Siheyuan: Open a breakfast shop and make the city cry with envy

Jia family.

Chen Dahai was feeling amorous inside the house.

I can’t tell you how happy I was.

A few days ago, I heard from others that Jia Xiaodang was preparing for a divorce.

That night, he went to find a matchmaker and asked her to take him to the Jia family to propose marriage the next day.

He also promised that if Jia Xiaodang married him, he would give the Jia family a dowry of 500 yuan.

In the 1980s, five hundred yuan was not a small sum of money.

Seeing that Banggeng's wife is about to give birth to her second child, the Jia family is in urgent need of money, and Chen Ze is penniless.

The money Sha Zhu earns every month is only enough to cover family expenses.

Upon learning that Chen Dahai was willing to pay a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, Jia Zhang did not hesitate at all and asked Jia Xiaodang to divorce Chen Ze.

Just like that, the two finally divorced today and her goal was achieved.

Jia Xiaodang followed Qin Huairu into the house.

Chen Dahai excitedly stood up from the stool, rubbed his hands nervously, and greeted Jia Xiaodang with a smile.

"Xiao Dang!! Hehehe."

Looking at Chen Dahai in front of him, Jia Xiaodang couldn't help but frown.

But soon, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Of course Jia Xiaodang knew that Chen Dahai had always liked him.

The two were classmates when they were in junior high school.

But the reason why I chose Chen Ze was,

It's because Chen Ze is not only handsome, but also over 1.80 meters tall. He is one of the most handsome young men in the surrounding area.

In addition, the Chen family had three large tiled houses in the courtyard at that time, and also had a few hundred yuan in pension.

In addition, Chen Ze's mother's job at the steel rolling mill also helped Jia Geng.

Look at Chen Dahai again. At that time, he not only had no money and no house, but was also only about 1.6 meters tall.

Dark and fat.

Wearing a pair of glasses.

At first glance, he looks like a nerd!

I can't arouse any interest at all.

No matter how you compare them, Chen Ze is always stronger!

Looking back now.

Four years is neither short nor long.

During the four years after their marriage, Chen Dahai never entered Jia Xiaodang's sight again.

When they met again, Jia Xiaodang felt nothing but surprise.

She is not stupid.

You can tell Chen Dahai’s current situation at a glance.

The two of them have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Chen Ze suffered a severe blow due to his mother's death and looked sickly all day long.

Looking at Chen Dahai, he has become a doctor in Sijiucheng Hospital, earns a good income every month, and has his own house.

Just looking at Chen Dahai's current attire, he is several times better than Chen Ze.

Chen Dahai can give her a better life!

At this time, Chen Ze's face appeared before his eyes again.

Jia Xiaodang was extremely grateful that divorce was the best decision she had made in the past four years!

After all, being handsome cannot make a living. Chen Dahai is a little ugly and a little fat, but he has better conditions!

Rich!

that's enough!

Isn’t it enough to give her a better life, to let her have enough food and clothing and not have to worry about money all day?

Several people took their seats.

The matchmaker standing by looked at Jia Xiaodang who was keeping his head down and saying nothing, and instantly understood what was going on.

Then he said to Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, "Sister Zhang, Huairu. You see, both children are very satisfied. How about we settle the matter today?"

"Tomorrow, I will bring Dahai to propose marriage. Just as we said before, 500 yuan for the betrothal gift?"

The matchmaker who came with Chen Dahai to propose marriage lived in a nearby courtyard. She was a few years younger than Jia Zhang and made a living by matchmaking.

Hearing the matchmaker's words, Jia Xiaodang couldn't help but look up.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

I couldn't help but whisper, "Getting engaged tomorrow? Isn't that a bit too soon?"

"I just divorced Chen Ze..."

"quick??"

“Where is the happiness???”

On the side, Jia Zhang's face changed instantly. She glared at Jia Xiaodang fiercely and said unhappily.

"Why did you mention that sickly guy? Besides, you have nothing to do with him now. Not to mention the engagement tomorrow, even today, you have nothing to do with him!!"

"Besides, your sister-in-law is about to give birth! If she can't take it out then..."

On the side, Qin Huairu raised her elbow and poked Jia Zhang, signaling the latter.

Jia Zhang understood what he meant and swallowed the words.

The matchmaker's eyes rolled, and then she spoke, "Xiao Dang!"

"Your grandmother is right."

"Now that you are single again, when you get engaged has nothing to do with Chen Ze. Tomorrow happens to be the eighth day of the lunar new year, a good day! Why not wait for a better day? Let's get engaged tomorrow, how about it?"

The honest and simple Chen Dahai scratched his head.

He grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said with a smile, "Auntie is right!"

"Don't worry, Xiaodang. I will definitely make sure you live a good life. I have already thought about it. After we get married, you will take care of the inside and I will take care of the outside."

"I earn money to support the family, and you take care of the housework."

"Yeah." Jia Xiaodang blushed and responded softly.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang cleared her throat, raised her triangular eyes and said to the matchmaker, "We can get engaged tomorrow, but let's talk about the gift."

"One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan. Chen Dahai, bring one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan to propose marriage tomorrow, and our Jia family will agree to this marriage."

One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight?

One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight? ?

Everyone present was stunned.

Before this, the two families had basically reached an agreement that the bride price would only be 500 yuan.

In this era, the bride price in urban areas is basically 500 yuan.

No one expected that Jia Zhang would ask for such a high price and triple the bride price.

The corner of Chen Dahai's mouth twitched.

Before this, he only knew that Jia Zhang liked to take advantage of others and was the kind of person who would suffer losses if she couldn't take advantage of others, but he never thought she was so "vicious".

She actually dared to ask for a betrothal gift of 1,888!

My monthly salary is only 120 yuan.

One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight. Even if I don’t eat or drink, I can’t save enough!

numb!

His whole body was numb!

Qin Huairu also widened her eyes with a look of surprise, but did not say anything.

Xiaodang was even more frightened.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

The matchmaker signaled to Chen Dahai with his eyes, and the latter straightened up.

He said in embarrassment, "Grandma Zhang, I need to go home and discuss the 1,888 yuan betrothal gift with my parents."

"How about I come back tomorrow?"

"You can come tomorrow, but I'll make it clear first. The bride price is 1,888 yuan, not a penny less!" Jia Zhang replied stubbornly.

The matchmaker took Chen Dahai and left the courtyard.

After the two left.

Qin Huairu was quite nervous and said worriedly, "Mom! The gift you asked for is too high. What if they don't agree?"

"disagree??"

Jia Zhang said coldly,

"How dare he disagree!"
