Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Second Su sister-in-law said, “But this is a little too fast. She is only 15.”

“Isn't this just an engagement? If Daya continues to grow fast like this, then what about when she turns 18?” Su Jindang said with a smile.

Second Su sister-in-law also smiled, but didn't say anything else.

When Yang Daya came to work at their place, she treated her well. She ate with their family and lived in a room. Although the shop’s business was a bit busy, it was not a heavy job. The main work was to help look after the child, lend a hand when she was busy, and do housework. It was not hard.

Her salary had been raised to 28 yuan, and food and accommodation were included. These benefits were excellent.

And from time to time, she would buy Yang Daya one or two pieces of clothes, which was more than other villagers.

“I'll ask Daya about it.” Although she heard that Ji Guangzon was a nice person, second Su sister-in-law still went to ask Yang Daya.

Working here was very good, as caring feelings had developed. Although Yang Daya was a worker, her son, Shitou, called her eldest sister, and she treated her as her own daughter.

Seeing her come to ask about this, Yang Daya was very bashful. She still said, “In the village, he is famous for his diligence, and he also has six married sisters. He has helped them all and is very good at taking care of the family. As for his parents, they are also good people.”

“Let's just wait and see, it's still early,” Yang Daya said.

Second Su sister-in-law smiled. She could tell that Yang Daya was satisfied, but at her age, she was really not in a hurry.

“There are three years left, but three years will fly by in the blink of an eye. You have to save more money for yourself, okay?” Second Su sister-in-law said.

If a girl didn’t make money, then she had no power. If she did make money, then she must save some. If she had a bigger dowry when she married, then she would have more confidence.

“There’s no need to save, he won't treat me badly when I marry,” Yang Daya said.

“Silly girl, what you save is your own money. As for your mother's side, don't expect any from them when you get married,” Second Su sister-in-law said.

Second Su sister-in-law knew that Yang Daya's mother, Ma Hui, was in charge of the family affairs and would give nothing to her daughter.

So why should she expect a dowry?

Yang Daya smiled.

“Have you told your mother about the salary increase?” Second Su sister-in-law asked.

“No, I gave the extra three yuan to my grandma and asked her to buy more food,” Yang Daya said.

Second Su sister-in-law didn't say anything. It's no wonder that Danhong was willing to introduce her. Yang Daya's filial piety would not change in the future.

Yang Daya looked at her again and asked, “Aunt, if I get married in the future, can I still work here?”

“Of course you can,” Second Su sister-in-law smiled and said. “As long as you don't mind, you can come work here at any time. Even when you are married.”

Yang Daya put on a smile and nodded.

She really likes this job. She had good food and didn’t have a lot of tasks. The bosses were also very nice, and the salary was very high.

She was not married, so her salary went to her family. When she got married, she would definitely have to save money for her children to study in the future. She went to school for one or two years and stopped. Children, no matter their gender, must be well supported to go to college!

The marriage was potentially three years later. Yang Daya calmed down and started cleaning the room.

In the days that followed, Ji Jianyun was still busy with his own business, but Su Danhong heard that Mother Guangzong had negotiated an engagement with Yang Daya's mother, Ma Hui.

If other families came to ask, Ma Hui would refuse without saying a word, but for Mother Guangzong, Ma Hui would welcome her politely.

Father Guangzong and Mother Guangzong only had one son, and he was a very promising son. Among the young people in the village, Ji Guangzong was one of the best. He was handsome and had a tall body. If her family had any work to do, he could be called in to help.

Before that, she always wanted her daughter to marry someone from the town. She didn't expect Mother Guangzong to come over and want them to get engaged so early.

“Aunt, it doesn't have to be so early, right?” Ji Guangzong was satisfied with Yang Daya, but Ma Hui still held things off. She smiled and said, “My eldest daughter is only 15 this year.”

“15 is not too young. I heard that you were only 16 when you married Aimu,” Mother Guangzong said. “But we are in a new society now. If we don’t like someone, then it is better to wait until later to get married. Three years later, Daya will be 18, and it will be fine by then. My Guangzong will not let you suffer if he becomes your son-in-law. If there is any work to do in the future, just give him a shout and he will come immediately.”

Then she gave a number for the betrothal gift, which made Ma Hui's eyes light up.

99 yuan, which meant long-lasting.

Ma Hui knew that before Li Zhi married Ji Yunyun, the gift was only 70 yuan. Mother Guangzong was saying 99 yuan, which was naturally a lot.

Of course, compared with Ji Mayi's daughter's marriage, it would be less, but how could that be considered a daughter getting married? She was pretty much sold. How many people in the village were spineless like this?

Although Ma Hui liked money, she still needed her reputation.

As for Yang Daya, she earned 25 yuan a month. The 99 yuan gift was equivalent to four months' wages. Her daughter really wanted to get married when she got older, so Ma Hui couldn't keep her in the family forever.

Since she couldn't keep her, of course she had to choose a good son-in-law. Many people in the village were eyeing her daughter. But she had to admit that no one could compare with Ji Guangzong’s family in terms of conditions.

Ma Hui did not agree on the spot. She waited until her husband came back. They discussed it and agreed to it.

Ji Guangzong's family conditions were indeed good, and were at the same level as other families in the town. Since he was receiving a salary from Ji Jianyun, the only difference was that he is from the countryside. He was not bad at all compared to the young men in the town.

But it’s better to marry someone closer in age, and take care of the maternal family, right? If the daughter married far away, then she had to live far away.

So after making various considerations, the engagement happened without even needing Aunt Yang, or a matchmaker, to come forward. Yang Daya came back for the event.

Ji Guangzong and Yang Daya were almost husband and wife.

In order to take Yang Daya back and forth once a month, Ji Guangzong bought a Big Golden Deer bicycle. It was more than 100 yuan, and he bought it just to take Daya back and forth.

The older girls in the village who had a crush on Ji Guangzong were very envious for a while, while the young guys who looked at Yang Daya could only shake their heads and sigh.

There was no way they could compete with Ji Guangzong.

His family raised pigs and chickens, and grew sweet potatoes and wheat. He also had a stable job and earned 40 yuan a month. His parents only had one son, so wouldn’t all the family property belong to him in the future?

How could they compete?
