Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1422 Famine and Natural Disaster 580
Parents are worried when their children have no future.

When children are too successful, parents will be worried.

Mingyi smiled and said, "Mom, as long as you and Dad are fine, I don't need any compensation."

I was full of anger on the way home, but when I saw my daughter's smiling face, all the anger in my heart disappeared; my daughter is thoughtful and is a little cotton-padded jacket for the couple.

"Thank you for your hard work." It's tiring to run around outside.

Even though it was hard work, the Crown Prince of Zhou raised his daughter very well, a level of care that they themselves could never achieve.

When the son and daughter stand together, the son has a good temperament and looks bookish; however, compared with the daughter, he lacks nobility and confidence.

Mingyi's confidence comes from the Prince of Zhou, her teacher, and her own excellence; her son does not have a good family background, so no matter how well he studies, he still lacks confidence and the aristocratic temperament of a young man from a noble family who has been cultivated since childhood.

"My daughter doesn't feel it's hard. Everything she does is what she wants to do, so she doesn't feel it's hard." Doing something you like to do is not hard work, it's fun.

How can earning merit and fortune be called hard work?

"Good child." Her little girl had grown up, which made her feel distressed but she didn't know how to express her distress. She could only hold her in her arms to feel better.

After sticking with her mother for a while, Mingyi couldn't stand it anymore; her mother knew she was leaving and felt very sad.

Trying to find a way to get rid of her mother, Mingyi complained to Chunmei, "I've lived at home for less than a month and my mother already started to dislike me. She couldn't stand me being idle. When she heard I was leaving, she immediately changed her expression. This is my real mother."

Chunmei covered her mouth and laughed.

Mingyi snorted coldly: "Chunmei, is your mother like this?"

"My mother treats me and my brothers in the same way. She gets annoyed when she's at home, but starts missing us the moment we leave. I guess all mothers in the world are like this. They get annoyed when they're around, but miss us the most when they're not around."

Mingyi nodded seriously and said, yes, that’s it.

In the evening, she told her family that she was going to the provincial capital, and left with her luggage the next day.

No matter how reluctant the Cheng family was, there was nothing they could do. The Cheng cousins ​​reluctantly saw her off to the carriage and watched her leave.

"There will be a wedding at home at the beginning of the year. Once Minglian's wedding is over, it will be Mingxin's turn. Will Yiyi be able to come back for the wedding?" Cheng Dazhu looked at Cheng Yuanxi and his wife with a questioning look.

"I'll ask Mingyi next time she comes back." Cheng Yuanxi said.

Cheng Dazhu didn't expect him to agree on behalf of Mingyi, but just asking was enough.

After returning home, the family members each went about their own business.

Cheng Mingyue stayed at home with the old lady cooking, while Cheng Dazhu smoked his pipe and thought about what kind of dowry to prepare for Mingyi; it would not do if the dowry was too ordinary and Mingyi couldn't even give it away when she got tips from outside.

Fortunately, we have two years to prepare. Our family is not well-off enough to give objects that represent our status. So we can give more money in silver, exchange more gold and silver melon seeds, and pack them in two separate boxes. That will be two dowries.

"What are you thinking about? It's time to have breakfast." Luo Cuihua came over with a porcelain bowl of porridge. Seeing Cheng Dazhui's dazed eyes and smoking a pipe, she got angry.

Cheng Dazhu looked up at her, then knocked out his cigarette, took out the unfinished one and threw it away; he hung the cigarette around his waist and walked into the main room. "I'm asking you, what are you thinking about? Why are you walking?" Then he walked into the main room, put down the rice bowl, and looked angry.

"Nothing much. I'll call Yuandong and the others to eat, and then we'll go to the workshop after we finish eating."

Luo Cuihua had no intention of letting him go. She looked at him coldly and said, "You are thinking about Cheng Mingyi again, right?"

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and call people to eat. Breakfast will be cold soon."

"Mingyi's adopted family is good, so I can't say anything if you give her more dowry. But Mingyue must get married before Mingyi. The dowry I originally planned to give Mingyue was ten acres of land and one hundred taels of silver. How much do you plan to give Mingyi as a dowry? Tell me the number."

Again.

Cheng Dazhu was impatient. "Are you the head of the family, or am I? You have to ask about everything. How can I not discuss with you if you treat everyone equally? You always act according to your own preferences and temper. If you were the head of the family, this family would fall apart sooner or later."

If he hadn't said this, she wouldn't have wanted to argue, but once he mentioned it, she couldn't help it.

"Why didn't this family break up when I was in charge?"

"There is a rift between the brothers, but it has not dissipated." Seeing that she was getting excited, Cheng Dazhu's attitude turned cold, "How many of the grandchildren like Mingyue? Don't you see that few brothers and sisters are willing to pay attention to Cheng Mingyue? Why can't you see that? You are still mindlessly partial to Cheng Mingyue. Can you use your brain? The foundation of our family will rely on the grandson and Mingyi in the future. It's fine if you don't treat the grandsons better, but what can you do if you find out the amount of dowry for Mingyi? Do you want to give it to Mingyue?"

Luo Cuihua choked up, facing the mocking gaze, and was unable to save face for a moment, "I won't tell you, anyway, Mingyue's dowry must be a little bit bigger, not much less than Mingyi; our family is not short of money now, give a little more so that Mingyue can stand up straight in her husband's family."

"You have private money, you can give it yourself."

"That's..." How could she give away her private money? She didn't take care of the family, and she didn't have much money; that little private money was kept for self-defense.

The conversation ended without any further progress.

Luo Cuihua was reluctant to give up her private money, and Cheng Dazhu was unwilling to give Mingyue too much dowry; neither of them would give in, and neither could do anything to the other.

The couple have been together for decades, going through ups and downs together, but Cheng Dazhu cannot divorce his wife, and Luo Cuihua cannot become an enemy of the entire family for Cheng Mingyue.

After breakfast.

Cheng Dazhu left Cheng Yuanxi behind and told him alone, "Pay attention to Mingyi's dowry. Tell me how much money you need. Use the best materials for furniture and step-out beds, and hire a carpenter with good skills. Our family can't give Mingyi much support, and we won't be able to speak for her in front of Prince Zhou's mansion in the future. You must make sure the dowry is well prepared."

At least we have to let the Zhou Palace see how much they value Ming Yi.

"I know, don't worry, Dad." What Cheng Yuanxi didn't say was that he had already asked his son to inquire among his classmates and get the good wood first.

Cheng Dazhu nodded slightly and continued, "Prepare more gold and silver melon seeds. I'll give you 10,000 taels to buy wood and gold and silver melon seeds for forging. If it's not enough, ask me for more."

"Dad, isn't what you gave a little too much? Ten thousand taels. If my brothers and sisters-in-law knew, they would be upset." Cheng Yuanxi frowned. He didn't think the money was too much, but he was considering the entire family.

The Cheng family rose to prominence because of Ming Yi, but how many years will this rise be remembered?

Cheng Yuanxi didn't want the issue of dowry to create a rift in the hearts of his brothers and sisters-in-law, which would create hidden dangers in the future.

"It's okay. I will explain to them that Mingyi is marrying the ruler of the northwest, unlike Mingyue. The more dowry the better. Our family will do our best to buy it. After all, we can't let Mingyi suffer any loss."
