Chapter 127 The Beautiful Village Girl Who Impersonated Someone Else (10)
I told him last time that sending letters would be enough, and he shouldn't send anything else. He listened, but not completely.
Besides the letter, there was also a set of stamps commemorating the national mountaineering team's resurgence on Mount Everest. The set consisted of three stamps and had just been issued.
One depicts the majestic and towering world's highest peak, another shows the image of the national mountaineering team, and the third shows the team members displaying the national flag on the summit. It's enough to stir your heart!
Jiang Linghan told her to use these stamps when replying, but Chang Ning couldn't bear to part with them and kept them.
Besides the stamps, there were also some cloth coupons inside. The letter also mentioned that he had wired her 120 yuan at the post office, which was his allowance and subsidy from last month. It was getting cold, so he wanted her to make some more clothes.
There's another matter that requires my mother-in-law's help with, which concerns Tao Hongdou's marriage.
Jiang Linghan didn't want to get involved. His idea was to give the Tao family a sum of money to completely buy out their gratitude.
For more than 20 years, unless there were special circumstances, their family had sent things to her every year, more or less. Now that Old Mrs. Tao has passed away, continuing like this might just cause enmity later.
His mother didn't quite agree. The older generation values relationships and felt that giving money directly seemed too cold. But Jiang Linghan's idea also made sense. After Old Madam Tao passed away, the Tao family contacted them much more frequently, always asking for something.
Finally, his mother said she would give the Tao family the choice: first, give them 500 yuan in a lump sum; second, help Tao Hongdou find a partner in the army. No matter what they chose, the two families would not need to contact each other again.
Upon receiving the news, Yan Shuqin immediately went to the Tao family's house. It was evening when she arrived, and the entire family was there.
Besides Tao's parents, there's Tao's eldest brother and sister-in-law and their 2-year-old son, Tao's second brother, Tao Hongdou, and Tao's youngest sister who is still in school.
After Yan Shuqin finished speaking, the expressions of the people inside varied. She didn't linger, glanced at them, and said, "Alright, I've delivered the message. I'm waiting to go back and cook. Think it over and give me a definite answer tomorrow!"
As soon as she left, the Tao family erupted in a commotion. The second brother of the Tao family spoke first: "What are we even considering? Of course, it's about the money, a full 500 yuan!"
People from the countryside have never seen so much money before!
Tao's eldest brother cursed, "All you care about is money! Don't you even think about what our situation is now!"
"What's going on? I knew I wasn't married yet; I'm waiting for the money to get married!"
He recently hooked up with a city girl, and she's asking for a dowry of 200 yuan. The Tao family can't afford that, so they're just dragging it out. With 500 yuan, none of this will be a problem; it'll be enough to marry two wives!
Tao's eldest sister-in-law felt a little embarrassed by these words, so she simply sat there without saying anything, since this matter had nothing to do with her anyway.
Tao's father tapped his pipe on the table: "You've been idling around all day, and now you're getting anxious? Shut your mouth!"
Tao's eldest brother said, "What do they mean by this? Do they want to sever all ties with our family?"
"We have no relation to each other!" Tao Er spat. "You really think you're family, always writing letters and making phone calls. They're probably fed up with it by now!"
Tao's mother, being directly involved, was immediately stung and retorted, "Second son, what are you saying! Have you not eaten or used any of the things you send me?"
"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for you? The big and the small children all ask for food and clothing. If you're so capable, go to the fields and earn some work points! You haven't brought a single penny home, yet you have so much to say!"
Tao's second son was a reckless brat. "I don't care. I don't think there's anything to consider. I want 500 yuan!"
Tao's eldest brother frowned. "If we don't want either of them, is it even possible to salvage this relationship?"
The Jiang family is clearly a powerful family; we'll have plenty of opportunities to ask for their help in the future.
Tao's father said, "The eldest son is right, why don't we send some things over too..."
"no!"
Tao's father was suddenly interrupted when Tao Hongdou stood up: "I want them to introduce me to someone!"
"Don't say anything if it's none of your business." That was Tao's eldest brother.
Tao's second brother said, "With 500 yuan, you can find a girlfriend anywhere!"
That's true, but Tao Hongdou also knew that if she chose 500 yuan, she would definitely have no say in the matter!
When my eldest brother got married, we didn't have any money. We wanted the Chang family to pay the bride price first, but they refused. In the end, we scraped together the money to help my brother get married.
From then on, her mother was not happy about the marriage with the Chang family. After all, there was an older brother waiting to get married, which required money. The Chang family was unwilling to pay, so the money could only come from her dowry.
Tao Hongdou was clear-headed like never before: "They've already said all that, and we're still shamelessly clinging to them. Do we really think they'll pay any attention to us?!"
"That Commander Jiang from last time already promised to introduce me to a commander. If you can also find me a commander as a girlfriend, then you can choose 500 yuan!"
The second brother was the first to exclaim in surprise, "Commander?"
The eldest child also asked, "Mom, is it true?"
Tao's mother, Chen Baicui, snorted coldly: "Of course it's true!"
Yan Shuqin was not happy when she received the news from the Tao family the next day.
Of course, if they chose 500 yuan, she would still be unhappy. Why should they be able to make a lot of money just by sitting at home?
However, she immediately thought of another problem, "Ningning, when you write to Xiao Jiang, ask him if finding a partner for Tao Hongdou is to be done in their garrison area. You absolutely cannot do that!"
"Otherwise, if she goes with the army, you'll be running into each other all the time, which would be too awkward!"
When Chang Ning replied, she asked him this question and also sent him two black and white photos.
Ever since the last photo shoot, Chang Ning has become obsessed with it. Every few days, she would pester Yan Shuqin for two yuan to take photos. Sometimes Yan Shuqin would give her the money, and sometimes she wouldn't, but she still managed to get two new photos.
Since Jiang Linghan sent so many things, Yan Shuqin couldn't just leave without showing any appreciation. Considering the cold weather and the fact that they lived further north, she bought yarn and knitted him a sweater, along with some roasted peanuts and dried sweet potatoes that she had made at home, and sent them over as well.
Later, I received a reply from him saying that he had entrusted the matter of introducing Tao Hongdou to a potential partner to his older brother, who was a political commissar at another military post and also had to keep an eye on the personal issues of the troops.
This time, his older brother gave him two choices. One was a 26-year-old battalion commander. His parents had both passed away, and no one had arranged a marriage for him, which is why he had been single until now.
There is another regimental commander, but he is already 32 years old. He was married before, but his wife passed away from illness at the beginning of the year. Now he is raising two children on his own and is too busy to manage. He is very anxious to remarry.
Currently, only these two are suitable. We'll see which one Tao Jia prefers. If neither is satisfactory, we'll have to wait a bit longer.
