Because Xu Laowu was seriously injured, the person who came to talk to the Shi family was Xu Laowu.
Boss Xu has always been a smiling man. Otherwise, he would not have gone from being a country boy to becoming a worker in the county.
Regarding the Shi family's suggestion of marrying Shi Jiang to Xu Laowu, Mr. Xu scoffed and didn't even bother to look at Shi Jiang.
She is just a country girl. Marrying into the old Xu family will not help the old Xu family at all.
His request was very simple, let the Shi family pay compensation, three hundred yuan, not even a cent less.
When the old man heard that he had to pay so much money, he almost didn't breathe.
He raised several children, married a wife and had children. Over the decades, he only managed to save a hundred dollars.
Boss Xu was so aggressive that he asked for three hundred yuan as soon as he left the house. Why didn't he grab it?
However, when Boss Xu left Shi's house, he smiled sinisterly, his eyes swiped across Shi Laosan's face like a knife, and then he said to Old Man Shi.
"I'll give you a week to collect the money. If you don't want to give me the money, that's okay. Let your third child go to the farm and be imprisoned for decades. It will be a way to vent my anger on my fifth child."
Hearing what Boss Xu said, Shi Laosan suddenly panicked and cried to his mother with runny nose and tears that he didn't want to go to the farm.
Mrs. Shi, who originally thought that the Xu family wanted so much money and didn't want to give it, couldn't bear her younger son's crying and suddenly softened her heart.
He also followed the third child, wiping his tears and asking Old Man Shi to think of a way to prevent the third child from going to the farm.
Old man Shi was almost mad at these two people. Boss Xu said that if he didn't want to go to the farm, he would have to pay for it.
But the family only has so little money, how can it be enough to compensate?
In addition, when he heard Mrs. Shi said that she wanted to help Shi Laosan pay money to the Xu family, Shi Laoer was the first to refuse and jumped up.
The implication behind the words is that if Old Man Shi and Old Mrs. Shi were to compensate the third child for the money, they would have to divide his family first. His family would get their share of the money, and the remaining money would go to their two elders.
If they are still willing to pay for the third child, that's up to them.
Shi Lao Er felt that his decision was worthy of Lao San.
But Shi Laosan felt that Shi Laoer wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill himself!
This is not the second brother who is a direct relative. I’m afraid he doesn’t have many enemies, right?
The two brothers were like cockfighters because they disliked each other.
From time to time, they would come forward and peck each other.
Old Man Shi and Old Mrs. Shi had a headache over this, but the money was still in the hands of the old couple, so no matter how much Shi Laoer acted, as long as the old man and Mrs. Shi didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.
Originally, the old man didn't want to lose money and settle the matter. After all, he had searched all over the house and it was not enough for 200 yuan. There was still more than 100 yuan missing!
Therefore, Old Man Shi was very hesitant for a moment as to whether he should give up his third son.
Although he is not as doting on his younger son as his wife, he is still his favorite among the three sons.
Who makes Shi Laosan have the sweetest mouth and be the most coaxing!
If he was asked to go to the farm and go to jail, Old Man Shi would still be reluctant to do so.
However, the family does not have enough money, so what can the old man do even if he is reluctant to part with it?
Shi Laosan and Shi Laoer were at each other's throats at first, but as the days passed, his father and mother became more and more silent, and Shi Laosan began to panic.
Since the Xu family doesn't want Shi Jiang, then find another family with a high betrothal gift for Shi Jiang.
But for people in the countryside, if they can earn a few dozen yuan a year, it is already considered pretty good, let alone more than a hundred yuan?
Even if there is, it is impossible to spend all of it to marry a country woman.
As for the marriage that my mother-in-law said she was looking for for Shi Jiang, there would be no benefit at all. How could Shi Laosan be willing to do so?
After thinking about it, Shi Laosan really thought of a family, the sick young man from the Xiao family.
The Xiao family had promised to pay Shi Jiang 100 yuan before, but for some reason, the sick man refused to agree.
I heard that a few days ago, for some reason, the sick man fell ill when he returned home. He had a high fever and was confused.
The old lady of the Xiao family had to go everywhere to pray to gods and worship Buddha, just to leave this little bit of blood for the Xiao family.
Because Sick Yangzi’s parents died not long after giving birth to Sick Yangzi. Mrs. Xiao lost her husband in her early years and her son in old age. In grief, she returned to her hometown here with her grandson who was frail after birth.
Fallen leaves return to their roots, and when they wait a hundred years, they won’t have to be a ghost in a foreign land.
As for the Xiao family's income, it includes the money that Mrs. Xiao has saved over the years, plus the pension from the sick man's parents, so there is no shortage of money at all.
Shi Laosan, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, went to Xiao's house to find Mrs. Xiao, and asked Shi Jiang to prepare a wedding for her grandson.
Looking at her feverish grandson, Mrs. Xiao's heart moved shamefully.
After sitting next to her unconscious grandson's bed for two days and two nights, Mrs. Xiao wiped away her tears, returned to her room, took out a hundred yuan from where she hid her money, and firmly opened the door and went to Shi's house.
.
Shi Jiang learned that he was promised to the Xiao family again when Shi Lao Er and Shi Lao San were fighting in the yard, and Shi Lao Er pointed at Shi Lao San and scolded him for selling his daughter for himself.
When Shi Lao San saw Shi Jiang staring at him coldly, he didn't feel guilty at all, he just stared at Shi Lao Er hatefully.
"Second brother, I didn't sell your daughter. Are you saying this now to kill me, my brother?"
Let him go to the farm and go to jail, it will cost his life.
Shi Lao Er sighed and wanted to say something else.
Old Man Shi stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, we are all biological brothers, but you have broken bones and connected muscles. Brother, do you really have the heart to see your brother go to the farm?"
Old Man Shi gave Shi Lao Er a hard look, and Shi Lao Er could only close his eyes in embarrassment, lowered his head in frustration, and did not dare to reply.
Seeing that the second brother could still listen to him, the old man had a plan in mind.
I had more than a hundred yuan in my hand, plus the hundred yuan sent by the old lady of the Xiao family. With the remaining dozens of yuan, I went to the village to find the team leader and borrow some from the village. At the end of the year, I borrowed some from their
Work points are deducted.
There was a big difference in money before, so he had no choice but to give it up even if he didn't want to.
Now since the third child can be saved, it is natural that he should be saved.
As for whether Shi Jiang is willing or not, and whether he agrees to the marriage, it is not at all considered by Old Man Shi.
Shi Jiang didn't expect that after all the trouble, he would still have to marry that sick young man from the Xiao family.
It seems that Tiandao is still working hard to bring the plot back to its original route?
Shi Sixian was so happy that she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. After all, as long as Shi Jiang married that sick young man from the Xiao family, Shi Jiang would never have the chance to marry Han Lin after he went to the countryside.
Him!
Shi Jiang looked at Shi Sixian, who was so nervous and snickering at him from time to time, and was speechless.
