Chapter 10

Although Song Wei and his party had left, the Wen family was still bustling with activity.

A few tables were set up before, but now the empty plates have been taken away, and peanuts and melon seeds candies and tea are replaced.

The men chattered nonsense, while the women surrounded the Zhou family, envious of the Song family's dowry, and stuffed baskets of beautiful words into Zhou's ears for free.

Some people say that Wen Wan is good looking, and that pretty appearance is only right if she stands with Saburo Song.

There were also people who praised Mrs. Zhou as a kind stepmother, who raised her stepdaughter to be as beautiful as a peach, and that's why she caught the attention of Saburo of the Song family. If it wasn't for this, the marriage would not have been possible.

Mrs. Zhou was already happy when she saw that Qian's eyes were wide open, but after being praised like this, she almost floated into the sky. She changed her previous style of digging and searching, and before she left, she handed out a large handful of peanut candies Block, let take it back to coax the children.

After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Zhou called Wen Shun together, and returned the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks to Mrs. Wen. After returning, she entered the main room and saw Mrs. Wen sitting on the kang without saying a word. She leaned over and said, "Master, I Discuss something with you."

Father Wen raised his eyelids.

Mrs. Zhou went on to say, "I'm thinking about it. When the spring comes, I'll send Shunzi to study in the village school. Do you think so?"

Father Wen knew what she was up to, "We can't keep all the gift money from the Song family, we have to allocate half of it as a dowry."

Saying you want to send out the money as soon as you get it?Zhou was directly annoyed, "What? Half?"

The total is only 36 taels of silver, and half of it is gone, so there is nothing left!

Which girl has so many dowries?

No, this thing can't be done like this!
She didn't think about it at all, if Wen Wan really married Cripple Wang, she would only get five taels of silver.

"The Song family has a lot of betrothal gifts." Father Wen said, "We should also express it, otherwise Wanniang will not be able to stand in her in-law's house in the future if the dowry is reduced."

Mrs. Song's bad temper is notoriously difficult to get along with in this area. She is bitter, mean, superstitious and stingy. It is said that picking a husband and a son-in-law is also picking on the mother-in-law.

Song Wei's husband is quite good, but he was born with such a mother.

The mother-in-law can't be picky, so she can only do enough courtesy on her own side, lest Mrs. Song keep picking on her daughter-in-law.

Zhou's face was pained, "But half is too much."

"If Wanniang doesn't marry, you won't even see half a penny." Father Wen's face was not very good-looking.

Zhou's heart suddenly turned cold.

People say that where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, but in Wen's family, even if her stepmother has given birth to a son to gain a foothold, Wen Wan's girl who lost her mother when she was young is still the heart of her man. no.Now that she is going to get married, his man is still thinking about planning for her future life. Why doesn't he think that Shunzi will also spend money to marry a wife when she grows up?If so much money is bet on a married girl Pianzi, apart from looking better, what benefits can I get from my side?
Are you afraid that Wen Wan will have a hard time in the future?
To put it bluntly, for a dumb person like Wen Wan who can't even speak, even if you buy her a dowry of 80 taels of silver, who will she marry and be bullied?
Complaining turned to complaining, Zhou looked at Father Wen's tough face, but still didn't dare to confront him, reluctantly counted half of the money and handed it to Father Wen.

Song Wei and the others returned to Shanghe Village. Father Song's own sister and Aunt Xie were also there, talking with Mrs. Song in the same room.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mrs. Song came out to greet her. Seeing the three cousins ​​with empty hands, their faces drooped, "What's the matter, our family is going to hire, and the Wen family doesn't want to find something to send you away? Their house Little stepmother, is it possible that you are more stingy than this old woman like me?"

Brothers Xie Zheng and Xie Tao couldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, they all looked at Song Wei with their eyes.

Song Weiyang smiled slightly, "The Wen family only raised a daughter for 15 years. Now our family walks around casually, and they will give up the love. They promise to give the heart that has been hurt for 15 years to your son as a wife, and I won't pick on you anymore." After a pause, he added, "At the end of the day, people are looking at the mother's generosity."

Mrs. Song couldn't say no to him, and snorted, "You're the only one who makes a lot of nonsense all day long!"

Aunt Xie stood at the door and watched. Although her sister-in-law's face was still tough, her attitude had obviously softened a lot. It can be seen that hearing this made the sister-in-law feel at ease, and she couldn't help but click tut twice. The third nephew is very good at talking. ah!

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Xie grabbed her youngest son Xie Tao by the ear, "Listen, learn from your third cousin, and don't be led by your nose to contradict your old lady all day long, let me tell you , if she still dares to be a monster in the future, you see, I can't kill her or me!"

Xie Tao was humiliated by his old lady in public, and pouted, "Look at me, can I compare with my third cousin?"

The third cousin is a scholar, and he is just digging into the soil to eat his muddy legs. Compared with this, isn't the damage a bit too much?
-

Song Erlang's daughter-in-law next door heard that Song Wei was going to marry a mute, and she lost her temper with laughter. Now she saw that the hired man came back, and came to visit with her family's Sanya in her arms, and happened to bump into Mrs. Song coming out to pour water.

When Mrs. Song saw her, she had no good face, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't this Sanlang going to hire today? I'm thinking about coming over."

"It's not your son who hired me, what are you looking for?"

When Mrs. Song hurts people, she is not ambiguous at all, she only exposes people's scars, and pokes wherever it hurts.

Song Erlang's daughter-in-law, who was unable to give birth to a son, had a stiff face, "Mother, Sanlang is my brother-in-law after all, and he hasn't married a wife for so many years, and now it's finally settled. I am concerned about what happened to him?"

Mrs. Song spat at her, "When you want to care, you put aside the sarcastic remarks. Now that they are getting married, it's none of your business!"

The reason why Song Erlang and his wife separated from the old man was because of the death of Song Dalang and his wife.

Song Erlang's daughter-in-law thought that Song Sanlang's life was a crime, not to mention the girl's death, but also killed her own brother and sister-in-law. She was afraid that Song Wei would be killed by her man one day, so she urged Song Erlang to make a fuss In one case, we shared the land and money with the old man, built a partition wall in the middle, and passed by on one side.

In these years, except for the New Year's Day, I basically don't come here.

When Song Dalang and his wife died, Mrs. Song and Father Song saw how broken Song Wei was. At that time, shouldn't parents and sisters-in-law comfort him more?This second daughter-in-law is fine, she keeps blowing pillow talk with her man, saying that Saburo's life is bad, and that he is forbidden to marry. Lai Sanlang is overwhelmed.

Mrs. Song scolded the second daughter-in-law bloody at that time, but it was still useless. Song Erlang listened to his daughter-in-law and wanted to separate from the old man.

Mrs. Song was chilled, and regardless of Father Song's dissuasion, she gave the share to the second room and asked the couple to take their things and leave.

It can be seen from this that it is not unreasonable to be scolded by the mother-in-law when Song Sanlang is hired today and Song Erlang's daughter-in-law rushes to come forward.
