"That's good. Jinhua is pretty good at work. When the time comes, I will transfer her household registration back to our brigade, and the work points she earns should be able to support herself."

As he said that, Gu Daquan glanced at Gu Hu,

"As for the place to live, since cousin Huzi you are willing to let her live at home, there is no need to worry. So after Jinhua's divorce, as long as she can bear the gossip in the team, there will be no problem at all."

Then he changed the topic and said:

"But that's not enough. I think you want more than that. The first is the issue of dowry. Although I don't know the specific situation, Jinhua has been married for so many years, so the dowry cannot remain intact. Others Not to mention, those quilts and those boxes must have been used."

Gu Hu nodded:

"That's right, Jinhua told me. Among the quilts in her dowry, one of them was taken away by Wang Zhiming's parents not long after she got married. They said Jinhua and the others had several new quilts, and there was no shortage of quilts to cover them. . But the old couple is short of quilts in their house, so I might as well give it to them."

As he spoke, he became a little angry:

"It's so shameless. Not long after my daughter-in-law got married, her parents-in-law were worried about her dowry. Jinhua was out of filial piety, and because she was a new daughter-in-law, she couldn't conflict with her parents-in-law, so she gave it to her. After all, that was Although these quilts are considered as dowry, they are still used items. Jinhua also has several quilts, and no one will tell her that her parents-in-law are not good at her."

Gu Daquan listened patiently and continued to ask:

"Except for these quilts, what about the other dowries? Are the other dowries kept or used? If used, where were they used?"

This time it was Gu Jinhua who answered:

"Before I got married, my father and brother specially selected good wood from the mountains, and paid a carpenter to build me four boxes as a dowry. Later, after I got married, I kept the two boxes in my house. The other two were taken away by my parents-in-law. Later, Dongqiao got a little bigger, so I asked for another one from them on the pretext that I needed a box in the house to carry Dongqiao’s things.”

Gu Daquan continued to ask:

"What about the money? How much did you use for the packing money in your dowry?"

Gu Jinhua was silent for a moment and then answered:

"Uncle, you also know. I was born prematurely, and my body was not good after birth. I was always a little weak. So after I got married, I couldn't get pregnant. I had no choice but to see a doctor. But seeing a doctor requires It's a lot of money. The Wang family hasn't been separated yet, so it's naturally impossible for the father-in-law to provide me with this money. So this money will eventually come from my dowry. So the money in the box in my dowry was spent. Most of it, not much is left now.”

Gu Daquan nodded and expressed his understanding:

"You are the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. It stands to reason that after you get married, the money for your medical treatment will be paid by the Wang family. In the end, all the money was spent on you. But the Wang family will definitely not take out this money. You have a lot of money. It’s hard to go back. By the way, do you have evidence to prove that you spent your own dowry money on medical treatment?”

Gu Jinhua shook his head:

"No. But back then, my dowry money was written down and everyone saw it. So everyone knew how much my dowry was. I didn't need any money when I got married. Everyone knew that I went to see a doctor. At that time, it was because of my official business. Zhong refused to pay and asked me to use the dowry money to see a doctor. I even complained to the people from the Dongfeng Brigade at that time. So they should all know. I wonder if this can be considered as evidence? "

Gu Daquan shook his head and sighed:

"It's difficult. If you want a divorce, people from the Dongfeng Brigade may not be willing to testify for you. But everyone knows how much your dowry was back then. With this, you should be able to get some back, but it would be good to get half of it back."

Liu Lifen nodded quickly:

"As long as we can get half of the dowry back. We never thought we could get all the dowry back. Besides, Jinhua's body has been healed after all, so we can just pay this part of the money. No problem. It's still troublesome. My nephew went to help us negotiate with the Wang family. You are the captain, so it is more convenient than us."

Gu Daquan picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of tea:

"That's it. You discuss it among yourselves and find a time to catch the rapist. Once you've agreed, tell me and I'll help you with it. Okay, it's getting late, and I should go back to eat. I'll leave first. ”

"Okay, let Huzi see you off. Thank you Daquan today."

Liu Lifen quickly stood up and ordered Gu Hu to see Gu Daquan off.

Gu Hu agreed, got up and was about to send it off, but Gu Daquan refused:

"No need, uncle. I walk this brigade road every day, and I'm very familiar with it. There's no need to trouble cousin Huzi to make another trip."

When Liu Lifen saw this, she didn't insist anymore.

Gu Daquan was right, they were all from the same brigade, there was really no need to give them away again.

So she called Gu Hu and said to Gu Daquan:

"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll invite you again after we have discussed these things."

"it is good."

Gu Daquan waved his hand, turned around and left.

By the time Gu Daquan returned home, his visiting relatives had already left.

The food at home has been served, and the whole family has sat down, waiting for him alone.

Gu Daquan saw that the food on the table was still steaming, and knew that he hadn't been too late.

He came to his seat and sat down, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, and said:

"Let's eat."

Everyone couldn't wait for a long time. When they heard this, they immediately heard the sound and started to cook. For a while, the only sound left on the table was the sound of chopsticks and bowls clashing.

After having a meal as usual, Gu Daquan returned to the house and prepared to take a short rest.

He Chunlan followed him into the room, turned around and closed the door.

The couple had been together for so many years, and when Gu Daquan saw He Chunlan acting like this, he knew that she had something to say.

As for what to say? Most likely he was asking Gu Hu what he had just asked him to do.

However, Gu Daquan was not in a hurry. He slowly took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

He Chunlan couldn't help it anymore. She sat on the bedside, looked at Gu Daquan lying on the bed, and asked:

"Why is your cousin looking for you today? Has something happened? Otherwise, why are you so anxious during the Chinese New Year? You are still entertaining relatives, and he is looking for you."

Gu Daquan sighed, said nothing, and deliberately kept it secret:

"Ugh……"

He Chunlan could tell at a glance that his old habit was back again, and he liked to talk in half words and let others guess.

He Chunlan pinched him angrily and asked:

"Are you going to say it? Say it quickly!"

This twist was so severe that Gu Daquan jumped up from the bed and screamed in pain:

"Ouch, ouch, I said that's it. Just be gentle."

Only then did He Chunlan let go of Gu Daquan.
