Chapter 73 Prepare the Dowry

When Liu Qingluo saw that she was asking for bad food, she took a step forward and said, "What my aunt said is too good. They are all blood relatives. My aunt is just like Niuniu's mother. But...my mother will not sit in the car by herself. Come on, let the daughter stand and walk!"

Zhang's face darkened.

She forgot about it!
Isn't this a slap in the face?

But... There is only such a big space on the bullock cart, she doesn't want to let the vulgar people of this family sit beside her!

Forget it, they can't run away anyway, you can go back and ask about the moon cakes, if they don't want to hand over the recipe, then they should also share some of the money from the sale!
If they don't agree, tell the old man, the old lady, the second brother and the second sister-in-law's family!
I don't believe they dare to disobey their elders!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang's complexion recovered, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "In fact, I feel sorry for the little girl, but now the family is separated after all, and I just want to take you, big brother, back home. The old man and the old lady will definitely scold you... Big brother won't have the heart to teach your own brother to be punished by his parents, right?"

Just a moment ago, I said that the separated family is also a close relative, but now I changed my mind!
Changing your face is faster than flipping a book!
Liu Qingluo sneered from the bottom of her heart, but her face was puzzled, "If my aunt and uncle didn't tell me, they wouldn't know..."

"This... cheating the elders is not something we juniors should do. You can't change this at such a young age. Brother, even if the family is separated, the children have to be taught well!"

Mrs. Zhang talked nonsense, and urged Liu Siping repeatedly, "What are you still doing in a daze? Go away! Parents will be upset if you go back late!"

"Oh..." Liu Siping hurried away with the ox cart.

As the sun set, the father and son were left standing on the side of the road.

"Father, shall we go too?" Liu Wenquan, who was silent for a long time, saw that his father's face was not good-looking, so he wanted to take over his burden.

Liu Heping waved his hands, and said in a low tone, "Father can handle it."

What is a close relative?
A compatriot of the same mother, they grew up together, and the brothers were harmonious, and he tried his best to take care of them, but when they got married, everything changed...

In exchange for sincerity, but not the same sincerity.

Liu Heping felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, he really doesn't mind distributing the mooncake recipe and the money he earns to the people in the old house...

"Father, your heart is too sincere!" Liu Qingluo held Liu Heping's clothes and said as she walked, "The Lin family's mother said that people are bullied by kindness. We don't take the initiative to harm others, but we can't just be gentle. Being bullied on the head!"

Over the years, their family didn't owe a penny to the old house!
When the family was separated, it was made clear that there will be two families in the future, and the old house will not give them a grain of rice, and the old man and old lady in the old house will not be raised by them!
"Yes, Mammy is right." Liu Heping touched his daughter's head and sighed.

He is honest, but not stupid. He understands the truth, but he can't turn around in his heart.

Liu Qingluo knew that it was impossible to change him all at once, so she had to take it slowly.

By the time we returned to Nanqiao Village, it was already evening.Standing at the entrance of the village, Mrs. Du could see that her neck had grown, and finally waited for the three figures of father and son to appear. She was very happy, and then she straightened her face and said bitterly, "Damn Liu Heping, he came back so late! Are you going to Starve my girl to death!"

"Is Niuniu hungry? Mother boiled two eggs..." She hugged Liu Qingluo, turned around and walked home.

Liu Wenquan followed behind, "Hey? Mother, why don't you ask me if I'm hungry?"

"How old are you, and you are still grabbing food from your sister!"

Mrs. Du glared over, and Liu Wenquan smiled.

At home, Mrs. Du peeled a white and tender egg, stuffed it into Liu Qingluo's hands, and then asked about today's business.

Liu Heping put down his burden, his excited eyes lit up, and he took out all the copper coins in the basket, "It's sold out, there's not a single one left!"

"Really?" Du Shi was surprised.

"Really! The clothes are also sold out! Except for this—" Liu Qingluo pointed at herself, took out another small bundle, and smiled brightly, "There is still one left here, for mother!"

Du Shi took it over and saw that it was a set of Hunan-colored wide-sleeved long gown and eight-treasure pleated skirt. She was puzzled: "This skirt is protruding from the inside, why is no one buying it?"

Liu Qingluo sat on her chair, swayed her legs, and said with a smile: "Niu Niu didn't sell it on purpose, and left it for mother. Niu Niu thinks mother looks good in it!"

"Little idiot, this can sell for a lot of money. Why is it so wasteful? Mother doesn't need to wear it so well..." Du Shi held the skirt, feeling distressed and happy at the same time.

Liu Qingluo was tired of her acting coquettishly, "Mother wears it... The day after tomorrow, Niu Niu will worship the Moon Goddess with her mother, she will like it if she dresses nicely..."

Du's heart melted, "Okay, it's just a mother's dress..."

Liu Qingluo nodded in satisfaction.

Although Du Shi is a woman in her thirties, she is not young in ancient times, but in fact she has a good foundation, and she is much more beautiful than the half-aged lady in the embroidery shop.

Liu Qingluo likes to see the people she likes dressed beautifully.

She took out all the money she earned today, leaving only the part earned at the Jishi Pharmacy.

I made an agreement with them before that all the money earned from selling herbs will be kept by her in the future.

What she earned from selling clothes, plus what Liu Heping earned from selling mooncakes, was more than a dozen taels, minus the flour she sold for food, and there were more than a dozen taels left.Du counted the number carefully, wrapped it in a handkerchief, put it carefully under the box, and locked it with a lock, so he was relieved.

With some money in his hand, Mrs. Du felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he saw the three father and son smiling at him, blushing, and said fiercely: "What are you laughing at! You can't spend these things indiscriminately, you have to Save it! From now on, Niuniu’s dowry will refer to these!”

Liu Qingluo was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "It's early..."

"It's not early at all!" Mrs. Du put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said, "Your children don't understand! Although we are not as rich as the Lin family, we can't be looked down upon too much. The dowry has to be Get ready..."

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always had the habit of heavy dowry.

According to the law, the dowry brought by a daughter to her husband’s family is not entitled to the husband’s family, and it belongs entirely to the daughter herself. Even if the daughter dies, the dowry is left to her own children. The in-law's family and the mother's family will take them all back!
These are all clearly stipulated in the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the husband's family dares to seize the dowry of the daughter-in-law and sue it to the Yamen, it will be confirmed once it is sued.

It is for this reason that nowadays it is popular for girls to have rich dowries.Not only does the daughter have a good-looking face, but she has a straight body when she goes to her husband's house, and one more thing, anyway, it's all for her own daughter, and it won't fall into the mouths of others.My natal family is also willing.
