Chapter 829 Bao Yiqiu wakes up
As soon as Qi Lei left, Kang Chunfeng took the lead and said: "Sister, Comrade Qi just said that he is willing to give a gift of three hundred and eighty-eight. Sister, this gift is not only our family's face, but also your face."
Bao Yiqiu saw that Mother Bao didn't say anything, she sneered and said: "Qi Lei's rule is that the man's dowry is as much as the woman's dowry. Are you willing to give me a dowry with 388 dowry gifts? "
Qi Lei didn't have this custom. She mentioned it when she was chatting with a few female classmates. In some places, the man gave a lot of gifts, and the woman from a good family would marry the same dowry.
Kang Chunfeng changed his face when he heard it, and said: "The dowry is three hundred and eighty-eight, and you can't make up so much money even if you sell us all? I really didn't expect that comrade Qi looks bold, but he is so shameless."
Bao Yiqiu couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded: "The most shameless person in our family is you. Yihu moved out after marrying in, and even plotted against me, trying to sell me to some illiterate worker for profit."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Bao's mother and said, "I started earning money when I was 13 years old when I took my father's job. I took every penny of the money back home. Later, when I went to the countryside, I also saved money and sent money back. Home. I got money back every month when I went to college, and I picked it out through my teeth. I have done so much for the family, and you still don’t think it’s enough, so you want to sell me for a good price?”
Mother Bao felt very sad when she heard this, and said, "Yiqiu, Mother just said that we only want a bride price of eighty-eight. Whoever sells a girl here will only ask for a gift of eighty-eight."
Bao Yiqiu said with an angry face: "Don't you look at how old I am? I will be twenty-nine after the new year. At my age, no one with good dowry conditions will be willing to pay eighty-eight."
Because of her age, she actually has some low self-esteem in her heart, and it was her life in college in the past few years that allowed her to regain her confidence. Just thinking of the previous sacrifices, she even mentioned that she felt that it was not worth it.
Bao Yiqiu said: "When I was thirteen, I took my father's job and helped support the family. When I got married, how many matchmakers came to the door at that time. You pushed me to support the family. Later, when Bao Yizhou was old enough to go to the countryside, you said he If he is not in good health, he will die if he goes to the countryside. I will give him the job and go to the countryside. Mom, is he really in poor health? No, you don’t want him to go to the countryside to suffer. If you don’t want him, you can let me go Go to that corner of the countryside to suffer and suffer.”
Without waiting for Bao's mother to explain, she continued: "I have been in the factory for five years. I was promoted from an apprentice at the bottom of the workshop to an officer, and my salary rose from a dozen yuan to thirty yuan. I went to the countryside, and Bao Yizhou took my job. But Ben only takes the salary of an apprentice. The family’s income is reduced, and life is difficult, so you write to me every day crying, and I tighten my belt to save the money and send it home. Because I want to help you support your family, I dare not deal with someone I'm afraid of dragging others down. I was lucky enough to be admitted to Peking University and met Qi Lei. He didn't dislike me at an old age and was willing to marry me. That's my blessing. Having found such a good son-in-law, no parent would be happy. But What about you, you want me to marry such a crooked melon and cracked date. It sounds good to say that you don’t want to marry far away and never see me, but you actually want to tie me by your side to provide for you in the old age, and dedicate your life to Bao Yizhou and your grandson as a cow and a horse .”
Bao Yiqiu used this job to replace her father. When she went to work that day, she said that she would do this job first. When Bao Yizhou grew up, she would give the job back to him. Bao Yiqiu agreed at the time, so she had no complaints about letting the job go. But what troubled her was that she didn't have to go to the countryside after returning her job to Bao Yizhou. Because a family came to propose a marriage, the family conditions are very good, promised that as long as she married to help arrange work. But this family made a request, that is, after she married, she was not allowed to subsidize her natal family. But her mother refused, and she only found out about it last year when she went to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Father, like son. The family who came to propose marriage liked her very much and thought she was smart and capable to prosper the family, but worried that her mother would squeeze her to support her family after marriage, so they made this request. Unfortunately, her mother refused, and she eventually went to the countryside.
Mother Bao burst into tears, and said, "Yiqiu, how can you miss Mom so much?"
After her father died of illness, she took up a job to make money for the family. It has been fourteen years, and she is not guilty.
Bao Yiqiu didn't want to argue with her, and said: "You have a conscience, don't you! That's fine, you swear here that you won't find me in your family's affairs in the future. If you find me, you will be reborn as a beast in your next life."
She had figured it out, and her mother could only think about Bao Yizhou and his grandson. And Bao Yizhou hid behind everything, letting Kang Chunfeng, a greedy woman, rush forward.
Mother Bao also heard the refusal in the words, she became anxious immediately, and her mouth was faster than her brain: "Yiqiu, these are your brothers and nephews, if you don't pull them out, who can help them."
Bao Yiqiu sneered and said: "It's better to throw money into the water for such a white-eyed wolf, and you can hear a sound when you throw it into the water! Mom, don't think about the three major gifts. After I work, I will pay you every month." I will send you pension money, and the three of us will share the medical expenses when you are sick. Don't think about anything else."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out, but as soon as she went out, her tears couldn't help falling down anymore. She did this for the family and didn't think of paying back, but at least she should remember her kindness. As a result, not only did he not remember her well, but he also felt that she did not do enough.
Bao Yihu was worried, he would turn back when Qi Lei went to bed to rest. Halfway there, he saw Bao Yiqiu with tears streaming down his face. He was anxious: "Sister, did that shrew bully you? Sister, I'll take care of her."
Bao Yiqiu pulled her back and said, "She didn't bully me, it was me, I felt uncomfortable thinking about the past."
If Tian Shao hadn't repeatedly reminded her that her mother was sucking her blood for the sake of her son and told her to think more about herself, she might not have come to her senses by now. If she is always led by the nose by her mother, it is impossible for Qi Lei to marry her, and this life will really be ruined.
Bao Yihu was silent for a while and said: "Sister, don't come back before I get the house, so as not to get angry."
Wait for the welfare distribution, he who just became a regular is useless. But now the factory has also started to raise funds to build a house, and when the money is enough, we can reserve a house.
Seeing that he has plans for the future, Bao Yiqiu is in a much better mood: "Then you should save money and try to buy a house as soon as possible. Once you have a house, it will be easier to talk about a wife."
If it was before, she would definitely say that the money is not enough for her to make up. But now she has changed her mind, and Bao Yihu will let him earn the house and marry a wife by himself. Of course, if she encounters difficulties or needs to borrow money from her in the future, she will borrow it, but she will never take the money again. Giving too much is not grace, but hatred.
Bao Yihu nodded heavily.
