take a wife to support the family

Chapter 140 Brother and Sister Help Add Makeup

Mrs. Niu asked Song Haojie to buy dowry items for his sister with the same amount of money, but he squandered everything, and even sent himself to jail and couldn't get out, almost disturbing the marriage.

Now Song Haojie bought half a carload of trashy things and still kept them at home. If you want to rely on Mrs. Dong, you can just use those things as a dowry.Old man Song and Niu wanted to save face, so they went to the county again to go shopping.

The old man Song was so old that he went to the county town all day long. He couldn't get a round trip for a day, and he couldn't bear to stay in a shop at night, so he had to find a big car shop to live in a stable. It was a lot of trouble.

Seeing Song Haojie in the prison, he scolded his third son severely, and finally told him to recuperate and repair the river: "Your brother-in-law got a half-time official, so I can get you out."

It's a pity that Liu Rulong is still a boy now, not even a scholar. If he wants to be an official, he doesn't know that he has to wait until the year of the monkey, but Song Haojie will come back after working on the river for half a year. Just be careful, don't plunge yourself into the river and let the flood rush Just go.

A lot of money was wasted, and the dowry was not as much as expected, Song Xiuxiu was very dissatisfied.But no matter how much she wants to tell Lily to save food and expenses so that she can save more for her dowry, she can't make her brother and sister-in-law have nothing to eat, and she has laughed at Lily for not giving the five grains a face, that's all.

Dong's face is also hot. When she married in, the dowry and the dowry couldn't fill a carload. Now Song Xiuxiu has to share 25 acres of land, and there is also a carload of odds and ends. What about a large custom-made chest of drawers? It's still at Liu Sanping's place.

In Dong's eyes, those fields should all be reserved for her Jinbao, not to mention Song Xiuxiu's daughter, even the second and third children are not eligible to share.

But Song Xiuxiu's fate is good, if she wants to marry a young scholar, it is for his future, the old Song family can't wrong Song Xiuxiu, and they have to support this facade even if they go bankrupt.

Two hundred dollars for makeup, she couldn't bear to hear it, but money was something she couldn't help spending, if she spent a little here today, and some there tomorrow, what would be left of her gold treasure in the future?
Niu said: "What can I do with two hundred dollars?"

Mrs. Dong immediately used Jinbao as a raft: "Mother, Xiuxiu is a girl, why don't we love her? But you know the situation at home, Jinbao hasn't been able to eat meat for a few days, how can we have any spare money?"

Lily turned her head to look at Song Jinbao who was in the yard and muddy urine. His chin was covered with three layers of flesh, and he was as fat as a ball. Thanks to Mrs. Dong, he could tell that Jinbao couldn't eat meat.

The youngest son and daughter are the heartiest, and the eldest grandson is also the sharpest. Niu didn't talk about Dong, but turned to Lily: "Your shop can make hundreds of dollars a day, so you use it to add makeup to Xiuxiu all the time." So what? She is doing well, can she forget about you?"

Lily smiled softly: "It's easy to say as you always say, the shop we opened due to debts, we have to rush to pay back the money we earn every day, lest it's too late, the interest will trap us. When we went in, my sister-in-law said that Jin Bao hadn’t eaten meat for several days, but our family only ate tofu every day.”

If sister-in-law is a sensible and good girl, so what if she pays some money for her dowry?

But Song Xiuxiu is like that, as long as Lily is not a bun, she has to think more for her family and save as much as she can, lest it is not worthwhile to help her and get herself into trouble.

Lily refused to eat oil and salt, Niu was overwhelmed by her attitude and sat there sulking.The mother-in-law didn't speak, and she didn't have the daughter-in-law to speak. Lily looked down at the hem of her clothes. There were some wrinkles there, so she should iron it...

It didn't take long for Song Haonian to come in, and he could tell from the atmosphere that Tan Beng had collapsed. He sat down in front of Lily and asked, "Mother, why are you calling my wife?"

Ever since Song Haonian sent Song Haojie to the prison, Niu Shi didn't like to see him, and was a little afraid of him.She called Lily here today because Baihe is easier to bully than Song Haonian: she is not an obedient master, Li Baihe can talk back at most, but Song Haonian is a cruel thief who will send his brother to him if he disagrees. Death rule miles!

Lily whispered: "Xiuxiu's good news is coming soon, mother asked us to come and discuss how to add makeup to Xiuxiu. I think we are the same as sister-in-law, and we will all pay two hundred dollars."

"Well, you have a good idea." Song Haonian now wants to plan for his own small family, and give his parents a heart-to-heart. They don't appreciate it, and blame him for not caring Cut it off and feed them.

No matter how kind a person is, there is a limit. They treat Song Haonian like this, no wonder he is chilled.

The old man Song originally expected Song Haonian to say a few words to Baihe, but now he could only calm down when he heard this, and sighed: "That's it, you will pay two hundred yuan each, and the rest will come from the pension money of me and your mother." Come out."

Song Haoshi hurriedly said: "Father and mother, don't worry, you still have Jin Bao and me in your old age."

They provide for the elderly couple, and all the wealth of the old couple must belong to him, if not all, it must be more than half.

Dong said sourly: "It's nothing for us to provide for our parents, but you, the second child, don't need to provide for the elderly, so what are you doing like that? Don't honor your sister-in-law and brother-in-law with the money that should honor your parents."

Song Haonian doesn't care about disputes with Mrs. Dong, he just pretends not to hear them.

Niu yelled angrily again: "When the time comes to go out for a drink, you two sister-in-laws, don't shrink back!"

It is customary in Qingliu Town that a girl will have a wine at home three days before she gets married, and invite relatives and friends, especially her uncle's, to have a drink and receive a gift along the way.Some sensible families will marry all the gifts received to the girl as cash, and some families will marry their daughters to make a fortune.

Lily said: "I will definitely come back to help when the time comes."

Niu choked again, she had to hire a chef for the outing, and now she was worried about the family's money, and wanted to ask Bai He and Dong to take over the job of the chef, so as to save the cost of hiring the chef.

Being a chef is a hassle, if the owner is generous, it’s okay, but when you meet someone like Niu who is not generous, you want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass, and even make a home-cooked meal, you think she is too oily. Many, let alone a banquet?

Lily didn't go around, Dong's skills can't be a chef, Niu was very discouraged, and said listlessly: "It's all gone, don't forget to help when the time comes."

Seeing that the matter was about to be settled like this, Song Xiuxiu was in a hurry, she called to Baihe and said, "Second sister-in-law, how many pieces of jewelry do you still lack, can you give me some pieces?"

Lily stood there looking at Song Xiuxiu, wanting to see how thick-skinned she was. Song Xiuxiu didn't feel that her request was too much at all. She wanted to be a talented lady, and asking for Lily's jewelry was for her face. In the future, she would It's not that he won't repay her.

After not seeing Song Xiuxiu for a while, Baihe felt a little ashamed, so she had no choice but to say: "I only have two or three pieces of jewelry in total, so tell me, which one do you want?"

Her tone was not very good, if she was someone who could listen to people, she should give up at this time, but Song Xiuxiu thought differently from ordinary people, so she let Lily let her choose and said happily: "I don't like anyone else, you just Give me that golden butterfly hairpin!"

Now even Mrs. Dong glared at her sister-in-law like a ghost: She made such a fuss about the butterfly hairpin last time, is she still not willing to give up?
Before Baihe could speak, Song Haonian said decisively: "No! Xiuxiu, don't think about your second sister-in-law's jewelry."

His daughter-in-law only had those few things in total, except for the butterfly hairpin, only two pairs of silver clove earrings, a plain silver bracelet, the bracelet was still hollow, and it was light in the hand, because it was given by him, she regarded it as a treasure and worked hard. If you don't want to wear it from time to time, you must take it off and put it away, and you will take it out and wear it for a while when you have time to rest.

He felt that his daughter-in-law couldn't wear good jewelry with him, and she was wronged a lot. Song Xiuxiu wanted to make up with those kinds of jewelry, how could Song Haonian not be angry?
Song Xiuxiu said loudly: "This is not okay, that is not okay, neither money nor jewelry, why do you still think I am your sister?"

Song Haonian was at a loss for words for a moment, but she didn't know how to answer her——no matter how much her elder brother and sister-in-law have, she shouldn't be her sister's. How could Song Xiuxiu have the face to think that her elder brother and sister-in-law should be used for her food and drink?
He said with a cold face: "If you keep staring at your second sister-in-law's things, I will treat you as a girl!"

Song Xiuxiu was frightened by Song Haonian all of a sudden, but she was not reconciled to the butterfly hairpin she had admired for a long time slipping away, so she said to Lily: "Second sister-in-law, say something!"

"What can I say?" Lily sneered, "Should I say that you are welcome to snatch me away, or should I say that I shouldn't live my own life and work so hard for you to live a good life?"

Song Xiuxiu said with a stern face: "You always want to give me something!"

Ever since Song Haojie squandered her dowry money, Niu still felt that Song Haojie had done nothing wrong, and Song Xiuxiu felt that her natal brothers were also unreliable, and the only thing she could really rely on was money.

If she doesn't take advantage of getting some extra money before marrying the young scholar, how will she live in the future?
This is not a sister-in-law, but a creditor!
Lily said bluntly: "Why?"

"Just because I want to be a scholar's wife! You can either give me money or jewelry, and if you don't give me either, you can become a scholar's sister-in-law. How can there be such a good thing?"

During this time, Song Xiuxiu was well versed in the tricks of asking for money. She used "a large dowry" in front of the Liu family to emphasize that she was rich, and at home she used her future status to blackmail her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

It is said that the whole family is putting on make-up, and her face is no worse than a robber.

Lily was dumbfounded, thinking that this girl really didn't want any face, and she didn't know what would happen to her in the future.

She was very upset about the matter in front of her, and she didn't want to worry about it anymore, so she pulled Song Haonian's hand: "What do you think?"

Song Haonian said: "Xiuxiu, you are my own sister, and you are young. We don't care about you like you. If you want to marry, I should add makeup to you, but it's useless with the hard-earned money of me and your sister-in-law. The reason for supporting you. We will send you the money for adding makeup, five hundred yuan, it will be the bottom of the box for you, not for fear of you. "

"You live your own life well in the future, as long as you don't have my second brother, you don't have to think about cheating from me. If your second sister-in-law doesn't listen to me and dares to send you things and money, I can't spare her !"
