Chapter 193 She knew that the Cao family was not a good place to go
Miss Wang called out to the sisters, saying that Zhou Rong was looking for a house, and everyone took action immediately, spreading the word among their own circles to inquire.
As soon as Zhou Rong finished dinner, Miss Wang came to her and said that six rooms had been found and that people could go and see them and move in at any time. The rent ranged from 3 cents to 5 cents, depending on the size of the house.
Zhou Rong took Shen Xiaomei and Zhou's mother to see the house. Every room was very clean and the three of them were very satisfied.
Zhou Rong asked Shen Xiaomei to tell Sun Hong and the others about the situation in a letter, and let them decide whether to go to the city now and which house to rent...
After receiving Shen Xiaomei's letter, Sun Hong and her family were overjoyed. After settling their home, they packed their luggage and took their children to the city.
The folks of Zhoujiawan were envious again.
To thank Zhou Rong, every family brought her some local specialties, including chickens, eggs, wild vegetables, cured meat, etc.
Sun Hong and her family were very satisfied with the house that Zhou Rong helped find. Families with many children can rent a larger house, and families with fewer children can rent a smaller one.
Everyone knows how to do manual work, so they can help process scraps of cloth first, and then make plans when other options become available in the future.
Zhou Rong said it was no problem. After the "Leap Forward", the economy suffered a setback and there were three years of disasters. People's consumption level dropped sharply. Head flowers, dolls, etc. were considered "luxury items" at that time. They were far less practical than a meal, and the demand would drop sharply.
Zhou Rong did not plan to process scraps of cloth for a long time, he just wanted everyone to make some spare money.
If you want to settle down in the city and avoid going to the countryside, you still need a stable job.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be several large factories that will start construction this year. If we think of a way, we should be able to get some recruitment quotas by then...
Sun Hong and his friends all moved to the city. It was inconvenient to apply for grain purchase certificates and buy grain using one big account, so after discussion, they decided to separate the accounts.
Zhou Jiafeng and his friends asked their work unit to issue them a certificate of employment, and with the residence certificate from the neighborhood committee provided by Tao Fen, the separation of households went smoothly without any extra cost.
The children also go to school to attend classes.
Everyone gradually integrates into city life...
March 56, 3 was the day Yang Yaodi got married.
During the Chinese New Year, she searched for him on the other side of the river for several days, but she didn't run into Gu Bingqin or see Zhou Rong, and she was sad for a long time.
On the Lantern Festival, Yang Jinlin went to his parents' house for dinner.
Yang Yaodi rekindled her hope and wanted Yang Jinlin to help her find someone, but she didn't even know the other person's name. She only said that he was a very tall and handsome man, and that person was the husband she wanted.
Yang Jinlin thought she was crazy and almost sent her to a mental hospital.
Mrs. Fang also laughed at Yang Yaodi for being crazy about men. After the Lantern Festival, she went to the Cao family to discuss the wedding date.
The Cao family was flattered by the boasting of Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang, and wanted to establish a relationship with Yang Jinlin as soon as possible, so they set the wedding date on March 3.
The Cao family delivered all the betrothal gifts that Mrs. Fang asked for.
Mrs. Fang and Yang Kaiyun were so happy that they were delighted for several days.
Yang Yaodi said that she did not want to marry into the Cao family, but her resistance was useless. Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang not only scolded her, but also locked her up at home and did not allow her to go out, for fear that she would run away secretly.
Because of Yang Yaodi's job, Mrs. Fang originally wanted to ask for a month-long vacation, but the restaurant did not approve it, saying that everyone in the store was assigned their own job, and if Yang Yaodi did not go to work, no one would do her job.
If you insist on taking a long vacation, I can only fire you and the store will hire someone else.
Mrs. Fang thought that her son could find a job for Yang Yaodi that paid 10 yuan a month in a few minutes, so she asked the restaurant to settle the unpaid wages and her daughter would not come to work anymore.
It was not until the wages were settled that Mrs. Fang found out that Yang Yaodi's salary had increased, but he had kept it a secret from his family. She was so angry that she beat Yang Yaodi up when she got home and demanded that he hand over the salary he had hidden.
Yang Yaodi said that she had spent all the money, but Mrs. Fang didn't believe it. She took off her clothes one by one and checked them. She found 2 yuan in the pocket of her underwear.
Mrs. Fang was so angry that she beat Yang Yaodi again, saying that Yang Yaodi dared to spend money recklessly and deserved to be punished.
Yang Yaodi cried loudly after being beaten, but no one in the family came to her aid until Granny Fang got tired of beating her.
Mother Fang put her hands on her waist and gnashed her teeth as she said, "If it weren't for the fact that you're getting married soon, I would have skinned you alive! How dare you hide money? You must be tired of living! Stay home and don't be shy. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll beat you to death!"
Yang Yaodi didn't want to be beaten, so she had to stay at home and wait to get married...
On March 3, Cao Zhi took Yang Yaodi to get a marriage certificate.
When the people from the Civil Affairs Department asked Yang Yaodi whether she was willing to marry Cao Zhi, she did not respond for a long time.
Cao Zhi threatened in a low voice: "If you regret the marriage, you must return the betrothal gifts my family sent you in full and compensate my family for the losses, otherwise we will go to your house and your second brother's workplace to make trouble."
After hearing this, Yang Yaodi nodded obediently and told the comrades in the Civil Affairs Section that she was willing to marry Cao Zhi.
The betrothal gift has gone into her parents' pockets and there is no reason to return it. If she dares not to marry, she will be beaten to death.
If I run away, where can I go?
If I go to Cao's house and act pitiful, I should be able to live a stable life, right?
The Yang family has no other relatives in the city, and wanted to take this opportunity to invite the Feng family to attend to save face. This was also the request of the Cao family. They said that they had not met the district chief yet, and if they could meet District Chief Feng on the wedding day, their life would be worth it, and it would not be in vain for them to pay so much for the betrothal gift.
Yang Jinlin didn't dare to ask anyone himself, so he asked Feng Qiaolan to persuade her parents.
Feng Qiaolan brought it up when she got home, but after being rejected by Li Guizhi, she said nothing more.
Yang Yaodi's wedding day was a Wednesday. Wang Tiesheng and Wang Xinping had to go to school, so only Feng Qiaolan, Sini and Yang Jinlin attended the wedding.
Yang Yaodi's wedding at the Yang family was very simple. He kowtowed three times to Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang. Yang Jinsen set off a string of firecrackers at the door, and that was it.
Mother Fang only gave Yang Yaodi a new set of clothes. She did not take away the betrothal gifts sent by the Cao family, nor did she give her any money for a safe deposit.
When Cao Zhi went to pick up the bride, he saw that only Yang Yao, who was naked, was following him, and none of the important figures of the Feng family showed up. He felt very unhappy.
But on such a happy day, he did not have an outburst and planned to let his mother handle the matter when he got home.
The Cao family set up several tables of wine. Cao's mother Kong Furong didn't want to lose face in front of relatives, so after listening to Cao Zhi's report, she said nothing.
After seeing off the relatives and friends, Kong Furong called Yang Yaodi to her room and said bluntly: "From today on, you are a member of our Cao family. You must be loyal to the Cao family. Only when the Cao family is doing well can you live a good life. Do you understand?"
Yang Yaodi nodded gently and whispered, "I understand."
Kong Furong: "Xiaozhi is the eldest son, and he has great responsibilities. Now that he has started a family, he cannot ignore his younger brothers and sisters. The betrothal gifts your family wants were raised by us by borrowing from all the relatives. Since you are marrying into the Cao family, you have to pay back the money together.
From today on, all your wages will be handed over to me for safekeeping and management. We need to pay off our family debts as soon as possible, otherwise our relatives will laugh at us and it will be difficult to borrow money in the future."
When Yang Yaodi heard this, she felt cold in her heart. She knew that the Cao family was not a good place to belong.
On the first day of marriage, I have to hand over my salary and help pay off debts. Is there any hope in this life?
