The second master has made a marriage agreement with Silly Girl?
Mrs. Cheng sat upright suddenly.
These days, the dispute between the family and the Zhou family is about this young lady's marriage. Who will decide the silly young lady's marriage?
The Zhou family now raises Cheng Jiaoniang, so they take charge of the marriage.
Being the one who takes charge of the marriage is naturally the one who takes charge of the dowry.
The Cheng family naturally refused, and the two sides argued for a long time. Unexpectedly, the second master Cheng simply engaged the silly girl.
It is a matter of marriage and parents' orders. It is reasonable and reasonable for the second master Cheng to say this, and it also eliminates the reason for the Zhou family to cause trouble.
only……
Mrs. Cheng slowly sat back down.
"So fast? I don't know any information in advance. If I do it randomly, I'm afraid it won't work." She asked.
Don't think that in order to prevent the Zhou family from getting the dowry, you can just randomly find a blind, lame, stupid, beggar, scoundrel and marry someone. If that was possible, they would have done it when the Zhou family first came here.
Doing that will undoubtedly give the Zhou family more confidence.
It's really hard to tell this stupid person.
"I am not a careless family," the servant woman replied, "I am still a scholar."
A scholar?
"Which one?" Mrs. Cheng asked with a frown.
"I have been thinking about my dear mother's marriage since the moment she came home."
Mr. Cheng Er said solemnly and deeply.
The old man with the highest mileage of the house and Mr. Zhou both looked weird.
These days they have seen each other and how capable they are of telling lies, but today they still feel that Mr. Cheng is the winner.
"Although my dear girl is feeling better now, she has been sick after all. I don't think about those people from high-ranking families. Even if you enter their house, you will be ignored." Mr. Cheng Er sighed and looked at her.
Facing the door, his face was full of deep thoughts about his daughter's future life, "I don't ask for anything else in this life, I just want her to be safe and smooth, no matter what wealth or fame."
Mr. Zhou's mouth twitched and he smiled dryly.
"My Jiao Jiao'er naturally wants to live a stable and smooth life, and she doesn't need anyone else to provide her with glory and wealth. What her mother left her is enough." He hummed, "I'm just afraid that others will want to rely on our Jiao Jiao.
Live in glory and wealth."
"So, I naturally have to be careful in my selection." Mr. Cheng Er said, "The family must have the highest quality."
"Just tell me, which family did you choose?" Mr. Zhou sneered, "Let me see, don't just say it sounds good to you."
"He's not an outsider, he knows the basics." Mr. Cheng Er said, "He's a member of the Peng family."
Peng family?
Mr. Cheng's brows twitched, and a hint of understanding and a mocking smile flashed in his eyes.
Peng family, hum hum...
Mr. Zhou frowned.
"Which Peng family?" he asked.
The tea bowl rang softly, spilling some water stains.
The girl on the side was busy wiping it carefully.
"The Peng family." Madam Cheng said with a sarcastic smile, "It's such a good plan, but she dares to say it!"
On the other side, Mrs. Cheng Er and a woman were sitting in the hall.
"Why don't I dare to say it? I wholeheartedly do it for her own good." Mrs. Cheng Er said calmly, waving the fan in her hand.
"Yes, yes." The woman said with an apologetic smile, "Our family is just poor, I'm afraid the gentlemen have other ideas in mind."
Mrs. Cheng Er sneered.
"Poorer, except for the poor, you don't need anything else." She said, "First and second brother are scholars and have a clean family. Secondly, our Peng family is also a family of poets and writers. Speaking of Dongping Prefecture, we are not a scholar.
No name or surname."
"Yes, yes, my second brother is very good at studying. It's just his illness that has delayed him. But my uncle said that my second brother will definitely be able to get a meritorious degree in the future." The woman said hurriedly.
"She doesn't care about fame or not, as long as you treat her well." Mrs. Cheng Er said slowly, shaking her fan.
"That's natural." The woman hurriedly leaned forward, with a bit of urgency, "We are not another family, but your natal family. If we don't treat her well, wouldn't it be a slap in your face! Others will
We don’t know how to do it and we don’t think about it, but we do remember who you are.”
Mrs. Cheng Er had a smile on her face and shook her fan briskly.
"I feel sorry for you, sister, too." The woman sighed again and said, "It is always difficult for a stepmother in the world, and she is such a child. In my opinion, it is best for her to stay at home, but since the in-laws do not allow her to stay at home,
I have to marry her. No matter how lively the Zhou family is, it is up to them to choose the marriage. If it is good, it will be bad. If it is bad, then the shit basin will be blamed on you. The second master belongs to the father's family.
It's nothing to be negligent. Sister, you are the stepmother. When the time comes, people will say that you were the one who instigated and treated your stepdaughter poorly."
Mrs. Cheng Er sighed.
"What can I do? This is my life." She said.
"So I don't think I can help with anything else, so I'll just help my sister. It's not difficult for you to take care of the child." The woman then said, "Leave her to someone else's house. After all, it's someone else's house. Even though it was fine at the time, who knows?"
I dare say that in the future, if there is anything in the future, you will have no control over it, but our family is different. It is your home, sister, and we will listen to whatever you say."
Mrs. Cheng Er smiled and nodded.
"I also know that since we are poorer, people will inevitably speculate that we are plotting against the eldest lady's dowry." The woman sighed again and said, "So, when the time comes, in order to prove our innocence, we are willing to let the master and his wife pay for the eldest lady's dowry.
You take care of it."
This is the key. Mrs. Cheng's smile became more and more comfortable.
So what if you can't get the big deal? People should be content and don't be greedy, otherwise they won't get anything. Half of the Cheng family's assets, if they slip through their fingers, will be enough for their family to eat and drink.
The woman also smiled happily.
"Pooh."
Mrs. Cheng spat heavily.
"I'm not afraid of losing my children because of money! Are you going to marry a fool and then have a fool again?" she scolded.
"How can you have no children or grandchildren?" The servant woman beside her shook her head and sneered, "Madam, once you have money, wouldn't it be easy to have a few concubines? It's much better to raise a wife with delicious food and drink to make money at home than raising pigs."
Several servants and girls in the room couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mrs. Cheng also smiled and waved her fan with a straight face.
"Speaking of which, marrying that fool is a really good deal." She said, "As long as you show your face."
"There are a lot of shameless people," the servant woman said, "You have to be able to convince yourself."
She is not afraid of being laughed at for marrying a fool, and she is a scholar. The marriage chosen by Mrs. Cheng is really suitable for her to talk about.
"Madam, if it really happens, then the dowry will be in the hands of the second lady." The servant woman said in a low voice.
Mrs. Cheng held the fan and said nothing, with a complicated expression.
"Our dear ladies are different from other people. We have to be more cautious when it comes to marriage." She said, "Go and inquire about this family carefully."
She emphasized the words "good".
The servant girls understood and responded yes.
After the servant girl retreated, Mr. Cheng walked through the door.
"How? What did the Zhou family say?" Mrs. Cheng asked hurriedly.
"Said I wanted to inquire." Mr. Cheng said, not surprised that his wife knew about it.
Nowadays, this is what makes all the noise in the house. The whole family will know about it if there is any disturbance, and they can't hide it.
"I knew it was for the dowry. Even if I picked a god, the Zhou family would not let go." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.
"If he refuses to let go for a moment, how can he hold on to it for the rest of his life?" Mr. Cheng sat down, shook his head and sneered, "Don't forget, my dear wife's surname is Cheng."

There is one more update.
In the last chapter, I forgot whether Cheng Silang was a legitimate son or a concubine. Hehe, it has been changed (to be continued)
