"Or forget about this marriage."
The son who had been silent for a long time suddenly raised his head and said.
"How can it be so easy? Give me a little more time and I will figure out a solution."
Father took a bit of a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then got up and walked outside.
The son doesn’t even know that his father is planning to borrow money everywhere, but he has borrowed all the places where he can borrow. When people heard that he was going to borrow 200,000 yuan, they were worried that he would not be able to pay for it in a short time. Tactfully refuse.
The son really doesn't want his father to do any more useless work. He just tried to persuade him to say a few words, but he saw his father's eyes full of determination. I had to sigh, and I wanted to forget it, and let him borrow it again, as a peace of mind.
The village where they are located is regarded as one of the most remote and poor areas in China. Because of their poverty, many married men cannot marry a daughter-in-law. As they grow older, they become old bachelors one by one.
If the father was not lucky, he might have become an old bachelor when he met his wife.
I was lucky enough to "evade a catastrophe". What I didn't expect is that my son is now facing the same problems as he was in the past, and the degree of difficulty has increased more than ten times.
The son has a college degree. He talked about a girlfriend at school. The two have been together for four or five years. Last month, the woman found out that she was pregnant. The parents of both sides naturally met to discuss the wedding gift.
Who knew the woman’s parents would ask for 280,000 yuan,And emphasized that this money will not be brought back to her daughter. If the man does not agree, they will take their daughter to knock the child out.
My father pieced together and collected 60,000 to 70,000, but there are still more than 200,000 who don’t know what to do. This money can only be earned by farming for at least seven or eight years.
My father once thought about giving up, but every time he saw his son call his girlfriend with tears in his eyes, he said baby, I will definitely gather the gift, and then marry you home, you and your child must wait for me ...The father suddenly thought of the scene where his grandfather who watched his child died of illness many years ago was helpless. He secretly made up his mind to help his son marry his wife home even if he was selling blood.
The result was the same as the son guessed, and the father returned empty-handed again. No matter how blood is thicker than water, no matter how close the relationship is, after encountering money, it will become vulnerable.
did not borrow the money, the father was embarrassed to face his son, and he kept daunting until late to go home.
When I got home, I saw that the house was brightly lit, and there were many people from the village sitting in the small courtyard. They were eating melon seeds, talking and laughing, and the scene was very lively.
And among them, there was a strange woman who knew she was from a big city by looking at her dress. She looked out of place with the villagers, but she didn't dislike everyone at all, with a smile on her face.
Seeing her father come back, she was taken aback for a while, and then slowly got up, "Big Brother Liu, you are back."
My father felt that the man's eyebrows were a bit familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was. Have seen.
"Brother Liu,After all, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. You must have forgotten me.
someone immediately reminded his father, "Old Liu, why did you forget your daughter-in-law?" "
My father seemed to have caught something, and the memories came like a flood.
Twenty years ago, when my father reached the age of marriage, he was still Xiao Liu at that time, and his father and mother worried that he was like those in the village. Like an old bachelor, I can’t ask for a daughter-in-law for a lifetime, so I bought a daughter-in-law for Xiao Liu for 5,000 yuan. It seems to be the most reliable.
As long as the daughter-in-law is bought back, the child will give birth to three or four, and the average woman will accept her fate even for the sake of the child.
but the wife of Xiao Liu Obviously different from other women, from the first day she bought it, she fought Xiao Liu's family on a hunger strike. When Xiao Liu approached her, she seemed crazy, beating and biting at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu learned from her parents that this girl is a college student, naturally a little arrogant. According to her parents, she was hungry for a few days before she became docile.
didn't know that this woman was half hungry, but she still refused to surrender. Even one night, she tore her clothes one by one and twisted them into a rope, planning to hang herself.
if not small Liu arrived in time, I'm afraid she would really kill her.
After all, the human heart is long, and Xiao Liu saw that she was so staunch and stubborn.Knowing that she must be a dead word if she reluctantly continued, she gritted her teeth and let her go.
Worried that she might encounter danger on the road, Xiao Liu cheekily sent her to Guangzhou first, and then to Yueyang hometown from Guangzhou, before turning back.
After returning home, Xiao Liu was verbally criticized by the villagers, who secretly criticized him for being incompetent, and even the faces of his parents were blank. If it hadn't been for later found the daughter-in-law by her ability, she would have been drowned in the saliva of the villagers.
And the woman who came to the house today is the daughter-in-law she let go, Ma Tingting.
They have not seen each other for more than 20 years. The two can hardly recognize each other, but after all, they have been together for a long time and always feel very cordial.
Ma Tingting has lived in Liu’s house for more than half a month. During the period, she learned that the old Liu’s family was worrying about the wedding gift. She originally came this time to repay the kindness that year, so it happened that she had made a lot of money from doing business over the years. When I left, I quietly left a bank card under my pillow with 300,000 yuan in it, and wrote in a note: Brother Liu, although you and I are not married, you have the name of a husband and wife. Thank you for that year. The grace of salvation and the grace of escort, this money should be regarded as repaying your kindness in the past, please accept it. If you still feel uncomfortable, let your son call me a godmother. It is only natural for the godmother to give his son some pocket money...
