Chapter 148 Preliminary Rounds (3)
Chapter 148 Preliminary Rounds (3)
It's fine to spend money, but Gu Shijiu can't tolerate spending other people's money on top of that.
In the story, how much was the compensation plus the money received at the funeral? Around 20.
Gu Shijiu took out a pen and calculated for a long time: "You owe me 10, so you should pay me back 20, including the principal and interest."
Zhang Guihua didn't expect her daughter to be so particular about these things: "Then we, mother and daughter, have to spend money, right?"
"I'm still a minor, it's only right that you support me."
Gu Shijiu rummaged through drawers and cabinets at home, finding several thousand yuan: "Is this all you have left?"
Zhang Guihua nodded somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Shijiu put the money in his pocket and deducted it from the bill: "We're still short 196,000."
She said she would ignore this completely irresponsible mother and went out to find something to eat.
Sitting in the breakfast shop, Gu Shijiu was eating steamed buns while lost in thought, wondering where he could get some money.
She seems to have never had to worry about money.
Gu Shijiu looked distressed, surprised that she had to shoulder such a heavy economic responsibility at such a young age.
Zhang Guihua, who followed her in, quietly ordered a bowl of porridge and glanced at her daughter.
She has absolutely no idea what Gu Shijiu is thinking.
All eyes turned to Zhang Guihua; she stood out too much in the crowd.
Gu Shijiu pretended not to see and ordered another steamer of xiaolongbao.
She's still young and growing, so she needs to eat more.
Zhang Guihua almost cried from the stares of all the men, but today no one stood up for her and glared back at them.
The comments in the live stream never stopped.
"Haha, this contestant is pretty fierce, look how scared her mom is."
"This mother has a big problem. She's just like the innocent, naive girl I see in TV dramas."
"Why are they still using this old-fashioned script on the contestants?"
"There are plenty of people who like it. Look at the shows on the Weibo charts, aren't many of them like this?"
"Are you going to make money? The whole family only has a few thousand dollars left."
......
Just as Zhang Guihua was trembling with fear and trying to escape, an old man walked in.
Upon seeing him, Zhang Guihua withdrew her previous gaze and a look of fear appeared on her face.
"Guihua, I thought you were at home," Old Zhang said cheerfully.
"Dad, what do you need me for?" Zhang Guihua was clearly not infected by his joyful mood, but rather felt somewhat apprehensive.
"Of course it's a good thing. Come on, let's go outside and talk." Old Zhang pulled Zhang Guihua away.
Gu Shijiu sat in her seat, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Old Zhang had always disliked this grandchild, so he went straight for her and grabbed her arm.
The scalding hot porridge splashed out, almost scalding Gu Shijiu's arm.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed Old Zhang's hand to shield her.
Old Zhang was so angry he jumped up and down: "You little brat, a worthless bastard born of a father but raised without a mother..."
Gu Shijiu frowned as she listened to a string of offensive words; she had never dealt with such a person before.
Unable to win the argument, Zhang Guihua stood aside without helping, so she threw a bowl of scalding hot soy milk at the old man.
"Ouch, it's so hot!" Old Zhang jumped up and down from the burn, and two blisters appeared on his neck.
Gu Shijiu's face darkened, and she looked very intimidating: "If you insult me again, I'll pour it into your mouth."
Beating up elders is utterly rebellious.
Everyone present was stunned. Although Song Jia's daughter was usually gloomy, she only acted towards the adult men in the village.
Because these people are always eyeing Zhang Guihua, this tender young woman.
Song Xiaojun has always treated Zhang Guihua and her family with utmost respect.
Looking at Gu Shijiu's expressionless face, Old Zhang felt a chill creep down his spine and dared not curse any longer. He pushed open the door and walked out.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take Zhang Guihua with him.
Gu Shijiu continued eating her breakfast, indifferent to the stares from those around her.
When I got home, I could hear Old Zhang's loud voice even through the door.
"A few years ago, we asked you to remarry, but you refused. The Wang family is a very good family that you can't find even with a lantern."
The family is willing to give this amount as a bride price, but I'll only take half of it; the rest I'll give you.
Old Zhang made a two with his hand.
What he didn't say was that he received eight thousand in referral fees alone.
The other party also promised to give him another 100,000 yuan after the matter was completed.
With Zhang Guihua's dowry included, Old Man Zhang would receive 200,000 yuan.
As for the remaining 100,000 yuan, as long as Zhang Guihua remains a daughter-in-law in the Chen family, she can eventually squeeze that money out of them.
Gu Shijiu pushed open the door at that moment.
"Junjun, your grandfather wants me to remarry. Do you think that's okay?" Zhang Guihua winked at Gu Shijiu.
She used to be unwilling to get married.
Song Xiaojun takes good care of her at home, and she has money to spend. Why would she be so foolish as to become someone else's wife?
However, she always used Song Xiaojun's words to refuse, saying that her daughter disagreed.
Over time, everyone came to know that Zhang Guihua was unwilling to remarry because of her daughter.
Now her thinking has changed.
Gu Shijiu wasn't going to indulge her. She was almost out of money, so what could she do if she didn't remarry?
Zhang Guihua asked this question only hoping that her daughter would object as usual, so that she could be the good person again.
However, the choice of this person must be made by themselves.
Zhang Guihua knew the Zhang family well; if they could exploit her and sell her for a good price, they wouldn't even blink an eye.
Her youngest brother was getting married and desperately needed her dowry money.
That's why the Zhang family doesn't care who she marries, as long as they give her a lot of money.
But the more money they give, the more suspicious it is; it's like they need to spend so much money to marry a widow with a child.
Zhang Guihua isn't stupid; even if she remarries, she'll find a good family to marry into.
This requires Gu Shijiu's cooperation.
Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu didn't understand the signal she was giving, and even if she had, she wouldn't have paid any attention to it.
"It's up to you. Marry if you want, or don't if you don't." Gu Shijiu tilted her head.
Old Zhang was almost overjoyed, immediately forgetting the burn on his neck: "Yunyun is so sensible."
I said, "Since the child has already agreed, what else is there for you to consider?"
Gu Shijiu glanced sideways at his mouth opening and closing, then quickly moved away to avoid being sprayed with saliva.
Zhang Guihua remained silent, harboring some resentment towards Gu Shijiu.
This child has been acting strangely since last night.
"Then it's settled. The Wang family will come to give the betrothal gifts tomorrow. Get ready and get your marriage certificate with Wang Er."
Old Zhang never thought his daughter would dare to disobey him.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua merely raised her head and stammered, "But Wang Er's first wife was beaten to death..."
"What country man doesn't beat his wife? Wang Er, the one in front of me, is stubborn and ugly."
You're different. Someone's willing to spend three...two hundred thousand to marry you, why would they hit you?
Old Zhang rambled on with words he himself didn't believe, making up a few random promises to Zhang Guihua before leaving.
