Chapter 270: Spending

Although Li Shuqing is very unwilling, but Lin Haoming doesn't help her out, she has no way at all, unless she wants to quit her family, Li Shuqing knows very well that she has no identity as the adopted daughter of the Li family, just a peasant girl in the Lin family, she can't marry any good family at all, even if Lin Haoming is an adoptive brother, it won't be of much use, after all, it's an adoptive brother, not a real brother, there is a layer in between, not to mention that she has no innocence, Li Jinzhen is her best choice, if she goes to make trouble herself, this marriage is likely to be gone.

But if you marry into the Li family like this, isn't that looked down upon? The maids on the Li family's side are all high and low, if those people know that she is a dowry, who will seriously treat her as a second grandmother in the future?

There is also the fact that Li Shuqing is very unaccustomed to coming here, she has to do everything by herself here, there is no maid, in fact, Li Shuqing will already be very good, she didn't ask her to do any housework, but she has to drink tea and pour water, and she has to be waited, and it is not that she has no hands to wait for someone to wait.

Li Shuqing was unwilling and didn't dare to trouble the Li family, so he wiped his tears and lost his temper at the Lin family every day.

"Shuqing, don't be sad, the family affairs have been decided, don't worry, my mother still has a little money in her hand, and when you get married, my mother will buy you a dowry." Fang Lian saw that Li Shuqing was sulking, and couldn't help but comfort her.

Li Shuqing was very unwilling to hear this, and said, "You, how much money can you have, don't you think it's nice to give ten taels or twenty taels of silver to buy a dowry?" People get married with a grange shop or something, you don't think it's just one or two clothes. After Li Shuqing finished speaking, she looked at Fang Lian contemptuously, if she really brought these things into the door, then she would be laughed to death.

Fang Lian saw that Li Shuqing was very sad these days because of the dowry, it was impossible to buy any grange or something, those granges were hundreds of acres of land, she couldn't afford them, so Fang Lian gritted her teeth and asked, "How much is this small shop in Yunzhou?" "She didn't dare to think about a big shop, let's find a way to buy a small shop, how can I make Li Shuqing happy, otherwise it will be like this, Fang Lian feels that she can't stand it.

"Even the small shops on the west side of the city cost three or four hundred taels each." Li Shuqing knew that Aunt Xue's maternal uncle had set up a small shop in the west of the city, so she knew the price, this west of the city was a slum in Yunzhou, and the price was the cheapest at any time, of course, no matter how slum it was, such a big city was much better than a small place in Yan County.

Three or four hundred taels, Fang Lian converted the money in her hand at this time, thinking that she had always owed this daughter, it would be good if she didn't recognize her relatives, she was still a young lady of the prefect's family, she was raised by the Li family since she was a child, and she didn't raise her, and now she always has to give her a little dowry, make her happy, and make her feel less guilty, thinking of this, Fang Lian gritted her teeth, "Didn't you say before that you would give your father eighty taels of silver?" I'll go back and ask him to come back, and then I'll add some more to you, plus your dowry, and I'll buy you a small shop in Yunzhou." ”

Li Shuqing was stunned when she heard this, then her eyes blinked, and she looked at Fang Lian very seriously, the bride price was only eighty taels of silver plus Lin Yongnian's hand, and there was still a difference of one or two hundred taels, and then looking at Fang Lian's simple appearance, she really didn't see that this person actually had hundreds of taels of silver, and she was only one of her daughters, Fang Lian couldn't give all the money to herself, she definitely had to leave a little for the other children, maybe she had four or five hundred taels of silver in her hand, thinking of this, Li Shuqing's eyes couldn't help but flash, It seems that this Lin family is not as poor as she thought, is she trying to find a way to dig some money out of Fang Lian's hands.

Fang Lian actually didn't have much money in his hand, just more than two hundred taels of silver, this was still given to him by Lin Haoming, it can be said that he really bought a yard for Li Shuqing, and Fang Lian didn't have any money in his hand.

"Mother, then let's go and buy a house tomorrow." Li Shuqing just wanted to quickly cheat out the money in Fang Lian's hand at this time, cheat a little bit today, cheat a little more tomorrow, little by little, and when she gets married, it is estimated that there will be a lot, and when the time comes, it will be good for the people of the Li family to take a look at it, and take out so much dowry, but she brought so much dowry back.

Fang Lian actually regretted it a little when she finished speaking, those silver coins were all given to her by Haoming, she gave them all to Li Shuqing, and she didn't know if Manxue Haoming would be angry, but the words were all spoken, and now Li Shuqing looked expectant again, Fang Lian could only grit her teeth and agree, "Okay." ”

This is probably because they are worried that Lin Manxue will know that they will stop it, when Fang Lian went out with Li Shuqing the next day, she only said to buy Li Shuqing some happy clothes, this period of time Li Shuqing is yin and yang, Lin Manxue didn't want to be wronged, so she didn't follow up, so she didn't know Li Shuqing's plans.

But even if he knew, Lin Manxue Lin Haoming wouldn't say anything, although the money was given by Lin Haoming, but since he gave it to Fang Lian, it was Fang Lian's thing, Fang Lian could use it however he wanted, they wouldn't care, of course, he would definitely not give money so generously in the future.

Li Shuqing has lived in Yunzhou for so many years, and she still knows some about where the Chinese people are fair, she quickly took the Chinese people to look at the house, three or four hundred taels of silver in Yunzhou really can't buy a big shop, she quickly selected a shop, the shop is not big, and there are two wings in the back, depending on the people living in the shop, but there are not many people, the location is not bad, just like this, the shop costs three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and Lin Yongnian has not taken back the silver money in his hand. With so much money, it can be said that all the money on Fang Lian's body has been emptied. ok essay network

The shop was bought, Li Shuqing said that the dowry given to her was naturally written in her name, and she also went to the government for the first time to get the deed, and after getting the deed with the official seal, Li Shuqing laughed happily, and then she also entrusted the Chinese to help rent out the shop.

Such a shop can be rented out for three taels a month, which is not much, but for Li Shuqing, it is enough for her own use.

Fang Lian looked at her empty purse, her heart was empty, a little uncomfortable, she had always valued money very much, this would buy a dowry for her daughter with all her belongings, it was really the craziest thing she had done.

"Shuqing, all the money from my mother will buy you a dowry, you can't talk about this in the future, otherwise the brothers in the family will feel uncomfortable." Fang Lian thought about it and couldn't help but tell Li Shuqing.

All the money will be spent, Fang Lian then remembered, worried that the Lin family would be angry, the Lin family would definitely be angry if they knew, even Lin Huaming would be angry, this year did not say that the stepmother's money should not be given to the children in front of him, but there is no such statement, I didn't look at the big family, the concubine is married, the grandmother will be more or less willing to give her as a dowry, I didn't say that it must be average, but how much will be given, this is the parent, I don't see it as a child, whether it is your birth or not, you have to be filial, But where there is unfilial piety, it can be punished, and it is said that the identity of the elder is more advantageous.

"I know that my mother loves me, and I will definitely not say it, mother, don't worry." Li Shuqing was in a much better mood at this time, so she said with a smile, she is not stupid, she will definitely not say it stupidly, she still wants to dig up Fang Lian's money slowly in the future, how can she say it, and those people in the Lin family must not be wary of her.

As for Fang Lian's statement that she had no money, Li Shuqing didn't believe it, after all, Fang Lian was not her child, how could she give her all the money alone?

When Li Shuqing and Fang Lian came back, Lin Manxue took a look, she didn't buy anything, she just bought a few pieces of fabric, it seems that she really made clothes for Li Shuqing, but looking at Li Shuqing's smiling face, it seems that the effect of shopping is really good, at least there is no yin and yang weirdness, saying that Li Shuqing is like that, Lin Manxue really can't stand it, Lin Manxue originally thought, this Li Shuqing continues to lose her temper like this for no reason, she is going to ask Lin Haoming to send people away early, and she doesn't owe her, why bother looking at her face.

This is the first time she asked for something, this Li Shuqing began to ask for things for the second time, probably knowing that she just asked for a shop, and Fang Lian, who asked for a large item, would not agree, so she said that her clothes and jewelry were in the Li family, and she wanted to buy some clothes, and Fang Lian had no money on her body at this time, Fang Lian, who had no choice, looked at Li Shuqing's pleading, and finally gritted her teeth and went to Lin Manxue, "Manxue, do you have any money in your hand, can you borrow a little money from your mother first?" ”

"Mother wants to go shopping?" Lin Manxue asked curiously.

"Your sister doesn't have any clothes or anything, so I'll have to buy her some." Fang Lian thought for a while and said.

Lin Manxue didn't ask much, if Li Shuqing didn't make a fuss, he would give a few pieces of clothes, and he would not spend any money to buy fabrics for these clothes or something, so Lin Manxue took a five taels of silver and gave it to Fang Lian.

This person who buys clothes and jewelry, there is a first time and a second time, Li Shuqing will pretend to be pitiful, saying that he wore it before, doesn't this increase Fang Lian's guilt? So Fang Lian could only find someone to ask for it again, Lin Manxue asked for it twice, probably embarrassed to ask Lin Manxue for it every time, and then went to Lin Haoming to ask for it, Lin Haoming also gave it twice, ten taels at a time, and then Fang Lian asked again, Lin Haoming asked Shang Lian directly, "Mother, it seems that I have bought a lot of clothes and jewelry these days, Mother, we are a farmer's family, is Mother planning to raise Li Shuqing as a daughter?" Mother, our family can't afford to support it, you can't get used to it. ”

In fact, Lin Haoming can afford to raise a girl, but why should he?

He is willing to raise Lin Manxue like this, but it is a pity that Lin Manxue is unwilling to wear a lot of jewelry, his sister is unwilling to swagger, nor does he like to be famous, and he hates to walk around with a few pounds of things on his head, so it is better to say that he is still his own sister.
