Chapter 267 The richer the more stingy

Yu Changhe often drank some wine with Sun Wuye and Sun Daji at night recently, and the relationship between the two of them was getting better and better. After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we lend you some money for Fifth Grandpa?" , Let them build the house first?"

  Yu Xiaolian thought for a while, "That's fine."

   At least it’s not the real rainy season yet. After the real summer, heavy rains will be frequent, and the house will have to be built and built.

   "Father, you can ask my fifth grandfather what I mean. If he agrees, it's okay to build the house first during this period of time, but... is there any good housing in our village?"

  Yu Changhe thought for a while, and said, "There are plenty of open spaces, but the location is a bit off. Later, after discussing with your fifth grandfather, I will go to Qi Lizheng's house to ask."

  Yu Xiaolian nodded, "By the way, dad, what do you plan to plant on the land you bought later?"

  Yu Changhedao, "I plan to plant corn."

  Yu Xiaolian took out a small bag of sticky corn seeds and told Yu Changhe to plant some sticky corn for her. Fresh sticky corn is very delicious and is Yu Xiaolian's favorite.

   "Father, then tomorrow you will send some people to work in the field and some people to stay at home. If anyone is disobedient, you should reprimand them. Don't keep losing face."

  Yu Changhe responded, and asked again, "How are the grandchildren of your fifth grandpa's family doing? Which one is smarter?"

   "Manzhi is the smartest, and the others are about the same."

   "Then let Manzhi continue to study, and the others can come down to work after they have known Chinese characters for two years."

   After all, this bundle of repairs is not cheap. If it’s not the material for reading, don’t waste that money.

  Yu Xiaolian responded, "Let's see in a few years, some children may be late to enlighten."

  Yu Xiaolian went to the backyard to inspect the work, and then asked Sun Mancang to drive and took her back to Taotaoju.

  Zhao Erya is now able to take care of everything in Taotaoju.

  Sanya is in Xiangyang Lane, following Sun Shi, helping Sun Shi take care of the children.

   Another two months later, the four houses of Sun Wuye's family have also been built. Just a few days after Sun Wuye moved into his new home, it was the day when Sun Manyu got married.

On the first day of their marriage, the Li family sent someone to bring four boxes of dowry gifts. The first box contained fifty taels of silver, the second box contained four bolts of high-quality silk and satin, and the third box contained jewelry for Sun Manyu. , there is a golden hairpin, two pairs of silver bracelets and a pair of silver earrings, and the fourth box contains some four-color candies and wedding cakes.

  In addition to carrying the suitcases four times, the Li family also prepared good wine and tea, as well as two fish and two chickens.

  Sun Siye and Sun Dalin read it one by one and expressed their satisfaction.

   It's just that Mrs. Li is a little unhappy. It's auspicious that the betrothal gift for marriage should be double. Why is there only one gold hairpin?

   How stingy!

  After the person who gave the dowry left, according to the custom, the Sun family should distribute the wedding cakes, sugar and other things sent by the man to relatives and neighbors, and convey the good news of marriage to them.

  Those who receive wedding candies and cakes will also add makeup to Sun Manyu as appropriate.

  In the house, everyone in the Sun family began to add makeup to Sun Manyu. The sisters-in-law should have discussed in advance, and they all gave 200 Wen.

Several girls who were about the same age as Sun Manyu gave gifts they embroidered by themselves, some gave a pair of embroidered shoes made by themselves, some gave a beautiful embroidered handkerchief, and those who were not good at female celebrities gave Sun Manyu Pulled two feet of floret cloth.

  Although they all earn money in the workshop, all the money they earn is handed over to the public. It is already their best effort to be able to produce these things.

  Yu Xiaolian gave Sun Manyu a silver hairpin, and Sun gave Sun Manyu a pair of gold earrings.

  Sun Manyu accepted it with a smile.

After the banquet was over, everyone left. Sun Manyu and Li Shi complained, "I thought my Aunt Chunfang could give me something good. It's just a pair of gold earrings, which are old ones she wore. The richer you are, the better you are." Stingy."

Sun Manyu pushed the gold earrings forward, Li Shi took it, looked at it by the light of the oil lamp, and said bluffing, "Oh, it's not a big deal, she really wore it before, I saw her wear it before Well, it's her family's two little ones that are getting bigger, and they always pinch her ears, and she can't wear them anymore, so they took them off.

   It stands to reason that when you get married, her aunt should give you a new one, but this person...gives off the old one, really...why did he give it away! "

  Sun Manyu pointed at the silver hairpin that Yu Xiaolian gave her, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Then Yu Xiaolian is even pickier. The silver one is not as generous as her mother's. No matter how old the earrings are, they are gold ones."

   "No, really picky." Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law agreed, "In the past two months, you have not missed her slapping your beard, she..."

Sun Dalin on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Li's words loudly, "Okay, pick and choose, isn't this silver hairpin pretty? I'm getting more and more dissatisfied, you two, and you still miss others What's wrong with the Yu family, I'll give you all the money I earn, why are you two so big-faced?"

   Li Shi winked at Sun Manyu and asked her to silence, which meant: Stop talking, your father is angry.

  Sun Manyu pouted, and wrapped up all the makeup gifts he had received.

   Mrs. Li pondered in her heart for a long time before she said, "Man Yu, I discussed it with your father, you can't take all the betrothal gifts back..."

   "Ah, I know." Sun Manyu was not surprised, "Don't you just take half of it back?"

  Li's face became very unnatural, "What your father and I mean is that I will only bring you back ten taels, do you think it's okay?"

  Sun Manyu suspected that he heard it wrong, "What? Ten taels?"

   It's fine if you don't give her a dowry, but you want to deduct her dowry?

  She put up with keeping the dowry, but her parents still want to take the big head?

  If she only took ten taels of silver to enter Li's house, how could she hold her head up in Li's house in the future?

   Mrs. Li saw Sun Manyu's dissatisfaction, and immediately said, "Mother will bring you back those silks, satins and jewelry..."

   "That won't work either!" Sun Manyu yelled.

  Some time ago, Qi Dalian did not bring any dowry to marry Sun Fengshou, but she was often valued by the villagers. She didn't want to be as useless as Qi Dalian.

   "I want to take half of this betrothal gift, and I can only give you twenty-five taels."

Sun Man Yujiao shouted, "Mother, you can be content with it. When my second uncle's sister Man Hong got married, she only had six taels of dowry. My dowry is fifty taels. I leave you twenty-five taels, which is already a lot. "

   Mrs. Li looked at Sun Dalin.

Sun Dalin said in a low voice, "Your fourth brother hasn't married a wife yet, and your third brother doesn't have a separate house. I discussed it with your mother. I want Huaiwen from your second brother's family to go to the village school to read and read. We should keep more of your dowry, as the family has a lot of money to spend.

  Besides, the conditions of the Li family are good, and it is enough for you to keep ten taels of silver with you. "

  Sun Manyu became impatient, "My third brother doesn't have a house and my fourth brother doesn't get married. What does it matter to me? I don't care, don't give me half of the dowry. Tomorrow, don't expect me to obediently go with Li Wenyuan."
