The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 652 Chunlan wants to get married

Since she opened a shop in the town, she usually goes back to the village every two days. When she went back yesterday, she heard what her mother said about it.

"Chunlan's marriage is settled? So soon?"

"It's settled."

"Which one did you order? How is the person?"

She wanted to introduce Hu Da or Hu Er before, but she didn't expect it to be decided.

Shen Lanfeng also knew what she meant. Hu Da and Hu Er are indeed very good, but they are already engaged, so they can't say anything.

"Dayang Village is settled." Speaking of this family, Shen Xialan actually didn't like it very much, but her mother insisted on agreeing, and she couldn't help it.

"Which one is in Dayang Village? How are the people?"

"Ugh!"

When she heard her sigh, Shen Kapok felt a little bad.

"what happened?"

"I'm not very clear about the family I'm talking about, but it's Yang, anyway..."

"What is it? People don't look good?"

"It's not that he looks bad, but that his mother is very powerful, and she speaks like a knife. With my sister's character, she will not be bullied to death in the future..."

Moreover, she felt that the old woman was very calculating. When she heard that she opened a shop outside, she rolled her eyes and asked if there was a big sister in this shop.

At that time, she felt that the woman probably had ideas, so she deliberately said that she was the eldest sister.

As a result, the woman immediately said, "Oh, you must be very tired as a girl running a shop, right?"

Before she could answer anything, she said, "When your sister and your brother-in-law get married and ask your brother-in-law to help you in the shop, you will be a shopkeeper and leave everything to your brother-in-law."

Hehe, listen to this, if you haven't married yet, it's her shop.

If she were to be the hands-off shopkeeper, the shop might not earn ten taels of silver for a year.

So she was unhappy at the time, and said, "I haven't divided my sister's share yet. Even if I divided it, it would still be my sister's dowry. Have you ever seen whose dowry is managed by the husband's family? It's outrageous! "

What she said was very embarrassing, and the Yang family's mother-in-law pulled her face down at that time.

After the Yang family left, she told her mother not to agree to this marriage. Unfortunately, her mother thought that the bride price was too much.

"How much dowry did you give?" When Shen Mumian heard that Xiao Zhou had given a lot of dowry, she felt almost the same as Shen Xialan.

"They said they would give 20 taels."

"So much?" Shen Mumian was a little suspicious, "Is there anything wrong with this person?"

Otherwise, I heard Xia Lan say that this mother-in-law is so calculating, how could she offer so many betrothal gifts at once?

In the vicinity of Huining Town, the general dowry is as little as one or two taels, some are several hundred Wen, and the most are only seven or eight taels.When getting married, the woman from a well-off family will add a few taels to the betrothal gift to make up the girl's dowry, usually in the form of twelve or three taels, and sometimes a little more.

But it’s 20 taels at once, I’ve never heard of it.

Of course, there are also big households who can offer 20 taels, but when the children of the big households are hired, 20 taels cannot be offered.

"I asked my mother to inquire about it. I don't know if I have inquired about it."

"You asked your mother to inquire about it?" Shen Mumian said disapprovingly, "You don't know what she's thinking? I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the other party, and she can hide it for the dowry. You should tell me about it earlier , I’ll ask someone to inquire about it.”

"Oh." Shen Xialan sighed, "I didn't expect that she would decide so soon. When I said it last time, I didn't say that I would decide on this one. I thought she would decide on Maohu's."
