Chapter Ninety-Five: Drawing the Line

"The second child is like this, it's okay to pretend to be the maximum, I prepared a board in the study, if Lin Hai wasn't wearing an official uniform today, his son would have beaten him. Yuan'er, a few of you can see it clearly, don't look for this kind of man at any time, look at the scenery and Jiyue, in fact, there is only himself in his heart, at most, he has his own cub, and everyone else is not important. Jia Yu hurriedly said. I didn't look down on Lin Hai last time, but this time Jia Zheng dared to say that Jia Yu felt sorry for himself if he didn't step on it.

"In this way, can they still go out and choose by themselves? Or are we optimistic about it outside, and then give it to them? Jia Zheng also knew that Jia Yu was giving him the stairs, so he hurriedly smiled and held tea for the old lady, thought about it, shook his head gently, and said to Yuan Chun, "Don't put your heart on others, it's all fake." ”

"See, this is a man, for men, it's all fake, only their own cubs are real. Don't take yourself too seriously, you're just a cub to them. Jia Yu stroked his palms and laughed.

"I can't teach you this, but your eldest master and second master are very right, you are just the mother of other people's cubs. Anyway, no matter what time it is, take care of yourself and your cubs first. As the old saying goes, I'd rather have the begging mother than the official's father. Anyway, you can give birth to cubs, and you are not the only one, you die, just use your dowry to marry another room, if your mother's family does not give up, you will really die in vain, and then you have to say that your mother's family is not sensible. I didn't see it, so I made a cold face, and your second master still wants to say that I did it. I don't ask him for the Lin family, he Lin someone, I can't be cold yet? Why? ”

Ou Mengmeng stared at Jia Zheng, she knew Jia Zheng's thoughts, although she didn't have to take care of Jia Min now, she still had to take care of Daiyu. Besides, whose real son-in-law and mother-in-law can really have one heart? It's all face-saving, and everyone forms a community of interests. There is no point in throwing a tantrum in front of yourself.

However, Ou Mengmeng was really annoyed by Lin Hai, she read the letter written by Lin Hai, and then looked at the previous twenty years, the people who wrote the letter were Jia Min, after Jia Min's death, Lin Hai wrote a letter to report the funeral, and added the last letter, plus this time, the tone is actually very revealing.

The last report of the funeral is actually a general official article, and there is not much emotion in the whole article, in his opinion, the post-Jia Min era is more important, so Jia Mu sent someone to pick up Daiyu. (Many people said that Jia's mother felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she forcibly picked it up.) But looking at the time is a little interesting. Jia Min died in October; In November, the Lin family was ready to send Daiyu to Beijing; Embarked on December 2nd. On the way, they traveled one way for a month. What Lin Hai said to Daiyu in the book, 'I am nearly half a hundred years old, I have no intention of remarrying, and your body is not good...... These words all show that Lin Hai has decided to send his daughter to Beijing after his wife's death. And Jia Mu just saw it, so she took it. )

This time, please An Xin, that is, he obediently returned to Beijing, and there was much more temperature throughout the article. He saw the value of the Jia family. Just said that for these men, the most important thing is their cubs, in fact, this Ou Mengmeng doesn't believe it, for Lin Hai, in fact, Lin Daiyu is still not the most important thing to him now. At least in the letter, he still has an arrangement for Lin Daiyu. Arrangement and entrustment, these are two kinds of emotional support, how can she be kind to Lin Hai?

Jia Zheng was helpless and hurriedly stepped forward, "Yes, my son is wrong." Whatever you want to be in the future, be it. I don't like to see Brother-in-law Lin, so I won't allow him to enter Jiafu in the future. ”

"Speaking of which, according to the law, your sister's dowry is to be sent back half, but I am just a daughter like her, she has blood and bones, regardless of her daughter or son, I will give Daiyu all the dowry, what do you think?" Ou Mengmeng raised her eyes and looked at Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's brothers.

When Jia Min got married, it was the best time for the Jia family, and her ten-mile red makeup was by no means inferior to the dowry when Mrs. Wang entered the door. Now that Jia Min is dead and has only one daughter, according to the law, half of the dowry must be returned to her mother's house. Ou Mengmeng didn't want it herself, but she couldn't disrespect the opinions of her two sons. After all, compared to the beginning, the Jia family's environment is not a little worse now. The half of the dowry is divided between the two brothers, and one can also be divided. So she had to ask her son's opinion.

"Yes!" Jia Yu and Jia Zheng nodded together, they didn't think about getting it back when they gave it out, but now that her sister is dead, she only has one daughter, according to the law, she has to send half of it back to her mother's house. The remaining half was given to Daiyu as a dowry. Now my mother said that she didn't want half of it, and it was no problem to give Daiyu all the dowry.

"Go and get the dowry bill." Ou Mengmeng nodded and nodded to Amber. Amber hurriedly went to get a small box and put it next to Ou Mengmeng, Ou Mengmeng opened it and took two volumes to Jia Yu first, "This is the dowry list of the Zhang family and the Xing family, after the death of the Zhang family, the Zhang family didn't mention it, I will see that you are not pleasing to the eye, and I didn't mention it." Now you clean up and see if there are any souvenirs for the children, so it's a thought; Xing's family has no children, so don't ask for her dowry, she still has to support her when she turns around. ”

The old lady accepts this as the authority of the housewife, marries the daughter-in-law and enters the door, and sends the dowry list, which is the thing that the daughter's family will use for the rest of her life, indicating that my daughters are self-sufficient, and some families also put a small gold coffin in the pressure box, which is used for funerals when they die. So I really don't need a stitch or a thread from my husband's family to express my toughness. And the old lady has never asked for the dowry of the daughters-in-law, it is your own private property, and it is a courtesy for her to receive the bill, which does not mean that she covets it.

Jia Yu took it and answered. The Zhang family is actually from a noble background, and her best dowry is her reputation and the connections of the Zhang family's literati. It's just that it didn't work. As for Xing's, Jia Yu didn't bother to open it and take a look.

Ou Mengmeng took out another volume and gave it to Jia Zheng, "This is Wang's, I told her too, I don't want him, Yuan'er and Baoyu's marriage, I will deal with it, so that she doesn't have to worry." ”

"Mother." Jia Zheng blushed, not ashamed, but angry. Although the woman's dowry is her private finance, her husband's family should not covet it. But like Wang, Jia Zheng is not a human being if he is not angry.

"Alright, but by the way. The point is this, this is your sister's, you take it to Lin Hai, explain what I mean, let him calculate the money for Min'er's funeral, and I will give it to him. Then the dowry was restored and put in the Lin family's separate warehouse. The list is put in the yamen for the record, as for Min'er's accompanying rooms, you go and bring them back, don't make trouble for Daiyu in the future. Ou Mengmeng said that the daughter-in-law was by the way, mainly to talk about the daughter's dowry.

"Can you call the roommate back? I'm afraid that the Lin family still thinks we think? "Jia Yu has been picking up people these days, but he has collected some snacks, and he really feels that there are no good people in Hongtong County. My sister has been in the Lin family for more than 20 years, after all, she is also the mother of a house, and her companion room should have been left to Daiyu's team, but I am afraid that many things of the Lin family are also in their hands, and now they are taking it back, I am afraid that the Lin family thinks that the Jia family should not be.

"It's because they're afraid that they'll think we're thinking. Daiyu is a daughter, whether Lin Hai wants to remarry or not, that's his business. Let's take care of Daiyu. With your sister's dowry alone, Daiyu can marry beautifully. As for the Lin family, what does it have to do with our Jia family? Ou Mengmeng sneered.

"Yes!" Jia Zheng understood, took it with both hands, didn't look at it, and put it aside.

Ou Mengmeng can do it because she has no feelings for such a group of people as the Jia family, if it is Jia's mother, she will actually have a lot of concerns, Lin Hai is capable, and the Jia family is incompetent, so various factors add up, and I have to be patient. Like Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, because there are children and grandchildren in the middle, Yuanchun, pension, Jia's family style and other factors, so she endured it. But these have nothing to do with Ou Mengmeng, I can't bear it, why should I bear it. Whoever bears it, I can't bear it. It is this temper that makes everyone unable to take her.
