The happy little days of the Ye family

"Aunt Ye, this is the dowry we have prepared for Guoer. No matter how much the betrothal gift given by your Ye family is, we will add it to the dowry and give it to Guoer."

Old Mrs. Ye took Li Guoer's dowry list, and the other three people also came over to look at it together.

A 20-year-old wild ginseng tree, two wolf skins, four thick quilts, four pieces of fine linen cloth, two silver hairpins, a large bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, a table, six chairs and two dowry boxes.

Li Orion and Yang also prepared 30 taels of dowry money for their daughter, but this is their daughter's private house, so there is no need to tell the Ye family.

After the two got engaged, Li Guoer could keep 40% of the money he earned as personal money. Over the past six months, he had probably saved more than [-] taels.

By the time she gets married, she will probably be able to save about 100 taels. Since her daughter is very capable, she will not have to worry about life in the future.

The dowry prepared by the Li family for Li Guoer was very generous, half as much as Li Xianger's original dowry.

It’s not that the Li family favors one over the other, the main reason is that Li Guoer is very good at hunting and collecting herbs, so she actually earned all the dowry herself.

She found the wild ginseng by herself in the mountains, and she and Li Feng fought back the two wolves together. The money she earned every month was almost as much as Orion Li.

20-year-old wild ginseng is worth 25 taels of silver, and two wolf skins cost 2 taels of silver, as well as silver jewelry and other things.

The dowry is so generous, and the dowry money will definitely not be short.

The Ye family actually didn't expect Li Guoer's dowry to be so rich, so the betrothal gift they prepared was a little small.

Mrs. Ye bluntly said that Ye Xilin had taken advantage of her, and then she winked at her grandson and asked him to quickly talk to Mr. Yang about the things he had prepared for Li Guoer in private.

Ye Xilin was worried that the Li family would dislike his betrothal gift. He was so nervous that his palms and forehead were sweating, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Seeing that her son was so useless, Ye's mother quickly said with a smile: "This dowry is already very outstanding. It is our Xilin who took advantage of Guo'er."

"My father-in-law has prepared the same betrothal gifts for both brothers, but Xilin has also saved a lot of personal money over the years. Yesterday, this boy said that he would give Guoer more beautiful jewelry."

After speaking, he pushed Ye Xilin beside him.

"I plan to give Guoer a gold bracelet, but as a younger brother, it's hard for me to surpass my eldest brother in terms of betrothal gifts. I want to give Guoer the gold bracelet in private." Ye Xilin stammered.

He actually planned to give Li Guoer a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet last night.

However, the dowry prepared by the Li family for Li Guoer was too generous, so Ye Xilin temporarily replaced the silver jewelry with a gold bracelet.

Hearing that Ye Xilin wanted to prepare an extra gold bracelet for her daughter in private, the smile on Yang's face became even brighter.

Being willing to spend money on her daughter showed that the Ye family valued Guoer, and the son-in-law was indeed right.

However, Yang was also worried that Ye Xilin could not make the decision on his own, so she secretly looked at the other three elders of the Ye family, and was relieved when she saw that all three of them looked good.

When Mrs. Ye saw Yang and Li Xianger smiling, she quickly told Yang about the three good days they had chosen to get married yesterday.

Yang knew all the days chosen by the Ye family, and they were all good days to get married.

It's quite a coincidence that a few days ago, Yang and Orion Li also found someone to calculate in private the suitable days for getting married next year and the year after.

Yang also named the dates they chose, which were: the end of next year, the beginning of the next year, and the middle of the next year.

The wedding dates chosen by the two families happened to overlap. Yang said directly:

"The two families have a tacit understanding. Since the two dates overlap, we might as well choose between the end of next year and the beginning of the next year."

Mother Ye knew that her son wanted to get married as soon as possible, so she persuaded her:

"I was busy with spring plowing in early spring, and my family was so busy that I didn't have time to prepare for the wedding. I think the end of next year is the most suitable time."

"There will be less things at the end of the year, so the family can prepare for Xilin's marriage, and Guo'er can better understand various things at home."

Although Mrs. Yang is reluctant to let her daughter get married so soon, she is really satisfied with Ye Xilin as her son-in-law, and there is only two months between the end of the year and the beginning of spring, so getting married at the end of next year is not bad.

However, it was not easy for Yang to decide this matter alone, so she still planned to wait until the rest of the family came back to discuss it together.

Yang said that the two families would go back and think about it carefully, and they would finalize the bride price and dowry, as well as the time of getting married tomorrow.

In the evening, four hunters from the Li family came back with a bunch of prey. When they heard that the Ye family had come to discuss the bride price and dowry today, Hunter Li was very unhappy.

"How come the Ye family does things like discussing such a big deal as betrothal gifts and dowries without giving any advance notice."

"That's right. I don't respect people at all. I'm not here." Li He always felt that Ye Xilin was too weak, just like a pretty boy, and he was not satisfied with this brother-in-law.

"Don't cause trouble here." Li Feng quickly pulled Li He away.

"Xilin is anxious to get married. It's not like you don't know that he comes here every day to show his attentiveness these days. Don't worry about these little things."

Mrs. Yang is now the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looks at him, the more satisfied she becomes, and she tries her best to say good things to him.

"This is the betrothal gift prepared by the Ye family. Take a look."

Li Orion took the betrothal gift list, and Li Guoer came over to look at it with a blushing face. However, both of them were illiterate. The father and daughter turned to look at Yang at the same time.

Yang only listened to Ye Xilin's words once. Most of the day had passed, and now she only remembered the 20 taels of bride price, two pieces of silver jewelry and one gold earring.

Li Orion quickly called his eldest son Li Feng over. Li Feng had learned calligraphy from an old boy in the village for two years. Although he could not write, he could recognize a lot of calligraphy.

Li Feng kept guessing, and with Yang's reminder, the Li family finally understood Ye Xilin's betrothal gift.

After hearing about the Ye family's betrothal gift, Li Orion felt that it was just okay. It was pretty good in the village, but it was still a bit poor for his daughter.

Yang continued: "Ye Xilin said that he plans to prepare a gold bracelet for Li Guoer in private."

Only then did Li Orion show a satisfied smile on his face. Li Guoer was a little shy and ran back to his room.

However, Orion Li and Mrs. Yang have great differences on the day when their daughter will get married.

Yang knew that the Ye family was anxious to get married, and they probably wanted the two of them to get married by the end of next year.

Yang felt that there was only a two-month difference between the end of next year and the beginning of the year after that, so it would be better to follow the Ye family's wishes and set the wedding date at the end of next year.

Li Orion, on the other hand, wanted to set the wedding date in the middle of the year after next and would not give in no matter what.

The two discussed for a long time, and their voices became louder and louder, and they almost started fighting.

In the end, it was the Yang family's high status that forced Orion Li to be persuaded, and the wedding was scheduled for the end of next year.

The young couple liked each other, and the two families knew each other well. It was better to get married quickly, but they couldn't let the duck fly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Xilin and the four of them went to Li's house again.

The betrothal gift and dowry have been decided, and the betrothal gift will be based on the betrothal gift on the list, plus the gold bracelet prepared by Ye Xi himself.

As for Li Guoer's dowry, it was directly based on what was on the dowry list.

As for the wedding date of the two, with Ye Xilin's smile on his face and Li Orion's face full of reluctance, it was set at the end of next year.

It's a good day in half a month, and the two families have agreed to bring a matchmaker over that day to make the appointment.
