The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 185 Mother and Daughter Conversation
Mrs. Song and the others came back in the middle of the afternoon. Pomegranate walked around the workshop and came out, and happened to meet them at the door of their house.

At that moment, he hurriedly joined in and helped Old Yuan into the main room. He turned around and asked curiously, "How are you doing?"

Mrs. Song couldn't smile from ear to ear, "Then the Meng family is good! I like Dongsheng's child! When I came back, you and your aunt nodded. When she asked the Meng family what they meant, if they were also satisfied, I guess I’ll be here to propose marriage in a few days!”

She said she was guessing, but after looking at each other today, she also saw that the Meng family was satisfied. This marriage was almost inseparable!

Shiliu heard that if the marriage was possible, the eldest sister would probably marry into the Meng family. Thinking of Meng Dongsheng she had met that day, she nodded secretly.

When she turned around and saw her eldest sister blushing with embarrassment, she couldn't help laughing.

She was not shy about this kind of thing. After all, she wanted to be considerate of her eldest sister's shyness. Only after her eldest sister went to wash her clothes did she talk to Mrs. Song in private, "Mom, what did you and dad plan for my eldest sister's dowry? "

Mrs. Song thought about it when her little girl asked this question. The current arrangements at home were all thanks to her little girl. She couldn't just care about her eldest daughter, and she had to consider her feelings. Woolen cloth.

The couple had thought about this for a long time, so they said: "When your father was refinishing the Wang family's furniture, he gave it to your eldest sister to refinish the furniture and a set of furniture. Then he would buy bedding and other things, and then he would go with your eldest sister. I will go back with ten ounces of silver in the box and the betrothal gift from the Meng family."

"That's all?" Shiliu frowned upon hearing this, "How much do you think the Meng family will give as a gift?"

Mrs. Song said: "Now we are seeing each other for the first time, how can we talk about these things? We have to wait until the marriage proposal, but I heard from your aunt that even a married girl from the Meng family is willing to spend ten ounces of silver with her. I’m afraid the bride price for marrying a wife will not be small.”

Shiliu then waved her hand, "How much will we discuss after the marriage is proposed? No matter how much the betrothal gift is, the dowry for the eldest sister, ten ounces of silver is too little."

Mrs. Song was shocked, ten ounces of silver is still less? When she got married, her father gave her six ounces of silver because he loved her. This was already the most respectable thing for a village in ten miles and eight villages.

Seeing her reaction, Shiliu smiled and couldn't help but said: "Don't talk about the distance, let's talk about the present. How much money does our family have now? Do you know how much money we have, mother?"

Mrs. Song was stunned. She couldn't count. She really didn't know how much money she had. However, after closing the accounts last year and giving five ounces of silver to each person in the family, she bought a shop with the rest. She still had about six Ten taels, she knew that.

But it has been so long since the New Year, and many deliveries have been made one after another. All the money she received was put into boxes, wages and expenses, etc. She could take the pomegranates if she wanted, but how much money did she receive? How many, she hadn't counted yet. She only knew that there were a lot of silver ingots in the box, much more than the more than one hundred silver ingots mentioned in the pomegranate account years ago.

"Ten ounces of silver are short, how much do you think is appropriate?" Mrs. Song couldn't help but ask her daughter. She had rules and regulations, and she obeyed them.

"In the city, the dowry comes with the shop, house, and fields. Although we are not in the city, the Meng family is not an ordinary family. The thicker the dowry for our eldest sister, the more confident she will be when she gets married, but you can't buy fields. , but it’s a shop or a house, if you can buy one, I’ll give it to my eldest sister!”

She is such an eldest sister, so she naturally wants her best. The family is just starting out now, so she can't give more, but she can't give less either.

If we wait until we earn more later to pay, the eldest sister will be married by then, which is not good after all. Hearing her daughter's tone, Mrs. Song also exclaimed, "Are you staying with me in the shop?"

Mother, there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages who can accompany these people. It is the step-grandfather's sister-in-law in the big house. She had a dowry of twenty ounces and twenty pounds of silver in the box. That is very enviable. After so many years, Some people said that the dowry was thick.

The shop they own is forty-five taels. This was the price that Pomegranate and her adoptive father gave Li Qingmian, so it’s still forty-five taels, and a house, even the smallest one, is still in the city. For a house like this, dozens of hangings are indispensable.

Such a dowry for the eldest daughter, oh, my heart is beating fast just thinking about her.

Although she doesn't know how to calculate, she also knows that the money currently in the box is not enough to buy a shop and a house. She bought it for the eldest daughter, not the second daughter? And my son...

If all these were bought for one shop and one house, it would be fair, and her pomegranate would not be burdened! This money was all earned by Pomegranate's brains, and it was for the blessing given by the God of Wealth!
This blessing cannot be wasted too much.

Mrs. Song said without thinking, "The dowry is too much. It doesn't have to scare the Meng family. According to me, ten ounces of silver is already a lot."

Shiliu knew what she was thinking, so she immediately said: "We don't have enough money at the moment, but the eldest sister said that the engagement and marriage will have to be next year. It's still very early for next year. I I can’t guarantee how much I can earn by then, but it’s no problem to earn two or three times more than I do now. Isn’t it as simple as buying a few houses and a few shops?

And it’s only been a year. How many more years do we have until my eldest sister gets married? We’ll earn more later. By then, we’ll have a shop and a house for each of us to keep! Mom, you only care about the current family situation, and give the eldest sister ten ounces of silver to keep the bottom of the box. Later, when the family's wealth increases and the eldest sister gets married, it won't be normal for you to give money to the eldest sister again. "

Mrs. Song listened to what she said, and it made sense when she thought about it. Just last year, their family didn't have a penny, but half a year later, how is it now?
What will happen if we wait for a year or two? No need to think about it, as long as the business is done well, it will be fine.

When the eldest daughter is married, her parents’ family will send money to her without offending the Meng family——

After thinking about it like this, she said: "Mother, I will listen to you! You have an idea, Shiliu, and it's up to you!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Pomegranate's head, "Thank you for your hard work. Our family is what it is today, and it's all thanks to you. Don't worry about your eldest brother and the others for now. When you have enough money, you can give it to me first." You and your eldest sister buy a house - buy more for yourself!"

She thought about what Shiliu said about city people who marry their daughters to stay with them in shops and houses. Although the daughter is not ready to marry yet, she is capable and has a foster father who is a big shopkeeper. She can't tell who her future marriage will be to. It’s always a good idea to save more dowry.

Pomegranate pursed her lips and smiled. She had definitely thought about this in her mind!
But the most important thing at the moment is the eldest sister and the eldest brother. The shop and the house should be put aside first. When the eldest sister gets married, how much cash the family has accumulated at that time will be watched by the money at the bottom of the box for the eldest sister.

Talking about the shop and the house, it had been quite a while, and she had to go to the city to meet the gold-toothed man tomorrow to see if he had any clues.

Putting money in your hands won't make money, it's better to buy a property.

It would be best to find a shop first, so that she can follow her rules——
