I became an abandoned girl in the 1980s, and my poor parents read my mind and became rich

Chapter 108: Generous Dowry, Someone Snatched the Shop to Rent

Moreover, her elder brother and sister-in-law did not let her share the expenses of the store.

Over the past year, she has saved about a thousand yuan.

In addition, her eldest brother and sister-in-law also gave her 200 yuan as a dowry.

The women in the production team generally received only two or three hundred yuan as dowry.

"Dad, my eldest brother and his wife have already given it to me." Jiang Meihua waved her hands and refused to accept it.

But Uncle Jiang insisted, "Those are your eldest brother and his wife, and this belongs to my parents. Take it quickly."

Jiang Meihua also discovered that relatives were also looking at them.

If she didn't accept it, she thought these relatives would gossip about her mother, but she didn't want to say anything about her father.

Jiang Meihua nodded, "Thank you, Dad."

Before I could thank Aunt Jiang, her eyelids kept rolling up.

"Meihua, how much dowry do you have?" Aunt Jiang's eldest sister asked with a smile.

According to custom, on the wedding day people would ask about the dowry and betrothal gifts.

The betrothal gift had been delivered a long time ago, it was eight hundred yuan, more than twice what other families gave.

The amount of the dowry was still unknown, and the relatives all stretched their necks to look at Jiang Meihua.

Jiang Meihua was carrying a small red leather bag, which was filled with her dowry and red envelopes.

She blushed, "Not much."

"How much is a little?" the relatives asked again with a smile.

They knew that Aunt Jiang only liked Jiang Meizhi, who was the most like her. All the family income was given to Jiang Meizhi. She usually ignored Jiang Meihua. The red envelope sent by Uncle Jiang today was probably not much.

"Meihua, tell the truth, this is the custom." Liu Xihua said with a smile.

Jiang Meizhi looked at her and nodded, "I have 1,600 yuan. My sister-in-law gave me 200 yuan, and my father gave me 200 yuan. Now it's 2,000 yuan for the dowry."

two thousand?

When everyone heard this number, they took a deep breath.

This is marrying with a building. Today, a family in the production team built a building, and it only cost 2,000 yuan.

When Aunt Jiang heard this number, she became furious.

The second daughter actually saved so much money without telling her? And didn't give her a penny?

It's too much!

But today was a festive day, so she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only hold her anger.

While drinking tea and waiting for the Tai family to come and welcome the bride, the relatives started talking about family matters.

Someone asked whether Jiang Daguo’s shop had been rented out.

Jiang Daguo smiled awkwardly and was about to say that it was still being rented when someone asked at the door, "Excuse me, has the shop next door been rented out?"

Jiang Daguo was overjoyed. Speaking of the shop, someone asked about the shop?

"Not yet." Jiang Daguo waved to the man and hurried outside.

He was happy, but also had a headache. Why was he asking about the shop at this time?

The auspicious time is approaching.

He was about to mention the price when he heard a burst of firecrackers in front of him, followed by the sound of sky rockets.

The relatives sitting in the room stood up together, "Someone from the Tai family is here?"

But there was no wedding procession in sight, for it was not yet ten o'clock.

"Where are those firecrackers?" Jiang Meilan stood on tiptoe and looked ahead. After a moment, she said in surprise, "What are they going to do over there? Ah, building a school?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao climbed onto the chair and looked up.

The construction of a school has finally started on the wasteland opposite.

Jiang Daguo remembered Jiang Xiaoxiao's reminder that a school would be built across the street by the end of the year. It turned out that construction started today.

"Boss, is your shop still available for rent?" the shop owner asked again.

Jiang Xiaoxiao ran over and pulled Jiang Daguo's sleeve, "Dad——"

She shouted, frowning, "Once the school is built, all the shops around here will have to raise their prices, so we have to raise ours too."
