The Shen family entertained everyone in the Chu family to have refreshments, chatted for a long time, and rested enough before sending the Chu family and his party out of the hospital.

Shen's mother instructed her sons to move the dowry to her daughter's room and put it away, while chatting with her younger brother and sister Zheng: "I really didn't expect that the Chu family's dowry would add so much silver jewelry!" It's not that there is more money and less money, but I didn't expect that I was worried that after my daughter got married, I was afraid that life would be harder! ”

Zheng was originally Shen's mother's cousin, and the relationship between the two families has always been very harmonious, and now Shen Luzhu, who has a niece and niece, has a good family affair, and Zheng is really happy: "No, as soon as the red cloth is lifted, I am almost blinded, and I have never seen so many silver jewelry given as a dowry gift, which shows that this Chu family is really interested in our Luzhu!" ”

"I said that the red cloth covered with a sun can't make it, and it can blind your eyes! However, brother and sister, did you just see Chu Yi and his aunt, but on the big day, she had a straight face, her eyes were dripping, and she sat there as if she had burned her ass on a stool. ”

If it weren't for Chu Yi's sake, Shen's mother would have wanted to kick her out!

"Why didn't you see it, that mother-in-law is a bad one at first glance, I see, maybe it's a dowry for today, but sister-in-law, you don't have to care about her, it's just an uncle who has divided the family and a single family, and it can't hinder our Luzhu's eyes, when the distant relatives are hanging."

The two disgusted aunts of the Shen family, Wang, were hurriedly walking in front of the Chu family at this moment, and Uncle Chu grabbed the mother-in-law's arm and asked, "Why are you walking so fast?" ”

The eldest aunt Wang looked back at the other people who were some distance away, and muttered to his own man in a low voice: "Dad, didn't you look at the dowry just now?" Don't you think it's weird? He Chu Yi married a country girl, how could he use so many dowries, and he made two pairs of silver bracelets alone! I have to go back and ask A-Niang! ”

Uncle Chu's face was full of impatience, and he tugged on his mother-in-law's sleeve: "More is more, what do you ask, who in ten miles and eight villages doesn't know that we have separated out the single, the dowry that Daddy and Auntie prepared for their grandson, is it your turn to ask your daughter-in-law who has divided the family, what do the people in the village say about us?" Stop letting people laugh at us! ”

Hearing this, Wang became even more excited, and stopped and argued with the man: "Why am I letting people see jokes, ah?" Outsiders don't know the truth, what do you care about them! If it weren't for the in-laws who reminded us that the broken birth of the coffin would affect our son's career, we could discuss the separation? Besides, didn't you agree to the separation in the first place? ”

Uncle Chu had a headache when he heard his mother-in-law's loud voice, and hurriedly pulled her to forgive: "It's me, it's me who can't do it yet, you be quieter, quieter!" ”

At the beginning, his son was less than twenty years old in Xiucai, and later went to the town's private school to study, and Li Xiucai, who was teaching, felt that he was a reading material, and he would definitely have a great future in the future, not only did he take care of him on weekdays, but he even had plans to marry his only daughter into the Chu family.

The son came home and mentioned to them that they should not have this great family affair! It's just that Li Xiucai also has concerns, saying that Chu Ren's background is not good, which will hinder his future career in the imperial examination, and also said that if the good seedlings are delayed because of such a world, it will be a pity!

When the mother-in-law heard this, she went home and discussed with him whether to divide the family, he thought that he should be a father and do everything for his son's future, so he cheekily mentioned the separation with Daddy and Auntie, but who knew that this point turned the whole family into a talking point and a laughing stock in the village!

The eldest aunt Wang reluctantly twisted her body: "Wasn't it all for my son, for your old Chu family?" said that the family will not be distracted, the whole family will do their best to provide for us Chu Ren, and in the future, he will be happy with the whole family, and I can't ask about the family's affairs! ”

"Haven't Daddy and Auntie been helping us all the time, the son's marriage, the filial piety of the private school, and the few times I went to Fucheng to catch the exam, which time did I fall!"

Speaking of this, Uncle Chu is very uncomfortable in his heart, Daddy and Auntie are a lot older, and as the eldest son, he first mentioned the separation of the family, not only can he not serve his parents, but he has abandoned the skills that Daddy passed on to him, but he also has to let his parents help his own family in turn, and he is the son!

Wang didn't know that he was a man, he wanted his son to be productive but he was reluctant to break the coffin, he had already split up, and he wanted a good reputation of virtuous and filial piety, he was indecisive, and secretly glanced at the man: "If anyone has an opinion, then say it generously, I, Wang Xiuhua, will definitely break it off with them completely, but when my son comes out in the future, no one will want to come to the side!" ”

"You mother-in-law, when did I say who had an opinion?"

"Since you still recognize our Chu Ren as the eldest grandson of your old Chu family, then I can ask about this dowry!" Without looking back, he walked forward.

Chu Li heard his brother say on the way that the Shen family's sister made him a bookbag as a birthday gift, and as soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to let his brother take it out for him to take a look!

It wasn't enough for me to be rare for half a day, so I carefully showed it to my third uncle and cousin!

"Third uncle, cousin, look, the Shen family's sister made me a bookbag!"

"Sister Shen is really amazing!" Chu Xiuxiu is eleven years old this year, and occasionally does some needlework with her grandmother, but she hasn't done anything independently.

"Well done indeed! This girl from the Shen family is really ingenious! Third Uncle Chu was also happy, and then looked at Chu Yi, who came in closely, and said: "It has to be the girl's family who is careful, Ah Li has been in school for almost a year, and we didn't think to make him a bookbag." ”

"Third uncle, Chu Li has just been enlightened, and he doesn't even have a book yet." The implication is that Chu Libai is excited about this bookbag, and he can't use it!

Chu Li's eyes widened, emphasizing, as if if he didn't fight for it at this time, his schoolbag would be snatched away by his brother the next moment: "Use it!" Mr. said that after learning the three-character scripture and the hundred family names, it is time to learn the thousand-character text, and then you will have to buy books and learn to write! Used! ”

"That's it, tomorrow the third uncle will ask someone to come to the town to buy us Ah Li's books, and then buy some cloth and silk flowers for Xiuxiu!"

As a few people were talking, they heard the door suddenly pushed open!

Grandma Chu stood outside the house with a gloomy face: "Third child, come here!" ”

Chu Yi let the two little ones stay in the house, and helped the third uncle to the hall, and when he saw the uncle and the aunt also sitting in the hall, he guessed what it was for.

Grandpa Chu sat on the main seat smoking a dry cigarette, and when he saw his second grandson helping his youngest son in, he knocked the cigarette stick in his hand: "Let's talk about it, what's going on with today's dowry?" ”

Chu Yi helped Uncle Chu to sit firmly, and he also sat down on the side, before he said lightly: "My grandson changed the bride price to six taels." ”

Didn't my nephew scrape together enough money? Third Uncle Chu glanced at Chu Yi in confusion: "Daddy and Auntie, those three taels were taken out by my son from the private room and added to Ayi, thinking of making a pair for him." ”

Wang originally thought that it was her in-laws who supplied Chu Yi, but when she came back, her mother-in-law didn't know, so she dragged her husband to stay, wanting to hear about it, but she didn't expect it to be a little uncle, and she was even more angry, and interjected with a strange smile: "The third child, that's not just about adding three taels of silver, plus those silver jewelry, I'm afraid there will be ten taels!" That's a lot of money! ”

Third Uncle Chu was even more stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Chu Yi: "What jewelry?" ”

"Grandpa and grandma, the third uncle did add three taels, and the third uncle didn't know about those jewelry, I added it myself."

Chu Yi ignored the eldest uncle's sour words, and only explained to his grandfather and grandmother, fortunately, he thought a lot at the time, and didn't add the four taels directly to the bride price, but he didn't expect the eldest aunt to mix in the middle, and he knew that the three taels should also insist on not letting the third uncle add them.

The eldest aunt Wang was full of disdain, and she added it herself, when she Wang Xiuhua was a fool: "I added it myself, where did you get the money to play jewelry?" I said the third child, Tim has been added, why deceive the family here! It's not the sister-in-law who picks on the matter, Chu Yi hired you to add so much, when we Chu Ren got married, I didn't see anything, but we Chu Ren often worry about the family, your uncle is too partial! ”

When Grandma Chu heard the Wang family mention Chu Ren, she thought that she couldn't make the eldest grandson feel cold, and hurriedly said: "Third child, you are really too unreasonable this time!" ”

When Wang heard this, his mother-in-law was really still facing her own family, and her expression was even more proud!

Third Uncle Chu blushed, his hands tightly grasped the fabric on his pants, obviously angry: "I'm eccentric!" When Chu Ren got married, the family had already been divided, and his father and mother took ten taels out to him, and Chu Yi was dragged to twenty before he decided to settle for his family, and his father and mother gave three taels! ”

With a "bang", the cigarette stick in Grandpa Chu's hand slammed on the table: "Shut up for me!" ”

Grandpa Chu looked around for a week, and it was best to put his eyes on the expressionless second grandson: "Chu Yi, tell me what's going on with those jewelry, to be honest!" ”

Chu Yi knows that even if he tells the truth now, saying that he used the money left by Daddy, it is estimated that no one will believe it, he can't explain why he has been hiding it for so many years, saying that Daddy doesn't believe the people in the family?

can't, I can only make up a lie: "It's A-Niang's relic......"

The eldest aunt Wang interrupted Chu Yi's words with disdain: "How is it possible! Back then...... Mingming"

"Everybody's!" ("What back then?") ”）

Seeing Grandma Chu and Chu Yi looking at him, Wang was shocked that he was a little speechless, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's nothing, it's just, the second brother and sister's family doesn't seem to be so rich, where did they get so much silver jewelry?" ”

"It is indeed a relic of A-Niang, which has always been placed in the grandfather's house, if the eldest aunt doesn't believe it, you can ask!"

His wife was choked by his younger brother and nephew like this, Uncle Chu felt that he was really embarrassed today, and he was afraid that his mother-in-law would speak out, so he hurriedly got up and confessed to his father: "Daddy and Auntie, my son remembered that there was still some work to be done at home, so I will go back first, and come to visit another day when I am free!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly dragged Wang and left!

Seeing that the uncle and aunt were gone, Chu Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has to go to his grandfather's house again when he turns around!
