Chapter 323 Asking for Dowry (4)
Seeing the attitude of the two sisters, Zhou was already full of anger. She wanted to get angry, but she also knew that the people in the second room were already out of her control, and the purpose of their visit today was It hasn't been achieved yet, and it's not easy to tear your face.

However, if she were to be like Liu Shi, showing her old face and humiliating, Zhou Shi would not be able to do that, so she could only give her eldest daughter-in-law a wink, let She went out to get it done, and she sat there with a stinky face and said nothing!
And Mrs. Liu was also hesitant, unable to decide whether to stay here and continue talking about what happened just now. Although she really wanted to scrape more money from Erfang, Mrs. Liu also knew that Lin Xiaoqiao It's not easy to mess with.

Before they came here, they never thought of such a scene at all. Mrs. Liu did not count that Lin Erniu was not at home, nor did she count. Now Mrs. Li dares to be so arrogant in front of her mother-in-law, without even losing face willing to give.

Liu secretly hated herself for making a mistake and not calculating the timing correctly. If Lin Erniu was at home today, it would definitely not be this scene.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu thought about it for a while, and decided that next time, when Lin Erniu is at home, let's do it again, let's just let it go today, although she herself is extremely unwilling for such a result, but, Mrs. Liu is still a little self-aware, knowing that the two of them cannot handle the two sisters, and if they stay, they will only gain a little advantage.

However, when she just wanted to pull Mrs. Zhou away, Mrs. Zhou refused. She didn't have Mrs. Liu's aura in her mind, so how could Mrs. Liu think so much, so she didn't know how to weigh it The pros and cons are gone.

In Zhou's mind, there is only one thing, that is, since he has already come to the door, he must get some bargains, or he will come for nothing.

What's more, the eldest daughter-in-law who came here to ask for a dowry for Lin Jiao was originally the one who lured her here for profit, but Mrs. Liu said that no matter how much money she could get in the second room, she would get half of it. How could Mrs. Zhou refuse such a temptation?

Moreover, Mrs. Zhou also had her own calculations. She felt that if she followed her eldest daughter-in-law and came to help Lin Jiao get a dowry today, then Lin Jiao would definitely pay her a favor when she married someone. At the same time, she also He could be more confident and ask Lin Jiao to be more filial to her. After all, the husband's family that Lin Jiao married had really good conditions.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhou is a selfish and not very clear-headed person this time, otherwise how could he have listened to Mrs. Liu's casual provocations back then, and could have done something like killing Li's unborn baby with medicine!
There was eye contact between the two of Zhou and Liu Ershi, and there were small gestures of whispering in private. Lin Xiaoqiao had actually caught it all in his eyes, but she still didn't intend to speak.

Lin Xiaoqiao has already vaguely guessed the reason why Mrs. Zhou accompanied Mrs. Liu here today. The two must have reached some kind of nasty agreement in private. Otherwise, according to Mrs. Zhou's temperament, she would not be able to Knowing that it might be deflated, but still came to the door.

Alas - the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really don't have a tacit understanding. At this time, they can still disagree. Lin Xiaoqiao really thinks it's ridiculous. She is almost impatient and continues to sit here.

However, Mrs. Liu didn't make her wait any longer, so she put on a miserable face, and said pitifully, "Oh—two nieces, you are kind-hearted children, I can't help it, I just came here to beg you. Your cousin is going to get married soon, and her husband’s family is in a good condition. If her dowry is too poor, she will definitely be looked down upon by her husband’s family. You two are so serious Shan, I definitely don't want my cousin to be unhappy! Besides, you are all daughters of the Lin family. If your cousin marries well, you will be honored, right? I am not honored either. For the sake of our Jiaoer, but also for the two of you sisters, after all, you are going to marry in the future! As a cousin, she can't support the face of the daughter of the Lin family, and it will not be good for you to talk about getting married in the future. ah!"

Mrs. Liu seemed to be saying everything with reason. After Lin Xiaoqiao heard it, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh, but she asked with great interest, "Then how much do you want?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu replied with a smile: "I don't want too much, as long as 500 taels of silver is enough, buy her a few acres of land, and buy some jewelry, it's almost the same!"

"You are dreaming! How dare you say anything? 500 taels of silver? You really dare to ask for it!" Lin Xiaoqiao didn't speak, but her sister Lin Xiaoxi spat at Liu Shi and said.

"Isn't it just 500 taels of silver? It's not like you can't afford it. You learned it at a young age. You are so stingy and ungrateful! You have money to buy and others to order, so why can't you give some money to your cousin? I've bought a dowry!" Mrs. Zhou said after hearing Lin Xiaoxi's words.

"Grandma, you are not careful, you gave us some money! We have grown up so much, and we have never received red envelopes from grandparents! Could it be that grandparents are really poor, even a penny Is it that you can’t even afford the red envelopes of money? If that’s the case, where did my parents give you two elders alimony every year?” Lin Xiaoxi replied with some contempt.

"That's right! How do you say that my parents give you two elders money every year? Let's say a little more, there are always more than ten taels. Then how much money did grandparents take out to buy our cousin's dowry?" Lin Xiaoqiao deliberately emphasized the words "speak less" and "a dozen or two", and said.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaoqiao saw calculation and anger flashing in Liu's eyes.

After Mrs. Zhou heard the sneering words of the two sisters, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, so she could only use her elbow to push Mrs. Liu, signaling her to hurry up and get it done.

Although Mrs. Liu still felt resentful towards Mrs. Zhou, a dead old woman, for hiding her private house from them, but now she has a clear head and knows that this is not the time to care about these things.

So, he temporarily put away the calculations and resentments in his heart, and said to the two sisters Lin Xiaoqiao: "Actually, it's not that I want more, you do the math yourself, one mu of land costs more than ten taels, your cousin Marrying into such a good family, it is always necessary to buy her a land of twenty or thirty acres, so it can be justified. And the jewelry, a set always costs tens of taels of silver, to say the least, it always costs two taels Let’s wear it in turn! Calculated in this way, there is nothing left for 500 taels of silver, maybe it’s not enough!”

After hearing these words, Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters both pursed their lips and didn't make a sound, and they couldn't see any expressions, so Liu could only continue to say: "If our eldest family had money, we wouldn't come to see you. I want money! Or is it a loan, okay? Your cousin is married well, and she will definitely have money to pay back in the future. You first borrow 500 taels of silver and let her buy a good dowry! Everyone is always the same My family is not, although I have done things that I am sorry to you before, but my Jiaoer did not do anything wrong, and I have really regretted it now! Don't worry about the past, okay? What's more, if she has a good marriage, you can find a better marriage in the future, right? Otherwise, if someone sounds like you, and knows that your cousin with the same surname was so poor when you married, maybe you two will also marry each other. You will be underestimated, after all, there is one thing that can never be changed in the eyes of outsiders, that is, you are all girls from the Lin family!"
