When Zhou heard this, she obviously felt that she had been greatly insulted.
"I transferred property? What property did I transfer? What is placed here is my daughter's dowry!" Mrs. Zhou said with her eyes widened.
Seeing how angry Mrs. Zhou was, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family felt that she could play support again.
So she just said, "In our place, if a daughter's family needs a dowry, it is the man who should come to the door with the betrothal gift. Even if there are generous parents who provide a dowry, it is just something that can be bought in a box. You There are eight boxes in one load, and we have never seen this kind of battle."
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that the eldest aunt of the Zhou family would jump out and say such sarcastic words again at this time. It seemed that she had a short memory after all.
"Sister-in-law, this is the capital? When a daughter is married here in the capital, the betrothal gift and dowry are handed over to the daughter in equal measure! You have never seen this before, but you have seen it today. When I got married, I also received eight betrothal gifts. Today Is it too much to ask for eight betrothal gifts for your daughter?"
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately said, "My daughters are from outside the family, so why do they need so many things? They can't hold them anyway, so they have to go to their husband's family to supplement them."
Hearing what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said, Zhou Ruyu's expression changed on the spot. When Mrs. Zhou saw what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said, she couldn't help but provoke her and said, "So, your daughter is also a foreigner, so you can't take it. A dowry?"
After hearing this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family naturally realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she actually said what was in her heart.
"What are you talking about? Can my daughter be the same?"
But everyone knows that what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said is pale.
Zhou Ruyu naturally understands this very well.
After all, she had been married once. When she married Mr. Zhu, she was naturally very glamorous in front of outsiders. Although the Zhu family was dissatisfied with her marriage to Mr. Zhu, it was time for the rice to be cooked. It was not easy for them to deny it, so in the end they married Mr. Zhu, and the Zhu family brought eight loads of betrothal gifts into their house.
As a result, after the betrothal gift came in, she didn't even ask her family to pay the dowry. Her father thought it was embarrassing and refused to prepare any preparations. Her mother felt that she should be rewarded for her hard work in raising her daughter, so she just kept the betrothal gift as her own.
The final result was that when she married into the Zhu family, she didn't bring back a cent.
At that time, everyone in the Zhu family ridiculed her because of this matter. She felt embarrassed when she couldn't live up to her reputation, but fortunately, Master Zhu had her in his heart at that time, so even though everyone in the Zhu family spoke ill of her, at least Master Zhu defended her.
In addition, the eldest wife of the Zhu family is also quite tolerant, so under the opposition of the eldest son of the Zhu family and the control of the eldest wife of the Zhu family, those rumors were restrained.
But even so, Zhou Ruyu did not live a good life in the Zhu family. As the eldest son of the Zhu family became more and more indifferent to her, this matter once again became a point of contention between them.
Whenever the eldest son of the Zhu family quarrels, he will always point out that he came to the house without taking anything and that the Zhou family sold their daughter.
Thinking of those past events, Zhou Ruyu's eyes turned colder when she looked at her mother.
But she said nothing.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou only continued, "Sister-in-law, I would like to kindly advise you that this is the capital, not a small place. Boys and girls are the same. If you want to marry your daughter in the capital, you must prepare a good one." Dowry. If you really care about your daughter, you should prepare a generous dowry. After all, she is your only daughter! Whether she has the face and confidence to marry depends entirely on your generosity. If you can't bear to part with these eight things, I advise you to stop thinking about marrying a daughter in the capital as soon as possible, otherwise you will probably be laughed at by anyone who sells your daughter to any family you marry."
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family also looked embarrassed when she heard this.
Although she wanted her daughter to marry a good family, the premise was that her daughter could bring benefits and advancement to their family.
However, according to Zhou's words, not only would they not be able to get betrothal gifts and benefits when marrying a girl in the capital, they might also have to pay a large dowry.
After hearing this rule, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
That’s it.
Zhou Ruyu naturally had the same worries. If this was the rule in the capital, her mother would definitely not be willing to pay such a sum of money.
Maybe in order to earn the bride price, her mother might marry herself to someone.
Zhou Ruyu wanted to marry a good family because she wanted to be the master of her own family and get rid of her original family while still allowing herself to live a decent life.
As for her parents, this was not the first time she knew that her parents were partial.
So when Zhou said these words, although her parents' reaction could not help but chill her, she did not feel sorry for herself. On the contrary, she quickly adjusted her emotions and said, "Let outsiders say whatever they want." He said, anyway, it is our family who is marrying their daughter. You have the rules of the capital city, but our family also has the rules of our family. They are asking to marry me. Since they are asking to marry me, they should naturally respect the rules of my family. If they even If you don’t have any respect at all, then I won’t marry such a person.”
Zhou Ruyu's words were very beautiful. After hearing these words, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family felt very comfortable, "That's what my good daughter said!"
However, after hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel sad for Zhou Ruyu.
Who is a daughter who doesn’t want to have more capital when she gets married off?
After all, she had to go all alone to integrate into a big family that was not related to her by blood.
She had heard about Zhou Ruyu getting married. She didn't have any dowry, and all her betrothal gifts were withheld by her family.
As long as the brain is not weak, it is impossible not to feel uncomfortable, but Zhou Ruyu is still talking in favor of his mother when faced with such words. Such words are just words that go against one's conscience.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou didn't bother to poke other people's scars anymore. At the moment, she just took the initiative to say to him, "I can't interfere with your family's affairs, but I hope you won't interfere with our family's affairs. This is my daughter." I can give her as much dowry as I am willing to give her. This is our business, so you don’t have to worry about it!”
However, while Zhou was talking like this, the youngest of the Zhou family suddenly opened one of the boxes behind her. Then, with a flash of golden light, Zi Juan suddenly said, "What on earth are you doing!"
Zhou naturally turned around at this time and saw that her daughter's dowry box had been opened!
When the third child of the Zhou family saw this box full of gold and silver jewelry, he immediately exclaimed, "This is too much. Have you transferred all the property of the second child's family?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard what the third child of the Zhou family said, she just said coldly, "Half of this is mine, and the other half was prepared by my husband for Yaoniang."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou only said to the third child of the Zhou family, "If you don't believe it, you can read the list."
After finishing her words, Mrs. Zhou only motioned to Zijuan to get the list. Zijuan was naturally very unhappy, "Madam, this is our home. These things are naturally our lady's dowry. Why should we show them to outsiders?"
However, at this moment, Zhou was obviously fighting against the opponent with the thought that the opponent had seen everything anyway, and she was not lacking in this at the moment.
"Zijuan, don't talk so much nonsense to me. I asked you to get the list and show it to them. Just hurry up and get the list to show them." Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but say this to Zijuan at that moment.
Although Zijuan was still reluctant, she didn't dare to disobey the madam's order, so she could only reluctantly go to the box to get the list.
Seeing Zijuan like this, Zhou felt a little relieved.
Soon Zijuan took out the list of today's dowry, and Mrs. Zhou then just said, "Zijuan, please give the list to the eldest master for review! These are all the betrothal gifts that my husband and I planned back then."
Hearing Zhou's words, the little girl nodded and handed the list to the eldest uncle of the Zhou family.
The eldest uncle of the Zhou family was really embarrassed to order his niece's dowry.
At first, they only thought that their niece's dowry might not match what was on the list. After all, the list was only one page, and it was definitely an exaggeration to pack so many things in eight boxes.
Can
When they turned over from top to bottom, the third son of the Zhou family who was still very excited soon became embarrassed. Seeing that the third son of the Zhou family did not say a word, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family who was farther away couldn't help but take the initiative to say, "Old man." Three, why didn't you say anything? What? Did you discover something that you shouldn't have discovered?"
Facing the words of the eldest uncle of the Zhou family, the third son of the Zhou family just said in frustration, "Brother, come and take a look."
After hearing what the third child said, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family immediately followed him.
After seeing the situation in the box, everyone just stopped talking.
Although the jewelry in this box is indeed shining with gold, it makes people feel love and affection. However, when they opened the box and flipped to the bottom, they no longer wanted to talk.
Although the box was covered with a layer of jewelry, the underneath was all cloth, and the cloth was not silk, let alone cotton, it was just the cheapest linen.
Opening several other boxes of jewelry, they all have the same layout. There is a layer of jewelry on the top, and the bottom is all linen. Even for the sake of weight, the bottom is filled with stones.
And a lot of the jewelry looks fake at first glance.
Mrs. Zhou also seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
When others looked at Ms. Zhou, before they could speak, Ms. Zhou seemed to have given up on herself and said, "Are you satisfied with the dowry now? Are you relieved?"
"How could you fool Yaoniang's dowry like this?" The eldest uncle of the Zhou family couldn't help but speak first.
No need to click on the list now, Uncle Zhou can be sure that there is no possibility of the other party transferring the property.
After all, even in their eyes, this thing still looks too shabby.
Mrs. Zhou only looked at the others with concern and said, "What can I do? I only have this little stuff at home."
