Chapter 70 No Country for Old Men
Sun Youtian quickly stopped, "Mom! She's still a child!"
He pushed all the peanuts in front of him to Sun Aijun, "Eat them all for you, where do you get all this sweat from?"
Sun Aijun ate peanuts proudly and said, "We took a walk around the village!"
Jiang Huamei hurriedly asked, "Are you at the Hu's house again?"
Sun Aijun stopped eating the peanuts and curled his lips and hummed: "Why don't I go find Hu Xiaocui!"
"Why are you looking for her again!"
"Who is Hu Xiaocui?" Sun Youtian has been away from home for a few years and has no impression of this name. ianfenge
Jiang Huamei complained: "It was brought by the widow accountant Hu later married. He has a foxy look and seduced Aijun so much that he ran to his house every day!"
Sun Aijun didn't eat the peanuts either. He scratched his neck and said, "Don't talk about Xiaocui!"
"Okay, don't tell me. I know you care about that girl. I also admit that she is handsome, but our family's conditions are not worthy of others!"
"What's wrong with me? Why am I not worthy of it!" Sun Aijun fumed.
Sun Youtian advised: "That's right! What's wrong with us loving the army? Look at how energetic he is!"
"What's the use of your energy? She's the daughter of Accountant Hu's family. She can take a fancy to a poor family like ours!"
Sun Youtian frowned, "What can't you see? Isn't he just a dragster!"
Jiang Huamei lowered her voice and said, "I said it was because I was a prostitute, so I changed my surname when I came here. I heard that the widow had hooked up with Accountant Hu a long time ago. That girl is Accountant Hu's father!"
Sun Youtian's face froze, "It's not easy to say this nonsense. Accountant Hu will be disgraced if word spreads about it!"
"Mom knows what she knows! Just tell her at home!"
"I think Aijun has reached his age, so I might as well ask the matchmaker to come and ask for a message. Maybe it will be done!"
Jiang Huamei snorted, "I've already asked whether the breastfitter will care for the eldest grandson. Her family's requirements are too high and we can't satisfy her!"
Sun Aijun stamped his feet, "I am the eldest grandson, are you trying to prevent me from getting a wife?"
"Mom, what does her family want?"
"Her family has two requirements, as long as one of them is met!"
"What request?" Sun Youtian asked.
"The first is that the man has a job in the city! The second is that he pays 300 yuan as a gift, whatever he wants is enough!"
Hearing this, Sun Youtian lowered his lips and said, "This is too much. I asked all over the village how many people can work in the city!"
"As for the bride price, 50 yuan is already too much for a country man. His daughter is made of gold, and it actually costs 300 yuan!"
Jiang Huamei sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. People just ask for a job or money, but our family doesn't have either!"
Sun Aijun felt aggrieved, "I care about Xiao Cui, you can't watch me become a bachelor! Second uncle, please give me your job!"
Sun Youtian was startled. He got his job by chance in the first place. He was assigned only to him and it was impossible to replace him.
Why did he say: "Aijun, it's not that my second uncle doesn't love you, this job can't be changed, otherwise I would have given it to your third uncle back then!"
Jiang Huamei also knew the reason and hummed: "Forget it, think of the second way!"
I want a gift of 300 yuan!
Sun Youtian gritted his teeth. The two of them had not eaten or drank for a year, but they could eat it. But there were seven mouths in the house. How could they hang them up and stop eating?
My younger sister also needs money to buy a job. No wonder my mother is so worried and sick.
"300 yuan is too much. I will find you a beautiful girl tomorrow!"
"No, I want Xiao Cui, and no one else will like her!" Sun Aijun was stubborn.
Jiang Huamei patted him lovingly, "Nai Youxin Chengcheng really can't get the money. Even if you smash my old bones, you can't sell it for 300 yuan!"
Sun Youtian finally couldn't bear it when he saw his old lady with white hair and wrinkled face.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll figure it out!"
"Really, second uncle, I knew you loved me the most! It's great that I can get a wife!"
Sun Youtian said this in a flash of his mind. Seeing his eldest nephew grinning with joy, it was hard for him to refuse.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle will definitely allow you to marry a wife in a glorious way when you go back to borrow money!"
Jiang Huamei and Sun Laogen didn't expect the second child to be so bold and agreed to give 300 yuan as a gift.
The two looked at each other but said nothing.
Over there, Sun Aijun had already run back to the main room to tell his mother the good news.
"Boy, can you really borrow so much money?"
After Sun Youtian said the big words, he could only bite the bullet and said: "It should be possible to think of a way, just give me more time!"
He spoke in a hesitant manner, and Jiang Huamei knew what he was saying, but she didn't push him too hard.
"Second brother! Mom knows that you are dedicated to the good of the family, but you don't have to be too pushy! Marrying a wife is a big deal for Aijun. Let's think of something together and we can't put all the burden on you!"
Sun Youtian, who was feeling embarrassed just now, suddenly felt light on his body. If it wasn't just three hundred yuan, it was nothing!
Just as he was about to pat his chest to assure himself, his wife's sarcastic eyes suddenly flashed before his eyes, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"Yes! The three of us brothers will definitely get Aijun a wife!"
Jiang Huamei paused and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, it's getting late, go back and rest!"
She told him to go back, but her eyes kept staring at him.
Sun Youtian understood what his mother meant, but when he came, his wife forcefully took the money away.
He smiled awkwardly, "Mom, wait a minute! I'll go back to the room to get the money!"
Jiang Huamei smiled, it seems that the money is in the hands of the second daughter-in-law!
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, I'm just worried that you'll be tired from the journey, so take a rest first!" She smiled more and more kindly.
Sun Youtian ran back to the west wing in embarrassment. Seeing his wife and children sitting around the kang, he coughed twice.
"Give me all the money your mother brought!"
Mingyue didn't even raise her eyelids, "You said your mother is seriously ill and may die. Now that she can work in the fields, you have nothing to think about!"
Sun Youtian was startled, "What are you talking about? Aren't you happy that my mother is in good health?"
"Happy! Of course I'm happy, who wouldn't be happy if I don't have to spend more money!" Mingyue sneered.
Sun Youtian wanted to say a few more words, but thinking about what he had just agreed to, he felt short of breath for a moment.
A group of children were there, whispering, "Come out first, I have something to tell you!"
Mingyue didn't even move. "They are all my children. If you have anything to say, tell me in person!"
Sun Youtian was lucky and said: "Mom wants to buy a job for my little sister. It is related to my little sister's marriage. We are still short of 60 yuan. Let's pay 40 yuan first!"
Mingyue noticed that the children's faces changed at the same time, laughed secretly, and picked her ears, "What? I didn't hear clearly, say it again!"
Sun Aiguo's children also stared wide-eyed, thinking that his father was crazy, right?
It’s only 48 yuan a month, and if he spends 40 yuan just by talking, can they still survive?
Sun Aimin was even more anxious. He was already thinking about how to manage the family's finances in the future.
It's amazing that his father dug such a big hole in one go.
"Dad, my sister-in-law wants to buy a job, why should I give her money?"
"When adults speak, children should stop interrupting!" Sun Youtian became angry in embarrassment.
Although Sun Aimin was smart, he was only nine years old after all, so he didn't dare to say a word when he yelled at him.
