Chapter 43 Grab dowry
Widow Xie became a little unhappy after counting the dowry. The situation of the Xie family was not good. To support Xie Zurong to study and study, the family was almost unable to make ends meet. When she thought of preparing Xie Yuxiang’s dowry, Widow Xie felt a headache. The brain is up.
Widow Xie has a talented son, which makes her always feel that she is higher than everyone else. This time Xie Yuxiang went to be a concubine, and she has been teased by many people. Fortunately, Li Zhi brought enough gifts today. , I also hired a matchmaker, who was even more beautiful than those in the village who married out and worked as the main house, so that she made a lot of face today.
Those dowry gifts are nothing to Li Zhi’s family anymore, but in the small mountain village, they already make people look rich enough.
In contrast, after receiving so many dowry gifts, I should have come out with almost equal dowry. Widow Xie looked sideways at home, and there was nothing of value. She didn’t want her daughter to be too shabby and embarrassed on the day of her marriage. , And didn’t want the Li family to look down upon Xie Yuxiang, and Xie’s widow was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Seeing that the wedding period is approaching, but there is no dowry that I can’t take out. Xie Guofu went around at home, and suddenly thought of Wang Xiushu. Wang Xiushu married to Xie’s home. Although the dowry he brought was not as good as the dowry given by Li’s family, it was very good. There are enough villages.
Widow Xie feels even more headache when she thinks of Wang Xiushu’s appearance recently. Today’s Wang Xiushu is too difficult to deal with. If she wants to seize the dowry from her, she still has to think carefully about how to do it.
“Wang Xiushu, are you at home?”
When Wang Xiushu heard someone calling her at the door, she stopped her work and went out, “Uncle Wang, why are you here in Xiejiacun?”
“Xiu Shu, your mother has been ill recently, and her mouth is always talking about you. Your elder brother is out, and your father is at home to take care of your mother. Today I happened to come to Xiejiacun, neighbors, I will stop by to bring you In other words, if you are okay, go home and have a look.” Uncle Wang hurried away after speaking.
After Uncle Wang left, Wang Xiushu wandered around the yard anxiously. After thinking for a while, Wang Xiushu decided to pack his things and return to her family’s home today.
Widow Xie heard the conversation between Wang Xiushu and Uncle Wang in the room, so she had a plan to take advantage of Wang Xiushu’s return to her family’s house and take out all her dowries for silver. When Xie Yuxiang got married, she would buy some new ones. .
As soon as Wang Xiushu returned to the room, he saw Widow Xie greeted him, “Xiushu, I just heard in the house that your mother is sick. Go back and have a look. I’m worried about family affairs, you move.”
Wang Xiushu looked at Widow Xie and didn’t know what other moths she was going to make, but she had to go back to her family now, and she had no time to deal with Widow Xie, so she packed up her things and set off for home immediately.
“Hey, who is this, Xiushu, why are you back? You won’t be driven back by others.” When Wang Xiushu just arrived at the entrance of the village, he met his aunt, secretly unlucky.
Wang Xiushu didn’t want to talk to him, but her auntie kept talking about it. “Auntie, you can’t expect me to be good. My mother-in-law made a new shoe sole. Let me give it to my mother. You can worry about the others.”
Wang Xiushu’s attitude made Wang Lius very unhappy, so he stopped by Wang Xiushu’s house to check it out.
As soon as Wang Xiushu arrived at the door of his house, he saw Wang Qiwang feeding chickens in the yard. He felt very cordial, and tears burst into his eyes for an instant.
“Father, I’m back.” Wang Xiushu stood at the door and started shouting.
Wang Qiwang paused when he was feeding the chickens, then turned around to see Wang Xiushu, and immediately put the things in his hands, “Xiushu, why are you back? What happened to your in-laws?”
When Wang Qiwang saw that it was Wang Xiushu coming back, he was afraid that it would be the same as the previous few times. Although it was the married daughter and the water poured out, but the Wang family was just such a daughter. She has been doting on her since she was a child, even if she was married. Still have to be spoiled.
“Father, I’m fine. Today, Uncle Wang went to Xiejiacun and met him. Uncle Wang said that his mother was sick. I will come back and have a look. The eldest brother is not there. You are at home and you have to take care of your mother. It’s too hard. Go ahead, I can do all these tasks.”
Wang Xiushu put aside his burden, and took the work that Wang Qiwang hadn’t finished just now.
“His second uncle, I just saw Xiu Shu come back, and he said that I want to discuss with her mother what the soles look like, I don’t believe it, just come over and see what’s wrong.” Wang Liushi stood beside Wang Qiwang with a face. Gossip-like.
Wang Qiwang looked at Wang Liu who wanted to coax her out immediately, but was afraid that she would start talking nonsense again after she went out, so he could only deal with it casually, “His second aunt is sick, Xiu Shu came back to take a look, and it happened that her mother-in-law also let her She just came back as if she was wearing shoe soles.”
As soon as Wang Liu heard that there was no gossip, he walked into the room again, “His second uncle and second aunt’s illness is still not healed, and the second sister-in-law is really squeamish. It takes so long to get sick. It’s still my family’s comparison. it is good.”
Wang Qiwang followed Wang Liu’s, and when he heard Wang Liu’s words, he just wanted to slap and fan him up.
Actually, Liu’s illness this time has a lot to do with Wang Liu’s family. It turned out that someone introduced Wang Xiuli a few days ago to a family relationship. Although the son of the village chief’s family in the neighboring village does not have much culture, the people are more diligent and have been built. The house is ready to be married, and the matchmaker has to bring a lot of things every time he comes, which makes the Wang Liu clan horrified.
Liu’s temperament is weaker, older, and more sentimental. When Wang Xiushu returned home several times before, she must have been bullied by her in-laws. Wang Liu’s family came to Wang Qiwang’s house and Liu said how lucky Wang Xiuli was. How pitiful Wang Xiushu was. Every time after Wang Liu clan left, Liu clan would secretly hurt himself and cried silently for a long time. After a long time, he would become depressed and sick.
“Auntie, my mother is more squeamish, there is no way, who will let my dad spoil my mother and let her do nothing? After a long time, I must be a little weak.” Wang Xiushu heard what Wang Liu said. If it weren’t for Wang Liu’s elders, Wang Xiushu would definitely not just use his mouth to talk about it.
Wang Xiushu ignored Wang Liu’s and turned to Wang Qiwang and said, “Father, let my mother do some work in the future. Mother still needs to exercise more. Of course, she doesn’t need to do so much work every day, so tired.
When Wang Liu heard what Wang Xiushu said, he gave Wang Xiushu a fierce look, and then kept mumbling that Wang Xiushu was not sensible.
Wang Qiwang was busy at work. Because Liu was asleep before he woke up, Wang Xiushu helped Wang Qiwang work. Everyone talked to Wang Liu, and Wang Liu gave Wang Xiushu’s family a complaint, and then left in a slanderous manner. .
