Chapter 489 The Poor Little One in the Period Literature——Kong Xiaojuan 3
"Really? People are talking about it! They say that family paid a lot of money and many people are tempted, but there is no suitable girl in the family, otherwise they would be willing."
"Then mother, what on earth is wrong with his child? Why would he spend so much money to marry a wife?"
"Forget it. We are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I'll tell you the truth. The boy's legs were broken by the car and he can never stand up again." Kong Hongmei's mother-in-law stepped forward and whispered.
"Then..." Kong Hongmei's enthusiasm faded a little. She looked at her mother-in-law and said, "The whole family depends on one laborer. If this laborer is useless, life will be long. How hard it will be for you to marry into this family!"
"But they offer a lot of things, a lot of money, and a lot of things. There should still be someone willing to do it!" The old lady sighed.
"After all, every family has several sons these days, so they would be willing to exchange a daughter for so much money."
"That's true. After all, every family has several people these days. They're not all well off."
"It's a pity that we don't have anyone suitable. They only want someone of the same age as their son."
"How old is their son now?" Kong Hongmei asked hurriedly.
"14 or 15? I forgot, probably around that age! They only look for girls who are 13 or older."
"What?" Kong Hongmei immediately became interested. She asked hurriedly, "Mom, did you hear correctly? They want girls over 13."
"Yes, I really heard it was 13 and above."
"7 great unity! With that money, you can buy a lot of things." Kong Hongmei's mother-in-law's face was full of regret. She wondered why she didn't give birth to a daughter of that age, otherwise the money would be hers.
"Mom, you stay at home and take care of the kids. I'll be back soon." Kong Hongmei said and ran out the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll be back soon." Kong Hongmei shouted and ran away.
It was a long time before Kong Hongmei's mother-in-law remembered that Kong Hongmei had a niece of the same age.
She understood that the daughter-in-law must have gone home to discuss things with her mother. It was also such a large sum of money, who wouldn't be envious?
The old woman picked up her grandson from the ground with a face full of envy. This mother-in-law is going to get rich.
"Xiaobao, your grandma is going to get rich..."
Kong Hongmei ran out but not far away when she remembered that discussing the matter with her mother was useless, so she decided to go find her brother.
Before entering the county town, one had to inform the team leader. Kong Hongmei ran back to find the team leader to explain the situation before following others into the county town.
As soon as Kong Jiefang walked out of the factory gate after get off work, he saw someone outside. He looked at his sister in surprise: "Sister, why are you here?"
"Jiefang, I have something to tell you." Kong Hongmei stepped forward and pulled Kong Jiefang over and walked towards a place with few people.
Kong Jiefang was very unhappy when he heard Kong Hongmei's words. He was afraid that she was here to borrow money again.
"Tell me what's the matter!" Kong Jiefang's tone was not very warm, but Kong Hongmei was so excited that she didn't notice his mood change.
"Well, let me tell you. My mother-in-law said that there's a family in the village next door to us who is looking for a daughter-in-law. To be more precise, they're looking for a child bride."
"What does that have to do with me? Why are you running to me in such a hurry?" Kong Jiefang looked puzzled.
"Listen, his child has crippled legs, and he wants to find a girl who is 13 or older to give 7 big unity photos. Do you hear me? 7 big unity photos..." Kong Hongmei stretched out her finger and waved it in front of Kong Jiefang's eyes.
"Wow, this family is so generous, giving so much money." Kong Jiefang was also surprised when he heard his sister's words.
"Really? That's why many people are interested in this. But their family doesn't have any girls of the right age. I thought Xiaojuan might be suitable, right?"
"You mean marry Xiaojuan?"
"Yes, marry her off. She's already that old, so we'll find a husband for her when the time comes."
"What difference does it make whether I look for it now or later? Maybe I won't be able to find such a good family in the future!"
"Don't be foolish. With this money, we won't have to worry about your mother's retirement. Your children can also eat more good food."
After hearing what Kong Hongmei said, Kong Jiefang remained silent and began to think in his heart.
This daughter has never been close to him, so it is appropriate to send her away. He is just afraid that her former in-laws will cause trouble.
But thinking about how they hadn't even visited the child since his ex-wife died, he figured they probably wouldn't interfere if he sent her away now.
"Have you thought about it? See if it's appropriate. If it is, I'll do it so that we don't have to worry about it any more."
"Even though he's disabled, the conditions he offers are still good! Who knows, who might be interested."
"I've made up my mind and will do as you say." Hearing his sister's urging, Kong Jiefang made up his mind and agreed to this matter.
"Okay, I'll do it when I get back. But..." Kong Hongmei looked at Kong Jiefang, hesitant to speak.
"I know. You won't miss out on any benefits." Kong Jiefang saw his sister's expression and understood everything. If you want someone to do something, you have to give them benefits. He immediately agreed.
"Well, since you said that, I will definitely do it beautifully for you. You don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I trust you to do the job." The two talked for a while before separating.
After Kong Hongmei left, Kong Jiefang's wife, Jin Xiuzhen, came forward and asked, "Who is that? What's going on?"
"My sister, she came to tell me something and is in a hurry to go back."
"What's the matter?" Jin Xiuzhen asked indifferently.
Kong Jiefang looked at his wife's puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and then told her what happened.
After hearing this, Jin Xiuzhen didn't say anything about how she could benefit from it. She would never meddle in other people's business.
"What are we having for dinner? I'll make it later." Jin Xiuzhen directly changed the subject, indicating that she was not interested in this matter.
Seeing that his wife no longer asked about this matter, Kong Jiefang also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his wife would ask more questions and he would not be able to handle it. What if she despised him for being cruel?
My current wife is gentle and considerate, has a good job, my parents-in-law are nice to me, and we have three lovely children.
He had it better than most, and he didn't want to ruin it.
"Just do what you want. I like to eat whatever you make."
"You're just a sweet talker." Jin Xiuzhen scolded with a smile.
"I'm not lying. The food you cook is really delicious."
The couple chatted and laughed as they returned home. As soon as they opened the door, their three children rushed over and called out sweetly:
"Mom and Dad, you're back. Did you bring us any peach cakes?"
"Oh, I forgot." After hearing what the children said, Kong Jiefang remembered what he had promised to buy for the children at noon.
