Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 37 128 Carrying the Dowry

Chapter 37 120

Now that the trolley was settled, Mo Qianrui felt much more at ease.As long as the weather is fine, even if it is not a market day, she can push the cart to sell.However, considering that I am still young, I can only go together when Father is free.Fortunately, it is now the slack season, and Dad has a lot of free time to toss with her.

Thinking about something in her mind, Mo Qianrui didn't forget the burn medicine she bought from the doctor for external application in the afternoon, and it went into the portable space at night.

"My God!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mo Qianrui entered the space, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.

After so many days, Mo Qianrui couldn't be more clear about where and what is in the space.The place she often goes to is the small courtyard and the eight small square fields in front of the small courtyard, and occasionally goes to the stream to wash her hands and so on.

And there is a big lawn from Xiaofangtian to the creek. The grass on the lawn is very soft, not like the weeds that grow on the field at home, but like the ornamental lawns in the parks in the past life, not to mention beautiful. , It is very comfortable to step on.Generally, when Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu had something to say, they would choose to sit or lie on the lawn.But now, it was the things on the lawn that completely frightened Mo Qianrui.

Trotting from the entrance of the yard to the lawn, Mo Qianrui looked at the hundreds of pure wooden boxes on the lawn with embarrassment.

She didn't know anything about wood. If it was a mature tree, she might be able to tell the difference, but this kind of wood that had been made into a wooden box was completely blackened.After touching and knocking, Mo Qianrui could only conclude that the wood was of the highest quality, at least much better than the thousands of pieces of wooden furniture she bought to decorate her new house in her previous life.

Hundreds of pure wooden boxes are densely crowded on the lawn, which looks particularly spectacular.Mo Qianrui counted, and there were a total of 120 eight lifts.

Mo Qianrui became interested and opened the box closest to her, but it was full of cloth.It wasn't the unevenly dyed cotton and linen she was wearing, but silk and satin with bright colors and excellent texture.

Could it be that Tang Yanxiu robbed Buzhuang?
After being stunned for a long time, Mo Qianrui closed the cloth box and opened the other one, which contained utensils.It's not the pots and pans of the Mo family, but the utensils for decoration.There are twig-wrapped incense burners for incense, large vases with wide belly and narrow mouth, Ruyi with gold and jade, and complete sets of tea sets.

Afterwards, Mo Qianrui opened several more boxes, including ready-made clothes, complete sets of quilts, etc., which were so delicate that Mo Qianrui felt that what she was using now was rubbish.

"Xiaorui, I'm here."

Mo Qianrui looked up at Tang Yanxiu blankly: "Yanxiu, where did you loot?"

Hearing this, Tang Yanxiu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He wanted to refute but had to admit that Mo Qianrui's guess was right.Reluctantly, he came over and knocked on the wooden box, saying: "All the boxes are made of 20-year-old fir wood, and these boxes alone are worth a lot of money."

"I don't know anything about fir trees. I only know that the contents of any one box are more valuable than all my family's belongings." Mo Qianrui closed the lid casually. She didn't have any greed, she was just discussing the facts.

"Then I'll give it all to you, okay?" Tang Yanxiu smiled, her expression was not as decadent as yesterday, but the tiredness in her eyes did not decrease.

"Yan Xiu, tell me first, where did these things come from?"

The lawn was occupied by boxes, Tang Yanxiu took Mo Qianrui to the yard, and sat on a stone bench to chat slowly.

It turned out that these things were the dowry of Tang Yanxiu's cousin.However, most of it came from his mother's original dowry.More than ten years ago, Tang Yanxiu's mother married Tang Yanxiu's father with a large dowry. The first few years were pretty good, but unfortunately they both passed away shortly after Tang Yanxiu was born.Afterwards, Tang Yanxiu grew up under the care of his uncle and aunt.

This is similar to Tang Yanxiu's life experience in his previous life. The difference is that his uncle and aunt did not live with his grandfather in his previous life, so Tang Yanxiu stayed at his uncle's and aunt's house for a period of time before being sent to his grandfather in the countryside.And after his grandfather passed away, he was sent back to his uncle and aunt again, and within a few months he was sent away again, this time to Mo Qianrui's orphanage.

If it is said that Tang Yanxiu's uncle and aunt only took 10,000+ of his father's money in the previous life, then this time the amount is even bigger.Not only his father's money, but also his mother's dowry.

"Xiaorui, in fact, my grandfather would not have passed away so soon. It was only because he talked to my uncle about property inheritance two days ago and was so angry that he suddenly became seriously ill." Tang Yanxiu said somewhat Difficult, with grief in his expression.

"That's why your uncle killed you?" Mo Qianrui suddenly remembered the burn medicine she bought this afternoon, and quickly took it out, "Let me apply the medicine first."

"No need, I scared them a lot today, and I picked a very good time, my uncle was forced to ask a very famous old doctor to treat my injury, and I'm fine now." Tang Yanxiu teased Rolling up his sleeves, he showed Mo Qianrui the tightly bandaged wound, and said, "Actually, the person who killed me was my aunt. She didn't want me to share her son's money."

Under Tang Yanxiu's explanation, Mo Qianrui knew that the rule of this dynasty was the primogeniture system.Of course, the eldest son here refers to the eldest son. Under normal circumstances, the eldest son can inherit at least [-]% of the entire family's property.And the other legitimate sons can only inherit a small part of the property, let alone the bastard son.As for the daughter, part of the dowry of the aunt is paid by the family, and the rest is paid by the aunt.Concubine daughters have very little dowry, which is almost negligible.

Tang Yanxiu's father is the eldest son of the Tang family, and he is his father's only direct son, which means that under normal circumstances, he can inherit at least [-]% of the entire Tang family's property.The rest was inherited by his uncles and cousins.

According to Tang Yanxiu's grandfather's idea, considering that Tang Yanxiu was young and had committed a foolish problem a few years ago, he hoped to divide the property into two equal shares.Tang Yanxiu inherited one, and Tang Yanxiu's uncle inherited the other.

This in itself already favored Tang Yanxiu's uncle, but his uncle was still unwilling.Under the dispute, Tang Yanxiu's grandfather died of a serious illness.Mo Qianrui knew everything after that.

"So you brought all these dowries in?"

Subconsciously looking out from the small courtyard, the lawn is still some distance away from the small courtyard, but from this angle, a large pile of dowry boxes are densely packed on the lawn, which is particularly conspicuous.

Mo Qianrui suddenly began to sympathize with Tang Yanxiu's cousin. When she knew Tang Yanxiu in her previous life, Tang Yanxiu had cut off contact with her uncle's family and never saw each other again, so Mo Qianrui didn't know his cousin and her uncle's family. Cousin, but this can't eliminate her inexplicable compassion.

In this era, the importance of dowry to women is needless to say. After finally getting together the 120 dowries, all of them disappeared suddenly, not to mention how big the loss was and whether it could be made up for. Anyway, the psychological shadow It must be hard to erase for a lifetime.

"Anyway, most of these dowries are left by my mother. This woman's dowry can only be inherited by her own children. If she has never given it in her life, she can only carry it back to her natal family to be inherited by her relatives. Anyway, with My cousin has nothing to do with her, so of course I can't leave it to her."

What Tang Yanxiu said was straightforward, but Mo Qianrui could understand what he meant.Just think about it, this preparation for marriage cannot be a matter of a day or two. Before yesterday, Tang Yanxiu had never mentioned this matter at all, obviously he didn't care much about it.But today they suddenly got into trouble, presumably because of the fire last night.

"That's right, it's already been torn apart, even if it's a good deed, it can't be left to the enemy."

"Hmph, I specially picked a good time. Tomorrow my cousin will get married, and today is the day to make a house. I picked such a good time to start. She must be crying to death by now."

Mo Qianrui froze for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong.After thinking about it carefully, Tang Yanxiu just told her yesterday that his grandfather passed away, so why is his cousin getting married tomorrow?
After expressing his question, Tang Yanxiu just snorted disdainfully.

It turns out that the news of Tang Yanxiu's grandfather's death has not been announced until now. The main reason is that his cousin's marriage has already been settled. It is not auspicious to delay the marriage, but it happened that his grandfather passed away. According to the law, his cousin must keep a filial piety. three years.

"Don't you need to keep filial piety after you get married?"

"A married woman only needs to observe filial piety for one year, and it is impossible for her husband's family to divorce her because of my cousin's filial piety." Tang Yanxiu explained lightly, and then said with some gloating, "Now that she has lost her dowry, these The dowry will not be made up for a while. It is impossible for the Tang family to say that the dowry is lost. Now they can only announce the news of my grandfather's death and postpone the wedding on the grounds of filial piety. I don't want her to be filial piety, but I can't see how she looks shy. After three years of filial piety, even if my quasi-cousin-in-law won't resign, it's hard to guarantee that she won't pick up a few more beauties in the house."

"Beauty?" Mo Qianrui narrowed her eyes slightly.

Tang Yanxiu was almost choked to death by his own saliva, and hurriedly cursed and swore that he just said this casually, and absolutely had no such idea.It's not that Mo Qianrui doubts him, after all, so what if a ten-year-old child has ideas?Of course, those who should be warned have to be warned. By the way, Mo Qianrui also mentioned what happened in her family these days.He didn't go into details yesterday, but Mo Qianrui wants to talk about it now, especially to prove that he is not unwanted.

However, Mo Qianrui was pissed off by her crow's mouth the next day, she might as well be nobody wants her!
