Chapter 117: Did your parents tell you how much dowry you would get? Where will we live in the futur

Shen Xue hid her triumph in her eyes, her face full of grievance, "Jing Chen, you know, I will help you with whatever you want to do, how could I possibly ruin your plan?

Shen Shuyu hasn't come back yet, so I can't trick her into coming out.

Besides, if I left at that time, you would die after taking the medicine without anyone by your side, and I would have to sacrifice my reputation and innocence."

"Are you feeling wronged? It is your blessing to marry me. Did your parents tell you how much dowry you will get? Where will we live in the future?"

After he got married, the people in the educated youth camp would no longer allow him to live there, and he didn't want to live there either.

Zhou Jingchen was still unwilling to be forced to marry Shen Xue. In terms of appearance, Shen Xue was okay. If she was favored at home and had money, she could barely be worthy of him.

But she has nothing and is not favored at home. She can't even get a few eggs from home for him. What's the point of marrying such a woman?

Damn Shen Xue, she ruined my life.

"My parents only have me as their daughter, so they will definitely prepare a dowry for me. They will at least prepare a quilt for me and two large boxes with fifty yuan as a deposit."

She knew how much money the family had. The eighty yuan from the family division had been in her father's hands all along, and the money had not been spent. Now that she was married, her father would have to give her the money anyway.

"Jingchen, my family doesn't have any extra houses. Let's build a few blue brick and tile houses. They don't need to be too big, just four or five will be fine. When your parents and brothers come to visit you in the countryside, they will have rooms to stay in."

"You are so bold. Do you know how much it would cost to build four or five blue brick houses? Do you know how difficult it is to get blue bricks?

If you have money and connections, you can build it. I don’t have money, it doesn’t matter, I can’t build it.” Zhou Jingchen spread his hands, his tone impatient.

What if he doesn't want to live in a brick house? Can they afford to build one?

"How much does it cost to build a brick house? Why don't you just ask your parents to send money?

As long as you pay me, I can get the bricks back."

"No money."

Shen Xue didn't expect Zhou Jingchen to refuse so straightforwardly, "If we don't build a brick house, we have to build an adobe house, right? Otherwise, where will we live?"

Zhou Jingchen paused and said, "Don't your parents live in a brick and tile house? Why don't you ask them to move out and let us live there?

Your three cousins ​​are all unmarried, so they can just sleep in one room. Free up two adobe houses, and let your parents live in one. Leave the other one empty. If we have a son, we can let him live there."

Zhou Jingchen felt that his arrangement was very good. The Shen family obviously had a house to live in, so why should he spend money building one? Shen Xue had no money, so in the end it was his money that was spent.

Wouldn't it be better for him to use the money to buy meat buns?

"Jingchen, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of that?

After we get married, we can live at home, and my parents will be happy."

After solving the housing problem, Shen Xue didn't want others to look down on her, so she asked Zhou Jingchen if he had any candy coupons. "Jingchen, we're all married now, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some candy to share with everyone, so that they can share in our happiness."

"If you don't have sugar coupons, you can buy them later when you have them."

Zhou Jingchen didn't want to spend a penny. He thought that he was from Kyoto, married to Shen Xue and lived in the Shen family. It would be inappropriate to go to the door empty-handed, so he finally went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two egg cakes.

"Jingchen, buy a few more pieces. Two pieces are not enough. My parents are still angry. Buy a few more to make them happy."

The two country bumpkins still wanted him to coax them, not even considering whether they were a good match. "Two pieces are enough. You'll choke if you eat too much egg cake. I'll buy other delicious food for your parents later."

Shen Xue was very pleased with what he said, "Jingchen, you are so nice."

After buying the egg cake, Shen Xue persuaded Zhou Jingchen and said she wanted to buy a piece of Dacron cloth.

"This color is too ugly, it doesn't suit you. I'll ask my sister to send two better-looking pieces of cloth. Let's go back."

As long as Shen Xue wanted something, Zhou Jingchen could always find an excuse to buy it later. In short, it didn't cost him a penny, and he could always coax Shen Xue into submission with just a few words.

The two returned to the Shen family, and Shen Xue dragged Zhou Jingchen to walk around in front of Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen.

"Grandma and grandpa, Jing Chen and I are married."

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen: “Yes.”

Zhou Jingchen called out to the old couple perfunctorily, but they didn't respond. Zhou Jingchen cursed the two old men in his heart for being so ignorant.

Shen Xue awkwardly pulled Zhou Jingchen's clothes and walked over to Uncle Shen San and Liu Pan.

The people from the first and second rooms were picking vegetables at the door of their kitchens. Shen Xue pretended not to see them and didn't even say hello.

"Mom and Dad, Jing Chen and I are getting married." She raised the oil paper bag in her hand, "This is the egg cake that Jing Chen bought for you at the supply and marketing cooperative. There are only two pieces left, and Jing Chen took a lot of effort to get them."

Uncle Shen looked at the marriage certificate in their hands expressionlessly, stood up, turned back to the house, and slammed the door shut.

Liu Pandi forced a smile when he saw the egg cake and said to Zhou Jingchen, "Jingchen, you and Xiaoxue have to live a good life after you get married.

You are a grown man with plenty of strength. You can’t do light work all day. Otherwise, the few work points you earn won’t be enough for you to eat. You are a man, you have to support your wife…”

Her mother kept talking about this as soon as she got married. Shen Xue interrupted her, "Mom, why are you talking about this? Jing Chen knows what's going on.

Even if he doesn't work, he can still support me. His parents earn a lot of money, so they send him at least 20 or 30 yuan every month. This money is more than enough to buy food."

Seeing that her son-in-law did not refute what her daughter said, Liu Pandi assumed that what her daughter said was true. "It's okay as long as you have your own ideas. Mother won't say more."

Li Caixia moved her stool and sat next to Zhang Cuicui. "Sister-in-law, look at Shen Xue's smug face. She was picking up stinky stones in the cesspool. People who didn't know would think she had found gold."

Zhang Cuicui kept picking vegetables, "It's so rude to say that about Zhou Zhiqing, he's a noble from Kyoto, he's worth gold!

We have to stay away from the Golden Wife from now on, otherwise she will think that we poor relatives are trying to curry favor with her."

It had to be her sister-in-law who understood the difference between men and women. “Sister-in-law is right. A golden daughter-in-law is precious. We poor relatives dare not get close to her.”

The two sisters-in-law spoke loudly, and anyone with normal hearing could hear them.

Shen Xue and Zhou Jingchen could hardly keep the smiles on their faces.

Liu Pandi thought the two sisters-in-law spoke harshly, but he was used to it.

"Jingchen, you can't live in the educated youth camp anymore after you get married. When do you plan to build a house?

You are now a member of our brigade. We have a lot of residential land in our brigade. You can go to the brigade leader and ask him to allocate a piece of land to you.

There are a few vacant lots around our house. You can choose one of these lots. It will be good for our two families to live close to each other and take care of each other.

You don't have to worry about building a house. I'll ask your father to find someone for you. Just provide food, no money required."

If we ask the people from the first and second rooms to help build the house, we don't have to find anyone or worry about food.

There are two mean sisters-in-law in the first and second wives, who will definitely not agree to let their own son help her son-in-law build a house, so she doesn't count on it.

Let the son-in-law give some food; he has money anyway.
