Chapter 88 Parents
In order to get the dowry from the Song family, Du Yu persuaded his parents to go to Yan's house to pick up Du Yuanniang for marriage.After Du Yuanniang learned about it, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky hit her head. After crying a lot, she hurriedly went to find Mrs. Yan.

But Yan Li had already ordered that everything related to the Du family, except for the important matters of human life, must not bother the old lady Yan, and everything was left to Qi Tanying.

Du Yuanniang failed to see her aunt, so she had to go to the main courtyard to ask Qi Tanying for help.

After seeing Qi Tanying, he plopped and knelt down in front of her, "Cousin-in-law, you must help Yuanniang."

Qi Tanying was taken aback, and quickly helped her up, "What's wrong?"

Du Yuanniang told her her parents' plan, and Qi Tanying still didn't understand what she heard. Uncle Du and Aunt Du must have been greedy for the bride price from the Song family, so they wanted to take Du Yuanniang to Xinghua Lane to prepare for marriage.

What they didn't know was that Mrs. Yan, the dowry gift of the Song family, had planned for a long time. When Du Yuanniang got married, the dowry would be sent back to the Song family as part of the dowry, which would be Du Yuanniang's confidence in the future.

Seeing Du Yuanniang's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Qi Tanying took her to Xinghua Lane.

Xinghua Lane, the old house of the Yan family
Du Yu went out early in the morning, only Uncle Du and Aunt Du were in the old house.When Qi Tanying and Du Yuanniang went, they were imagining the beautiful life after getting the dowry.

Uncle Du said: "Once the betrothal gift is received, our family will have the capital to make a comeback. Within five years, we will be able to restore our former wealth and status, and we will no longer have to rely on others."

"Just rely on your pig brain, don't lose all the dowry when you get the dowry."

Aunt Du gave her husband a blank look, and talked about her own thoughts, "Let me tell you, this betrothal gift should all be used to find a way for Brother Yu. If Brother Yu has a future, we can enjoy the blessings too!"

Uncle Du hesitated after hearing this: "That can't be all given to him, we still have to keep some in our hands."

Aunt Du warned her husband: "Brother Yu was ordered by the master at the beginning, saying that he will have great fortune in the future. If your selfishness affects your son, see if I will take your skin off."

Uncle Du and Aunt Du's plan made Qi Tanying, an outsider, unable to listen to it, let alone Du Yuanniang.

Her heart felt like a heavy boulder was being pressed down, and it was also like someone had cut her flesh with a blunt knife, making her feel stuffy and painful.

Qi Tanying patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be sad, it's not worth it."

Du Yuanniang nodded.

Qi Tanying strode in, and Uncle Du and Aunt Du were shocked when they saw her.

Aunt Du said sharply, "You actually overheard us."

When Qi Tanying heard the words, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Uncle and aunt are really good at planning."

"There are so many parents in the world, some want their daughters to be happy, and some are like leeches, sucking blood from their daughters. What's even more ridiculous is that they take all the blood they suck from their daughters. Feed the son."

Qi Tanying looked at Uncle Du and Aunt Du mockingly, "Aren't you afraid of hurting your daughter's heart?"

Aunt Du's eyes fell on Du Yuanniang, with a look of disdain: "Daughters are losers, and after they get married, they belong to another family. The incense of our Du family still depends on our son."

After finishing speaking, he raised his voice again, "This is our Du family's business, it's not up to you, an outsider, to meddle in other people's business."

Uncle Du also said: "Yes, Yuan Niang is a girl from my Du family, and the Song family's dowry should be handled by us parents."

Qi Tanying found it funny.

"Aunt and uncle's words do have some truth." She laughed and said, "You are Yuan Niang's parents, so you should indeed receive the dowry."

Uncle Du and Aunt Du looked at each other in disbelief.

Qi Tanying looked at them, and changed the topic, "In this case, Yuan Niang's dowry should also be prepared by you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Du blurted out: "This marriage was arranged for her by you, and the dowry should be paid by you."

"At the beginning, my elder sister said that Yugeer and Yuanniang's marriage was decided by her, and the dowry and bride price of their brothers and sisters should also be paid by the Yan family." Uncle Du quoted what Old Madam Yan had said.

With such a shameless behavior, Qi Tanying didn't know what to say for a while.

The words and words of her parents were like needles piercing Du Yuanniang's heart, and her face turned pale in an instant.I wanted to say something, but my throat seemed to be tightly choked, and I couldn't utter a word.

She looked at Qi Tanying helplessly.

Qi Tanying gave her a comforting look, and then said to Uncle Du and Aunt Du: "The dowry is not paid out, but the betrothal gift must be kept. How can you be such parents in the world?"

She didn't want to talk to them, and said bluntly: "You don't need to pay the dowry for Yuan Niang, but the Song family will give you [-]% of the dowry at most, and the rest will be added to the dowry."

"No."

How could Aunt Du agree, "A dowry is a dowry, and there is no one who treats a dowry as a dowry. I will not agree."

Qi Tanying glanced at her, "Thirty percent is enough, Aunt, you must know how to be content."

"You, a junior, dare to teach me a lesson?" Aunt Du was annoyed, "Although you married into the Yan family, it's not your turn to be the master of the Yan family. I'm going to see Sister A and let her take care of you, a lawless person. daughter-in-law."

After finishing speaking, I will go out.

The smile on Qi Tanying's face disappeared, and she said coldly, "If you don't want to be driven back to Wansu, just go."

Aunt Du stopped in her tracks.

Qi Tanying said again: "My husband said that my mother is not in good health. If you make her angry, those cheated family fortunes will never be recovered."

When Uncle Du heard this, he quickly pulled his wife back, and said in a low voice, "Don't be stupid, if you can't get back your money, wouldn't your dowry be all in vain?"

After speaking, he changed his smiling face and looked at Qi Tanying, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, is there any news about a liar at Brother Li?"

Qi Tanying glanced at him, "I'm here today for Yuan Niang's marriage."

Uncle Du was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, it's according to my nephew and daughter-in-law. We only need [-]% of the Song family's dowry."

No matter how generous the dowry gift is, it cannot be worth the entire wealth of the Du family.

Compared with Uncle Du's understanding of current affairs, Aunt Du firmly disagreed, she wanted the bride price, and she also wanted the family wealth.

It is impossible for Qi Tanying to agree to her request, just ask Uncle Du who is in charge of the Du family?
Uncle Du has always listened to Aunt Du, but this time, in order to get back home wealth as soon as possible, regardless of Aunt Du's objection, he agreed to Qi Tanying's proposal.

Qi Tanying took out the prepared document and invited two neighbors to be witnesses. After reading it, Uncle Du stamped his own seal on the end of the document, and the two witnesses also pressed their own fingerprints.

There were two copies of the document, one for Uncle Du, and the other was brought back to Yan's house by Qi Tanying.
