Chapter 14

“Sister-in-law, since you have objections, Lu Zhiqing’s betrothal gift will not be paid from our family’s funds.

I will earn my own money later. We are a family, there is nothing to argue about.”

Seeing Su Zhenhua said that he earned it himself, Zhao Yumei really didn’t know what to say.

Others earn the bride price for their own wives, what else can she say?

As long as you don’t touch the family’s money, everything will be fine.

Zhu Aihua hurriedly asked, “Old Third, how are you going to earn the money for the bride price? Are you going to go back to the mountains?”

Su Zhenhua responded in a muffled voice.

What other options are there besides going to the mountains?

Zhu Aihua objected without thinking, “No, this won’t work. The mountain is too dangerous. You almost lost your life last time. You can’t go there again.”

Lu Zhenhua said, “Mom, just this once, I will not go after I earn the betrothal money for Lu Zhiqing.

I can earn the money for the bride price myself, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Zhu Aihua glanced at Zhao Yumei with dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for the eldest brother’s wife making trouble, nothing would have happened.

Zhao Yumei felt more and more guilty, but she didn’t want to give in.

The family’s current conditions have finally improved a little. If all the money is given to Lu Wan as a betrothal gift, her children may not be able to continue their studies.

When it is time to be selfish, you must be selfish.

Seeing that Zhu Aihua didn’t say anything, Su Zhenhua knew that his mother was still unhappy, so he said, “Mom, don’t worry, it was just an accident last time, I will be more careful this time.

I’ve been there so many times before, and everything was fine, right? “

Seeing that Su Zhenhua had made up his mind, Zhu Aihua didn’t say anything.

Of course, there is no other way to shut up the eldest brother’s wife except this method.

Zhu Aihua said, “When the third child gets married, all of you will have your own families. Then you won’t have to live together and can just separate.”

Otherwise, if something happens to the third room, the eldest son’s wife might make trouble and say something.

It would be better to separate and live our own lives so that we can have peace and quiet.

Zhao Yumei didn’t expect her mother-in-law to talk directly about dividing the family property.

“Mom, you’re still here. There’s no need to split up our family.” Zhao Yumei said weakly.

She knew that her brother-in-law was capable and earned a lot of work points.

If the family didn’t split up, their family would at least benefit from it.

Moreover, she has many children and the family is divided. Looking at her and her husband alone, I’m afraid they will have a hard time.

Therefore, there is no benefit for their eldest branch to split up the family.

Zhu Aihua snorted, “You still know that we are a family? You just calculated it more clearly than anyone else.

Okay, I’ve made up my mind, don’t say anything.

After the third child got married, the family was divided.”

Although Zhao Yumei was reluctant in her heart, she could only respond sullenly when she saw Zhu Aihua’s cold face.

Lu Wan is here.

After returning to the educated youth point, she was too lazy to cook, so she went straight to the shopping mall and got a delicious clay pot rice with bacon and pork ribs. She ate her fill in the mall before leaving.

They needed to go to the county town tomorrow, so Lu Wan went to sleep directly after eating.

The next morning, Lu Wan got up at dawn and set out from the production team to the county town.

The production team was actually not far from the county town, only about thirty miles away.

But there were no cars in that era, let alone sedans, there was no public transportation.

None of the people in the production team owned a bicycle.

If Lu Wan wanted to go to the county town, she had to walk there, which would take two or three hours on foot.

If you are lucky, you may meet a bullock cart or a tractor going to the county town on the road and give them a ride.

If you are unlucky, you can only walk there on your own two legs.

Lu Wan thought that she could buy a bicycle so that it would be more convenient to travel.

After I marry Su Zhenhua, I might have to come to the county town to buy things every now and then.

Unfortunately there are no bicycle tickets.

Her parents would send her food, food coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons and other common living vouchers every once in a while, and would also send her some money.

But tickets for large items like bicycles have never been sent, mainly because she doesn’t need them.

During this period, she had a little more food left over.

There are not many cloth coupons left.

Most of the cloth coupons sent by my parents were swindled away by Liu Lili, and now there are very few left.

When Lu Wan got married, she not only wanted to buy clothes for herself, but also wanted to buy two sets for Lu Zhenhua.

Everyone also bought a pair of small leather shoes.

Buy two new quilts.

I have to buy some of all kinds of things.

In this life, she not only wants to marry Su Zhenhua, but also wants to marry this man in a glorious way.

She happened to have two tickets for the little leather shoes, so she didn’t need any for the time being.

There are some shortages of cloth coupons, industrial coupons, and cotton coupons.

The purpose of coming to the county town this time was, firstly, to send a telegram to her parents to inform them that she was going to marry Su Zhenhua, and secondly, to sell some things in the system mall on the black market and exchange them for some money and tickets.

When she marries Su Zhenhua, not only will she be able to buy things, but she will also have the starting capital for her own family.

The fine grains such as rice and flour in her space are all good things in this era.

Not to mention chicken, meat and eggs, which are even more scarce in this era.

Lu Wan had just left the production team not long ago when she had good luck and met an old man driving a ox cart.

“Uncle, are you going to the county town?”

The old man saw that Lu Wan had a sweet mouth and a pleasing smile, so he became more friendly when facing her.

“Yes, let’s go to the county town to buy some things.

What? Are you going to the county town too?

If it’s convenient, I’ll give you a ride?”

This was Lu Wan’s purpose. Before she could open her mouth, the old man spoke first.

Lu Wan was not pretentious and polite, “Okay, thank you uncle.”

The old man smiled and replied, “You’re welcome, come up!”

Along the way, the two chatted about everything and time passed quickly.

The ox cart arrived at the county town in less than half an hour.

Although Lu Wan had an impression of the county town of that era, when she saw it again, she couldn’t help but sigh. It was so different from the 21st century.

In the 21st century, six-story houses are not uncommon, even in small towns.

But in county towns of this era, most houses are bungalows or two-story houses.

Neither can the roads on the street.

The road is gravel and bumpy.

There are some shops around with promotional slogans written on them.

If it weren’t for the experience of later generations, who would have thought that our motherland would have achieved such great development in just a few decades.

“My daughter, we have arrived at the county town. I will stop here!” The old man said kindly to Lu Wan.

Lu Wan responded, got off the car and stuffed a steamed bun into the old man’s hand.

When the old man saw the white flour bun that Lu Wan stuffed into his hand, he was stunned.

“Girl, you are…”

“Uncle, you are so kind to bring me to the county town. I am giving you this steamed bun. Please don’t be polite to me.”

After saying this, Lu Wan was afraid that someone would return it to her, so she ran away quickly.

Looking at Lu Wan’s back as she left, the old man couldn’t help but sigh. He thought he had met a good person. Nowadays, white flour buns are a good thing.
