Chapter 86

At the beginning of Sishi, Yu Zhao finally came to Wanghe Village with his wife and children.

This was the first time Cheng Xue met Zhao's daughter-in-law Wang, and it was all in memory before.

Everyone chatted in the main room for a while, Mrs. Wang pulled Cheng Xue and said:
"Sister-in-law, take me to get acquainted with our family. Brother, explain that you leave early, and I'm afraid I'll forget if you delay."

Like Liu Shi, she is a restless and warm-hearted person.

After the two came out, Cheng Xue briefly introduced to her everything in front of and behind the house, mainly food and firewood, as well as poultry feeding.

After explaining, take her to the next door, and the whole house is vacated for their family to live in as they please.

"...Anyway, the two months we've been away, the family has entrusted you to follow Yu Zhao."

"Sister-in-law's words are too outrageous. I don't even know how to be grateful to you for taking such good care of Yingjie's father. I wish I could help you with this little favor."

Mrs. Wang's personality is similar to Mrs. Liu's. It's because you treat me three-pointedly, and I have to return your five-five-point affection.Very real and sincere.

"The hares and pheasants in the tank outside the house are reserved for you. You have to eat the small green vegetables in the middle of the head, or you will grow old. There are also sauerkraut. Seeing that it is getting warmer every day, it will stink when it ripens."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not being polite to you. By the way, my mother-in-law looked for it in the village about what my sister-in-law said last time. Yu Ni, the old sister of Yu Degui's family, is okay. She is honest, hardworking, capable, and her age It’s comparable to those in your village. But… his family’s wedding ceremony is higher.”

"How much?" Cheng Xue was curious.

Inquire about the current market situation, and when the brats in the family marry their wives, she can also have a comparison.

When Wang showed two fingers, Cheng Xue just wanted to say, "Two taels more?" She never thought——

"20 taels of silver."

"What? So tall?!"

Wang nodded heavily and shook his head helplessly.

"So she never married out."

"This high betrothal gift, it's new to be married." Cheng Xue muttered to herself.

If it was in the previous life, most of the dowry gifts that the woman's family asked for would be sent back to her own daughter.But the farmers of the Liangyan Dynasty obviously couldn't.

What is the concept of 20 taels of silver to farmers?This is not wanting to marry an ordinary person!
Well, should I tell the Dong family?

Seeing her struggle, Mrs. Wang persuaded softly:

"Sister-in-law, go over and say something. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we will do what he told us."

"Okay, then I'll go now, you pack your things first."

Cheng Xue walked out with a messy mind. As for the direction, she had to rely on instinct. Now she was thinking about how to tell the Dong family.After finally being asked once, but doing it... really off the hook!

Before reaching the door of Dong Cheng's house, Guai Niu started to yell "Wow..."His family's dog is bigger than Hu Zi, and they meet occasionally in the morning, and the two little dogs still go crazy together.

The dog that Dong Bin came out to tie was three years younger than Dong Hong, and he is also 17 this year.It is estimated that Dong Hong will have to work on him after finishing his work, and I don't know if there is any letter from Mrs. Guo's sister-in-law.

Inside the house, the kang table has been set up, along with melon seeds and peanuts.Only Dong Cheng and his wife were in the house with Dong Lisong, obviously spending all their children.

Dong Xushi smiled and pulled her onto the kang, saying:
"I thought you had to wait for two days, so there is a letter?"

Both Dong Cheng and Dong Lisong looked at Cheng Xue earnestly, and she was under a lot of pressure at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Dong, Third Brother, and Third Sister-in-law. There is indeed one at my aunt's side, but there are too many demands for betrothal gifts. I... haven't done things well."

"How much does she want?" Dong Cheng asked.

"20 taels."

Xu narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while and said:
"Tie Danniang, is that girl's name Yu Ni and brother's name Yu Degui?"

"Yes, sister-in-law has heard of it?"

"I mentioned it when I gave my uncle Zhang Luo's wife, but the betrothal gift is too high." Xu said while shaking her head.

That's not only too high, it's quite high, okay?It costs 200 taels for her to buy a house in the county.A wedding gift, one-tenth of the house!

Dong Lisong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"Tie Danniang, what did your aunt say to her, is the job successful?"

"My cousin's daughter-in-law came today. She said that the girl is honest, capable, and hardworking, but she asked too much for the wedding ceremony, so she never got married. In fact, we are very clear in our hearts. If his family didn't ask for so much, I guess she Married already."

This is very true, the three of them nodded together and agreed.

"How is Mrs. Guo?" Cheng Xue asked.

Xu: "There are two of them. But one of them is too hard to be considered. Thank your cousin and daughter-in-law for me, and take it as a matter of course."

"It should be, but it didn't get done."

"Why didn't it work?" Dong Lisong smiled and waved his hands, "If this girl is really that good, 20 taels will be 20 taels."

What?What did you hear just now?

In a family with many sons and daughters, hiring a daughter-in-law is a science.If you can't make a bowl of water level, then there can't be too much difference.

She dared to swear that Dong Lisong definitely didn't give 20 taels of silver when Mrs. Xu got engaged to Dong Cheng.When she looked at Dong Xushi, her face was hurt, she couldn't believe it.

It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.Dong Hong is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son, how can he be so popular?

"Boss, take your two younger brothers to Yangjiazhuang and Yujiatun tomorrow, and whoever they like will be whoever they like. Since that family wants to set a dowry gift of 20 taels, then both of their brothers will be 20 taels. Hurry up, Chun Geng Do it when you're done."

Cheng Xue saw it so clearly that Dong Cheng and his wife were not calm, but no one spoke.

"Haha...hahaha..."

Dong Lisong suddenly laughed heartily, making the three of them dumbfounded.

Why are you having fun?

The old man patted Dong Cheng's shoulder heavily——

"Okay, look like a big brother. Mrs. Shuanzi is also fine, look like a sister-in-law."

After finishing speaking, the old man got up and went to the ground, and Cheng Xue also got up, but was stopped by him.

"Sit down for a while, help me be a witness, and go back and tell your neighbor, I'm not partial."

Uh...how did you say that?
Soon, Dong Lisong came back with a box.

"It contains all the money I have spent on treating people and selling medicine over the years, a total of 55 taels. When I hired Shuan Ziniang, I spent seven taels. Today, my father will give you 15 taels. The remaining 40 taels will be given to the old man. Second, third child, do you two have any objections?"

"Father who doesn't need love, don't listen to my mother's nonsense, she just has a bad mouth." Xu shook her head quickly.

People are contradictions.It’s unfair not to make up, and I feel embarrassed if I make up.

Dong Cheng on the side couldn't help shaking his head, closed the box and said:

"Father, you earned it yourself, don't give it to us, we don't want it."

"Why not? I can't take the money away after I die. Why don't you share it with the three of you? Instead of taking what you deserved at that time, why don't I give it now, and you can still think of me well."
