Mother Qiao couldn't accept such a result. Listening to the noise in her ears, people were already clamoring for the newlyweds to bow and kowtow three times, and some people crowded over to look for her.
In such a commotion, she still remembered that there were so many guests, and she would deal with this situation first no matter what. As for the dowry... Tang Hongyi had already entered the Qiao family, and she was still afraid of not having any money?
Besides, the most valuable things in the world are not the things on display, but real gold and silver. If the dowry is made up of silver notes, so many boxes are not enough. Just one box is enough.
Thinking of this, Mother Qiao calmed down, took a deep breath, and smiled at the visitor: "I'll come right away."
The Qiao family and his wife were sitting on the main seat, watching the newlyweds come to the church, with smiles on their faces.
After the ceremony was completed and the newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber, Mother Qiao was no longer in a hurry. She was just about to entertain the guests when she was pulled by the man next to her.
"Come inside first, I have something to tell you."
Of course, Father Qiao also saw the dowry, which was different from what was promised before. The key point is that the family is now in debt. If it is just this thing, there will be nothing left after paying off the debt. The important thing is
, Tangjiang girls marry at a low price... Even if they marry a girl from this alley, they can't just raise their hands and sell their dowry as soon as they enter the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Father Qiao couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on with the dowry? Did Zhikun tell you about it?"
There are some words and feelings that Mother Qiao would never dare to reveal in front of outsiders, but in front of her own man, she has no such worries. She frowned slightly and shook her head: "Zhikun didn't say anything about the dowry. I took it yesterday.
When I got to Jifu, I thought the Tang family was very generous, but this is what happened..."
Father Qiao's face was extremely ugly.
After the newlyweds came in, there was going to be a banquet. It was the busiest time at this time. When Mother Qiao heard someone calling her outside, she got up and walked out. She whispered: "Don't worry too much. It would be better if I gave you a banknote."
.”
Father Qiao looked in disbelief: "In a wealthy family, face is the most important thing. The dowry on the surface is not much, how do you expect to have a bottom line?"
Mother Qiao's heart skipped a beat, just as people outside were urging her again, she said without looking back: "Take care of the guests first."
The Qiao family has a lot of guests today, and it is more lively than other families in this alley. Firstly, they have married a noble daughter, and the dowry is huge, and everyone wants to see the fun. Secondly, this marriage in the Qiao family is a big deal.
Cheng, in the future I will have rich relatives, and I know that things will get better and better. Some distant relatives who have not been in contact with each other have come to visit with generous gifts this time, hoping to resume contact. Thirdly, Mother Qiao has been aggrieved enough before.
, now her son can finally make her feel proud, and the wedding banquet dishes she has prepared are the first in this alley... Some people who are busy at work help their neighbors at night, and they also took a day off today to come and have their teeth cut.
In the huge courtyard, many people were discussing the bride's dowry just now, which turned out to be a huge disappointment. During the meal, many people exchanged glances secretly. But there were also those who couldn't hold back their words and started talking in low voices at that time.
The eldest son and the third son of the Qiao family heard these discussions, and the smiles on their faces were stiff. They kept thinking... if they didn't do this well, their family would be in debt.
Two hours later, the guests had dispersed and it was already dark. The boss and his wife were cleaning up the mess left after the wedding in the yard, but they were obviously a little distracted and kept glancing at the Qiao couple.
The couple did not disappoint. After closing the door, Mother Qiao immediately ran to the new house.
"Hongyi, your dowry..."
Tang Hongyi is not willing to marry at all. This dowry is like sending a beggar. Moreover, for the Qiao family, they have already put all their effort into arranging the wedding, including the six rites before and the wedding ceremony today. But when Tang Hongyi came
She said that these were too shabby and could not compare with the scenes when her little sisters in her boudoir got married.
She has never been willing to be inferior to others, and before this, she had already approached her father for permission. Whether it was this marriage or the dowry when she got married, she was very dissatisfied, but her father blocked her.
She seems to have fallen out of favor!
Without her father's love, what would she have left?
She got on the sedan chair full of frustration, but as soon as she entered the door, the Qiao family asked about the dowry, which was like stabbing a knife into her heart. It's surprising that she looked so good.
She glanced at Mother Qiao, and her mocking eyes fell on George Kun: "You still say that your family is not here for my dowry?"
George Kun frowned. He took a longer-term view. Even if Tang Hongyi really only had such a small dowry and no money in the box, so what?
As long as she is still the daughter of the Tang family, she will definitely not have to endure hardships. Her own mother is still Mrs. Tang, so she will definitely help her secretly.
When he saw the dowry just now, his face was not very good, but he quickly came to his senses. After hearing this, his tone was gentle: "My mother thinks that the Jifu given by your family is too good, and you usually don't do anything about it."
She is generous, she is the legitimate daughter of the family, and she is afraid that something will go wrong with her dowry... Some people in our alley took advantage of the chaos and stole the bride's dowry, more than once or twice. She was also worried about us, not because she disliked the small dowry.
"
When he said the last sentence, he winked at his mother.
Mother Qiao was holding her breath, she just thought the dowry was too small!
However, she knew that she had to support this woman, so she did not have an attack on the spot. When she heard her son's words, she looked suddenly surprised: "I see. It's better not to have more. I'm afraid that they will go the wrong way and be carried by you."
Go somewhere else. Then... Zhikun, come out and help your brother lift the table."
Knowing that his mother had something to say, George Kun nodded immediately. Then he said softly to Tang Hongyi: "You have been tired for a day, rest for a while, and I will bring you some food. By the way, you have
Don’t have anything to eat?”
When Mother Qiao heard this, she was immediately unhappy. The dishes she had prepared today were already very good, and she did not know that the dowry was so small, so she specially prepared a lot. By now, the guests had dispersed, and there was still a lot left at home. This table
There are twelve kinds of dishes, and no matter how picky you are, there will be one or two that suit your appetite, so you can just grab some and eat them. My son asked, if Tang Hongyi wanted something that was not on the menu, would he still have to go out on the street?
Buy it for her?
We have just sent away so many people, and the house is so busy that it will take at least two days to recover. What food should I buy at this time?
Tang Hongyi waved her hand: "Just bring me some snacks from Douxiangfang."
Mother Qiao: "..." I'm so embarrassed to speak!
She glared at her son, but her tone was gentle: "Then you pack it up quickly and buy it back. Don't let Hongyi go hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, her actions and tone were completely opposite. She grabbed her son roughly, took him to the main room, and asked: "What's going on? You mentioned before that Tang Hongyi has never suffered since he was a child.
If she can't live in a small courtyard like ours, the Tang family might give her a house as a dowry. At that time, you said you wanted to take me and your father to enjoy the happiness... I didn't want to live there, but I wanted to know what the dowry house had.
No? Also, has she done anything to suppress the situation in private?"
George Kun spread his hands: "How did I know?"
Mother Qiao: "...Look for an opportunity and ask her. The family still owes a debt. I promised the newlywed mother to pay off the debt within half a month. If there is no news in two days,
, they will definitely come after us. If we can’t pay off our debts if we marry a girl from the Tang family, I’m afraid we will become a laughing stock again.”
George Kun also knew that the matter was difficult and nodded: "I understand."
The eldest brother George Ping couldn't help but sneaked in quietly: "Zhikun, I have delayed a lot of work because of your marriage. You must not let me suffer. Also, those debts I owed have been mentioned before.
Well, you can pay it back yourself. No matter what happens, my third brother and I will never get the money."
George Kun wiped his face: "I know, I didn't want you to come out. It's just..." He thought for a while: "Mom, originally Hongyi thought that our family was interested in her dowry. After a while,
It’s hard for me to ask, and even if I do, I’d be too embarrassed to take money from her. We have to plan for the long term. As long as she is still the daughter of the Tang family, we are not in a hurry!” He lowered his voice: “Just the two of us will take the auspicious clothes.
It can be worth a lot of money if you pawn it, and I saw the bracelet on her hand."
After hearing this, Mother Qiao finally felt relieved.
The expression of George next to him also softened.
The Qiao family married a noble daughter and lived the same life as before. If there is any difference, it is probably that the Qiao family likes to buy things. I heard that Tang Hongyi eats at least two of her three meals a day from outside, and they are all
Things from the big shop.
Mother Qiao saw this, and although she felt sorry for Qianzi, she also knew that she was in no position to blame. She saw that her son often came back with things, and she had other thoughts. After this matter was done, she called her son outside and lowered her voice:
"You can conceal the report, or say that something is missing and need to buy another one, or even give the clerk a favor. In short, you have to find a way to spend money. For your marriage, your eldest brother and your third brother have paid a lot.
You have to make it up to them."
George Kun had thought of this a long time ago and said: "It's not appropriate now. What if she suspects her? Don't worry, I know it well. Let's wait a little longer. After a while, she will let down her guard, and An Xin and I will
Once you get through life, it’s easy to talk about anything.”
Mother Qiao thinks this is reasonable.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to return home from three dynasties.
This is a big day for the newlyweds. At present, today's son-in-law is a distinguished guest in the family, and he can exchange cups with the elders in the family.
Master Tang took a special day off.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Tang finally felt relieved. The man's willingness to stay at least showed that he still cared about his daughter. As long as he cared, things would be easy to handle.
Before noon, the newlyweds arrived. Mrs. Tang specially sent someone to call Chu Yunli and the others over.
No matter what grudges there were in the past, everyone has their own lives now. Besides, we have sat at the same table before, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about now.
George Kun is neither humble nor arrogant. He speaks softly when facing Tang Hongyi and is considerate in every aspect.
"We're going up the steps, be careful where you step." He said, reaching out to protect him.
Tang Hongyi rolled her eyes. No matter how much she would care about her identity as Qiao's wife in front of outsiders, when she returned to her home, she made no secret of her dissatisfaction with the marriage, let alone her violent temper.
.
"I know the house better than you. I can touch you several times with my eyes closed. Do you want to take care of me?"
George Kun was a little embarrassed. Especially when she looked up and saw Chu Yunli, she felt even more embarrassed.
