Chapter 419: Jade
Chapter 419: Jade
They originally planned to take away these dowries for their daughters as dowries, but now they say that they are misappropriating their daughter's money.
Now they want to return the dowry, but they haven't filled this loophole yet, it's a shame.
When Bai Susu heard this, what else did he not understand, and if people didn't take the initiative to come to the door to repay the money, it was clear that they didn't want to give it.
Poor her mother looks shrewd, but in fact, she is so easy to fool.
"We have to get the money back."
As soon as Bai Susu's words came out, Bai Changqing hurriedly said, "Guo'er, in fact, your grandmother and grandfather are very good, and your uncle is probably running out of money, otherwise how could they borrow from us, right?" Dad thought, why don't we use the money we earned this time to offset it first? ”
It's no problem to get it, but you don't want the money that people take away for nothing?
If she remembers correctly, her so-called uncle is going to inherit the Xu family's business, and the Xu family has been in business for many years, although the scale is not large, but the capital must be some, how can it be that the money to marry a daughter-in-law is gone?
"It can be paid, but the money is a dowry given by others, and now we are going to return this dowry, and we should also tell my uncle about it, presumably my uncle loves me, and I heard that I will definitely express my resignation, what do you say?"
Bai Susu already had a definition in his heart of this uncle who had not yet met, but he couldn't say it too bluntly.
This is also an era of etiquette, and you have to abide by it a little.
Bai Changqing thought that what he said was not wrong, so he decided to wait for Bai Susu's grandmother's grandmother to talk to the family about it in private.
Knowing that there was a solution to this matter, Xu Shi was happy, and even made a lot of delicious food for the two of them for a day, and fed the two of them to a round belly.
Although the ancestors of the Xu family were farmers, they changed to business from their grandfather's generation, and now they have begun to hand over the family business to Xu's brother Xu Changlin.
Old man Xu Shenyuan has long intended to take Mrs. Xu Deng to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and now the Xu family's family business is only the last part of the complete explanation.
After this big birthday, the two of them will embark on the road to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.
Therefore, the people of the Xu family and the two people who are good friends with the old couple of the Xu family attach great importance to this birthday banquet.
"Mother, what birthday gift should we prepare for my grandmother?"
Xu took the beans and soaked them, ready to grind soy milk tomorrow morning and drink it. Hearing Bai Susu's words, he hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen and pulled Bai Susu to the street.
"Let's go out into the street and see what's new."
Bai Susu had no choice but to follow Xu to the street.
In this era, there were already conditions for communication with foreign countries, and even in the capital, there was a "Fanren Street" that specialized in selling those strange things.
Although the price is not high, it is not used by ordinary people, so there are many people who turn to look at it, but few people buy it.
As soon as Bai Susu entered this street, he was attracted by the dazzling array of goods.
Look at this colorful glass, the crafts made are much more soulful than those made by modern machines.
She also found that someone was selling glass balls, but unfortunately she could only be talked about by the Xu family when she bought them, and she could only look at them.
The latest surprise was that she found that someone was actually selling pots of cotton.
"This man is really strange, cotton is not planted in the ground, why should it be planted in pots?"
"What did you say?"
Seeing Bai Susu staring at a pot of colorful flowers, Xu Shi quickly pulled her to the side, and said in his ear, "Those are all things that only big families buy, let's take a look at the others." ”
Only big families bought it?
Bai Susu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly grabbed Xu's arm.
"Mother, what are the fillings in our winter clothes?"
"Oh, you stupid boy, of course it's a reed flower, but this year, my mother has thought about it, your father has made money, let's buy a fur robe by ourselves."
Bai Susu only felt that the sky was about to fall.
What kind of dynasty did she come from?
Cotton cultivation has not yet been popularized! Only stuff reed flowers in winter? Isn't that going to freeze her?
Looking at the white cotton opened in the hands of the fanren, Bai Susu didn't need to touch it to know the softness, but unfortunately, if you want to wear such clothes, you have to wait another year.
As for this winter, she has to think of something else, otherwise she will really have to spend all day in the house.
"How do you do this, it looks weird and beautiful."
When Bai Susu was in a daze, Xu had already picked up a gourd-shaped jade pendant from a small stall on the side, although it was only half the size of a thumb, but the leaves on it were carved vividly, as if it were real.
The person who bought something was a woman, and the smile on her face made people want to get closer.
Half of the stall is filled with carved objects, and the other half is made of irregular jade.
"Sister is really good eyesight, this craft is only my man can make the whole street, if you like these styles can be purchased directly, if you have other needs, you can also give us drawings, we will help you make it."
The woman smiled and helped Xu choose a few simple and atmospheric ones, and her mouth kept introducing the texture of various jade stones and the benefits to the human body.
There was no slack in the slightest because of Xu's ignorance.
Bai Susu took it and refused to let go when he saw the uncarved blue sky warm jade.
The texture of such jade is warm, and it is best to make a pendant for the elderly.
"The girl is holding the best jade in our stall, this jade itself is a warm texture, if it can be made into a pendant to wear all year round, it is also very good for the body of the daughter's family."
"If I want you to carve this jade for me, how much silver will I have to pay?"
"I wonder what the girl wants?"
Xu Shi hurriedly touched Bai Susu, obviously not interested in these things.
Bai Susu just didn't feel it, and continued to ask, "I want you to help me carve a small Buddha statue, is it possible?" ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, as far as she knew, the people here were very in awe of ghosts and gods, why did this little girl actually want her to carve a Buddha statue?
"Nonsense, can this Buddha statue be carved casually? What's more, such a small jade pendant is not easy to worship even if it is made. ”
Xu Shi glared at Bai Susu, pulled her and was about to leave.
"My sister only said if she could do it."
The woman gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Of course it can be done, it is so big, as long as it takes two days, my husband can do it, if the girl really wants it, pay us a deposit of one hundred taels of silver." ”
"Such a small thing actually costs a hundred taels? Girl, you're trying to grab money. ”
Xu Shi looked at the Fanren woman in shock, she really couldn't see what was good about this jade, but the other jade stones were also warm after touching them for a long time?
