Cui Shujuan's father suffered a serious illness, and the cost of surgery and hospitalization spent all his family's savings. All the money she earned from working in recent years was spent on her father's medicine and injections, and she almost didn't save a penny.
Next, it will cost several thousand every time I go to the hospital for a review. In order to raise my father's illness and survive, more than half of the bride gifts he asked for when he was engaged were used.
According to parents' plans, try to postpone marriage for two years before getting married. The purpose is to allow Cui Shujuan to earn more money to supplement the family income. But the man gave in year after year, and this time he refused to say anything. I have to urge me to get married as soon as possible. If I don’t agree, I will break off the engagement and ask for a bride.
My parents dared not refuse to agree and promised the man that they would get married at the end of the year. With less than three months left, parents called again and again, forcing their daughter to quit their jobs as soon as possible and go home.
Cui Shujuan works in a hot pot restaurant in the provincial capital and dates close to the owner of the cake shop next door. Every time I go to and from get off work, I have to say hello to the boss’s wife, and I often stay for a while, chatting and helping.
The boss's wife persuaded her to work in her store more than once, promising to earn several hundred yuan more than the hot pot restaurant. Cui Shujuan politely refused, and the reason she said convinced the boss's wife and praised her.
"Sister Wang, it's not that I refuse to come, but I can't come. The owner of the hot pot restaurant family treats me well, and I have no reason to quit my job. More importantly, the two of you are next door and have always had a good relationship. If I just jump to your job directly, wouldn't it cause conflicts and trouble?"
The boss lady once suggested to Cui Shujuan, "If you don't do this, you can also open a cake shop. I will do my best to help you, including technology and capital."
Cui Shujuan's eyes shining and her face was full of yearning. But in less than half a minute, the flame of hope was extinguished immediately.
"Oh, it's impossible. ...I'm going to get married soon, and I don't have the capital, so I can't do anything."
"Why are you so unconfident? I also came from the countryside from work. When I was a clerk, I learned skills and accumulated experience. I saved enough money to open my own cake shop. You also saw that our business is not very good?"
"Sister Wang, the key is... the key is that the conditions in my family do not allow me at all. After I got married, my in-laws would definitely not allow me to go out to work, and I would not allow me to do business..."
topic once again naturally moved to Cui Shujuan's family experience and current situation, and Sister Wang's interest also fell down. Looking at the poor girl in front of her who lowered her head and shed tears, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Oh, it's a pity. I really want to help you. When I have the help of my sister in the future, I must remember to come to me."
"What else can I expect to do what I like as I wish? No matter how competitive you are, you can only accept your fate and submit. I'm afraid there will be no chance in this life."
"Junzi, is it a bit too early to say this now? When you are forced to a certain level and are desperate and can't stand it, whether you bow your head to accept your fate or fight, it depends entirely on how you choose."
Cui Shujuan was completely disappointed and did not take the boss's wife's words to heart. He just nodded politely, but then shook his head again and sighed.
"You are right, but I'm afraid it's not suitable for me."

Cui Shujuan quit her job and went home on the night she asked how much money the bride price was left. Mom stammered and couldn't speak, and Dad squatted down and covered his head and blamed himself in pain.
"Daughter, I blame my dad... I blame my dad for having you implicated. I spent all your money and couldn't afford the dowry. I... would be better if I died early..."
Every time Cui Shujuan came home, her dad would cry and say something similar. Only when the daughter has to express her concern and to comfort her will she show a rare smile on her face.
The day of getting married is coming, and Cui Shujuan cares not about her father’s self-blame and her mother’s guilt. When things come to an end, what she is most worried about is how to solve the current dilemma.
"You guys say that. No matter how much you have left, I have to let me know the number, right?"
"Uh... there are less than 20,000."
Cui Shujuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, dizzy, holding the table with both hands and barely supporting her body. My father was really spending money on taking medicine and injections. If my daughter hadn’t been at the bottom of the bride price, she would probably have been unable to recover from her illness and survive.
The family was silent for a long time, and they didn't know how to talk about the next topic. I have made an appointment with the man to register the day after tomorrow. There are a lot of questions that must be explained clearly to my in-laws in advance.
Before Cui Shujuan returned home, her in-laws had already sent messages through matchmakers many times. Considering the difficulties at the woman's family, the man did not have high requirements. Except for the refrigerator, washing machine and electric car, the man had to buy it as a dowry, all the remaining items that should be purchased by the man.
From a conscience, my husband’s family is already righteous and tolerant. In order to marry his wife into the house as soon as possible, the in-laws have lowered their attitude and condescending to be fully qualified.
No matter how much money the woman has at home, she can’t even give her a decent dowry. The bride was married into the house by a marriage car without hands. Not to mention that her husband's family was bleak or how the villagers would discuss it, even the relatives of her parents' family were afraid of being embarrassed and refused to agree to go to see her off. As long as the three dowries are higher than a certain level, you will get more than 10,000 yuan after buying them. If you have to buy some things that girls must have when they get married, the remaining money at home will definitely not be enough.
After Cui Shujuan got married, the possibility of going out to work was very small. Even if my in-laws allow me to go out to earn money for two years, I can’t help my parents’ family.
Losing his daughter's support, parents can only live on the little income in the field. All the only 20,000 yuan left at home bought a dowry. How did my father take medicine and get an injection? How to recover from illness and survive?
…
Cui Shujuan thought about it all the time, but she could not decide what to do. My daughter kept her head down and her eyes closed and her parents didn't say anything, and her parents felt guilty and uneasy.
Mom took out the 20,000 yuan from the bedroom, put it on the table and pushed it in front of her daughter. Cui Shujuan glanced at her tears, shook her head helplessly, and asked in a low voice.
"Those three dowry... can you let the in-laws buy it?"
"Oh, your dad and I... gave up our shame and also mentioned this to the matchmaker. The matchmaker said that night that your parents-in-law refused to agree."
The in-laws gave a bride price of more than 100,000 yuan, and only asked the woman to accompany her to three decent dowries. My parents-in-law have been extremely patient, and it is impossible for them to make concessions again.
Cui Shujuan can only ask her fiancé to see if she can persuade her parents-in-law. In order to take into account the miserable days of parents after marriage, Cui Shujuan did not let go of any hope.

Li Jianting received a call from Cui Shujuan and learned about his fiancée's intention. Of course, I had to try my best to argue about this matter at the beginning, but in the end I agreed to give it a try.
Wait until after 11 o'clock in the evening before Li Jianting replied. A hoarse voice came from the microphone, his speech was vague, and he was obviously drunk.
"Juan... Juanzi... I've been quarreling with my parents all afternoon... My parents' attitude... I don't want to change at all. I... didn't even eat supper... locked up in the house... drink. I... disappointed you... I dare not call you. But... I have to... tell you..."
Li Jianting said these words intermittently and stopped talking. A subtle and clear snoring sound came from the microphone, and Cui Shujuan imagined that her fiancé could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
The fiancé was so guilty and helpless that he failed to persuade his parents-in-law. Cui Shujuan also felt very distressed and regretful when she heard these thoughtful words.
I owe too much to my fiancé, and my requirements for my in-laws are indeed too excessive. But she couldn't bear to give up her own father and mother, and was unwilling to spend all the money she had in her family.
Sleepless late at night, full of melancholy. Cui Shujuan lay on the bed and burst into tears, sat at the table and sighed, and wandered around the room...
She suddenly made up her mind to pick up her phone and typed out a string of words at a very fast speed. Just as I was about to press the send button, I suddenly felt that it was inappropriate and threw my phone onto the desktop again.
tossed over and over again for two or three hours, and it was almost dawn. At the last moment, she stopped hesitating, and her fingers trembled and finally sent the message out.
"Li Jianting, tell your family, I want to go and recognize your home before registering."
Before getting married, the girl went to her husband's house to recognize her. This was the custom of the first few years. Now the rules have been changed. We have met the man’s relatives and friends at the engagement banquet and have received red envelopes.
Since getting engaged, Cui Shujuan has to visit Li Jianting’s grandmother whenever she goes home. She is very familiar with her relatives and neighbors of her in-laws, so how can she talk about "recognizing her family"?
was going to register the next day, but she suddenly proposed to recognize her family, and those relatives must pay another red envelope. Everyone could see that Cui Shujuan deliberately borrowed a reason to make a lot of money from her in-laws before getting married.
Cui Shujuan certainly expected to be opposed by her parents-in-law, scolded by her relatives, and aroused discussions among neighbors. But she had no way out and ignored anything for her parents.
Since the text message was sent out, Cui Shujuan has been waiting for Li Jianting's response uneasy. It was not until after eight o'clock after breakfast that Li Jianting called.
"You can come here, I have already given a notification to my relatives. Alas... I have tried my best this time, and I finally didn't disappoint you."
I don't know what my fiancé felt when he saw the text message, nor how he persuaded his in-laws, nor how he begged those relatives. I heard that my fiancé's voice was hoarse than last night, and I felt that he was more sad and helpless in his speech.
Before Cui Shujuan could reply, Li Jianting hung up the phone. Obviously, he was unwilling to argue with her again on the phone.
Cui Shujuan did not let her family accompany her, and went to her in-laws' house alone. Most of the relatives came and walked around, took out the red envelopes directly, and found a reason to say goodbye after a few simple words.
Only one cousin and two cousin stayed and chatted and had dinner with his sister-in-law who was about to pass the door. My parents-in-law and fiancé dodged to another room, and were unwilling to talk to Cui Shujuan from beginning to end.
Parents and in-laws each have two thousand, Li Jianting’s elder brother and sister-in-law work outside, and the family pays 1,000 for them. Each of my cousin-in-law and cousin is 500, and more than 20 relatives and friends take out the corresponding amount of money according to the distance.
Cui Shujuan received more than 10,000 "meeting gifts" this time, and this money is more than enough to buy those three dowries. Because my parents-in-law refused to give in, the daughter-in-law used such a ruthless trick before she even passed the door.
This is the first step in Cui Shujuan's plan, and there will be more vicious actions next. She had already made every effort to remedy her parents' predicament and was preparing to try every means to force her in-laws to take out another amount of money before getting married.

When I went to the county town to register, Cui Shujuan was accompanied by a cousin and Li Jianting was accompanied by a cousin. According to general custom, the woman has to force the man to buy some valuables.
If certain requirements cannot be met, the girl will not be willing to follow the boy to go through the procedures. At this time, the accompanies of both parties must act as their respective representatives to negotiate and make peace.
In order to prevent the woman from emptiing the money she brought, the man only puts a part of the money on his body. The other part is hidden in a place that is not easy to discover and will never be exposed until it is forced.
I didn't expect Cui Shujuan to do the opposite, and did not wear several high-end clothes like other girls, just like other girls. Instead of pestering Li Jianting to buy clothes in the supermarket, she took the initiative to ask to go to the wholesale market.
visited seven or eight stalls in a row. In the end, she repeatedly insisted on choosing only a suitably priced outfit for herself. The clothes she bought for Li Jianting was more than 100 yuan more expensive. What was even more unexpected was that she specially asked her parents-in-law to buy one outfit for her parents-in-law. Other girls can never do this series of actions of
. My cousin pulled Cui Shujuan aside, and the two pretended to be quarreling fiercely. When they came back, their cousin kept shouting and scolding.
"Which girl is so stupid as you? How can she be as scheming as you? Just knowing how to save money for her in-laws and not buying more clothes for herself while registering, where will there be a chance in the future?..."
When she arrived in front of Li Jianting and her cousin's sister-in-law, Cui Shujuan stopped saying anything. My cousin still refused to give up and continued to guide her cousin and nag endlessly.
In this case, Li Jianting's cousin had to stand between the two, and persuaded this and that one. At the end, he said openly, "My sister-in-law is determined to buy more clothes. We can't owe her, so we can compensate them in other places."
cousin and Cui Shujuan secretly met their eyes, pretending to be helpless, shook their heads and sighed, "Oh, there is nothing we can do with this stupid girl. Since my sister-in-law has spoken, she can only do this. If I continue to compete for it, I will be disrespectful."
Next, when I bought Sanjin , my cousin warned Cui Shujuan in advance, actually saying it was for Li Jianting and her cousin.
"You are willful this time, I can't spoil you anymore. You can't listen to you when you buy three gold coins. Buy a few things to coax yourself. You are not afraid of others' jokes. My face as a escort will be greatly lost."
Cui Shujuan was about to retort, but her cousin immediately spoke to dissuade her.
"My brother and sister, your cousin is right. What you did just now has made us satisfied and contented. You can't always owe ourselves if you continue like this."
After the cousin and cousin's sister-in-law discussed, they carefully selected and bought three gold coins. Although it cost more than 2,000 yuan, both sides were happy.
Cui Shujuan did not ask for any other things, so she successfully completed the registration procedures with Li Jianting. She did not force the man to spend all the money on her body like other girls.
When she returned home, her cousin-in-law kept praising Cui Shujuan when she reported to her second uncle and second aunt. Li Jianting put the five thousand dollars hidden in his crotch on the table.
"Dad, mom, I didn't expect Cui Shujuan to be like this. I have always been worried that I wouldn't have enough money to spend. I'm afraid that my wife would be exhausted by her wife like Ergouzi, so I had to call home to send money..."
My parents-in-law changed into new clothes, holding the marriage certificate , and she was already so excited that she fainted. The anger and grudge that Cui Shujuan came to recognize her house yesterday disappeared.
Seven or eight days later, Cui Shujuan got married. Everything is as expected, smoothly and get what you want.
When you get off the wedding car, when you are offering tea at the wedding, your parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law are happy when you pay the red envelope. Especially grandma, she had to get only five hundred, but she had to get one thousand.
A few good sisters in my village received a gift at the wedding site. Those good friends in the provincial hot pot restaurant could only send red envelopes to congratulate them through WeChat. Especially the cake shop owner, he directly transferred 6,000 yuan as a gift.
Cui Shujuan deposited all the money in her bank card. Li Jianting and her parents-in-law couldn't know how much she received. After entering my in-laws' house, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to work and earn money again.
Relying on the money under my control, I don’t know how long it can help my mother’s family. Cui Shujuan's plan to make money has achieved the expected results, but she has to consider it longer.

After the money received from the family bought the dowry, Cui Shujuan gave it to her parents. The remaining 20,000 yuan bride price was not used. According to the previous progress of my father's spending on medicine and injections, it was enough to last for half a year.
can plan does not change quickly, and no one can predict any accidents during this period. On the 20th day of the first lunar month, my mother went to the town to go to the market, something unlucky happened.
Mom rides electric tricycles and puts the things she bought in the car bucket. After picking potatoes at a vegetable stall, I stood up and looked back and saw that the tricycle was gone.
My daughter came back and was about to stay at her parents' house for a few days. My mother specially bought some more meat and vegetables. Now that all the car and things were stolen, she was angry and anxious, crying and screaming at the market.
After seeing her, the villagers called her daughter for her, and Cui Shujuan hurried to the town. She persuaded her mother to take the neighbor's car and go home, but she spent more than 200 yuan to buy vegetables and meat.
In the past few days at my mother's house, my mother always feels sorry for the lost electric cars and things. Cui Shujuan persuaded her and coaxed her, and promised to pay for a new one.
Mother settled down a little, but my father hurriedly persuaded him, "It's better not to move the money in your hands. If Li Jianting asks, you can't match the number, the couple will make trouble."
"Hey, I'm the head of my own money, so how do I change my love? He and my parents-in-law don't care..."
"Oh, don't think so. No matter how you say it, you have become someone else's wife and can't give your parents money and things at will. Generally speaking, your son-in-law and parents-in-law don't say anything easily even if they see it. Once a conflict or quarrel occurs, they will expose the old and new accounts..."
After hearing what his father said, Cui Shujuan was a little worried. While hesitating whether to put the money back into his bag, my mother took away the stack of banknotes.
My parents go out to the market to visit relatives and cannot do without electric tricycles. The original car was too small when I went to the field to work and pull things. I bought a tricycle that was one size bigger than before, and it cost more than 6,000 yuan.
In February, Cui Shujuan's cousin was engaged, and her mother sealed a red envelope of 500 yuan to her parents' nephew. The village waterway line was renovated and the water meter and pipeline replacement cost a total of four or five hundred.
If a neighbor has a funeral or celebrates his anniversary, his father will receive a minimum gift of 100. With other unexpected bits and pieces of expenses, my parents had no money in their hands in less than March.
Cui Shujuan could only use the deposits in her bank card again. She secretly went to the town to withdraw cash to her parents when she returned to her parents' home to visit relatives. When her father went to the county town for a review, she had to accompany her with enough money.
can’t be used five or six times like this, and it costs more than 10,000 yuan to supplement my parents’ home. The deposits in the card are getting smaller and smaller, and at this moment, a child from a neighbor of her in-laws' family had a car accident.
The child was hit by a motorcycle on the way to school and fainted. The perpetrator ran away on the spot. The child's parents were picked up by the ambulance with the child, and grandparents asked their neighbors to borrow money everywhere at home.
Li Jianting knew that his wife had saved the red envelope money collected at the wedding and brought the neighbors to the house in order to urgently rescue the child's life. Cui Shujuan didn't dare to say she refused to borrow it, but she was guilty and timid, and she knew clearly that the card was less than 3,000 yuan.
Li Jiantingman thought he could help his neighbors solve their urgent needs, but he could only take out two thousand yuan. The neighbor was disappointed and had to ask someone else to borrow money. It took more than three hours to set off for the county town.
The child's parents had no money to pay the fees, and their lives were rescued, but the next step of surgery was not arranged in time. One leg of the child may not return to normal, and he becomes a disabled person in the third grade of elementary school.
Li Jianting felt ashamed of his neighbor and was reluctant to go out to the street for several days. The wife secretly gave the money to her parents' home. No matter how angry he is, he cannot vent, and he dare not say anything he is resentful.
Once the couple starts to make noise, they will inevitably lead to old accounts, which will involve more fair and difficult-to-break incidents. My parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, talked and laughed at Cui Shujuan who had just entered the door, and secretly guarded against the bottomless pit of her parents' home at all times.
More than ten days ago, my brother was going to buy a car and run for rent in the town. My sister-in-law came to borrow money and urgently used it, but Cui Shujuan said that the red envelopes she received were all kept for five years and refused to take out her passbook.
If the brother and sister-in-law know the truth, the relationship between the sister-in-law will be even more rigid. He didn't dare to let his parents know that the card had no money, so he could only lie for his wife that he had changed his mind temporarily and was reluctant to withdraw the money and lend it to his neighbors.
In a bar, Li Jianting deliberately pretended to be drunk. Take this lie as a truth after drinking and reveal it to others.
The villagers all scolded Li Jianting for being unrighteous and regarded money as more important than the lives of his neighbor's children. He would rather be criticized by himself than let his wife be slandered, and at the same time he would maintain family harmony as much as possible.
Li Jianting never beat and scolded Cui Shujuan for this incident, and didn't even say a word of blame. But from then on, I rarely smiled with my wife, and I drank wine every night to relieve my sorrows and regret my hatred.

More than half a month later, my cousin's niece got married on May Day and was preparing to let her aunt accompany her when registering with the man. My cousin thought that the three gold style she chose for Cui Shujuan was better, so she took her niece to take a look.
"Juanzi, where is your jewelry? Take it out and let my niece take a look. I believe she will definitely like it."
Cui Shujuan immediately turned red and refused to open the cabinet. After her cousin's wife repeatedly urged her, she stammered and said in a low voice.
"This...is a coincidence. I...forgot to bring it back when I went back to my parents' home last time."
The cousin-in-law and niece were very disappointed. Just as they were about to go home, Li Jianting entered the yard. He pushed the electric car and was about to go out, and his cousin asked casually.
"What are you doing?"
"I have pasted tiles at Li Zhihua's house these days, and the box ruler is broken. I'll buy a new one in the town."
"Haha, that happens. Please go to your father-in-law's house and get your wife's jewelry back."
"Okay, sister-in-law's Instruct me to complete the task. Juanzi, please call your parents first and ask me what I need to bring? "
Cui Shujuan was unstable and said hesitantly, "No...no need."
"You can't go empty-handed. I'll go to the town and watch and buy a few more."
After Li Jianting said that, he rode his bike out. My cousin said a few more words, and then took her niece home to cook.
Cui Shujuan quickly called Li Jianting and told him not to go to his parents' home.
"You... don't go get jewelry. I... I... sold them all."
"What?... sold?!... why?"
The husband panted and asked loudly in the microphone, Cui Shujuan sobbed in a low voice. After hesitating for a long time, he boldly told the reason.
"Last time I went back to my parents' home, I specially accompanied my father to the county town for a review of his health. You also know... I had no money in my card, so... just..."
"You can't sell jewelry anywhere!"
"I... needed to spend money at that time, and couldn't think of another way, so I could only do this."
"Why do you say that? You won't tell me if you don't have money? Our family doesn't have enough money, so I can borrow it."
"I... dare not ask for it, and I have no shame to mention it."
"What are you talking about?"
"A few days ago... my neighbor's child helped his life and his brother and sister-in-law were in a hurry to buy a car, because I... couldn't help.You are unable to look up in front of the villagers, and you have offended your brother and sister-in-law... How could I be embarrassed to ask my family for money? How dare you give up your shame and force you to borrow money from your neighbors? "
...
Cui Shujuan cried and blamed herself. When she finished speaking, Li Jianting didn't say anything for a long time.
She was waiting for her husband to get angry and scold her, but she could only hear the sighs in the microphone. She was also preparing for her husband to go home and beat her, but what she got was the heartwarming words that made her feel even more guilty.
"Don't let her cousin know about this, otherwise it would spread throughout the village immediately. She invites you to dinner with her niece, so don't show it to her. After a while, I pretended to be at your house and told a lie, saying that your parents went to your grandma's house and I don't know when I will be able to come back. "
" Is this possible...can it work? "
"Don't worry, my cousin's wife won't always bother you, right? When her niece is registered, the matter will be over. "
" Why don't you scold me? ...The more you treat me well, the more I owe you. "
" what stupid things are you saying? You are my wife, isn’t it necessary for me to treat you well? If the couple cannot understand and tolerate each other, how can they live a peaceful life? "
" You are right...but I... have not done many things...wuwuwu..."
"Uh--Wife, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to teach you a lesson. It was just that he was speechless and said casually. "
"I...I really have a lot of things to let you down..."
"Stop, stop, I'll say anything later. I had to go to the town to buy a box ruler as it took a long time to waste, and once the tiles were clumsted, they would not be used. If you blind others' things, it is a trivial matter to pay for them. Destroying my reputation will affect my business. "
Li Jianting immediately hung up the phone and refused to let his wife continue talking. Cui Shujuan recalled the conversation with her husband just now, while going to her cousin's house to help cook.
As soon as she entered the door, her cousin received a call from Li Jianting. Her cousin was a little disappointed, but then she said to Cui Shujuan at the same time, and at the same time.
"Why is it such a coincidence? Since my uncle and aunt are not at home, then forget it. Anyway, I can recognize those styles of jewelry at a glance, so I can still recommend them to my niece. "
The cousin put down his phone, lifted the kitchen knife and continued to cut the meat. Cui Shujuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. A critical storm was safe, but fortunately it didn't happen.
7
That night, Li Jianting got off work more than an hour later than usual. Cui Shujuan didn't know how to talk to her husband, but at first glance, she saw the woven bag in his hand, and there was a broken embarrassing opening remark.
"You brought back all the homework you work, and the tiles were pasted? "
" Well, I spent an hour of extra work and saved the afternoon of tomorrow. From tomorrow morning, I can go to another store in town to put on tiles. "
"Oh... You are so tired of working every day, and you are so busy with each place, but I... can't help at all..."
said these words, Cui Shujuan secretly wiped her tears. The first time she took the initiative to help her husband prepare the water for washing her face, Li Jianting was flattered. She was a little excited when she washed her face with her palm. Before
, Cui Shujuan would have eaten herself no matter how late her husband got off work. Li Jianting returned home and saw that his wife was already sleeping. In the quilt, she never helped her serve herself.
Every day, Li Jianting drank alone and rarely talked to his wife. He had to drink two glasses of loose wine before he started getting drunk until he was stunned and fell asleep.
But today, he was a little abnormal. Cui Shujuan specially fryed two dishes for her husband. She kept it warm in the pot, quietly watching TV and waiting for her husband to go home.
After washing his hands and face, Li Jianting habitually took out the wine barrel and peanuts and put it on the dining table.Strangely, I only poured half a glass of wine this time, and after hesitating for a moment, I put the barrel back under the bed.
"What? Why do you drink so little today?"
"Just drink a little to relieve fatigue. Always getting drunk will affect...work the next day."
"Wait, I... today... I have two cups with you... I have something to tell you, and I have something to discuss with you."
Cui Shujuan brought two plates of hot dishes to the dining table, and took out a pack of roast beef and a dish of pig head frozen from the refrigerator. I also prepared a small wine glass for myself and relied the barrel from under the bed.
"Juanzi, I know you can drink. At the wedding, my sisters said that you have a lot of alcohol. Why didn't you want to drink with me before? Are you afraid that I will hate you?"
"Jianting, I'm sorry. Actually, I... dislike you. After getting married, my family disagreed with letting me go out to work again, so I... vent my resentment on you."
"Hahaha, then don't blame me for treating you badly. You don't want to drink with me, and it's your own greed."
Li Jianting was in a relaxed mood for the first time and joked with his wife for the first time. He picked up the barrel of bulk high-altitude wine and filled it with himself, took out the bottle of low-alcohol good wine left at the wedding and handed it to his wife, so that she could control how much she could drink.
Cui Shujuan only poured half a cup at a time. After her husband finished drinking the whole glass of wine in two sips, she just took a small sip. Tonight, her drinking was not the purpose.
She thought for an afternoon, asking something clearly and explaining something clearly.
"Jianting, let's continue. I can't make money myself, so I can only save all the red envelopes I receive privately, just to prevent my father from spending money when taking medicine and taking injections."
"I know this and I understand your mood. I have tried to use your money to pay back the debt several times, but I have persuaded him. I would rather work overtime and work more than make money, than to make you embarrassed. So... I have paid back my wages, but I can't buy medicine for you for your father."
"How many accounts do we still have in our family have not paid back?"
"The ones that owe the most are hotels and furniture stores. The bosses are from the same village and have good relationships. They will not come to the door to force debts. The key is the fragmentary accounts borrowed from the neighbors. This one is 1,200, and that one is 3,500. They try to help us based on their respective family backgrounds. The more they borrow, the less they borrow, are all affection, and we must repay them as soon as possible."
"Oh... these fragmentary accounts are not too much, right?"
"Well... there are more than a dozen companies left, and a total of more than 10,000 yuan."
Cui Shujuan lowered her head guiltily, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. With a bride price of more than 100,000 yuan and various expenses before and after marriage, my in-laws have to owe much foreign debts.
Cui Shujuan has never thought about this issue, nor has she ever asked about such things. Instead, he is selfish and reckless, trying every means to snatch money from his in-laws' house again and again.
Dad takes medicine and injections to support his illness and survives. Of course, his in-laws knows that her parents' family is a bottomless pit. But the husband had no complaints from beginning to end, and he begged to persuade his family to tolerate his wife again and again.
"Jianting, I'm sorry for you, and even more sorry for my parents-in-law, and I'm sorry for my brother and sister-in-law. I shouldn't have gone to recognize my family for the second time in order to make a lot of money from my in-laws' house. I shouldn't have lie with my cousin and pretend to save money for you when buying clothes. You and my cousin are happy for a moment and are willing to spend more money when buying three gold coins. Just for the sake of my parents' house... I sold my jewelry... I can exchange more cash. To be honest, I'll say... this... this... I planned it in advance..."
"Hahaha... wife, do you think I couldn't see it at that time? If I hadn't been secretly cooperating with acting, could my cousin be fooled easily? Within two days afterwards, my cousin realized your idea."
"Ah?...I don't believe it. With her cousin's temper, why didn't she expose me?"
"Not only did she not expose you at that time, but even today's incident, my cousin pretended to be confused.Otherwise, why would she give you beef and pig's head jelly? After you finished your meal, she called me specifically: Your wife had no money in her hands, so she had to sell her jewelry; she had been forced to end up selling her jewelry; she was forced to be in desperate situation, and she must tell you thoroughly today; you must handle it carefully, and accidentally you can't help her overcome this hurdle..."
I took all the money for marriage to supplement her parents' home. After my husband's words, I knew that I was married to the right person
Cui Shujuan could no longer control her when she heard these words, so she threw herself into her husband's arms and cried bitterly. She was narrow-minded and unreasonable, and she had been doing things that owed her husband and her parents-in-law, but the whole family was tolerant of herself again and again.
Li Jianting hugged her daughter-in-law tightly and gently stroked her trembling spine. While listening to her wife's confession quietly, she was also willing to do things that she owed her husband and her in-laws. Seize the opportunity to comfort him.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Shujuan got up early. Before her husband woke up, she prepared breakfast.
In order to work more in the morning, Li Jianting always went to work before 8 o'clock. Cui Shujuan was sleeping in bed, so he had to make instant noodles or eat breakfast in the town.
Unexpectedly, overnight, the wife seemed to have changed. Not only did she prepare the meal early, but she also scooped the bowl in advance. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, it happened to be neither hot nor cold.
"Wife, I feel very distressed when you work so hard to serve me. "
" Go! Don't talk nonsense. You get up early and go out to work late every day, and I should have taken care of you like this. I used to be angry with you and didn't want to get up and cook, so you never complained. From now on, all my problems will have to be corrected. Please tell me, don't spoil me anymore. "
" OK, how dare I refuse to obey my wife's instructions? ——Wow, why are the oil cakes you have so delicious? Unexpectedly, my wife still has this ability. Did she learn it when she was working in a hot pot restaurant? "
" is wrong, it was taught by a cake shop owner. She not only taught me to cook all kinds of delicious food, but also taught me..."
"Wife, what's wrong? Why were you suddenly stunned? "
Cui Shujuan put down her bowl, frowned, and fell into deep thought. Then, she muttered to herself.
"Sister Wang, you are right... you are right... I seem to understand a little..."
"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Who should I speak to? "
Cui Shujuan came to her senses and was about to say something, but then she shook her head hesitantly.
"I suddenly had an idea just now, but I felt hopeless. Don't chase me and ask, I will tell you when I think about it. "
" Hehehe, so mysterious? Don't worry, I won't force you to confess. I'm full and go to work. Just think about your...mysterious thought alone at home. Hahahaha..."
On the evening, Li Jianting came home from get off work, and Cui Shujuan brought a basin of water to wash his hands and face. Then she found that her husband's left index finger was wrapped in gauze, and immediately grabbed it in his hand and asked with pain.
"Why are you injured?" Is it serious or not? "
" It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. A ceramic tile had cracks and the light was not good in the evening. When the gray paste was applied to the wall, it suddenly broke and scratched the fingers. Fortunately, there are only two pieces left, and it has been completed. "
Li Jianting said as he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. His right hand shook in front of his wife's eyes and said excitedly.
"This family paid off the wages that day, and gave it to you to save. There is a notebook in the drawer that contains the list of neighbors we borrowed money. Depending on the situation, I paid off a account first, and the remaining fractions were collected. It was convenient for my father to take medicine and get injections..."
Cui Shujuan looked at her husband's honest and sincere smile in tears, and personally helped him wash his right hand. She wiped his face with a wet towel several times, and persuaded him softly.
"I have my finger injured, so it's better to take a rest for two days. "
" is not in the way, there are still several companies waiting for me to work.If they trust me and refuse others, we cannot delay others. "
At the dinner table, the couple shared a cup, and I drank the wine in one sip. The high-scattered wine was too rinsed, which made Cui Shujuan waved her hands and beat her. Li Jianting then picked up some dishes with chopsticks and fed them into her wife's mouth.
was full of wine, cleaned up the dining table together, and washed the pot and washed the dishes together. The couple sat side by side on the sofa watching TV, and they chatted with each other.
"Jianting, I have already thought about it and told you my thoughts and plans. "

Five or six days later, Li Jianting finished the work of those families and finally had two days of free rest. Cui Shujuan took her parents home, and invited her parents-in-law and brother and sister-in-law.
The cousin helped cook and cook, and Li Jianting went to the town to buy good cigarettes and wine. This was the first time after marriage that they brought their parents together, which seemed particularly grand, lively, happy and festive.
Cui Shujuan is of course the protagonist of this party, but there is also a more noble guest. More than once, she called to inquire about her itinerary, and Cui Shujuan had already taken her brother's taxi to the county train station to pick her up.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and Cui Shujuan took Sister Wang to her home. When Sister Wang heard Cui Shujuan's plan and request on the phone, she rushed over from the provincial capital the next day.
My parents-in-law refused to let Cui Shujuan go out to work because she wanted to get her daughter-in-law pregnant as soon as possible Have a baby. Cui Shujuan once retired and was already twenty-seven years old when she married Li Jianting.
Cui Shujuan did not dare to go against her parents-in-law's wishes, but her current plan was determined to be realized. If she couldn't go out to make money, she simply opened a store at home.
Make money to support her family and do not delay pregnancy and having children, but also convenient for taking care of her parents. It can be said that she won multiple goals in one fell swoop, and her parents-in-law agreed and strongly supported her.
She made the cake shop owner's wife Please go home, teach your own skills, and help select stores in the town. When buying equipment and materials, the boss’s wife must provide personal guidance. After opening, she must operate on-site, train and market, and open the market.
In order to ease the relationship with her elder brother and sister-in-law, Cui Shujuan sincerely invited her elder sister to invest and share dividends. Even the name of the store was discussed, and the "Sister-in-law Cake Shop" contains admirable good wishes.
, especially the elder brother, promised on the spot, "If you buy goods in the future, you will be able to run errands with your own car. When I am free, I can also help you deliver goods to customers. "
...
At the bar, the family had a great time. They expressed their warm wishes and sincere support in different ways.
Cui Shujuan toasted each family with tears in her eyes, randomly reviewing the past and confessing her mistakes. When she was toasting her husband, she was even more grateful and respectful.
"I used any means to snatch money from my in-laws' house and secretly supplemented my parents' house according to my own private plan. Finally, I spent all my money before selling my jewelry, and I had reached an irreversible dead end. Do you know what I was thinking that day? "
" I guess there are two possibilities, but the specific situation will be unpredictable. "
" I... prepare to show off with you... Once you scold me and beat me... I will run away from home and hide when you can't find it. My mother's family will make a fuss to ask for someone, forcing you to beg for mercy and apologize, and have to pay for my parents. ...This is also the last step in my previous plan. However, my dead end was blocked by you again and again, and I had to reflect on and repent and change my mind. Finally, I had a new plan to make money by opening a store today..."
"Juanzi, if you were not willing to change, no matter how great my ability was, I would not be able to stop you. If I beat you up and scold you that day, my fate will be terrible..."
"Hahaha..."
Cui Shujuan and Li Jianting touched their glasses gently amid the laughter of their family. Under the cheering and pushing of their cousin's wife, they drank a glass of wine with red face. (original title: " final happiness plan ")
