Chapter 1458: Honest Woman 41
There was not even a quilt as a dowry.
The ladies' watch, radio and bicycle he bought for his wife were all kept by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who said they were for his brother-in-law to use when he got married.
His brother-in-law is already dating someone.
I spent a few hundred dollars to marry someone, but she didn't give me any dowry.
When his sister got married, he gave her the quilt she had slept on since she was a child. But his wife is not even as good as his sister when she got married.
Moreover, his sister only had 60 yuan for the betrothal gift and no betrothal gifts.
Shi Xiangdong felt sad when he thought about all those things and money that were embezzled by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Yuanchun raised her eyebrows. "Didn't you say you wanted to sell your job? If you sell your job, you two will have enough money to go to the provincial capital. Since you don't have much capital, you can buy less goods first. When you make money and have more capital, you can buy more goods."
"If you don't want to go to the provincial capital, you can also go to the countryside to collect some eggs, dried vegetables and dried fruits to sell, but this is more hard work. Going to the countryside to collect things, you have to get up early and work in the dark."
Shi Xiangdong said, "I am not afraid of hard work. As long as I can make money, it is worth it."
If you are afraid of hardship, you cannot be a miner.
The hardest job for workers is mining.
He had been working for several years and had suffered a lot, but in order to make money and to be able to marry a wife, he still gritted his teeth and continued to work.
He never complained about the hardship.
Yuanchun knew that her two brothers were indeed people who could endure hardships.
In fact, her two brothers were very good to her. Apart from ordering her to do things, if she was bullied at school, her two brothers would beat each other up.
After the students in the school knew that she had two brothers to support her, no one dared to bully her anymore.
It's just that the two older brothers are too burdened by the patriarchal mentality and the preference for boys over girls. They never do housework at home. When they want something or do something, they always ask the original owner or Shi's mother to order them around.
Shi Xiangdong said, "Eggs break easily. If one is broken, we have to sell several for nothing. It's not cost-effective."
"I still want to accompany your sister-in-law to the provincial capital to wholesale clothes and sell them here. Your sister-in-law said that there is a large clothing factory in the provincial capital and that some people have opened stores to sell clothes in the county town. But I checked these two days and there are only two stores. There are many people buying clothes and the business is booming."
"Okay, since you want to sell clothes, then sell them."
Yuanchun thought about it and decided to borrow some money. "I sold my job and bought this house with 200 yuan left. If you need it, I can lend it to you first, but you must pay it back and write me an IOU."
Yuanchun didn't disbelieve in Shi Xiangdong, she didn't believe in her father and mother.
Once Shi's father and mother knew that she lent money to Shi Xiangdong, they would definitely not let Shi Xiangdong pay it back. If Shi Xiangdong paid it back, they might even try to stop him in various ways.
"Also, you can't let my parents know that I lent you money."
Shi Xiangdong nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll write you an IOU, and I promise not to tell Dad and Mom."
"Sister, don't worry. I will definitely pay you back. You are a woman raising a child and you don't have a job. Your life is not easy. Although I am not a good brother, I can't do such a thing as delaying the payment when I know you and your niece are starving."
"You are my only sister, and I want you to live a good life."
Ten minutes later, Shi Xiangdong happily walked out of Shuangshi Hutong with two hundred yuan in his hand.
Three days later, Shi Xiangdong sold his job and took another 100 yuan from Shi's mother. The couple ran to the provincial capital with the large sum of money.
