Qin Huairu was furious when she saw Jia Zhangshi's expression. She felt that she was acting in the best interests of the Jia family.

Banggeng married a filial wife, and Jia Zhangshi also benefited from it.

As a result, Jia Zhangshi did not share her views and was unwilling to help her.

Without Jia Zhangshi's help, Qin Huairu wouldn't have any good ideas.

"She really agreed to marry you? How much dowry is she planning to ask our Jia family for?"

"Let me tell you, Mom doesn't have much money. If she asks for too much, you should look for someone else."

This "other person" refers, of course, to Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi felt it was none of her business and decided to stay out of it, but Qin Huairu dragged her into the mess.

Jia Zhangshi might not care about other things, but she couldn't be indifferent to the matter of the bride price.

Having lived under the same roof for decades, who doesn't know who else?

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's expression changed.

It doesn't matter much to Banggeng what kind of wife she finds. As a grandmother, it's not really her place to interfere in her granddaughter-in-law's affairs.

All of this is contingent on not making her pay.

If you ask her to pay, forget it. She'd rather stay single forever.

Qin Huairu thought that this move would force Bang Geng to go to Jia Zhangshi, and then make Jia Zhangshi stand up and support her.

But he guessed wrong.

Tang Yanling did have a request, but it didn't require Jia Zhangshi's money.

Banggeng said, "Mom, Yanling knows our family's situation and didn't mention asking for a bride price."

That day at the Chaoyang Hotel, we talked a lot about courtyard houses. So I can be considered to know about the Jia family.

As for the bride price, it wasn't mentioned, mainly because it wasn't the right time to bring it up.

The issue of betrothal gifts will only be raised once Bang Geng has found Tang Yanling a job.

Qin Huairu was taken aback, expressing her utter incomprehension. When she married Jia Dongxu, she had demanded a dowry of five yuan.

Nowadays, girls can't even meet the requirements of "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three-turn watches, a watch, and a radio), so how could they not ask for a bride price?

She really wanted to ask Tang Yanling if there was something wrong with her. But before she could say it, she remembered that she had seen Tang Yanling that day.

Tang Yanling not only has no health problems, but she is also quite pretty.

Qin Huairu felt that even if she couldn't compare to herself, she wouldn't be much worse.

If we really have to point out a flaw, the only reason is that it was a second marriage.

Upon hearing that no bride price was required, Jia Zhangshi immediately said, "That's wonderful. Your mother swindled five yuan from our family for a bride price back then."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but roll her eyes. If she had known the true situation of the Jia family, she wouldn't have married Jia Dongxu even if she had been offered a dowry of five hundred yuan.

There were clearly better options in the courtyard house, but Yi Zhonghai chose the worst one for him, and it was also short-lived.

She was betrayed by Yi Zhonghai, and her life was ruined.

This grudge will be settled sooner or later, with interest.

"Banggeng, tell Mom, does she really not want a bride price? If she really doesn't want one, then I won't prepare any at all."

Banggeng nodded: "Yanling really didn't mention the bride price."

However, she also made a request.

Qin Huairu thought to herself, "I knew things wouldn't be that simple. These days, no woman doesn't want a dowry."

Anyone who doesn't want a bride price is a fool.

"What are her requirements? As a divorced woman, if she lived in the countryside, she could only marry men with problems."

Don't make unreasonable demands.

The day after Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu, she regretted it.

She only persevered because she was worried that after the divorce, her family would arrange for her to marry someone incompetent.

Bang Geng said, "Actually, it's not a difficult request. Yanling is an ambitious person, and she wants our family to help her find a job."

"Find a job?" Qin Huairu said, "If I had that ability, I would have found you a good job long ago. Why would she have a chance?"

These are Qin Huairu's true feelings.

When she was looking for a job for Banggeng, she begged and pleaded with everyone she knew, but no one was willing to help.

Banggeng also knew this, and was well aware that Tang Yanling's request was a difficult problem for the Jia family.

But there was nothing he could do; he had pursued Tang Yanling for so long, and this was the only opportunity he could find to marry her.

He doesn't want to give up.

"Mom, I know it's difficult, but I just like Yanling. Please think of a way." Qin Huairu said helplessly, "You heard it too, we're going to open a fried chicken shop. Let her come and help me."

Banggeng quickly said, "Yanling wants to work as a waitress at Shazhu's restaurant."

I'm not going to your fried chicken shop.

Qin Huai looked at Bang Geng in disbelief.

This request was something she hadn't expected at all.

When she first learned that He Yuzhu was opening a restaurant, she tried to find a way to get He Yuzhu to let Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua work there.

But she couldn't even see He Yuzhu, let alone get any work.

She also contacted MCA, but MCA simply ignored her.

"Do you know what you're saying? Don't you know the relationship between our family and Sha Zhu?"

He's unlikely to help our family.

Bang Geng knew this, of course, but he couldn't care less about anything else in order to marry Tang Yanling.

"Mom, I don't care, I'm going to marry Yanling. Yanling said she'll marry me if I can get a job as a waitress at Shazhu's restaurant."

"You'd better think of a way."

Qin Huairu looked troubled.

This isn't a question of whether or not we should try to find a solution.

This is a problem that is simply impossible to solve.

From the time she married into the courtyard house at the age of eighteen until He Yuzhu moved away, more than twenty years had passed.

Over the years, He Yuzhu has never helped her once, not even a single cornbread.

Qin Huairu truly couldn't understand. She was a beautiful young wife with no grudge against He Yuzhu, yet He Yuzhu threatened to treat her like that.

She asked herself if she had done anything to wrong He Yuzhu.

"How am I supposed to come up with a solution? When you were little, you were so hungry you went to Sha Zhu's house to beg for food."

He clearly had so much, yet he didn't give you a single piece. Have you forgotten?

How could I forget?

Bang Geng has always kept in mind the grievances he suffered in the past.

Given the chance, he will definitely seek revenge on He Yuzhu.

"Mom, the past is the past. Now it's my turn to get married."

Try going to find the old, childless man.

If Yanling could get a job at Shazhu's restaurant, it would be beneficial for our family.

Don’t you think so?

Grandma, please help me persuade my mom.

Bang Geng knew clearly that he alone couldn't persuade Qin Huairu.

If Qin Huairu is to agree, Jia Zhangshi must step in.

Looking at her grandson's plea, Jia Zhangshi's heart softened. Anyway, she didn't need to get involved in this matter, and she didn't want to offend Bang Geng over it.

"Qin Huairu, Banggeng is right. Go and ask Yi Zhonghai for a solution."

Sha Zhu's company hires so many people, why can't they hire us neighbors?

And Bang Geng is right.

Yanling married Banggeng and earned a high salary, which she was going to bring home to you, her mother-in-law.

The more she earns, the more you receive.

There's one more thing I haven't said: she now has someone else to provide her with a pension.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard that she could get paid.

He Yuzhu may refuse, but he may also agree.

If she doesn't try, she won't have any chance at all. Only by trying can she have a chance of success.

Besides, it doesn't require her to get involved, so why would Qin Huairu directly offend Bang Geng?

"Okay. I'll go talk to Lao Yi. By the way, if you gave her the job, will she really marry you?"

"Yanling said it herself."

Qin Huai thought for a moment and said, "Here's what you do: go tell her that you'll give her the job if she marries you. Otherwise, forget it." (End of Chapter)
