Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 497 On the Importance of Private Money

Although the loneliness in Hui Niang's eyes was only fleeting, Mo Qianrui still noticed this detail.

At that moment, Mo Qianrui asked suspiciously: "Huiniang, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you are worried about Erya and Sandun's marriage? But I look fine."

"How come? They are naturally excellent." Seeing that Mo Qianrui had misunderstood, Hui Niang hurriedly explained.

"then you……"

Only halfway through, Mo Qianrui stopped talking suddenly.If it wasn't because of the marriage between Erya and Li Sandun, then there would only be the "dowry" that she just mentioned unintentionally.Could it be that Hui Niang doesn't have a dowry?But it shouldn't be, aside from other things, in the past few years, Huiniang has been working in Sanchuan Road, Mingyue Town, and she can save a lot of money for her dowry on her own.

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Qianrui couldn't help but speak out the doubts in his heart.

No, after hearing this, Hui Niang was silent for a while, and then she let out a long sigh, and then said reluctantly: "Big girl, I have a dowry, but it's not much. Lin has almost no savings..."

Yes, family property issues.

These days, when girls get married, they usually have a dowry.It's just that the dowry is only used as a facade when the girl's family gets married, and no family will rely on the woman's dowry to live.

Of course, for those really wealthy families, such as Tang Yanxiu's cousin's 120 dowry, it is very heavy, even if it is used for two or three lifetimes, it will be more than enough to deal with.But after all, it is a minority among the minority, and it has never happened in the area of ​​Yangliu Village.

Even if Erya gets married in the future, no matter how much makeup Mo Qianrui puts on, it is estimated to be only three to five hundred taels, no more is impossible.

In this way, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the dowry to support the whole family for a lifetime.

In fact, in Yangliu Village, when many girls get married, they hardly bring dowry.In most cases, the dowry is used as a dowry, and in a few cases, like the Mo family's mother, all the dowry was corrupted by the natal family, and only one person married into the husband's family.

As for Hui Niang, Mo Qianrui thought in private that it would be pretty good to have twenty or thirty pennies as a dowry.

Twenty or thirty pennies, if all of them were exchanged for big iron coins, there would be quite a lot.Or stay in the village all the time, and it can be used for many years.But if it was in Mingyue Town, including the cost of renting a house, as well as food and drink expenses, etc., I am afraid that it would not last for two or three years.Not to mention, if they really want to get married, Huiniang will have children in the future.

"Huiniang, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Besides, I've never heard of any family that relies entirely on the woman's dowry. A Lin is a man, and it's his responsibility to support his family."

Now, Mo Qianrui can only comfort Hui Niang like this.

Thanks to this era, it is advocating that men work hard to support their families outside, and women give birth to children and take care of housework at home.Mo Qianrui was right to say this.

Unfortunately, reason is not the same as fact.

Hearing what Mo Qianrui said, Huiniang just smiled wryly.

"Girl, Ah Lin doesn't have any skills, and he used to run errands in the shop. The stewards paid him a lot of money for the sake of uncle, eighty yuan a day. But the money, Eating and drinking is enough, but renting a yard is not enough."

"This……"

"Also, there is a Xiaoxi at home. Xiaoxi has a good temper and can do chores, but one more person in the family means one more mouth. Not to mention, Xiaoxi is also ten years old this year, and in a few years she will I'm getting married too."

"Then what's the matter with you?" Mentioning the question of my sister-in-law, Mo Qianrui couldn't help but think of her little aunt of the Mo family, and said immediately, "At first, my little aunt also lived with us, but later she also married out. Yes, and it didn't cost much money. Xiao Xi looks a little more ordinary, but she has a good temper and is diligent, which is much better than my little aunt."

"Pfft, your little aunt..."

Even though the best Mo Xiaomei from the Mo family has only lived in Yangliu Village for a short time, she is a celebrity in the village.

It's just that it has a bad reputation.

"Really? Even my little aunt can marry, so Xiao Xi can naturally."

"Oh, big girl, your little aunt doesn't want your grandma and your grandpa's joy, so she can do whatever she wants, anyway, you and your family don't care about her own thoughts. But what about Xiao Xi? By the way, did Ling Niang tell you? You, that evening, she told Ah Lin that she would give half of her dowry to Xiao Xi?"

"What?" Mo Qianrui was shocked.

Regardless of whether it was the previous life or this life, sister-in-law's dowry has absolutely nothing to do with sister-in-law.In fact, regardless of the number of successors, there has never been a place for sister-in-law.

In this era, generally speaking, a woman's dowry is inherited by her daughter. Of course, if the mother is partial, it is also allowed to give the dowry to her son.

But if there are no biological children, the natal family can request the return of the dowry after the woman passes away.

"You were also surprised, right? I was already mad at the time, but I didn't pay special attention to it. Later, when I calmed down, I remembered that." Hui Niang frowned, looking very troubled, "I'm worried that Ah Lin has already remembered this in his heart. When Xiao Xi gets married in the future, he may ask me to share half of the dowry with Xiao Xi."

Mo Qianrui thought about it carefully, and it was indeed possible.

In fact, whether the sister-in-law has status in the brother-in-law's family depends on the attitude of the brother.

A Lin was extremely concerned about Xiao Xi, the only biological sister, so he naturally wanted to make decisions for her. In contrast, Hui Niang could only choose to be patient, unless she didn't want to live anymore.

But the little aunt of the Mo family back then was not like that at all.The father and grandmother of the Mo family didn't want to see her at all, the mother of the Mo family chose to ignore her, and the two sisters Mo Qianrui didn't pay attention to her. Naturally, the little aunt of the Mo family didn't care about her at home. status.

After figuring out Huiniang's situation, Mo Qianrui wanted to oppose the marriage again.But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

Now that Huiniang is determined to get married, instead of saying those bad words, it's better to help her think of a good way to use it.

"Conceal it."

"Big girl, what did you say?"

"I asked you to hide the specific amount of the dowry. As long as it is not on the public face, no one will know about it. For example, you can buy a few silver hairpins and gold hairpins, or just a few silver hairpins. The ticket is hidden close to your body. It is convenient and can prevent A Lin from planning your dowry in the future."

Hui Niang stared blankly at Mo Qianrui and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's the matter? Or are you planning to put the dowry on the bright side to save face?"

Mo Qianrui looked at Hui Niang hesitantly, she was a little uncertain what Hui Niang was thinking.After all, not everyone is like her, who likes to bury meat in rice.In fact, in this era, the dowry represents the face of the bride.

Not to mention hiding the money, many girls get married, and the dowry is very beautiful.

For example, copper hairpins are plated with a layer of silver powder, or there are a bunch of cheap goods in the dowry box, and only some good-looking things are placed on the top.

If Huiniang had the same plan, then Mo Qianrui would have no choice.

No, after Huiniang came back to her senses, she was so excited that she grabbed Mo Qianrui's hand, and her voice trembled a little: "Big girl, you are still the smartest, yet you can come up with such a good idea! Can you come up again?" Tell me, is there any other good way to hide money? It’s best to be the kind that can’t be taken away even if someone finds it.”

With a black thread on her head, Mo Qianrui began to teach Hui Niang how to store private money.

Having said that, it turns out that people these days are so simple that they don't know how to hide private money at all.Recalling the box of iron and copper coins that Mo's grandma was looted by Mo's little aunt, Mo Qianrui began to regret deeply.

It turned out that it wasn't that the Mo family's grandma was too stupid, but that everyone these days was stupid.

With a spontaneous sense of superiority in IQ, Mo Qianrui taught Hui Niang all the secrets without any secrets, and easily got Hui Niang's adoring eyes.

After leaving Hui Niang's house, Mo Qianrui did not go back to Li's compound, but went straight to Mo's house.

Mo Qianrui really didn't need to worry about Hui Niang's dowry, but she still had to take time to care about Er Ya, her own sister.

As a result, as soon as Mo Qianrui entered the courtyard, he saw Erya's miserable face.

"What's the matter with you, Erya? Oh, are you busy embroidering the dowry?"

Mo Qianrui reviewed Er Ya's achievements in the past few days with a scrutinizing gaze.Naturally, because of the supervision of Mo's grandma, Erya's achievements are very gratifying.

Nodding in satisfaction, Mo Qianrui commented on Erya's embroidery in a tone like pointing Jiangshan, and then, under the disdainful eyes of Mo's grandma and Erya, said: "Just a few more The new year is coming, Er Ya, you can help your nephew make some clothes. You don’t need too many tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats. One person and two clothes are enough. By the way, remember to make a few more shoes Shuang, children grow up fast, so it’s good to have five or six pieces of various sizes. Erya, you have to remember, it’s one piece for each person, you can’t be partial.”

Erya: "..."

Sister, do you still remember that there are four tigers in your family?

Completely ignoring Erya's shocked and desperate eyes, Mo Qianrui turned to Mo's grandma and said to herself: "Grandma, do you want new clothes for the New Year? Don't worry, fabric, cotton, and needlework." I will come up with everything else, the rest..."

"I want it, as well as your father, mother, son of a bitch, they all want it."

It's an idiot to not take advantage of it!

The grandma of the Mo family didn't wait for Mo Qianrui to finish her sentence, she immediately made a decision.As for who will do it, there is no need to think about it at all.In fact, even if Mo Qianrui wanted to do it herself, she wouldn't dare to do it herself!
