She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 149: Thirty-Six Legs

Was it them who forced Li Cuixia to her death?

No.

It was the Li Family who forced Li Cuixia to her death.

Yun Xiaoxiao also knew about this, it was the little sister-in-law who came to her door to talk about it.

"Jumped into the river to commit suicide?"

The little sister-in-law nodded, "That’s what they said, and the Li Family even went to make a scene at the Cao Family home, but got driven out."

Yun Xiaoxiao blinked, a human life, just like that, gone?

Jumped into the river to commit suicide?

What about her fate?

"Did they find her body?"

The little sister-in-law shook her head, "No, the Li Family is ruthless, forcing their daughter to her death and now not even willing to claim her body. Even the girls from the town wouldn’t dare to ask for so much dowry all at once. I heard the Li Family demanded two hundred yuan for the dowry, plus three turns and a sound. All these added up to more than a thousand. If you earn it all through work points in the fields, how could you possibly come up with so much dowry money at once?"

Three turns and a sound were the standards in the seventies for a worker’s family when getting married.

"Even before the New Year, the Cao Family had only managed to gather a few tens of yuan, a thousand yuan, that would take decades of work to earn that much money."

Yun Xiaoxiao really wanted to say that the reform and opening-up were coming soon, and it genuinely wouldn’t take long to earn that much money.

She also didn’t tell the little sister-in-law in front of her that she had earned that much money herself a few days ago in the county town.

"How much dowry do the girls from the village usually ask for?"

Educated Youth Yun doesn’t know?

It made sense, since Educated Youth Yun married Zhao Laosan, she seldom worked in the fields, and it was very normal for her to be unaware of some village matters.

"Usually, the dowry money is around fifty to one hundred yuan. There’s no three turns and a sound, but there are thirty-six legs."

Thirty-six legs?

What are those?

Suddenly so curious to know.

The little sister-in-law, as if she knew Educated Youth Yun was curious about these, shared, "4 legs from each stool plus a table, making 20 legs, then a large wardrobe with 4 legs, a five-drawer cabinet with 4 legs, a writing desk with 4 legs, and a chair. To get married, if you don’t bring out these 36 legs, you won’t marry off."

These are the thirty-six legs.

"These thirty-six legs are the very basics."

Yun Xiaoxiao really had no idea about these.

She’d only heard about three turns and a sound, the four big items.

"Even though you didn’t demand a dowry when you got married, I heard that your man still prepared it for you."

Building a brick house isn’t something just anybody could do if they wanted to.

The little sister-in-law had come to chat and gossip, seeing that it was getting late, she went back. She had given birth to a pair of twin sons and was very favored at her in-law’s house, usually staying at home to look after the children and doing some housework.

After coming here, she had turned herself into a homebody.

Sigh...

"Little Aunt..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Little Aunt..."

Da Bao and Xiao Bao had come to the house again, with Xiao Mao and Sanya.

Now, Brother Zhao’s home was even further away from theirs.

"Come, try these sandwich biscuits I bought from the county town last time." She handed out one to each, then gave two more to Sanya, "Take these back for your sister."

"Thank you, Little Aunt."

"Thank you, Little Aunt."

The siblings were overjoyed; they knew their little aunt’s home had food, lots of food. Previously, they would eat it themselves and rarely brought any back for their sisters.

The younger ones took the snacks and headed back home.

"Wife, stew the chicken."

A person from the homestead had returned, holding a chicken in his hand.

"I heard from the little sister-in-law that Da Li’s ex had an accident?"

Was his wife curious about it?

"If she’s lucky, someone might have saved her, and she might have even lost her memory," he responded, then added, "If she’s not so fortunate, she’d only have King Yama to meet."
