Chapter 419 Is this woman really stupid, or is she deliberately plotting against him?
Luo Dafen said she wanted to get married quickly and move into her own home, so Diao Sishun asked a dozen villagers to help build the house.
Everyone is an experienced worker and works efficiently. Once the materials arrived, the house was built in less than a week.
As compensation, Diao Sishun gave each of the helpers three yuan and two packs of "Rooster" brand cigarettes.
These were all requested by Luo Dafen. They didn't have enough tickets to buy supplies, so they could only give money.
Because Diao Sishun had no savings, the 100 yuan he had "borrowed" before was used to buy bricks and tiles and make furniture. At Luo Dafen's suggestion, he could only "borrow" another 50 yuan from Zhou's mother to pay his salary and buy cigarettes...
After the house was built, Diao Sishun urged Luo Dafen to get married.
Luo Dafen asked Diao Sishun to fulfill his promise and write a document that the child would take the mother's surname, and asked Zhou Chuanjing, Zhou Chuanyi and three old educated youth to sign as witnesses.
Although Diao Sishun was unhappy, the house had been built and he also owed a huge debt of 150 yuan. If he didn't do it, he would lose everything. He could only write a letter of commitment as Luo Dafen asked...
Luo Dafen collected the letter of commitment signed by the witness, and went with Diao Sishun to find Zhou Chuanjing to get a letter of introduction. Afterwards, the two went to the commune to get a marriage certificate.
Luo Dafen didn't want to get a marriage certificate at first, but then she thought that for someone like Diao Sishun with ulterior motives, having a marriage certificate would be more binding on him, and it would also be easier to register the child in the future.
After marriage, if Diao Sishun was dissatisfied with her, the worst that could happen was a divorce.
As long as she has a child, she doesn't care whether she has a man or not...
On the day they received their marriage certificate, Luo Dafen and Diao Sishun held a simple wedding ceremony in their own home.
Luo Dafen invited Zhou Chuanjing, Zhou Chuanyi, Zhou's father and mother and all the educated youth to her home to eat wedding candy.
The two placed their marriage certificate in front of the leader's portrait, bowed three times, recited a passage of instructions, and sang with those present: "The heavens and the earth are not as great as the Party's kindness, and my parents are not as dear as mine..."
Among those who came to attend the ceremony, only Zhou's mother gave three feet of cloth. The others said a few words of congratulations and left after the ceremony.
Diao Sishun was very dissatisfied. When he and Luo Dafen were alone at home, he began to complain: "These people have no manners at all. They came to the wedding empty-handed and ate our candy. It's really outrageous!
Especially your sister, she didn't show any sign of showing any respect when your sister got married, she doesn't act like a real sister at all!"
Luo Dafen was speechless, and heaved a long sigh, saying, "Giving gifts is not allowed now, and even if you give one, you still have to return the gift in the future, you can't just take other people's things for nothing.
It is better for everyone not to give gifts, so that when they have a wedding in the future, we won’t have to return the gifts, so as to avoid embezzling money and not being able to pay it back later.
"Don't always bring up my sister. Didn't you write a letter home and tell them that we were getting married? Why didn't your parents, brothers and sisters say anything? Do they treat you as a family member?"
Diao Sishun choked. When his parents learned that he was going to get married, they made it clear that the family was burdened with heavy responsibilities and had no money to support them. They also blamed him for borrowing money to build a house. If he returned to the city in the future, the house would be given away for free to the villagers of Zhoujiawan.
If he insists on building the house, his family will not acknowledge the debt and he will need to find a way to repay it himself.
His mother also gave him advice in the letter, suggesting that he and Luo Dafen say more sweet words, coax her into bed, and then sleep with her. If he could get pregnant before getting married, not only could he save money on the bride price and building a house, but the woman would also have to pay a large sum of money and beg their family to marry him.
Diao Sishun wanted to do what his mother said, but she didn't give him a chance. She said they didn't want to get married and that they couldn't get too close to each other to avoid people gossiping about them, which would be bad for each other's reputation. She also kept urging him to build a house.
For the sake of his future, he could only agree to all of Luo Dafen's requests...
Diao Sishun didn't want to talk about his family, for fear that Luo Dafen would know what his family thought and be on guard against him in everything.
Diao Sishun rolled his eyes and said, "Da Fen, we are married and we will have children soon. We have to plan for our own family.
Don’t send your salary to the city anymore. Your mother has a job and will definitely have enough money. We should save the money and let our children live a good life.”
Luo Dafen: "No! I wrote to my mother some time ago and told her that we were going to get married, but she disagreed, saying that your family conditions were too poor and you were not worthy of me. Following you would only make me suffer. She also said that when she was no longer busy at work, she would come to Zhoujiawan to settle accounts with you.
People fight for a breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. As human beings, we must have backbone and ambition and not lose our dignity.
The more my mother pessimistic about us, the more we should send her money on time to let her know that even without that money, we can live a good life with our own hands. "
Diao Sishun: "...But we are struggling now, and we still owe Grandma Zhou 150 yuan. If you send all your salary to your mother, how will we live? How will we pay off the debt?!"
Luo Dafen: "I can save 5 yuan every month, which is enough for daily life.
Don't worry about repaying the debt. I gave the team leader a pack of cigarettes and made an agreement with him to transfer the other two educated youth who were shoveling pig manure to clean up chicken manure and cow manure. The pig manure will be left to you from now on. As long as you work hard and don't be lazy, the team leader promises to give you 10 work points every day.
By the end of the year, you will definitely get a lot of money from selling patriotic grain! If we work hard, we should be able to pay back the money we owe to Grandma Zhou within three years."
After hearing this, Diao Sishun almost vomited blood in anger.
Is this woman really stupid, or is she deliberately plotting against him?
How could he be left to shovel pig manure alone? !
What's the point of him fawning on others and making compromises? !
Seeing that Diao Sishun looked unhappy, Luo Dafen hurriedly pulled his hand and said softly, "Are you angry? Do you think my arrangement is not good?
I did this for your face and our future. Don't be angry. When we live a good life, we won't have to work so hard. If you don't want to work, just lie at home."
Diao Sishun: "I really don't want to shovel pig manure. The smell is too bad. How about you do some easy work in the village, and I'll go to school to teach?"
Luo Dafen: "I like teaching, and I like being with children even more. Unless I am about to give birth, I will not leave school."
Diao Sishun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's do this for now. I'm hungry. You go and cook. I'll take a break. Call me when the meal is ready."
Luo Dafen held Diao Sishun's hand and said lovingly, "Sishun, didn't you say you would love me, care for me, and take care of me forever?
I heard people say that women who do too much housework age faster, so you will have to do the laundry and cooking in the future, or we can do it half and half. "
Diao Sishun: "???!!! Let's cook together and share the housework equally from now on."
Luo Dafen: "Okay."
