Having a job, being able to eat enough to feed your children, and even saving a little money throughout the year, is what makes ordinary people happiest.
In an inconspicuous courtyard in Beijing, a group of second-rate gangsters were whispering.
It is not quite accurate to say that they are second-rate people. Although most of them do not have formal jobs on the surface, what they actually earn and their material life are better than most people.
They have been active in the black market for many years, doing all kinds of business, and it is not uncommon for them to buy a yard privately.
But today, the younger brother who always obeyed the boss expressed a different opinion.
"Boss, I think the possibility of that woman coming back is almost zero. She doesn't have any reliable relatives here, so how can anyone help her? This yard will be ours sooner or later. Look, the price is so right, and we may not meet someone like her again in the future. Why don't we just sell it?"
The price was more than just right; it was so great that even Cao Dewang, a veteran in the black market for years, couldn't help but be tempted. If it were any other yard in his hands, he would give it up without hesitation, and would even pull out a ticket from a pile of big unity tickets after receiving the money to show the buyer his brain.
The man gave so much that Cao Dewang was very tempted. However, the yard was not for sale but for mortgage. As a man in the underworld, morality was his life.
Cao Dewang was tempted but did not take action. I felt sorry for him and tried to persuade him with all my heart.
"Boss..."
He was about to say more, but Cao Dewang raised his hand to stop him: "I've already made up my mind. I won't sell it, and besides, we don't have the title deed to the house."
There is only a house deed but no land deed, but that person still dared to buy it. It is hard to say what his plan is.
Cao Dewang thought of the female comrade who had asked him to mortgage her house. She had already agreed to it. A gentleman's promise is as good as gold. She must have good vision.
Just thinking about such a huge sum of money, Cao Dewang couldn't help but feel pain.
The yard is very big, and it feels very cold when the wind blows. My body feels cold, and my heart feels even colder.
This is the case with a big house, but although a small house is not cold, it has other disadvantages, such as the small house that Zhao Yang rented for his family.
Although it was comfortable and even lively every day, it was still far from enough for the Zhao family who wanted to live in a big house.
Zhao Yaozu has a promising sister, and his status in the factory has also risen. Those who used to look down on him and try their best to deduct his salary now have to turn around and curry favor with him.
Zhao Yaozu was very pleased with this change. He was finally able to turn things around and feel proud. If it weren't for his sister's restraint, Zhao Yaozu would have already flown into the air.
But even though he was low-key enough, his spirit was different. He used to be worried every day, drinking and playing cards with others after work, and not caring about his appearance. But now he has changed. He dresses up well every day and actually looks quite handsome. It is inevitable that a good-looking person will be noticed.
Zhao Yaozu started dating the deputy factory director's daughter. Nowadays, love is free and no one would openly say who is not worthy of whom. Everyone just said that Zhao Debang was lucky. The deputy factory director's daughter was a golden flower in the factory. Since she liked him, he would not have to worry about anything in the future.
Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Zhao Yang, the younger sister, is married and has children, but her brother Zhao Yaozu is still not married. It would not sound good if it were spread out, and now Zhao Yaozu is also in a relationship, and everyone is happy to see it.
The deputy director's family was very open-minded. They did not let Zhao Yaozu marry into the family just because his family was not well off. They still planned to have a normal marriage. However, the girl's family was a well-known family after all, so the marriage had to follow the customs.
The three wheels and the ring, the four major items, none of them can be missing, and there must be 32 legs. I don't say how much the betrothal gift is, but 500 yuan is enough...
These things are very respectable for an ordinary family, and it is nothing for the deputy factory director to marry his daughter.
Li Aidi had prepared everything and kept it in the Tan family's house, but now, everything is gone. Even the house is rented. Two grown men live together without a woman, and the house is a mess.
How could the deputy director's daughter marry into this family? As long as they were married, Zhao Yaozu would definitely be the one to divide the house in the future, but they weren't married yet, right? Besides, this house wasn't something you could just get. She couldn't just marry into this rented house, could she?
It's too small and too crowded. If anyone tells others about it, the deputy director and his family will lose face. They have to get a bigger house no matter what. This is where the problem is stuck.
Zhao Yaozu looked at his sister, who was born to the same mother, eagerly, waiting for her to make a decision.
Zhao Yang was silent for a moment. Once upon a time, this was her plan: a betrothal gift and dowry, a grand wedding, harmonious families, and a loving couple. But now...
I don’t even have any of them, so why should my sister-in-law who hasn’t even married yet have them?!
She was unhappy, but she couldn't hide it in front of her family: "Brother, where do I have any money? I'm a pregnant woman with a big belly and I don't even have a job. How can I afford to buy these things?"
Zhao Yang had a bitter look on his face. If it weren't for the new watch that was accidentally revealed, which was of a very high brand and must have cost several hundred dollars, Zhao Yaozu might have actually believed what his sister said.
As if sensing his brother's resentful gaze, Zhao Yang followed his gaze and looked at his wrist.
This watch was given to her by Nian Xin. The word "given" is not appropriate enough to describe it. It should be said that he just threw it to her. When he saw her envious eyes, Nian Xin just threw this watch, which was no different from a new one, to her and replaced it with a more gorgeous and beautiful one. Zhao Yang can still clearly remember Nian Xin's expression of grace at that time, and the watch shining on Nian Xin's slender wrist.
Even so, Zhao Yang was reluctant to put down the watch that had been discarded casually, but put it on his wrist. When his mother-in-law Lin Yin saw it, her in-laws' attitude towards him became a little warmer.
The value of the watch is not important, what is important is the meaning behind it. Zhao Yang lowered his eyes gently: "I can't give you this watch, and don't worry about the other things. You are my brother, so wait a little longer. When your brother-in-law comes back, those people will not have time to curry favor with you."
By then, don't even mention the betrothal gifts or the house. I'm afraid you won't have to pay anything to marry into the Zhao family.
But this house really needs to be changed. Her parents' home is her reputation, and she is embarrassed to say that she is renting a house with so many ordinary people.
