Chapter 957: The selfish and vain female supporting role (53)
"Don't worry." The village chief's youngest son was also present, and immediately reassured everyone, "I heard Brother Mingkang say that for those of you who greeted him before, Yin Yin will take the time to graft it for you, and I guarantee that it will not affect the budding in spring. Don't look for her if you want to say hello. She is really busy right now. Luheng's ecological orchard is as big as two hills, so even just using words to guide the workers will take a lot of time."
“Yes, yes, yes, let’s not rush Yin Yin, she knows it well. If it’s really too late this year, at worst it will be a year late, and the grafting will be done next year!”
Even though grafting a year later means less money, considering that Xu Yin was hired by Luheng Company as a technical consultant for one building, how could Luheng be so generous all of a sudden? It can be seen that Xu Yin does have a few brushes, and after shamelessly tasting one or two of her fruits, she becomes even more convinced. Instead of looking for fruit farmers in other towns who are good at grafting, it is better to wait for Xu Yin!
It was only then that Wang Cuihua and Qi's mother regretted not being on good terms with Xu Yin.
Seeing helplessly the opportunity to make a fortune slip away due to my own misjudgment, I beat my chest in annoyance.
Wang Cuihua pressed harder and harder for her daughter's salary. Before the 10th, she called Xu Shan: "Shanshan, you have been working for two years, why hasn't your salary increased yet?"
Xu Shan held back her anger with a wooden face: "Mom, didn't I tell you when I went home last month? From now on, I will save my salary by myself, and I won't need my family to provide me with a dowry when I get married."
Wang Cuihua yelled: "You **** girl! Don't you have a partner? You open your mouth to get married, but you keep your mouth shut! Your brother hasn't married yet, and you, my sister, are thinking about getting married all day long. How shameless is it? You won't do it." My salary is fine, you can prepare your own dowry, and the groom’s family will give you another 188,000 yuan as a gift! Otherwise, don’t even think about getting married!”
Wearing a straw hat and rolling up her trouser legs, Xu Yin was picking watermelons in the melon field. She heard Xu’s mother say that Xu Shan had a partner and wanted to get married, but her family didn’t agree. She asked in surprise: “Why don’t you agree?”
Xu's mother also heard what others said: "Wang Cuihua asked for a bride price of 188,000 yuan. The man asked if the gift was 188,000 yuan and how much dowry he planned to accompany. Wang Cuihua said there was not a penny, because Xu Shan could not hold on to her salary. Give it to her, the family has no money to pay for her dowry. The marriage is on hold."
Xu Yin carefully reviewed the plot. In the original text, there was no scene where the heroine got married and her mother forced her to ask for a gift of 188,000 yuan.
The reason why her "butterfly" flapped its wings is that she didn't do anything else except keep her house and cherry orchard, right?
Is it because the hostess's family did not take advantage of her own homestead, so the hostess's mother instead stared at her son-in-law to ask for the bride price?
Xu's mother was still lamenting: "The gift of 180,800 yuan is not enough for her to get out. In big cities, this is the number. Here, we usually give 68,000 or 88,000 yuan. She is so open-minded, and in the end It’s Xu Shan who was tricked.”
Xu Yin thought for a while and asked, "Does she want to use her daughter's gift to marry her son, right?"
Wang Cuihua’s character is there, and it’s hard not to think of this episode.
"That's not true. I heard that I want to build a house. I have contacted the contractor and said that I want to build a three-story building. It can't be built without 180,000 yuan."
Xu Yin: “…”
Then sell your daughter?
Using your daughter’s bride price to build a house and then not paying a penny for the dowry. Is this what people do?
But this has nothing to do with my family.
Xu Yin reminded Xu’s mother: “Mom, let’s not bother with it.”
“Why should I pay any attention to her? I was worried that she would be so shameless as to ask your dad to borrow money!”
But Xu’s mother just said it, and she wasn’t very worried in her heart.
Because the majority of the family's money is kept by her daughter, and all the money she earned from selling roast mutton is in her hands.
The child's father only makes money and does not spend it. Even if Wang Cuihua encouraged Xu Mingfu to come to the child's father to borrow money, she would not be able to borrow money.
The couple chatted for a while and then turned their attention back to their watermelon patch.
Xu’s mother stayed at home to pick watermelons these days.
Xu's father originally wanted to close the shop and come back to collect the watermelons, but there were so many repeat customers who called him to ask for orders for roast mutton, and some of them were from government agencies, that it was difficult to refuse the hospitality.
Xu Yin didn’t ask her father to come back, so she could just pick watermelons. She could actually do it all by herself. "Dad, we have enough people at home, but it's up to you. If you can't handle it, just hire a worker. Don't be tired."
"I'm not tired." Father Xu said angrily on the other end of the phone.
He was just roasting a few sheep. He was holding a teapot, drinking herbal tea and turning the noodles over. The air-conditioning in the shop was on full blast, and it wasn't hot at all.
"I'm just afraid that you two will be tired."
The family took care of each other and continued to do their own things.
The first batch of watermelons picked were naturally reserved for guests from the capital who made reservations in advance.
Zhang Huaijin sent a truck to pull it, along with pears and corn.
He himself also drove an off-road vehicle over: "Boss Xu, why don't you cut a watermelon and ask me to try it?"
"cut!"
Xu's mother enthusiastically picked the biggest one and said, "Xiao Zhang, please have a cup of tea first. I'll take the watermelon and dip it in the well. When the heat goes away, I'll cut it for you. If it tastes good, I'll take some more back home later." ."
Like Xu's father, she had a not-so-good impression of Zhang Huaijin, who had the same surname as hers.
Excluding the benefits he brought to his family, he is also a good young man. He is already the boss of a large company at a young age, which shows how outstanding his abilities are.
The key is not to be pretentious at all, and bring a few practical souvenirs every time you come home. Sometimes it’s tea, sometimes it’s wine, sometimes it’s some seafood that can’t be bought locally.
He was not empty-handed today either. He brought two bottles of wine and a box of seasonal seafood.
“Is there any corn left?”
Zhang Huaijin waited for Xu's mother to leave, rolled up her trousers and went down to the melon field, helping Xu Yin pick fifty watermelons. While picking, she glanced at the thumb cornfield next to her, "Don't you plan to plant another crop?"
Xu Yin looked at him speechlessly: "You like eating corn so much, where can't you grow it on such a large mountain?"
He chuckled: "Isn't the one grown by Boss Xu more delicious?"
After the fifty watermelons were picked, they were shipped to the capital together with the three hundred catties of pears and one hundred catties of thumb corn picked and boxed a few days ago.
To this end, her family set aside a room on the first floor as a refrigerated warehouse. They put several layers of insulation film on the walls, replaced all the doors and windows with the best-sealed ones, and chose a relatively expensive set of refrigeration equipment.
A lot of effort is put into keeping the fruits as fresh as when they were picked.
However, after Zhang Huaijin came in for a visit, he said that this set of refrigeration equipment was not good enough and the temperature control was not very stable. He went back to bring a better one.
“Just pay for the food when I come to your house. Oh, can you give me a few more kilograms of corn?”
…”
Alright, alright, alright!
A few kilograms of corn is worth a set of equipment worth tens of thousands of yuan, so it’s all her profit.
