Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Life at home is already hard, and without the labor force of the daughter-in-law, life would be unbearable.

Moreover, this damn Xu Damao not only had no intention of compensating the old Tian family, he even did not allow them to come to the city to look for someone.

Isn't this just to prevent them from coming to ask for money?

If I agree, I won't get the money but lose a daughter-in-law instead.

"Mom, didn't you just agree to let us get married? Why do you change your mind so suddenly?"

Before Xu Damao could say anything, the young widow next to him became anxious.

She had long been looking forward to living a good life in the city. She had been looking forward to it even before she got married, but unfortunately she had no way to marry into the city.

I didn't expect that now that I'm a widow, I have the opportunity to fulfill my wish.

It is true that what is destined to happen will eventually come true!

"Shut up!" The woman glared at the young widow fiercely.

It's bad enough that his daughter-in-law has brought shame to the Tian family in the village, but now she actually wants to remarry?

If I had known, I would have broken her legs last night!

"Since Damao and this girl are willing, let's finalize their marriage in front of everyone."

"Hey, I'll take you to get a letter of introduction. Don't go back to the village today. Stay at our house tonight and we'll get the certificate tomorrow."

"It just so happens that all the neighbors in the courtyard are here, so I won't notify them one by one. Shazhu, do you have time to cook tomorrow? If not, I'll go out and ask someone to cook."

After saying that, Xu Fugui nodded to the onlookers in the yard.

This time he was very decisive and made immediate arrangements for Xu Damao's marriage.

"I didn't agree, I haven't agreed yet!"

The woman screamed excitedly and even picked up the hatchet again, shouting that she wanted to chop Xu Damao to death.

This scared everyone in the hospital.

This woman is like a madman, she wants to chop people at the slightest provocation.

Didn’t she just force Xu Damao to marry the young widow? Why is Xu Damao unhappy now that he has agreed to her?

"You want to marry my daughter-in-law without paying a penny? I'll chop you to death!"

Just as the woman rushed towards Xu Damao screaming, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Stop! What are you doing!?"

When everyone heard the familiar voice, they looked towards the door and found that it was Director Wang from the Street Office.

I don’t know who in the hospital was so enthusiastic that they went to the street office to report the matter, so that Director Wang was called by the clerk early in the morning.

Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies and slept with a young widow and was arrested?

The noise has already spread to Nanluoguxiang.

Director Wang was also very angry when he heard the news.

Seeing Director Wang coming, Xu Fugui couldn't help but twitch his eyes a few times.

Who is so enthusiastic about brewing it?

The matter was about to be resolved, so Director Wang was called in.

In order to seize the initiative, Xu Fugui took the lead and said, "Director Wang, this woman wants to extort money. If we don't give it to her, she will attack us with a knife!"

Director Wang looked in the direction Xu Fugui pointed, and indeed saw the woman holding the hatchet and Xu Damao, who looked terrified.

"Director Wang, this is what happened..."

Xu Fugui strode up to Director Wang and passionately recounted the story of Xu Damao and the young widow.

According to his description, Xu Damao and the young widow had known each other for a long time, and they were willing and in love with each other.

Xu Damao was at the age of full of vigor and vitality, and he made a mistake because he couldn't control himself.

But their family made a mistake and saved people, so they stood at attention when they were beaten. According to the wishes of the young widow's mother-in-law, Xu Damao married the young widow.

It was originally a happy scene, but the woman was not happy.

He yelled at the Xu family to give him money, and demanded several hundred dollars!

After these words were spoken, even the onlookers were no longer calm.

Why didn’t I realize that Xu Fugui was so eloquent before? He turned black into white and described an affair as free love.

The young widow's mother-in-law became a bad person who tried to extort money by pretending to be someone else!

Chen Jun also looked at Xu Fugui in surprise.

Talent!

If this was used to sell health products in the future, it would definitely be the best-selling product.

"Well, now it's a new society and a new trend. Widows also have the right to remarry. If Xu Damao and others come with mutual consent, no one can stop them." Director Wang took a close look at the young widow and knew that she was happy about it.

And Xu Damao didn't object either.

In this case, it would be better to bring the two together, and the bad reputation of being an adulterer can be naturally eliminated.

As a woman, Director Wang also knows how difficult life is for this young widow.

Especially for a young widow who still lives in the countryside, her life is even more difficult.

So when she heard that Xu Damao was willing to marry the young widow, Director Wang agreed very much.

It's a happy performance.

"Hey, thank you Director Wang." Xu Fugui grinned, feeling that the matter was settled.

"I disagree!"

"They didn't even give a penny for the bride price, and they want to marry my daughter-in-law? There is no such good thing in the world!"

"Leader, not only does the Xu family not give us a dowry, they also forbid us from coming to the city to find someone in the future and want to sever ties with our Tian family." The woman shouted excitedly.

She was really worried that this leader named Wang would finalize the matter.

"Dowry? Why should I give you a dowry?"

With Director Wang's support, Xu Damao finally put his mind at ease. He pointed at the woman and shouted, "If you want to give a betrothal gift, it should be given to her parents' family. How can you give it to her husband's family?"

"You are just her mother-in-law, not her mother!"

Hey?

After hearing what Xu Damao said, the onlookers in the courtyard felt that it made sense.

Although the young widow is the daughter-in-law of the old Tian family, she is not the daughter of the old Tian family. If Xu Damao is willing to give a betrothal gift, it should be given to the young widow's family.

"But she is my daughter-in-law!" The woman was very angry, but she had no way to refute.

"You said you're my daughter-in-law. How could a mother-in-law accept a gift from her daughter-in-law?" Xu Damao snorted coldly, turned to the young widow and said, "I'm willing to give you 20 yuan as a gift!"

Twenty dollars?

The young widow's eyes lit up when she heard this.

When she got married, she only received a five-yuan dowry, while normal city dwellers only received ten yuan as dowry.

The twenty yuan that Xu Damao has is already a lot.

"Leader, you have to make the decision for me. If my daughter-in-law marries Xu Damao, our family will have one less person to do the work!" The woman knew that she could not argue with Xu Damao, so she turned to Director Wang for help.

Director Wang also thought it made sense.

"Xu Damao, after you two get married, you can give the Tian family four dollars a month for the children's expenses. Is that okay?"

Xu Damao frowned at first, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Fugui on the side spoke first.

"Director Wang, no problem, I'll pay you four dollars a month!"

"Okay, then it's settled. We'll send money to the Tian family on the 15th of every month." Director Wang turned to look at the woman and said, "If the Xu family doesn't send money, you can come to the street office to find me."
