Chapter 291: You must not marry someone whose parents do not agree
"Tiantian, you have no idea how grateful our family is to Aunt Hu. Really! If Aunt Hu hadn't reminded my parents, my eldest sister would have almost married into that family..."
He Sanhua hugged Jiang Tian’s arm, it’s scary just thinking about it!
A girl's heart is always full of spring. Girls of this age are full of dreamy expectations and longings for love and marriage.
They don't care about the bride price, nor do they want a house or a car. They just want to marry a man who is willing to protect them from the wind and rain and take care of them for the rest of their lives.
However, many people don’t know that the greatest pain and hardship in their second half of life was brought to them by this man…
In the past, when the three sisters of the He family were together, they also secretly talked about this secret and exciting topic.
What kind of in-laws will their families find for them?
What would that boy look like?
Now? After careful discussion, the three sisters of the He family have tentatively decided on a "three no-marriage" policy:
If your parents don’t agree, you must not marry!
Never marry someone whose family background you don’t know!
You should never marry a man who has no permanent property and can’t even support his wife and children!
Don't ask, if you ask, it's because our zodiac signs are in conflict, our horoscopes are not harmonious, and the master said that it's not appropriate for my family to hold a wedding this year...
As long as their parents protect them, isn't it easy to find reasons to reject the matchmaker?
Although Boss He insisted on not letting Hu Qiongfang spend any money, a few days later, Hu Qiongfang went to the department store in person, selected two silk quilt covers, and matched them with a pair of embroidered pillowcases. When Boss He and his wife came to the store to deliver food, she persuaded them to give the gift.
The He family is now living a better and better life thanks to their youngest daughter, He Sanhua.
He Sanhua and her sister He Zaihua, although both were in school, usually went to Fangjie Fast Food to deliver takeout on weekends. During the summer vacation, they followed Jiang Tian to fish for crayfish, eels, and crabs. After two months, the two sisters actually earned more than 2,000 yuan!
Now, not only did the sisters not have to spend a penny on their family’s tuition, but they also did not plan to ask their family for living expenses for the next semester.
The money left over from school can be used to buy the two sisters some clothes, shoes and so on. It can be said that the two sisters no longer need to be supported by their family.
Mr. He now works on the construction site with his uncle Hu. After work, he can help his wife grow vegetables. In the past six months, the couple has saved more than 3,000 yuan from their wages and selling vegetables.
The couple deposited the money in a bank deposit and did not dare to spend a single cent.
Even when relatives came to borrow money, the couple gritted their teeth and refused to give, saying that they wanted to save it for their three children's schooling.
If I lend it out now, I don’t know when my relatives will return it.
Could it be that just because you become a relative, you will not even care about the future of your own children?
Although Mr. He and his wife are honest, they are not so stupid.
He Dahua is now working in a construction site canteen owned by Uncle Hu, doing the same job that Jiang Tian did in her previous life.
Working in a construction site canteen sounds hard, but it’s actually not that tiring, three meals a day are provided, and the salary you earn every month can be saved.
She has already told her family that when she gets married, she will use her own savings to buy the bicycle watch as a dowry, so that all the money in the family can be left for her younger brothers and sisters to go to school.
The four siblings in the He family have a good relationship, so when making this decision, He Dahua did not think of herself as a brother-supporting/sister-supporting person.
She believes in her brothers and sisters!
She knew that as long as her younger brothers and sisters had a promising future, they would not ignore her when she needed help.
What He Dahua didn't know was that her younger brothers and sisters were actually secretly saving a dowry for her.
Sisters He Zaihua and He Sanhua had agreed that they would take out 300 yuan from the money they earned during the summer vacation to buy a gold necklace and a gold ring for their eldest sister as treasures for her.
Even the youngest brother, He Siqiang, saved up a few hundred yuan of pocket money by fishing for crayfish, catching crabs and snails with his two sisters during the summer vacation. With a red face, he stole the money from his eldest sister and ran to the clothing store run by his second uncle Hu, and bought his eldest sister a bright red tweed coat. He asked his sister to wear it on the day she returned home, which moved his sister to tears.
After school starts, as usual, Caodi Middle School will have the dreaded "opening test".
This time, He Sanhua, who was known for her poor writing skills, turned the tables and wrote an essay titled "The Most Meaningful Thing". This moved our homeroom teacher, Mr. Ouyang, so much that his eyes were filled with tears. Mr. Ouyang specially asked He Sanhua to read this essay aloud in class, which received full marks.
The first exam of the new semester, the topic of the Chinese composition test, was to write about the most meaningful thing that happened during the summer vacation.
Teacher Ouyang remembers very clearly that when He Sanhua was in the first grade of junior high school, she wrote about helping to weed the several acres of corn fields at home. She wrote 500 words just to list the names and appearances of various weeds, as well as the harm they caused to the corn fields!
Teacher Ouyang was so angry that he added a sentence at the end with a red pen: It is strictly forbidden to use content that is irrelevant to the topic to make up the word count!
When she was in the second grade of junior high school, He Sanhua wrote about helping her family collect and sell vegetables. This time, she used more than 500 words to introduce in detail what kinds of vegetables her family planted, what they looked like, how to eat them, and how much they could be sold for...
Teacher Ouyang was so angry that he wrote a comment at the end of this paragraph with a thicker red pen: If you like growing vegetables so much, why don’t you stop going to school and go home to grow vegetables!!!
This time, Teacher Ouyang was mentally prepared and planned to carefully observe what vegetables He Sanhua's family sold this summer.
Unexpectedly, He Sanhua seemed to suddenly get enlightened on writing essays, which gave him a huge surprise!
In the composition, He Sanhua wrote about her elder sister, who almost married a notorious criminal because of the matchmaker's deception. She also criticized the rural custom of "blind marriage" as a victim's family member, and strongly condemned the malicious deception of the matchmaker in the countryside.
Then, the author wrote about the efforts made by the whole family to help the eldest sister find a good husband:
My parents used the excuse of going to the countryside to collect vegetable seeds, rode their bicycles for several miles, and quietly went to the village of my "future brother-in-law" to find out what my eldest sister's future in-laws were like, whether they were easy to get along with, and whether my future brother-in-law had any bad habits, or had any unclear relationships with other girls in the village.
She, her second sister, and her younger brother worked hard to earn money and secretly saved up a lot of dowry for her eldest sister.
Finally, she did not forget to get to the point: she felt that the most meaningful thing in the world was not how great her achievements were, but to make her family live a better life through her own efforts.
No one expected that in this year's preliminary exam for Class 1 of Grade 9, apart from Jiang Tian, only He Sanhua got a perfect score for the composition!
