"What's the matter?" Tao Wangsheng raised his head and asked.

Tao Sixi said: "This is the middle of May, and my eldest sister is about to get married in less than six months, how is her dowry prepared?" Shouldn't you take it seriously as your grandfather said that day, and don't give my eldest sister a dowry? ”

Tao Wangsheng smiled, "Your father said angry words at the dinner table that day, how can you not give a dowry?" Then why will your eldest sister look up at her in-law's house in the future? ”

Tao Sixi smiled and nodded: "What Dad said is that our biological mother is long gone, but fortunately, there is still Dad who loves us and protects us." ”

Tao Wangsheng grinned, but there was an indescribable sourness in his heart.

Tao Sixi then asked: "The days are approaching day by day, so how is my eldest sister's dowry prepared?" ”

Tao Wangsheng said: "I haven't started to prepare yet, your lord said, when the rice and cotton are all in the warehouse in the autumn, and then prepare the dowry seriously." Hey, don't worry, as long as you have money, it's very fast! ”

"Silver?" Tao Sixi raised his eyebrows, "Is it the bride price of the four taels of silver sent by the Ge family?" ”

Tao Wangsheng nodded.

Tao Sixi said: "But I heard some rumors that the expenses of our old Tao family during this period of time came from the bride price!" ”

Tao Wangsheng's eyes widened, and the movements in his hands paused: "Where did you hear that?" This...... Can't you? ”

Tao Sixi hooked his lips, "Anyway, there are people outside who are spreading it, saying that it was spread by our family, and it is said that there is a nose and eyes!" ”

Tao Wangsheng's face was full of suspicion, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly put down the half-knitted straw sandals in his hand and got up and walked out of the firewood room, and went straight to the east house in the front yard.

Tao Sixi didn't miss this good opportunity to watch the excitement, so he hurriedly followed.

Tao Wangsheng rushed into the east house, Ma and Tao Laohan were there, and Zhu and Tao Sanxia were also sitting aside.

In the middle of the room, Wang Taohua was wearing a brand-new red dress and was walking in circles around the room.

On the side, Zhu and Tao Sanxia were competing to boast, and Tao Laohan also squinted and nodded again and again.

Seeing Tao Wangsheng suddenly come in, Wang Taohua was still a little embarrassed, and quickly hid next to Ma and sat down.

Ma raised his head and asked Tao Wangsheng: "The boss came just in time, look at how your niece is wearing this dress?" They all said they were good-looking, and they thought they were good-looking, just like when your sister was a girl in her mother's house......"

Tao Wangsheng glanced at his niece, and then at his niece Tao Sanxia, the two of them wore red and blue, all of them were summer skirts cut in the past few days.

The man turned his head to look at the four girls behind him, who were dressed in coarse cloth and had patches on her shoulders and elbows.

The other two girls also don't have half a new dress!

"Dad, mother, I came to discuss with you, it's time to prepare our Dalan's dowry!" Tao Wangsheng did not answer Ma's question, but said directly.

Ma Shi was surprised, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the old man Tao who was smoking a dry cigarette at the table.

Tao Laohan spit out the smoke ring in his mouth unhurriedly, and said without flirting his eyelids: "It's still early for the big girl to get married, don't be in a hurry to prepare, wait for the autumn harvest to ......."

"Dad, is the bride price of the four taels of silver still there?" Tao Wangsheng asked again.

Tao Laohan raised his eyelids and looked at Tao Wangsheng at this time: "Boss, what do you mean by asking this?" ”

There was no turning back from the bow, Tao Wang stiffly said: "I heard some bad things outside, saying that our family embezzled the bride price money of the big girl, I don't believe it, so I naturally want to come over and ask my father and mother to understand." ”
