Chapter 178: After crossing the river, the bridge can be demolished
The Miao matchmaker sent two or three messages and asked the eldest grandmother of the Yu family to go back to her parents' home.
Grandma Yu couldn't hold her back any longer. Seeing the sun starting to set in the west, she slowly walked towards Dalang Yu.
Yu Dalang was facing the account book and quickly flipping the abacus. Grandma Yu looked at Yu Dalang after calculating the accounts and said with a smile: "All the accounts are correct? You are doing the abacus so fast that my eyes are dizzy."<
/p>
Yu Dalang closed the account book and sighed.
The things copied from Hejia Village were all worthless. They were fettered for more than ten days, but they still couldn’t get a penny out. Alas, they lost a total of thirty-seven taels of silver!
That Nier from the Li family is so cruel and ruthless that she even took the loom away! It’s really not a thing!
"My grandma sent me a message saying that she misses me. The eldest sister sent someone back before, but she didn't see me. The eldest sister also cares about me. There is nothing in the store at the moment. How about I go back and take a look?"
Grandma Yu has a soft voice.
"Didn't your grandma just come here the day before yesterday? You came here with Mrs. Miao." Yu Dalang thought about the thirty-seven taels of silver, feeling very distressed.
"I've been here before, I've come here, haven't I thought about it again?" Grandma Yu leaned against Dalang Yu.
"You can go if you want. It's not far from your parents' home. It's just a walk away." Yu Dalang put the account book in the drawer.
"Are you going empty-handed?" Grandma Yu pouted, said softly, and pushed Dalang Yu.
"Your mother-in-law took away two pieces of food during her last visit."
"It's two pieces of cloth, one is bigger and the other is only about half a foot, which can be used to make two pairs of shoe uppers." Although Grandma Yu dismissed the words, her tone was very soft.
"Go to the opposite side and pick up a bag of fruit." Yu Dalang counted twenty large coins and pushed them to Grandma Yu.
"Just a bag of fruits? I don't care. My mother-in-law will never care about this with me. If I take this bag of fruits back, it will be the Yu family's face if I have the face, and if I don't have the face, the Yu family will have no face!" Grandma Yu felt a little bit.
Annoyed.
"Then how much do you want to take?" Yu Dalang lost his temper.
"After all, I have to give you a four-color gift. How can I get a bag of fruits back to my parents' house? I didn't marry into your Yu family naked!" Grandma Yu turned around and was no longer angry.
"You still have the nerve to talk about your dowry?"
Yu Dalang thought of his wife's dowry, and felt distressed, adding another layer of trouble.
"The dowry list said rosewood cabinet, but the outer side was pasted with a thin rosewood board! On the dowry carrier, I saw that each piece was made of silk, but it turned out that the top piece was made of silk, and the bottom was even made of coarse cloth.
They are all there. If you pull off the top silk and wrap it layer by layer, you can say that it is all silk!"
"What do you mean by this? Do you dislike me?" Grandma Yu hugged Yu Dalang's arm and felt aggrieved.
"I don't dislike you. This is not something I just said." Yu Dalang sighed in annoyance, opened the drawer, and counted thirty more coins, "Just buy two more bags of fruit. You just go back and take a look. It's not the right thing."
When you go back to your parents' house seriously, there is no need for the four-color gift. Our copper coins are not yours? Besides, if you buy too much, your mother-in-law won't be able to eat it."
Grandma Yu wrapped the copper coins in a handkerchief, went to the pastry shop opposite, picked up two packages of snacks, and went back to her parents' house.
The next day, after lunch, Grandma Yu and Dalang Yu laughed and said: "My mother-in-law told me a little thing and asked me to discuss it with Sister Second. The store is not very busy at the moment. How about I go over there?" Yu Dalang stood up in a hurry and said, "Don't be empty-handed. You pick out some ingredients for your second sister, and I'll go to the opposite side to make a few packs of snacks. I remember that Ping Yatou likes to eat sesame halva."
Grandma Yu was startled unexpectedly, and quickly agreed. She watched Yu Dalang hurried out of the shop door, moved over, and picked up the materials absentmindedly.
Yu Dalang called a car again, carrying about ten large and small bags of snacks and two pieces of food, and piled them on the car.
The third grandma of the Heijia family looked at the ingredients and a bunch of snacks. She first sent people to distribute the snacks brought by her third sister to various places. She warmly welcomed her third sister in, shouted for people to bring snacks and tea, and waited for a while before sitting down.
Come down.
"Why are you here?" Grandma Ping San looked at her third sister critically.
"Auntie asked me to come over and discuss with you the dowry of my fourth sister." Grandma Yu weighed a piece of cloud cake and took a small bite.
"Fourth sister's dowry should be your business, why should you discuss it with me?" Grandma Pingsan raised her eyebrows immediately.
"It's not that I'm looking for the second sister, it's my mother who insisted on letting me come over." Grandma Yu glanced sideways at the second sister.
"Ama Miao and Aniang have long said that the rules are set, one takes the other, and the dowry of the fourth sister is your business!" Grandma Pingsan also weighed a piece of cloud cake and looked sideways at the beams. p>
"My dowry is thanks to the eldest sister, and the second sister didn't give me much money." Grandma Yu shook the cloud cake in her hand.
"What do you mean by this? Are you not marrying well, or do you think the dowry is too small? If you think you are marrying badly, it is not my fault. It is not my business and I have nothing to do with it!
"Grandma Pingsan is ready to fall out.
"That's not what I meant, alas!" Grandma Yu sighed and leaned forward, "Second Sister, let us sisters say a few words. Second Sister has probably never been looked down upon by anyone in the Heng family, but I
In the Yu family, alas, my elder brother made it clear that we were from the lower classes!"
"Why are we so stupid? He's talking nonsense!" Grandma Pingsan was annoyed.
"I was very puzzled at the time, so I asked him, what do you think he said?" Sister Yu tilted her eyes at the second sister.
Grandma Ping San also looked sideways at her third sister.
"He said that your Auntie Miao is a matchmaker, so what if your family isn't low-class?" Grandma Yu said slowly.
"Aunt Miao is not from our family! Her surname is Miao, our surname is Wu!" Grandma Ping San retorted very quickly.
"That's what I said too. Didn't you see our old man's expression of surprise and wonder? He even shouted out, saying that Miao Matchmaker is living in your house. You shouted one after another, why are we not the same family?
Yes? People outside say that your eldest sister and your second sister were both born to her." Grandma Yu smiled.

"Nonsense!" Grandma Pingsan raised her eyebrows.
"It's just nonsense, but what Dalang said, second sister, please calm down and think about it carefully. If you were an outsider, what would you think? Have you asked the second brother-in-law? What does the second brother-in-law think?" Grandma Ping shook her head gently.
Twice the veil.
Grandma Pingsan looked at her third sister sideways, looked away for a moment, and snorted.
Her family's Sanlang actually said similar things several times, asking her why Matchmaker Miao was so kind to their sisters, and asking her if Matchmaker Miao and her aunt were biological sisters.
"Speaking of it, the eldest sister is the one who suffers the most. For us, your father-in-law is a government official and our family is a merchant. The eldest sister is a serious scholarly family. It is no wonder that the eldest sister rarely returns to her parents' home.
I don't pay much attention to us. I used to complain about the eldest sister. Now I think about it, how miserable the eldest sister is, she is dragged to death by the family." Grandma Yu said slowly.
"Aunt Miao is almost fifty, isn't she?" Grandma Pingsan's face looked a little gloomy.
"No, yesterday I went back to see my grandma, and she was talking to her about how she was doing when she got old." Grandma Yu pursed her lips with a smile.
"What did they say?" Grandma Pingsan leaned forward and asked.
"What else can you say? It's not like you haven't heard them talk about it before at home. They just let us sisters take turns raising them. Grandma Miao said that she has been unable to do what she wants in the past few years. She said she would stop being an official matchmaker when she reaches fifty.
She was on an errand, and she also said that she and Ping Yatou can talk best, probably when she is here with you in the future." Grandma Yu slowly twisted her handkerchief.
Grandma Pingsan's expression became even worse, and after a moment, she snorted.
"It's only a few years away. We all have to be well prepared. Alas, it's the hardest for our family. Dalang, he gets annoyed when he hears the merchants. I don't know how many times I have said that if I have children in the future, I must let him
Study hard, my mother-in-law is a very shrewd person, well, when I think about it, I am so worried that I can’t sleep.
"If we are our own mothers, there is nothing we can do. No matter how difficult it is, we have to bite the bullet and face it. No matter how unhappy we are, no matter how unhappy we are, there is nothing more we can say. Just talk about it, and we can't.
I can push back, but Aunt Miao... Well, it seems to be very rare in our family. When the time comes, I'm afraid I will have to take more care of the second sister."
"What do I have to do? It's not difficult for me. We have a big family and a lot of things happen all day long. Can I stand up to this kind of trouble?" Grandma Pingsan said angrily.
"Second sister, it's difficult for us. Otherwise, we can discuss it with the eldest sister and try to persuade her." Grandma Yu gently poked her second sister.
"There are still four and five children at home." Grandma Pingsan was silent for a moment and frowned.
"With us three sisters, what do the four and the fifth have to worry about? Without this matchmaker, our family is a clean and honest family. Aunt Miao sticks to us and won't let go. The three of us sisters are the recipients.
Whether it's a drag or a benefit, who knows." Grandma Yu sighed in annoyance.
"That's true. To be honest, it's not a good idea for sisters like us to marry like this." Grandma Pingsan sighed, and then said with a smile: "You have a lot of money in your family, and the older man is very good at making money.
, the three of us sisters will get together at a restaurant, and you’ll treat us."
"Okay, Dalang is not doing well these days, and business is difficult. However, no matter how difficult it is, we sisters can still afford to have a meal together." Grandma Yu readily agreed.
