Chapter 70 No comparison, no harm

"Using a TV as a betrothal gift, Huainan is really generous this time."

You have to know that televisions have only been available in China in recent years. Not everyone can afford to buy them, nor can they be purchased by everyone with money.

Take their slum for example, among all the households combined, not a single one has a television.

So, when I saw Ji Huainan using a TV as a betrothal gift to Shen Yunshu, how could I not find it strange?

I can only say that Ji Huainan is really willing to let go.

Here, Meng Jue originally wanted to follow Shen Yunxiu and other members of the Shen family into the Shen’s house.

But at this moment, when Meng Jue heard that Ji Huainan actually gave a TV as part of the betrothal gift, he was stunned.

His family also has a TV, which his father bought with great difficulty and cost a lot of money.

After buying the TV, he heard his mother say that many people in their compound were envious of it.

They are the only family in the whole compound that has it.

And now, Ji Huainan actually bought a TV set as a betrothal gift for Xiaoshu?

why?
Shen Yunxiu was originally going to go back, but when Ji Huainan came to propose marriage, she couldn't help but stop.

I want to know how much betrothal gift Ji Huainan will give to Shen Yunshu, and what kind of three turns and one ring he will give.

As a result, the first thing that came was the TV!

In her previous life, when Ji Huainan proposed to her, he didn't give her a TV!

Why is it that in this life, I gave Shen Yunshu a TV as a gift when I proposed marriage to her?
Why! It's not fair!
How is Shen Yunxiu worse than Shen Yunshu?

In her previous life, she also loved Ji Huainan the most.

Shen Yunxiu knew that she had to leave at this time. If she stayed, she might be compared with others, which might be even more embarrassing.

But she just couldn't move her legs for some reason. She just wanted to know what else Ji Huainan would give Shen Yunshu.

It's like a person who dies with his eyes open, and would rather die than be satisfied with a result.

Not only Shen Yunxiu, but Meng Jue also thought so.

Soon, people in the compound also saw other things behind the TV.

"That's an electric fan, a Diamond brand electric fan!"

"This thing is great. With this electric fan in the summer, I don't have to fan myself anymore."

In fact, electricity has only been available in this slum for a few years, and it is considered good enough that every household has electric lights installed.

Although a small number of families have electric fans, they are extremely rare. In a large courtyard, there may only be two or three families who have one.

"That's a washing machine, right? I don't want Shen Yunshu to wash clothes by hand in the future."

"It's good to have a washing machine. Our hands are rough from doing housework and washing so many clothes every day. Especially in the winter, the water is so cold that it hurts a lot when our hands are in the water."

"This Ji Huainan is a caring person."

"That's a camera, a Seagull brand, right?"

Cameras are a luxury item. In this age when people may not have enough to eat, almost no family would consider buying a camera, which is expensive and not very useful.

But I won’t consider buying it, not because I don’t like it.

On the contrary, many people like cameras, but feel they cannot afford them and do not need them.

If you want to take pictures, just go to a photo studio.

However, not many people go to this photo studio often because taking photos is not cheap.

Taking photos is not cheap, and cameras are even more expensive.

And now... "TV, washing machine, camera, electric fan... these are the four big items Ji Huainan gave to Yun Shu."

"Oh my god, this is too generous. How much money will it cost?"

"Can Huainan come up with so much money this season?"

"Of course you can. I heard that Ji Huainan joined the army when he was 14 years old and has been in the army for 9 years. He was promoted repeatedly afterwards. With this promotion, won't his salary go up?"

"Besides, the Ji family is small in number. Before, there was only Ji Huainan's mother in the Ji family. How much money can they spend? Besides, before Ji Huainan's mother had an accident and became a vegetable, she had a job. She could earn money to support herself."

"So, marrying Ji Huainan is really a good thing."

"That's for sure."

This Ji Huainan is handsome and tall. Standing next to him, I feel very safe.

He has no other brothers or sisters, only him. Although there will be no one to help him in the future, if he can make a success of himself, he will not need help from others.

During these nine years, he had saved a lot of money, as evidenced by the four major items he bought as betrothal gift to Shen Yunshu.

Ji Huainan is definitely not poor.

Moreover, he is a generous person and seems to be a responsible and loving man.

How could such a man not be popular?

Of course, Ji Huainan’s only shortcoming is that his mother is now in a vegetative state.

If a girl marries into this family, she may have to take care of her mother-in-law.

But recently I heard that Ji's mother was getting better and showing signs of waking up. If she really wakes up, then Ji Huainan's last remaining shortcoming will be gone.

"I think it's better for Yun Shu to marry Ji Huainan than to marry Meng Jue." Someone sighed.

Everyone in this compound knew that Meng Jue was Shen Yunshu's boyfriend. They had seen Meng Jue sending Shen Yunshu back home many times before.

But in the end, Meng Jue and Shen Yunxiu were together.

To be honest, today, when they saw Meng Jue coming to propose marriage to Shen Yunxiu, they were more out of curiosity and wanted to join in the fun.

But they only had blessings for Shen Yunshu and Ji Huainan in their hearts.

Therefore, when they saw the betrothal gifts Huainan gave to Shen Yunshu in the first season, all they had was blessings and envy, not jealousy.

I was just happy for Shen Yunshu, without any sour words.

On this side, Meng Jue didn't expect that in addition to giving Shen Yunshu a TV, Ji Huainan also gave her a washing machine, a camera, and an electric fan...

Meng Jue put himself in her shoes, even though he had previously thought that he loved Xiaoshu very much and wanted to give her the best of everything.

But, he couldn't prepare for these.

The salary he earned from working for all these years was not enough to buy these, not to mention that his salary was now still with his mother.

His mother was against him marrying Xiaoshu, so naturally she would not give him the money she took from him to buy these things.

Isn't it said that Ji Huainan married Xiaoshu just for the sake of getting married?
Didn't they say Ji Huainan's mother was dying? How come she was getting better?
Could it be that the facts were different from what he knew?
Could it be that Ji Huainan really likes Xiaoshu?
Thinking of this, Meng Jue's heart trembled. This was not impossible.

His Xiaoshu was so kind and beautiful, how could anyone not like her?

And now...

Meng Jue's gaze fell on Shen Yunshu again.

He saw that Xiaoshu, who once had her heart and eyes full of him, now had her eyes fixed on Ji Huainan who was walking towards her not far away.

It could never happen to him again.

Xiaoshu, I really, really don’t want him anymore.
