Zhang Dongmei took the money and said, "Thank you, third sister-in-law. If it weren’t for you and the third brother, I wouldn’t be able to earn so much money in less than a month."
Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu smiled and said casually, "Sister-in-law, this might sound a little crazy, but I had a dream a month ago. In a few years, we may be able to do business openly and own a house privately. Even if this is just a dream, we should save money for the future. Maybe, my dream will really come true. By then, we will need a lot of money to buy a house and start a business."
Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, I really hope your dream can come true. It would be great if our children and grandchildren could live a better life than us."
After hearing her words, Lu Jueyu just smiled and said nothing. She had already hinted to her sister-in-law. Whether they can buy a house in the future depends on them. After chatting for a while, she left and went to her parents’ house.
After seeing her off, Zhang Dongmei took out the jar hidden under her cabinet. Opening the jar, it was filled with the money she and her husband had earned for years. She counted the money, put it back in the jar, and hid it again. There is a total of 16,302 yuan in the jar.
Although she is not sure whether her third sister-in-law’s dream will happen in the future, it is better to prepare in advance. She would save more money just in case.
At Gao family’s house, Su Anna was already awake, leaning on the pillow on the Kang bed in disbelief.
Sitting in front of her was Grandma Gao. She looked at Su Anna’s swollen, pale face and said, "Comrade Su, since you and Da Gao have been discovered by the villagers in that kind of situation, I will accept you as my Gao family’s daughter-in-law. You should have a good rest and recover soon. When your swelling and rash subsides, we will hold a wedding banquet for you.
However, I will tell you now, my family will only give you a bride price of ten yuan."
Hearing her words, Su Anna was seething with anger. Not to mention Grandma Gao’s words were degrading to her, by giving her a bride price of ten yuan was simply a naked humiliation, a slap to her face!
Not to mention Lu Jueyu, who has received the highest bride price of several hundred yuan and a radio, even an ordinary village woman will receive at least 30 yuan in bride price. As an educated youth, how could her bride price be lower than that of a village woman?!
But before she could say anything, Grandma Gao added, "If you refuse this marriage, you will go to jail. You’d better think about it carefully. You are 22 years old and can’t earn many work points with your weak body. Although you have passed the marriage age, Da Gao likes you. If you marry my Da Gao, you won’t have to worry about being an old maid and not having food to eat."
