"Think about it, it seems like just yesterday you were sitting on your father's shoulders and making mischief. In the blink of an eye, you are now at the age of getting married. It would be great if your father were here to watch you get married." He Chunmei's eyes slightly twitched. Wet and sighed, "Okay, let's not say these sad words and let's talk about your dowry. Mom is thinking about getting you a set of jewelry, but I don't know, this gold jewelry, these money Isn’t it enough?”
"Mom, why are we farmers doing such expensive things? If mom wants to prepare jewelry for me to marry, just like Sister Lan, a set of silver jewelry will be enough. It costs money to make jewelry from gold. , If you have to spend money in the future, you can’t use it as money, you have to go to a pawn shop to pawn it, it’s so troublesome.”
Lu Ziyuan was shocked. Even if the jewelry was hollow, a set would cost several hundred taels of silver. Wouldn't that set drain the family's wealth? She married into a wealthy family, so how could the family survive?
"Mom, I'm thinking that after you get married, Banxia and I have no place to spend money except for the monthly repairs. We have our own fields at home, so we don't have to buy rice and grain. But if you marry With Lian Guanlang and no land, the cost will naturally be high. Banxia and I can only keep a dozen taels of silver, and the rest and the silver from your shop will be used as your dowry. Haha, it is said to be a dowry, but in fact, it is all earned by you yourself, and it should be yours in the first place."
"More than a dozen taels of silver? Mom, how long can I keep a dozen taels of silver? Mom, according to my opinion, we won't plant the few acres of land in our family this year. It's very hard. Now, the second uncle's family We don't have time to take care of the fields, so why not rent them out together and just collect some land rent every year? Why bother? Our two families are not short of money to buy rice and grain." Lu Ziyuan was a little helpless. , this He Chunmei is so selfless that she has no selfish intentions at all. She is really willing to use all the hundreds of taels of silver as her dowry. If Lu Ziwan says that she is not touched at all, it is definitely a lie.
"Mom, now our family has income. I don't want to see my mother working so hard. Let's rent out the land according to my wishes. As for the dowry, I will follow whatever Sister Lan wants. In the future, when Banxia grows up, there will be many places where money is needed, so let’s keep the money for mother and Banxia.”
"How can that be done? Mrs. Lin, being a master in the village is a privilege, but Lian Guanlang has no fixed income. If you get married, you can't let people risk their lives to go hunting in the mountains. It's dangerous in the mountains. It's better to go as little as possible. The money should be reserved for you and your wife." He Chunmei shook her head repeatedly, "Actually, my mother feels safe leaving those coins with you. You are smart and hide things well, so no one can find them. , But mother is different. There are only a few places where mother hides. Although your grandmother can't move now, your aunt may visit me from time to time when she sees Banxia and I at home. You are half Sister Xia, my daughter, if this family has no money, even if you get married, can you still watch Banxia and I starve and suffer? If we need money, my mother will naturally tell you."
Lu Ziwan has no place to hide well, and it’s just the space between her eyebrows. But it’s really safe. No one can get it except herself. “Think about it, it seems like yesterday you just Sitting on your father's shoulder and being naughty, in the blink of an eye, you have reached the age of getting married. It would be great if your father were here to watch you get married." He Chunmei's eyes were slightly moist, and she sighed, "Okay Okay, let’s not say these sad words and let’s talk about your dowry. Mom is thinking about getting you a set of jewelry, but I don’t know if the money is enough for this gold jewelry.”

Wherever Lu Ziwan could hide it, it was the space between her eyebrows, but it was really safe. No one could get it except herself.
