Create a home with a system

Chapter 183 The Dowry
Tangning knew Jiang's fighting strength well, and was afraid of being affected, she shook her head vigorously, "Mom, I really don't know about these things. Brother Qiu didn't tell me that Grandpa Qiu was going to propose a marriage today. I don't know anything. What?" I don’t understand, so don’t ask me anything!”

As she said she turned around and was about to run away, Jiang stopped immediately, "Stop! I haven't finished my sentence yet! What are you running for!"

Tangning had no choice but to sit down impatiently, with an expression similar to Tang Junsheng's. The father and daughter looked at each other, suddenly feeling sympathetic to each other.

Jiang asked with satisfaction: "Girl, do you agree to this marriage right now? If you don't object, mother will agree to your grandpa Qiu, and you can also find a matchmaker as soon as possible. If you can marry you before the Chinese New Year Even better, hehehe."

Jiang Shi covered his face and giggled excitedly while talking, what's wrong with this?
"Mom, have you rejected me so much?" Tangning looked weak and helpless.

Tang Junsheng immediately felt distressed, "Who said that, dad doesn't dislike you, you can live at home as long as you like, we won't get married this year"

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown by Jiang with a sharp look, and his momentum immediately weakened.

Jiang said: "Girl, don't say that mother is cruel. Mother is for your own good. Marrying early and marrying late is marriage. As long as you promise, mother will definitely handle it properly for you and won't let you suffer." I am a little bit wronged, let me tell you, I have already prepared your dowry!"

Speaking of which, Jiang Shi ran into the house in a hurry and moved out a small box.

Both Tang Ning and Tang Junsheng looked at it in amazement. Forget about Tang Ning. Even Tang Junsheng reacted like this. Obviously, the Jiang family didn't let anyone know about it.

The box was opened, and it was full of jewelry and silver, which should have been exchanged before, and there were sixty taels by visual inspection.

Jiang said: "Back then our family was poor, and you paid twenty taels of silver to buy your eldest brother's marriage. My mother even said that I don't need your money. Here are twenty taels to return to you, and the other forty taels are for you." I specially saved it for you as a dowry, as well as some hairpins, you know how I got them, I don’t need them, so I gave them to you!”

Tangning quickly stopped her and looked around. Fortunately, no one else was at home, so she asked, "Did you tell me about this?"

Jiang shook his head without thinking, and said very stubbornly: "I saved all the money myself, and even your father has no right to ask about it!"

Tang Junsheng became even more angry.

Very well, this is the true manifestation of deep pockets.

She pointed to those hairpins again, "Then don't use these! They were originally sold to you, and I don't need this style!"

"If you don't need it, won't you keep it and wear it later?" Jiang rolled her eyes at Tangning, insisting on leaving those things to her.

After closing the box, she sighed: "It was difficult before, how could there be such good things! Now that life is better, mother will naturally give you as much as possible. After all, no matter how much money I make in the future, it will be your elder brother and your younger brother. You can't tell the difference."

This is the rule, and it is also the deep-rooted thinking of people in this era, which cannot be changed.

Tang Ning looked at the box in a daze. Jiang's willingness to give her so much money as a dowry is already very rare. One must know that Jiang Ying's family may never see each other for the rest of her life, and her uncle and aunt only gave her twenty taels. The dowry, twelve taels of it was the dowry from the Huang family.

"Mother doesn't need to give me so much, just like my cousin." Just as Tangning finished speaking, Jiang Shi hissed at her, "You keep this money for yourself, just say I will give you twenty taels of dowry , don't yell around."

Tangning immediately understood Jiang's meaning, and said with a helpless smile, "I understand, but mother, I really don't need money, you can leave more for my elder brother and younger brother."

The silver and copper coins in her hands are worth thousands of taels, so there is no shortage of money.

Jiang Shi gave her a glare, "Just keep it if you tell me. Also, if you don't object to this marriage, I will go back."

Tangning didn't say anything, Jiang said, "Then I'll just assume you agreed!"

As if she was afraid that Tangning would regret it, she ran away.

Tang Junsheng, who had been afraid to say anything, saw his daughter-in-law run away, so he asked Tangning seriously, "Have you really thought about it? This is a lifetime thing. If you think about it carefully, there is no room for regret."

Tangning replied simply, "Father, don't worry, I've made up my mind, Brother Qiu!"

Tang Junsheng was a little depressed, and it took a while before he said in a muffled voice: "Father is not as good at making money as your mother, and he can't give you too many things, but you can still buy your dowry bed wardrobe, etc. Tell me Whatever tricks you want, dad will do it for you."

"Father" Tangning was a little moved. This honest man has always loved her in the most simple way.

Tang Junsheng was not good at expressing his feelings, so he went to work in the back mountain after speaking. In less than half a day, everyone in the village knew that the Qiu family proposed marriage to the Tang family, and the Tang family agreed.

As expected, but also unexpected.

Huaihua glanced at her eldest brother, and said to her parents: "Father, mother, can elder brother marry Sister Jiang Ying to pass the family, and he must not fall behind Sister Ning and the others. I think Aunt Tang is in a hurry."

Mrs. Zhou thought so too, and immediately said, "I'll ask your sister Jiang Ying, if it's okay, we can get married at the end of the year."

It's getting dark now, everyone is coming back, just come and find anything.

Jiang Ying is currently staying at Tang Junsheng's house, and when she saw Mrs. Zhou coming, she almost knew what she was thinking, so she immediately smiled and led her into the hall.

Everyone knew Mrs. Zhou and didn't come here, so she said directly to Mrs. Jiang: "I heard that Aning and Jingming are getting engaged, when do you plan to marry Yingzi into my family!"

Jiang didn't answer directly, but looked at Jiang Ying, and said, "You have to ask the child's meaning, anyway, I have no objection, of course, the order of the elders and children, I also hope that Yingzi can get married before Aning, No, our head of the house even built a wardrobe and a new bed for Yingzi, just waiting for the girl to nod."

Jiang Yingqiao blushed, seeing Zhou looking at her eagerly, she could only nod slightly, "I can do anything, as long as everyone is busy enough."

"This is good! I must be busy!" Mrs. Zhou jumped up happily, and said excitedly: "You wait, I will go back and ask someone to ask Huang Li, let's pick an auspicious day to marry Yingzi!"

After Zhou finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Shi saw that Jiang Ying was not very happy, so she put away her smile and asked worriedly, "What? Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"

Jiang Ying shook her head again and again, "It's nothing, Auntie doesn't need to think too much, I'm just a little nervous."

more at a loss
Seeing Jiang Ying's sincerity, the Jiang family didn't think any further.
