Chapter Ninety-Eight: Point out the key points, ten taels of traps
Parents love their children, and they will plan far-reaching. Aunt Wang is prejudiced against Ji Youyi in her heart, but for the sake of her son's marriage, she is still willing to put down her body and ask for Ji Youyi.
Ji Youyi can understand her hard work, and she doesn't care about her previous attitude. It's just this silver, she hesitated whether to borrow it.
"Auntie, to be honest, I have this silver, but I'm afraid I can't lend it to you." She didn't hide it, she didn't make excuses, and said bluntly: "The matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, you and I are willing, but you also have to do what you can, if Brother Zhao knows that you are marrying him for him, and he begged in a low voice, I am afraid that I am not willing to do this family business." ”
Aunt Wang didn't expect that Ji Youyi not only didn't agree when she heard what she said, but taught her a lesson, and her face suddenly changed, "If you don't want to borrow it, forget it, don't say it outside." ”
"Auntie, you misunderstood, I didn't want to sue Brother Zhao, I was just worried that you would be deceived." Ji Youyi spoke bitterly and persuaded: "What the Jiang family said is good, this silver is a dowry, and it is better to bring it back to your house for a scene, but what if it doesn't?" ”
"You, what do you mean by that?" Aunt Wang didn't expect this, and asked in surprise: "Do you suspect that the Jiang family will lie to me?" How is this possible. ”
"Then let me ask, did the Jiang family say that this silver was included in the dowry?"
"This, this is actually used as a dowry, so naturally it can't be written into the dowry."
"Did the Jiang family say that they wanted to set up an IOU?"
"Two relatives, this money is just a formality, how can it be good for people to set up an IOU, how troublesome."
"It's not in the dowry, and you don't make an IOU, so if the money doesn't come with the dowry, how can you ask for an explanation?" Ji Youyi named the key to this, "Auntie, you borrowed this silver, when the time comes, the newcomer will carry it into the door, and the dowry will not have this silver, so it is not good for you to make trouble with the new daughter-in-law in front of everyone, right?"
If they don't admit it at that time, can you still let Brother Zhao divorce his wife? Since you can't divorce your wife, you look at your new daughter-in-law all day long and think about her family's cheating on you, can you feel good? Can this day go on? ”
Aunt Wang was told this by her, and her mind suddenly cleared up a lot, but she still had a trace of luck in her heart: "This, their family doesn't look like this." ”
"Auntie, you can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, although the two families have talked about marriage verbally, but after all, it has not been decided, how is their family, what you and I see and hear is mostly superficial, you still have to keep an eye on it."
Ji Youyi said that, as for whether she can figure it out, it can only depend on the individual.
Aunt Wang understood what she meant, and she didn't mention the matter of borrowing money again, and she was grateful to Ji Youyi for being able to say it clearly.
"Youyi, thank you for telling me about today's matter, I'll think about it when I go back, as for the matter of you recognizing Brother Yuan, I also promise, you are a sensible person, I don't have to worry about you teaching Brother Yuan."
"Auntie can figure it out, just don't blame me for talking too much." Ji Youyi was relieved, "My house has been newly renovated, and I can live back in two days, when the time comes, I want to invite you to go to the house for a light meal, and by the way, let my master be a witness, I will recognize Brother Yuan, what do you think?" ”
"That's naturally good, you decide on a good date, let Da Zhuang tell me that it's done, I will definitely go then."
"With the words of the eldest mother, I am relieved."
After the matter was discussed, Aunt Wang saw that it was not too early, so she got up and went back.
Ji Youyi originally wanted to keep someone down, and when she was asked to go back after lunch, she would have to cook when she went back. But Aunt Wang thought that the five daughters-in-law would come over today to talk about things, so she didn't stay.
When she thought of the matter between Tiezhu and Youyi, she wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything.
When she arrived at home, Wugen's daughter-in-law had been waiting outside the yard for a while.
"Auntie, where have you been? Why aren't you at home this early in the morning? Aunt Wugen thought about things, she didn't sleep all night, she got up at dawn, and she didn't dare to come over until dawn, but she didn't expect to pounce on an empty door.
She didn't have anything to do, just waited at the door.
Aunt Wang opened the door and let people into the house, "I sent Da Zhuang and Brother Yuan to the medicine garden, where I talked to Youyi for a while. ”
When Aunt Wugen heard her say this, she chuckled in her heart, afraid that what she said was about the iron pillar, and her matter could not withstand scrutiny and confrontation.
"What did my aunt say to Youyi?"
"Nothing, just some small talk." Aunt Wang didn't notice Aunt Wugen's face, but she didn't want to reveal the content of the conversation, lest others gossip about Ji Youyi.
It's just that her concealed attitude made Aunt Wugen even more confused and worried.
She hid her laughter twice and asked, "I remember that my aunt didn't wait to see Youyi before, why did she have something to say to Youyi at this time?" ”
Aunt Wang only realized that she had something to say at this time, and asked rhetorically, "What does Chunhua mean by this?" ”
"What can I mean?" Aunt Wugen smiled awkwardly, and changed the topic, "Auntie, I came here today for the Jiang family's affairs, what they said yesterday, how did you think about it?" ”
Aunt Wang glanced at her and said regretfully: "Chunhua, the situation in my family is not good, the dowry that can be taken out must be out, no matter how much it is, there is really no more." On the Jiang family's side, I think they can only figure it out by themselves. ”
When she said this, Aunt Wugen was anxious, but in fact, the ten taels of silver were mentioned by her to the three members of the Jiang family.
The three of them promised that if this thing was done, they would give her an extra two taels of silver as matchmaking.
This is equivalent to the price of the media in the city.
"Auntie, let me be fair, you two will be relatives in the future, why make an unpleasant fuss about these ten taels of silver? Besides, if the Jiang family saves face, doesn't it mean that your family also has face? ”
"But my family really can't get this money."
Aunt Wang was not moved by her, and still vetoed it.
Aunt Wugen couldn't help it, and asked tentatively: "Auntie, isn't Miss Lan worth these ten taels of silver?" If nothing else, just for the sake of Lan girl, you are thinking of a way, and this silver will also be brought back in the future, so you won't lose anything if you earn face, right? ”
"Since that's it, Chunhua, I want to ask you, these ten taels of silver, I don't include them in the dowry list, can they Jiang family write me an IOU?" Aunt Wang used Ji Youyi's words to block Aunt Wugen.
Naturally, the Jiang family's plan cannot write an IOU.
Aunt Wugen smiled embarrassedly: "Auntie, you just said it, this money is a matter of going out in a circle, how can you still write an IOU, don't you come back after a sedan chair." ”
"What if I insist on an IOU?" Aunt Wang looked at Aunt Wugen with an unkind expression, she could be regarded as understanding, and said meaninglessly: "Chunhua, I don't know my heart if I know people." ”
Aunt Wugen's face changed, "Auntie's words are sad, who is chewing the root of your tongue in front of you, this is clearly trying to destroy the friendship between our families." ”
