Chapter 6 Dowry Money

"Enough! If you don't do anything seriously all day long, just stare at trivial matters, what do you think?" Gu Dehai glared at Gu Chengnan with dissatisfaction and scolded with a stern face.

Gu Chengnan was so nervous that his father was staring at him that he was both annoyed and angry at Wang.

Wang married into the Gu family for more than a year. His father-in-law always treated her in a kind manner. Today, he was scolded by his father-in-law in public and his face suddenly became ignited.

Wang hurriedly glanced at everyone, and finally turned his eyes to his mother-in-law Fang, hoping that Fang would help her.

Today's affairs are not for her own sake, she is speaking up for everyone.

Fang half-hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but never looked at Wang.

Wang Xiu'e turned her gaze away from Fang's body in disappointment and looked at Qin's side beside Wang's.

Qin lowered her head, put the soles of her shoes in her hands, and pulled the twine squeaking, her concentration seemed to have nothing to do with her today.

Wang sneered in her heart. Today she was willing to be the first bird to speak for everyone... In the end, no one spoke for her. It turns out that she thought she was a fool!

Wang's anger surged upwards, and he was so angry that he threw away the rules and etiquette, and stood up and said bluntly: "Dad said this well and it makes no sense! Isn't life a trivial matter such as food, rice, oil and salt? Who lives on family and country affairs all day long?"

Gu Dehai didn't expect Wang to contradict him.

Although the Gu family is not a wealthy family, the family tradition attaches great importance to respect the elderly and respect the elderly, and loves the young and helps the weak.

Therefore, the Gu family has the reputation of being friendly and respectful among the villagers in the countryside.

Now Wang is ruling against her elders, which is so shocking that everyone looks at her.

Seeing that everyone looked at her, Wang didn't realize that she was inappropriate in words, but instead felt a sense of pride.

Without waiting for Gu Dehai to reply, he continued, "I am not a petty person. I live together. We should understand each other, but we should also be self-aware. Don't we? Parents should be even more justified. Right?"

"Second sister-in-law, you..." Gu Chenglin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and stared at Wang Xiu'e.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Did I say it wrong?" Before Gu Chenglin finished speaking, Wang Xiu'e interrupted his words.

Gu Dehai was about to speak, but Gu Dechang first said, "Lin Ge'er sat down, Cheng Nan's family is right."

After saying that, Gu Dechang turned to look at Gu Huaidong and bowed, "Father, let's take the third bedroom out to pass the order."

Gu Defang stood up from the bench and blurted out: "No! Third, my father is alive, so you can't tell me about the separation."

"But..." Gu Dechang still wanted to speak.

Gu Huaidong took over the conversation, "Dechang sat down, no further mention of the matter of division. Defang's family will go to Xiu'e to get twelve taels of silver later.

Xiu'e will go back to her parents' home and send the money to her in-laws. Ten taels of silver were the bride price that Brother Nan married you when she was sick a year ago. Two taels of silver were borrowed by you when you went back to her parents' home and thanked her on my behalf."

After Wan's death, the housekeeper's affairs were handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law Qin.

Qin looked up at Gu Huaidong and said in embarrassment: "Dad, isn't that money used to pay back the second and third uncles and the others? There is also the seed money from the shopkeeper Liu in the town."

Gu Huaidong picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, saying, "Huaiqing, Huaiyang, I will tell them that I will give them a little while to wait and then return them. I will think of a way to send it to him next market day."

Gu Defang signaled to Qin, "Listen to my father, give the money to Xiu'e."

Qin put down the soles of her shoes in her hand, got up and went back to the room to get the silver.

Gu Chengnan glared at Wang Xiu'e and said coldly: "Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Huaidong scolded with a stern face: "Brother Nan, what a bastard are you talking about!"

After saying that, Gu Huaidong looked at Wang Xiu'e and said softly: "Xiu'e, we have never forgotten the bride price.

I had already discussed with Defang, Dehai, Dechang and others that the grandsons in the family would marry each other, and they would be treated equally, with ten taels of silver.

I wanted to wait until the family was more relaxed before making up for your bride price. Now that you have mentioned it, I will make up for it first. Go back in front of my in-laws, I hope you will make up for it.”

After Gu Huaidong finished speaking, he stood up and looked around everyone and said, "This is all about what happened today, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future.

Everyone should remember that harmony in the family will be prosperous! Friendship and respectful brothers are the way to prosper the family. Wan, Xiaoyu is weak, as a family member, should be more polite! After breaking up, let's go and do their own business."

Everyone stood up one after another and went to work as their grandfather had told him before.

Wang Xiu'e sat on the bench and stared at the silver in her hand blankly. She didn't know how things turned out like this.

She originally wanted to say that the third wife spent more money and Gu Huayu did nothing, so why did it become a bride price?

Seeing that Wang was sitting still, Fang said lightly: "Xiu'e, go change your clothes and send the money to your in-laws earlier."

Wang Xiu'e looked up at Fang, "Ah Mom..."

Fang sighed, "Go quickly."

Gu Chengjuan gave Wang Xiu'e a blank look, turned to Gu Huayu and said, "Xiaoyu, you haven't gotten so good yet, go back to the house to rest first. I'll help my mother pick up beans."

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, picking beans is a job, I can't be tired. I will go to help my second uncle with my second sister."

"How can you do it? You are weak, go back to the house to rest. We can do these things." Gu Chengjuan blurted out.

Fang came over with a dustpan and looked at Wang who was walking towards the wing room. "Xiaoyu doesn't have to take your second sister-in-law's words to heart, go and rest."

Gu Huayu smiled, "Thank you, my second uncle, I will pick up the sand from the beans with me, and I will work hard, so I won't be tired."

Tomorrow, Gu Huayu wanted to go to the market to go shopping, so she was reluctant to leave. The family was too poor and she had to make money.

Seeing Gu Huayu insisting on staying, Fang had to say, "Okay, the main hall is spacious, let's pick up beans here. Xiaoyu is waiting here, Cheng Juan comes over to help Ah Niang."

Gu Chengjuan followed Fang to move beans, while Gu Huayu was waiting in the main hall.

Gu Huayu sat down at the table, holding his head in his right hand, looking at the yard.

I was thinking about what to sell tomorrow? My family is so poor that everyone still protects her like this. Such a family deserves her careful care.

"Miss, why don't she go to the house to rest, what are you doing here?" Wang's sarcastic voice made Gu Huayu come to his senses.

Wang was wearing a blue floral top, a pair of navy blue pants, and his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin. Wang's facial features were delicate, and he could give people a jewellery feeling after a little washing and dressing up.
