Chapter 137: Father's Dowry
"I said that Luan gold bracelet was too expensive, you had to buy it, it cost a whole two taels of silver." During the meal, without waiting for Xi Yuexin to ask, Fang's first complained: "When I married your father, your father gave me a copper bracelet, you are generous, I have raised you for decades, and I haven't seen you send me a silver bracelet, and my daughter-in-law has not passed the door, so I bought a Luanjin bracelet for two taels of silver." ”
Hearing Fang's complaint, Xi Yuexin's hand paused for a moment, but she didn't say anything and continued to eat.
No matter what kind of dowry Xi Baolin bought, she, as a junior, has no right to express her opinion.
"Mother, Xiaozhu, an eighteen-year-old girl, is willing to marry me a man in his thirties, I have already taken a big advantage, and I can't wronged her anymore." Xi Baolin was willing to pay two taels of silver to buy the Luan gold bracelet, and he had his own reasons.
When he first proposed, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that not only Xiaozhu was willing, but even her family was willing, which made Xi Baolin both surprised and moved.
He is not only old, but also has a daughter, Hou Xiaozhu is willing to marry him, Xi Baolin always feels that he has taken a big advantage, so he will think of making up for Hou Xiaozhu in material terms.
"Yes, yes, she is wronged, the family has to build a new house, you have spent all the money, see what you use to build a new house." The son defended his future daughter-in-law like this, which made the Fang family very dissatisfied.
"Mother, the house will be built, but I don't want to be too shabby in the dowry." Xi Baolin said firmly.
In the evening, after Xi Yuexin washed up, she went directly to Xi Baolin's room to wait for him.
"Xinxin, what's wrong so late?" Xi Baolin, who returned to the room after washing, saw Xi Yuexin sitting at the Eight Immortals table in his room, and asked in surprise.
"Give." Xi Yuexin didn't say anything, and directly put the prepared ten taels of silver on the table.
"Xinxin, what are you going to do here?" Looking at the ten taels of silver ingots on the table, Xi Baolin asked unhappily.
"Marry a bride for your father." Xi Yuexin said with a smile.
"Take it back." Xi Baolin's swarthy face became darker and darker.
"Dad, the family is going to build a new house, and you want to get married, and when you are short of money, you will take it as if you are asking me to borrow it." Xi Yuexin even helped Xi Baolin think of the reason for giving the silver.
"How can anyone be a father, ask his daughter for silver, take it back quickly." Xi Baolin said in a deep voice.
"Dad, you gave birth to me and raised me to such a big age, you can afford these ten taels of silver." Seeing that Xi Baolin resolutely refused to accept it, Xi Yuexin felt that he was about to run out of words.
"Since I am your father, I should raise you."
"I don't care, anyway, if my father doesn't accept these ten taels of silver, I have to accept it." Seeing that Xi Baolin refused to accept it no matter what he said, Xi Yuexin simply stiffened, stood up and walked to the door of the room.
"Xi Yuexin, if you don't take the silver back tonight, don't call me dad again in the future." Xi Baolin said fiercely.
"If you don't call, you won't call, if you don't let me call Dad, then I'll call Dad, or Dad, hum!" After Xi Yuexin finished speaking, she let out a heavy nasal voice before leaving Xi Baolin's room.
Listening to Xi Yuexin's rogue words, Xi Baolin almost laughed, how could he not have noticed that his daughter was so good at catching words before.
Looking at the silver ingots shining white under the oil lamp, Xi Baolin sighed, and had to put away the silver, he did use a lot of silver for today's bridal gift, enough to use half of his silver deposit, and his silver deposit was just ten taels.
