"Nowadays, who wants to marry a daughter-in-law without making three turns and one sound? Your family only has a sewing machine and a bicycle and wants to marry my daughter?

I tell you, it's impossible! "

"Look at this sewing machine. Oh my god, it's still an old one! Isn't this the sewing machine you used at home and moved it here?"

"Qiangzi, you are also an aunt and I watched you grow up. Don't say I'm mean. After all, who has an easy time raising a daughter?

Moreover, she was introduced to the candy factory in our county, and she will be the one holding the iron rice bowl from now on;

If you want to marry my Huijuan, you can add two hundred yuan for three turns and one ring, not a penny less. "

In a courtyard with wooden shelves and yellow mud walls and straw roofs,

A thick-set woman wearing a red plaid shirt kept spitting at Shu Zhiqiang, who was silent.

"Xiuying, I am a strong man. I can do a lot of farm work as your son-in-law, right?"

Besides, you have already agreed on this betrothal gift, how can you add it temporarily? "

Seeing the woman's sarcastic look, the expressions on the faces of relatives and friends in the village were not to mention how ugly they were.

There is indeed a saying that marriage in this era has three turns and one ring, but it is not absolute.

In villages like theirs under the jurisdiction of the Changhu Brigade, there are many people who get married as soon as they turn around or ring the bell and pay dozens of yuan.

After all, with a half-son-in-law, it would be good to help him with farm work.

It is rare in the village for someone like Xu Xiuying to change her mind and ask for a bride price.

“Xiuying, it’s not like you don’t know the conditions of our family;

Qiangzi’s father works outside, and the money he sends back is just that little, which is just enough to keep Qiangzi and his siblings from going hungry;

Although I have used this sewing machine for a few years, the bicycle is brand new and I really can’t take out the rest;

Do you think if this is not the case, can Qiangzi make money to replenish the rest for you in the future? "

Shu Zhiqiang's mother, Xiong Fengxia, stepped forward and took Xu Xiuying's hand, saying with a pleading look on her face.

The eldest daughter is married, and now she only hopes that the eldest son can successfully marry a wife, no matter how wronged she is, she is willing to do so.

"Who will follow you! How can I marry a wife if I don't have money?

Our Huijuan is so outstanding that the young men who want to marry her line up from the Changhu Brigade to the Niugang Catching Brigade;

Who doesn't know what a bastard your son is? I just know how to fool around all day long;

I can agree to marry my daughter to your family because I am a fellow villager in my hometown. Are you still going to give me an IOU? "

Xu Xiuying's snobbish face was on full display, and she pushed Xiong Fengxia out with a curse.

The current courtyard dam is no better than the concrete floor in the future. There are potholes everywhere.

Xiong Fengxia was pushed back two steps and fell to the ground before she could stand firmly.

"Mom!!" Shu Zhiqiang finally came to his senses and quickly stretched out his hand to support his mother.

"Mom, are you okay?" After holding his mother steady, Shu Zhiqiang looked at Xu Xiuying angrily.

"Xu Xiuying! You old guy is looking for death, aren't you?"

Looking at the surrounding environment and the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the paper, he was sure that he was reborn, and that he was reborn to the day of delivering the betrothal gift to Fu Huijuan's family.

It was on this day that Xu Xiuying doubled the originally agreed upon betrothal gift again.

Not only did Shu Zhiqiang have to bring out another radio and watch, but he also had to add another two hundred yuan.

You must know that this is the era of 1983, when the per capita salary is thirty or forty, these things are worth a lot of money.

The reason why Xu Xiuying dared to add a temporary gift was because Fu Huijuan found a job in a candy factory in the city through someone's introduction.

It was said to be twenty or thirty yuan a month, but after getting married, Fu Huijuan used it to subsidize her parents' family.

But what about Shu Zhiqiang’s family? In his previous life, because of these temporary betrothal gifts, his parents borrowed everything they could.

His eldest sister who married into the city even spent all the money she had spent on treating her parents-in-law, but was accidentally beaten to death by her brother-in-law.

The autopsy results at that time showed that his sister was more than two months pregnant at that time.

Finally, in order to pay off the debt, my younger brother went to work outside with his father when he was fifteen or sixteen. In the end, he was too tired and was crushed to death by a machine due to an operating error.

It was not easy to marry Fu Huijuan, but this woman was full of bad habits.

He is so lazy that he just doesn't do anything at home. He also takes advantage of Shu Zhiqiang's absence to make things difficult for his eight-year-old sister.

At that time, Shu Zhiqiang wanted to beat Fu Huijuan to death. After all, he was not a good person.

But the other party said at that time that she was pregnant, which directly hit the Shu family's weakness.

Shu Zhiqiang's education was not high, and the atmosphere at the time did not allow him to think too much about the other side, nor did he doubt whether it was his own seed.

The whole family regarded the pregnant Fu Huijuan as a treasure and gradually ignored her sister's feelings.

Finally, the younger sister couldn't bear Fu Huijuan's troubles and committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

If he hadn't been saved by a passing female teacher, the consequences could be imagined.

Shu Zhiqiang lived in guilt and self-blame all his life. In the end, perhaps it was retribution that caused him to suffer from liver failure in his fifties.

It wasn't until he died that he understood that Fu Huijuan was not only dishonest before marrying her,

, she will be equally dishonest after marrying him,

Of the three sons, none of them were his own, and he didn't even know who the adulterer was.

"Little beast! How do you talk? Have you ever talked to an elder like this?"

Originally, Xu Xiuying was a little unreasonable about pushing Xiong Fengxia down, but after hearing Shu Zhiqiang's words, she immediately became angry.

She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Shu Zhiqiang with the other hand: "Okay! The true colors are revealed, right?"

"My Huijuan hasn't married you yet, so you dare to insult her mother and me, and say that I'm looking for death?

If Huijuan marries you, will she still have a good life in the future?

Originally, I wanted to save you the bride price of ten or eight yuan for the sake of the village;

Now let me tell you, I will never marry Huijuan to you! "

Hearing this, Xiong Fengxia immediately panicked and quickly pulled Shu Zhiqiang's arm.

"Quick, Qiangzi, apologize to your mother-in-law and tell her that you just said the wrong thing."

The son is already over 20 years old, and he has finally negotiated a marriage. If it goes wrong, how can he be right with the old Shu family?

If Lao Shu came back, wouldn't she be blamed for not finishing things for her son?

"Yes, Qiangzi, apologize quickly and let this matter be over."

"Yes, yes, your mother-in-law accidentally pushed your mother, isn't that okay?

Apologize to her quickly so that you can continue talking about that girl Huijuan, right? "

The villagers sitting in the yard also spoke one after another, trying to make Shu Zhiqiang lower his head.

After all, he is the child they watched grow up, and he also hopes that Shu Zhiqiang can successfully marry his wife back.

“No, I can’t bear his apology;

And if an apology is useful, what's the point of having a red armband?

Hadron. Let me tell you, it is impossible for me to marry Huijuan to you! "

Hearing this, Xiong Fengxia wanted to go up and intercede, but was stopped by Shu Zhiqiang.

Shu Zhiqiang glanced at Xu Xiuying indifferently, and then looked at his mother: "Mom! You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it."

Xiong Fengxia nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, go and apologize to your mother-in-law."
