Parents are busy farming

The day before the appointment, there was a constant flow of people in the Ye family.

First, the owner of the cloth shop personally brought various brightly colored fabrics to the door.

Then came the dessert shop, bringing eight gift boxes.

After Ye Zifen checked it, she sealed the gift box and handed over the remaining money.

Then a boatman came to the door with a big bucket, and in it were two big and lively carps.

After a while, someone sent two big white geese.

The door of Ye's house was already crowded with people, and people were talking about it:

A said: "Look at this battle, I think I'm about to resign! There are so many things, so particular."

B nodded and agreed: "It's really grand. Look, isn't it the shopkeeper of our newly opened cloth shop who just entered? The bundles of materials are so bright!"

Not to be outdone, C said: "Yes, yes! Look at the box of snacks, there are eight boxes in total, so grand!"

A said: "There are geese, there are fish, I don't know what else?"

C then answered: "Let's take a closer look tomorrow. We'll be able to see something at a glance."

B said: "I don't know how much dowry we will give?"

A said: "Logically speaking, it should be indispensable, but it can't be too much!"

C said: "Who knows! What if someone gives more!"

The buzz outside did not affect the busy pace of the Ye family.

Zi Zifen asked Zi Zi to go to the drug store and buy some saltpeter.

She herself chooses the appropriate seafood and puts it in the box.

First I took four abalones.

A beautiful box with cotton on the side and four large abalones in the middle.

This move immediately raised the level to a higher level.

It is said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle, and the same is true for this gift.

After closing the lid, Ye Zifen put the box and the box into the carriage again, and will take them out when setting off tomorrow.

I made another box and put eight sea cucumbers in it.

This was originally prepared by Ye Zifen for Wang Tinghe, but later...

Then there is a box of crabs and a box of different types of sea fish.

Even the starfish Ye Zifen prepared six.

There were ten boxes, and when they were finally filled, the lid of the carriage was barely closed.

Zi Ziwei watched from the side, and every time she pretended to do something, the corners of Zi Wei's mouth twitched.

Zhifang was also squatting next to her, imitating her behavior, and felt extremely distressed just by looking at her.

"Sea cucumber, abalone, sister, you've gone too far!" Ye Ziwei finally couldn't help but speak.

Seeing them like this, Zi Zifen was so funny, "Don't be like this, I brought it this time just for food, not to mention that it makes them suffer and can't talk about it, and it can also make the second uncle's family look good, what are we doing?" Don’t do it!”

Ye Ziwei changed her mouth, "But...but...but but..."

Ye Zifen knows her well! He quickly said: "I'll cook it for you as soon as I get back!"

Ye Ziwei felt better after hearing her promise, but seeing those things.

The thought of giving it to the two people yesterday still made me feel heartbroken.

Ye Zifen quickly left with her two sisters.

We can’t mess with two more stingy guys.

Qingyin was sent home personally by the Madam Madam.

After the wife of the bookkeeper came, she didn't waste any time and asked her brother to give Qingyin the dowry of her former sister-in-law and took out the Yamen's registration form.

Qingyin's stepmother looked very ugly, but she didn't dare to fart in front of this eldest sister.

He just held the handkerchief firmly.

Qingyin's father sighed and said to the madam, "Sister, Qingyin is also my daughter, how could I still treat her badly?"

The wife of the bookkeeper smiled coldly and said: "As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Don't talk nonsense. I just want to ask you if you can take it out?" ’

Qingyin's father could only nodded.

The wife of the bookkeeper handed Qingyin the dowry list of her former sister-in-law and asked her to check it in person.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, once you check, you will miss a lot of things.

When she came back with the dowry list, her eyes were red and her face was filled with anger.

The wife of the bookkeeper knew at a glance that there must be nothing but questions, and without asking her, she directly took the dowry list and went to the warehouse.

Qingyin's mother was an old acquaintance with the Madam Madam. The two families were from similar backgrounds, and they were both girls from good families.

The lady in charge checked the dowry list, came directly to Qingyin's stepmother, and threw the dowry list in her face.

"Make up those things before dark. If you can't mend them back, I'll have several members of your family squat in the prison."

After speaking, he glanced at his brother and took Qingyin back to the main hall to wait.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and make up for those things?" Qingyin's father was grateful for urging his aggrieved daughter-in-law.

Qingyin's stepmother was unhappy, but she still went to the warehouse where her dowry was stored and took those things back.

Qingyin's stepmother was the daughter of an old scholar, and she loved her very much, so she prepared a lot of dowry, but her father left before she grew up.

A lot of her dowry was plundered by several sisters-in-law.

She didn't dare to offend her sister-in-law, so she decided to get the dowry from the previous one.

After she returned all those things, she came to the main hall to see the madam.

The wife of the bookkeeper gave Qingyin a wink and asked her to go and see for herself.

After Qing Yin went out, the wife of the bookkeeper said coldly: "This small family is just not good enough. Their eyesight is too shallow."

Qingyin's stepmother's face turned red and she looked at Qingyin's father with tears in her eyes.

Qingyin's father put his hand to his mouth, coughed, and said to the head clerk's wife: "Eldest sister, the family has been unable to make ends meet in recent years. Don't blame her too much. I am the younger brother and I am incompetent."

He thought he could just take the responsibility on himself, but who would have thought that the Madam Registrar snorted coldly.

Said: "It's not because you are incompetent that you let her decide on your daughter's dowry. Your daughter has been delayed for so many years and you haven't compensated her a penny, but... Humph!"

The room was quiet for a while, with only the sound of Qingyin's stepmother sobbing.

The Madam Registrar suppressed the anger in her heart and warned in a cold voice: "I don't want anything to go wrong with Qingyin's marriage. If I find out that you two have done something you shouldn't do, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Qingyin's father heard her warning and lowered his head guiltily.

The wife of the bookkeeper narrowed her eyes, patted the table and asked, "Tell me, did you do something embarrassing again?"

Both husband and wife trembled, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

In the end, Qingyin's father resisted the pressure from his sister and told him about going to Ye's house.

Finally, he explained: "I didn't say it clearly, and... besides, that girl's eyes were too sharp, so I didn't dare to say anything."

The wife of the bookkeeper sneered, "You two are really talented. You don't need a matchmaker to come to the door yourself. It's embarrassing!"

……

"I'm warning you two today. The in-laws Qingyin is looking for are not ordinary people. They have deep connections with the Ye family! She will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family in the future. If you do anything to embarrass her again, don't blame me for being cruel. !”

She didn't tell them that she had heard the chief clerk mention it about Ye Zifen.

It is said that their promotion as county magistrate is inseparable from that little girl.

When I heard my brother's comments about that girl, I thought to myself: 'She seems to be a very thoughtful and powerful girl. Fortunately, Shi Bo's sister-in-law is not sure whether Qingyin can handle it. ’

well! Who cares about the children who raised them?
