Chapter 132: The One Hundred and Thirty-Second Day of Becoming an Old Lady
Hu Baozhu returned to the room in a daze, she pretended to be calm in front of Boss Hu, and she couldn't hold it back when she returned to the room. Suddenly sat down on the bed, tears poured out.
She is already eighteen years old, who is not married at this age? Even her small hair has also become a family and has a baby, but she has stayed until now.
It is said that the old lady spoils her and is reluctant to let her get married. Will the result of spoiling her be to ruin her marriage and leave her at home?
Hu Baozhu bit his lip to prevent himself from crying.
She didn't understand what the old lady wanted to do, what good did it do to her if she ruined her marriage?
Thinking of what Boss Hu said, the silver is in his own hands, Hu Baozhu wiped away his tears and went to the old lady to ask for her dowry.
She is going to get married, and it will only be a few days after all, so she should have given her earlier.
Zhang Yuanwai gave five thousand taels of silver tickets, and all the silver that should have belonged to her went into the old lady's pocket. Hu Baozhu originally felt that the old lady loved her, but now it seems that she is simply drilling into the eyes of money.
She didn't ask for much, five thousand taels, and if she gave her five thousand taels of silver, she believed that the old lady loved her in her heart.
Five thousand taels?
The old lady didn't even want to give her five hundred taels.
What to do with her?
was coaxed by Boss Hu again, and when the time came, he lost his wife and broke his soldiers.
"Zhu'er, the relationship between you and Zhang Yuanwai has not yet been decided, and you are in such a hurry to ask for a dowry, it's not like that."
The old lady's eyes twitched, trying to suppress it with her identity. But for Hu Baozhu, the more she doesn't give, the more it means that there is a ghost in her heart.
"Mother, I'm not a child either, it's just right to ask for a dowry now."
She blocked all the old lady's excuses, and her attitude was strong, and she had to do it.
The raised eyebrows bring unbeatable toughness, Hu Baozhu doesn't listen to lies, she wants to see the silver.
The old lady put down her work and became serious.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
She looked at Hu Baozhu curiously, it had only been a long time, and she had said it well before, but she regretted it so quickly?
"Mother just say if you don't give it to me." Hu Baozhu was stubborn, she recognized that only when there is money can there be love, and the old lady said that no matter how much it is, it is not as important as giving her silver.
The stubborn Hu Baozhu's eyes were full of determination, she didn't need an explanation, she didn't need a reason, she just wanted silver.
She made her meaning so clear that the old lady couldn't say it again.
"Give, of course." She first affirmed that she would give, and then said:
"Wait a few more days......"
"I want it now. Since the mother wants to give, it will not be bad for a few days. ”
Hu Baozhu blocked all the old lady's explanations, saying that she wanted silver.
Five thousand taels of silver is very difficult for the Hu family. But because of the old lady's previous words, it was reasonable for her to ask for five thousand taels of silver at this time.
"My mother doesn't have that much money on hand, besides, I have to buy you a shop in the city......"
"I don't want a shop, give me money, and I'll buy it myself."
No matter what the old lady said, Hu Baozhu was bent on asking for silver. The old lady talked too much, and she showed a posture of "you don't spoil me", which made the old lady in a dilemma.
After all, five thousand taels is not a small amount, and the old lady really can't make it up for a while. But Hu Baozhu recognized that there is no love without money, and the old lady did not let go of her mouth after wearing out her mouth, and Hu Baozhu's heart was half cold at the moment.
She felt more and more that Boss Hu's words were reasonable, and the old lady didn't care about her life or death for the sake of money, and stirred up a good marriage. The Zhang family is a good family that is difficult to find with lanterns, and there is no such shop in this village, if she misses the Zhang family, she will be an old girl for a lifetime, and she will never marry again.
Hu Baozhu shook his face at the old lady and turned his head to find Boss Hu. After asking Zhang Yuanwai if he had her, he really didn't marry a wife anymore? She didn't think about being a concubine, but according to what Zhang Yuanwai said, she was just a concubine, but she could be a wife, but it was not impossible.
"Of course, Zhang Yuanwai hasn't married a wife all these years, the wife he married must be someone he really loves, if he hadn't met you, he would not have moved Hongluan in this life."
In response to this, Hu Baozhu dared to ensure that Zhang Yuanwai was clean and self-conscious. On weekdays, they will also do red sleeves to add fragrance, but Zhang Yuanwai has always been well-behaved and charming.
Boss Hu suddenly felt that something was wrong when he said it, and he looked at Hu Baozhu in surprise:
"Zhu'er, do you want to be his concubine? This is not good, our old Hu family does not have this kind of rule. ”
Boss Hu resolutely stopped it, his sister who had loved him for 18 years was not a concubine! Besides, does Zhang Yuanwai have a little money? Isn't it just that you can help him become an official? Don't you just like Hu Baozhu so much that you can't extricate yourself...... What is this?
In the face of the concubinage problem, all of this is nothing.
It's good that he doesn't say this, but when he says this, Hu Baozhu is even more firm in his position.
"Then what kind of rules do we have, beat our sons mercilessly, and leave our daughters until they can't get married?"
Hu Baozhu looked at Boss Hu with tears in her eyes, how ruthless is her mother? The son who used to be so pampered is now beating mercilessly.
Boss Hu is a showman, and he wants face the most, but the old lady's stick is all hit in the face. Today is even more excessive, beating him in front of the Sun family, what face will Boss Hu have in the Xiucai circle in the future?
It is better to use the power of the Zhang family to become an official in other places and avoid this difficult time.
Boss Hu was silent, he felt that Hu Baozhu was reasonable, but as an elder brother, he really couldn't bear to watch Hu Baozhu become a concubine.
Hu Baozhu doesn't care about himself, what does it matter if he cares?
"Big brother, you help me, I don't want to be an old girl."
Hu Baozhu grabbed Boss Hu's arm tightly and pleaded. At her age, she couldn't find a suitable person, and the second cow in the next village stared at her all day long, and she said she didn't like it, and the person was still chasing after her. Look at other people, either it's bad here, or it's not appropriate there, my mother only cares about her family background and doesn't care about whether she likes it or not.
But she knew that she liked Zhang Yuanwai, even as a concubine, she liked him.
Hu Baozhu pinned her hopes on Boss Hu, and her net worth and life were all pinned on him.
"Mother won't ......" Boss Hu is trying to persuade Hu Baozhu not to be a concubine, the old lady will not be so excessive, she still loves Hu Baozhu.
Cherish?
Hu Baozhu had discussed this before, but now she has completely understood the old lady's thoughts.
"I've tried it, but my mother won't give me the dowry."
Saying that there is no money is just a pretext. No matter what the Sun family gave, even Zhang Yuanwai's five thousand taels of silver were enough to pay her dowry.
But the old lady just doesn't give, it's not obvious?
"How can my mother ...... That's the dowry your dad prepared for you! ”
Boss Hu was furious, and regardless of his pain, he had to go to the old lady to ask Hu Baozhu for an explanation.
