Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 772: I will definitely have a good meal
After sending away Mr. Huang's servants, Mr. Li looked at the twenty taels of silver on the kang and discussed with Mrs. Zheng.
Originally, Old Mrs. Zheng was happily thinking that she would keep five taels of the twenty taels of silver for herself, and give the remaining five taels directly to Li Mei'e as a dowry. How wonderful that would be!
But Mr. Li actually said that he wanted to keep the twenty taels of silver, all of it?
"Aren't you going to give it to your daughter as a dowry? After all, this money came from Mr. Huang's family. Wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable not to give it to your daughter?" Old Mrs. Zheng said hesitantly as she looked at the silver on the kang.
She was still very conscientious about Li Mei'e's matter. She felt that five taels of silver was acceptable and that she deserved it. If it was more, she would feel very guilty.
"What I bought for her and what you saved for her over the years are already more than enough. Any more won't make a big difference. We don't want the things the Huang family sent us. Take them all back to her, including the two gold bracelets. Isn't it enough to have so many things?" Old Master Li frowned and asked.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Zheng lowered her head and her eyes fell on the silver again.
Yes, it was a lot, so he kept the twenty taels of silver for himself? Just think of it as Li Mei'e being filial to her mother.
After having this idea, Mrs. Zheng began to find excuses for herself.
He had been so good to Li Mei'e over the years, and the money he had saved and spent on her was more than just twenty taels of silver.
After thinking it over, he finally figured it out. "Okay, let's keep the twenty taels of silver. It's just right for our retirement money. Anyway, it can't be touched unless there's something important going on."
Old Mrs. Zheng has already made plans. If she needs anything in the future, such as food or clothes, she will try to get Li Sanlang to deliver it to her. If that doesn't work, she can still ask Li Erlang. In short, she must not spend the money she has.
Old Mrs. Zheng was wondering whether she should tell Li Mei'e about this matter. The twenty taels of silver had already been packed up and placed in the cabinet.
This cabinet was specially used by Old Madam Zheng to store her private belongings. There was only one key, and it was on Old Madam Zheng. Even Old Master Li didn't have it.
In the entire Li family mansion, this is the only place where Mrs. Zheng can hide things and feel at ease.
"Let's not talk about our daughter, let her get married first." Old Mrs. Zheng thought for a moment and said.
Li Mei'e is a person who only cares about herself. If she knew about the twenty taels of silver, she would definitely not be willing to keep it. It would be better to keep it secret until she marries into the Huang family.
Old Mrs. Zheng thought that after seeing so much, she would not care about these trivial matters anymore. By then, she would not have to say anything and Li Mei'e would no longer be thinking about the twenty taels of silver.
Mr. Li looked at Mrs. Zheng with flickering eyes, but said nothing.
The twenty taels of silver had to be kept no matter what, regardless of whether Mrs. Zheng was willing or not. Mr. Li had already made up his mind when he saw the twenty taels of silver.
But his purpose is completely different from that of Old Mrs. Zheng. He is not doing it for the so-called retirement money.
He hasn't said that he is unable to move or work, so he can earn his own pension.
Even if it is really the time when we can no longer farm, don’t we still have the second and third children? Not to mention the delicious food and spicy drinks, can the second and third children who eat a lot still ignore themselves?
Let alone the second son, even when it comes to food and clothing, the third son and his wife will not say a word. Not only can they provide themselves with food and clothing, but they will also definitely pick the best ones.
Mr. Li knew what kind of people his third son and daughter-in-law were, and he was not worried about this matter at all.
The reason why Mr. Li wanted to keep the twenty taels of silver was because he had Li Dalang in his mind. After the baby in Jin's belly was born, Jin would definitely not be able to stay. If Hua was determined not to come back, he couldn't just watch Li Dalang being single, right?
Not to mention how miserable it is for Li Dalang to be single at such a good age, what will he do if he has no one to take care of him when he is old?
Then I really can't close my eyes anymore. I absolutely can't let this happen.
No matter what, there must be someone who understands the boss by his side. As long as someone can take care of the boss, then I will feel at ease.
Old Master Li has already thought it through. This time, when choosing a wife for Li Dalang, he doesn't care about whether she is pretty or not, or whether she has big or small feet. As long as she can work, serve others, and is honest, that's enough.
At the beginning, I should have found an honest person, maybe there wouldn't be all these things later. The boss is a simple-minded person, how could he know all these twists and turns? Wasn't it Hua who taught him?
Now, the bad habit has been formed. This Hua Shi just walked away, leaving behind a mess for him to clean up!
Mr. Li thought with some resentment.
At this time, he no longer thought about why Hua left, nor did he think about what Li Dalang had done.
Anyway, there has to be someone who can take responsibility for everything. Since Mr. Li is reluctant to let Li Dalang be that person, then Hua has to be the one.
"So we're not going to have lunch? Are we just going to wait like this? I'm thinking about having a good meal later. I didn't eat last night, and I'm thinking about this meal."
By noon, the topic of discussion in the room had changed, and everyone was hungry.
"That's right. I was thinking, when such a rich family marries a daughter-in-law, the banquet must be good, right? There must be some delicious fish and meat, right? I haven't eaten since last night. I gave a pair of pillowcases, which are my dowry, good things. If I don't eat more, I will be at a loss, right?"
"That's right. We are guests from the mother's family. If you don't treat us well, wouldn't that mean you are looking down on Mei'e?"
"Let's wait a little longer. They said they would come to pick us up after noon. Even if we are very hungry, we can afford to wait a little longer."
Old Mrs. Zheng felt a little uncomfortable when she heard their voices. This bunch of disgraceful people actually didn't eat the night before. If they went to Old Huang's house later, wouldn't they be like starving ghosts and eat whatever they saw?
After they finished eating, they just left without caring about anything, embarrassing their precious daughters!
But they all came with gifts, and they are all real relatives. Mrs. Zheng can’t just stop them from going. What would that mean?
No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of a solution, and Old Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she kept gritting her teeth.
