Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 7

In fact, the Chu family lived in a very difficult situation. The grandfather was ill, and the first and second householders were not rich, so they were self-sufficient.Father Chu has a subsidy for joining the army, and there should be as much money as a penny every month. A thousand won is a consistent amount. At this time, a few won can buy a live fish. Today she just spent three won to buy a fish. Live fish weighing about a pound.

One won can also buy a bowl of oatmeal and a bean dregs pancake.

In this era, the subsidy for going to the military camp is very high, and Chu's father has at least a regular income every month, but Chu's father only gives the Chu family a mere hundred yuan per month. One can imagine what the Chu family is living.Mrs. Sun even works hard every day to find work to subsidize the family.

In the past, Chu Chan might not have known why Chu's father only asked people to bring back a small amount of won money every month. When he came back with the Zhou family and a pair of children, Chu Chan also understood.

It is obvious that Chu's father was with the Zhou family not long after he went to Yizhou, and gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters one after another. With Zhou's presence, it is understandable that the Chu family gave the Chu family so little.

In this era, although there are not many restrictions on women, the status of women is indeed very low. There should not be too many women who do not get dowry when they get married. If they are better, they will buy some furniture and boxes. Won the money, the property and the land can never be divided, after all, these are to be left to the son, and if it is given to the daughter, it will become someone else's family.The main reason is that it has not been too long since slave society to feudal society in this era. Many people can get their own land and real estate, so naturally they will not let it fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames.

However, there are also rich families, powerful nobles or royal families who love their daughters very much. When their daughters get married, they will give some property shops to Zhuangzi Shantou.

Chu Chan knew that Chu's father was able to be with the Zhou family so quickly when he went to Yizhou. He thought that Zhou's natal family would not be too down and out, but it couldn't be too rich. Soldiers are gone.I'm afraid that Zhou's family is just so-so. It is very likely that Zhou's father is a small official in the local area.

Even if Zhou's natal family is fine, it is impossible to give Zhou a dowry that is too rich. The furniture that Zhou brought back from Yizhou is not good, it is just so-so.

In this case, all of Chu's father's money is naturally in the care of the Zhou family.Ping'er is only ten years old this year, so it is impossible for her to be Zhou's dowry maid. Obviously, she bought a slave after marrying Chu's father. This is why Chu Chan dared to reprimand Ping'er just now. The maid who was married to the Zhou family is really the Zhou family's private property.

Combining the above, Chu Chan almost knows who Zhou is.As for Father Chu, he really felt that he owed them, so she would make good use of this debt.

Father Chu's brows loosened when he heard the words, only guilt remained, "It's not good for the father, if it wasn't for the father, they wouldn't have to travel around at such a young age."

Chu Zhen's smile was a bit stiff, and she suffered from Chu Chan's loss twice a day. She was not as calm as Zhou Shi, and she was angry in her heart. She ignored Zhou Shi's eyes and continued to mutter, "Brother, when the second brother went out in the morning It was said to go for a stroll, but it was not said to be looking for work."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "Brother and Brother are just afraid that everyone will worry, so I didn't say it clearly." Then she turned her head to comfort Father Chu, "Father, don't worry, Brother and Brother want you not to work too hard, they have Properly, Dad has to trust them."

"That's not it!" The old lady Chu, who had been silent all the time, glared at Chu Zhen, "Isn't it just to go out for a stroll, and I don't know how your mother taught me, how come you don't understand anything! Your sister also Just a few months older than you, see how sensible you are."
