But I don’t blame others for speaking harshly. The figure of the bride price mentioned by the woman is indeed a bit exaggerated.
They have never heard of anything with this price.
"Zhuzi, why did the girl's parents suddenly change their mind and increase the money?"
"According to Aunt Chen, someone suddenly introduced a job to her son during the day yesterday. He was to take someone else's class and work as an apprentice in an electrical and mechanical factory. But they wanted three hundred yuan, so it was all on me.
"
"What did the girl say?"
"What else can she say? It all depends on her parents."
Yeah, that would be completely out of the question.
Yes, after all, this girl has only met you for the second time, how could she resist her parents for you?
But this is normal. Li Heng thought that something had changed because of his arrival, but it seems that it hasn't happened so far.
To be honest, he didn't want He Yuzhu to change. In that case, it would really be a lot less fun in the future.
For example, the woman who stands at the door every afternoon waiting for food is missing.
"But Aunt Chen also told me that she still has girls of marriageable age, and she will introduce them to me again later."
Ha, no wonder this boy didn't react much. He felt that the matchmaker had already promised that the next one would be better.
However, her parents still have to continue their crusade against that girl.
The third aunt and Sister Liu started talking to each other. After a while, the second aunt in the backyard also came over. After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, she also joined the team.
Li Heng and the other three men looked at each other, then silently stepped back a few steps, leaving the stage to the women. The three of them squatted next to them and began to listen to the play.
He Yuzhu followed suit, and Liu Ge's historical experience told him that when several women get together to criticize something with righteous indignation, it is best for men to stay as far away as possible to avoid being hurt.
As for Li Heng...
Haha, he just felt that it was noisy. At the same time, he deeply agreed with the old saying that three women play a role.
They don't even care about the rightful owner, so why are they so excited?
Asking for a betrothal gift is basically a matter of willingness to give or take. If you can afford it, pay it. If you can't afford it, just avoid it. They will leave it to the person who is destined.
Don't criticize other people just because of this one thing. Everyone has different views and it is allowed to seek common ground while reserving differences.
"Hey Brother Liu, can you bring something out from the factory after get off work?"
Li Heng suddenly remembered that Zhuzi would often bring food from the factory in the future, but he was deeply doubtful about this, so he thought of asking.
"What are you thinking? How is it possible? There are soldiers standing guard at the entrance of our factory. Workers are not allowed to carry bags when going to and from work. Those in the factory security office can ask for a search of someone's body at any time. Who dares to bring anything out?
Our other workshops are better. Workshop 6 is a key project workshop. Even if their workers leave the workshop, they may be searched by people standing guard at the door.
If you ask Zhu Zhu, even if he goes out to bring food, he can only bring food cooked on the big stove, and it must be what you have left."
"That's right, Brother Erheng, you are like the small stove our squad leader usually makes for the leaders. The rest of the food can only be eaten in the factory. If you want to put it in a lunch box and take it home, there is no way. Who did you hear that we can bring it home?
Something comes out?"
"Uh... no, I'm just asking." Li Heng smiled sheepishly.
Hey, that’s weird, how did you bring this thing out in the future?
"I'm telling you Erheng, working in the factory is different from your recycling station. There are a lot of people staring at you. If you want to take advantage of the public, the people won't agree, and some people will report you."
Indeed, their recycling station doesn't care whether you take things back or not, or as I said, you can take as much as you want, but you are too embarrassed to pull the cart there.
And the food in the canteen is actually the same here. You eat it directly on the stove. You can eat as much as you want. If you bring it back, you will only be able to eat as much as a normal person.
If you want to make money, people will jump out to teach you how to be a good person.
In just a short while, several more people came over from the middle courtyard and the backyard. Everyone was also surprised by the amount of bride price demanded by the family of the girl who went on a blind date with He Yuzhu.
"Hey, Erheng, are you dating Teacher Fang's daughter?"
Hearing the second uncle's question, Li Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Liu Haizhong's words diverted everyone's attention again.
"I say Erheng, you are really not afraid of others gossiping."
"Let's talk about it, I just want to live my life well, no one will talk behind anyone's back, and no one will talk behind anyone's back! If you really care so much, you won't be able to get through life."
"Er Heng, you are quite open-minded."
"Hey, old lady, you're coming to the front too."
At the hanging flower gate, an aunt came over supporting the old lady from the backyard.
Upon seeing this, Li Heng moved a chair from the room for her to sit on.
"My old lady is also here to join in the fun. What you said just now is right. Just live your own life well. Who cares to talk about it? If you live a good life, others will only envy you."
"That's not the case, so I don't care about anything else."
"Haha, your boy's personality is completely different from that of your father and your brother."
"Maybe I've been in the army for a long time."
As he spoke, Li Heng took a casual glance and saw that everyone in the whole yard had gathered in the front yard again.
"Er Heng, can you change the house with my family?"
The sudden words made the already noisy courtyard instantly become silent.
Everyone turned to look at Jia Zhang who had just spoken, as if they didn't expect that she could make such an unreasonable request.
Li Heng glanced at Jia Dongxu, and then at the old man beside him.
Both of them looked at Jia Zhang in great astonishment, as if they didn't expect her to say such a thing.
Qin Huairu, who was standing next to Jia Zhang, moved to one side uneasily. She was really not used to the feeling of being stared at by everyone.
Although she knew everyone was looking at the old woman next to her.
"Haha... Okay, the house I live in was originally registered in my father's name. If you want to change the house with me, I have to trouble you to discuss it with him."
!!!
No one expected that Li Heng's answer would be like this. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter at the same time.
Yi Zhonghai touched the arm of the apprentice standing beside him and winked after he looked over.
Jia Dongxu, who had been stunned for a long time, seemed to have finally come to his senses and hurriedly walked over, took his mother's arm and walked back.
Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't seem too happy, but when she saw her son's angry eyes, she didn't dare to say anything and followed him obediently.
When Qin Huairu saw this, he gave Li Heng a smile and hurried away.

PS: It has been three days since I had Yang. My whole body hurts so much that I feel like my heart is beating in my head. It hurts so much that I can die. I have always had a low fever of over 37 degrees.
I hope all book friends will protect themselves, this feeling is really uncomfortable!
