Chapter 14 The Dowry
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu stopped his preparations to leave, glanced at Dai Shi who had not moved so far, and said: "Cousin is staying, we should have stayed.

It's just that the lady was not feeling well this morning. After the doctor at home checked the pulse of the lady, he said that the lady had suffered too much since she was a child, and she needed to make up for it and rest more.

When we went out, we had already started preparing it at home, and this will be back, just ready to eat.After lunch, the lady can also rest for a while. "

Xu Shiqiu said this without haste or slowness, and his tone was very normal, but Dong Lei, who heard his words, felt his face burn with panic.

He understood what Xu Shiqiu meant, he was blaming the Dong family for treating Dong Shu badly.

Shu'er's health is not good, of course they didn't raise her well!
If I originally wanted to keep customers, I couldn't say anything about it.

After thinking for a moment in his heart, he said to Dai who was still unwilling to cook: "Since the third son of Shu'er is not at home for dinner, then mother will let Shu'er take the little cock back. The little rooster is the most nourishing." , Shu'er also likes to eat."

After saying this to his mother, Dong Lei looked at Xu Shiqiu with a little embarrassment and said: "Shu'er got married the day before yesterday, and the dowry from your house consisted of four bolts of fine cotton cloth and two sets of silver jewelry.

Shu'er took two bolts of muslin cloth and a set of silver jewellery, and now there are two bolts of muslin cloth and a set of silver jewelry at home, and the third son will also be asked to take them away later. "

Speaking of this, Dong Lei's face became even more ashamed. He really didn't expect that his mother not only asked the Xu family for 20 taels of silver, but also withheld half of Dong Shu's dowry.

When the Xu family brought the things, they made it very clear that they knew that their cousins ​​and mothers had passed away early, so they prepared the dowry together, and it would be good to take them with them when the time comes.

But his mother withheld half of it in private.

Dong Lei also understood that his mother was for him and his sister.

But the 20 taels of silver given by the Xu family is enough, and now the maids of the big families in the town are only about ten taels of silver.

He just broke his leg, and he will recover after three months.

The money for the marriage, and the dowry for his younger sister, he can earn it himself!
Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that Dong Lei would take the initiative to mention these things before he had time to mention them.

He took a serious look at Dong Lei, and saw that Dai Shi reluctantly went to take down the little cock and brought it back under the pressure of Dong Lei's eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Cousin, there is no need to do this, since you have the heart, go to it more in the future." It's good to see the lady."

Xu Shiqiu didn't want the little rooster of Dong's family, but after Dong Lei heard his words, he took a few steps forward with his broken leg supported on a wooden stick, and after almost falling, he finally came to Dong's house. In front of Shu.

Taking the little cock from his mother's hand and stuffing it into Dong Shu's hand, Dong Lei said, "Shu'er, you are married to a good husband. Live with the third son in peace of mind. When my cousin's legs are well-raised, I will earn money." The money will give you some dowry!" Dong Lei said these words forcefully.

Of course, this is also his sincere words.

Dong Shu didn't speak after her cousin opened her mouth, and she nodded slowly until Dong Lei asked his father to find out the muslin and jewelry that his mother hid and gave them to her.

Thinking that her cousin had secretly stuffed maltose and oil cakes for herself, she blinked her crescent moon eyes and looked at him and said, "Then cousin, you should also rest more, get your legs back early and see me when you have time."

After saying this, Dong Shu turned to look at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Master, let's go."

Xu Shiqiu saw that the little lady looked a little sad, so he immediately decided to take the little lady back as soon as possible.

He originally planned to question the Dong family, but it would make the little lady feel too sad, and her cousin was a sensible person, so he decided to wait and see.

If everyone in the Dong family can be as sensible as Dong Lei in the future, he will just treat this family as ordinary relatives for the sake of the little lady.

But if this family dares to bully his little lady again, he will settle the old and new scores together!

Dong Shu didn't know what her husband was thinking, she was thinking of going home quickly, taking good care of her body, and saving her husband from worrying.

But at this moment, the Dong family's quarrel came from behind the two of them.

"It's not for your brothers and sisters that I bought things from the Xu family, but you just sent them back like this!"

Obviously, Dai's words were addressed to his eldest son, Dong Lei.

"I understand what mother is thinking, but the money the Xu family gave is enough for my legs, so those things should belong to Shu'er.

I want to get married and I will earn it myself.Miao Er's dowry, my elder brother will also earn it.

But mother, you shouldn't be ignorant of the things sent by the Xu family!

Shu'er married into Xu's family like this, she is already inferior to others, but you still don't want to pay her dowry.

A woman's dowry is confidence! "

After Dong Lei finished speaking, Uncle Dong Shu's voice of persuasion sounded in the courtyard again.

The Dong family's quarrel was loud, and Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu could still hear it after walking a dozen steps.

Dong Shu felt embarrassed and a little embarrassed to talk to Xianggong.

At this moment, Xu Shiqiu felt that his thoughts just now were wrong.

Originally, he felt sorry for the little lady and wanted to ask her to help her vent her anger.

But looking at the little lady's cousin like that, and the little lady looked embarrassed again, he decided to give the Dong family another chance.

But when he heard the words of the little lady's aunt again, he wanted to turn around and go back, but worried that doing so would make the little lady's face even more embarrassing.

No matter what happened to Dong's family, he was worried about the little lady walking beside him.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu suddenly showed a doting smile at Dong Shu, and said, "My lady, your cousin is nice."

Hearing Xianggong talk about her cousin, Dong Shu's mood also improved.

"My cousin is very kind. When I was young, when I first arrived at my uncle's house, he would always hide half a pancake for me to eat. If the family occasionally ate meat, he would secretly leave a piece for me.

Later, when my cousin went to work in a restaurant in the town, he often secretly brought me food, and even gave me copper coins to buy malt candy. "

When Dong Shu talked about her cousin Dong Lei, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, maybe she thought of how she stole the food brought back by her cousin, like a little squirrel.

Seeing the little lady laugh, Xu Shiqiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But he really didn't expect that Dong Lei would take care of his little lady like this.

That being the case, when his broken leg is healed, he can help.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking about, so after she said a few words, her mood became better again, as if she had forgotten the unhappiness just now.

Seeing such a little lady, Xu Shiqiu also said in a good mood: "I have never eaten a meal cooked by a lady. This little rooster was raised by a lady before. I don't know how it tastes?"

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu hurriedly said proudly to Xu Shiqiu, "Naturally it is the best. After I get home, I will make it for my husband to eat. The chicken I raised is the best!"

While speaking, Dong Shu strode towards Xu's house.

Seeing that the lady had left the Dong family behind so quickly, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but smiled dotingly and shook his head.

His little lady, probably because she didn't meet many people before, seems to like to imitate others, and she has a carefree and silly temperament, he must protect her.

Otherwise, you will definitely be bullied.

After thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu quickly followed Dong Shu's pace and walked towards the house.

On the way back to Xu's house, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu didn't stop talking to the villagers because they both wanted to go back soon.

They didn't know that the villagers in Xiahe Village saw them bring so many things back to Xu's house, and they talked about it for several days before they gradually stopped talking about it.

The villagers all envy Dong Shu for marrying a good family, and the life of Xu's family is too rich.

But some villagers who had been in contact with Xu Shiqiu also came forward and told about the accident when they met Xu Shiqiu before.

Comparing the hatchback, there are naturally many fewer people who envy Dong Shu.

It's just that there are also those who are smart. Thinking of the scene where Dong Shu had been standing beside Xu Shiqiu on the day he returned home and nothing happened, he began to wonder what was going on.

Why is there nothing wrong with Dong Shu?
Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu didn't know these things.

Because of Dr. Du's words that day, since Dong's family came back, Dong Shu has lived a life full of food and sleep.

Half a month later, Dong Shu, who noticed that her clothes were getting tighter, finally mustered up the courage to tell Xu Shiqiu what she wanted to do that night.

"My lord, today I saw that the winter jasmine flowers in the courtyard are all in bloom, which shows that spring has really come.

I stay at home all day and have nothing to do, so I wonder if I can start a vegetable patch in the yard and raise some chickens. "

If it was the first time they got married, Dong Shu would never have the courage to say such things to Xu Shiqiu, at most she would just think about it in her heart.

But after getting along for half a month, because of Xu Shiqiu's pampering, Dong Shu has become much more courageous than at the beginning, at least she has dared to ask Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Shiqiu was about to take off his clothes and go to bed. After hearing what the little lady said, he stopped, turned around and looked at her after thinking for a moment, and then replied, "I don't think it's possible to open a vegetable field. If you want to raise chickens, I'll ask the kitchen to send you a few." A chick is here for you to raise."

In Xu Shiqiu's view, growing vegetables requires watering every day and fertilizing from time to time, which is too tiring.

Unlike raising chickens, you can feed them regularly every day. On weekdays, you can just raise them in the yard.

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she was both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that you can't grow vegetables, but the happy thing is that you can at least raise chickens.

Raise a few chickens, and they will have eggs every day in the future.

Even though life is good now, Dong Shu still prefers the feeling of gaining something after raising chickens.

"Then, sir, can you ask the kitchen to send a few chicks tomorrow, okay? It's better to have a hen, because the chicks are easier to live with if you have the hen with you."

Dong Shu is really bored.

In half a month, she finished making two pieces of clothes for herself and her husband.

She originally wanted to make two more dresses, but the husband felt sorry for her, so he directly called the embroiderer in the shop in the town to order ten sets of dresses for spring and summer.

In addition to the dress, the matching purse, handkerchief, and jewelry are all ordered by my husband, and will be delivered together in half a month.

Now every day, she only needs to cook a meal at noon, and then learn a few characters with Xianggong in the afternoon, so she has nothing to do.

Really boring.

Xu Shiqiu also saw the boredom of the little lady, and seeing the sad look on the little lady's face, he suddenly thought of someone.
