Chapter 62: Dowry money
Xu Qiao turned around to follow her daughter's bedroom, saw her crying on the bed, and twisted her arm twice in anger.
"You are really my good daughter, just Miao Laosan's time is not enough, you have to drill into the wolf's den yourself!" Xu Qiao bit and hated that iron is not steel.
Xue Xiaomin couldn't care about the pain on her body, covered her face and cried, she could have pushed the matter to Zhao Huitong, but she didn't expect Miao Laosan to come and join in the fun, this time she really had no face to meet people.
That Zhao Huitong said that she would fight for herself, and she didn't say anything, Miao Laosan came, and she was watching the excitement as if she was nothing.
Miao Laosan called her daughter-in-law with her mouth closed, making the relationship between the two clear, what would the neighbors think? This time, you must not be drowned by the spit of your neighbors.
Xu Qiao pulled her daughter up and slapped her on the back hard, ashamed, angry and distressed.
"You dead girl, you did such a shameless thing, I see how you end!"
Xue Xiaomin was also irritable in her heart, and she was even more impatient with the lesson of being scolded and beaten by her mother like this, and cried: "You don't have to worry about my own affairs, if you want to lose it, you will lose my own person, if you don't want to recognize me as a daughter, you should not know me, can't I go?" ”
With that, he got up and walked to the door.
Xu Qiao dragged her daughter by the belt, she couldn't bear it in her heart, and her mouth was still chattering.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think it's a shame that if you don't become my daughter, I won't follow you? If you knew there was today, why would you do such a nasty thing! ”
Xue Xiaomin listened to her mother's words so harshly, her eldest girl's family even her own mother wanted to humiliate her like this.
Shook off Xu Qiao's hand, crying and complaining: "You dislike me for being obscene, then you give birth to a noble girl!" Why did you divorce my dad, don't you know in your heart? It's not because you're out there for fun, what's better than me? ”
Xue Xiaomin's words were so angry that Xu Qiao almost didn't take his breath, and his face turned pale and staggered back two steps. Pointing to his daughter, he said, "You brute! What a brute! Did you say that about your parents? ”
Outside the room.
Zhao Daodao and Zhao Huitong sat on the sofa and listened to the noise in Xue Xiaomin's house, and they didn't mean to listen to the movement in the house, but Xu Qiao's mother and daughter were too noisy, and it was difficult to hear it.
Zhao Daodao hung his head, thinking that this family had not stopped for a moment since Xue Xiaomin came back, and his wife was not a fuel-efficient lamp, which made him uneasy all day long, and he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
Zhao Huitong poured a glass of water for his father and handed it to him.
"Dad, don't worry about it, drink some water!"
Zhao Daodao pushed away the water handed over by his daughter: "Don't let your Aunt Xu see it, otherwise we will gloat again!" ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Daoguo regards Xu Qiao's mother and daughter as a family, and has never had an idea of not caring about Xu Qiao's mother and daughter, but Xu Qiao's mother and daughter always make her feel awkward about Huitong.
He also saw that the mother and daughter were not good in nature, and how many times they smeared their daughter.
For the sake of this family, he can only choose a neutral attitude, but Xu Qiao, as the head of this family, has always protected his daughter.
There are two children in the family, holding one and stepping on the other, and the family has become a two-family life, and Zhao Daodao always has resentment in his heart after a long time.
He's not a fool, so Xu Qiao fooled himself with a few kind words?
Zhao Huitong saw her father's thoughts and persuaded: "Dad, don't think so much, no matter how hard I get along with Xue Xiaomin, sooner or later there will be a day when we get married, and the days are still your own, don't look at my Aunt Xu who doesn't live with you, but one day when you are old, she has to take care of you, who let her marry you!" ”
It is impossible for Zhao Huitong to persuade her father to divorce, they all say that they are old companions, don't look at Xu Qiao's yelling, but if there is really no Xu Qiao's father, it will not be a day.
But Zhao Daodao doesn't think so, it depends on Xu Qiao's conduct, and it's really hard to say whether he can be good to himself when he gets old.
The noise in Xue Xiaomin's room stopped, only the non-stop crying remained, and Xu Qiao's voice was completely drowned in her daughter's crying, and gradually no movement was heard.
The courtyard door was not closed, and a half-grown child trotted into the living room with an envelope.
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't see outside, and said in a loud voice: "This is the dowry list from the old man of the Jiang family to the daughter of the Zhao family, let your family discuss it with a glance, if there is anything else you need, give a reply, the old man of the Jiang family has no time to visit at work today, I will bring a message for the Jiang family!" ”
The half-grown child looks like he is thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light-bottomed gray plaid cotton suit, with a hairy comb and a double spirit, and he can speak neatly.
"Who are you from the Jiang family?"
Zhao Daodao saw that the kid had love in his eyes, and grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it in his hand.
"I'm a kid from the Jiang family's aunt!"
It turned out to be the son of Jiang Xiuying's family, and the half-grown child didn't recognize his life at all, so he unceremoniously took the candy in Zhao Daodao's hand and turned around and ran away.
Zhao Daodao opened the envelope and looked at the gift list inside, in addition to the color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, tape recorder, four major items, there were several pieces of cloth, a watch, and a 1,000 yuan dowry.
In the ninety-fifth year, the man gave cloth to make new clothes for the woman, and the generous family would send a few more horses for the woman's mother's family to pull a few new sheets, quilts and other bedding by the way.
Zhao Daodao looked at the gift list and was very satisfied, thinking that the Jiang family was a generous family and did not treat their daughter badly.
But Zhao Huitong knew in her heart that the Jiang family's gift list was just for show.
The four major items in the wedding list in the previous life are original in the old house where the Jiang family lives now, that is, Zhao Huitong lived with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after she got married.
The watch is a relic of Jiang Bin's father, Jiang Pingshan. When it was time to pull the material to make clothes, the Jiang family just chose one for her.
Before the wedding, the bride price of 1,000 yuan became 300, and Gao Chunhe also said that he wanted to save it for his son and daughter-in-law, but in the end he didn't even pay 300, and then proposed that on the day of the wedding banquet, everyone should collect the money from his mother-in-law.
Zhao Huitong has been holding her breath since the day she got married, and she doesn't care about the Jiang family's bride price, but her in-law's attitude towards her own careful calculation makes her feel that she is always an outsider.
Zhao Daodao put away the gift list and said: "Go back and give a reply to the Jiang family, just say that we are satisfied, there is no other requirement!" ”
Seeing his father's happy look, Zhao Huitong nodded.
Zhao Daodao got up and went back to the room, took out an iron box that had been sealed for many years from under the bed and took out a passbook in the iron box, reflexively returned to the living room, and handed the passbook to his daughter.
Zhao Huitong, who had already experienced it once, was not surprised, she knew that this was saved for her by her parents since she was a child, and there were a total of 5,000 yuan in it.
"My daughter is going to get married when she grows up, this is a little bit of my heart with your mother, this 5,000 yuan is given to you as your dowry money, let's hold the money in our hands, go to someone's house, and have confidence in our hearts, right?"
Zhao Daodao's face was full of joy when he said this, but Zhao Huitong's tears fell uncontrollably.
Their family is an ordinary family, and they don't know how their parents have to save money to save this money.
She held the passbook and said gratefully, "Thank you, Dad!" But I can't ask for this money! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xu Qiaoqian tear open Xue Xiaomin's door and poke at the door domineeringly.
"What money? Put it down for me! ”
