Parents are busy farming

Today is the wedding day of Zhang Gaoyi's eldest sister Zhang Chunyue. There are no firecrackers and no one combs her hair.

Just deserted.

At Shenshi, a donkey cart stopped at the door of Zhang's house, and a tall man with calluses on his hands walked into Zhang's house.

Together with Zhang Chunyue, they kowtowed to the old couple of the Zhang family and then pulled her onto the donkey cart.

He is not stupid. He has no extravagant expectations for the bride to have any dowry. What kind of dowry can a stepmother give her?

It would be good for a family like theirs to have a daughter-in-law. He did not have high requirements for Zhang Chunyue.

But after he led the donkey cart out of the village and walked for a while, a boy stood there on the side of the road, carrying a baggage on his back.

"That's Gao Yi, please remember to stop." Zhang Chunyue said to the tall man.

She didn't see Gao Yi this morning, thinking that he didn't show up because he couldn't bear to leave her. She felt sad, but she didn't expect that he was waiting for her here.

"Sister, if anything happens in the future, please remember to find someone to deliver a message to me, and I will help you."

After Zhang Gaoyi handed the baggage on his body to his sister, he looked at the man who was much taller than him.

"You have to be good to my sister in the future and don't bully her, otherwise I won't agree."

The tall man did not speak, but nodded solemnly.

Zhang Chunyue had already opened the bag and was shocked when she saw the brand new ginger cotton inside.

"Where did you get this?" Zhang Chunyue asked worriedly.

"The fifth girl from the Ye family and I are on credit. I will give her money in the future. This will be your dowry to make yourself beautiful clothes."

After Zhang Gaoyi finished speaking, he left with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Chunyue wanted to stop him, but she knew her brother well and did not shout out in the end.

I cried silently while holding that baggage.

The tall man said nothing and continued to lead the donkey cart forward.

Zhang Chunyue did not tell the tall man about the money she had on her. It was her last guarantee.

"Zifen, come here, daddy wants to tell you something."

Ever since Ye Yongwang apologized to Zi Zifen yesterday, she felt much more comfortable.

So he followed Ye Yongwang into the main room.

"What's wrong?" After entering, he sat down by the kang and asked.

"Cough!" Ye Yongwang made a fist with his right hand and coughed lightly.

"Your mother's fetal position is now stable. I think there will be no problem with the housekeeping. Why don't you hand over the family's account books and property to your mother?"

After Ye Yongwang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Zifen.

There was nothing unhappy about Ye Zifen. She returned to the room and took the account book and contract.

There was a stack of account books, and every time one was handed out, Ye Zifen would explain the records inside.

"These are the family's account books and gift lists from previous years."

After handing over the ledger, he took out a few more contracts.

"Here are my mother's dowry land and the Ye family's thirty acres of land."

After taking all these out, she stood there silently.

Wang Tinghe picked up the deeds and asked Ye Zifen: "This was the Ye family's former property. Did your aunt buy it later?"

"The things my aunt bought later were clearly distributed before my aunt died. Everyone was present at the time. They were our dowry."

Ye Zifen looked straight at Wang Tinghe.

"You are not married yet, bring those things over and I will keep them for you."

Wang Tinghehe seemed gentle, but his tone was commanding.

"No." Ye Zifen clearly rejected her request.

"You are my daughter, so you have to listen to me." Wang Tinghe said immediately unhappily.

"Think about your origin and identity, and don't be too cheap." Ye Zifen said and walked out.

Back in the room, Ye Zifei and Ye Ziwei kept following her.

"Don't worry, I will protect your things."

As soon as Ye Zifen finished speaking, Wang Tinghe chased them into their room.

Start rummaging around.

Ye Zifen just looked at her coldly, feeling funny in her heart when she saw her behavior becoming more and more similar to that of Mrs. Lu.

After rummaging for a long time, except for a locked box, there was no contract anywhere else.

"Open it for me!" Wang Tinghe ordered.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Ye Yongwang walked in from outside.

Ever since his daughter got older, he had tried not to enter the children's rooms, but today he came in angrily.

Looking at the mess all over the floor, he couldn't believe it was his wife's doing.

Then he returned to the room and brought back the account books and contracts to Ye Zifen.

"Zifen, just continue to take care of it. As for your mother's dowry, you don't have to take care of it. Just let her take care of it."

After saying that, he took out Wang Tinghe's dowry land deed, stuffed it into Wang Tinghe's hand, and pulled her out.

Ye Zifen picked up the account book at home, opened the box and put the things inside.

Then he took out the contracts he carried with him, looked at Ye Zifei and the others, and decided to sew an inner pocket into their underwear in the future so that these contracts could be carried around.

Ye Zifei held Xiao Qi in her hands and protected Ye Ziwei behind her, her eyes filled with fear.

"Zifen, what's going on? Wasn't the eldest sister fine when she came back yesterday?"

Ye Zifei couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, Third Sister, I'll take care of everything!" After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she closed the box and then locked it.

Today Lu Lianhua and Yang Zhengde took their children back to their parents' home to give gifts.

Because Mrs. Lu and Li would bring them pork every year when they go back to their parents' home, so now they give gifts of chicken, duck and fish instead of pork.

Her family doesn’t raise pigs either.

But this year, Ms. Lu Li had already sold her pigs and told her that she would not bring any pork back to her this year.

Lu Lianhua was unhappy on the spot.

"Mom, how can you not give it! We didn't buy pork this year. How could we buy pork? Besides, pork is so expensive now! How could you sell the pig?"

Lu Lianhua complained while fussing.

"You're not that white-eyed wolf. You kill a pig and don't give pork to your own parents. What a damn bastard."

Mrs. Lu Li didn't see Yang Zhengde's face at all, and was still cursing to herself.

But Lu Dashan noticed it and quickly changed the topic.

"Someone is killing pigs in the village today. Old lady, use your money to buy some, and buy them for Lotus as well."

As soon as Lu Dashan finished speaking, he was rejected by Yang Zhengde.

"No, Dad, I brought money today. We can just buy it ourselves later."

"That's right, my brother-in-law is still open-minded." Lu Yongfu interjected.

Now they are living with their parents. The second brother is on the battlefield and it is hard to say whether he will come back, so in the future everything belonging to his parents will definitely belong to him.

For every penny more that parents spend on Lu Lianhua now, he will get one less penny in the future.

Now he is a miser and wants to guard his parents' money tightly.

Yang Zhengde ignored him and didn't talk much about people he didn't like.

"Mom, I didn't buy new clothes this year. Have you made me some clothes?" Lu Lianhua said again.

After hearing this, Yang Zhengde's face turned dark immediately. Two months ago, she spent the money he paid for his mother's medical treatment just because of the clothes.

His mother was very distressed when she saw the torn clothes, so she sewed them up overnight.

I didn’t expect that she wanted new clothes.

"Don't you have a new dress? Why do you need new clothes?" Yang Zhengde asked.

It was okay if Yang Zhengde didn't ask, but when he asked, the expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Lu Dashan changed.

The three and a half taels of silver they gave was secretly given, but Lu Yongfu didn't know about it.

It would be bad if this was spilled.

Lu Yongfu was in trouble, and if his eldest grandson found out about this matter, he would definitely not forgive them both.
