Save hundreds of millions for early retirement

Chapter 22 The Dowry
Most of the houses are adobe houses, with only one newly built house less than two years old.

Shujiagou people have lived here for generations, but this place is really too poor.

People who have a little bit of self-esteem have moved out, and those who have no ability can only stay here to live.

Most of the people here are named Shu, and a few people are named He and Huang. He Qi's family was among the first to move out from here.

Wang Yang identified the house, it should be the one on the mountainside, because that house has a fenced yard.

The two of them walked hard up the path.

Looking at the somewhat familiar environment, I felt filled with emotion.

As the two approached, a skinny black dog looked at them eagerly.

"Woof! Woof! Woof...".

"Brother Yang is here? What are we doing here?" Chen Xu ignored the barking of the dog, put the things on the ground, and sat down on a rock without any image.

Carrying so many things for more than five kilometers is difficult for Chen Xu.

He looked at Chen Xu and warned, "Don't ask, and stop talking later."

Chen Xu nodded tiredly, not wanting to speak.

Then he shouted into the house, "Is anyone there?"

"Is anyone home?"

"Who is it?" A rough voice came from the room.

"I am Shu Qingyu's classmate. Is she at home today?"

"Oh! It's classmate Xiaoyu! Come in, come in and sit down." The man in the room greeted.

But no one else came out.

Chen Xu looked at Wang Yang in confusion. When did they have a classmate named Shu Qingyu? Why didn't he know about it?

"Stop sitting, get up quickly and take the things in." As he said that, he also carried the things and walked towards the house.

The big black dog followed me from a distance and barked from time to time, not daring to get too close.

The room is a bit dark inside, but very cool. As soon as you enter, you can obviously feel that the temperature is at least four to five degrees lower than the outside temperature.

The adobe house is warm in winter and cool in summer. The wisdom of our ancestors cannot be underestimated.

The house is very old and the soil on the ground is bursting.

There was only one middle-aged man in the room who was thinner than Chen Xu and had a pretty face. The man was weaving a basket in his hands, and his calloused hands were weaving quickly.

Wang Yang had the impression that the man in front of him was Shu Qingyu's father.

Wang Yang put down what he was carrying and what he was holding, and turned to give Chen Xu a wink.

Chen Xu took off the things on his body as usual and breathed a sigh of relief.

Carrying these things on his back was exhausting him, but fortunately he was still young and could just rest for a while.

"Hello uncle, I am Wang Yang, a classmate of Shu Qingyu Junior High School, and this is Chen Xu." He introduced himself and Chen Xu.

The man looked up and saw two young men. They were also very well-dressed and looked like they were from the city.

This is the first time that a classmate has come to see my daughter. This has never happened before.

He put down what he was doing and greeted warmly: "Oh! Hello! Sit down quickly, it's very hot outside! I'll pour you a glass of water to quench your thirst."

Then he turned around and poured water for the two of them.

He stood up and raised his hand to signal, "Don't bother me so much, uncle."

The man smiled and said, "It's okay! You're welcome when you come to my house as a guest. Sit down and drink water."

"Thank you uncle!"

The two took the water politely.

"By the way! Isn't Uncle Shu Qingyu at home?" Wang Yang asked.

"Xiaoyu, she went to the street to sell things this morning and was not at home."

"Uncle, when will she come back?"

"I'll be back around noon. It just so happens that we can stay here for lunch."

"Don't bother uncle. There's nothing important for us to come here to find Shu Qingyu. Since she's not here, I'll tell you the same thing."

Shu's father looked at Wang Yang curiously, and asked a little worriedly: "What is it?"

He was really afraid that his daughter would cause some trouble outside.

"Uncle, don't worry, it's a good thing." He stood up and put the backpack and the things he carried in front of Shu's father.

"This is my gift to you, and there is another 10 yuan." He took out 10 yuan from his backpack and placed it in front of Shu's father.

Father Shu was stunned, and then he realized what he was doing and sighed helplessly.

The old saying is true, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The day before yesterday, Xiaoyu released the news, and today someone came to the door.What a sin!I didn’t expect that this bad thing would spread to classmate Xiaoyu.

When he was young, he worked too hard and damaged his body. Now he can't do heavy work.

I can only make a living by making some crafts and selling them.

Father Shu has two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter is Shu Qingyu and the son is Shu Qiang.

Shu Qingyu's mother had a massive hemorrhage when giving birth to Shu Qiang, and she passed away right after birth.

The whole family is supported by him alone, but his health is getting worse and he has no time to take care of the children.

Shu Qiang was a kid who learned bad things outside. Because his family had no money, he would steal and rob. He went to the police station several times, but he still refused to change his ways.

Later, he played with friends and got into gambling again, which made the family even worse.

Recently, someone came to collect debts. They told me that Shu Qiang lost 9 yuan in gambling and owed them [-] yuan. He was now being held captive and asked to use the money to redeem him.

After hearing the news, Shu's father felt like the sky was falling. How could his family get this huge sum of money?

But even if you can't get it, they will ask you to get it, or else they will demolish their house and cut off Shu Qiang's kidney to pay off the debt.

In short, you have to pay back if you can afford it, and you have to pay it back if you can't afford it.

The family really has no way to come up with this money.

I asked relatives and friends to borrow money, but my relatives and friends were not rich and could only live on their own, so they couldn't borrow money at all.

There was really no other way. As the mainstay of the family, Shu Qingyu decided to marry herself off and use her bride price to pay off her brother's debt.

She will marry anyone who can afford a bride price of [-] yuan.

In order to get this money, Shu Qingyu married an old butcher who was widowed in his 40s in his previous life, and his subsequent life was not very satisfactory.

Wang Yang only found out about it later.

But in this life, he will definitely not let such a thing happen.

After all, Shu Qingyu took his life. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. A drop of water should be repaid by a spring.

He is here to repay his kindness in this life.

It is impossible to think about women and money when you are reborn.

He had to do something meaningful to make up for the regret in his heart.

This may be the only difference between him and other reborn people!
Shu's father looked at the 10 yuan with a sad look on his face and felt ashamed, "Ahem! I can't make the decision on this matter, you should wait until Xiaoyu comes back to talk about it!"

The thing he has been most sorry for in recent years is his daughter. Even her daughter was admitted to high school, but she did not go to school because she had no money.

Their family is also supported by his daughter. As a father, he really has no shame in making this decision for his daughter.

If Shu Qingyu hadn't shouldered the responsibility of the family with his thin shoulders, he would have starved to death.

His body cannot do heavy work, not even heavy work. Even light work cannot be done for a long time. He is basically a useless person.

He often had to take medicine, which put even more pressure on Shu Qingyu.

After Shu Qingyu dropped out of junior high school and graduated, she not only had to take care of Shu's father, but also her younger brother.

A girl supported the family with her own hands.

Fortunately, society is developing and progressing, and life will get better every year.

Shu Qingyu originally saved some money through frugality, but it was stolen by Shu Qiang, a thief in the family.

Wang Yang paused and said, "Okay!"

He didn't really want to marry Shu Qingyu, he was just looking for an excuse.

Otherwise, the other party would not be able to accept his benefits without any reason.

If I were to directly give Father Shu one hundred thousand, anyone with any brains would consider whether to accept it, and the consequences of accepting the one hundred thousand.

So Wang Yang should be more direct and make this clear and clear. Anyway, he should first pull people out of the quagmire of a miserable life. As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Chen Xuren, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the show, was dumbfounded and couldn't understand Wang Yang's magical operation at all.

What are you doing here?He just figured it out.

But the next conversation confused him again.

Aren’t they going to college soon?
Why is Wang Yang getting married?
Who is this Shu Qingyu?
Isn’t Wang Yang’s girlfriend Xia Xiaoyu?

……

Countless questions filled his head, and Chen Xu was puzzled. He scratched his head vigorously, trying to get all the questions out of his head.

"Why do you have lice on your head?"

"No! It just seems to be growing a brain."

　Please read it, it’s very important to read it, don’t worry about it, I will update it on time every day.
