But Na Cheng thought that she didn't dare to resist the result, but she gave her mother-in-law and concubine a chance, so that they obviously promised their daughters to others, but in fact, they sold them secretly.

The Wang family didn't even dare to think that if Mrs. Liu was not in a hurry to marry her son at that time, she refused her mother-in-law's words to sell Baoru to the Liu family as an aunt. That innocent girl, how can she not hold her head up in the crowd now.

You must know that selling to a rich family as an aunt is not even as decent as those who have signed a deed of sale or paperwork to be a maid. said that she was an aunt, but once she was rejected by the master's family, the end was worse than that of a maid.

These words were shouted when Liu Shu came to the old house to spill dung. Later, it was passed into the ears of the Wang family by the villagers, and if they hadn't separated at that time, I am afraid that the Wang family would have the heart to die with their mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

"Mother, don't think about that, now our life is going well. It doesn't matter if it's the eldest brother, or me and Cairu Caihexiaoshan, I won't be bullied at will in the future. Lin Baoru took her arm and comforted her softly, "God is always fair, and he won't treat us badly." ”

"Doesn't my mother always tell others, isn't your eldest daughter a blessed one? If I am blessed, then how could God watch me fall into the fire pit? Seeing that the Wang family didn't sigh anymore, Lin Baoru hurriedly smiled, "Didn't my mother also think that the young master of the Liu family was not bad?" ”

Otherwise, according to Wang's dislike of Liu Shulai, he would not let him come to the door three times or twice, and give him a chance to get along with himself.

Seeing that his daughter was still well-behaved, Wang felt more and more sorry for her. And those dirty things about Liu Shulai that were lingering in her heart, hesitating and not knowing how to speak, couldn't say anything.

Maybe Liu Shulai's nature is really not bad, but just because he likes men, it is enough to marry the daughter of the Liu family in the future.

Obviously, Lin Baoru also guessed Wang's worries, but she didn't know what to say about it. She couldn't tell the Wang family directly, she didn't think about having a round house with Liu Shu at all, let alone giving birth to the Liu family!

At the very least, in front of her, she only regarded the Liu family as a place to stay, which was a forced choice.

As long as she can get out in the future, she probably won't hesitate.

No matter how Liu Shulai is now, the more she feels indebted to her, the easier her path will be in the future.

Cai Ru and Cai He knew that their eldest sister might go back to someone else's house, and they were very sad to hear their mother say these words, so they were very reluctant to rub to their mother and eldest sister's side. Even the youngest hill whispered to his eldest sister's arm with red eyes.

In the past six months, they have long been accustomed to seeing the eldest sister as soon as they open their eyes, used to pestering the eldest sister to tell stories and play games, and even feel very happy to help the eldest sister work.

Now that I think about it, in a few days, the eldest sister will be married. is just like Sister Daju in the village, who married into someone else's family and couldn't come back for a long time. In their hearts, they felt very uncomfortable, and they wanted to cry but were afraid of blocking their mother and eldest sister.

"I don't want my eldest sister ......to go," in the end, Xiaoshan said this with a low sob. only then did Cairu and Caihe choke up.

Such a fuss made Wang more and more sad, and tears were in his eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable when they looked at it.

It was also a shame that it was late at night, and a few small ones were sleepy and yawned, so that Wang stopped his sadness and was busy sending a few small ones to sleep.

It's just that after she returned to the house, she thought about it and still thought about her eldest daughter, so she simply pulled Lin Baoru to stay in the main house to rest. Left and right, now the house is big and spacious, and the two of them don't feel panicked in a room.

"Mother, you still have to keep the silver, once you come, the eldest brother will ask for silver to marry a wife and start a family, and you can't instigate your upbringing. There is also Xiaoshan, although Xiaoshan is young, but his mother also has to think about sending him to study, and this matter cannot be delayed. Lin Baoru tied up her dried hair, sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang and chatted with Wang about what she hadn't said before.

Wang shook his head, "Your eldest brother's business, you don't have to worry about it, he can do as much happy things as he has the ability." Cairu is also doing well, and my mother can still do it now, and she won't be able to lose Xiaoshan in the future. ”

Regarding the preparation of the marriage for his daughter, Wang is not ambiguous at all. She had already thought about it, if it weren't for her daughter's ability, I was afraid that she would not be able to live in such a bright brick house until she died. Not to mention, like those wealthy families in the town, they all built such a special bathroom in the house.

And clothes, last winter, she didn't dare to think that one day she would really be able to wear decent clothes.

Even if she was able to buy some coarse fabrics and cotton for the children in the family, she thought about the clothes that she had to wear. When it was summer, I took out the cotton cover and changed it into a summer coat.

But now, where is the need to pay that thing. Don't say it's big at home. Everyone can wear clean and neat clothes. It's just that I have always only looked at and envied other people's children's pickings and lotuses, and now I can bring a headband and a flower when I go out.

And these are not all because of their own family. Baoru?

Now even if they give all the workshop and silver to Baoru, their situation is not better than that of others.

Wang thought clearly, although the girl was going to get married, but in her heart, the girl was the same as the son. It doesn't make sense, let the daughter's hard-earned family funds be subsidized to her son.

If the son has a good life, he can earn his own life. If his son is unproductive and has a shallow eyelid, then even if he hands over his daughter's business to him, will it be possible to keep it?

Didn't you see the two sons on the other side of the big house? was praised all day long, who didn't flatter a good person when he saw it, but in the end he ruined the good days of the big house.

Lin Baoru saw that her mother still insisted on her own plan, so she simply said solemnly: "That mother should keep this silver for me, in case something happens to my daughter in the future, I can have a hope." If my mother gives me all the money now, and I can't manage it well, then I won't have to smear my eyes when something happens? ”

"Besides, when I go to Liu's house in the future, I can't always take care of our workshop. Whenever there is something in the workshop, you can also have some money in your hand for emergency. Lin Baoru said sincerely, but it made it difficult for the Wang family to insist.

She sighed, quickly wrapped the silver back into a cloth bag, and then folded it with oiled paper and hid it. It's just that she collected it, but she still advised: "That mother will help you save it, and if you make money in the workshop in the future, your mother will also save it for you." ”

Lin Baoru chuckled: "That's what I earned, but the expenses of my mother and Cairu have to come out of the money that the Liu family gave us, otherwise I won't follow." ”

Wang nodded her head, "As far as you think, could it be that Cairu and they will fight for your eldest sister's reason?" ”

Having said that, the Wang family is very ironing in his heart, after all, no one wants his daughter to marry, so he will really be estranged from his mother's family.

She thinks about her daughter, and naturally hopes that her daughter will still be close to herself.

Lin Baoru was relieved to see Wang, and hurriedly rubbed her arm and talked about the next thing.

"There is one more thing, my mother's family now has money, and we will earn more and more in the future. It's just a little, if the mother doesn't seem to leave the village to go out to live, then you have to consider the matter of land. ”

No matter what the age, the more fields the better. Even when there is a shortage of war, having land at home can give the family an extra layer of security. Book 8

Wang was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "But if there is too much land, my mother is afraid that she will not be able to plant it...... This mother is still worried, what about planting budding rice in a few days, the two acres of land in your name in the west of the village, and the two acres of thin fields, if they are all planted, it is estimated that it will take some days! ”

Besides, she really doesn't want to make such a big deal early, and the food grown in the family's fields is enough for the family to eat for two seasons. The extra ones, which were exchanged for money, were also a big entry.

In her opinion, there is really no need to buy land anymore. What's more, if you really buy land, then the little money in the family can't buy much...... It's better to save up, and if you have money in your hands, you are not afraid of being poor.

As soon as Lin Baoru saw Wang's expression, she knew her general thoughts. After thinking about it, she said, "Mother, the land is to be bought. ”

"Mother, just think about it, those rich households and landlords in Taoxi Village, and further afield, some wealthy businessmen and official relatives in the town and county, which family does not have land and Zhuangzi? If you talk about it, these are the real family foundations, as for the money in your hand is put for ten or twenty years, what's the point of not running a family business? Lin Baoru knew that if he said a big truth, Xu Wang couldn't listen to it, but if he compared it with those realistic examples around him, it would be easier for Wang to understand what he meant.

In other words, if you have a field, can you be afraid of running out of money? It doesn't matter how much land we buy, as long as we want to use the money, we can exchange it for silver. If we are not in a hurry to use the money, then rent it out, and we will have to pay hundreds of catties of wheat per mu of land every year or collect rent directly, which is all free entry. "In this era, there was no such thing as interest, so Lin Baoru couldn't say that the benefits of the land must be more than the interest.

But even so, it's enough for the Wang family to ponder. After all, what the girl said was so straightforward, and she was not a fool and couldn't settle the account.

If you really buy a field of property, put it as an industry, and rent it out for a harvest or rent, it is equivalent to making money.

Thinking about it like this, Wang was really a little moved. To be honest, do farmers still have too many fields? Naturally not, in the final analysis, she just feels sorry for her daughter's difficulty in making money.

Others don't know, but she knows it, before smashing the pig's pancreas, kneading. rubbing, and studying those soap blocks, how much effort did my daughter spend. My arms alone are often swollen and painful, and many times I can't sleep for half a night and half a night.

Later, she and Cairu were able to help share some of the burden, and her family/Baoru was a little easier.

Later, those essential oil soaps and rose water, if one of them was not careful, the pot would be ruined. So the girl bothered to think of ways to save it every day, and she couldn't help at all as a mother.

The two discussed the matter of buying land for a while, and finally Wang and Lin Baoru fell asleep with the dream of becoming the largest landlord in the village in the future. Of course, if you really want to buy a field, you have to go back to Tongli to discuss, after all, there are a number of fields and hills in the village, and which one can be sold and which one can be opened, you have to cross the clear road in the village.

If Li Zheng can call the shots, then he only needs to pay the money. If you can't be the master in any piece of land, you have to hand a letter to the yamen and wait for the approval of the official who is in charge of the yamen.

But generally speaking, as long as you have enough money, that doesn't matter. After all, who doesn't want to have a few landlords in a place under their own jurisdiction? At that time, the taxes and books will look good, and when you report your achievements to the court at the end of the year, you can also add a good one.

The days went by day by day, and seeing that it was only five or six days before July 16, Wang simply withdrew from the workshop first.

In her eyes, making money is not as important as her daughter.

Naturally, these days, people in Taoxi Village can see the Wang family carrying white-flour steamed buns and meat strips every day, and every household is looking for Aunt Quanfu. Of course, Zhang Luo also had some daughters-in-law who were diligent and neat in their work, and had good skills to help Zhang Luo entertain guests.

In the past, the Wang family prepared two thick quilts and two new backs for marriage, but later I heard Aunt Lu say that rich families pay attention to being able to be in charge, so she simply repurchased four beds of cotton and quilts. How to say it, she doesn't want her daughter to be in charge of her in-law's house, but this sign must be complete, at least it can't be looked down upon.

Even Lin Mancang, who used the money he had just earned to kill pigs, added a lot of delicate silver pendants and flower-inlaid hairpins to her.

There are also many mothers-in-law in the village when they visit the door, and they are too willing to spend money on the second room, and they are both fields and workshops. You know, those objects are used as dowries, but they will enter the door of people's mother-in-law's house, although the mother-in-law's family will not ask for it, but it has nothing to do with the mother's family.

However, some mothers-in-law feel that she is too big-hearted, and some daughters and daughters-in-law envy Lin Baoru's good life, and there are mothers and brothers who plan for her like this.

Speaking of which, recently, Lin Baoru is not idle. Although she doesn't need to pay much attention to the work in the workshop, the first few girls and women in the village are enough for her to deal with.

It's not that the big guy is uncomfortable coming to the door, but everyone is really envious of Lin Baoru's life for being so kind to her mother's family. After all, such a heavy dowry, this is the first in the entire Taoxi Village.

In addition, the Lin family's workshop released news again, saying that it would recruit people in the future, so wouldn't it attract some people to come to the door every day to talk to her?

Taking advantage of the fact that the day had not yet come, the Wang family looked for a time, and specially took Baoru to the town to buy a lot of miscellaneous things. There is money in the family now, as long as she can make her daughter decent, she is willing to say anything.

In addition to the quilt wardrobe and circle chair prepared before, Wang also specially bought her pairs of wooden combs, copper mirrors and makeup. Naturally, she had been reluctant to buy the satin fabric before, but now she has also bought one, so she wants to go back and make a few beautiful clothes for her daughter, so that her daughter can wear new ones at her in-law's house.

In fact, the Wang family really didn't think of this before, after all, most of the dowries in the village are just a few cabinets, or a dowry quilt.

It was also a few days ago that she heard from her sister-in-law Xiu, who came to visit the door with Li Shanglang, that in the dowry of the wealthy families in the town, almost all the clothing, food, housing and transportation that the daughter will need in the future are complete, and small objects and even books and medicinal materials are considered to be dowry, so she is about to move over.

Even the average family will prepare the silver at the bottom of the box, several new clothes and new fabrics, as well as a makeup box and jewelry, and a set of furniture. This kind of object is enough to make the girl wear new clothes every day for a period of time after she gets married.

On the contrary, those who go to their mother-in-law's house to tinker with the old clothes worn in the past are often picky.

The Wang family had never heard of these things before, after all, which farmer might buy a lot of new clothes for his daughter to send to her in-law's house? Even if the conditions are good, it is just a good choice of wedding dress and good clothes to return to the door. The rest is not what she wears when she is a girl?

But now that she knows, she won't lack her own daughter.

Seeing that the day of marriage was just around the corner, the Wang family was not worried, and after returning to the village, she directly found more than a dozen aunts who were both children and daughters in the village to help sew new clothes.

It's not that she's too particular, it's really to get lucky. Taoxi Village sews futon with ten blessed women to make needlework, not to mention that each can help sew, at least it can also be perfect.

There is no precedent in Taoxi Village to sew new clothes for her daughter, but for the sake of good luck and good omen, Wang still used a large pot of white-flour steamed buns, and asked the blessed aunt who helped sew the quilt before to help with the needlework.

In the end, there are many people who work quickly, and the Wang family is very willing to do it for their daughters, and all the people who come to help make clothes are good at eating and drinking. It makes those aunts who originally only wanted to make up the number of them, and their work is also meticulous.

Of course, those who think that the second room is too ostentatious and too pompous, they have to secretly talk about the absurd nature of the young master of the Liu family.

These people don't mean to disgust the second room, or they don't look down on the second room. It's just that many of them feel that the second room and the Liu family's family affairs are not reliable, and I am afraid that the second room can only practice this heart in vain in the end.

It's not that the Wang family doesn't listen to these words at all, but so what? Now, except for trying to elevate the status of her daughter, she has nothing to do.
