Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 173 173. Dowry Silver
"Old woman, hurry up and take out the money. I'll ask my eldest brother to find Huagu to talk about it. Don't take your mother-in-law's money and apologize to Qingzhu's daughter-in-law. From now on, our family will live in harmony. Strong." Chen Erniu recalled what his elder brother said on the road, and ordered.

Chen Wangshi hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

"Hurry up, I still have plenty of work in the field!" Chen Erniu urged.

"What money? I didn't take it." Chen Wang denied it.

"Grandpa, grandma took the money into the kang cabinet, 100 taels." At this time, Chen Xiaoyu came out of the room and said.

"Chen Xiaoyu, you little..." Chen Wang opened his mouth and wanted to curse.

Chen Xiaoyu glared at Chen Wangshi, her eyes were full of coldness.

Chen Wang was taken aback, and couldn't curse the rest of the words.

"Hurry up and take out the silver!" Chen Erniu glared at Chen Wangshi.

Chen Wang shook his head violently.

Her 100 taels of silver was given to her by Hua Gu voluntarily. She had agreed to Hua Gu's taking Jin Shi away, but Hua Gu gave up on taking Jin Shi away. The 100 taels of silver belonged to her, so why refund?

Chen Erniu gave Chen Wang a cold look, and strode into the room.

Chen Wangshi curled her lips and stood there unmoved.

There is a big lock hanging on the kang cabinet where the silver is placed!There is only one key, and Mrs. Chen never leaves her body day and night, and hangs it around her neck with a rope.

Without the key, Chen Erniu couldn't open the lock, so he couldn't get the silver inside.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Erniu came out and shouted at Chen Wang: "Where's the key? Here."

"No, I accidentally dropped the key." Chen Wangshi took a few big steps back, clutching her chest.

Chen Erniu didn't ask Chen Wang for the key again, he just gave Chen Wang a look, turned around and walked to the woodshed in the backyard.

Not long after, Chen Erniu returned to the front yard with an axe, and entered the house without even looking at Mrs. Chen.

"No, you can't smash it, it's my dowry!" Chen Wang came to her senses and quickly chased after her.

Chen Erniu moved very quickly. When Chen Wang chased into the room, Chen Erniu had already lifted the ax and "bang dang" and "bang dang" twice, breaking the lock open.

"I can't take it. It's my silver, mine." After recovering from her senses, Mrs. Chen rushed over and pressed the door of the kang cabinet.

In the cabinet is not only the 100 taels of silver given by Hua Gu, but also Chen Wang's own more than 100 taels of private house silver!

Chen Wang felt a little regretful. If she had known that Chen Erniu was so determined, she might as well have been more conscious just now and handed over the 100 taels of silver that Hua Gu gave her.

"Go away!" Chen Erniu was angry, and with a wave of his hand, Chen Wangshi was thrown aside.

"Ouch~!" Mrs. Chen staggered and fell out.

The half of his face that had been injured happened to hit the edge of the bed, the old injury was added to the new one, and Chen Wang grinned in pain.

Chen Erniu opened the door of the kang cabinet, and saw two heavy cloth bags inside. Chen Erniu didn't know which one was, so he simply took them out together.

Chen Erniu put the two bundles in his hand on the table and opened them.

Chen Erniu was startled by the amount of money in the baggage.Inside a blue bundle are ten ten taels of silver ingots.Inside the other blue-and-white-flowered bundle were nineteen five taels of silver ingots, and a few pieces of silver pancakes ranging from two to three taels.

The total amount of silver in the two bags should be a little more than 200 taels.

Enduring the pain, Chen Wang hurriedly chased him out.

Seeing that the two bundles had been opened, Mrs. Chen rushed to the side of the blue-and-white-flowered bundle, and hurriedly tried to tie the bundle back again.

"What are you doing?" Chen Erniu came back to his senses and asked.

"Old man, the money in that bag was brought by Hua Gu, you give it to elder brother. The money in this bag belongs to me, you can't touch it." Chen Wang explained.

"Where did you get so much money? When you were asked to buy food with money last time, didn't you say you had no money?" Chen Erniu asked suspiciously.

"I... this is my dowry. That's right, it's the dowry that my mother gave me some time ago." Chen Wang thought about it, and had to use her natal family as an example.

"Hahaha..." Chen Xiaoyu laughed out loud.

Chen Xiaoyu thought that Chen Wang would admit that she hid private money, but she didn't expect Chen Wang to come up with such a reason.

What a joke!

The Wang family is an ordinary peasant family, who may not even have ten taels of silver in deposit, so they will give a dowry of more than 100 taels of silver to Chen Wang's daughter who has been married for decades?Dreaming?

"Xiaoyu, don't be rude." Jin Cuicui tried to restrain the smile on her face and said.

"Wang Osmanthus, do you think I'm a fool? The Wang family will pay you back the dowry. You might as well say that you picked up the silver that fell from the sky. I can be more convinced." Chen Erniu didn't believe it either.

"Anyway, this is my money, my own money, it has nothing to do with you, or anyone else." Chen Wang tied the knot in a hurry, but her hands trembled so badly that it didn't matter after several times. After hitting it well, but because of a sore hand, the wrong hand swung a piece of silver to the ground.

The silver ingot rolled to Chen Xiaoyu's feet.

Chen Xiaoyu bent down and picked up the silver.

"Chen Xiaoyu, give it back to me, this is my silver." Chen Wang yelled anxiously.

"Your silver, isn't it? This is my mother's silver, and there is a gold character here!" Chen Xiaoyu picked up the silver ingot, looked it over and over again, pointed to a "gold" character inside the silver ingot, and said loudly.

Jin Cuicui's dowry silver when she got married was specially made by the mother of Jin, and there was a small seal character "gold" in the dark as a seal.

Chen Wang was illiterate and thought it was just a pattern.Therefore, after taking Jin Cuicui's dowry silver, Chen Wang didn't spend it, and didn't melt the silver ingot, so he just kept it.

"You're talking nonsense, no." Chen Wang rushed over, trying to snatch the silver from Chen Xiaoyu's hand.

Chen Xiaoyu took a few steps back, allowing Chen Wangshi to catch up.

Not only that, Chen Xiaoyu also said loudly to Jin Cuicui: "Mother, your stolen dowry silver is in the hands of grandma! Ah~! No wonder there is a saying that it is impossible to guard against a house thief!"

The Chen Daniu brothers' faces turned dark.

No wonder Mrs. Chen was so nervous about this bag of money.It turned out that this bag of silver actually came from this way.

The mother-in-law steals the dowry money from the daughter-in-law, and if this kind of thing spreads outside, the men of the Chen family will never want to marry a wife in the future. Who would want to marry their daughter to such a family?
"Chen Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense, I didn't steal it, it was given to me by Mrs. Jin herself." Mrs. Chen defended herself anxiously.

"Mother-in-law, you are really..." Jin Cuicui stood hesitant to speak, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking like a helpless and bitter daughter-in-law forced by her mother-in-law.
