Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "I just explained my family's financial situation clearly, how much money we spent to buy the house, how much money we spent to buy the shop, how much the shop's annual rent is, how much cash we have at home, how much money we have to prepare for the betrothal gift, and explained why we took 200 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. I didn't say much else, and I didn't say anything to him alone."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
Haha, this is more frightening than talking to him alone. No wonder he was stimulated. Zhou Shuren's knife was so fierce that Chang Lian didn't have to be so proud this time. Two hundred taels of betrothal money is nothing compared to the family fortune. Zhou Shuren is very good at cutting off the source of the trouble. Not only will the eldest and second brother have no grudges, but Chang Lian also realizes that this family can do with or without you!
Zhou Shuren looked at Zhulan's speechless expression and felt itchy inside, but it was a pity that it was not night time because there were too many eyesores.
The eldest and second eldest Zhou were also quite shocked. When they finally came out of the main hall, they saw their father and mother talking. The two brothers looked at each other and thought, Dad is always Dad. This was a cruel trick. They felt inexplicably sympathetic towards Chang Lian. Chang Lian was beaten to death before he could show off. How pitiful.
Zhou Lao Da tried hard to adjust his mentality, but his mind was still in a cycle. His family was really rich. When he saw his father looking at him, he felt a chill on his back. His father could even figure out the county magistrate. He should just be a stupid son. It would be safer. He smiled ingratiatingly, "Dad."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "Didn't you see your mother?"
Boss Zhou: "... Mother."
It’s not that he didn’t see his mother, but he was so afraid of his father that he called him dad out of reflex.
Zhulan tugged at Zhou Shuren's sleeve, asking him to stop scaring the boss. She felt sorry for the boss and said, "Boss, harness the car and take me and your father to the county."
Zhou Laoda glanced at his father's relaxed face and silently warned himself that in the future, when his father and mother were together, he must call mother first. The only one who could control his father was mother. "I'll go now."
Zhou Laoer looked at his eldest brother and thanked his mother again for not giving birth to him as the eldest!
When they arrived at the county, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to buy gifts for the visit first, and then Zhulan went to invite the official matchmaker alone. Zhulan didn't even need to ask whether the official matchmaker was at home. According to the Dong family's behavior, since they had their eyes on Chang Lian and had verbally agreed with Zhou Shuren, they must have greeted the official matchmaker. Zhulan was even more certain when she was welcomed into the house.
Look at the official media’s enthusiastic attitude, not even looking at the gifts. The Dong family must have given other benefits to the official media.
Zhulan said: "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. We will wait for your good news at home."
The official media knew it would work, and both sides would benefit, so they smiled broadly, "Don't worry, I will make sure it goes well."
Zhulan left the gifts and rewards and then left the official media's house.
Zhulan got on the ox cart and said to Lao Dadao, "Let's go to the tea shop to find your father."
Boss Zhou, "Hey!"
When they arrived at the tea shop, Zhou Shuren had already bought tea. Tea is very important in the betrothal gift. For the tea gift, the tea must be well prepared. Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come out and asked, "Do you have any good tea in the shop?"
Zhou Shuren, "Our county is a transportation hub, and the tea in the tea shop is pretty good."
Zhulan asked in a low voice, "How much money did it cost?"
Zhou Shuren said painfully, "Twenty taels and a half catty, I bought six taels and six teas."
Zhulan covered her chest, it was expensive. Zhulan paused for a moment and said, "Let's go buy some fabric."
At least six rolls of cloth and a set of jewelry are needed, all of which require silver.
Zhulan and her husband spent more than eighty taels of silver on the betrothal gifts. Together with the money paid to the matchmaker, Changlian's betrothal gifts totaled nearly three hundred taels.
When she returned to the village, Zhulan didn't want the villagers to see what she had bought, so she took a lot of straw mats with her when she left, and covered them with them when she came back. When she entered the village, she met many people, but they just thought that Zhulan went to the county to buy food.
When they got home and closed the door, without Zhulan saying anything, Zhou Lao Da saw his father's look and called Li to move the things.
When Li came out, she saw the cloth on the car and realized that it was the betrothal gift prepared for Chang Lian. She felt unhappy. When she got married, the betrothal gift was five taels of silver, a piece of cloth, one tael of tea, and some grains. Look at Chang Lian's, it looks like the tea bag is more than one tael.
As soon as the eldest brother Zhou saw Li's appearance, he knew what Li was thinking and glared at the second brother. He left in a hurry and didn't tell Li about the family background. He didn't believe that the second brother didn't tell Zhao. It was obvious from Li's appearance that she didn't know the family background.
Zhou Laoer still felt wronged. He couldn't talk to his sister-in-law. He asked his wife to talk to her, but when he and his wife finished talking, his sister-in-law went out. She didn't give the couple a chance to talk!
Boss Zhou pulled Li and lowered his voice, "I'll talk to you when I get back to the house. Hurry and move your things."
When Li saw the warning from the head of the household, she endured the discomfort and moved things efficiently.
Zhulan pretended not to see it. Anyway, Li would be happy soon. She didn't want to see Li at the moment, so she went back to the room without thinking about it.
Zhou Shuren followed in and drank a cup of tea. "I'm going to the clan leader's house. Let him know about this in advance. It also shows that we respect him."
Zhulan waved her hand, "I won't go with you."
Zhou Shuren touched Zhulan's forehead and luckily she didn't have a fever. "Then you should rest first."
Zhulan was indeed a little tired, "Yeah."
Zhou Shuren closed the door and came out, and saw Li smiling foolishly. She was not afraid even if she saw him. Li smiled foolishly and said, "Dad, get out!"
Zhou Shuren: “… … ..Yeah.”
Seeing her father-in-law’s cold face, Li was so happy that she turned into sorrow. She closed her mouth and bit her tongue, frowning but not daring to say a word. She twisted the head of the household’s hand in pain!
Boss Zhou, "... ... ... "
Who did he offend!
