"Old dead woman, I'm sorry!" Li mumbled back to the room.

shouted at Song Qingyuan and Shiro, "You two will go to the back room for me to stay, what to see here." ”

There are two rooms in the second room of the Song family, one is the three boys in the second room, Erlang, Sanlang, and Shiro are living.

The other house was divided into two rooms by wooden planks and wooden doors, the inner room was where Song Qingyuan lived, and the outer room was Song Chengyi and Li's room.

"I won't go to the back room, why can't I stay." Shiro pursed his lips and hummed and refused to leave.

How could the Li family have the heart to spend time with him, so he grabbed it, dragged it into the back room, and pushed Song Qingyuan into it at the same time.

Li observed for a while and found that Song Qingyuan and Shiro did not peek.

Then he carefully picked up a wine jar in the corner, which was not big and empty.

There was no alcohol in it, and it was put in some messy debris.

After Li picked up the wine jar, he didn't look through the wine jar.

Instead, he set the jar aside, under it.

Li stroked with his hands, and after scratching off a pile of soil, a small wooden board was exposed.

Pick up the plank, revealing a worn-out purse underneath.

Li Shi took the purse in his hand, rubbed it repeatedly, his eyes showed reluctance, and he struggled several times.

In the end, he sighed, gritted his teeth, and opened his purse.

There was a piece of broken silver in the purse, about two taels, Li took out the broken silver, counted more than a dozen copper coins, and padded the purse, which made a noise, there were about a hundred or ten Wen left, and a small silver horn of about one tael.

Li tied up the purse, put it in, covered it with a wooden plank, and then re-laid the earth, and pressed the wine jar on top as usual.

Then he took the two taels of broken silver and a dozen copper coins and went out.

The Sun family and the Ye family, who went back to the room to withdraw the money, also came out one after another, compared to the Sun family with a calm face, the Ye family was very ugly, his face was pale, crumbling, and he couldn't raise his head with his body bent.

"Mother, for you, this is my dowry, plus the savings over the years, there are more than eight taels in total."

"There are also a few pieces of jewelry here, one is the silver hairpin that I married, the other is the hairpin brought by Lian'er, I also let her take it off, and this gilded earring." Sun said, and handed the things in his hand to Zhou.

Li Shi saw it, pouted, and knew that he was pretending to be a good person.

She didn't believe that Dafang didn't hide her secrets, Sun was the daughter of Lao Xiucai, and she had a lot more eyes than her.

Li hurriedly squeezed over, "Mother, this is also my dowry silver." ”

"We don't have any income in this house, we can't save money for private houses, so that's all there is to it." Li handed over the two taels of silver in his hand and more than a dozen copper coins.

Looking at the slightly trembling Ye family next to him, the corners of Li's eyes showed a look of pride, "Third brother and sister, my sister-in-law and I have taken out our own money, and the third brother and sister also have a lot of silver." ”

Ye lowered his head in shame and said, "Mother...... I only have so much in my hands. ”

Ye handed the tightly clutched ten cents to Zhou, and lowered his head silently.

"Oh, why is it only ten cents?" Lee's exclamation rang out.

"The third brother and sister won't be reluctant to take it out......"

"Second sister-in-law...... I'm not...... I didn't ......" Ye shook his head again and again, and the shame on his face became even stronger.

"Okay, shut your mouth, you don't speak no one when you're dumb." Zhou pointed at Li and scolded, "Every day with a mouth full of feces, the Song family poured mold for eight lifetimes before marrying a daughter-in-law like you." ”

Zhou glanced at Ye Shi fiercely, opened his mouth, and spit out, "Useless thing." ”

Li pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "If you marry me, you will have at least a dowry and three eldest grandsons." ”

"It's not like some people ......," Li's disdainful eyes swept over Ye.

Ye Shi felt Li's gaze, and his body shrank more and more rickety.

"The sum of these money is only forty-two taels, plus these pieces of jewelry......" Old Man Song's voice was deep.

"Two silver hairpins are counted as one tael of silver each, and gilded earrings are counted as two taels of silver." The leading man looked at the jewelry in Zhou's hand, estimated the price and said.

"Then this is forty-six taels...... there is still a difference of thirty-four taels, Old Man Song sighed.

"If Old Man Song can't get together this silver, then I can only take people." The big man said with a grin.

The corners of his eyes skimmed towards Song Qingrong with bad intentions.

Song Qingrong trembled when she was stared at, and her tears flowed out without money.

Old Man Song snorted secretly, with a burst of disgust in his heart, and said coldly, "Our Song family is a family of scholars, and we will never allow the sale of children and daughters to happen." ”

"I'll never mention this again."

Turning his head to look at Zhou, "I remember that you still have a few pieces of jewelry, and there is a golden slip among them, take them out first, and then talk about passing this level." ”

Old Man Song's words suddenly let time freeze, and Zhou looked at Old Man Song in a daze.

Slowly, his face became more and more ugly, "Let me take the dowry jewelry?" Zhou reconfirmed unwillingly.

Under Zhou's direct gaze, Old Man Song nodded helplessly, and discussed, "You take out the jewelry first and help the family get through this difficulty." ”

"It's hard for you......" Old Man Song said, he knew that those jewelry were valued by the Zhou family, but for the sake of the family, he had no choice but to do so.

Zhou staggered two steps and collapsed to the ground.

Crying out loud, "Oh my God! What's the use of raising a son, when you're old, you have to come to suck my blood and take my coffin. ”

"I'm not alive, kill me!" Zhou kicked his legs, slapped the ground with one hand, and pointed at Song Chengzhong with the other, Song Chengyi scolded angrily, "You two eight lambs, don't learn well, learn to gamble, go back and let your family pay off your debts, you lose your conscience." ”

"Get out of the Song family for me, get out of the Song family." Zhou pointed at Song Chengzhong, Song Chengyi, and then pointed to the door.

"Mother, if we don't leave, we still have to provide for you and your father." Song Chengyi hurriedly got up and went to help Zhou.

Song Chengzhong also supported Zhou on the other side, and the two of them set up Zhou's on the left and right.

"Pension, if you don't make me and your father angry, I'll be thankful, how dare I expect you to provide for me." Zhou stretched out his hand to scratch Song Chengyi.

"Hey...... Mother! Mother ...... "Song Chengyi was caught by Zhou because he was holding Zhou, and he couldn't dodge.

was scratched by Zhou's face twice, and Song Chengzhong was also slapped twice.

In the end, the Zhou family took care of Song Chengzhong's identity as the eldest son, and he also favored Song Chengzhong on weekdays, so he didn't do anything on his face, leaving him two points of face.

"Mother, you can save your two sons, and when your son is rich in the future, your son will buy you a better one." Song Chengzhong looked at Zhou with a poignant look in his eyes, his face full of pleading.

"Mother, if you lose your son, who will be filial to you and who will serve you." Song Chengyi answered.

"Our brothers have to stay with you, bring you water for washing your feet, and pour you a night pot."

"Mother, our brothers will definitely listen to you in the future, and when we have money in the future, we will make up for your jewelry for you as soon as possible."

"Not only make up for it, but we also want to be better, and buy you a golden hairpin when the time comes."

Song Chengzhong nodded in agreement, "Yes, we will buy the best for you, and buy the most fashionable ones." When the time comes, it will definitely look good with it. ”

Let Song Chengzhong and Song Chengyi say that the sky is falling, and Zhou is not moved at all. Those pieces of jewelry are her lifeblood and her dowry.

She usually takes it out when she has nothing to do, and the village knows her jewelry, who doesn't envy her, and which family can come up with such a good dowry, which has always been her pride, and it is also her magic weapon to suppress her daughter-in-law.

Because of her dowry, she has a hard body at home. Now that they want to exploit her dowry, they will directly offend her against her scales, and of course she can't tolerate it.

Zhou's hand tightened, no matter who wanted to beat her dowry, there was no door.
