He couldn't help but sigh that this was an era that tested acting skills. Moreover, he really couldn't turn a blind eye when it was time to cooperate.
"We have to discuss this matter together." Peng Dihua knew that he had met his match.
"It's true that we are from the countryside, but country people are different from country people." Peng Yue's mother was dissatisfied with her man's bashful attitude. She put down her chopsticks, tidied up her curly hair, leaned back on the chair, and then crossed her hands on her crossed legs. She said slowly, "We only have one daughter in our family, and she is even rarer than our son. Her eldest and second brothers have been beating each other to death since they were young, but her father and I have never poked a finger at this girl.
Fortunately, she works hard and studies much harder than the two of them. She is the only girl in our village who has been admitted to university. The rest are not blind, but they are almost there.
Not to mention that she is one in a hundred, but she has never lost face. These years, there have been at least eighty people who have come to propose marriage. They have promised houses and cars, and even said that if they let her go there, she will be the boss's wife. No matter how poor we are, there is no reason for us to be greedy for money. We have been dragging it on. Well, this girl actually started talking to herself, and she is even from another place. Her father and I are worried, but as the old people, we can't object. Who asked them to like each other? "
The meaning of her words was very clear. What's so great about having a house and a car!
My daughter can even choose with her eyes closed, and she can find such a family. Why does she need to find a country person like you!
And a person without a degree!
"Sigh, as parents, don't they all think the same?" Third Aunt smiled. She was not stupid and could understand the meaning of her words. She was not a kind person, or else she would not have been able to remain undefeated in the battle with her mother-in-law for so many years. She would not dare to be the daughter-in-law of Old Li's family. The only exception was the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Yulan. Because the eldest daughter-in-law did not have a good life, Old Madam felt sorry for her, and basically did not argue with her. As for her and the second daughter-in-law, they did not have such treatment.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "People from the countryside are different from each other. In the past ten years, we lived worse than anyone else. We were envious of people steaming white steamed buns. Unlike us, who only steamed a pot of steamed buns during the New Year and other festivals. Now I think about it, that life was not something that people could live.
However, as the saying goes, the river flows east for thirty years and then turns west for thirty years. We can't be rich now, but there are two hotels, one restaurant, six stores, and two factories collecting dividends. It is enough for us to live.
The older we get, the less capable we are. We don't even like our children. After my eldest daughter graduated from college, she started her own business. The day before yesterday, we went to the store to take a look. Even though the store employs more than ten people, the child is still very busy. We are old and can't help but feel sorry for her.
This little one, the son of the family, always spoils him a little. When he was young, he was mischievous, and we didn't know what to do with him. But when he grows up, he can actually manage a 300-square-meter supermarket by himself. There are only four of us, and he works himself to death all day long. "
She spoke without any pause. It was because these words had been brewing in her heart for a long time, but she did not say it out loud. Within a few miles, everyone knew that her family started with the eldest son of Li Zhaokun's family. Showing off without a reason would be a joke. Besides, if Li Zhaokun heard about it, he might even roll his eyes. Li Zhaokun was not as rich as them!
At this moment, they were eight hundred miles away from their hometown, and there was no one she was familiar with, so she could only show off!
As for Li He, she ignored him, because she believed that in this situation, her eldest nephew would understand!
After being reprimanded, the Peng family was speechless for a while. In order to ease the atmosphere, Li He smiled and said, "Aunt Peng, Uncle Peng, what do you think about this? We can't miss out on any of these gifts. The two children have just entered society and have not saved up any money. As adults, we have to help them and have some money in our pockets. Peng Yue, Li Kuo, this old man is not stingy. I'll give you 100,000, how about it?"
Although it was said to be the money for the young couple, it was actually the betrothal gift for the Peng family. As for whether the Peng family would allow Peng Yue to bring it back, that was another matter, but he had to say so.
This was the number that he and Li Zhaohui had agreed on a long time ago.
In a remote village, giving three to five thousand was a reasonable amount, but in a coastal area or some big cities, ten thousand was the minimum, and fifty to sixty thousand was not a lot.
If they really insisted that this was a feudal bad habit, unless they were as good-looking as Pan An or could really meet a blind girl, the probability of them being single was quite high.
Li Kuo looked at Peng Yue, and Peng Yue looked at her parents.
Peng Dihua coughed and said, "Come, in-law, let's have a toast."
"I'll drink it up. Do as you please." Li Zhaohui happily stood up and clinked glasses, which meant that Peng Dihua agreed.
"Why are you standing here? You're making me feel embarrassed to sit." Peng Dihua also stood up. The Li family's generosity was beyond their expectations, so at this moment, they naturally agreed without hesitation.
The dinner lasted until three o 'clock. Li Yan drove one car, and Dong Hao drove the other. They went to Li Kuo's new house together to have a cup of tea and discuss the specific details of the wedding.
"The area from the east of Xinlu to Taoran Pavilion is a mass grave, and the best business is the coffin shop next to it."
Li Kuo's residential area was opposite Taoran Pavilion Park, which was located on the second ring road. The environment was good, the school district was good, and the house type was good. However, Peng Dihua was still picky. "I used to send coal to the city, and I often used the building across the street. But when it rains, it's all blocked, and people can't leave."
Li Kuo said, "The entrance to the food market needs to be renovated, and all the buildings across the street will be demolished. When that happens, the environment will be better."
This house was given to him by his sister, Li He, and he still owed Li He a lot of debt. Naturally, he could not afford to buy a new house.
Third Aunt naturally could not see her son being wronged like this, not even his father-in-law. She interrupted, "Although I'm a country woman, and I don't know much, I heard that many people in the city are waiting for the government to allocate a house to them. Even with a salary of six or seven hundred a month, they can't buy a house just because they want to, right?"
"We're still young, and we have a long time ahead of us. If we're really not satisfied, we can earn our own money and buy another house." Peng Yue, who had not spoken since the beginning, had to mediate at this time.
"What do you know?" Peng Yue was rolled her eyes by her mother.
