Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 256: World of Ages 8: Dowry

Zuo Aiguo was very dissatisfied, but no further action was possible now, so he had to give up.

At this time, we can only be thankful that Director Zhang has not yet made a final decision. Although he has this idea, the two sides have only briefly explained it to each other, and no one else is aware of it.

Therefore, even if Director Zhang wanted to use some tricks on himself, he couldn't be too open about it.

But I’m afraid my life in the factory will be even more difficult from now on!

Just to avoid any further complications, Zuo Aiguo quietly informed Director Zhang: "My sister has found a boyfriend, and they might be having a wedding banquet soon. If Director Zhang doesn't mind, please come over for a drink!"

Director Zhang immediately understood what he meant when he heard it. It was just that the other party had taken the initiative to get involved. He hadn't even taken care of his own child and was looking for trouble like this.

Fortunately, nothing has been said now. If this matter is exposed, wouldn’t it be considered that he is forcing another girl to marry him?

Factory Director Zhang said coldly, "No, I'm very busy and don't have the time. I'm glad you're willing to do this. After all, you're just a temporary worker and the factory can fire you at any time, so you still have to do your job well!"

Zuo Aiguo could only nod quickly: "Thank you Director Zhang for your guidance, I will definitely work harder!"

Director Zhang didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore and waved him away.

After Zuo Aiguo left, he slammed his hands hard on the wall next to him, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with this matter!

But Zuo Zhizhi already has a partner, so the previous plan will definitely not work. Otherwise, if other people find out, the whole family will be in trouble!

Since returning home that day, Zuo Aiguo has been constantly talking to Xie Hehua about the betrothal gift.

After all, the formal job that was promised before is now basically impossible, so the betrothal gift and wedding house are absolutely indispensable!

He has been dating his girlfriend for a while and has a very good impression of her. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up at this time.

The most important thing is that any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism. You must know that Feng Duoduo's family is not easy to mess with. What if they seize this matter to sue him, then won't he have to eat peanuts?

Xie Hehua also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she could only admonish Zuo Aiguo: "Even if you are dating, you must be careful about the limits. Otherwise, if you are accused of hooliganism, it will be very serious!"

Zuo Aiguo nodded quickly: "Mom, don't worry. We've been dating for such a long time, we're definitely going to get married. But what about the betrothal gift they're asking for?"

Xie Hehua gritted her teeth, gave Zuo Aiguo a blank look, and decided to wait for a while.

The other party’s daughter’s conditions are not that good. She just has an ordinary city hukou and doesn’t have a job now.

Although I haven’t received any notice to go to the countryside yet, who knows when there will be changes!

You know, my son is a worker. Although he is just a temporary worker, when he has to go to the countryside, he will be very popular!

Xie Hehua had a good idea. After all, in the past two years, there had been propaganda every year to let urban youth go to the countryside to serve as educated youth. What if if they waited any longer, it would be the time for Feng Duoduo to leave?

By that time, she was either going to or staying in the capital to see her son, so naturally she didn't have the courage to continue to manipulate him.

The whole family was anxious and angry, but Xie Hehua seemed relaxed, as if she didn't take the matter seriously.

With Xie Hehua's advice, Zuo Aiguo gradually understood what she meant.

Although he and Feng Duoduo had a good relationship, the 100 yuan and numerous betrothal gifts that the other party asked for were really too much.

My family’s conditions are limited, so it’s not easy to come up with the money!

In addition, there are indeed many people going to the countryside recently, so there is a great possibility that this matter can be accomplished!

Sure enough, after Zuo Aiguo calmed down, Feng Duoduo started to get anxious.

What she always told her family was that she wanted to find a good husband so that she could help her younger brother.

But the actual reason was that she had no intention of going to the countryside. The tragic experiences of her neighbors who had gone to the countryside were still vivid in her mind. The thought of such a life made her scalp tingle.

Therefore, the top priority is to find a partner in the city. As long as you get married, you will not be forced to go to the countryside.

But even though they said that, their parents didn't agree. There was only one reason for that: maybe marrying into the countryside would get a higher bride price.

You have to know that she is a high school student and a cultured person. Compared with the country folk, she is definitely someone they can't reach.

Therefore, as long as you find a decent family to marry into, your parents can get a large sum of betrothal gifts.

Although Feng Duoduo was extremely reluctant in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she asked very considerately, "Mom, what kind of place is that in the countryside? We rely on the weather for food all year round, and our whole family can't even save 10 yuan! How can a place like that possibly offer a high bride price?"

"If we really want to talk about the betrothal gift, you have to be from the city and have your own salary. It's easy to save up for the betrothal gift! Otherwise, if you marry into the countryside, you really have no means at all. When our Dazhuang gets married in the future, I won't be able to help him at all!"

It's true, Feng's parents were really persuaded by Feng Duoduo, so they were willing to let her find a partner in the city.

Otherwise, how could she go out on dates with Zuo Aiguo every day? If she had that much time, she would definitely be blocked at home by her family. It would be great for her to help with housework or do handicrafts to earn money!

Now Feng Duoduo also realized that Zuo Aiguo was planning to cool down, after all, he had proposed a lot.

She gritted her teeth and couldn't believe how miserable her life was. She had thought that both parents in this family were working, and he himself had a job. If nothing else, 100 yuan should be easy for him!

Who knew that this family was barely making ends meet, which almost made his plan go to waste!

After thinking about it, Feng Duoduo took the initiative to find Zuo Aiguo and said, "Aiguo, my mom is urging me again. What should I do?"

Feng Aiguo was about to coax her when he remembered his mother's instructions. He could only shake his head and said, "Duoduo, wait a little longer. After all, I really can't take out this 100 yuan. But don't worry, my mother has already agreed. My salary will allow me to save money. It won't be long before I can get all these things!"

Feng Duoduo looked at Zuo Aiguo's face, and for a moment he was not sure whether the other party said that on purpose or if that was indeed the case.

After all, whose son has to rely on himself to save up the betrothal gift for his marriage? Shouldn’t the parents do it?

But since the other party said so, she naturally couldn't continue to force him, otherwise even the fish would run away, and then she would really be forced to go to the countryside!
