Chapter 744 Banggeng is no longer surnamed Jia
When Jia Zhang heard the purpose of Aunt Yi and Sha Zhu's visit, she immediately became excited.
Put the two dollars away first, and then you can make your own conditions later.
The pension left by Lao Jia and Jia Dongxu had long been squandered, and now they have to depend on Li Ping's mood all the time.
Although he had filmed movies and TV series with Han Weimin, he was just a supporting actor and did not have too many roles, so he did not earn much.
Jia Zhang was always fond of delicious food, and given the current situation, supplies were tight and prices had risen a lot, so her little savings had long been used up.
So this is an opportunity that has come to his doorstep, and he can't let it go.
"Old sister, although Qin Huairu is my daughter-in-law, Jia Dongxu is no longer with us. She is almost like my biological daughter now."
"So I have to make the decision for her. All the necessary etiquette must be followed. The betrothal gift also needs to be 68 yuan, mainly for good luck."
"Now that everyone's salary has increased, the bride price has also increased."
"And everything about the wedding will be handled by your family."
"You have seen the situation of our family. We don't have much to give as a dowry."
Aunt Yi's face changed when she heard this. She had thought it would be a natural and simple matter, but it turned out to be so complicated.
This Jia Zhang has no sincerity at all, she is just selling her daughter-in-law.
And the price is very high, almost like robbery.
If the request was twenty or thirty yuan, Sha Zhu wouldn't bother and would just give it to her directly without even asking for Aunt Yi's consent.
But when he heard that Jia Zhang's asking price was exorbitant, Sha Zhu wanted to beat him up.
Sha Zhu couldn't show it openly, so he could only wonder in his heart.
"What the hell is this? Why don't you just go and rob it, you old man?"
"Why don't you just die? You are so old, but you are still so stubborn."
"You took away my husband and son. You are really lucky."
Aunt Yi finally calmed herself down and spoke slowly.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, we should act according to our conscience."
"Over the years, haven't we helped your family enough?"
"Your family has been in trouble so many times, but it was my Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu who helped you through the difficulties."
"Besides, Li Ping is married for the second time and has a child. How can you have the nerve to ask for a dowry?"
"If you find another partner, will you also ask for a dowry?"
Aunt Yi was trying hard to suppress her anger. If it wasn't for Sha Zhu, she wouldn't have been willing to endure this.
The main thing is that what Jia Zhang did was a bit too much. If it was just buying some things, it would be fine, but everyone was just being nice mainly for the two young people.
Even if all arrangements are made by the man's family, that's fine too. There's no need to bother about such things.
It's just a meal, just spend some money.
Jia Zhang’s triangular eyes widened and her nostrils turned up to the sky.
"Old sister, why do you say that so harshly?"
"We are talking about the child now, why are you involving me?"
"I am already old, and I have always been loyal to the Jia family. I have never changed my mind."
"Besides, I asked for 68 yuan, just for good luck."
"If you think it's not suitable, you can bargain. We can discuss it slowly."
"But you want to trick me, your daughter-in-law, into marrying you without spending a penny. That won't work."
"After all, the times are different, and the rules are also different."
"I won't argue with you too much. If 68 doesn't work, 60 is fine. Anyway, it can't be any less. This is my bottom line."
If it weren't for Sha Zhu and Li Ping's face, Aunt Yi would have cursed loudly.
He is simply a scoundrel who can't understand anything human language.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, what did your family give to Li Ping at that time?"
"You were so stingy at the time that you only gave her 10 yuan as a gift, and then you tricked her into marrying you."
"You said you were going to buy washing machines and bicycles for others, but in the end you didn't buy anything."
"You can't even do it yourself, but you ask others to do it in a set way."
It looked like the two of them were about to start arguing, and the atmosphere was totally wrong.
Sha Zhu said hurriedly.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, I will call you Aunt Jia first."
"We should be kind to each other. Tell me, have I ever treated you unfairly when I was working in the cafeteria?"
"Every time I bring something back from the cafeteria, I give most of it to you and keep a little for myself."
"How much of my food have you eaten over the years? Haven't you counted it yourself?"
"I don't want to argue with you too much. 28 yuan is quite auspicious. I'll pay for it, and my parents don't have to pay for it."
"As for the other meals, our family invited us. The gift money we received also belongs to our family. It has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about sharing the money."
"Besides, I am a chef myself, so I don't have to hire a cook."
I didn't expect that Sha Zhu would dare to speak loudly to me, which made my parents very unhappy.
Jia Zhang slammed the table and stood up.
"Silly Zhu, are you really too bold?"
"You're giving 28 dollars to a beggar?"
"If you want to marry me, marry me. If you don't want to marry me, get out of here."
"Who do you think our Li Ping is? It's not that easy."
In order to marry Li Ping, Sha Zhu has swallowed his anger.
Otherwise, with Sha Zhu's ability to talk nonsense, he would have retorted long ago and would not have given Jia Zhangshi a chance to fight back.
"If you don't want to marry me, then don't marry me. Take out the two dollars my mom just gave you."
"We won't give you a dime, do whatever you want."
Sha Zhu suddenly became so tough that everyone looked at him with admiration.
Aunt Yi was also very happy. If Sha Zhu continued to be at a disadvantage, his future would be difficult and she would not be able to save face today.
This Jia Zhang is not a good person. If you give in to her once, she will always find ways to take advantage of you in the future.
Jia Zhang felt a little uncomfortable because Sha Zhu had always been timid and submissive in front of her, trying to please her.
Suddenly, Sha Zhu said these harsh words and asked him for money.
Jia Zhang was unable to react for a moment, but the money was in her pocket and it was impossible to take it out.
Jia Zhang glared with her triangular eyes. This old woman didn't look like a good person at first glance.
"Silly, are you crazy?"
"Li Ping hasn't even married yet, and she's already got angry at me?"
"If you two get married in the future, you will dislike an old woman like me even less."
"Since you don't have this sincerity, then don't even think about getting married."
"Think of these two dollars as a gift from you to me. You can't return them."
Jia Zhang is completely being a rogue.
Li Ping was also speechless. What was originally a simple matter had been turned into a tense situation by Jia Zhang.
Li Ping also felt that Jia Zhang was really too much and had no humanity at all.
Ever since Jia Dongxu was disabled, they have received a lot of help from Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
This is only in terms of material things. Emotionally, Li Ping also got together with Director Yang.
Sha Zhu, on the other hand, has always been thinking about it and has never done anything messy. This is what Li Ping owes to Sha Zhu.
Faced with Jia Zhang's unreasonableness, Li Ping could no longer hold back. Li Ping took out two yuan from her pocket and handed it to Aunt Yi.
"Aunt Yi, I'll give you these two dollars."
“It’s not that I refuse this.”
"But I was supposed to be with Sha Zhu. Now I have my own business to decide for myself."
"When Jia Dongxu was still around, I had already divorced him, so I am single."
"It's just for the sake of the child. After all, Jia Zhang is also my mother-in-law and the child's grandmother. For the sake of the child, we continue to live together."
"Besides, if I don't care about her, she won't be able to live on her own. I have done my best, and I also want to live for myself."
"So I don't want a penny for the bride price. After we get married, I will live with Shazhu."
"If Bang Geng is willing, then he can come live with me. If not, then he can stay here."
"We are all in the same yard anyway, so nothing will be delayed."
"I'll trouble you to take care of the meals. If it's not enough, I can also contribute some myself."
Li Ping's understanding made Aunt Yi feel at ease.
After all, having experienced so many things, Li Ping sees things more clearly and understands the ways of the world.
This way there will be fewer things to do in the future, no more quarrels, and everyone will live happily.
Aunt Yi happily held Li Ping's hand.
"Okay, okay, that's good. This way, everyone will have much less trouble."
"Okay, then let's set a date, say next Saturday, and then we'll treat everyone in the courtyard to a good meal."
"I'll go out and prepare the ingredients these few days. I can't treat you badly."
"You can't be as shabby as your first marriage. We will prepare the food money and other things, so you don't have to worry about it."
Aunt Yi was still thinking about how Sha Zhu and Li Ping would provide for her in her old age, so she planned to spend some money well this time.
Sha Zhu was also extremely happy. It seemed that he was going to increase the strength of the Jia Zhang family.
"Okay, let's just settle this."
"I will send out wedding invitations tomorrow and inform everyone to come to our house for dinner next Saturday."
Bang Geng was listening on the side and was also excited.
Speaking of Shazhu, he is really good at dealing with Banggeng, almost like his own son.
So Banggeng is quite willing to let Li Ping marry Shazhu, so that he can ask Shazhu for money openly in the future.
Moreover, Shazhu is more generous than his biological father Jia Dongxu, and he can eat whatever he wants in the future.
"Great, I agree."
Shazhu touched Banggeng's head.
"My dear son, tell me what you want to eat in the future and I will buy it for you."
Li Ping gave Sha Zhu a blank look.
"Don't hide anything from me in the future, and especially don't spoil him."
It seemed like I was the only one left when I saw that the whole family was so happy.
Jia Zhang felt very unhappy and snorted several times, but no one paid any attention to her.
Aunt Yi smiled and said, "Li Ping, then Shazhu and I will go back. From now on, we are considered a family. You and Shazhu should pick out some new clothes. I will pay for it."
Speaking of new clothes, Sha Zhu suddenly said.
"This is my top priority, I must get it done."
"I've also thought of this new one, it's Chen Xueru's silk shop, it will look so nice when worn."
"Do you remember that after Xu Damao divorced Xia Yunyun, Xia Yunyun started working at Chen Xueru's silk shop?"
"After they divorced, didn't Xia Yunyun come back to our courtyard? She looked so beautiful in that cheongsam."
"Brother Han and Chen Xueru are old friends. I will talk to Brother Han tomorrow and he may give us a discount."
"Anyway, whenever I get married, I must make sure it's well organized, and it must be the most upscale in the courtyard."
Aunt Yi felt a little distressed, but didn't say anything.
After all, Sha Zhu can make money on his own, and now he is a level 5 chef, so his salary is not low.
Moreover, Li Ping will also be working in the future, and the two of them will earn a lot of money a month, so I don’t have to contribute anything.
So let’s just have this wedding in a lively and grand manner.
Li Ping said quickly.
"Silly Zhu, why are you spending so much money?"
"I want to live a good life with you, not to gain face."
"That new clothing is so expensive, and it's not suitable for work."
Silly Zhu laughed.
"Don't worry about this, just leave it to me."
"Then we'll leave first, and you should prepare yourself well."
By the time Aunt Yi and Sha Zhu left, Jia Zhang could no longer hold back her anger.
"Oh, you're so impatient, you don't even want a penny."
"You are so powerful that I don't even have a say?"
"Anyway, I'm telling you, you can't get married if I don't agree."
"I will ask Han Weimin to convene a Siheyuan meeting tomorrow to make a thorough judgment on this matter."
Li Ping was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang on this matter.
"Mom, please stop making such a fuss."
"How come life is so good now? Why are you still acting like a demon?"
"I'm not afraid of other people laughing at me either."
"Besides, when have I ever given you less food?"
"Anyway, I have to get married no matter how you make trouble."
Banggeng is completely on Li Ping's side.
"Grandma, why do you always make trouble?"
"I think Uncle Sha is pretty good. He treats me better than my dad. He often brings me delicious food and gives me pocket money."
"Better than you. You can be quite stingy sometimes."
Jia Zhang felt heartbroken. She really didn't treat Li Ping very well.
But he had nothing to say about his eldest grandson, and always treated him as his own son.
If there is anything delicious, even if I am greedy for it, I will save it for my eldest grandson.
Jia Zhang grabbed the stick and said very seriously.
"My eldest grandson, your last name is Jia, did you know that?"
"I'm telling you, after you get married and they have kids, they won't kiss you anymore."
"From now on, we will depend on each other, why are you contradicting me?"
Bang Geng snorted.
"You're wrong. I'm not that kind of person."
"Besides, Uncle Silly has already promised me that even if I have brothers and sisters in the future, he will still treat me well."
"Besides, what's so good about having the last name Jia? I don't even want to have that name..."
