Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 257: World of Ages 9: Settled

Feng Duoduo wiped his eyes and said, "I don't care about money, I only care about you! I've been at home for so long now, and my parents have long since started to dislike me for being a freeloader. If we don't make any progress, they'll probably start to think of something bad!"

Feng Duoduo burst into tears immediately after she finished speaking.

On the one hand, I cried about my miserable life, and on the other hand, I felt wronged for myself during this period of time.

Zuo Aiguo immediately sensed something was wrong. What did he mean by "evil thoughts"? Could it be that, as his mother had said, the other party was planning to sue him for hooliganism?

You have to know that they have been dating for several months. Although they haven't taken the next step, they have held hands and even kissed her secretly.

Although she didn't care at all at the time, she didn't know what would happen if this matter was reported!

Zuo Aiguo quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. I can't help it. Don't worry, I will definitely marry you!"

Feng Duoduo felt relieved after hearing this: "Then I'll go back and talk to my parents and see if they can reduce these conditions. At worst, before we get married, I'll go out to work and give them all my money!"

Zuo Aiguo was immediately moved when he heard this. Just as he was about to pull Feng Duoduo into his arms, he remembered what had just happened and had to stop himself.

"Thank you so much, I know you are doing this for our own good!"

The two of them parted reluctantly, each with their own thoughts.

Zuo Aiguo returned home and quickly told Xie Hehua what happened today, wanting her to analyze what was going on!

Xie Hehua immediately understood their intentions: "What else can they do? They're just afraid that your wealthy son-in-law will run away! You know, it's already hard to get a job these days, so why would they be so picky?"

Zuo Aiguo was still a little worried: "But what if they go to the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint..."

Xie Hehua rolled her eyes at him. She had never met such a stupid person. "There are so many people dating in this world. Are you going to sue them all for being a hooligan? Besides, it's not like you don't want to marry her. It's just that our family can't meet their requirements right now, so we can only wait and see. But if they can't bear it anymore, they will marry me naturally!"

Zuo Aiguo felt much more relieved. As long as he wouldn't get shot, it wouldn't be a problem to wait for a while!

Anyway, my house is very crowded now and there is no place to get married, so I have to wait for a while.

Therefore, this short period of time is really nothing in his eyes!

On the other hand, Feng Duoduo only started to talk to his parents after he had prepared himself mentally.

"My parents, Zuo Aiguo, have already said that their family can't afford so many things."

Hearing Feng Duoduo's words, Feng's parents looked incredulous: "You can't come up with it. I think no one wants you, a money-loser. After all, they are a dual-income family. Zuo Aiguo also has his own job. There are six people in the family and three jobs. How can they be without money?"

When Feng Duoduo was dating the other party, they had already thoroughly investigated the Zuo family.

You have to know that having three jobs in one family, although it is not the best, it is definitely a respectable person.

Although their family wants a lot of things, isn't this for Dazhuang to marry? Moreover, as an older sister, Feng Duoduo also has the obligation to prepare these things for her younger brother.

Feng Duoduo knew from his parents' behavior that they didn't take him seriously at all, so he could only helplessly explain to them: "Patriotic work is bought with money, and this has already emptied out most of their family savings! And part of this is for his sister's wedding gift! Now if they want to save up enough for this 100 yuan gift, they can only save slowly. By then, I will be an old maid and no one will want me!"

Feng's father and mother looked at each other. Although they were a little unconvinced, they still spoke hesitantly: "But they have three workers..."

"It's true that they have three workers in their family, but apart from Aiguo's father who is a regular employee, Aiguo's mother and he himself are just temporary workers, making only about 10 yuan a month. With the children growing up, there are so many things to spend money on at home. How can we save any money?"

In fact, Feng Duoduo was not quite sure, but now he had to deceive his parents, so he had to say it as miserable as possible!

Feng's father and mother looked at each other and were still a little dissatisfied. After all, they only had one daughter. If they didn't want a large betrothal gift, what would happen to the child when she got married in the future?

Feng Duoduo naturally knew where the problem lay, so he spoke without hesitation, "Their family is almost separated now. Aiguo has been keeping all his salary for himself, saying that he's saving for the betrothal gift. Although his parents haven't asked for any more money, our expenses are quite high right now, so it will probably take a long time!"

"It's not good for me to eat plain rice at home every day, but I'm not married and can't go to their house for dinner. Even if I want to find someone else, those with better conditions will not be interested in me. Being patriotic is the best choice!"

Feng Duoduo said it very clearly that every day she stayed at home longer would mean she could eat more food at home, and she could save the money after she got married.

Secondly, if Zuo Aiguo kept his money, wouldn't it belong to the couple after they got married? By then, even if she wanted to take money from home, it wouldn't be impossible. After all, as long as she had Zuo Aiguo under her control, everything would be fine.

The most important thing is that this is the best choice for their family. Even if there are better conditions, she cannot take them. Therefore, she must tie Zuo Aiguo tightly and not let him run away.

After some discussion, the final requirements were finally decided.

The betrothal gift was 100 yuan, plus some miscellaneous small items. As for the large item, the sewing machine, it was finally removed.

When Zuo Aiguo heard the news, he hurried home to discuss it with Xie Hehua.

After all, a sewing machine requires a plane ticket and enough money, and the total cost of these two things is definitely not less than 200 yuan.

Now that we have been able to complete this project, we have saved a lot of money.

However, Xie Hehua couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Zuo Aiguo's hopeless look. "Look, this money is saved. Looking at your condition, it's probably impossible to reduce your salary further. Let's find a time to discuss it later!"

Although Xie Hehua was not satisfied with Feng Duoduo as her daughter-in-law, after all, no one would like a daughter-in-law who was devoted to her mother's family.

It’s just that Feng Duoduo is outstanding in appearance, and most importantly, she is a good worker.

Apart from anything else, at least there will be someone to take care of her, and her work at home will be a lot easier.

In the next few days, the family finally decided on the marriage of Zuo Aiguo and Feng Duoduo.
