The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

It only took one morning for Meng Jinyao to figure out the income of Zhuangzi and the shop over the years.

The Zhou family was not as good as the Yongchang uncle's house, but it was not bad either. Her mother was the only daughter of the Zhou family, and the family gave her a generous dowry. Whether it was a village or a shop, the income was good.

However, her second uncle was a gambler who was addicted to gambling, and her grandmother manipulated the house and lost a lot of family property. In addition, Yongchang House has declined over the years, and her mother's dowry has helped maintain Yongchang House. of decency.

Most of the income from the Zhuangzi and the shops has been spent in Sun's hands.

Ningdong saw the total amount calculated by his master and said calmly: "They... they are so exaggerated. Can this huge Yongchang residence be supported by the late wife's dowry?"

Meng Jinyao chuckled: "My good father is so proud of himself that he spends money lavishly and wastes money."

After a while, Chun Liu came in with a tray, took out the plate of snacks and placed it on the table, then brought a bowl of milk, red bean, glutinous rice balls and sugar water to Meng Jinyao.

Seeing Meng Jinyao's confusion, Chunliu explained: "Madam, the day before yesterday, the slave saw that you like to drink milk, and said that you wanted to drink sugar water made from milk. Today, when the slave saw that there was fresh milk in the kitchen, she took the initiative and asked the cook to make one. , I don’t know if it suits your taste.”

Meng Jinyao was slightly stunned. She had recited something that day, and Chunliu wrote it down. Not only did he write it down, but he also noticed that she liked red bean cakes and glutinous rice balls, so she made sugar water with the red beans and glutinous rice balls that she knew how to eat. This way, she won't be afraid that there will be something she doesn't like to eat. Neither Qingqiu nor Ningdong around her is so meticulous.

She picked up the spoon and took a sip, nodding with satisfaction: "It tastes good. You are serious about it. I just said it casually at the time. It's hard for you to remember."

Chunliu's face was filled with joy: "It's good that Madam likes it, otherwise this servant would have done something bad with good intentions."

Meng Jinyao put down the spoon, folded up the dried letter, and was about to hand it to Ningdong, when she saw Chunliu looking at her eagerly, as if the words "I want to serve Madam" were written on her face.

The man was so warm and she couldn't resist his kindness, so she handed the letter directly to Chunliu and said: "Chunliu, go to the Yongchang uncle's house and give this letter to my father."

After Chunliu heard this, she was so happy that she reached out her hand to take the letter and said respectfully: "I will send it over right now."

Meng Jinyao nodded and picked up the spoon to drink the sugar water again. The cook's cooking skills were good. She got rid of the fishy smell of milk and only smelled the rich milk fragrance, which whetted your appetite.

Ningdong glanced at Chunliu who was walking away briskly, and felt very disgusted in her heart. If Chunliu hadn't been there, she should have delivered this letter. She couldn't help but muttered: "Madam, this slave has fallen out of favor." .”

"Why did you fall out of favor?" Meng Jinyao shook her head and laughed, pushing the plate of snacks in her direction, "If you are willing to run errands, I will let you do it next time. Here, the crystal cake you like is freshly baked. It’s still warm, eat more.”

When Ningdong heard this, the jealousy quickly dissipated, and a smile appeared on her face again. The corner of her mouth was grinning almost to her ears. Madam still loved her. Chunliu went to run errands, and she stayed to eat cakes.

Meng Jinyao saw that she was coaxed with a few pieces of pastry, and smiled helplessly. This girl is just good at eating. If a man coaxes her with food in the future, he may fall into trouble.

-

Yongchang Bofu.

Meng Dongyuan had a bad premonition when he received the letter sent by Chunliu, but Chunliu looked unfamiliar and knew at a glance that she was not a maid from the Yongchang House, but must be from the Changxing House. It was hard for him to show anything. After receiving the letter, he generously gave the person a reward and sent him away.

After Chunliu left, Meng Dongyuan read the letter and immediately became angry. He kicked over the chair in front of him and shouted angrily: "Rebellious girl!"

Mrs. Sun heard this angry shout as soon as she arrived, and was so frightened that she shrank her neck. She quickly realized that her husband was scolding Meng Jinyao, so she hurriedly walked into the hall and asked: "Husband, please calm down and be careful." Your body is broken, what happened?”

Meng Dongyuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He handed her the letter in his hand and said angrily: "Look at this evil, she is trying to force her family to death. How come it was the Zhou family who died back then and not her? Raise her So old, it’s just that I don’t know how to be grateful, and I still have to collect debts from my parents’ family.”

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she quickly took the letter and looked at it carefully. She found that it was a debt collection letter. When she saw the amount on it, she almost fainted.

Does their family have as much dowry money as the Zhou family?

This is not a small amount of money. Even if all her dowry is discounted and paid to Meng Jinyao, it will not be enough. The Lord Yongchang's mansion will also have to pay a lot of money.

Sun was so anxious that she quickly came up with a good idea: "Husband, why don't you talk to A-Yao and pay her back in installments? We can pay her back a little in a year, and we will definitely be able to pay it off in the future."

Meng Dongyuan glanced at her and said angrily: "Didn't you see what that rebellious girl wrote at the end? Pay her a lot of money within ten days, otherwise she will report it to the official, she dared to make such a big fuss , do you think she really doesn’t dare to report to the official?”

Sun was choked by these words.

Meng Dongyuan rubbed his brows irritably. Seeing the aggrieved look on Mrs. Sun's face, he felt even more irritated. If he had known this, he should not have listened to Mrs. Sun's instigation and took away Mrs. Zhou's dowry. This would not have happened. It's a scandal.

He waved his hand and said in a displeased tone: "Okay, don't be idle anymore. Go and convert your dowry into cash, collect it and return it to the rebellious girl. If there is not enough, you can spend it from the government accountant."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun felt angry and aggrieved. Her husband's family blatantly wanted to expropriate her dowry, but they used it as a matter of course. All her dowry was confiscated in an instant. Without the support of money and silk, she was penniless and could only use it. She felt very uneasy about being a pauper who could rely on her husband's family for a living.

Meng Dongyuan frowned unhappily and said calmly, "Madam, don't worry, these children will be promising. Ayu is as tall as a flower and will marry a good husband in the future." Help the Meng family, and when the Meng family is revitalized, the money you paid will definitely be returned to you."

Mrs. Sun did not dare to object and nodded in agreement: "I'll do it later."

After hearing this, Meng Dongyuan softened his expression and said warmly: "Madam, our family is marrying the right person by marrying you as our daughter-in-law. Other couples will go their separate ways when disaster strikes, but Madam generously donates money to tide over the difficulties."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun felt very relieved. Her husband still loved her, understood her efforts and her kindness. She glared at Meng Dongyuan and said coquettishly: "Then husband, please be nicer to me in the future."

Meng Dongyuan asked back: "When did I treat you badly? Why don't I rely on you?"

Mrs. Sun thought about it and felt the same. Even if her husband took concubines, those concubines had never passed her. Except for the unlucky maid who gave birth to a concubine, after she gave birth to Chengxing, no other woman was allowed to get pregnant.
