Chapter 9: Dowry
Ye Qingyu knew when he heard this, when the family was slack, his father and second uncle would always go to the town to find work, all of which were hard work, and they were tired and had little money.
But it's better than no work at all, and being able to earn a penny is a penny.
Today, her grandmother and her mother's work is not common, and it is very rare to catch it once, and after a busy day, she earns more than a dozen yuan, which is enough for the family to eat for a few days.
"Aomine, do you hate your eldest sister? If it weren't for the fact that the eldest sister couldn't think of jumping into the river for a while, and needed money to save her life, the eldest brother wouldn't have been ......" Ye Qingyu said this, paused deliberately, and then said with a sad face,
"The eldest sister really hates herself! In the past few years, not only have I not helped my family at all, but I have also dragged down my elders everywhere, disrespecting my elders, and it is not good for you, I really feel shameless! ”
"Oh, big sister, don't say that! You can't think about dying anymore to save you with great difficulty! Ye Qingfeng was so frightened by her words that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand, he quickly put it down, ran to her and said,
"The eldest brother volunteered to go to Landlord Li's house to work as a long-term worker, and I wanted to go too, but I was too young for others to want. It's a good errand to be paid every month for three years. ”
"To be a long-term worker?! Confused! It's just confused! Ye Qingyu figured out the true whereabouts of his eldest brother, his eyes were dizzy with anger, and his body trembled.
"The eldest brother is only fifteen years old, he has been studying since he was a child, and he doesn't have much energy, where is he the material for long-term work, he really went to work in the landlord's house, and he must not be tortured to death!
I remember that I didn't still have my previous dowry, and I sold my dowry, and the money was enough to buy medicine and cure diseases, how could I let my eldest brother sell himself as a long-term worker! ”
The dowry of the original owner was naturally prepared three years ago, when the Ye family had not yet fallen, and the original owner was favored, and the dowry prepared for her was worth fifty or sixty taels in total.
Not to mention that this is in the village, even the ordinary rich families in the town, it is the first time to marry a daughter to prepare such a dowry.
Moreover, at that time, the wedding date between the original owner and Liu Junsheng had been set, and the original owner had a deep love for Liu Junsheng, and the wedding dress embroidered by himself himself, as well as pillow scarves and quilts, etc., were all made of good fabrics and embroidery threads.
Later, the Ye family had an accident, and the family property was ruined, so she could only survive by selling the land and the house, but the original owner's dowry, except for some jewelry sold, such as wedding clothes and quilts, she was unwilling to sell them.
Seeing that she was unwilling, the family stopped mentioning it after mentioning it twice, not wanting to make her sad, and the family would rather go hungry and let the original owner continue to keep the wedding dress.
After Ye Qingyu saw this memory, he felt that the original owner was really pitiful, pathetic and hateful!
She can't see her family suffering, and she doesn't help with the work, but she guards the dowry like crazy and thinks about the scumbag, which is really annoying!
Ye Qingfeng was stunned for a moment by the eldest sister's temper attack, and then realized that the eldest sister was lying to herself just now, and she didn't know the whereabouts of the eldest brother at all.
Ah!
Ye Qingfeng raised his hand and patted his head in annoyance, he is usually quite clever, why did he fall into the trap of the eldest sister, no wonder his father and mother exaggerated that the eldest sister was smart and had a delicate heart before the accident.
"Eldest sister, you didn't let your family sell your dowry before, you have an accident, where does your father and mother dare to touch your dowry, I am afraid that you will wake up and seek death, so I can only think of other ways to raise money.
However, except for two acres of land in our family, everything else is worthless.
After you had an accident the day before yesterday, our mother and second aunt didn't borrow money from their parents' family, because we didn't pay back the money we owed before.
My sister-in-law wanted to help us, but she was powerless, and after she fell from our family, her life at her in-law's house was also sad.
The people in the village also knew that our family was poor and couldn't afford to pay it back, so they didn't lend it to us anymore. The eldest brother went to work for a long time, and that was also impossible. ”
Ye Qingfeng said three or two sentences, making the Ye family's desperate situation clear.
