Chapter 467 Don’t Take the Money
This big fat pig was originally a New Year pig raised by the brigade in the neighboring village. Chen Hao bought it at a high price. Moreover, Chen Hao bought not just one, but three.
We’re setting up a pre-meal feast today, so let’s eat one first.
On the wedding day tomorrow, both ends will be used for the buffet.
Such a luxurious banquet has not appeared in the entire Dongsheng Village in the past ten years.
Old Huang’s house.
Huang Xing was getting married, and all the relatives came.
All the aunts and uncles gathered together, and the house was filled with laughter.
"Look at this wedding dress, it's really exquisitely made. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Of course, this set sells for hundreds of yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"And these jewels, all sent by the man's family: silver bracelets, silver necklaces, and see, there's even a gold ring!"
Several older women gathered together and admired Huang Xing's betrothal gifts.
The things Chen Hao prepared for Huang Xing were definitely considered valuable gifts at the time, and they made Huang's relatives jealous.
"My niece has really good taste. She found a good family. Look at these betrothal gifts. I haven't seen such lavish gifts in the surrounding villages."
"Isn't it? Look at this gold plaque, so big and shiny, so pleasing to the eye."
······
Huang Xing's mother stroked the newly made bright red brocade wedding quilt and said with some emotion:
"My daughter is getting married tomorrow, and I really feel reluctant to let her go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the relatives of the Huang family all laughed.
"Look, this mother can't bear to let go."
"Sister-in-law, if you are reluctant to let Huang Xing marry him, you can let our Erya take his place. We can't even beg for such a good in-law."
"That's right. What girl doesn't want to get married? Huang Xing has found such a good in-law family. She will enjoy a lot of happiness in the future."
If we talk about envy, these relatives of the Huang family are really envious.
When Huang Xing got married, she was given 1000 yuan as a betrothal gift.
In addition to these, the man’s family was very generous and gave an extra 500 yuan for the future brother-in-law to use to get married.
It is really hard to find a husband's family like this one nowadays.
Inside the cabin.
Huang Xing's father, Huang Yanshi, sat in the corner of the kang, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Before Huang Xing got married, Huang Yanshi had hoped to use Huang Xing's betrothal money to marry his son.
It even forced Huang Xing to elope with Chen Hao.
But now, Huang Xing is really getting married, and as a father, he feels a little reluctant.
"When you go to Old Chen's house in the future, you must keep in mind that Chen Hao can be troublesome, so you have to keep an eye on him. If this old man's heart becomes wild, it will not be easy to control him." Huang Yanshi warned.
Huang Xing sat cross-legged on the kang, listening silently.
"Well, I see."
"You don't have to worry. Although Chen Hao is a little wild at heart, he still cares about his family. Besides, Brother Ye is watching over him, so he'll be fine."
"Brother Ye?" Huang Yanshi asked with some confusion.
"It's Lu Ye, the eldest son of the Lu family." Huang Xing explained, "We came to Binjiang to seek refuge with him. He's doing a big business there now."
"is it?"
Huang Yanshi was a little surprised when he heard this.
The Lu family has two sons. The eldest son is not welcomed at home and has never even had a wedding.
It is said that the cruel stepmother Hou Xiaoyun only gave her a tattered quilt.
After that, Hou Xiaoyun often made trouble at home, causing chaos.
In the end, he even forced Lu Ye out of the house.
This matter became the topic of conversation among the whole village after dinner.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ye was so promising. Not only did he go to the provincial capital, but he also made a name for himself.
"What is he doing in Binjiang? Do you plan to go back after you get married to Chen Hao?" Huang Yanshi asked.
In fact, according to Huang Yanshi, it is better for rural people to farm honestly.
Besides, now that the production quota has been assigned to each household, each family has been allocated land. Apart from the public grain they have to pay every year, the rest is all theirs.
Chen Hao and Huang Xing were both strong laborers. With their departure, both the Chen family and the Huang family were short of two able-bodied people.
"We must go back. We can't stop the business over there." Huang Xing said.
Hearing this, Huang Yanshi pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Xing, tell Dad honestly, how much can you earn in a month over there?"
Faced with this question from her father, Huang Xing actually didn't know how to answer.
To be honest, she was worried that with so many relatives at home, someone might have other ideas.
But if she told a lie, not only would it be against her will, but even if she did, people might not believe her.
After all, everyone saw how lavishly Chen Hao held his banquet.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Xing offered a more moderate figure: "About a few hundred yuan."
"What? Hundreds? So many?"
When Huang Yanshi heard that Chen Hao and his team could earn hundreds of yuan a month in Binjiang, he exclaimed in surprise.
What a joke, even if their family worked hard all year round and sold all the food, they still couldn’t earn that much money, but they only made what others made in a month.
"What about you? How much can you earn?" Huang Yanshi asked hurriedly again.
According to Huang Yanshi's idea, since Chen Hao can earn so much every month, Huang Xing will definitely be able to earn some income every month by following him.
Huang Xing must not be allowed to take this money to Old Chen's house.
Hearing this, Huang Xing suddenly became cautious and did not dare to reveal the truth. Instead, he shook his head and said:
"I'm not familiar with Lu Ye, and he didn't assign me any work. I just stay at home cooking and doing laundry for Chen Hao, and I don't get paid."
"I won't give you money?"
When Huang Yanshi heard what Huang Xing said, he immediately became unhappy again.
A girl of my age is just working as a maid for others for nothing.
"Are you stupid? You two are going out together. Chen Hao makes hundreds of dollars a month, and you don't have a cent. How can you do this?"
Huang Yanshi said angrily, "Chen Hao is too tactless. And Lu Ye, how can you do things like that?"
Huang Xing understood what "biological father" meant.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still said, "It's not that I don't have any money at all. I only cook, and Chen Hao gives me 50 yuan every month."
After hearing this, Huang Yanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's pretty much it."
"How much money have you saved in all this time?" Huang Yanshi asked.
"Excluding the money I earn from selling vegetables and the money I spend, I have saved 300 yuan myself," said Huang Xing.
300 yuan is not a small amount.
Huang Yanshi immediately said, "Xing, it wasn't easy for your parents to raise you. Your brother still hasn't found a wife. You know how difficult it is at home."
"You're getting married tomorrow, and then you'll be part of the Chen family. You can leave this money to your family."
Hearing this, Huang Xing shed tears sadly.
"Okay, I'll give this money to my mother later."
