Chapter Fifty-Eight: Who Dare to Say a Word?
"Well, let's have breakfast! Eat good and go to Li's house! Mrs. Zhang commanded.
After breakfast, I waited for the Li family to come to invite me.
Wang Laozhu pulled Wang Yongping down in the backyard, and the two fathers and sons muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Mrs. Zhang pulled Wang Yongzhu down into the room, secretly took out the five taels of snowflake silver she received yesterday, showed it to Wang Yongzhu, and whispered: "Don't worry, your fourth brother won't marry so much, and five taels of silver in our countryside is enough to marry a good daughter-in-law." There are five taels left, and when the time comes, my mother will buy you a dowry and keep your beautiful marriage. ”
Since her old daughter was divorced, Mrs. Zhang is full of dowry for her aggrieved daughter, so that she will not be angry in her in-law's family in the future.
Wang Yongzhu was moved and funny, according to her original temperament, she would definitely not ask for this dowry.
This is what the fourth brother exchanged for his face and dignity, and he has to be big-hearted to accept it with confidence.
It's just that now she can't refuse to destroy her personality, so she only hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm: "Mother, you are so good to me, but this money was obtained by the fourth brother after suffering such a big grievance, should we find a new fourth sister-in-law for him first to suppress this matter, so as not to talk about our Wang family behind people's backs." If there is any surplus for a happy event, you can take it first. It's still early for me to go out, and how much dowry will be given at that time, it's not a word from my mother! ”
Mrs. Zhang was coaxed into a smile.
The old lady is right, as long as the silver is in her own hands, how can she divide it is not a matter of her own words?
Who would dare to say a word?
The mother and daughter talked affectionately in the house for a long time, and it was not until it was almost noon that the Li family sent Li Jinhu to Wang's house to invite Mrs. Zhang over.
Mrs. Zhang entered the house and saw Wang Yongping talking to Wang Laozhu, "The Li family has come to invite, saying that the He family has already come." Am I going alone, or are you going with me? ”
The two families must go to the marriage in person, Wang Laozhu didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red, and he had never been in good health.
Otherwise, I wouldn't learn a carpenter's trade, which is better than always picking in the field, mainly because it is not so hard and tiring.
When he was young, in order to lay down the family business, Wang Laozhu exchanged his life for money to support a large family.
Now that he is older, he feels that his body is becoming more and more unbearable, and he does some light work in the field, and by the way, he guides his grandson and son what they have missed.
Staying up all night made his face sallow and looked very bad.
Therefore, he only shook his head: "You go, let's take advantage of it, with Li Dagui's temperament, he has already given half of the silver yesterday, and he will not regret it again if he thinks about it today!" You might as well speak softly when you go. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, at least on the whole, it will pass. If there is anything you don't like in the He family, don't worry, I'll let the eldest and fourth go with you, protect you, and just find an opportunity to teach the He family a lesson! ”
Wang Yongzhu is simply obedient to Wang Laozhu's arrangement!
Sure enough, when people are old and well-lived, they know that they are taking advantage of this matter and have received compensation, so they might as well be generous, gain a good reputation, and eliminate some bad influences on the Wang family.
At the same time, he also prepared a back hand, if the He family finds fault and is not convinced, his eldest brother and fourth brother are guarding outside, and they can go in and beat people at any time without discussion.
Mrs. Zhang naturally had no opinion, nodded and said that she understood.
Lin stood at the door and wanted to follow, how good it was to go to Li's house, there was tea to drink, a little heart to eat, and he could howl from time to time to scare people, no need to work in the field, no need to expose himself to the sun.
Therefore, when she heard Mrs. Zhang get up, she consciously followed behind her.
Mrs. Zhang looked back and waved her hand impatiently: "What are you doing with the old lady?" The floor in the backyard is turned over? Yesterday, your man borrowed someone's donkey, and didn't cut some forage and came back to feed it, how could it be good to return it to others? There's no life in your eyes, and you want to be lazy and slippery when you see the sky, right? Yesterday, I followed my mother to play for a long time and was still addicted? ”
Lin said cheekily: "Mother, I'll give you courage, multiple people also have more weight, our Wang family doesn't lose the battle, I'll run errands or something." ”
She tossed and turned last night, thinking about the snow-white five taels of silver and couldn't sleep.
Nowadays, in the countryside, ordinary people marry relatives, and it costs five or six taels of silver, which is good.
The little uncle's resignation this time can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and he can get ten taels of silver in compensation, even if he immediately finds another girl to marry him, he can't spend it all if he wants to.
Now that the Wang family is not separated, and the little uncle can't finish spending, can he find a daughter-in-law for his own Jin Dou? Maybe by the end of the year, I will be able to be a mother-in-law.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Lin family, the remaining five taels of silver have already been arranged for their own gold bucket, and if they don't see it with their own eyes and take it home, how can they rest assured.
Mrs. Zhang guessed that the Lin family must have her own little Jiujiu, but she was too lazy to deal with her, her daughter said well, as long as the money is in her own hands, who do you want to spend it on, it is not a matter of her own words?
Since the Lin family wants to go, it's okay, and there are too many people so that the Li family and the He family don't look down on their own family.
Thinking like this, he beckoned: "The third family, pack up, gold bucket, golden pot, you also go." Let them also see that our Wang family, Ding Xingwang, is not the one who is bullied by others. ”
Jiang Shi paused for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, this was the first time that her mother-in-law took the initiative to call her to participate in such an important matter as the family.
At the moment, he excitedly agreed, and went back to the house to clean up.
Wang Yongzhu also wanted to go, so he only pulled Mrs. Zhang's hand and shook it, shaking Mrs. Zhang's heart melted, and she helplessly poked Wang Yongzhu's forehead with her finger: "Okay, you are the ancestor!" Go, go, go, but let's talk about it first, I'll get to Li's house in a while, and I won't talk without my mother's permission, do you hear it?"
Although I have seen that my old daughter has a much better temperament recently, if I go to the Li family, that sentence is not right, I have a small temperament, and it will be bad to delay things.
Let's talk about it first.
Wang Yongzhu naturally had no choice but to agree.
The rest of the little beans saw that except for their grandfather, they were going to go, and they were also pestering to go.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened: "Go, go, go!" A bunch of debt collectors! You are only allowed outside the Li family, not inside! Adults' things, children are less involved, do you hear? ”
As long as you can go to see the excitement, the little beans don't mind where they are, and they all happily agreed.
The Wang family came out of the door in a mighty way and went straight to the Li family.
Along the way, the people in the village saw it, and naturally understood that this was going to cancel the marriage with the Li family, and they all followed behind.
When he arrived at the door of Li's house, it was simply the Wang family who came with most of the people from the village.
Li Dagui's eldest son Li Jinhu had a bitter face, and he didn't know how to go in and explain to his father, and they told him to keep a low profile and not to alarm people.
