Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

The groceries cost three dollars and fifty cents, which was a huge expense for Jia Zhang. She felt very distressed.

Jia Zhang now feels that Sha Zhu's family owes her something.

Now, Sha Zhu was actually standing with Chu Rongguang, the most hateful person in her family, talking and laughing. How could Jia Zhang not be angry?

"My mother is like this, don't bother her." Jia Dongxu said to Qin Huairu.

"Yes, his mother is usually like this, but this is only towards outsiders. She is still very nice to her family." Matchmaker Wang also spoke for Jia Dongxu.

Who can't see how much Jia Dongxu likes Qin Huairu? Just now at the dinner table, Jia Dongxu kept picking up food for Qin Huairu.

"It's okay. All the aunties in the countryside are like this. They speak their mind and are honest people." Qin Huairu thought Jia Dongxu was pretty good, although he was not as good-looking as Chu Rongguang.

But Jia Dongxu had a reason that Qin Huairu could not refuse, that was that Jia Dongxu was a city dweller, had a house, a household registration, and a job in the city.

Qin Huairu already felt very satisfied with these conditions.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu still likes her very much, and Qin Huairu can see it.

"I'm glad you understand. My mother has been like this all these years in this yard. You saw it too. Zhuzi ate a lot just now. That's why my mother is like this." Jia Dongxu said a little embarrassedly.

"Look, you've seen our conditions, and you understand them. Take our house for example. It's not far from Wangfujing. Look, it's so nice. There's everything nearby. The benefits of our steel mill are also very good."

"Although I am an apprentice now, my master is an old master in the factory. He teaches me very hard. I plan to take the first-level worker exam next year, the second-level worker exam the year after, and the third-level worker exam the year after. I will take the third-level worker exam first, and then work hard step by step." Jia Dongxu began to paint a blueprint for a better life in the future.

Matchmaker Wang also looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "So what do you think of their family's conditions?"

Qin Huairu nodded shyly and said, "I have no objection. I can agree to this, but..."

"Whatever it is, just tell me. As long as you tell me, I will pick it down for you, even if it's the moon in the sky." Jia Dongxu said excitedly when he heard that Qin Huairu was willing to agree to this matter.

"Yes, tell me. Look how good Dongxu is to you. As long as you tell me, he can agree to anything you ask." Matchmaker Wang also said with a smile.

"It's about the betrothal money. My family said they want fifty yuan. As you know, my parents are not young anymore, and I have a younger brother who is not married yet." Qin Huairu said with some embarrassment.

"Fifty yuan for the betrothal gift!" Jia Dongxu was surprised.

Originally, Jia Dongxu had prepared 20 to 30 yuan for the wedding gift, and his mother Jia Zhang also said the same thing. But if the wedding gift was 50 yuan, Jia Dongxu would start to worry.

"Huairu, isn't the betrothal money too much? How can this be?" Matchmaker Wang was dumbfounded when she heard that Qin Huairu, a country girl, dared to ask for so much money. Isn't she just a country girl?

If you look better, you really dare to lift yourself up?

Qin Huairu really didn't mean to brag about herself. She just overestimated Jia Dongxu's family conditions.

Qin Huairu felt that there must be money everywhere in this city, especially since Jia Dongxu had said a lot at the dinner table that their family was well off.

Even the implicit words such as Jia Dongxu's master Yi Zhonghai had no children and that his master would be taken care of in his old age and that his master's house and salary would all belong to their family were spoken out.

Jia Dongxu was really controlled by Qin Huairu, that's why he was like this. Now, Jia Dongxu was thinking about how to raise the 50 yuan betrothal money.

"No, my family is actually in a difficult situation, as you know. I just want to save more money for my family and show more respect to my parents. It can be regarded as leaving something for them. They have worked hard to raise me for so many years." Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.

"If this one doesn't work, how about we look at another one?" Qin Huairu said again.

Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongxu's appearance and felt that she should have a good market among the young men in this city.

"No, no, no, don't worry. It's okay about the money. We still have the money at home. Huairu, don't worry. Leave this matter to me." Jia Dongxu said immediately.

Just because of Qin Huairu's appearance, Jia Dongxu was already fascinated. It can be said that Jia Dongxu liked her so much that he really wanted to marry Qin Huairu.

"Wow, Dongxu, you are such a hero. You are willing to spend a fortune on a beauty. You are even willing to give 50 yuan as a betrothal gift?" He Daqing also heard this and shouted loudly.

After He Daqing shouted this, everyone in the yard knew about it, including Jia Zhang, who was still angry.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately said anxiously, "No, no, how can fifty yuan be a dowry? Whose daughter-in-law is so expensive? With so much dowry, I can find a daughter-in-law in the city."

"Qin Huairu, you don't have a job. You said you want so much money for the bride price. Is it appropriate? Don't you think about whether you are worth the money?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could I not know whether Huairu is worth the money? In my heart, Huairu is incomparable to money." Jia Dongxu seemed to be in love and said righteously.

"That's right, I support Dongxu's idea. Okay, if this is my wife, the person I like, I would be willing to give her even a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift." Chu Rongguang, who was watching the fun, joined in the fun.

Seeing Jia Zhang glaring at him angrily, Chu Rongguang finally realized how good it felt to play a prank, especially on someone you disliked.

"As expected, great minds think alike. This elder brother has the same opinion as mine. I, Xu Damao, also think that if you like someone, it's worth spending any amount of money to marry a wife you like." Xu Damao's nature of joining in the fun has now been revealed.

"This is how you love your wife. Well done Dongxu. You will definitely be a man who loves and treats his wife well in the future. Girl, you are so lucky." Chu Rongguang added fuel to the fire again.

"Go away, go away! What are you doing here? What does our family's affairs have to do with you?" Jia Zhang cursed.

"I'm just saying something fair. Why are you like this, Auntie?" Chu Rongguang said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Fourth brother, don't pay attention to her. This old woman is just like that." Sha Zhu said again.

"Shazhu, you are such a fool, what are you talking about? You just had our meal and now you are scolding me. What do you mean?" Jia Zhang was so angry. Why did this Shazhu help Chu Rongguang?

"I don't mean anything. I'm just saying something fair. Your son has a blind date today, and you're making a fuss here. Girl, their family is not worth it. I tell you, you're going to have a hard time in the future because of your mother-in-law, Jia Zhang." Sha Zhu directly ruined the show.

"Sha Zhu, what are you talking about? My mother is just outspoken. Has she ever done anything bad? How dare you slander my reputation? Give me back the food you just ate in our house." Jia Dongxu became unhappy when he saw Sha Zhu was about to get his wife away.

"Okay, we are all friends, stop arguing, stop making trouble, Zhuzi, just say less. Today is Dongxu's good day anyway. He is willing to spend 50 yuan on the betrothal gift. How nice of a girl."

"Don't they say it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage? Maybe this is a perfect match." Chu Rongguang said deliberately.

Chu Rongguang would not let Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu break up like this. It would be such a pity if they did.

To be honest, Qin Huairu, who has not yet been influenced by the bad habits of the Jia family, is still a good person. She is young and beautiful. If Chu Rongguang married such a woman, Chu Rongguang would probably be exhausted.

Chu Rongguang did feel it was a pity to leave such good fortune to Jia Dongxu, but his future was still very important.

Sha Zhu snorted and said, "For the sake of my fourth brother, I won't bother with you so much. You better be careful and pay attention in the future."

"Hmph, I won't say anything to you for the sake of Old Four. If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart." Jia Dongxu cursed.

However, Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu again, and his expression changed. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I will definitely treat you well, don’t worry.”

"Huai Ru, don't think about these things. Dong Xu is always playing and fighting with his friends in the yard." Matchmaker Wang said.

"It's okay, I understand this. People in our village are all like this. They quarrel but still play together." Qin Huairu said with a sweet smile.

Just this smile made Jia Dongxu completely fascinated.

Jia Dongxu vowed again: "Huai Ru, you stay in Sijiu City this time, don't worry, I will take you to have fun in our Sijiu City and eat and drink. When the time comes, just tell me where you want to go and what you want to eat."

"I would like to stay, but I have no place to live here." Qin Huairu said with difficulty.

How could Qin Huairu not want to stay in Sijiu City?

Moreover, Jia Dongxu also said that he wanted to eat delicious food and have fun. How could that not be attractive?

"It's okay, in my sister's room. My sister has just moved into that room by herself. If you are willing, you can squeeze in with my sister." Sha Zhu said immediately.

Sha Zhu was very quick-witted and even He Daqing couldn't stop him. However, He Daqing changed his mind and felt that his silly son was really smart this time.

Knowing that in order to keep Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu gave her 50 yuan as a betrothal gift. Just for this 50 yuan betrothal gift, Jia Zhangshi would probably be thinking about it for ten or eight years.

The Jia family will be lively from now on.

Jia Zhang is not a kind person. If this girl marries into the Jia family in the future, her life will be miserable.

Jia Dongxu loves his wife so much. Let's see whether Jia Dongxu will choose my mother or his wife at that time.

However, Sha Zhu didn't think so in his heart. He just wanted to keep Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu is so beautiful, and it’s not just Jia Dongxu who wants to take Qin Huairu out for a meal.

Even Shazhu has this intention.

Chu Rongguang also saw what was going on. This Sha Zhu was really too much. However, a woman like Qin Huairu would look down on Sha Zhu. At most, she would use him.

"Yes, you can live in our house, and you can also help us accompany Yu Shui at night and take care of Yu Shui. Girl, if you are willing, you can stay in our city for two days." He Daqing was also generous.

"Okay, it's okay, I'm willing to stay." Qin Huairu nodded and said excitedly.

Qin Huairu would naturally be willing to stay in the city for a few days, visit a few more houses, and have someone take her out to play.

Besides, if you are in the countryside, it takes time to go back and forth, and it costs five cents to take a bus.

"That's great, Huairu. I'll take you to buy roast duck from Bianyifang tonight, and we'll go to Donglaishun for mutton hotpot tomorrow." Jia Dongxu was naturally very happy to see Qin Huairu staying and his sweetheart was right in front of him.
