The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 794 Suspected

The arrival of Cheng Haishuang made the dormitory a lot more lively, especially as Sister-in-law Chen came to marry her every day, and the candidates she provided were different every time, which made Bai Meixi feel that she had obtained all the information of unmarried young men from ten miles and eight towns nearby. .

"Xiao Bai, look at this family. It has fifty acres of land. There are more than a dozen large tile-roofed houses and two cows. It is a well-known wealthy family in our neighborhood. This child is still an only child at home. Xiao Shuang went to eat No loss."

Aunt Liu introduced the inventory in her hand very confidently. Most of these people were from well-off families and were honest farmers. Cheng Haishuang would not have to worry about food and clothing after marrying her, but what bothered Bai Meixi was this. In terms of age, everyone is at least ten years older than Cheng Haishuang, and they are all older rural men.

Most farmers in this era get married in their teens. It is already too late for someone like Cheng Haiyi to marry a wife in his twenties. If he waits until he is 30, his wife will either die or become physically disabled.

Bai Meixi guessed that the only son Aunt Liu mentioned might have some hidden illness, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to remain unmarried until now.

"This child's legs fell when he was young and are a bit inflexible, but they won't delay his work in the fields. What's more, he has five sisters at home, all of whom can help."

Sister-in-law Chen saw Bai Meixi's expression of confusion and quickly explained the reason. Bai Meixi was not surprised. She had already guessed this result. There were five sisters-in-law in one family, and they had to face a patient who was seriously ill. With her disabled husband, Bai Meixi couldn't survive a day like this, so naturally she wouldn't let Cheng Haishuang go.

"It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied with this. There is another one who is in good health and has a very good family background. He is just a little short, but he is diligent and keeps the house in order. He is also very filial to his parents. The old couple has been paralyzed for many years and has no one. What disease have you had?"

Sister-in-law Chen recommended several other candidates, but they either had patients at home or were physically disabled and strong-willed. Bai Meixi felt that the candidates recommended by Sister-in-law Chen were too strange. Cheng Haishuang was young and beautiful. This transportation bureau was not Knowing how many unmarried young people are willing, why in the eyes of Sister-in-law Chen, Xiaoshuang can't find a normal person to marry.

"Sister-in-law Chen, you have chosen too many people. My head hurts when I hear it, not to mention Xiaoshuang. Besides, she is still young. It would be a good idea to get married in a few years."

Bai Meixi didn't want Cheng Haishuang to marry too early, so as not to delay her future prospects, and she didn't want her to marry someone weird. She tried to invite Sister-in-law Chen out several times, but Sister-in-law Chen didn't seem to understand her. Yin, sitting there talking more and more enthusiastically.

"You are not a young girl. It will be difficult to find someone if you delay any longer. Besides, isn't your girl always sick? While the girl is young, you can treat her by accepting a betrothal gift. I will find it for you. I am willing to spend a lot of money to get these. The betrothal gift is at least 1000 yuan. If you want more, you can collect it. I will tell you that 1500 yuan is no problem."

Sister-in-law Chen finally told her original intention. She heard that Cheng Qian's illness required a lot of money, and even spending a lot of money might not necessarily cure it. As a parent, she naturally couldn't bear to see Cheng Qian die like this, so she decided to do it. When it comes to Cheng Haishuang, it can not only provide Cheng Haishuang with lifelong support, but also collect a sum of money to treat Cheng Qian's illness.

"Sister-in-law, if that's the case, it's even more unnecessary. If Xiaoshuang gets married in the future, we will definitely let her take her bride price back to her in-laws' house as her private money, otherwise how will she be able to hold her head high in her in-laws' house in the future. "

Bai Meixi knew that Sister-in-law Chen had good intentions, but selling her sister to save her daughter would never be something Cheng Haiyi could do, and neither could she. "Xiao Bai, your family is very rich, isn't it? I heard from Zhang Yang that you spent hundreds of dollars at the hospital this time." Sister-in-law Chen looked at Bai Meixi strangely. She had no income. Tian takes care of the children at home, but he seems to have endless money to spend. Not only does he adopt Jiu Sheng, but he can also hire someone to take care of the children. Cheng Haiyi's monthly salary of 50 yuan alone cannot do this.

Nowadays, we don’t even pay attention to the gift money of 2000 to [-] yuan, which is really contrary to common sense.

Sister-in-law Chen also works in the Transportation Bureau and knows that there are many projects here every year. Whoever you entrust them to do it will send the money to whomever. She suspects that Cheng Haiyi has taken bribes. Otherwise, how can he bear the huge burden of the family? overhead.

"How can I have so much money? It was just a supplementary sum when Hai Yi retired from the army. When he married me, I took all the betrothal gifts back to my husband's family. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, brothers and sisters also chipped in some, but it doesn't matter. We don’t have any money, and we can’t sacrifice Xiaoshuang’s happiness.”

Bai Meixi knew that her generosity in recent times had aroused suspicion. Cheng Haiyi's recent work was just on the right track. She must not let him be stigmatized for corruption, even if he was suspected.

But after Bai Meixi explained this, Sister-in-law Chen's face became more complicated than before. How much Bai Meixi's mother cared about money, everyone in the transportation bureau knew how could that iron rooster let her take back all the gifts? There must be something wrong here.

Sister-in-law Chen told her husband about her suspicions. Soon, people in the entire transportation bureau were spreading such remarks, believing that Cheng Haiyi had committed corruption and bribery. Some even said that Cheng Haiyi made mistakes in the army before he advanced. Those who were discharged from the army did not write it in the file just to look good.

"Sister-in-law, these people are going too far. My brother has only been at the Transportation Bureau for a short time, and he has never even touched the money on the projects in his hands. How could there be any corruption or bribery!"

Cheng Haishuang couldn't listen to these people slandering Cheng Haiyi, so she quarreled with them several times and asked them to investigate. Those people dispersed at that time, but they gathered together soon after, making the incident more and more serious. Now almost everyone believes that Cheng Haiyi is corrupt. Fortunately, the director of the Transportation Bureau has a clear mind.

He knew that Cheng Haiyi's current job was not profitable at all, and it was impossible to be corrupt. However, Cheng Qian was so seriously ill, and Bai Meixi spent money without any scruples, so he had to worry about the future, for fear that Cheng Haiyi would do it in the future. He would be confused for a moment and let down the organization's years of training for him.

The director of the Transportation Bureau called Cheng Haiyi to his office. In this situation, he felt that Cheng Haiyi should avoid suspicion and stop taking charge of the main work of the bureau.

"Hai Yi, I know you have a lot of things at home recently. Let's do this. From now on, you will work in the archives and take care of the information. Don't worry about other things for now. Take care of your children."

The director was planning for Cheng Haiyi, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cheng Haiyi had been demoted in disguise.
