The day before the Chinese Valentine's Day, Lu Yunran and Zhang Jiaxu returned home.
Because I was married far away, I came back a few days late, but this did not affect the family reunion.
Mother-in-law Chen asked Wang Xiu to ask Lu Yunran whether Zhang Jiaxu was good to her and whether he was restrained in sexual intercourse.
Wang Xiu: "..."
Why does it feel so weird to share this with your sister-in-law?
However, she didn't ask explicitly, she just made insinuations and asked about her situation in the Zhang family.
Lu Yunran said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very good to me, and they also praise me. His eldest brother is in the capital, and his second brother is in office. Only the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are back, but they will also go back after we get married. They are all very polite people."
"The people in the clan respect my parents-in-law, and they are also very polite to us. My mother-in-law is in charge of the middle child in the family. She gave me some private rooms and told me that managing the middle child is very tiring. I understand."
The general meaning is that Zhongzhi will belong to the eldest family in the future. Although the eldest family is in the capital, she cannot take care of it.
However, it is very good to subsidize private housing.
Wang Xiu also understood that in a family of three brothers, there were no rules and regulations, so he nodded in agreement.
She said to Lu Yunran: "That's good. But if you don't have enough private money to spend, just tell me and I will get it for you."
Lu Yunran blushed, and there was a trace of mist in her eyes. She said quickly: "My sister-in-law prepared so much money for me. I didn't know about it until I got to Zhang's house, but it scared me. I discussed it with Jianxu.
It's all my sister-in-law's dowry, we can't ask for it."
"This time when we came back, I brought back all the 30,000 taels of banknotes. I have to give them back to my sister-in-law."
"Thirty thousand taels?"
"I put 20,000 taels!" Wang Xiu said with a surprised look on his face.
Lu Yunran quickly took out the banknote and said: "One thousand taels per denomination is indeed thirty thousand taels. We can't count it wrong."
Wang Xiu held her hand and said, "That's what your elder brother gave you in private. You can keep it. This is our intention."
Lu Yunran shook his head and whispered: "Jianxu did some business outside before. He gave me all the banknotes, and what my mother-in-law gave me, which added up to more than 10,000 taels, which is enough for us and my wife to live on.
"
"Sister-in-law keeps these banknotes and gives them to my nieces and nephews in the future. I can't have them."
"Take it, this is your dowry!"
"No, we can't have it!"
While the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were giving in to each other, Lu Yunhong came and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yunran took out the banknotes and placed them on the table in a thick stack, which looked very attractive.
He smiled: "The banknote will be hot, right?"
Lu Yunran whispered: "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, but the dowry you have prepared for Yun Ran is already very generous. Yun Ran really can't take the banknotes at the bottom of the box!"
Lu Yunhong was holding the banknote, and Wang Xiu tried to grab it, but he dodged it.
Wang Xiu said angrily: "Lu Yunhong, that belongs to Yun Ran, you are not allowed to take it."
Seeing the way she was protecting her sister, Lu Yunhong thought that this was not her sister-in-law, but her biological sister.
He smiled and said: "Ten thousand taels of silver notes are indeed a lot, so it's normal for Yun Ran not to dare to ask for them. Well, Yun Ran, the ten thousand taels were given by my elder brother, so you can keep it."
After that, he said to Wang Xiudao: "They are newlyweds. How do you know how much money they will spend on future expenses? I will give you these 20,000 taels as shares. If you make money, you can share some of their living expenses with them. If you can't make money, they can't lose it."
How about I ask you for it?"
Wang Xiu glared at Lu Yunhong: "Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!" She knows how to make money, not lose money!!
Lu Yunhong slapped his mouth with the banknote: "Bah, bah, bah."
Wang Xiu: "..."
Lu Yunran: "..."
If this was seen by outsiders, I wonder if someone would be beaten?
Wang Xiu thought that the business with Ji's family was booming, so he took the banknote and said, "Okay, but you need to write a written receipt."
When Lu Yunran saw that his sister-in-law had accepted the twenty thousand taels of silver, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Write it, I'll write it right away."
Wang Xiu shook his head and said: "I don't want you to write it, just press your fingerprints and ask your elder brother to write it."
Lu Yunhong said: "That's all you can do as a husband, right?"
Wang Xiudao: "Do it as you are told, and I'll beat you up if you talk nonsense!"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
Lu Yunran had a hard time holding back her laughter!
Soon, the documents were written.
Wang Xiu took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and asked Lu Yunran to press his fingerprints, making two copies for each of them to keep.
Wang Xiudao: "From now on, I will give you a bill every year when dividends are distributed, and you can make a pair yourself."
Lu Yunran said quickly: "No need, I trust my sister-in-law."
She actually didn't care much about making money or dividends. She just wanted to return the hot 20,000 taels of silver notes so that she could breathe a sigh of relief.
But I still have ten thousand taels in hand, which was given to me by my eldest brother.
Lu Yunran didn't know what to say for a moment. Ever since the fall of the Lu family, she had never thought that she could get married in such a glorious way. Her sister-in-law had saved so much dowry for her. The servants of the Zhang family said privately that the eldest grandmother and
The sum of all the dowry given by the second mistress was less than half of hers.
The servants are used to looking at her facial expressions. Knowing that she rewards her generously and is proud in front of her mother-in-law, she will be able to run errands quickly.
The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law also wanted to intercede for their nephew and hoped that he could study in Fengqi Academy. They also asked her father and eldest brother to give advice on articles and so on.
Only then did she gradually understand that the strength of her mother's family was her confidence in her husband's family.
No wonder the eldest sister-in-law looked arrogant when she married into their family. Thinking back to that time, the eldest daughter of the Wang family did marry into a low age. Fortunately, the eldest brother and sister-in-law finally fell in love, otherwise the Lu family today would not be the same.
There is such dignity.
Before Lu Yunran left, he gratefully thanked Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu felt sorry for her and told her to go back to bed and not think too much.
Lu Yunhong said: "Brothers and sisters, why do we need to see each other? A family should support each other. Is it possible that seeing you living in poverty will make the eldest brother eat meat on the kang?"
"Pfft." Wang Xiu laughed, then bit her lip and endured it again and again.
Lu Yunran couldn't help but laugh, and soon left with peace of mind. Before leaving, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was moved or suppressing laughter.
After Lu Yunran left, Lu Yunhong said to Wang Xiu: "Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in too hard."
Wang Xiu jumped on Lu Yunhong's back, hugged his neck and teased: "Lu Yunhong, you are really a talent!"
Lu Yunhong hugged her legs, raised his chin proudly, and pretended to be displeased: "Did I say something wrong?"
Wang Xiu shook his head and said quickly: "No, I just didn't expect that you would say it so straightforwardly!"
Lu Yunhong said: "Yunran has a delicate mind and is prone to overthinking. If I don't speak plainly, she will still be uneasy when she goes back."
Wang Xiu thought about it, then kissed Lu Yunhong on the cheek and said, "My husband is awesome!"
Lu Yunhong looked proud, curled up his lips and said, "Of course!"
