In a clan like the Xie family, even if it is a side branch, unmarried girls and unmarried sons are all raised by the family.

They can receive some monthly money every month, not a lot, but enough to eat, drink, and chew, and they can add a few new clothes throughout the year.

When it was time for them to get married, the family would give them a sum of money, and the son would marry a wife, and after preparing the dowry, the remaining amount would belong to him, and the girl would be taken away as a dowry.

Of course, there are also those who marry themselves and those arranged by their families.

If the side branch marries on its own, the family only gives 1,000 taels, but if it marries according to the family's arrangement, 3,000 taels can be mentioned, and the girl marries, and the dowry given by the man can also be taken away, and the parents want to add as much as they want to the girl.

Like Xie Su, the Xie family gave three thousand taels, plus the dowry given by the Chen family, even if it costs some money and silver to prepare the dowry, but the money in hand is also four thousand taels, and this money will also be the foundation of her foothold after marriage.

The people inside continued to shout: "Do you hear it, if you don't give it, you won't want to go out tomorrow, don't think it's okay to lock the door!" ”

"Xie Su, do you hear it, open the door for me!"

"Open the door!"

Xie Zhu was so angry that his face was red, and he couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and beat someone.

Which shameless bastard is this, who still wants the family's dowry and dowry for the girl?

Why didn't he go to heaven?

How can there be such a father in the world?

"I'm going to see who you don't let out? Do you have the ability to say it again in front of me?! ”

"Say it to me again!"

At this time, Xie Su's family was standing in the small courtyard, Xie Su's father was surrounded by the mother-in-law and a group of children who married later, Xie Su's father Xie Guang was the one who shouted for Xie Su to take out the dowry and dowry given by the family just now.

Xie Guang married two daughters-in-law before and after, the previous one gave birth to Xie Su, who passed away within two years, and later married the current Qian family, and gave birth to six children.

The stepmother plus six half-brothers and sisters, and these people always bully her in private, Xie Su has not had a good time these years, she wants to marry far away, probably because she wants to stay away from this family.

A group of people turned around and saw that it was Xie Yixiao, Xie Zhu and others standing at the door, and their faces suddenly changed.

Xie Guang shrunk his neck, his eyes dodged, a little afraid.

In fact, there are not necessarily no storms on the Xie family's side, the main house is quite calm, and they get along well, but on the side branch, every day is like a cross-eyed, their own fight, the fight of the same clan, and trivial things can quarrel.

Qian Shi hurriedly showed a flattering smile: "The thirteenth girl and the eldest girl are here, are they going to add makeup to Ah Su?" Come in. ”

Xie Guang was born thin, but Qian was born with a round face, chubby, and the flesh on his face was squeezed together when he laughed.

Xie Zhu sneered: "Don't try to fool the past, I heard it just now, if you don't give an explanation, I'll tell the eldest aunt to go back, and then let the eldest aunt come and ask what you want to do?" ”

The girl of the Xie family got married, and their parents dared to withhold the dowry and dowry given to her by the clan, I am afraid that they don't want to stay anymore?

To put it bluntly, these sons and girls are all raised by the family, what qualifications do they have to detain these?

Qian's face turned pale: "Big girl, you misunderstood, we were just talking about playing, and we were also afraid that Ah Su would be ignorant, and when the time came, we would give the money and silver to her, so we just wanted to keep it for her, but we didn't dare to detain her things." ”

"Since you don't dare, then don't say what you said just now, and don't have such thoughts." Xie Yi raised his eyes with a smile and said,

"Although Ah Su is going to marry Jiangzhou, the road is a little farther, but it is not that he can't communicate with letters, but if you let us know that you dare to do such a thing, you will vomit out as much as you eat, and the clan will definitely not spare it."

Qian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the thirteenth girl said is, we will definitely not dare, you few, come and give the thirteenth aunt and the eldest girl a gift." ”

A group of boys and girls all stepped forward.

"Meet Aunt Thirteen."

"Meet the big girl."

Xie Zhu was still a little angry, but he didn't hold on: "Okay, you guys go aside." ”

At this time, Xie Su heard the movement outside subside, and then opened the door, because she was about to get married, she was wearing a cherry red dress, the clothes were still freshly made, neat and beautiful.

She was born with a delicate face, a little thin, a pair of golden butterfly hairpins on her head, and two peach blossoms wrapped in flowers, which made her whole person delicate and lovely, quiet and soft.

"I've seen the thirteenth aunt and the eldest girl."

Xie Zhu stepped forward and pulled her into the house, Xie Yixiao nodded, took the box in Mingjing's hand, and followed in, and the rest of the people stayed outside the door.

As soon as she entered the door, Xie Zhu saw that the door was closed, so she asked her, "Is Qian Yin still there?" ”

She is going to get married tomorrow, and the money should be sent in the morning.

Xie Su lowered his head: "Yes." ”

"That'll do." Xie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "You must not be soft-hearted and give them money and silver, you marry Jiangzhou, and you will have this amount of money and silver, if you give them it, it will not be easy in the future." ”

Xie Yi smiled and said: "Ah Zhu is right, you have this money, you can keep it in the future, and you can save the emergency if something happens, or prepare one or two shops and grange to operate, this is your foundation." ”

"You are not the master of the house when you marry, if you spend a copper plate to open to your husband's family, it will not be a good time, but since you dare to marry far away, you will have some success in your heart, and you should not be soft-hearted, but you must also prevent them from robbing."

"What I said earlier is not bad, if they dare to rob it, although Jiangzhou is far away, it is not that they can't even communicate with letters, even if you get married tomorrow, you can write back."

"Thank you Thirteen Aunt and Big Girl." Xie Su breathed a sigh of relief, she was also afraid that these people would use any means to deal with her, and when the time came, they would snatch the money and silver, which was the money she would rely on for survival in the future, and no one would give it.

Xie Yixiao took out the box: "This is a gift for you, I hope you will marry someone in the future and live a good life, I heard that Chen Gongzi is also a good person, although he is married far away, but your family is still there, if you are bullied, you will write back." ”

"Open it and take a look."

Xie Su nodded, the box contained a pearl hairpin, a pair of pearl earrings, and a silver ticket, which was exactly two hundred taels.

Xie Su paused, and was about to say something, and then heard Xie Yi smile again: "The pearl hairpin ear bell is on the surface, you can collect the silver ticket yourself, don't tell anyone, I can't give it to everyone, you are married far away, and it is good to have more money in your hand." ”
