Chapter 808

~5 min read 880 words

Let's not talk about how the people in the courtyard felt.

Anyway, Shazhu felt like he was soaking in a honey pot every day now.

Jin Lian was young, beautiful, gentle, and considerate, making him love her to the bone.

Even Qin Huairu had to stand aside!

And Jin Lian knew many people.

During this period, she helped him introduce a lot of work.

In order to be worthy of Jin Lian and let Jin Lian live a good life,

Shazhu worked hard and desperately.

At his hardest, he cooked 108 dishes in one day.

Although he was very tired, he was very happy in his heart.

He felt that life suddenly had a goal.

He had endless strength all over his body.

Just to save enough bride price to marry Jin Lian home as soon as possible.

Jin Lian was willing to date him and marry him.

But Jin Lian had a condition.

That was to have a bride price.

Her father died early.

The family only left her, her mother, and her younger brother.

Although she had a job, her income was meager.

Her mother was in poor health and took medicine all year round.

Her younger brother was idle and didn't do his proper job.

The family relied entirely on her to support and feed them.

If she married, the family would have no income.

So whoever wanted to marry her must leave a bride price sufficient to support the family.

"At least" it had to be able to support Jin Lian's younger brother until he worked and married.

Jin Lian's younger brother, Jin Hu, was seventeen years old this year.

It was expected that he would work and marry within a year.

How much money would it take to support a family for a year.

Based on the standard of ten yuan per person per month for living expenses.

Then how much bride price was needed?

Yuan!

Even if calculated based on Shazhu's wages at the steel rolling factory.

It would take more than half a year to save enough for this 240-yuan bride price without eating or drinking.

But in reality, who could save money without eating or drinking?

Can you be full by drinking the northwest wind?

Probably not!

What if there's a southeast wind?

Probably not either!

In these years, bride prices of ten or twenty yuan were considered a lot.

You open your mouth and want more than two hundred yuan?

Are you inlaid with gold or have you grown into Yang Guifei?

Or do you think I have a mine at home?

Go play wherever it's cool!

It's hard to find a three-legged toad.

Can't you find a two-legged woman?

There's no need to go bankrupt because of a woman.

Or even carry a high debt.

It was precisely because of this sky-high bride price.

Jin Lian hadn't been married off.

Previous blind date partners were all scared away by this sky-high bride price.

And it was precisely because of this that Shazhu had the opportunity to get close to her.

This bride price was very high!

But who am I, Shazhu?

Do you know who the boss of the Sihe Academy is?

Who have I, Shazhu, ever been afraid of?

With my hands in my pockets, I, Shazhu, am afraid of no one!

Can I still be afraid of a mere bride price?

As the saying goes, why live, why die, why struggle for a lifetime!

I, Shazhu, have skills, am not afraid of hardship, and am not afraid of fatigue!

I have the confidence to save enough for this bride price.

And marry Jin Lian into the He family in a grand way.

To live a happy and wonderful life.

Shazhu returned happily.

Third Aunt asked casually: "Shazhu! You're so happy, you must have earned a lot again."

Shazhu showed off: "Not much, just five yuan for a hard day's work."

Hearing that Shazhu earned five yuan a day.

Zhou Guiying, who was washing vegetables, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Five yuan a day is really not a small amount!

Yan Jiecheng's average daily wage was only a little over one yuan.

I didn't expect this old and ugly Shazhu to be so capable of earning money.

However, Zhou Guiying had seen the world after all.

So what if you can earn five yuan a day?

You still don't have a formal job.

Hungry one meal and full the next, there's no future.

How can it be as promising as my Yan Jiecheng.

After a while, my Jiecheng will be a cadre.

At that time, what is money?

It's just paper!

Zhou Guiying didn't care about the income of five yuan a day.

But others cared.

Even though the two families had fought each other,

Third Aunt still praised Shazhu against her will.

Not to mention other neighbors.

One by one, they praised Shazhu for being promising.

This made Shazhu bubble with happiness.

Carrying the net bag and lunch box, he walked home happily.

"Qin Jie, don't grab it!"

"It's empty, empty, empty!"

As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, the net bag and lunch box were snatched away.

You don't need to open your eyes to know who it is. ===== CHAPTER 810 =====
