The fourth girl made the whole family cry again

"Shh!" The eldest lady was naked and went to cover the uncle's mouth. Without paying attention, her whole chest hit her and she almost covered the uncle to death!

"Aren't you afraid that others will hear you?" The eldest lady glanced out the window.

The uncle tried hard to catch his breath before he hummed and said.

"You also know that you are afraid of people hearing it? Then you can still do it!"

They are all daughters, so the uncle must treat the eldest and the three girls equally.

In fact, he didn't pay much attention to either of his daughters.

The eldest lady knows that she is in the wrong, especially since her family status has been declining again and again, and she has no say in the house.

"I'm just asking the third girl. It's not true that her employer has misappropriated her dowry money."

The eldest lady probably felt that she was not confident enough, so she punched the uncle twice.

"Then what do you think we should do? The second girl's dowry is packed with 10,000 taels of silver, the third girl of the Cheng family has 66,000 taels, and that one also has 5,000 taels. Why does our eldest girl only have 3,000 taels!"

The second wife has no shortage of money and wants to support her children. A girl has a dowry of 10,000 taels. What do we have?
Why can't you even get out two thousand taels of private money? you do not know? "

The eldest lady silenced the uncle in just a few words.

He had spent all his salary over the years, and the last thousand taels were all spent because of Aunt Lin and Aunt Xing.

The eldest lady's words exposed his shortcomings and left him speechless.

"What can I do! I begged for the other thousand taels my mother gave me, otherwise I wouldn't even have this!"

The uncle heard that girls from other families had so much dowry, but his girl only had three thousand taels.

It’s all shameless!
"How about you tell Shiren and ask Fang to get some?" the eldest lady suggested.

The uncle turned around and almost fell.

This statement sounds even more unreliable than embezzling the third girl’s one thousand taels of dowry silver!

The father-in-law and the mother-in-law plan to spend all the daughter's dowry on the daughter-in-law, which makes people laugh out loud!

"Are you blushing? How did you treat Fang when he first came home?"

The eldest lady straightened her neck and was very unconvinced.

"As a mother-in-law, why don't I give her some rules? Maybe I can support her like an ancestor!"

Seeing that the eldest lady was stubborn, the eldest man was so angry that he pulled up his clothes and put them on.

"You're still reasonable! It doesn't matter if you don't treat people as ancestors, and you can't become enemies, right? If you were serious about Fang's family at the beginning, and she didn't have enough money, why are you still worrying about a few thousand taels of silver now?"

Seeing the man who had been gentle with her just now, the eldest lady rolled up her sleeves and left, sat up and swept all the bedding to the floor.

If a couple doesn't get along, nothing can be done!
The next day, Zhou Shiren and Mrs. Fang went to the eldest room to pay their respects and send Mrs. Fang away. The eldest lady talked to the eldest young master about the eldest girl's dowry.

"...Your sister only has 3,000 taels of silver in the box, and she will be laughed to death in the capital. Now when she comes to her husband's house, what should she do if her parents-in-law run against her?"

Zhou Shiren looked at the eldest lady in astonishment.

"Mom! Who stipulates that the amount of dowry money can determine whether the parents-in-law treat their daughter-in-law well?
When Mrs. Fang came, her dowry was 660,000 taels, but she didn't see how kind her mother was to her. "

Zhou Shiren said this casually like a joke.

However, the eldest lady's focus is obviously not here.

She almost screamed.

"What? How much dowry money did you say?"

The eldest lady's eyes turned red. She had never heard of anyone with so much money except the princess getting married!
Out of surprise, the eldest lady blurted out the words without thinking.

"Shiren, if you ask Fang to give your eldest sister a small change, that's enough for her!" Zhou Shiren laughed angrily.

He doesn't even have the right to use his wife's dowry money. How dare he speak!

Mrs. Fang just didn't care about her. If she really misappropriated her dowry, she would be sued to the Yamen.

"Mom, are you sure you want to use Fang's money from the dowry to supplement your eldest sister?"

"What's wrong! Can't you? I don't want more, just... twenty thousand taels!"

The eldest lady reluctantly said only a decimal.

Zhou Shiren tried his best to suppress his anger and cooperated with the eldest lady's whims.

"Mom, after using Fang's money, you will really treat her as your ancestor in the future. Have you thought about it?"

"You rebelled against her!" The eldest lady stood up, "With the little money she has, are you going to pawn it off for her?"

That little money?

Zhou Shiren completely put away the smile on his lips.

"Mom! The dowry from my wife's family is recorded. You have to think about it. If you use it now, maybe Fang won't say anything. But in the future, if you don't treat her well at all, she will misappropriate her dowry because of her husband's family. I will report you to the government office, and then not only you, but also my official position will be lost!"

As if she was frightened, the eldest lady took two steps back and sat back in the chair.

"Shiren, can't you be your wife's boss?"

"cannot!"

There was no room for negotiation. After Zhou Shiren said this, he returned to his room.

Today, it was Mu Xiu at the Yamen, and he was doing needlework with Fang at home.

Looking at Mrs. Fang holding the cat-toe boots in her hand and sewing every stitch with great care, her fair face showed peace and tranquility.

Zhou Shiren suddenly remembered the first time the two met.

At that time, the army was anxious with Mandi. The Northern Army was short of food and it looked like it would retreat without a fight due to running out of ammunition and food in another two days.

After withdrawing the army this time, it may be difficult to bring the war closer.

On the second day, the battle situation became even worse. My grandfather on the front line was injured in the abdomen, and the morale of the army was greatly reduced.

Zhou Shiren thought about the vows he made when he came here, and thought about the man's contribution to success and his own career. Who would have thought that his life might be handed down here.

Just when he was exhausted mentally and physically, he heard that a wealthy businessman had arrived at the city gate with grain, grass and medicinal materials and wanted to see his grandfather by name.

His grandfather was seriously injured and could not come out to meet him, so Zhou Shiren met with Fang and his daughter on his behalf.

The Fang family was a well-known wealthy businessman in this generation, and they were in the grain business. When they heard that the army was short of food, they closed all the grain shops and hired all the carriages in the city to pull the grain and purchased herbs to the frontier fortress.

Zhou Shiren was extremely grateful and knelt down in front of Fang and his son on the spot!
He was a majestic seven-foot-long man, kneeling to the sky and the ground, his grandfather, his parents, and for the first time, he knelt to an unrelated person.

Not for anything else, just because Fang can sacrifice small profits for everyone!

The army's food was guaranteed, and the soldiers also had fighting strength. They were already at a critical disadvantage and were easily broken through.

The victory of this battle directly determined that Mandi was gradually defeated in the later period and raised his flag to surrender.

After being in contact for a long time, Zhou Shiren was deeply attracted by Fang's lively and cheerful personality, as well as the reserved personality of a young daughter.

The Fang family's father noticed his daughter's worries and found Zhou Shiren. When he arrived, he got straight to the point.

"I can marry my daughter to you, but there is one condition: I can never put my status over her! If you can't treat her well, my daughter will still be able to live a good life!"
