Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and asked.

"Uncle Han, what does your nephew do at the steel rolling mill, and how much does he earn each month?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Han knew that things were looking promising; the little girl had taken a liking to something.

“He took over his father’s job as a fitter in the steel rolling mill, and now he earns 27.5 yuan a month.”

Qin Jingru said.

"Twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents, isn't that the same as my sister's?"

"Dr. Han smiled."

"Don't look at his current salary, he's already a level two fitter."

“He will be officially hired after his three-year apprenticeship ends this June, and his salary will be more than this.”

“I went to Beijing that day and overheard my sister-in-law rambling on about how after becoming a regular employee, with the addition of a second-level worker subsidy and such, it would be about thirty-seven yuan a month.”

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when she heard this. Thirty-seven yuan, that's the same price as Sha Zhu's.

Although Xu Damao has some savings, his salary is only a little over twenty yuan.

The conditions that Dr. Han's nephew is in now completely surpass those of Xu Damao.

Most of the men she went on blind dates with were older than her, especially Sha Zhu, who was the oldest.

You should know that Sha Zhu was born in 1935 and is already thirty-one years old this year, while Qin Jingru was born in 1947 and is only nineteen years old this year.

In comparison, Sha Zhu was twelve years older than her, and Xu Damao was nine years older than her.

As a result, Qin Jingru became somewhat insecure. This other person had such good qualities and was only twenty-one years old, just two years older than her.

Such an age gap is very common. Would someone be willing to marry a girl from the countryside?

This is not because Qin Jingru is insecure or lacks confidence, but because this is the reality.

"Uncle Han, your nephew is such a good catch, why don't you introduce him to a girl from the city?"

"I've been to the steel rolling mill; there are quite a few female employees there."

Doctor Han did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

“We’re not strangers, so I’ll speak frankly.”

“My nephew is indeed quite well-off, but he also has his flaws.”

"There are five children in his family, including him: three boys and two girls."

"The nephew I'm introducing to you is the eldest son, the second and fourth sons are sisters, and the third and fifth sons are brothers."

“My eldest sister is an apprentice at a cotton mill this year, and my second sister and two younger brothers are still in school. It’s a lot of pressure.”

“Over the years, my sister-in-law has been earning money by doing odd jobs, and my nephew’s monthly salary has been supporting the family. We haven’t saved anything.”

"First, city wives have high standards, and second, families with heavy burdens are unwilling to marry into them."

“My nephew wants to marry a rural woman he knows well, so she can help out his family more. After all, girls from the countryside are more sentimental.”

Qin Jingru understood by hearing this; this family was indeed burdened with a heavy burden. Would it really be good for her to marry into such a family?

Seeing Qin Jingru's worry, Doctor Han smiled and offered some words of comfort.

"Sixth Sister, I know what you're worried about."

"Don't worry, my nephew said that after he gets married, he will keep at least twenty yuan of his salary for household expenses every month."

"You don't need to worry about any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. My sister-in-law is very reasonable."

"Furthermore, after you get married, he will apply for housing at the steel rolling mill."

"Even if it doesn't get approved for the time being, we'll rent a place on the street and won't let you squeeze in with his mother."

Qin Jingru was indeed somewhat tempted. After considering it for a moment, she asked the most crucial question.

"Uncle Han, you just said that his family had a tough time in recent years."

"In that case, will he still be able to afford the dowry my parents are asking for?"

When Doctor Han saw that Qin Jingru had asked about the bride price, he knew that things were almost settled, and he asked in return.

"If he can afford the bride price, would you be willing to marry him?"

......... .... .......

Qin Jingru frankly stated.

"If he can afford it, I'll meet with him and have a chat."

"If we can connect and feel we're a good match, then I have no objections."

"Just like you said, all things being equal, having a young, promising, and healthy man in my family is better than being forced to marry someone else."

Doctor Han slapped the table and laughed heartily.

"Okay, it's settled."

"Don't worry about the bride price, it's just two hundred yuan, it's a small matter!"

Qin Jingru knew that although Doctor Han earned some money from treating patients, he was not from a wealthy family.

Besides, even if he were rich, would he be willing to pay for his nephew's wedding?

"Uncle Han, will you pay for this?"

"Dr. Han shook his head," he said.

"I don't need to pay for it; I've already decided who will cover it."

Qin Jingru asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Who?"

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Doctor Han looked out the door and smiled.

"Look, the person who paid for it has arrived."

Qin Jingru looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Damao running into the yard, panting. Qin Jingru was speechless as she looked at Xu Damao entering.

Could it be that Doctor Han wants Xu Damao to pay for his nephew's wedding?

"Dr. Han, I...I'm back. What should we do next?"

Doctor Han looked at Xu Damao, who was covered in sweat and looked like a drowned rat.

"Next, we'll treat your illness."

Xu Damao was overjoyed.

"Then, how should it be treated?"

"Dr. Han said calmly."

"If you want to get treatment, then you'd better prepare three hundred yuan first!"

Qin Jingru was completely stunned. Just as she thought, this Doctor Han really had a good plan.

Doctor Han is going to use Xu Damao's money to marry the woman Xu Damao had arranged for him. This is just... well, you know.

"Three hundred yuan?"

When he heard that Doctor Han was asking for three hundred yuan, Xu Damao hesitated.

For a moment, he even suspected that this Dr. Han was deliberately ripping him off, considering that he had only spent about fifty yuan on surgery and hospitalization at the hospital.

"Dr. Han, isn't this price a bit too high?"

Three hundred yuan is not a small amount for Xu Damao, considering that he only has a little over a thousand yuan left in savings.

This money was extra income he earned when he was working in the countryside, which he secretly saved up.

At that time, passbooks didn't require real-name registration, and Xu Damao's entire secret stash was kept in that passbook.

To prevent Lou Xiao'e from discovering the savings book while cleaning the house, he had kept it at his parents' house.

Later, I got divorced, paid compensation, got married, and covered living expenses, all using my savings from those years' wages.

Because he still had some money, he hadn't touched that savings account; it was his last remaining possession.

Doctor Han had anticipated Xu Damao's reaction, and he said calmly.

"947" "Three hundred yuan is indeed a lot, but spending three hundred yuan to buy an opportunity to continue the family line is a worthwhile investment."

Xu Damao forced a smile, walked to Qin Jingru's side, tugged at her sleeve, and whispered.

"Jingru, how much did your sister and the others spend back then?"

Although Xu Damao's voice was soft, Doctor Han still heard it and shook his head with a smile.

"You don't need to ask Liu Yatou anymore, I'll just tell you directly."
