Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Li Cuihua smiled and said, "It's only the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still ten days to fish."

Yuanchun smiled and said apologetically, "I was too greedy for fish and couldn't help myself, so... I was unlucky. A rock by the river was loose and I slipped... Fortunately, a kind person rescued me today. Oh... I forgot, I think I kicked the kind person..."

Yuanchun's reminder reminded the villagers of the person who saved the life.

Everyone turned to look at the man carrying a green bag. Li Cuihua asked with a smile, "Comrade, you are not from our village, right? Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, my name is Guo Jingling. I was asked by my comrade Ma Qingshan to help him deliver a package to his parents."

Li Cuihua slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, that's my brother-in-law. You are my brother-in-law's comrade-in-arms. Come on, come to my house. My parents-in-law are at home."

Guo Jingling nodded to Yuanchun and said, "Comrade, I will be responsible." Then he followed Li Cuihua away.

Yuanchun was also sent back to the Youth League Home by some gossipy aunts in the village.

Sure enough, just like in the previous life, not long after, Li Cuihua's mother-in-law, Aunt Ma, came to the Youth League Home to propose marriage on behalf of Guo Jingling.

Guo Jingling did not hide his own situation. He told her openly that he was married for the second time and had a five-year-old son, and Aunt Ma also told him everything.

Aunt Ma also said, "Shen Zhiqing, Comrade Guo said that if you agree, he will give you a betrothal gift of 120 yuan and buy you a watch and two new sets of clothes."

In the previous life, Guo Jingling did give the original owner a watch, but it was a second-hand one, and Guo Jingling only spent fifty yuan to buy it. What made Yuanchun speechless was that the original owner only wore it for a month before Guo's mother took it and gave it to Guo Jinghong as a dowry.

Her 120 yuan dowry was later spent on her stepson.

She went to pick up her stepson from school. Her stepson always wanted to buy this and that. If she didn't buy them for her, he would beat and scold her as his stepmother in public. The original owner was afraid of being embarrassed, so she had no choice but to give in to him.

But after they got married, Guo Jingling never gave her a penny.

All his salary was handed over to Guo's mother.

She was thin-skinned and strong-willed, and was unwilling to ask her husband and mother-in-law for money, so she could only spend her own betrothal money.

Thinking of the treatment of the original owner, Yuanchun's face fell weakly, and she said, "Aunt Ma, my mother wrote to warn me that if I get married, the betrothal money must not be less than three hundred yuan, and it must be three turns and one ring. Aunt Ma, you know that I am most afraid of my mother. I am afraid that if I don't ask for the betrothal money as my mother said, my mother will go to my husband's house to make trouble. At that time, it will be Comrade Guo's family who will be embarrassed."

Aunt Ma sighed, "Three hundred yuan, and three turns a ring. It's not that expensive to marry a wife in the city."

Yuanchun acted curious and said, "Comrade Guo looks so impressive, isn't he from the city?"

Aunt Ma, "..."

Yuanchun continued, "Auntie Ma, the betrothal gifts in the city are sometimes more expensive than this. Besides, I am a virgin and marrying a second-married man. He is taking advantage of me."

"Besides, I will be a stepmother when I get married. I don't have a job, so I will definitely be like a nanny, serving his family food and drink. Think about it, a nanny in the city costs 15 yuan a month. I asked him for a 300 yuan dowry, which is only for less than two years of nanny fees. If I marry him, I will have to be a nanny for his Guo family for the rest of my life. It's still more cost-effective for him, right?"

Aunt Ma: “…”

Can you still calculate the account this way?
