Chapter 66 The Dowry
Seeing Yan Shi walking in, Gu Jiujiu subconsciously said, "Mother, are you back?"

"Yeah!" Yan nodded, and then walked to the stove to help Gu Jiujiu cook together.

"That's right!" Gu Jiujiu thought about what Sister Yuan said about Yan's going to Gu's house, so she asked casually, "I don't know, why did Aunt Liu tell you to go back home?"

"It's not about your little aunt!" Yan Shi said while grabbing a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled them in the pot.

"Didn't it mean that the Gu family has agreed to her marrying that scholar?" Gu Jiujiu remembered Yan's saying this last time.

"Originally, the Gu family agreed to this marriage, but something went wrong now!" As Yan Shi spoke, she took a clean porcelain bowl and scooped the pig's trotters into it.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiujiu heard this, and a hint of puzzlement flashed across his face.

Yan glanced at Gu Jiujiu, and explained a few words briefly, "The Wang family has not come to propose marriage for a long time, and the Gu family sent someone to inquire about it, and only then did I know that the scholar's brothers and sisters surnamed Wang have a total of seven or eight brothers and sisters." One, there are only a few thatched huts in the family, among the brothers, only the elder brother married a wife, and none of the sisters married well, and the family is almost poor. From time to time, a few sisters have to go home to get some Go back!"

Hearing this, Gu Jiujiu immediately raised an eyebrow.She thought to herself, if her little aunt Gu Baozhu really married into the Wang family, she might not have a better life in the future.

Yan brought the pig's trotters in the bowl to the table, and continued: "The Wang family knew that your little aunt was pregnant with a child, so not only did they not offer the employment, but they asked the Gu family to give a dowry of ten taels of silver first! Your grandfather was Angrily kicked out the scholar surnamed Wang, saying that the marriage was over! However, your little aunt is determined to marry into the Wang family."

"..." When Yan Shi said the rest, Gu Jiujiu fell silent.The Wang family is already like this, and the little aunt in this body actually wants to marry?

Without saying anything, when Yan went to get the bowls and chopsticks, she suddenly found that the half of the pork on the stove was gone, she couldn't help but looked at Gu Jiujiu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, why is the half of the pork I put in the bowl missing?" gone?"

"I saw it was gone when I came back from the market!" Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan Shi, "Not only is the half of the meat gone, but also the half bowl of stewed chicken with radish left over from last night, and a pile of it was vomited on the ground bones, and the stove was covered with chicken broth!"

Thinking that her sixth younger brother-in-law, Mrs. Chu, had been to their kitchen this morning, now, Mrs. Yan knows without saying that Mrs. Chu must have done it.

"Sister, can I have dinner?" At this moment, Sister Yuan walked in from the outside with her short legs.Seeing Yan's return, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he ran to Yan's side, "Mother, when did you come back?"

"Just came back for a while!" After finishing speaking, Yan looked at Sister Yuan and smiled, "You go and call Yan Geer and your brother-in-law over, and we can have dinner!"

"Oh!" Sister Yuan obediently agreed, and then walked out with short legs.

After Sister Yuan left, Gu Jiujiu thought that she had spent some of the [-] Wen she got from selling jerky today, so she took out the rest of the money and handed it to Yan Shi, "Mother, this It’s the money for selling jerky today, you keep it for your own use!”
