Chapter 651: The Dowry That Can't Be Kept

When the White Lotus saw the Zhu family, there was still a look of grievance on her face. Obviously, she came to borrow money and ask for people, but she put on a picture of being greatly wronged, as if it was a painful thing to let her bow her head.

Looking at her like that, Zhu didn't want to say anything to her, just looked at Chen.

Naturally, the Chen family didn't help the White Lotus speak, but just smiled and said, "The eldest aunt and grandmother want to borrow money from the old lady, how can the old lady have any money?" No, the eldest aunt and grandmother just wanted to talk to their wife......"

Glancing at Chen, White Lotus said directly: "Dad asked you to give me the money." ”

This is here to borrow money?

Zhu Shi rolled his eyelids and said lightly: "I'm afraid you want to be left, our family is not a rich family, how can my father say such a thing?" ”

"What do you mean? Why don't you want to lend me money? ”

"Yo, look at my sister, what are you talking about? Are you here to borrow money? How do I think I'm here to ask for a debt? Zhu sneered and said, "I don't have a good memory, I can't remember when you borrowed money from your sister." ”

The white lotus's eyes were red, and she was aggrieved for a long time before she lowered her head and said, "I know you just want me to bow my head." After the development of Dabao and Erbao, you are holding back your anger in your heart, and you want to get back all the anger you suffered from me and my mother in the past - okay, I will not compensate you. In the past, I was ignorant, and I did something wrong to make you angry, and I asked you not to remember the villain, just forgive me! ”

After speaking, he also looked at Zhu with red eyes: "In this way, are you satisfied?" ”

Zhu was really not satisfied. Looking at the White Lotus, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

In the past, the Li family and the White Lotus made her feel wronged, she didn't look down on the two of them, but she didn't want to find a back account as the White Lotus said. No matter what, it is also a child who has breastfed herself, and seeing her like this, Zhu is still not happy in his heart.

Sighing, Zhu asked, "Why did you borrow money?" If you want to borrow money, you have to say a reason, right? ”

White Lotus pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "This year's rent has not been confiscated, and my official still has to go to Fucheng to meet friends, and I urgently need moneyβ€”if it weren't for the urgent matter, I wouldn't come to borrow money again." ”

The corners of Zhu's mouth twitched, but he didn't believe it. White Lotus doesn't borrow money, she just wants to ask for money for nothing. Even today, it is said that it is borrowing money, but it is difficult to say whether the money will be returned after being lent out.

was hesitating whether to borrow money, Xu Wenlan had already entered the house.

Seeing Xu Wenlan, Zhu felt that he had a backbone, and pulled his daughter over to tell White Lotus that he wanted to borrow money, and asked with his eyes if he wanted to borrow money.

Xu Wenlan looked at the white lotus, who was silent and aggrieved, and asked directly: "Why did the rent not come up?" This year's harvest is good, and I haven't heard of any family that has confiscated rent, so why is it that you come here and are different from other places! ”

White Lotus was speechless for a while, and only after a while did she say in annoyance: "Anyway, there is something wrong with farming!" I don't understand what my family officials told me, so how do I know how to confiscate the rent! ”

"If you don't understand, just ask!" Xu Wenlan looked at her coldly: "Even if the rent is confiscated, doesn't the Chen family have any savings?" Why did you let a person who had just entered the door run back to his parents' house to borrow money? Did Chen Wentao ask you to come? ”

"Y-Why are you asking so much?" White Lotus still thought that Xu Wenlan had asked too much, and scolded: "If it weren't for the fact that my officials went to Fucheng to meet friends, I wouldn't have come to you to be angry." ”

"Membership is a big deal? Since it's a big deal, he takes the money himself! No matter how bad it is, he will borrow it himselfβ€”don't blame me for not reminding you, you can take your dowry well, and be careful that he has taken your dowry to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. ”

"What are you talking nonsense? My official is a scholar, how can it be like that? ”

As soon as the White Lotus shouted, Xu Wenlan smiled: "The fourth uncle is still a scholar, doesn't this read himself as a thief?" ”

"Y-You just don't want to borrow money, do you?!" White Lotus suddenly stood up, pointed at Xu Wenlan and said, "If you don't want to borrow it, just say it, why are you insulting me like this?" ”

Xu Wenlan was not annoyed, and said lightly: "You are right, my mother and I will not borrow this money." ”

White Lotus was angry: "You have so much money, why don't you lend me?" It's not that there is anything rich and unkind, but it is yours. ”

"Phew, who said we had to borrow you if we had money?" Xu Wenlan sneered: "You don't look at what kind of character you are, just like you, it's better to throw it into the river if you borrow money, you can still hear a sound in the river, you can't even hear a sound when you borrow it!" White Lotus, I've made it clear to you. This Chen Wentao is what you want to marry, we don't want to borrow your light when you live well, and don't come to us to cry when you are bad......"

"Who cries and who cries? I'm going to be an official's wife. My official went back to Fucheng to meet friends this time, just to plan for the future, and when he gets out of the game next year, you just can't talk to me. ”

was annoyed by Xu Wenlan's words, and White Lotus no longer suffered from this, and ran away after scolding a few words.

Zhu also felt that something was wrong: "She, will something happen if she just leaves?" Or give her two taels of silver? Save any more delays. ”

Xu Wenlan raised her eyebrows: "The two taels of silver are not the ones you worked hard to save?" Do you really think that Chen Wentao went to Fucheng for the sake of activities? I see, that person is the same as the fourth uncle, and I don't know how to harm money! ”

Zhu thought about it, and felt that Chen Wentao really didn't look like a person who studied hard, so he ignored it.

said that the White Lotus went home without borrowing money, Chen Wentao didn't say anything, just sighed, and said that he was afraid that the matter of the middle move would be delayed again.

If Xu Wenlan is here, he has to be scolded for relying on knowledge, is it a relationship?

But White Lotus was uneasy, only thinking that she had mistaken the official's business, and finally gritted her teeth, opened the dowry box, and took five taels of silver to Chen Wentao.

Chen Wentao repeatedly praised her for her virtue, and entrusted her three sons to the White Lotus, and went to Fucheng the next day.

White Lotus takes care of three and a half children at home, although there is a servant woman to help, and she doesn't need to do too much work, but just taking care of three and a half children, she has exhausted her mental strength, and she has never fought with people like this before, let alone been tricked like this.

was so angry that she lay on the bed and cried so much that her eyes were swollen, if she hadn't thought that Chen Wentao had gone to Fucheng to carry out activities, she would have been able to lift it soon, she would have been unable to bear it for a long time.

After seven or eight days, Chen Wentao came back from Fucheng, only saying that he had found a relationship, but if he wanted to get things done, he had to spend more money.

The White Lotus thought about it again and again, so she took ten taels of silver from the dowry box.

Who would have imagined that since then, the silver in her hand has flowed out like water, and she can't collect it.

In less than half a year, her dowry box was empty, and she could no longer take out any more money.
