Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 903 Dispute

Widow Luo refilled Aunt Ma's water very diligently: "You tell me, I'll listen."

Aunt Ma said: "According to your previous request, the girl looks pretty good. She went to junior high school. She has a good personality and temperament. She is a good caregiver and has a job."

Widow Luo compared this condition with the girl named Qin in her mind. Except that she could not keep up with the girl named Qin in terms of academic qualifications, this girl seemed to be okay.

What satisfies Widow Luo the most is that the woman has a job, she doesn’t have to be supported by her own son after she gets married, and she can also add another income to the family.

"What kind of job?" Widow Luo asked worriedly. Although Aunt Ma had a good reputation, she had seen the matchmaker's mouth before. When she first met, the matchmaker had praised her dead old man so well. Well, even his toad-like appearance turned into regular features in the matchmaker's eyes.

She was worried that Aunt Ma was deceiving her. Don't just take a few manual jobs at home to earn some pocket money and just say you have a job.

Aunt Ma glanced at her and was not upset after seeing her little thoughts. Instead, she continued: "The job is the best. I took over her mother's job and worked as a female worker in a textile factory."

"Girl in the textile factory, this is good, this is good!"

Widow Luo was happy when she heard that the other party was a female worker in a textile factory. The salary of a female worker in a textile factory was not low. If she were a regular worker, it would be much better than her son's job of burning boilers.

Widow Luo was extremely satisfied, and her attitude towards Aunt Ma became even more attentive, and she continued to ask impatiently: "How is her family doing?"

Aunt Ma paused while drinking tea, and then continued as if nothing had happened: "I just wanted to tell you, that girl's conditions are good, but there is one thing, that is, her family's conditions are relatively average, and she has many brothers and sisters. , her mother was in poor health, so she gave her the job.

If she gets married, her mother's family will have no way of living, so her mother's family said that her daughter can take her to work, but half of her salary must be left to her mother's family every month. "

As soon as these words came out, Widow Luo's smile faded a lot.

She frowned, feeling a little sore. Half her salary, that was half her salary.

But I thought that if this girl brings a job and marries her, then the job will belong to their Luo family, and it will not be up to their Luo family to decide whether to pay her or not.

Thinking of this, Widow Luo's frown relaxed a little.

After the girl gets married, let her have a child first. She wants to see if the girl will continue to be devoted to her parents' family after having her own child.

At this time, Aunt Ma had no idea of ​​Widow Luo's little plan. Otherwise, even if Widow Luo cried to death at her door, she would never be a matchmaker.

Widow Luo: “What are their family’s requirements for bride price?”

Aunt Ma didn't hide it, so it was better to talk things over from the beginning: "The girl's family said that if this matter comes to pass, they don't require all four major items: bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios. But there must be two of them, and in addition, there is also a gift of 88 yuan."

Hearing this, Widow Luo was unhappy and said angrily: "Are they marrying their daughter or robbing them? No, not a thing."

Widow Luo almost spit it out.

This person really dares to ask for anything, at least two. The two cheapest ones among the four major items don’t know how much they cost, and they also want gifts!

What are you daydreaming about? She's not a rich lady. How can she ask for so much to get married?

With these things, she can marry her son better.

In fact, if she really had to pay, Widow Luo wouldn't be able to pay for it, but she was not willing to spend all her family money just to marry a daughter-in-law. Aunt Ma was a little embarrassed by what she said, but she still explained: "This is not a girl. How is her personal condition? Besides, this girl also has a job. That is a formal job, and you can't buy it with any money." ."

To be honest, if all the sons in the family were not married, Aunt Ma would be moved.

It was a job, a lifelong job, and something that could be passed on to children and grandchildren.

At this time, spending money to buy a job will cost more than 500, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money.

Isn't it just to give half of the child's salary to her mother's family? So what? Besides, even if it is given for how long, it can only be given to five or six years at most. When her next few brothers and sisters have grown up and can support themselves, there is no need. Did you give it?

Faced with Aunt Ma's advice, Widow Luo sneered and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, this won't work. How can you spend so much money on a wedding? You won't be able to survive in the future. Besides, with our family's situation, how can we afford it? These betrothal gifts?”

If Widow Luo and Mrs. Jia Zhang have anything in common, it is that they both cry about poverty when they mention money.

Aunt Ma tried to persuade her a few more times, but when she saw Widow Luo crying about her poverty and making it clear that she didn't want to, she didn't say anything more and prepared to leave after saying a few more words.

Things didn't work out, and Widow Luo was no longer as attentive to Aunt Ma as she was at the beginning. If it weren't for the fact that she still needed her, she probably wouldn't even give her a gift.

After Widow Luo sent Aunt Ma out, she said: "Sister Ma, this won't work. How can we, a serious married woman, need so many things to marry a girl? Please take the time to look for it carefully for my son." "

Although Aunt Ma was a little unhappy when she came here, it was understandable. She had talked about marriage a lot, and the one she was attracted to was not just this one or two, she no longer cared about it.

But things just didn't happen by chance. As soon as Aunt Ma came to the door, Mrs. Lai came over.

Seeing Mrs. Lai and Widow Luo who greeted her warmly, Aunt Ma's face suddenly turned bad.

It's not that she has no tolerance for others and won't let others talk about her own matchmaking, but no Widow Luo would do this.

Seeing that Aunt Ma looked unhappy, Mrs. Lai was actually happy.

Youdao is both a colleague and an enemy. Although she and Aunt Ma have never had any quarrels, they have some opinions about each other.

Aunt Ma despises Mrs. Lai for being an unethical matchmaker and always doing conscientious matchmaking. Mrs. Lai despises Aunt Ma for being stupid. She has no money and is a fool.

What made Aunt Ma even more angry was that Widow Luo, who was chatting and laughing with her just now, suddenly surrounded Mrs. Lai to show her courtesy.

Not only was he attentive, but he also used her as a step to step on, and kept saying: "Sister Lai, I think this matter of matchmaking is up to you. Some people just can't do it. The girl's conditions are only average. I don't like her at all. What's more?" With so many colorful gifts, I really think I am some kind of fairy-like figure."

This attitude of stepping down and supporting her completely offended Aunt Ma.

She glared at Widow Luo fiercely and said directly: "If I get involved in your family's affairs again in the future, I will write the character "horse" backwards."

After saying that, he left angrily, making a decision in his mind before leaving.
