Chapter Ninety-Five: The Dowry
When Helan finished eating and came out again, he saw the back of Wu Qingzhu personally sending a group of people away.
After waiting for a while, Wu Qingzhu turned back, and Wu's mother went to the hall with a bowl of rice when she saw that everyone was gone.
Father Wu didn't say anything, and sat at the door with the rice bowl and ate it in the shade.
Grandpa Wu didn't frown when he left at this time, and his expression was slightly calm.
Helan rubbed her full stomach and went back to the room under the gaze of the others.
Grandpa Wu, who had been sitting in the hall fanning his fan, said to Mother Wu next to him, "Go and lock the door." ”
And at this moment, there is only their own family here, and everyone gathered in the hall was a little nervous when they saw Helan coming with a box in his arms.
Just now, Grandpa Wu just heard from Father Wu that he only saw that the box was full, with two ingots of gold on it, and he didn't dare to take a closer look at the rest of the way.
At this time, when I saw the box, I couldn't help but tug at my beard, and I was still thinking about how much it was inside, or whether it would be all gold.
In the nervousness of her family, Helan held the open box and put it on the table, and took out the same things.
Every time he took it out, Grandpa Wu's heart and liver trembled, he had never seen these things in his life, he dared to say that his son, if it weren't for the few pieces of gold that Helan took out, he might not know what the gold looked like in this life.
Father Wu's newly grown beard also trembled, and the hand holding the bowl trembled.
Mother Wu covered her mouth in surprise, and her eyes widened.
Wu Qingzhu's face was also stunned at the moment, and his mind was blank.
"Here are one hundred taels of silver tickets, six taels of gold, twenty taels of broken silver, and some jewelry, grandpa, you can take it when you see how much you need, as for this jade bracelet and two jade pendants are given by my parents' family and the first gift, so I can't take them out to help the family."
"This ...... This...... Why so many? ”
"These are the dowries that my father prepared for me in the early years, and they were given to me in advance because my brother was away."
"That's too much!"
"There is another house here, in Yuzhou, there are twenty acres of land, I don't know what to do with it, you can help make an idea."
When Grandpa Wu heard this, his beard trembled and trembled, and his tongue was a little knotted.
looked up at Helan's face, and then at his eldest grandson, he couldn't help but stare at his eyes, and thought to himself: Didn't you kidnap the young lady of which family you brought back?
Wu Qingzhu looked at his grandfather's face and smiled bitterly, he didn't know what was going on in this situation!
Mother Wu on the side pinched her thighs and listened: "Oh, this is not a dream!" As he spoke, he rubbed his thighs.
Father Wu slapped away his mother-in-law's hand at once: "What are you doing!" It's me who hurts! ”
This sudden farce caused a tense atmosphere that suddenly relaxed a little, and the rest of the people couldn't smile bitterly.
When Father Wu calmed down, Grandpa Wu also breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth: "Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, you take all of this out, can you be willing to do it?" ”
"Family, why don't you give up? As long as I go to Brother Quan, I am willing to come out! ”
Grandpa Wu nodded, even more satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
"I took out a hundred taels of silver from it, plus the money in my hand, it was enough to rescue Brother Quan. You can take care of the rest yourself, these are also the things that your father and mother have saved with great difficulty in this life, and our family can't be the kind of person who lies on his daughter-in-law and sucks blood. ”
Helan was also at ease in her heart, Grandpa Wu suddenly saw so much silver, she didn't have any thoughts in her heart, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, simple and not greedy, how could such Grandpa Wu not be respected?
"After using this money, the family will slowly make it back to you, as for the house deed and title deed you said, it still belongs to you. As for how to take care of it or the income obtained, it is also a matter for you and Brother Zhu, and after this matter is over, you will go there to check it out, and then decide how to solve it. ”
Mother Wu also opened her mouth: "Dad, you are right, eldest daughter-in-law, you hurry up and put away your things, I look a little dazzling, and I will rob you later." ”
Helan just smiled, although she likes money, but it is not as important to her family as it is to her.
"Mother, if you like it, take it, it's just a little bit, I believe that sooner or later, Brother Zhu and Brother Quan will be able to earn it back for you!"
The family who said this is much more comfortable, and the pressure in their hearts is also less.
When Helan took out these things just now, maybe they didn't know, and they all unconsciously seemed to be a head shorter than Helan in their hearts.
Especially when they have to cheekily take a hundred taels of silver from others, the Wu family naturally panicked on their faces.
"Just take it, is this gold enough for your mother to touch now? I've never seen gold in my life. ”
Helan smiled, then let go of the side, and motioned for Wu's mother to come and touch it casually.
"I really haven't seen the world, and I don't know where to look with this bit of gold."
After Father Wu, who was disgusted on his lips, said this, his feet also walked forward without obeying the call, and then picked up a piece of gold, touched it, and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
Wu Qingzhu also blushed a little when he looked at his parents like this, and secretly looked at Helan who was standing on the side, and saw that his face didn't have too much expression, so he was relieved.
With such a small attitude of his parents, he didn't feel ashamed, but he was afraid that Helan would dislike it.
Suddenly, Helan picked up a golden hairpin placed next to him and handed it to Wu's mother: "Mother, you can take this!" ”
Mother Wu looked surprised, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, how can you accept this!" ”
Helan directly stuffed the things to Wu's mother: "You just take it, it can be regarded as me and Brother Qingzhu honoring you!" ”
Mother Wu hesitated for a moment, looked at Helan's expression, looked at the things under her hands, and said: "Your mother is short-sighted, she can see the things in front of her, since you gave it, I will accept it, what, I have other things to do, leave first!" After saying this, he took the hairpin and dragged Wu's father out of the hall.
Grandpa Wu glanced at his daughter-in-law and coughed: "What, there are still some things in my study, so I'll go first." ”
Now there are Wu Qingzhu and Helan left in the house.
Wu Qingzhu sighed, stepped forward, and put the things Helan took out into the box while speaking: "Alas, if you take it out like this, aren't you afraid that our family will be greedy for you, and won't give it to you?" ”
Helan smiled at this Wu Qingzhu: "I know it won't." ”
"It's really stupid, if this thing is hidden in the future, you are not allowed to take it out again, your dowry is yours, and no one in the family will ask for it again, take the daughter-in-law's dowry and spend it, and my face will be thrown on the street if I say it."
"Isn't mine yours?"
"Your dowry is yours!"
"And what about the money you earn?"
"Nature is also for you!"
"So, what's mine is mine, and yours is mine, so I'm putting my own money on you now, if you work hard and become a big official, won't you want more money to give me in the future?"
Wu Qingzhu glared, thought about this sentence, why did he suddenly feel very reasonable?
