Li Cuihua laughed, "It’s only the twelfth of the last month, there’s still ten days to catch fish."

Yuan Chun smiled, apologetically saying, "It’s just that I crave fish too much, couldn’t resist... and, it was my bad luck, as a stone on the riverbank loosened, and I slipped... Luckily, a good person saved me today, oh dear... and I think I accidentally kicked that good person..."

Yuan Chun’s reminder made the villagers remember the person who saved her.

Everyone turned, looking at the man holding a green bag. Li Cuihua smilingly asked, "Comrade, you aren’t from our village, who are you looking for?"

"Hello everyone, my name is Guo Jingling, I was entrusted by my comrade-in-arms, Ma Qingshan, to deliver a parcel to his parents."

Li Cuihua slapped her thigh, "Oh, that’s my brother-in-law, you’re a comrade of my brother-in-law, quick, come to my house, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are both at home."

Guo Jingling nodded towards Yuan Chun, leaving a sentence, "Comrade, I’ll take responsibility." Then he followed Li Cuihua away.

Yuan Chun was also escorted back to the Knowledge Youth Courtyard by some gossip-loving elders and aunts in the village.

As expected, just like in the previous life, not long after, Aunt Ma from Li Cuihua’s came to the Knowledge Youth Courtyard to propose on behalf of Guo Jingling.

Guo Jingling didn’t hide his situation, he frankly admitted he was in a second marriage and had a five-year-old son, and Aunt Ma laid it all out clearly.

Aunt Ma also said, "Shen Zhiqing, Mr. Guo said that if you agree, he will offer a dowry of one hundred and twenty yuan, and buy you a watch and two sets of new clothes."

In the past life, Guo Jingling did give the original owner a watch, but it was second-hand, and Guo Jingling only spent fifty yuan on it. What left Yuan Chun speechless was that the original owner wore it for only a month before Mrs. Guo took it away to give to Guo Jinghong as dowry.

The one hundred and twenty yuan dowry later was all spent on her stepson.

Whenever she went to pick up her stepson from school, he would always want to buy this and that, and if she refused, he would publicly scold and hit her for being a bad stepmother. The original owner was afraid of losing face and could only comply with him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

But after marriage, Guo Jingling never gave her a penny.

His salary was all handed over to Mrs. Guo.

She was too embarrassed to ask her husband and mother-in-law for money, so she could only spend her own dowry money.

Thinking about the treatment of the original owner, Yuan Chun’s delicate face fell weakly and said, "Aunt Ma, my mom wrote to warn me that if I get married, the dowry money must not be less than three hundred yuan, plus the three turns and one sound. Aunt Ma, you know, I’m most afraid of my mom. I’m afraid that if I don’t ask for the dowry as my mom said, she’ll come to my in-laws’ house to make trouble, and by then, it’ll be Mr. Guo’s family losing face."

Aunt Ma sighed, "Three hundred yuan, plus the three turns and one sound, even in the city bringing in a bride isn’t this expensive."

Yuan Chun feigned curiosity, "Given Mr. Guo’s impressive demeanor, is he not a city person?"

Aunt Ma, "..."

Yuan Chun continued, "Aunt Ma, some city dowries are even more expensive than this, and what’s more, I’m a young lady marrying a man who’s been married before, he’s the one who’s getting the advantage."

"Moreover, when I marry in, I’d immediately become the stepmother, and I don’t have a job. In the future, I’d definitely have to serve his family like a nanny. Think about it, a city nanny costs fifteen yuan a month, right? I’m asking for a three hundred yuan dowry, that’s just under two years’ worth of nanny fees, yet I’d be serving the Guo Family as a nanny for life; it’s more of a bargain for him."

Aunt Ma: "..."

Accounts, could they really be calculated this way?
