The matter of Diaozhuang immigration was settled. As the leader, Zhang Shucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile returned to his face.
'This time, it's all thanks to Defu's father. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know if this thing would have been possible.'
'call!'
'The matter assigned by County Magistrate Yang has finally been completed.'
During this period of time, Zhang Shucheng was under great pressure. He was a retired cadre and this was his first contact with the grassroots. After what he had experienced yesterday, his heart was already feeling cold.
Who would have thought that "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright flowers and dark trees".
That’s it!
Zhang Shucheng thought to himself that since Defu's father had helped him a lot this time, no matter what he said in the future, he would have to keep Defu by his side and train him carefully.
Although all the villagers have agreed to go to Yuquanying again, Yuquanying is too far away from Yongquan Village after all. Because of this, the villagers will not be able to travel between the two places frequently for a long time in the future.
Therefore, dealers need a period of time to prepare well.
Zhang Shucheng was not the kind of unkind cadre. He promised the villagers to give them a week to prepare. A week later, he would arrive at Yongquan Village on time and take the villagers to Yuquan Camp, 400 kilometers away.
However, this time there was one more household in the Diaozhuang immigration list. Li Jie fulfilled his promise and signed up for Diaozhuang, so there were a total of eight Diaozhuang households going to Yuquanying this time.
Taking advantage of the week's preparation time, Li Jie went out for a trip. He went out to prepare the "betrothal money" for his son Ma Defu.
Four thousand yuan was definitely a huge amount of money for the people in the Xihaigu area, but to others at that time, this amount of money was just a very small amount to Li Jie.
He had many ways to collect this 'huge amount of money' in a short period of time. This time, he chose the simplest and crudest way - gambling!
(We strongly recommend readers not to follow this example. Little Xingxing lost miserably during the Chinese New Year, and her quarterly royalties were wasted. PS: Little
I lose every year, even if I talk too much, I will shed tears o(╥﹏╥)o )
Generally speaking, gambling skills rely on hearing, eyesight, hand speed, and hand response to weight and control of strength, and Li Jie has all of these conditions.
Back then, Chen Daozai could win 37 million with 20 yuan, and Li Jie could win tens of thousands with dozens of yuan. It was definitely not a problem.
…
…
…
Three days later, Li Jie returned home with a huge sum of 30,000 yuan in his arms.
At the same time, the legend of the "Old God of Gamblers" also began to spread in various districts and counties in Xihaigu. However, this legend was only popular in a small circle because Li Jie was always on point in every venue and never in a venue.
Won more than 3,000 yuan.
After returning to Yongquan Village, Li Jie immediately came to Li Laoshuan's house and slapped wads of banknotes in front of him.
Seeing the wads of banknotes, Li Laoshuan completely let go of his worries, and while counting the banknotes, he happily agreed to Ma Defu and Shui Hua's marriage.
As for the betrothal gifts, wedding fees and banquet money for settling down in Kushui Village, Li Jie did not pay Li Laoshuan directly, but sent his cheap son Ma Defu to deliver them in person. The reason why he did not give them directly to Li Laoshuan was because the money moved people's hearts.
, he was worried that Li Laoshuan would misappropriate the money.
This suspicion is not unfounded. After all, the amount of money paid to Anjia was as high as 2,500 yuan. In the early 1990s, especially in the Xihaigu area, 2,500 yuan was an out-and-out huge sum.
The value of this money is probably about the same as buying a house in future generations.
For poorer families, they can probably collect this much by emptying out four wallets.
Kushui Village.
Ma Defu raised his head and glanced at the sign at the entrance of the village, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, his expression could be described as highly nervous, and he kept clutching the canvas bag on his chest.
The reason for this is because there is too much money in the bag. Ma Defu has never seen so many banknotes in his whole life.
When his father took out this huge sum of money in front of his face, his first reaction was not surprise, but shock!
Although he later asked where the money came from, Li Jie never told him and just said it softly.
'Children, don't worry about so many things, just use the money!'
Seeing his father's mysterious behavior, Ma Defu did not continue to ask questions, because he believed that his father would not do such illegal things.
Kushui Village is not big, and Anjia is easy to find. After asking a villager along the road, Ma Defu successfully found Anjia.
After a brief negotiation, Ma Defu left Kushui Village.
On the other hand, after the An family received the compensation money from Ma Defu, although they still felt a little resentful, they tolerated it for the sake of the money.
In fact, the money paid by the An family was not as much as 2,500 yuan, because the donkey originally belonged to their own family, and it was an old donkey over thirteen years old. Putting a donkey of this age on the market would
It simply can't be sold at a high price.
In addition, sheep and chickens are also raised by the villagers of Kushui Village, and the An family also raises sheep and chickens. The two sheep and two cages of chickens included in the bride price are completely self-produced and sold.
After all the calculations, the An family did not spend more than 1,000 yuan on buying betrothal gifts, but Ma Debao gave away 2,500 yuan. With each entry and exit, the An family made more than 1,000 yuan.
.
With just over a thousand yuan extra, the An family could marry a new daughter-in-law.
Although the An family lost face because of the "repented marriage" incident, they still gained face. The An family was equivalent to using "other people's" money to prostitute a new daughter-in-law for nothing.
In this way, what else are they dissatisfied with? Is there any more profitable 'business' than this?
Obviously not!
After Li Jie's interference, Li Laoshuan got double the betrothal gift, the An family got more than expected 'compensation', Ma Defu got his wish to marry his beloved Shui Hua, and Shui Hua also got his wish to marry Ma Defu. This is a win-win situation for all parties.
.
No, to be precise, it’s Wufang, because one of Li Jie’s missions is to ‘make his children live a happy life’.
If Ma Defu and Shui Hua miss each other like in the original work, Li Jie estimates that this task will most likely be judged to have failed based on the nature of the system.
However, now Li Jie only spent less than 10,000 yuan to solve the lifelong problem of his cheap son Ma Defu. In his opinion, this money is not too cost-effective.
At the same time, Li Jie also sighed secretly.
Yongquan Village is also too poor. So poor that you can marry off (sell) your daughter for a thousand yuan. So poor that many men cannot marry a wife. So poor that many of the wives who do marry will never work again as soon as they go out to work.
He came back and even disappeared directly into the vast sea of people.
The above are not limited to Yongquan Village, but are the same in most of the entire Xihaigu area. The only difference is that this village has more and which village has less.
