For Zhang Laosan to date Jiujiu, Zhang Fugui felt that his ancestors were burning incense. When he heard Jiujiu say that she was going to marry Zhang Laosan, Zhang Fugui's eyes lit up. He immediately thought about how much dowry Jiujiu would bring with her since she was so generous. When he thought about it, his heart instantly heated up. He couldn't wait for Jiujiu to marry Zhang Laosan right now.
Because he thought about how much benefit Jiujiu and Zhang Laosan's marriage would bring him, Zhang Fugui looked at Jiujiu and asked, "When are you and Laosan going to get married?"
After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Our family's situation is a bit bad. If you come over, we might have to wait for a while to rebuild the house."
Zhang Fugui looked at Jiujiu apologetically, as if delaying the marriage between Jiujiu and Zhang Fugui was a very heinous thing.
If he didn't know the inside story, or if Zhang Fugui didn't bring him to the blind date with Widow Mu and let him be the live-in son-in-law, Zhang Laosan would really treat Zhang Fugui as a kind father. However, Zhang Laosan let him go on a blind date with this widow who was much older than him. He even let him be the live-in son-in-law for money.
When Zhang Fugui said such hypocritical words, Zhang Laosan only felt that it was very hypocritical.
It wasn't like he didn't know about the recent turmoil in his family. His sister-in-law used their child to threaten his parents to build a brick house. His parents married Laosan and Laosan for dowry. Now, it was his turn.
Zhang Laosan always knew that Zhang Fugui was biased towards Zhang Laosan, but he didn't expect him to be so biased. For the sake of one son, he destroyed another son's life. This was no longer being biased, this was bad. Moreover, it was bad to the bone.
The corner of Zhang Laosan's mouth gently twitched. His face was gloomy. It was as if there was no greater sorrow than despair.
After Zhang Fugui finished talking to Jiujiu about his family's difficulties, he saw Zhang Laosan's gloomy expression. He was afraid that Jiujiu would notice something, so he quickly said, "Laosan, say something."
Zhang Laosan raised his eyelids and looked at his parents who he had been living with for more than 20 years, but he still couldn't see clearly. He turned his head and looked at Jiujiu with a concerned face. Zhang Laosan pursed his lips and said, "Since our family has no money, I can be the live-in son-in-law of a widow Mu, and Jiujiu. I want to be the live-in son-in-law of Jiu. I want to be the live-in son-in-law of Jiu..."
Jiujiu originally wanted Zhang Laosan to be her live-in son-in-law.
Although it was a very shameful thing to be a live-in son-in-law here, where was his identity? Moreover, he had helped everyone. Even if they felt that he wasn't good enough, they were embarrassed to say it out loud. Secondly, being a live-in son-in-law was like sending their own son to someone else's house. It could be said that once Zhang Laosan became her live-in son-in-law, except for the death of Zhang Fugui and Li Huiru, there was basically no need to inform Zhang Laosan. This was equivalent to Zhang Laosan cutting off his relationship with the old Family Zhang.
Hearing Zhang Laosan's words, Zhang Fugui was almost angered to death. Zhang Fugui's eyes widened and stared at Zhang Laosan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Laosan, what did you say? Do you know that being a live-in son-in-law will be criticized? "
Hearing Zhang Fugui's words, the smile on Zhang Laosan's face became even more sarcastic.
Since Zhang Fugui knew that being a live-in son-in-law would be criticized, why did he ask him to be a live-in son-in-law? Moreover, it was the live-in son-in-law of a widow.
Zhang Laosan raised his eyelids and looked at the anxious Zhang Fugui. He turned his head and looked at Jiujiu. He said, "If I become a live-in son-in-law, will you dislike me?"
Jiujiu shook her head. "No."
Hearing Jiujiu say no, the corner of Zhang Laosan's mouth hooked up, revealing a very faint smile. Zhang Laosan looked at Zhang Fugui and said softly without emotion, "You just told my mother that if this widow gave you eight hundred yuan, you would send me to be a live-in son-in-law."
Hearing Zhang Laosan say what he said to Li Huiru and Widow Mu, Zhang Fugui's forehead was instantly covered in a layer of cold sweat. He subconsciously looked at Jiujiu.
However, before Zhang Fugui could delve into the expression on Jiujiu's face, he heard Zhang Laosan continue to say, "Jiujiu, do you have money?"
Jiujiu directly took out her wallet and handed it to Zhang Laosan, letting him see it for himself.
Zhang Laosan opened the wallet and looked at the bulging money in the wallet. His eyes became even redder.
After Zhang Laosan counted out a thousand yuan from Jiujiu's wallet, he handed the wallet to Jiujiu and then handed the money to Aunt Wang. He said, "Here is a thousand yuan. Father, mother, take it. I will be the live-in son-in-law of Jiujiu's family in the future. I won't be able to help you in the future."
Aunt Wang looked at Jiujiu, looked at Zhang Laosan, and then looked at Zhang Fugui, who had an ugly expression. She didn't know whether she should take the money or not.
But before she could think about it carefully, Jiujiu directly took the money from Zhang Laosan's hand. After taking it into her own hand, she looked at Zhang Fugui and said, "I used to study law. Everything is about evidence. Can I trouble Father Zhang to write a written agreement for me?"
Zhang Fugui looked up almost sluggishly. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Zhang Fugui wanted to refuse, but Li Huiru agreed.
Although Li Huiru didn't say anything, she had been observing Jiujiu and Zhang Laosan. Although Jiujiu always had a smile on her face, there was no warmth. There was no respect in her eyes when she looked at them. Zhang Laosan kept his head down. Thinking about what she and Zhang Fugui said in front of Zhang Laosan, Li Huiru knew that Zhang Laosan had completely given up on them.
Since it was impossible for Jiujiu to marry them no matter what they said, and Zhang Laosan had a look of approval, instead of continuing to beg for peace, it was better to send Zhang Laosan away with the money like this.
When he heard Li Huiru agree, Zhang Fugui immediately glared at Li Huiru fiercely, but Li Huiru seemed to know nothing. She just looked at Jiujiu and said, "We can write a written agreement, but the money …"
"Aunty Li, rest assured. As long as you write a written agreement, the money will naturally be yours." After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at the people in the room, especially after seeing Widow Mu. She smiled and said, "Aunty and Uncle are illiterate. Naturally, we have to find a person of virtue and prestige to write a written agreement. When I came, I had already invited the village chief. I hope Uncle and Aunty can wait for a moment."
When they heard Jiujiu say that she had already called the village chief, Zhang Fugui and Li Huiru looked at each other. For a moment, they couldn't figure it out. How did this girl know that they were here and even called the village chief over?
