Chapter 116 To live up to my father-in-law’s trust

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

After dinner, when his wife and sister washed the dishes, Deng Yuntai waved to her and said, "Pingmei, come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Xiuping wiped her wet hands on her pants and walked towards him while asking, "Brother Tai, what's the matter?"

When she came over, Deng Yuntai put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her into the house while saying, "I'll tell you inside."

People in this era were still more reserved in terms of feelings. Even couples rarely held hands in front of others, unlike those lovers in later generations. Let alone holding hands, it was not strange to kiss in a crowded square.

Although Deng Yuntai did not hold Zhang Xiuping's hand now, he still made her feel very embarrassed to put his hand on her shoulder in front of her younger brother and sister.

Moreover, after entering the house, Deng Yuntai closed the door, which made Zhang Xiuping blush, thinking that he wanted to do something with her at this time!

So, Zhang Xiuping said in a low voice: "Brother Tai, my brothers and sisters are all watching, what are you doing!"

Deng Yuntai took out the huge sum of money of more than 180 yuan from his pocket, handed it over with a smile and said: "Pingmei, look at what this is?"

Zhang Xiuping reached out to take the stack of money handed over by her husband, and said in surprise: "Brother Tai, what is this?"

Deng Yuntai said with a smile: "This is my salary for this month."

Zhang Xiuping rolled her eyes at him: "You give your salary to Dad, do you still need me to transfer it to you?"

Deng Yuntai said: "Dad said that I have started a family, and I don't need to give my salary to him anymore. I asked me to take it back and save it for you."

"Ah? What did you say?" Zhang Xiuping wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Deng Yuntai smiled and repeated the words again.

After confirming that she had heard it right, Zhang Xiuping's face was full of shock.

In this era, the father-in-law and mother-in-law have absolute authority. Some powerful mothers-in-law even manage the dowry of their daughters-in-law. Before the family is divided, no matter whether the son or daughter-in-law earns money, most of it must be handed over to the parents, and the small amount left must also be approved by the parents.

Zhang Xiuping was already aware of this situation before she got married.

So, she never thought about managing her husband's wages, which was simply impossible.

But she never expected that something she thought was impossible would happen. Her father-in-law actually let her manage such a large sum of money when she just married in. He was so good to her that she could not say anything. To be able to meet such a father-in-law, her family's ancestral graves must be smoking!

Seeing his wife's shocked face, Deng Yuntai couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.

Zhang Xiuping came back to her senses, reached out and patted him gently, and said coquettishly: "Hate!"

The two are still newlyweds, and seeing his wife's coquettish appearance, Deng Yuntai can't control his hands...

After a while, Zhang Xiuping pushed him away with a red face and said: "Brother Tai, did I really keep the money?"

Deng Yuntai recalled the feeling just now, and said with unsatisfied meaning: "Keep it, I will bring it back to you when I get paid in the future."

Zhang Xiuping pursed her lips and said as if swearing: "Brother Tai, don't worry, I will definitely keep the money and not spend a penny carelessly."

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "The money that should be spent should still be spent."

Zhang Xiuping didn't say anything more, but took the money back to the cabinet and locked it, but she made up her mind not to spend money carelessly, nor to take money from her own family without principles, and must live up to her father-in-law's trust in her.

Deng Changmei's home

Deng Shirong was surrounded by several parents whose children had reached the marriageable age. They all hoped that Deng Shirong could help their children find a suitable partner, including Deng Changyuan's father Deng Yuncai.

After dealing with the other parents, Deng Shirong looked at Deng Yuncai and said, "Yuncai, I have found a pretty good partner for your A Yuan, but before I help your A Yuan find a match, I have to tell you something from my heart. Your family has to build a new house quickly, otherwise the housing is so tight. Even if the girl doesn't mind, her parents probably won't agree to her marrying in."

Deng Yuncai was happy and worried. He was happy that Uncle Jiu had found a good partner for his A Yuan without saying anything. He was worried that the family's financial conditions were really not good. If he used the money to build a new house, he would have no money to marry his son.

"Uncle Jiu, I know what you are talking about, but my family is in trouble and I can't do anything about it."

Deng Shirong said, "Ayuan has been working in the tile factory for several months and has received a lot of wages. It shouldn't be difficult to build a house, right?"

Deng Yuncai smiled bitterly and said, "If I use the money to build a house, I won't have money to marry Ayuan in a short time!"

Deng Shirong said, "Yuncai, as the old saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Your family has no place to live now. It's useless even if you are in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law. Which parent is willing to do that? There won't even be a place for my daughter to live after she marries me?"

Deng Yuncai sighed and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are right. We must build a house. We had planned to build the eldest son's house by the end of the year. When the couple moves to the new house, there will be space for Yuan to get married.

But with your new house as an example, my eldest son no longer wants to build a mud brick house. He also wants to build a blue brick and tile house. But how can my family afford a blue brick and tile house? So the plan to build a new house has been temporarily stopped."

Good guy, Deng Shirong didn't expect that A Yuan's family didn't build a new house because of him. He knew how fast our country would develop next, so it was naturally impossible for him to persuade the other party to continue building that kind of backward mud-brick house, so he said: "Build a new house." If a large brick house like mine has only two or three rooms, three to five hundred yuan is enough.

Of course, after building this house, you can't just give it to your eldest son, but at least give A Yuan a room, so that I can be a matchmaker for him. "

Deng Yuncai nodded and said: "I know this. Now it's A Yuan who makes the money. If we spend so much money to build a house without his share, it will definitely not work."

Deng Shirong said: "Anyway, let's build the house as soon as possible. Once the house is built, I will take care of A Yuan's marriage. I will definitely find a satisfactory partner for him."

Deng Yuncai nodded again and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Uncle Jiu. It's definitely too late this year. We'll try to build a new house after next spring."

Deng Shirong couldn't help but remind: "Yuncai, if your family is in trouble now, don't just focus on the farmland at home. Raise more chickens, ducks, geese, and more pigs. Now the state has loosened control on this aspect." Now you can keep it with peace of mind, it will be worth the money if you sell it!”

Deng Yuncai smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, I have this plan. After hearing what you said, I feel more confident. I will raise more chickens, ducks, and pigs later on."
