didn't understand anything.

Jiang Baoqin didn't make a sound, Zhang Fengmei saw her in a blink of an eye and said, "Keep a distance between you and the Song Zhiqing from the educated youth spot, and the ones in the cowshed, stay away from me!"

Zhang Fengmei thought, it's time to give her daughter a good look, as Jiang Zhenzhen married so well, she should at least marry her daughter to the town!Can those educated youths be reliable?She would not agree with Jiang Baoqin's association with educated youths.

Jiang Baoqin didn't say anything in front of the family, and when Jiang Guisheng went to find Mrs. Li, she went into the room and said to her mother, "Mom, Song Zhiqing's family is in a good condition, and the family is in the capital. A watch on his wrist is at least more than 100 yuan. Block, what's wrong with him?"

Zhang Fengmei poked her head with hatred, "No matter how good his family's conditions are, what does it have to do with you? Not to mention whether he will start a family in the country, if he can return to the city, will he take you with him?"

Jiang Baoqin knows that the college entrance examination will resume next year. She is studying hard now. Although she graduated from junior high school, she is determined to go to the capital. Brother Song's attitude towards her is getting better and better. If you marry Jiang Xinyu, you can't marry her in this life?
Jiang Baoqin made up her mind that no matter what her mother said, she would not listen, and she had to get a certificate from Song Minghan before the college entrance examination resumed. She is now seventeen and not yet old enough to get a marriage certificate.

At Ma Meili's house, Jiang Guisheng went into Mrs. Li's and Mrs. Jiang's rooms, and Ma Meili eavesdropped at the door.

Seeing her sneaking around, Jiang Youfu asked her in a low voice what she was doing.

Ma Meili pulled Jiang Youfu into their room, "The third brother is talking about buying a sister-in-law's house."

Ma Meili and Jiang Youfu had nothing to do with today's matter. Ma Meili wanted the house, but her family had a small population. When Jiang Pandi got married, her house would be enough to live in.

"The third younger brother has the idea of ​​asking his parents to pay for it. Doesn't it mean that we are at a disadvantage if our parents pay for it?"

Ma Meili's logic is that since her parents live with them and are raised by them, the private money should theoretically be left to her family in the future!Whose family is separated, isn't that the case?The separated son can be helped, but shouldn't he be kept close first?
In Ma Meili's view, Jiang Guisheng's behavior was to take money from her pocket.

Jiang Guisheng didn't say anything for a while, he knew that his parents were biased, and it was impossible to say that he had no complaints, but if his parents wanted to use their private money to help the third child, what could he do?

"I heard just now that the third child said to buy the yard of my sister-in-law's house for 50 yuan." Ma Meili's eyes sparkled.

Jiang Youfu was shocked, "50 yuan? Why did the third brother open his mouth? My sister-in-law will not agree. Someone in the 200 yuan team will definitely buy it. Why sell it to him for 50 yuan?"

Ma Meili said: "This is the house of our old Jiang's family. Everyone in the team knows what kind of mother-in-law is. I don't think this house is easy to sell. The third brother will give fifty, and we will give one hundred. If the sister-in-law can't sell it, it will Can't you sell it to us?"

Jiang Youfu looked at his mother-in-law, "Where did you get the money? Also, if the sister-in-law can't sell it, she can live by herself. I can't see it and sell it cheap."

Ma Meili said: "We don't have more than 60 in our hands. I'll go back to my mother's house to see if I can borrow some more. If it's not possible, you can ask your parents to borrow some more."

Jiang Youfu shook his head, his parents would lend it to the third brother, it was because the two sons of the third brother's family were about to marry a wife, and there was no shortage of housing in his family, so the parents would definitely not agree.

"I think you should stop thinking about it. What do you want to do with the yard? It's not good to have trouble with your sister-in-law."

Ma Meili said confidently, "If the sister-in-law really sells the house to the third child for 50 yuan, will we lose money? Why not sell it to us? At least the sister-in-law has no enmity with our family."

Ma Meili is a person with a lot of small thoughts, and she is not a villain. Although Chen Xiuyun sometimes does not like to see her, but generally speaking, Chen Xiuyun is more willing to deal with her than Mrs. Li and Zhang Fengmei.

Before Jiang Guisheng came out of Mrs. Li's room, Ma Meili went to Chen Xiuyun's house without stopping.

Xiao Hei's cry made Jiang Xinyu open the door and poke her head in. After Ma Meili entered the room, she pulled Chen Xiuyun to inform her.

Ma Meili's plan is very simple. As long as the sister-in-law thinks that 50 yuan is too little, and she can't sell it at that time, she will say 80 yuan, and the sister-in-law will definitely agree.

Jiang Xinyu and the three sisters were speechless when they heard the 50 yuan. Thanks to the third uncle who could open his mouth, he lost all face.

Jiang Zhenzhen's anger that had just subsided came out again. When she was at her mother's house, her father was still alive, so why didn't she find that third uncle was so shameless.

Jiang Zhenzhen told the two sisters, and went out to find Zhang Hua in the hut in the yard.

The custom here is that a married girl brings a man back to her mother's house, and cannot live together at night. Jiang Zhenzhen sleeps with Chen Xiuyun at night, and Zhang Hua has already laid down in the hut to rest.

"Zhenzhen, why are you here?"

Jiang Zhenzhen talked about what happened just now, and then said: "I want to discuss with you. I want to lend my mother 100 yuan. If the house is sold by then, I will need money to build a new house. My mother must not have enough money." , Mom didn’t talk to me, but I felt uncomfortable and wanted to do something for them.”

Her young couple both have wages, but they have to hand over half of their wages to the family every month, but they eat and drink at home, and there is nothing to spend money on. It can be said that the couple have more money than Chen Xiuyun.

Since it was private money, Jiang Zhenzhen didn't intend to tell her mother-in-law about it, and now she is asking for Zhang Hua's opinion.
