Marrying a Cook in the 1960s

Chapter 104

Views:

Xu Lei finally negotiated compensation with the Sun family.

Even the people in the Sun family didn't expect that Xu Lei would agree to one hundred yuan so readily.

When they got out of the door, Su Sanmei was still smug: "Finally Mei Zi did a good job and we were able to get a hundred yuan."

One hundred dollars!

In their family, only Sun Mei's father works. His monthly salary is only about 30 years old, but after spending money on food and drink for the whole family, he would be in debt every year. When have you ever seen so much money

Su Sanmei looked at Sun Mei, who was walking numbly, and said, "Finally, you are still of some use. You haven't been eating at home for nothing all these years."

One hundred yuan was enough for her son to marry. When spring came, she would directly apply for Sun Mei to go to the countryside. By then, these rumors would not last long.

By next Chinese New Year, maybe she will be able to find a good marriage for her son. If you think further ahead, maybe she will even have grandchildren!

Su Sanmei was happy, but Sun Mei's father was not very happy.

Sun Mei's uncle and several relatives came along. They didn't put in any effort, but they were satisfied to have a meal of meat from the Xu family.

In order to settle the matter, Xu Lei asked his mother to use up all the meat stored at home to cook stir-fried pork and Chinese cabbage, which was served with fragrant steamed buns. The few people who came with him had a full stomach.

Uncle Sun Mei saw that his brother and his wife looked unhappy, so he took his people away at the right time.

Now only the Sun family of three are left.

Sun Mei's father looked around and glared at his wife.

Su Sanmei shrank back, but thought that her father was crazy and got a hundred yuan in one go. Wasn't this worth being happy about

Sun Mei's father felt very anxious.

It's not about exchanging my daughter's reputation for a hundred dollars, nor is it about worrying that Sun Mei won't be able to get married.

But he felt.

Loss!

The man named Xu said one hundred yuan was no problem.

In the eyes of Sun Mei's father, wouldn't that be a loss

If I had known earlier... I should have said five hundred dollars!

Even if you ask for a sky-high price, you can still pay it back on the spot!

At most, three hundred or two hundred is better than one hundred!

Sun Mei's father felt uncomfortable and thought that he was really led astray by Su Sanmei. When this woman heard him say 100 yuan as compensation, she kept repeating it and didn't even give him time to think about it.

What can you do with one hundred dollars

Although Sun Mei's father had not received the 100 yuan, Xu Lei's family said they would raise some money first, but they agreed so readily, and if it fell into Sun Mei's father's hands, wouldn't that mean that the family was well-off? Sun Mei's father immediately felt that 100 yuan was not enough.

Regret was like a tide, washing over his aging heart again and again.

Sun Mei's father: "You only think about the 100 yuan. You didn't see Xu Lei. He said 100 yuan is like picking it up! Don't you realize anything?"

Su Sanmei looked confused. Xu Lei? Who wants to see that liar? Xu Lei had given in just after dinner. At that time, she was just happy. All she thought about was how to make up for her son with the money and how to spend the hundred yuan.

How could he have time to look at Xu Lei

Sun Mei's father: "Don't you think Xu Lei agreed too readily?"

Su Sanmei nodded. Isn't that too straightforward? They had discussed it before coming here. If Xu Lei really disagreed, they could still make some concessions. If that didn't work, eighty would be fine.

"My dear father, you are awesome!"

Su Sanmei sincerely felt that her man was capable, and before she could say anything, he agreed.

Sun Mei's father: "..."

So angry!

How did he find such a stupid woman!

"Don't you think Xu Lei's family is relatively wealthy? Look how readily he agreed, as if a hundred dollars is nothing..."

Su Sanmei's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid.

She grabbed Sun Mei's father's arm tightly: "Dad! What do you mean..."

Sun Mei's father: "You finally figured it out. I just think what we want is too..."

Su Sanmei interrupted him: "What do you mean! Xu Lei is rich? Oh my, then we can't let Mei Zi go to the countryside! We have to marry Mei Zi to him! Think about it, he is so rich, if we marry Mei Zi to him, won't our son's future be guaranteed? Oh my, this is great, not only can we get compensation, but we can also ask for a betrothal gift..."

Sun Mei's father: ...

Tired, destroy it.

Sun Mei's father: "Can you be more clear? Xu Lei is unemployed. If he has money, do you dare to spend it or ask for it? You never know when it will bring disaster! What I mean is that we should ask Xu Lei for more! Look how readily he agreed. If we had known earlier, we should have asked for 500 yuan. He would have agreed to give it even if he said it was not good... But it's not too late now. Let's ask him for more when we go to get the money tomorrow. We can't agree unless he gives 200 yuan!"

Finally, after saying everything he wanted to say in one breath, Sun Mei's father took a deep breath.

He really didn't think of marrying his daughter to the Xu family. Just look at Xu Lei's wife and you'll know that his family is a pure gigolo. Although his daughter's reputation is ruined now, she can get some betrothal gifts when she marries in the countryside. If she marries to the Xu family, not only will there be no betrothal gifts, but she will also have to pay for it.

Besides, if Xu Lei's family really has wealth, it is probably wealth that cannot be made public. Such things are not uncommon these days. Who knows whether his money is clean or not

After Sun Mei's father finished speaking, Su Sanmei was stunned.

By the time she had digested it, she had only one thought in her mind.

Loss!

I lost money by selling my daughter!

Su Sanmei yelled and was about to hit Sun Mei.

Sun Mei's father thought it was not a nice thing for her to beat someone in the street, so he tried to stop her twice and pulled her aside.

"What's the point of beating her? You might as well think about what to say tomorrow."

"What are you talking about? Just tell the truth! We won't settle this privately for a hundred bucks!"

Sun Mei's father thought about it and agreed.

What's the point of pretending too much? Isn't it just regret

If he regrets something, he will regret it! Who is afraid of him

If he dares not to give it, he will be charged with hooliganism!

By the time they reached the gate of the family compound, the Sun family's state had completely changed.

Sun Mei's father was calm and even a little happy.

Su Sanmei gritted her teeth, looking unwilling.

Among the three, only Sun Mei had a wooden face as she listened to her parents weighing her.

It was as if she was not a living person, but just a piece of emotionless wood.

The Sun family’s family dispute is over.

While the Xu family sat together, each of them had their own concerns.

Aunt Xu looked distressed for Lijia: "Son, why don't you bargain? One hundred yuan is really too much. Let alone a hundred yuan, we don't even have a few dozen!"

Even if Zhang Yun was here, she couldn't take out the hundred yuan. What's more, Zhang Yun was gone now.

There was really nothing left at home, even the meat for New Year's Day was cut up and eaten.

Aunt Xu was very heartbroken, not only for her flesh, but also for her money, and even more so for herself.

What should she do if her daughter-in-law runs away

As he spoke, he began to curse with gritted teeth.

"Zhang Yun, this bitch! She dared to run away? She is such a piece of shit. Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but she flew away on her own, leaving us here to suffer! What a shameless and vicious woman! She didn't even take her son with her. She is such a piece of shit!"

As he was scolding, he started to scold his grandson too.

"Dabao, don't you think your mother is a piece of shit? Look, she left without taking you with her. She just doesn't take you seriously."

Xu Dabao was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word when there were so many people around just now, but now that his grandmother said it, he also felt that it was right.

That's right, why did his mother run away? Why didn't she take him with her? Sure enough, his grandmother was right, his mother is a poisonous scorpion!

If you don’t even want your own son, what else could you be but a poisonous scorpion

Xu Dabao: "Even if she comes back, I don't want her anymore!"

Aunt Xu: "Yes! Don't want her!"

Although she spoke in a tough tone, Aunt Xu knew in her heart that Zhang Yun would probably have to solve this matter.

What should they do if Zhang Yun doesn’t solve the problem

My son hasn't worked for many years. If the family didn't have Zhang Yun's salary...

This can't be done!

While Aunt Xu was in agony, Old Man Xu rarely asked a question.

"How do you plan to solve it?" Old Man Xu asked his son.

Xu Lei's face was gloomy: "Don't worry about it, I'll go find Zhang Yun tomorrow morning."

He had money, but it was hidden outside, not at home. Regardless of whether it was for the sake of face or for practical reasons, he had to get it back for Zhang Yun.

With Zhang Yun around, he had a source of money.

If Zhang Yun is gone, how will we explain the family’s money

When Old Man Xu heard what his son said, he immediately stopped worrying.

Aunt Xu knew in her heart that her family could not live without Zhang Yun, but she couldn't help but curse a few more times.

"Why pick her up? How can her parents' home be so comfortable to live in? She should stay at her parents' home and wait for them to roll their eyes before she realizes how good our home is!"

Xu Lei's face was as black as ink: "Stop talking!"

Others didn't know, but he knew. Zhang Yun's family situation was different.

He felt upset and hated women.

One is Sun Mei and the other is Zhang Yun.

His mother is one too!

Why are these women so noisy, so annoying, and so inconsiderate of him

Can't they just be honest and serve him, give to him, and not cause trouble for him

On the other side of the county town, in the bus station’s family compound.

Zhang Yun's father had a dark face: "Why can't you just listen to me and your mother? Why do you have to find such a cunning, vicious, greedy and toothless person as your husband?"

Zhang Yun cried for so long that she felt drowsy.

Her mother heard what happened. She fainted from anger and was choked awake by her sister-in-law. After waking up, her mother hit her hard twice and then hugged her and cried bitterly.

"How could you be so stupid! Why didn't you tell us about this? If you had told me earlier, I would have known your father's people well and would have investigated everything for you! You married him for this and suffered all these years? Tell me, you! Tell me how stupid you are!"

Zhang Yun: "I don't know... I really don't know."

After someone pointed this out to her on the street today, Zhang Yun ran to a house that she and her mother-in-law had visited several times before, half believing it.

The family refused to give in and insisted that Xu Lei had beaten the man and demanded four hundred yuan in compensation.

Xu Lei had said at the beginning that she didn't need to be responsible, and that he was willing to sell his job at the state-owned restaurant and the money would be enough.

But Zhang Yun, who was just a young girl at that time, had no way of seeing Xu Lei's plan, and she jumped into Xu Lei's trap without hesitation.

Her mother-in-law was even more superficial, saying that she didn't want her to be responsible, but she often took her to that family. That family was arrogant and unreasonable, asking for hundreds of dollars.

With such a villain around, Zhang Yun saw herself as the savior of Xu Lei's family, and she was burdened with a heavy burden.

She always felt that if it weren't for her, Xu Lei's family would probably still be doing well now, with a waiter job at home, and they would probably be living a comfortable life.

It was because of this sense of guilt that Zhang Yun endured her father-in-law's inaction, her mother-in-law's duplicity, and her husband's laziness and lack of work.

As a result, after so many years, it turns out that everything was caused by calculation!

When Zhang Yun arrived at the house, someone else was already living there. When she asked about it, the other party said that the house had always been theirs, but they had rented it out for a few months.

Rented!

Zhang Yun was poured with a bucket of cold water from head to toe.

She returned to her parents' home in a daze and knelt in front of her parents.

Tell your parents all the hard work and deception you’ve experienced over the years.

I got a slap from my father, two slaps from my mother, and then a hug from my mother.

The father's eyes were filled with tears. "At this point, I don't want to scold you anymore. You have been like this since you were a child, stubborn and a little bit arrogant like a student. It's good that you don't ask for help from others, but don't you think about it, are your mother and I others?"

"Over the years, your school has distributed rice, flour and oil many times. Your mother sent them to school and asked your leader to secretly give them to you in the name of the school."

"Last year, your mom couldn't help it and gave you twenty dollars, but you threw the money back. Don't you think that your mom and I are already this old? You have a man and a child, and you don't even want your parents anymore? I have never used you to marry into a rich family, nor have I neglected your education, but I didn't expect that you would be so cruel to me and your mom."

Zhang Yun couldn't bear such accusations, so she knelt down and said, "Dad, I'm not... I just feel ashamed to see you, and I don't feel ashamed to ask you to subsidize me... I often went to your and mom's workplaces to secretly see you over the years, but I didn't dare to see you because I was afraid... I knitted a sweater before, thinking of giving it to you, but Dabao ruined it. Dad, I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Yun's mother hugged her daughter and said, "Stop talking, stop talking. Xiao Yun has always been like this. You know that. Why do you have to poke her heart with words?"

"The most important thing now is what to do!"

Zhang Yun's mother hugged her daughter and said, "Now that we are here, I want to ask you what your plans are."

Zhang Yun wiped her tears and said, "I want to send Xu Lei in!"

Her ten years, the best ten years of her life, were wasted on such a person!

She must ask for an explanation!

Zhang Yun's father finally relaxed his frown and said, "At least you are not completely confused."

After a pause, he continued, "What are you going to sue him for? He has no job now. Even if he is having affairs with other women, I'm afraid the punishment won't be severe."

Zhang Yun: "I don't care if it's serious or not, he is cheating on me now, I will sue him for this first."

Maybe women's IQ will improve significantly after they get over their love-brain state. Zhang Yun's thinking is now very clear.

"I'm going to sue him for cheating on me first. I have the witnesses and I've brought the physical evidence with me."

She took out a love letter from Sun Mei: "All the evidence is there, he can't deny it."

"Then it will all depend on the Sun family. If they are sensible, they will also go back on their words. As long as Sun Mei is smart, she will say that Xu Lei is a hooligan. The sentence for hooliganism can be light or heavy, but it will be at least several years in prison anyway."

Zhang Yun's parents both work at the bus station, and both are now small leaders. As soon as Zhang Yun's father heard about his daughter's plan, he started to make arrangements.

"Well, you come with me to the police station tomorrow morning, and we'll talk things out. We'll arrest Xu Lei first. Then let your mother take you to secretly look for that person named Sun Mei."

Zhang Yun's father was more knowledgeable. He snorted coldly, "Sun Mei's parents are not good people. They went to Xu Lei to negotiate compensation, which shows that they don't treat their daughter as a human being. You can bypass her parents and discuss with her privately. As long as she bites Xu Lei, I will give her the money that Xu Lei promised to her parents! Just give it to her alone! And when she goes to the countryside later, I can find a better place for her."

"As long as Xu Lei can be given a severe sentence, I will give her more!"

Zhang Yun looked at her father in shock: "Dad..."

She always thought that her father didn't like her.

She is stubborn and can't say nice things.

In recent years, I have few family members and even few friends.

Zhang Yun's father was a truck driver in his early years, and he had a bit of a gangster temperament: "You don't have to think your father is cruel. This family is shameless enough to bully people. Have you ever thought about what your future would be like if you didn't accidentally know the truth this time?"

What the future holds…

Zhang Yun shuddered.

If she didn't know the truth, she would probably be even more miserable than Sun Mei in the future.

When Sun Mei goes to the countryside, she can still choose more, but as for her, she can see her future days at a glance!

It means squeezing the juice of one's own flesh and blood to feed the Xu family for a lifetime!

Zhang Yun: "I'll listen to you!"

The whole family was united in their hatred of the enemy, except for Zhang Yun's sister-in-law who spoke weakly.

"Then... my little sister's child..."

A trace of heartache flashed across Zhang Yun's eyes.

If there was anything in this matter that she couldn't let go of, it was Xu Dabao.

The child is so innocent, yet he became the product of a lie.

Zhang Yun's mother held her daughter's hand tightly and made a silent gesture to stop her husband from speaking. "Don't make such a hasty decision. Mom will be with you. We will think about it together when the time comes. But the most urgent thing now is to send Xu Lei to jail. What Xu Lei did is unforgivable. Nannan, am I right?"

Zhang Yun nodded with tears in her eyes and fell into her mother's arms.

Their family actually came from the south, so before Zhang Yun got married, Zhang's mother always called her Nannan.

Finally, everything was preliminarily settled, and Zhang's mother arranged for Zhang Yun to take a shower and go to bed.

The family has been busy until late at night.

Father Zhang: "Why didn't you let me tell you? You've secretly visited Xu Dabao before, and he has acquired a lot of bad habits at such a young age. I'm afraid his personality can't be changed. Besides, he doesn't look like he has a particularly good relationship with Xiaoyun. Why do you have to put the child on Xiaoyun?"

Zhang's mother: "After all these years, how come you still can't see Xiaoyun's character? She is soft-hearted and doesn't take hard words. If you try to persuade her not to have children now, how could she agree?"

Zhang's mother paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Children are a debt to their mothers. We'd better help her see clearly. Whatever decision she makes is up to her. Do we have to live her life for her?"

Xu Dabao is Zhang Yun’s debt, but isn’t Zhang Yun the debt of both of them
