Medical skills help me win the arrogant husband

Chapter 378

"What about the other one?" Chu Yu asked.

Gu Fuyun said: "The other is called Li Xiangdong, who is also famous for raising people, and has a little property. His family has [-] mu of fertile land, and his parents are hardworking and honest. They are a typical farming family. In the local area, he can be regarded as a country gentleman's family. Li Xiangdong himself, The conditions are much better than those of the Zhang family, but there are also shortcomings. He has parents, younger siblings, and is the eldest son of the family. It took the strength of the whole family to confess a person. The entire Li family has great expectations for Li Xiangdong. .”

In general, the capable eldest son of a family will receive the full support of the family. After becoming famous, he must give back to the family, help his younger siblings, be filial to his parents, and even provide convenience to the clan members.One can imagine the pressure.In modern times, it is a typical phoenix man who marries a peacock woman and arouses dissatisfaction from his wife for helping his parents and younger siblings.Phoenix men generally believe that if one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs can also ascend to heaven.But he has no ability to help his family, so he will count on his wife and even his in-laws to help his family, and he thinks it should be taken for granted.

"Whether you are Zhang Chaoyong or Li Xiangdong, part of the dowry that the Chu family prepares for you will be reserved for my uncle."

No matter how Wucheng's mansion is, Chu Yu can understand the tricks here and the various consequences he will face in the future.She was a little hesitant. To be honest, she didn't want to marry either of these two men.However, she couldn't afford to offend Chu Rui.

Therefore, Chu Yu decided to see the person involved first.

Gu Fuyun agreed.

Without further ado, Chu Rui asked Gu Fuyun to call Chu Ling along.

"Although Chu Yu has a lot of problems, after all, it belongs to our room. Let her choose first, and leave the rest to Chu Ling, lest she say that we treat her harshly."

……

Three days later, Gu Fuyun took Chu Yu and Chu Ling to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense.Chu Rui also took Zhang Chaoyong and Li Xiangdong.

Later, Chu Yu told Gu Fuyun that she was willing to marry Li Xiangdong.

Chu Ling said that she chose Zhang Chaoyong.

Gu Fuyun was a little surprised, and asked them: "Tell me your opinion."

Chu Yu said: "Li Xiangdong is good-looking and energetic. Talking to him makes me very happy and relaxed." That Zhang Chaoyong is just average-looking, and his clothes are a bit grassy. How can he look like a scholar?He is clearly a farmer who does farm work.When talking, he only asks a question before answering a sentence, like a piece of wood.

Gu Fuyun looked at Chu Ling again.

Chu Ling's reason is: "Although Zhang Chaoyong is not energetic in picking up the decorations, he is sincere and pragmatic. He told me when he came here that his family was poor and his mother died early. It was his father who worked so hard to bring up their siblings. In order to support them Brothers and sisters, even to help him study, his father went to work in the Duke's mansion. He never thought of climbing up to the lady of the Duke's mansion, but since the Duke's mansion praised him so much, he was willing to climb up once. And to me Promise, if you are lucky enough to marry me, you will treat me well and never let me be wronged."

Then he blushed and said to Gu Fuyun: "Sister-in-law, I am willing to marry Zhang Chaoyong."

Gu Fuyun asked: "Have you really thought about it? His family is poor, although it can't be called a family, but it's not far behind. When you marry, you not only have to subsidize the dowry, but also have to take care of the whole family. "

Although Zhang Jishan works as an official in the Duke's Mansion and works for Chu Rui, he can receive eight taels of silver every month.Excluding rent expenses, it is more than enough to support a family.But Zhang Chaoyong's reading is also a bottomless pit, and the cost of pen, ink and paper research is not cheap.This is also due to the generous treatment of the Duke's Mansion, otherwise he would not even be able to rent a house as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Chu Ling said: "I believe in elder brother's vision. I believe even more that even if we cannot live on one day, elder brother and sister-in-law will not ignore us."

Gu Fuyun couldn't help laughing. In fact, she was more optimistic about Zhang Chaoyong. Although his family background was a bit weak, the family size was simple.People will feel more comfortable when they get married.

Because the girls are low-married, the Chu family will definitely make up for it in the dowry.With a dowry in hand, as long as it is not too extravagant, it is more than enough to raise a family.

Li Xiangdong is very kind, but a big family will definitely suck his blood in the future, the officials of the Dasheng Dynasty have meager salaries, and in the end they have to rely on Chu Yu's dowry for support.With Chu Yu's temper, how could it be so easy for this family to suck blood?Then there is bound to be a family war.

Gu Fuyun once again analyzed the pros and cons of the matter for her, but Chu Yu had already made up his mind, so he stopped insisting.

A month later, the fourth girl from the Duke Huguo's Mansion got married, but because it was a low marriage, she didn't make a fuss about it.But the Chu family still prepared a generous dowry, as well as the dowry of the two wives.Although it couldn't compare to Gu Fuyun's ten-mile red makeup, it was enough for Chu Yu to live comfortably for a lifetime.

The low marriage of a girl from the Chu family has mixed risks and opportunities, which can be regarded as an early investment.After the dowry list is filed in the government, there will also be a part of the income from Zhuangzi and the shop, which is clearly marked for use by the husband's family.

Gu Fuyun pointed to the deeds of the two shops: "The Li family's population is not too large, and the expenses are not too big. The income from these two shops located on Yuanping Main Street is enough for the entire Li family to spend. But don't you Foolishly show it all out to honor your in-laws. And this house deed is a small house with two entrances. It is also stated on the dowry that it will be used for you and my uncle to live in in the future. My uncle and your future children can live in it, but the in-law’s family is not allowed to live in it. Yes. Don't foolishly let the Li family think that if you marry into their family, your dowry, including you, belongs to the Li family."

Chu Yu was quite satisfied with the dowry. Another concubine of the Duke's Mansion who was the same age as her really only had a dowry of five thousand taels of silver.She also went to see it herself, and they were all flashy, and there were very few of them that were really used in life.And on her face, the public house only has five thousand taels, but the old lady subsidizes one thousand taels, the outer courtyard subsidizes ten thousand taels of silver, and there are two hundred acres of fertile land, two shops, and one second-entry small house. .

Chu Yu herself is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful. After understanding the prices and living standards of this era, she is already very satisfied with this dowry.For the elder brother Chu Rui, there has also been a big change.

You Qi looked at the marriage letter with the Li family, it was written in black and white that her dowry was at her discretion except for the stipulated income from the shop for her husband's family.The income generated by the shop is also at her disposal, and the Li family has no right to interfere.This means that if she marries into the Li family, she will be able to be the master of the family.Otherwise, the proceeds from the shop would not be used on the Li family.I believe that the Li family will also settle this account. Since they have enjoyed the benefits, they have to give her face.It's not like the daughter-in-law of other farmers' families, who has to serve her parents-in-law before dawn, and has endless housework and laundry every day.

……

Another month later, the Chu family married again, this time to Chu Ling, the sixth daughter of the Chu family's third wife.

Chu Yu, who was already a married woman, looked at the dowry list which was obviously higher than her own, and her face became ugly.

Gu Fuyun then explained: "When your sixth younger sister got married, the public prepared a dowry of [-] taels of silver as usual, and my grandmother subsidized [-] taels of silver, and I added [-] dowry privately. , a house. The rest were bought by your uncles and aunts."

Of course, when Chu Yu and Chu Ling got married, all the houses of the Chu family also added makeup, but the makeup for Chu Yu was not as rich as Chu Ling's.

Chu Yu's expression was gloomy, and it was only then that he realized that the gap between concubines was also huge.

She also knew that the marriage between herself and Chu Ling was all facilitated by Chu Rui.Because it was due to the need for marriage, Chu Rui did not intend to wrong them.Although Chu Rui hated her, he really didn't treat himself badly in terms of dowry.

However, the dowries that Chu Rui prepared for them were slightly different.Although [-] taels of cash was prepared for her, there was only a second-entry house in the house.Really small.

Although Chu Ling only received a subsidy of [-] taels of silver from Chu Rui, Chu Rui gave him a three-entry mansion, which was more than twice as wide as her yard.

This made Chu Yu a little uncomfortable, so he asked.

Gu Fuyun punched her hard: "You idiot. Your eldest brother is doing it for your own good. The Li family has a large population. If you were married to a big house, the Li family would definitely drag the family and move in with you. Believe it or not ?”

Chu Yu was dumbfounded.

"The Zhang family is different. The population of the Zhang family is small, so your elder brother prepared a three-entry mansion for the sixth younger sister. Even if the whole Zhang family moves in, there will be a father and a sister-in-law in total, and it will not affect anything. .Are you sure you want a big house?"

Chu Yu shook his head like a drum.

Gu Fuyun asked again if the Li family treated her well.

Chu Yu was full of dissatisfaction and self-satisfaction, and snorted coldly: "However, among the rural households, which one does not regard the daughter-in-law as private property? Which one does not treat the daughter-in-law as a horse? The Li family also wanted to use me at the beginning, but I can't I'm not a vegetarian. Just say, I married into your family to help you, and it's a low marriage. Don't even think about enjoying my dowry and wanting me to be like other people's wives. You know, you can’t have both. The new daughter-in-law of your clan is indeed a cow and a horse, but I heard that she spent sixty taels of silver to marry her back, and she only married two quilts and two If you like such a daughter-in-law, then I will leave immediately with my dowry, so as not to delay your search for a virtuous wife."

Although the Li family spent a hundred taels of silver to marry their wife back then, compared to Chu Yu's generous dowry, the hundred taels of silver is really not worth mentioning.

Gu Fuyun was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such abilities. It's really amazing." Many modern low-marriage women not only pay for it, but are also not favored by their in-laws. .Gu Fuyun couldn't sympathize with this kind of person.But Chu Yu's performance still surprised her.

"Low marriage has the risk of low marriage, but low marriage also has the advantages of low marriage. That is, you can stand upright and be a man, instead of being low-key like other wives. Don't always think about gaining a reputation for being virtuous and wise. Be a horse and a horse in the husband's family. A low-marriage girl should avoid being a virtuous person." The kind of daughter-in-law who has been calculated by the husband's family is also because she has just married and behaves too virtuously, so that she has grown the appetite of her husband's family.

If you let your husband's family understand that you are not easy to mess with from the beginning, you can save a lot of trouble.
