Chapter 468: Xia Fugui's Worries
When Xia Feier mentioned the marriage, Yuan Xiang's face turned red and she looked shy and stopped talking as if she was a young wife.
Chenxiang sat on the side and smiled and continued: "Fei'er, my mother asked us to buy some dowry for my elder sister, saying that she would buy what she liked, and she also asked Fei'er, you should take us to a better place to buy some jewelry for my elder sister. She said that the family has been supported by my elder sister over the years, and now that my elder sister is married, I can't lose money to my elder sister."
Xia Feier smiled and nodded: "So, then I'll take you to the largest silver building in the town to see jewelry. The jewelry in the silver building is better than in ordinary shops. Otherwise, we'll go and have a look at it now?" Xia Feier said as she was about to get up.
When Yuanxiang heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Fei'er: "Fei'er, don't buy such good things, just buy some at will. It's not a rich family, and you don't have the chance to wear it if you buy such good things. What's the money? Leave more money at home. In the future, buy dowry for the two girls, Chenxiang and Shuixiang."
Chenxiang's eyes were a little wet when she heard this. Her sister had done too much for the family. She had been busy at home since she was sensible. A few years ago, she was busy and raised several of her siblings. Later, they all grew up. She did embroidery work and went up the mountain to pick up mountain goods to make money for her family. During the busy farming season, she had to go to the fields to help. A girl was completely treated as a boy.
Not counting this, even for the sake of her family, she even got married several years later than others. When others were at her age, she had several children, but for the sake of her family, she delayed two years before getting married.
I finally earned some money from Fei'er's house in the past two years. When I first helped Fei'er make sauce at home, I had more than one or two taels of money per month. She didn't spend any money every month, and when she came back every month, she gave all the money to her mother, saying that she would save it.
Later, I went to the sauce factory and my monthly money was higher. In the past two years, all she earned had been worth dozens of taels of silver. In addition to the family's expenses over the years, my mother also left her more than twenty taels of taels, saying that she wanted to buy a dowry, but she wanted it.
Just now, she took out fifteen taels of silver and said she would leave it for the family to build a new house in the future. She would buy a dowry of about ten taels, but now she said she was going to buy a dowry, but now she still couldn't bear to spend money and thought about everything for her family.
Chenxiang wiped his eyes and looked at Yuanxiang with a look of grudge and said, "Sister. What are you saying? This is your marriage, and you still think about what we do. We will earn our dowry by ourselves. Don't worry about you. After you get married, don't think about your parents' home anymore, otherwise you will let your mother-in-law talk to Brother Baomin."
"In this way, if you really don't want to buy a dowry, then you can keep the money yourself and leave it for your own private money in the future. In short, this is the money you have earned over the years. You have already left most of it at home. You can't take the money at home." Chen Xiang said, and took out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into Yuanxiang's hand.
Yuanxiang touched Chenxiang's face, smiled and shook her head, and asked Chenxiang to put away the money first, saying, "No, Baomin and Aunt Duanhua are both reasonable people. They don't gossip. Besides, Baomin's family lives still, and it's not bad for the dowry at home. Our family just buys the things we should buy, and buy them in the same way as a normal marriage. Don't make it too big."
"As for my own private money, isn't I still working in the sauce factory? I can save it myself. If you don't want this money, just save it for my mother and let her save more. After two years, when Baoer grows up, our house will also be built again. So, it's better to build it. Baoer will marry a wife in the future. Look, as the third uncle's family now has a new house, will the eldest son's wife be chosen by him?"
Xia Feier couldn't help but sigh when she watched the two sisters push the money around. Perhaps in this era, daughters like Yuanxiang are good daughters. No matter whether their parents value her or not, she always cares about her family and even cares about delays. And those like herself and Zhier are selfish. No matter what, there is still a little thing in her heart that is kept for herself.
She lowered her head and smiled, and then asked Yuanxiang: "Why, the eldest brother of the third uncle's family has also been engaged. Why didn't the third uncle inform us?"
Yuanxiang asked Chenxiang to put away the silver first, and replied with a smile: "No, Dalang is choosing, but it has not been decided yet. Dalang still likes the girl he had the matchmaker in the village last time, but the third aunt refused and said that the family was jealous of money and did not agree to Dalang to go. The mother and son have been in a stalemate these days."
"Haha, I have to go back and see how good that girl is. Why do we make our Dalang think so much?" Xia Feier said with a smile.
"Well, go back more when you have time, and everyone at home is thinking about you, saying that it's much more lively when you are at home." Yuan Xiang also said with a smile.
Xia Feier and several girls hadn't met for a long time. They sat in the yard and chatted for a long time. Before they knew it, it was almost dark. Feier asked Sang Ju to cook dinner. Yuan Xiang and Chen Xiang were used to working at home and were not used to serving people here. They all said they would follow Sang Ju to the pot house to help. Xia Feier couldn't persuade him. Later, they just happened to run into Zhier and came back from the shop. The few of them talked to Zhier.
Seeing that Zhier was with them, Xia Feier went to Xia Fugui's room and told him about Xia Tiezhu.
After hearing this, Xia Fugui patted his head with great remorse and said, "Look, I'm so old and confused. Why is this child taught by our family so unkind? I'm really wrong about Tiezhu. I don't know if Tiezhu blames me after hearing what Xiaoyuan and the others said?"
Xia Feier curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Why are you blaming you? It's him who is sorry for us. I deserve it if I'm scolding."
When Xia Fugui heard this, he immediately became unhappy and frowned and looked at Xia Feier and said, "Your child, you don't know how to feel sorry for others if your father is talking about you. Tiezhu still thinks about you, but you don't know how to say good things? Your temperament is that Tiezhu can spoil you. If it were someone else, they might have run away long ago..."
Xia Feier knew that Xia Fugui was between her and Xia Tiezhu. He always felt that he was bullying Xia Tiezhu, so he would educate her every time he seized the opportunity. He talked too much, and he couldn't finish talking. She immediately rolled her eyes and blamed Xia Fugui and said, "Dad, you are really, why are you scolding Xia Tiezhu? Don't you know your own son?"
Xia Fugui didn't react at first. After he came to his senses, he knew that Xia Feier was deliberately blocking what he said just now. He knocked Xia Feier on the head with anger and laughed.
After laughing, Xia Fugui sighed: "Fei'er, if you hadn't had a relationship with Tiezhu, your father wouldn't want to marry you to the Lan family. You see, the Lan family will start to dislike our family before you get married. If you wait for you to get married, you might be able to treat you. The Lan family is in the capital, our family is here, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I don't know how you live, how can you let your father rest assured."
"Since you were a child, your parents thought that Tiezhu would always marry into a marriage in the future, and they never worried about what happened after you got married. Although I sometimes worry that Tiezhu's family would come to me, I thought it would be nothing big for me at most a illegitimate son. I really couldn't imagine that Tiezhu's origin was so big. What should I do if you enter the house in the future?"
Xia Feier was a little surprised. Since she and Xia Tiezhu were together, Xia Fugui has always supported them. Even though Xia Fugui later learned that the Lan family did not accept Xia Feier, Xia Fugui never said a word. He only said that Feier would learn something well and be a lady from a family, which meant to get closer to Xia Tiezhu. But Xia Fugui said this today. Xia Feier didn't know what he wanted to say, so she asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"
Xia Fugui hesitated for a while, but still expressed his thoughts: "If you can let go of your relationship with Tiezhu, it's better to find someone again. If we don't look for a good one, we will find an ordinary country family. If you want to marry into a marriage, you will get married. As long as it's not too far away, let your father and a few brothers watch you from time to time."
Xia Feier just guessed that Xia Fugui meant this, and she wasn't too surprised. She glanced at Xia Fugui and asked softly: "Dad, have you been saying that your mother's wish is to let me be with the fourth brother?"
Xia Fugui was silent for a while, took out the cigarette pot, lit a cigarette, sucked a few times, and said, "Tiezhu is not that girl's child, so this matter is no longer accurate. What's more, whether it's me or your mother, what we value most is whether your life will be easy in the future. If you know it's not easy, then any wish will be in vain."
"Actually, since my father learned that the Lan family disliked us, my father felt uncomfortable. My child is also a treasure in my heart, especially my daughter is so outstanding. If she really wants to get married, as long as the matchmaker makes a move, we can choose the boys nearby."
"We are not the ones who dislike the poor and the rich. We want you to be with Tiezhu, and we have never said that we should take advantage of the Lan family. I even thought that when you marry into the Lan family, the family will prepare a large dowry for you. Not too much, but at least it is not worse than the daughters of other wealthy families. Since we are nothing, why should we be disliked by the Lan family? And it's not all that time. In the future, this daughter will be troubled by the Lan family. Why?"
