Bai Tian bought a hollow peach blossom silver hairpin for his daughter. Under the thin silver chain, there were two polished red beans waving, which looked very beautiful.
Although it is hollow, it weighs eight taels of silver. Originally, such a hairpin cost about two taels of silver. Since Bai Hua is an employee of Shen Ji and has won the title of an outstanding employee, the shopkeeper gave him a 50% discount. I bought it for a tael of silver.
Bai Tian gave the hairpin to his daughter to put away, and warned: "Don't let your mother and the others know about it. Wear it again when you enter the city."
His mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law at home knew about it. If they knew that he spent a tael of silver to buy a silver hairpin for Hua'er, there would definitely be trouble.
"Yes." Bai Hua nodded vigorously and put the wooden box containing the silver hairpin into his arms.
This is the first silver hairpin she has ever owned in her life. The hairpins she used before were all peachwood hairpins that cost five cents each. But she bought the peachwood hairpin with her own New Year's money!
Bai Tian spent 30 yuan at a small stall and bought a pair of pink begonia silk flowers. If he wanted to get married, he couldn't just wear a hairpin.
When they got home, Xiang and Baihua wanted to see what the father and daughter had bought today.
Bai Hua took out all the clothes and silk flowers, but did not take the hairpin in her arms.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, just a set of clothes like this costs 500 yuan. How much meat does this have to buy?" Baihua Nai looked distressed. She thought that buying clothes worth 100 or 200 yuan would be enough, but she didn't expect her son. I actually bought something so expensive.
Xiang also had a face full of pain. The material of the clothes felt good, and the pattern and flowers were beautifully embroidered. However, she still felt that it was not worth spending five hundred dollars.
"Hua'er is really a eldest lady, wearing such bright and beautiful clothes." Mao's eyes were very hot and he spoke sourly.
If she had not given birth to a child and gained a lot of weight, she would not be able to fit into these clothes. Otherwise, when Bai Hua joins Nao Shizi Wei Ya, she will definitely find a way to get this good set of clothes.
"The eldest ladies all wear silk and satin. My sister-in-law said that I am the eldest lady. Will my sister-in-law buy this silk and satin?" Bai Hua looked at her sister-in-law Mao with a smile.
In the past, whatever this sister-in-law said would go in one ear and out the other, pretending she didn't hear it, or she would tolerate it and not argue with her sister-in-law.
But now, she is the one making money for the family. The family can eat well and wear good clothes because of her. Why should she endure it?
Mao: "..."
Being counterattacked for the first time, Mrs. Mao was immediately speechless. She snorted and returned to the east room with her child in her arms.
"Where is the remaining silver?" Xiang asked. After he left, she realized that he had taken two taels of silver from the money jar. Two taels of silver could not be used for such things, and there should be more than one tael left.
"On me." Bai Tian patted his belly.
"Then give it to me." Xiang said with his palms upward.
Bai Tian said impatiently: "I am a big man, I am not allowed to carry some money on me?"
"You can't carry that much, just leave a hundred and eighty cents."
Bai Huanai couldn't stand the way Xiang asked for money from her son. "A man should have more money, otherwise if something happens he can't get the money out. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?" Bai Huanai said. He looked at his son and said, "Don't give it to her. Just put it on yourself and see what she can do."
Xiang was so angry that her mother-in-law said something bad, but she didn't dare to argue with her.
This mother-in-law is very talkative and difficult to deal with. If a dispute breaks out, she won't be able to live in peace for half a month.
