Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Chapter 330: Poverty and perfunctoriness are two different things

Ma Daya felt unwell all over and couldn't go to work, so she took a few days off and rested at home.

She refused Zhou Rong's gift, saying, "With Aunt Rong's help, the three of us siblings were able to settle down in the city. Without you, we would have to return to our hometown. In this disaster period, we would have starved to death long ago.

Saving Nini is my own choice, I cannot take your things."

Zhou Rong: "I'm helping you, it's just a matter of convenience, but you risked your life to save my child. It's just some food, just accept it. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come to me if I can help."

Ma Daya pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Rong, you have a lot of experience and have met many people. I want to ask you for advice on something."

Zhou Rong: "You say."

Ma Daya: "Erya is 18 now. Many people have introduced her to potential partners before, but none of them worked out. Some people disliked us for not having parents, while others said my family was burdened with too much.

Because when Huzi gets married, Erya and I, as the older sisters, will definitely help out. They feel that if they marry Erya, they will have a uncle, which is too much pressure.

Some people also said that the three of us siblings had hard luck and were unlucky with our relatives. They were afraid that if we married Erya, it would bring disaster to our family. For various reasons, Erya's marriage was delayed.

Not long ago, a lady in our Chang'an introduced her nephew to Erya. Erya and I went to meet that person yesterday, and the other party said straight away that he didn't mind my family's situation.

But now that disasters have hit every place, his family's conditions are not as good as before. If Erya is willing to be with him, she can just go and get the marriage certificate and then move to his house to live.

When his family's life gets better, he will buy new clothes for Erya and make furniture for her. When Huzi gets married, he will also provide some financial support if he is able.

He was very sincere when he said it, but I just felt uneasy. I always felt that this matter was a little unreliable. What if his family was always in trouble, wouldn't Erya be given to their family for nothing?

I'm not greedy for the bride price, I just want to get some benefits for Erya. I will let her take away anything the man gives. If she has nothing, she will definitely be looked down upon when she goes to her husband's family.

She has suffered a lot since she was a child. I hope she can marry into a good family and live a happy life. "

Zhou Rong: "It's a blessing for Erya to have a sister like you. Have you ever been to that gay man's house?"

Ma Daya: "I didn't go in to see, I just quietly asked someone about his family's situation and then peeked in from a distance.

There are five brothers and sisters in his family, and he is the fourth child. His older brother and two older sisters are all married, and his youngest brother is in high school.

My father and brother both work at the lumber mill as regular employees, but my mother and sister-in-law are unemployed. He works as a temporary worker at a machinery factory and is said to be able to become a regular employee next year. The five-room blue brick house they live in is their own.

Zhou Rong: "According to what you said, their family conditions should be good, after all, there are three people earning salaries.

Although disasters hit various places, the sawmills and machinery factories did not stop operating, and wages were paid as usual every month, so their family was able to afford to marry a wife.

If someone wants to marry Arya without spending a penny now, it means either their family is hiding something and their family assets have been drained, or they think Arya is not worth their effort.

You can learn more about this family so that Erya won’t be wronged after marrying into their family.

Their family can be poor, but they cannot be calculating or perfunctory. Being poor and being perfunctory are two different things. "

Ma Daya: "I understand. Thank you Aunt Rong."

Zhou Rong: "You're welcome. You're already 20 years old, and you've been worrying about your brothers and sisters. Don't you think about your own life?"

Ma Daya smiled and said: "What's the good of getting married? You have to bear children for your husband's family, work like a slave, and you may not even get a good word in return.

I haven't met my "ideal husband" these years, so I'll just live like this for now. When Erya and Huzi get married, I'll rent a house and live my own life.

I have a job. As long as I can be thick-skinned and not care about other people's gossip, I should be able to lead a comfortable life."

Zhou Rong: "Marriage is our only chance to choose our family. If you haven't met the right person, don't rush into marriage. If you rush into marriage, you will most likely become an unfortunate person.

We don’t rely on others, we have the capital to be self-reliant, and we can bravely fight for the life we ​​want.”

Ma Daya nodded heavily: "What Aunt Rong said is exactly what I think!"

Today is Sunday, and Hu Zi is resting at home. Under the discipline of Ma Daya and Ma Erya, he has been well behaved in recent years. He has already gone to junior high school with decent grades. He plans to take the technical secondary school entrance exam after graduation and go to work as soon as possible to reduce the burden on his two sisters.

When Hu Zi saw Zhou Rong coming, he poured her a glass of water and asked her to stay for dinner.

Zhou Rong: "No, I'll go back to my house to eat, you take good care of your sister."

Hu Zi: "I will. I will cook some shredded pork noodles for her later."

Zhou Rong: “Yeah.”

After being beaten by Zhou Rong, Li Dajun was very dissatisfied and demanded that the police severely punish Zhou Rong.

The police said that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Rong's approach and asked Li Dajun to tell the truth about the crime and his accomplices, otherwise they would torture him.

Li Dajun didn't want to be beaten and also wanted to reduce his sentence, so he pushed everything onto Old Lady Liu, saying that it was all her instructions and that he was only responsible for taking Nini to the agreed place to gather.

When Li Dajun was surrounded by Ma Daya and others, Old Lady Liu saw it not far away. Realizing that the situation was not right, she immediately ran back to Zhang Cui's house and hid.

When the police came to arrest people, Old Lady Liu started to pretend to be sick, saying that she had a terminal illness and that she would die in front of anyone who dared to touch her, and her two sons would definitely avenge her.

The police were not afraid of her threats and forcibly took the man away.

When they arrived at the police station, Old Lady Liu became completely depressed. She cried and shouted that she was wronged and that she did not kidnap Nini. She also said that she was negotiating marriage with Zhou Rong and they would soon be a family. Nini was her granddaughter and she missed her granddaughter, so she asked Li Dajun to take Nini to see her.

The police called Zhou Rong to verify the situation.

Zhou Rong said that no one went to her house to propose marriage, and she did not know Old Lady Liu and her son. All criminals are best at disguising and sophistry. Zhou Rong hoped that the police would severely punish Old Lady Liu and Li Dajun.

In order to collect more evidence, Li Xiaojun was also taken to the Public Security Bureau for questioning. Only then did he realize that his elder brother and mother had caused a big trouble.

Not wanting to be implicated, Li Xiaojun wrote a letter of severance without hesitation and published it in the newspaper.

When Mrs. Liu learned that Li Xiaojun wanted to break up with her, she fainted. Under interrogation by the police, she truthfully confessed what had happened.

In the end, Li Dajun was sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping and sent to a quarry to serve his sentence.

As an accomplice, Mrs. Liu was old and in poor health. The police handled the case at their discretion and sentenced her to three years in prison and sent her to a farm for reform.

The police confiscated the twenty or so yuan they had on them. After paying for the medical expenses Zhou Rong had paid, the rest was confiscated...

Li Dajun has two daughters and one son. The oldest daughter is 14 years old and the youngest son is 9 years old. Li Xiaojun forcibly sent them back to the countryside and asked them to fend for themselves.
