Chapter 1577 has its own calculations

Cheng Xiaomei had long regarded what Tang Ailian got back as hers.

But now, the box that was supposed to be quietly taken back to the room was intercepted by Tang Ailian, and the things in the box were taken out one by one. What kind of painting is it, she doesn't like it anyway, but such a large piece of cloth was given to the dead old lady, saying that it was distributed by her, and it didn't fall into the hands of the big house?

Even if the old lady divides it equally, it will be unfair, after all, Ping Yu'an, a dead girl, belongs to the second room.

However, in front of her husband, she couldn't say it.

I could only watch the two old things go back to the big room with the things that belonged to the second room.

However, what she wants most in her heart is still in the box.

When Tang Ailian opened the box and took the collar to give it to Yuxin, she saw the jewelry box. She believed that there must have been a lot of good things in the jewelry box.

Actually, she wanted to come over with the boxes, because these two big boxes were good things at first glance.

The husband's ex-wife's maiden family is rich, and this can be seen from the dowry left by the dead ghost woman. But she did not believe that the old woman would give everything to her daughter to dowry, so she would surely have a lot of treasure.

Now that the old thing is dead, her things are naturally given to her only granddaughter, Ping Yu'an.

Therefore, she must get this jewelry box.

Taking advantage of the fact that her husband took things for the two old people to send the old man to the big house, Cheng Xiaomei smiled at Tang Ailian: "Yu'an, you gave a gift to your grandparents, I'm not your own mother, why didn't I prepare a gift for your father?"

Tang Ailian secretly scolded this Cheng Xiaomei in her heart: as elders, not only did they not give their children a meeting gift, but they actually dared to ask themselves for a meeting gift?

Tang Ailian raised her face and looked at her stepmother puzzled: "My grandmother taught me to respect the old and love the young." So, I prepared gifts for my grandparents and a gift for my younger brother Yuxin. But, are you—are you and Dad already old?"

Cheng Xiaomei was secretly angry in her heart, and actually said that she was old?

She smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm not kidding." She rolled her eyes, and said, "Yu'an, you two big boxes, let Auntie keep them for you." ”

Tang Ailian was even more puzzled: "Auntie, this box contains my change of clothes, do you mean that you want to help me wash my clothes in the future?"

Cheng Xiaomei scolded in her heart, she wants me to help you wash your clothes, you think beautifully!

However, in order to get the box, she still reluctantly smiled and said, "Well, your sister Yuyao has washed her own clothes." But you're Miss Jiao, and it's not impossible for your aunt to help you wash it. ”

In fact, Yu Yao is half a month younger than Yu An, how can she wash her own clothes?

On the contrary, it was the original owner, after returning to Ping's house, Cheng Xiaomei used the grounds that the children in the village only studied until primary school, so that the original owner was not allowed to study again after graduating from primary school.

The original owner originally skipped a grade to study, and Basheng studied to the fifth grade and graduated from elementary school at the age of nine, so she began to do all kinds of housework at the age of nine, and the family's clothes were naturally washed by her.

Tang Ailian naturally knew that it was impossible for Ping Yuyao to wash clothes, so she secretly pouted in her heart and said, "No need, my grandmother said that I have to do my own things, so I will wash my own clothes." My clothes don't bother my aunt to keep them. ”

After that, he dragged a mouthful of the box with one hand and walked towards the west chamber.

Cheng Xiaomei saw that Tang Ailian was about to pull the box towards the West Chamber, and finally directly mentioned it: "You can keep the clothes in the box yourself, but you should let your aunt keep the jewelry box." It's valuable, and it's not good for a child to lose it. ”

Ping Yuyao was originally angry that Tang Ailian didn't give her a gift, but when she heard her mother say that she would help Tang Ailian keep the jewelry box, she was immediately happy.

Before, when Tang Ailian opened the box and took it from the jewelry box to give Yuxin a collar, she saw that there were a lot of shiny treasures in the jewelry box.

The jewelry box was in her mother's hand, and she asked her mother to take it if she wanted it. The whole box was my own.

Tang Ailian hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma said that the things in this jewelry box will be my dowry when I grow up." Auntie, are you going to keep it for me?"

Cheng Xiaomei smiled and said: "Of course, this is your treasure, I just keep it for you, and when you grow up, I will make you a dowry." ”

Tang Ailian hesitated while holding the jewelry box: "That's okay, you can write me a receipt." ”

Cheng Xiaomei paused, and the smile on her face became a little reluctant again: "I am your stepmother, I can't take your things." ”

Tang Ailian insisted: "Grandma said, this is my dowry when I grow up, I can't give it to others, if you keep it for me, you must write me a receipt." ”

In the end, Cheng Xiaomei was very "helpless", she immediately wrote a receipt: I received a box of dowry handed over by Ping Yu'an for safekeeping, and I will return it when Ping Yu'an grows up. The following is signed: Cheng Xiaomei.

She had only attended night school, but she could still write these words, but not very well.

Tang Ailian sneered in her heart, this Cheng Xiaomei wanted to find her jewelry, so she deliberately wrote it like this, with an abacus, and when the time comes, just get something to fool herself.

Hmph, my stepmother's approach is not in my own arms.

Yes, Tang Ailian is also calculating Cheng Xiaomei. From the memory of the original owner, she knew that her grandmother once gave her a list of her mother's dowry, so that she could use it to ask her father for her mother's dowry when she grew up.

In her previous life, she had mentioned it to her father with her mother's dowry list, but in fact, her mother's dowry had already arrived in Cheng Xiaomei's hands, and her father asked her stepmother, but her stepmother said that those dowries had long been turned into money for the family.

But in fact, those dowries were still in the hands of her stepmother, and when Ping Yuyao got married, she gave Ping Yuyao a dowry. Later, Ping Yuyao died in childbirth, and Mu Chun returned.

"Alright, I've already written the receipt, give me the jewelry box. Cheng Xiaomei said.

Tang Ailian took the receipt and looked at it again and again, and said, "Auntie, press a handprint." ”

Cheng Xiaomei didn't want to press her handprint: "Adu has written a note, aren't you still at ease?"

Tang Ailian shook the jewelry box in her hand: "This is my baby, auntie, if you don't press your handprint, how can I trust you to hand it over? What if you say that it wasn't written by you? Or what if your handwriting is beautiful in the future, and you say it's not your handwriting?"

She took out a box of ink clay, and folded the receipt a few times, revealing only the words "Cheng Xiaomei": "Just press it here." ”

Cheng Xiaomei looked at the jewelry box and knew that if she didn't press her handprint, she wouldn't be able to get this box of jewelry. I had to dip my thumb in the ink and press it against my name.

She only thought that what she pressed her handprint was the receipt she wrote that only vaguely wrote "a box of dowry", but she didn't know that this receipt had been dropped by Tang Ailian.
