Chapter 1 Three turns and one sound Thirty-six legs
"As for the betrothal gift, we won't ask for too much, just follow what we have now, three turns and one ring, thirty-six legs and one hundred yuan." Dong Caifeng didn't feel guilty at all when she said this, but was very sure of it, because the old god was here.
You must know that it is now 1974, and the annual salary of a worker in the county is only more than 20 yuan.
¡°And theirs is just a rural area below the county. People in the village make a living by farming. They live on the small amount of food distributed by the brigade every year. They can make more than 100 yuan a year. They can be said to be a good family. If someone can produce a worker, it will be like a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop, and people from all over the country will know about it.
Dong Caifeng would ask for a gift of more than a thousand dollars with just one mouthful. It would take ten years for them in the countryside to get it.
The price of this bride price, at least in their rural areas, no girl has ever had such a high price for her bride price, and no one has even asked for such a high price.
However, Dong Caifeng didn't feel like she was a big talker at all, and she was swinging her legs confidently, as if she wanted a gift of 10,000 yuan, and the person opposite had to give it to her.
Zhang Guiying suddenly became anxious, "You really think your daughter is a golden girl, and you still want thirty-six legs and one hundred yuan, and that's not much! Go out and ask, ask around the village which family's daughter you want The bride price is not twenty or thirty yuan. If you give any one of the three turns and one ring, you will be able to get married. Even a working girl in the city only pays this price! How dare you open your mouth? I have the nerve to say I don¡¯t want more!¡±
Zhang Guiying¡¯s mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, smoked a large pipe on the edge of the kang, raised her eyelids, glanced at Dong Caifeng, and said with a nonchalant tone: ¡°The Jin family¡¯s daughter-in-law has passed.¡±
"Rely on the old and sell the old." Dong Caifeng whispered and rolled his eyes.
She will have more.
Even if she raised the price, the four boys from the Qian family would also be willing to do so. It's useless for these old ladies to jump up and down. They can't do what the Qian family's four boys do.
Dong Caifeng was too lazy to talk to the old ladies in the Qian family and asked Qian Xiangdong directly: "Four boys, what do you say?"
Qian Xiangdong, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and looked at Dong Caifeng coldly. Dong Caifeng inadvertently looked at him and trembled with fright. It was as if a venomous snake with no temperature was sticking coldly to her skin, spitting its core in her face.
The little brat scared her to death!
Dong Caifeng secretly patted her chest and quickly straightened her expression. She was afraid that everyone would find out that she was frightened by the look from her prospective son-in-law, which would be too embarrassing.
Her third girl also has a crush on anyone. If she has a crush on such a cold-faced Yama, it is likely that other people besides her third girl will also look down on him. Without her third girl, the fourth boy of the Qian family would have to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
But there is an advantage to being attracted to her, that is, no matter how arrogant this fourth boy is outside, he will be nice to her daughter.
" It's like this sky-high price of a betrothal gift. No matter who wants it in the village, everyone has to pay for it. But when it comes to the fourth boy of the Qian family, even if the Jin family wants a mountain of gold and silver, the fourth boy is willing to accept it.
After waiting for a long time for Qian Xiangdong¡¯s answer, Dong Caifeng asked again, ¡°You guys from the Qian family, please give me a message.¡±
Qian Xiangdong glanced at Dong Caifeng with a serious look, then glanced coldly at Jin Guizhi, his proposed marriage partner, Dong Caifeng's third daughter, and asked coldly: "What did you say?"
Jin Guizhi knew that the gift her mother wanted was too high, but what could she do? She also has two younger brothers, who are a few years younger than Qian Xiangdong. They are about to get married, but because her family is poor, no one in the village is willing to let their daughter marry.
She must pay more attention to it, otherwise her two younger brothers will not have the money to buy a wife in the future.
Jin Guizhi doesn¡¯t think there is anything wrong with her thinking this way. People in the village are like this. They marry off their daughters and then use the daughter¡¯s gift money to find a wife for their son. It's just that her family's betrothal gift is a little higher than other families', but she still has two younger brothers waiting for a wife.
But no matter how high the betrothal gift was, Jin Guizhi, a girl, was still thin-skinned when it came to the two families discussing the engagement. She kept her head down and didn't dare to look at anyone, but her ears were perked up and she listened carefully.
Jin Guizhi was still very happy when she suddenly heard Qian Xiangdong ask her opinion by name. It shows that Qian Xiangdong respects her opinion very much. He is not married yet, so he always wants to discuss things with her. Jin Guizhi is so beautiful.
Her father has never respected her mother so much. He is the boss in the family, and her mother will do whatever she says. If she disobeys, she will be beaten by pressing her down on the ground.
Jin Guizhi naturally agrees with her opinion. If she can really ask for these gifts, not to mention that she has a face in the village, her two brothers will definitely be able to kiss each other. From the three turns and one ring, pick out any one of them and say that your daughter-in-law is beautiful., "Brother Xiangdong, youwhat's wrong with you?"
"It's not that I just think you're not worth the price. With this money, I can talk to girls who have registered residence in the city and have a job. You have to bring me back the money for this thing, and the dowry is also indispensable."
Jin Guizhi¡¯s eyes were red and she almost cried, ¡°But, they are not me?¡±
Qian Xiangdong frowned, "Do you think you can be better than the girls in the city?"
"I, I, you are talking about them, they are not me, I am unique." Jin Guizhi burst into tears, not caring how embarrassed the whole room was.
Qian Xiangdong sneered coldly, "The girl in the city is not you, she is equally unique. If you are a pheasant, don't blame her for not having a plane tree in her yard and dreaming of being a phoenix. Everyone is unique, and the prerequisite is to be able to recognize yourself. "
"I" Jin Guizhi couldn't continue. Qian Xiangdong had never treated her like this before. It was so embarrassing.
Dong Caifeng saw that the betrothal gift was no longer negotiated. He rolled his eyes and said immediately: "The worst thing is that the betrothal gift should be less. Eighty-year-old will be fine. Who wants to give his son a daughter-in-law and she has to spend some money."
The main reason is that her daughter can¡¯t give it to other people for such a price. At most, it¡¯s the same as the villagers, more than twenty or thirty yuan, and it doesn¡¯t even ring three times.
Qian Xiangdong sneered: "Keep this price and give it to your son as his wife!"
"How could my son talk about such an expensive marriage, what conditions, city girl." After saying this, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth. "Well, my third girl is not bad either. She doesn't have feelings for your childhood sweetheart. No amount of money can buy such feelings."
Qian Xiangdong stood up suddenly, interrupted Dong Caifeng, and pointed in the direction of the door, "Save the price of your daughter for those who are willing to talk about it. I will leave it at that today. Even if I have money, I don't want your daughter."
Dong Caifeng understood that the betrothal gift was too high and she was in a hurry to give money to Xiangdong. This is not okay, except for Qian Xiangdong, who is a fool, and is obsessed with her girl who is not very good at doing anything and can't eat anything. If she is willing to give more money as a bride price, others will not be willing.
He said with a stern look on his face: "Fifty, it's okay to give fifty as a bride price. Otherwise, instead of having thirty-six legs, you have to turn three times and ring every time."
"Get out!" Qian Xiangdong said coldly.
"It's not enough. I don't want all the three turns and one ring. I can just give you two items plus fifty yuan. Is that okay?" Dong Caifeng's face turned pale, as if he had been taken advantage of by Qian Xiangdong. "This can't be any less." ¡±
"Get out of here right away. Your daughter is free to me, and I don't want it."
Dong Caifeng was completely anxious now. Except for Qian Xiangdong, no one in the village would take advantage of her daughter.
Dong Caifeng wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Li knocked her pipe vigorously, "Boss, second, and fourth are all dead. I didn't hear the fourth boy saying that the Qian family doesn't want such a girl. Why don't you kick her out?"
It was only then that the Qian family realized that Qian Xiangdong really didn¡¯t want Jin Guizhi, and he wasn¡¯t just trying to scare people. Everyone who had long been holding their breath because of the sky-high price of the betrothal gift rushed forward. Women pushed women, men pushed men, and kicked out all the seven aunts and eight aunts from the Jin family who came to get engaged.
I came to the groom¡¯s house to get engaged and discuss the bride price, but the groom¡¯s family kicked me out like a chicken. There is no such shameful girl¡¯s family in this village.
The seven aunts and eight aunts who followed did not look good. Dong Caifeng's sister-in-law Li Cui was already at odds with her sisters-in-law, and she was angry with her cowards. She got angry at Dong Caifeng and said, "Just call me Guizhi." I really think that my daughter is a golden girl, and she has thirty-six legs and a hundred yuan as a gift. I really dare to ask for it, and I don¡¯t even think about what your family can give me as a dowry, a handful of rotten vegetable leaves. Bah! Pee before it¡¯s too late. Take care of yourself, don¡¯t not know who you are!¡±
After getting angry, Li Cui led the Jin family and left immediately, leaving Dong Caifeng and Jin Guizhi, mother and daughter, looking at each other.
Dong Caifeng was angry at Li Cui for being sarcastic and angry at Qian Xiangdong for humiliating her, which made her heart ache. She pinched her daughter hard several times to vent her anger.
"You're all useless trash. Didn't you say that the fourth boy from the Qian family has to be married to you in this life? Even if you want to kill him, he has to give it to you. In the end, you are in a hurry for such a small thing!"
Jin Guizhi rubbed the sore spot where her mother pinched her, not daring to talk back, and kept sobbing.
Dong Caifeng pinched her a few more times and cursed a few more times before she felt that she felt relieved and calmed down.
Thinking of Qian Xiangdong¡¯s unwavering infatuation for her third daughter in the past ten years, she felt that her third daughter was extremely virtuous and capable, but the fact was that she was still the same. She had even secretly envied her third daughter more than once. Under such circumstances, she didn't believe that Qian Xiangdong would really abandon her daughter just because of such a small gift money.
Dong Caifeng said bitterly: "The fourth boy from the Qian family has a deep affection for you. He won't really want you just because of this small gift. I guess he was forced to panic today. After he calms down in two days, he will have to come and beg me to take you away." Marry him."
"Just wait, when he comes to beg me again, it won't be at this price. I will definitely use his money to work as a cow and horse for our Lao Jin family for the rest of my life!"
Jin Guizhi rubbed the painful place pinched by her mother without making a sound.
