Ning Pengpeng's eyes were sparkling, and the corners of her mouth were almost split to the base of her ears.
However, when she opened the congratulatory gift from Shopkeeper Su, she almost went blind with her triangular eyes.
In a small wooden box with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums engraved on the outside, there are twelve silver ingots, a total of ten ingots neatly placed.
In the other two wooden boxes that are also carved with patterns, inside the larger one is a pair of gold-headed masks.
Inside the small box is a pair of thick gold bracelets.
This gold and silver almost blinded her eyes. How much does it cost?
In addition, there were several pieces of silk fabric that Ning Pengpeng didn't dare to touch.
It was true that the palms of her body were too rough, and she was afraid that if she touched it, she would have to touch the silk.
In fact, in Pei Yan's opinion, this gift was impossible to obtain.
After all, among the people he knows, gold and silver are the most common things?
The gifts are also valuable items such as ancient jades, paintings and calligraphy by famous artists.
Therefore, when Pei Yan learned about the relocation of the Ning family, he casually asked Shopkeeper Su to deliver gifts on his behalf.
Shopkeeper Su, on the other hand, knows the actual situation of the Ning family.
It's simply not practical to give away ancient jades, calligraphy and paintings by famous people like the Ning family.
It would be better to give these gold and silver cloths.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know shopkeeper Su's inner thoughts. If she knew, she would definitely give him a big thumbs up. She is an old lady who loves gold and silver and other common things.
Because Ning Pengpeng and Shopkeeper Su had something to discuss, the rest of the Ning family was not in the room.
Ning Pengpeng had to dig a hole under the bed because he wanted to hide the sugar.
Now, she stuffed the box containing the gold noodle and gold bracelet into the hole under the bed.
Only a box of silver and silk satins were left on the table.
When Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu knocked on the door and walked in, their eyes widened when they saw the satin fabric placed on the table!
Although silver is also attractive, for these young women, this fabric is definitely more joyful.
"Although these silks and satins are good, they are not practical.
Even our hands dare not touch this fabric.
Therefore, I plan to ask the boss to find a way to sell these silks and exchange them for some fine cloth.
In this way, everyone in the family can have a new set of clothes to wear."
Although Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu were very reluctant to bear their mother-in-law's decision, they also knew that what their mother-in-law said was true.
Unlike those rich ladies, they country folk don't have to work.
If I were to wear clothes made of silk, I would probably have to walk and work like a zombie!
In that case, shouldn’t people be exhausted to death?
Fine cloth is better, it is not as uncomfortable to wear as linen, it is durable and cheap.
Even if you are working and put a linen garment on top of the fine cloth, you will not be afraid that the linen garment will scratch the fine cloth.
"This silver is a gift from others.
I’ll give you ten taels for your family, and the rest belongs to me.”
Ning Pengpeng took out two ingots of silver and placed them in front of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang.
As for the second and fourth children, the second one still owed her money to buy furniture, so naturally he wouldn't pay her.
The fourth child has not yet gotten married, so naturally the money will be left with her.
She will hold on to the rest of Lao Wu first. If this girl can get rid of her bad habits after moving to the new house, these will naturally be her dowry.
If you can't change it, then go ahead and eat it!
Although Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang looked at the eight ingots of silver left in the box with jealousy, they also knew that the mother-in-law was being polite by saying one ingot for each family.
After all, they didn't know Shopkeeper Su. Shopkeeper Su only gave gifts for the sake of her mother-in-law.
Sure enough, when my man saw these ten taels of silver, he was so excited that he almost covered his face and cried.
As expected, my mother still has them in her heart.
After organizing the running ceremony, Ning Pengpeng chose a time to move into the new house.
Standing in this antique courtyard, Ning Pengpeng took a deep breath. This was the first step in her long march of thousands of miles.
After watching my mother and brothers move into the new house, the old house suddenly felt empty.
Boss Ning didn't feel much about it before, but now he feels a deep sense of loss filling his heart.
"Ms. sir, why don't we build a new house next to my mother's house?"
Madam Liu was Ning's bedfellow, so she understood him very well when she saw his appearance. After all, when she saw Mr. Wang happily moving into the new house, her heart was filled with jealousy and torment.
She thought that since she returned to the village, her mother-in-law had given her a total of thirteen taels of silver, plus the money she had received from the previous separation and the money she had saved over the years.
If you really want to build a house in the village, it's not impossible.
Unexpectedly, Ning Youfu shook his head after thinking about it again and again.
"The second and third brothers know how to farm. The fourth and fifth brothers now have their mothers to take care of them. But I have long been accustomed to working in the town. It is simply impossible for me to work in the fields.
We only have this little money and no other sources of income.
If you spend it all to build a new house, how will you live in the future?"
Hearing what Ning Youfu said, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look sad.
After moving to a new house, Ning Youxi not only had her own independent room, but also a small yard and a small kitchen.
After touching these, Ning Youxi was not happy for two days before her mother told her that she no longer needed to pick up the beans, but she would have to cook her own meals from now on.
"But I can't!"
Ning Youxi was dumbfounded and muttered to Ning Pengpeng.
"Who is born knowing everything? Didn't they just learn it? I allow you to go out of the yard to the big kitchen and watch how your third sister-in-law cooks while she is cooking.
I will also ask your third sister-in-law to deliver the ingredients to your small kitchen every day. Anyway, whether they are delicious or not is up to you to eat.
So, you decide whether you should study hard or not!
Moreover, I have to tell you something: when the food is above the passing mark, when can you leave this yard."
Ning Pengpeng said to Ning Youxi directly without mercy.
Humph, did she think that hitting her before was the most severe punishment?
Wrong, eating homemade pig food every day is long-term torture.
If Ning Youxi has no ambition, then she will continue to eat pig food until she gets married!
Anyway, when the time comes, she, a cheap girl, will have completed her mission by marrying him off.
Ning Youxi immediately looked at her four brothers anxiously, but the four brothers of the Ning family, Ning Pengpeng, would not have resisted their mother for Ning Youxi's sake.
What's more, my mother is now more powerful than before, so she will naturally not resist Ning Pengpeng for the sake of my little sister!
Therefore, in front of everyone, Mrs. Wang put the seasonings needed in the kitchen and the rice and noodles for the day into Ning Youxi's small kitchen.
Ning Pengpeng directly locked Ning Youxi's courtyard in front of everyone.
Without her consent, no one can let Ning Youxi come out.
