Lin Jiaojiao immediately picked up the conversation and said, "Mom, please be more polite to me in the future. I'll get married someday too."

"Eh..."

"You hit me during the New Year," Lin Jiaojiao said, covering her head and complaining to Gu Jinfeng with a wronged expression.

Gu Jinfeng only had one sentence: "Keep nagging!"

Everyone looked at Lin Jiaojiao with helpless expressions.

This child is too provocative.

It turned out that hitting her was effective, and Lin Jiaojiao didn't say anything more about daring to be hit after that.

Zhong Meixian asked a few more questions about Shen Tingyu's marriage.

Gu Shuhe said, "It seems to be the twelfth day of the first lunar month!"

"That means there are only about ten days left!"

"Ok!"

Shen Tingyu and Jiang Ruoruo did indeed meet on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

So after Shen Tingci and Gu Shuhe left, Chen Ying went to ask Shen Pengfei, "Should we start preparing the dishes today?"

"Let's wait a couple of days!"

"The hearing of the resignation was just held not long ago, so there won't be as many people when it's time to hear the resignation."

Since Shen Tingci was his first child, whether it was to curry favor or to give him face, everyone who knew about his son's wedding would eventually come to the celebration.

But by the time the second one comes around, there definitely won't be as many people. They're not related to you, and they might not need your help right now, so they definitely won't attend the wedding.

The main reason is that they paid the bills that were due at Shen Tingci's wedding.

Chen Ying listened to it.

Jiang Ruoruo, on the other hand, started nagging before the Lunar New Year and only stopped on New Year's Eve. As soon as New Year's Day was over, she started making trouble with her family.

She also wanted a large dowry.

In her words, "Gu Shuhe brought so much dowry, and you only gave me this little? How can I face anyone after that?"

Zhou Fenfen, having lost all patience, retorted, "Where is it missing?"

"The Shen family gave you a bride price of 680, and we'll give you the same amount as a dowry. Is that too little?"

"Go out and see how many families are willing to give their daughters such a large dowry."

“Gu Shuhe!” Jiang Ruoruo stared wide-eyed, only uttering these three words.

Zhou Fenfen was so angry that several blisters appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Why do you have to compare yourself to her?"

"That was given to her by her sister-in-law!"

Jiang Ruoruo couldn't bring herself to ask her sister-in-law for more money, because her sister-in-law didn't like her at all and had objections to her bringing so much dowry. How could her sister-in-law possibly give her more than two thousand yuan back?

Of course, her sister-in-law didn't have that much money either.

So Jiang Ruoruo just stared at her mother and said, "Even if it was given by her sister-in-law, what about the ones you gave me?"

"Of the 680 yuan you gave me, half of it was my salary!" Jiang Ruoruo said, tears streaming down her face.

Zhou Fenfen was exhausted and brought to tears by her anger. "You're paid a salary, but you haven't given your family a single penny in all these years you've been working!"

"Not only that, but when you buy things, you always make me pay for them!"

"You know that's all your dad earns!"

"You're not the only one in the family!"

"Even though you're an only child, you have older brothers and younger brothers!"

"Let's leave aside the fact that your brother is married, but what about your younger brother?"

"He's still in school, but he'll get married someday!"

"Are we supposed to empty our savings and borrow money to give you a dowry?"

"Then do your dad, your brother, and I not want to live?"

After Zhou Fenfen finished speaking, she turned her back, wiping away her tears and sobbing, "I don't understand, why did I give birth to such a cursed child like you!"

"How is adding another two hundred yuan considered borrowing money?"

Jiang Ruoruo knew that 2,800 was impossible, but she still wanted more.

From over a thousand yuan, it has now become over eight hundred yuan. In short, it's no longer six hundred and eighty!

Zhou Fenfen glanced at her and told her, "No, that's all!"

"You can marry him if you want, but we can't control you if you don't!"

Jiang Ruoruo immediately threw down what she was holding, "I knew it, I knew you didn't care about me at all. It's because you don't care about me that the Shen family doesn't value me either!"

Zhou Fenfen "..."

She was so angry that she couldn't speak, so she simply stopped talking.

Anyway, no one else knows what kind of trouble the Jiang family has caused.

The days after the New Year were more peaceful.

Gu Shuhe's period had completely stopped by the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but Shen Tingci was unaware of this.

He and Gu Shuhe had become accustomed to being just friends.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiaohui brought her child from her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings to Zhong Meixian and the others.

I bought a lot of things.

When Zhong Meixian saw what she was carrying, she couldn't help but scold her, "You and your daughter have it tough, why did you buy us so much stuff?"

Wang Xiaohui looked apologetic. "If it weren't for you and Aunt Jinfeng helping me take care of Qiuqiu for the past six months, I wouldn't have been able to do any work at all!"

"And this job was also given to me by Aunt Xiaotang. If it weren't for Aunt Xiaotang taking me to the city without finding it troublesome, I would still be suffering in the Lin family!"

"I'm embarrassed to show these things to you, I'll be very happy if you don't mind."

Since she had already said that, what could Zhong Meixian say? She could only accept it and ask the person to stay for lunch.

Wang Xiaohui stayed, but she was the one who prepared almost all the lunches.

During the meal, Wang Xiaohui told Wen Tang and the others that she would go and get a divorce from Lin Jinghui as soon as the staff started work.

She then decided not to return to Shanghai; she had already told her family.

If she saves up enough money in the future, she will take her mother to the city for a short stay to keep her company, but she will never come back to this place.

She made the decision herself, and Wen Tang and the others didn't say anything more. Wen Tang simply raised her teacup and said, "I wish you success in escaping this sea of ​​suffering."

Some escape the sea of ​​suffering, while others jump into it.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiang Xing's team received another person they hadn't seen in a long time.

Luo Tian, ​​who was sent to a labor camp and then returned.

A little over a year of labor reform has changed Luo Tian; her hair is dry and her head is hunched over.

She was brought back by commune personnel.

When it was delivered to Xu Zhongguo, it passed through the brigade all the way, and everyone saw it.

Many people went to watch the spectacle.

When Luo Tian was brought back, Xu Zhongguo was also a little confused. "What happened...?"

The commune staff who brought her back said, "Comrade Luo has reformed. She was originally an educated youth in your brigade, and your brigade is an advanced brigade, so Captain Xu, please help Comrade Luo find a place to settle down."

After saying that, the person left.

Xu Zhongguo looked at Luo Tian, ​​who was standing there with her head down, carrying a bag in her hand. He could only sigh and then asked someone to go with him to the educated youth settlement.

Fortunately, the room that Luo Tian and Luo Qiao had stayed in before was still empty, so she could clean it up and move in.

“You’re still living here, aren’t you?” Xu Zhongguo said.

Luo Tian nodded, "Thank you, Captain!"

Xu Zhongguo waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shut his mouth, turned around and left.

Luo Tian returned to the educated youth settlement, attracting a lot of attention, but no one came up to talk to her.

After all, she is different from ordinary people now; she is a person with a stain on her record.

Luo Tian has returned from her labor camp, and Wen Tang and Chi Yue wondered, "Will Luo Qiao also have to come back here in the future?"

Chi Yue thought it was possible.

Wen Tang only had one sentence: "This world is truly insane!"
