Super cute daughter-in-law

Chapter 231 Si Ni's Dowry

Yang Liu knew that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhao had different temperaments, Mrs. Liu was kind and tolerant towards her family members, everyone said so, but pushing it back would seem unfamiliar.

She smiled and agreed: "Sure, Second Aunt, I won't be polite to you, and I won't give you any money for the pigs. When the Chinese New Year comes, my family will definitely keep some pigs to make at home." Eat it, I will send it to you when the time comes, and it is also very good to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and replied with a smile: "It's fine, when our pigsty starts to kill pigs, I will bring our Laxiang to your house to help get these things together."

incense?Yang Liu recalled it in his mind, as if he didn't know the existence of this person.

Just as she was wondering, luckily Mrs. Cao answered, "Your Laxiang came back from her uncle's house? This year, she came back early for the Chinese New Year. I remember that she didn't come back until the end of the year in previous years?"

When Mrs. Liu heard Cao's question about this, she sighed lightly: "Hey, to tell you the truth, my sister-in-law is also very good. Laxiang has been helping with the work in their shop in the town for the past two years. I can't get much money, and my sister-in-law scolded me all day long, I thought that our family's life might be easier in the future, so I took her back yesterday, and I won't let her go in the future."

"She is a girl, and she knows how to do housework. It didn't bring much burden to the family. Let her stay at home for a few years, do some embroidery and housework, take care of her younger siblings, and tell her about her husband's family after a few years." , is better than being angry at her uncle's house all day long."

Yang Liu will now understand a little bit, this incense should be the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family, a few years ago because of the difficult life at home, she sent it to the house of her little uncle who runs a shop in the town to do work.

Uncle Yangliu’s family also has five children. The oldest son, Qingguang, is 14 years old this year, and there are three younger ones. My daughter, Mier, is only a little over three years old.

It is estimated that Laxiang is only twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Xiaoye, but she is sensible, so she went to work outside at a young age.

Mrs. Cao nodded after hearing Mrs. Liu's words: "Well, it's good to bring Laxiang back in this way. The whole family is together, and the life is almost happy, so that my daughter is not around. Let's be parents. I will still miss them every day.”

As Cao Shi spoke, she also took a look at Yang Liu. Yang Liu hadn't been by her side all these years, and Cao Shi felt the same way.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Liu felt guilty towards Xiang'er, she took a deep breath: "Yes, the child's father and I also said the same, so we brought her back yesterday."

"Well, let Laxiang come to visit my house tomorrow, and come over to help her sister-in-law do some embroidery work. Her sister-in-law is going to get married not long after the first lunar month, and we haven't got many things yet." As Cao Shi said, he pointed to the unfinished embroidery work on the kang.

"Okay, let her come after lunch. There is nothing for her to do at home in the winter." Looking at the things on the kang, Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered to buy a dowry for Sini She looked at Cao with a troubled look and said, "Sister-in-law, I would like to ask you about Si Ni's marriage. What dowry did you buy for her? I don't know what to buy for her." .”

Naturally, Mrs. Cao can't answer these words, because Sini has been living in Mrs. Cao's house all these years, busy with the family, and Mrs. Cao's dowry was bought according to the things she married her daughter. Naturally, she can't speak directly.

On the other hand, Mrs. Huang, Xu was still thinking about the thing that Mrs. Zhao accused her of being biased just now. She said to Mrs. Liu: "The second child, your family has many children, and the economy has not been well-off. Your boss has been afraid for the past two years. She is about to get married, and there are plenty of places to spend money at home, so don't worry about the dowry for Si Ni's marriage, my boss and I have prepared a lot for her."

As soon as Mrs. Huang finished speaking, Sini also smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Yes, second sister-in-law, I don't need anything. Don't worry about it. If you have spare money, save it for your boss to celebrate and marry a wife in the future." use."

"It costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law now. You see, this time our family Qingfeng married Yingzi, plus the money spent at the time of engagement, plus this time, I'm afraid it will cost at least ten dollars. Two denarii."

"It takes so much to marry a daughter-in-law, sister-in-law?" Liu Shi was really surprised. She always thought that marrying a daughter-in-law would cost five taels of silver at most according to ordinary people.

Mrs. Cao sighed, with a hint of complaint in her tone: "Hey, I thought that five or six taels of silver would be about the same, but these odds and ends are really a lot, plus the money spent on building a house for Qingfeng's marriage Money, how much is ten taels of silver?"

"But your family Qingguang can save some money in the future, our daughter-in-law Qingfeng's family is too stingy, and there are many things that should be spent on them, but his family can't afford it, so we help out. "

When Yingzi gets married, she will be Cao's daughter-in-law. Cao can gossip, but Liu can't follow suit. She avoids the important and lightly persuades Cao: "It's true, Yingzi's family is considered a poor family in our village. Your family is better off. Naturally, your family will have to post some of the expenses, but it’s okay, that Yingzi is a diligent and capable girl, and she must be a good housekeeper when she marries into your family.”

Mrs. Cao looked outside the door, thinking to see if Qingfeng had come back. Seeing that there was no sound outside the door, she curled her lips disapprovingly: "It's hard to say, if they could manage the house, their house wouldn't be as it is today. Let's talk about it when she comes, whether it will be good to manage the family, anyway, this family will definitely not be handed over to her."

Mrs. Liu was silent for a while, and followed what Mrs. Cao said: "It is true that there is a mother-in-law at home, and it is not the daughter-in-law's turn to run the house. What's more, Yingzi's situation is still a little different. Sister-in-law, you should pay more attention to it." , I see that Yingzi's house and that Manxiu's house are getting closer."

Cao Shi nodded hurriedly: "That's what I mean, so this family will not be handed over to her no matter what."

"Yes, that's the reason." Thinking that this topic is too much to talk about, Mrs. Liu stopped at the right time and changed the topic to Sini's dowry: "Sini, in this way, the matter of your marriage, Second Aunt is your own family." People won't play around with you anymore."

"You also know the situation of the second sister-in-law's family. I definitely can't afford this expensive thing, but I have to feel sorry for this girl's marriage. Tell me honestly what you lack. Don't I just buy you some things that you don't need. All the money was spent on things.”

Sini put down the embroidery work in her hand, took Liu Shi's hand and shook it, and said in a coquettish tone: "Second sister-in-law, I really don't need anything, I don't need anything, Dongshiniang and sister-in-law will buy it for me." It's almost the same, besides, Dali won't value our family's dowry."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu purposely looked at Sini with a straight face and said, "No, you still have to buy it, otherwise people will have opinions at that time. If you say no more, the second sister-in-law will be angry. This sister-in-law I want to buy it for you, but the second sister-in-law can't buy it?"

"How about, I will buy you a set of silver jewelry at the bottom of the box according to our old rules here. The simpler ones are too expensive for the second sister-in-law to afford."

Si Ni couldn't help but turned to look at Huang Shi: "Mother, what do you think?"

Mrs. Huang thought about it carefully for a while, then turned over the things on the kang, and then said to Mrs. Liu: "Then how about it, the second family, you make two quilts for Sini. The kind that is covered in autumn, and then two quilt covers are pulled on, and then it will be done as a dowry for her to her in-law's house, and I have already done it for her this winter."

After a pause, Huang went on to say: "The other three families, let them buy some clothes for Sini at that time, the price will be about the same as your quilt, I think about the silver ornaments and so on. Everyone has already bought one set for Sini, and two sets can be sold. There are too many sets that are ruined by our country people. It is better to buy clothes, quilts and other things. These things are waiting for her to go vigorously. At home, left and right are also used.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly, saying that it is better to buy quilts, which are more practical than the silver ornaments. She also promised to go to the town to buy them tomorrow, and if Mrs. Huang is free, Mrs. Huang will go with them.

But when it came to Zhao's family, Liu smiled awkwardly at Huang: "Mom, it's definitely okay for my family to buy quilts. But I don't know about the things of the third family. I can tell her, but she does it. No, I can't guarantee it. When we came together today, I asked her about it on the road, but she didn't say anything after talking about it. I don't know what she planned in her heart."

Since Si Ni got married, although Mrs. Zhao often came here because of the pigpen, she never asked about the dowry, and she didn't even ask about the dowry today, so she probably didn't want to buy it.

Therefore, Mrs. Huang looked at Mrs. Liu and nodded, and said, "Sure, then let her go about this matter. If she comes to ask, I will tell him again. It's fine if she doesn't ask. Anyway, our Sini There is no shortage of these sets of clothes, and seeing how stingy the third daughter-in-law is, I don't plan to give Si Ni a dowry."

"Well, that's all for now. I'll go back and make lunch first." Seeing that the matter was done, Mrs. Liu got up and wanted to go back.

Cao stood up and sent her to the door: "Okay, call Laxiang over this afternoon, I'm waiting for her to come and work."

Mrs. Liu responded and went out the door.

After Mrs. Liu left, Mrs. Cao sighed: "Hey, this third daughter-in-law is really difficult to talk about. She can fall out with us just for such a small amount of money. If this continues, we will be so big in the future. What should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huang sighed along with Mrs. Cao, shook her head, and complained to Mrs. Zhao.

After a long time, she suddenly raised her head to look at Yang Liu, and discussed with Yang Liu with a bit of embarrassment: "Liu'er, if we don't know the pigs into the water, our family won't be able to separate them. Didn't the second child's family also say that they couldn't? Leave it to the third family and forget it, there is only so much money in total, we don't have to worry about it like this."
