Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

"What? A job in the county? Two more?"

Old Wang and his wife were completely confused. He looked at his second son in front of him as if he didn't know him.

Wang Yubao looked outside the wall and saw no one. The production team had not yet finished work and his brother had not returned. There were only three people in his family in and outside the yard.

"Dad, our family is safe this time. Let me tell you, there is a family surnamed Yang in the county. Their son died of illness last year, and the old couple wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for their son.

He said he wanted this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, gave her a two-hundred-yuan betrothal gift, and arranged two jobs for her in the county town. What do you say?"

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands violently and almost jumped up with joy.

"Oh my god, there's such a good thing. Now that money-losing guy has a place to go."

Old Wang didn't say anything, but the walnut wrinkles on his face appeared from his smile.

Wang Yubao couldn't hold back his laughter and whispered.

"Oh my god, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My boyfriend told me as soon as he heard the news. What am I thinking? Isn't his betrothal gift only 200 yuan?

My partner wants a hundred, but he has to work for both of us. I'm going to work in the county, and then I'll buy a big house and take you two in. Wouldn't our family be able to turn things around?"

Old Wang's face turned serious and he shook his head as he spoke.

"That's not right. This job requires you and your brother's family to share. How can I give you a partner? Isn't that a bit of a betrayal?"

Wang Yubao immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"No, Dad, are you being unreasonable? Who told you this letter? Was it my girlfriend? If it weren't for her, this good thing would have been snatched away by someone else long ago. Why are you still trying to be so ungrateful? When the time comes, you'll see my girlfriend give you a big fat grandson. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Old Wang thought about it carefully and shook his head again.

"That's true, but what can your brother do if he finds out?"

Wang Yubao jumped up when he heard it.

"Fuck! Why wouldn't he do it? He just sits back and reaps the benefits. All the property in Dawangzhuang belongs to him. I won't even fight with him for my eldest brother's pension and the hundred yuan you two have. Isn't that enough?"

Old Wang was stunned by his second son's yelling, and his wife slapped him.

"Are you getting senile? With your second son's behavior, if he doesn't have a job to keep him company, which girl would want to spend her life with him? Wouldn't we be the ones worrying about him then?"

Besides, this is a ghost marriage, so we should bargain with him for the betrothal gift. Either add a little more money or give him a job, wouldn't that be enough? "

Old Wang suddenly realized what was going on and kept praising the old lady. The old lady was so proud...

The three of them were talking so animatedly that no one thought of asking Liu Fengqin for her opinion. In their minds, the eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter were objects, not people, and were things they could buy and sell at will.

Old Lady Wang said to Wang Yubao,

"Go talk to your partner and that guy surnamed Yang and ask him to either give you a 500 yuan betrothal gift or give you another job. If they agree, they'll send a matchmaker over tomorrow to finalize the matter."

Wang Yubao agreed, got up and ran out.

Poor Wang Yuegui still doesn’t know that her grandparents and uncle have sold her to a... dead man.

……

When Wang Guangchuan got the news, he ran to Yang Liusheng's house with joy. When he got there, he told the old couple. Yang Liusheng and his wife never expected that their brother-in-law would be so helpful this time and get the news so quickly.

When they heard that the bride price was 1,000 yuan and there were two jobs, Yang Liusheng and Wang were shocked. Isn't this nonsense? With such a bride price, it is more than enough to marry three young girls.

Wang Guangchuan curled his lips when he heard this.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are right. This thousand yuan and two jobs are enough to marry five, not to mention three virgin girls. But then again, the people they marry are real people.

What about Old Wang’s daughter? She married a tablet all her life. Some people remain widows all their lives, but at least they can have someone lying down and breathing. But what about Old Wang’s daughter?

Think about it, if it weren't for the desperate situation, who would sell their daughter to a dead person..."

After hearing this, Yang Liusheng and his wife fell silent. Wang pushed Yang Liusheng.

"I need to tell Xiaoyu about this and see what she means."

Yang Liusheng nodded.

"Uncle, come with me to the post office and call Xiaoyu to see what she means."

Wang Guangchuan knew that the old couple had no say and that Yang Yu had to make the final decision, so he nodded in agreement readily.

In this era, if you want to make a phone call, apart from the various units, you have to go to the post office. The post office has public phones, but you have to pay.

Now Yang Liusheng was also nervous. He picked up the phone and dialed the number in a pretentious manner. He called Yang Yu's home phone number. It happened that Yang Yu was having dinner with her newly married husband Wu Jianghe.

When Yang Yu received the call, she heard that the other party wanted a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift and two jobs, so she agreed without hesitation. She would send the money back tomorrow, and there was no problem finding a job in the county town.

Finding a job in the county town is extremely difficult for ordinary people, but for a big shot like Wu Jianghe, it is just a matter of making a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Liusheng and Wang Guangchuan clapped their hands in joy. Wang Guangchuan was happy that the money and the job were about to be in his hands. This time he had helped a lot. If he had any trouble in the future, he could find his eldest niece and it would be easy to solve it, right?

Yang Liusheng was happy because Wang Guangchuan said that the little girl of the Wang family was so pretty, with a small nose, small mouth and big eyes. Yang Liusheng was drooling after hearing that. In fact, Wang Guangchuan was bragging, and he had never seen the real girl.

The two returned to Old Yang's house and told Wang about it. Wang immediately decided that without further delay, after Yang Yu came back tomorrow, she would take care of the betrothal gifts and work matters, and immediately hire a matchmaker to propose marriage.

When Wang Guangchuan heard about hiring a matchmaker to propose marriage, his eyes rolled. He couldn't let his sister and brother-in-law hire someone. This person is gossipy and if he reveals that he had deducted 800 yuan from the other person, he would be in trouble both internally and externally.

"Oh, my sister, brother-in-law, why are you hiring a matchmaker? I'm a serious matchmaker, who would dare to take such a job? Don't you think it's unlucky?"

"What should we do?"

Wang Guangchuan waved his hand, wiped the corner of his eyes and said.

"Okay, don't worry about it, you two. As the saying goes, mother is the mother's brother, and uncle is the most important. After all, my nephew is mine. As his uncle, it's my duty to help him realize his wish. I'll be the matchmaker. No matter what, I have to make this happen."

When the old couple heard this, they were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They cooked a few more delicious dishes, heated up two pots of wine, and treated Wang Guangchuan to a good drink...
