Xie Xiuwen and Liu Shen went into the room alone to talk, first chatting about their studies, and then turning to Liu Ruolan's mother and daughter.

"At that time, thanks to the clever Bao Bao, she also knew that the cousin who was looking for you came to call us over, and I heard that it was also her idea to let your nephew pretend to be a woman."

Xie Xiuwen was very happy, there was nothing that made him happier than hearing his daughter praise him.

"Good Bao is indeed smart, but the son-in-law is also a little worried."

Liu Shen glanced at him: "But are you worried that Huiji will be injured?" ”

Xie Xiuwen's face was dyed with a little melancholy: "It's a good thing that Bao Bao is smart. But she is just a child now, I don't take care of her at home, but she still has to think about how to maintain her aunt from time to time, every time I think about it, I feel ashamed of their mother and daughter. ”

Liu Shen probably understood what he meant.

"You can study in peace, and I will let your mother-in-law and a few sisters-in-law talk to her more. Ruolan's temperament is indeed too soft, she is your wife, and you don't have to hide it too much when it's time to preach. ”

"Yes, the son-in-law already has some ideas in his heart, but it still needs time."

Liu Shen nodded, this son-in-law has an idea, and he can rest assured.

"Will you succeed in the township test next year?"

Xie Xiuwen's eyes flashed, and he knew that what his father-in-law asked must not only be his knowledge.

"The beans around me should be credible, there is still a year to go to the hometown test, a few days ago I went to the patriarch, listen to his old man's meaning, is to hope that I can bring more juniors in the clan."

Liu Shen knew that this was thinking that he would bring a few clansmen by his side, not only to help him run errands, but also to get some guidance from him in his spare time.

"It's fine. The bean next to you is young, and he is the only one, usually he doesn't show anything, but when it comes to a critical moment, he alone is a little weak. ”

"That's what you said."

"Let's see at that time, if the Xie family can't pick out the right one, these juniors of my Liu family can also do it, and the second child said before that he would escort you to the scientific examination next year."

Xie Xiuwen smiled lightly, he knew the affection of several uncles to him.

After a few more small talks, the conversation turned to the restaurant.

"Father-in-law, it's a good thing that I see that the business of the restaurant is booming, but a few brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews are not good to work there for nothing every day. The meaning of the son-in-law is that everyone can get some money a month, a hundred dollars is not too little, and a tael of silver is not too much. What do you think? ”

In fact, Liu Shen is also thinking about this these days.

The current harmony between several brothers does not mean that they can be harmonious for a long time.

In particular, the eldest man works in the yamen and receives a monthly payment, while the second and third children help in their own stores, and they usually have no monthly money, which is indeed a disadvantage to them.

"Well, then whoever works in the restaurant will be given ten copper plates per person a day, what do you think?"

This month's money is just a formality, and the real big one has to be dividends.

There are people in the three rooms who work in the restaurant, and it is not good if the monthly money is too high, after all, the grandchildren take turns to go to the restaurant to do chores.

"But, it's good for my father-in-law to call the shots."

Weng and his son-in-law agreed on this matter, and Xie Xiuwen took out a few more silver tickets.

"Father-in-law Rongyu, this silver ticket of one hundred taels was given by Liu Xueyi on behalf of the Song family, if I don't accept it, I'm afraid that Liu Xueyi and the Song family will not be at ease, and they promised to marry Song Tingting far away, and the matter can be regarded as a settlement."

Liu Shen nodded, "It's good for you to call the shots." ”

"There are a total of two hundred taels of silver tickets here, and the son-in-law still wants to ask his father-in-law for help."

Liu Shen raised his hand to stop him, and then called his wife and several sons in.

"Alright, you can talk about it now."

Xie Xiuwen smiled, knowing that he didn't want his uncles to be distracted, so he had to say what he thought in his heart.

"I have inquired about a shop, which is bigger than our current restaurant, I want to buy it, but it is not good to fall under my name, so I want to ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to help, just say that your life is better, and make up for Ruolan's dowry, so that this shop will fall into her name, and my parents will not embarrass her because of it in the future."

The Dazhi Dynasty clearly stipulated that a woman's dowry could be taken care of by herself, whether she was divorced or divorced, she had to be taken away by the woman.

In other words, this dowry is equivalent to the woman's private property, and even the elders of the in-laws are not allowed to deprive it at will.

And the grandfather of the Xie family is a person with a heavy reputation, so naturally he will not allow the rumors of the elders in the family forcibly robbing his daughter-in-law's dowry.

Boss Liu thinks it is feasible, so that this shop is in the name of his sister, and it can also be convenient for her to save some silver in her hand.

"But these two hundred taels, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

Liu Lao Er questioned, after all, the restaurant they rented, a little smaller one would cost two hundred taels to buy, since the location he said was better and the house was bigger, how could it be more than two hundred taels.

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "Enough." The shop was in a hurry to change hands, and I heard that there was a disaster in the family, so I wanted to sell the shop and go back to my hometown to make a living. ”

Boss Liu laughed and said, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

"Sort of. Then I'll have to trouble my uncle. ”

Boss Liu waved his hand, but it was just a gesture, and it was not troublesome.

"Brother-in-law, if you buy this shop, what are your plans for in the future? You can't always be empty, can you? Are you planning to rent it out, or are you thinking about making a living on your own? ”

Before Liu Laosan's words fell, Liu Laosan took his elbow and turned it: "Are you stupid?" My brother-in-law still has to study! How does he make a living? However, you can consider letting someone else do it. ”

Xie Xiuwen nodded, he did have this idea.

"I won't rent it out, I spend money on studying, and I can't sit back and eat. I'm thinking of opening a restaurant too, but unlike you, I'll have to trouble a few brothers to help take care of it. ”

Liu Shen understood a little at this time: "You mean, you directly use this shop and the livelihood as our dowry to supply Ruolan?" ”

Xie Xiuwen smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

The eyes of several uncles widened, didn't they expect their brother-in-law to play so big?

This is completely guarding his family.

"You can consider this step for their mother and daughter, it can be seen that you are attentive."

Xie Xiuwen smiled bitterly, what if he didn't care?

The family is obviously not a poor family, but if you want to eat a bowl of custard, you have to look at other people's faces, and the wife is even more restrained everywhere, in the final analysis, it is he, the man, who has failed to support their mother and daughter.

"You can rest assured in this matter, since it is the dowry that our Liu family made up for Ruolan, then there is no need to worry about the rest, let the boss do it all."
