Happiness System

After Pan'er went to the Qin family's clothing store, Qin Xiaoyun bought her an 80-square-meter tube-shaped building not far away.

She was not worried about Pan'er's safety after she moved out because she and Luo Erlin were about to get married.

Slavery still existed in the Republic of China, and now most servants were employed, but wealthy families were still willing to spend more money to buy out their servants.

On the eve of going abroad, Qin Xiaoyun saw through the ambiguity between Pan'er and Luo Erlin, but the two did not formally confirm their relationship.

Qin Xiaoyun did not try to bring them together, but only told Pan'er that if they still liked each other after she came back, she would give up her slavery and help them be together.

When Luo Erlin knew Pan'er had returned, he stopped going to work and rushed to the western-style building to cry to Pan'er about the end of their relationship.

Qin Xiaoyun naturally wanted to help them. The tube-shaped building was Pan'er's dowry, and also a way to thank her for her companionship over the years, completing the relationship between master and servant.

Qin Xiaoyun had no plans to hire a personal servant. She planned to let Liu Ma be responsible for the cleanliness of the room and the management of things.

From now on, the shopping chores can be left to Uncle Zhang, and we can just hire a servant to be in charge of the kitchen.

Aunt Liu introduced a fellow villager to the Chang family, and Chen Yuling also introduced a couple. Even if Qin Meiyi went out to work, the Chang family and four servants could take care of the house and the two children.

Fang Yulan has already bought the house next door from the Zou family. When they bought the house, they moved in without renovating it. They have lived there for five or six years. In addition, her four children are very naughty and the house is not well maintained, so they bought it with the intention of doing a major renovation.

Although Qin Xiaoyun gave the old car to Qin Qinghao, Fang Yulan still bought him an apartment near the university. It was not big, only about 100 square meters, and it used to be the house of a university professor.

Mr. Wang is also a young man from a large family. After studying abroad, he became a university teacher, but his belated rebellious period had arrived. Now that the rebellious period is over, Mr. Wang has returned home to inherit the family property.

The house had only been renovated two years ago, and the husband kept all the furniture and everything else. The layout was also very good, and there was no need for any changes. It was almost like moving in right away.

Fang Yulan is no longer short of money, so she installed telephones in her home and Qin Qinghao's house.

When Qin Qinghai was too busy with schoolwork to go home, it was very convenient for him to call home.

Before the end of the year, Fang Lixia couldn't wait to marry her sweetheart.

Fang Yulan had long been looking forward to her nephew getting married. When she heard Fang Lixia say that she wanted to get married, she immediately started making arrangements.

Unexpectedly, some accidents happened when proposing marriage.

They had already agreed on the wedding specifications and betrothal money with the matchmaker, but when they went to propose, the family immediately changed their mind after learning about Fang Yulan's identity. Not only did they increase the betrothal money several times, but they also required them to buy a shop for his youngest son to start a business, and to provide for the girl's parents in their old age.

Seeing that family making trouble, Fang Yulan's smile immediately fell, and she said to Fang Lixia: "If you still recognize me as your aunt, come with me immediately!"

After saying that, she stepped out. Fang Lixia glanced at her lover and followed her.

That family naturally wanted to stop them, but Fang Yulan wanted to make her nephew's wedding more dignified and lively, so she asked Qin Xiaoyun to borrow a lot of people. When they came to propose marriage, they were surrounded by people and carried a lot of things.

There was no way my younger brother and the other women would tolerate that family's mischief. After we stopped them, we immediately took away the things they had brought with us in the original condition.

Fang Yulan didn't say a word along the way and just asked the driver to drive the car back to her apartment.

After entering the house, she spoke: "Lixia, I don't agree with this marriage!"

"Although it is said that love can overcome all difficulties, if you like a girl, you should overcome all difficulties and marry her. However, marriage is not a matter between the two of you, but a matter between two families!"

"With a family like that, I will never agree to that girl no matter how good she is!"

"If you really want to marry me, then you can quit your job and start your own business or find another job. It's up to you. Although it hasn't been three years yet, your cousin has given you the house, so it's yours. We'll have less contact in the future!"

"It's true that I'm your aunt, but I'm also the mother of four children. I naturally have to think about them. I can't sow trouble for the future just because I'm soft-hearted and leave hidden dangers for the children!"

"You have seen the true character of that family. Do you think you can live a peaceful life after marriage?"

"Even if your cousin and the others are adopted, I still have to be on guard against their biological father because the family is in charge. That family... Oh, your aunt has only had two years of good life, she hasn't lived enough!"

Fang Lixia's head was still buzzing as she thought about what had just happened. When she heard her aunt looking like she was going to sever ties with him, she could only smile bitterly, "I know, aunt."

He also thought it was outrageous. Although his sweetheart's family conditions were not as good as his aunt's or his cousin's, they were not bad either. There were two shops at home. Although the business was not very prosperous, it was not bad either. There was no pressure at all to support the family.

When he was dating his sweetheart, he had heard her complain about the differential treatment at home. He didn't think there was a problem at the time. Whose family doesn't value male children nowadays?

Although the lovers' families did not like girls, they did not let them go hungry or suffer any abuse. There were servants at home, but they were not treated as maids.

The two elder sisters of my sweetheart also married into ordinary families, and they did not exchange their wealth for benefits or high dowries, so they can be considered to have a good family tradition.

Now that I have a clear mind, I feel that there are problems everywhere. Is it because you don't let your daughter work that you are afraid that she will be affected by the family business?

Moreover, there are maids working at home, and those who care about their reputation will not treat their daughters as maids. After all, they are just providing food and supporting them for a dozen years before marrying them off.

And when he was talking about marriage with his lover on the spot, she only told him to prepare according to the standards of his two sisters, and a little higher was fine.

She only talked about the betrothal gifts given by her brothers-in-law, but never said what dowry her sister brought. No matter how happy she was about the marriage, she never said what dowry her family would give.

His aunt was not stingy with him and paid him a high salary. At the end of the year, she would give him some dividends based on the shop's profits. To be honest, although he was not rich, the money was enough for his wife and children to live a good life.

So he didn't care whether his wife had a dowry or what kind of dowry she brought with her.

But now he felt uncomfortable all over. His sweetheart's family wanted to marry their daughter off to a wealthy family, but his two daughters could only read and write a few words and were ordinary-looking. His family was unwilling to give a dowry, so how could he find a good family?

His sweetheart’s appearance wasn’t actually considered beautiful, in fact, she was only slightly better than her sisters, but she had fair skin and two dimples when she smiled, which made her look sweet.

He was attracted by this sweet smile.

In fact, what his aunt said was right. Marrying her would indeed mean endless troubles.

Her family has three sons, but there are only two shops. If he pays for another shop, the three sons will each have a family business and a means of making a living.

The so-called wish that his daughters would split up and live with his youngest daughter in his old age is just to give his money to his three sons, right?

Fang Lixia felt bitter when she thought about this.

Fortunately, he was not a clingy person and he thought it through and made a decision quickly.

He asked someone to ask the girl out. In the corner of the dark alley, the shadow made him look dim and unclear.

"Brother Lixia, don't be angry. Give me some time. I will try to persuade my parents. Please don't abandon me, okay?"

Seeing the girl about to rush over to hug her, he raised his hand to stop her, “Tomorrow I will have the matchmaker come to your house to explain that this marriage is not appropriate.

I know very well that I cannot meet your family's requirements. I met you today just to make this relationship have a beginning and an end.

The clothes and jewelry I gave you before were worth several hundred dollars. Don't worry, I won't ask for those things back. Just consider it as compensation to you.

With those things as your dowry, you won't live worse than your sisters in the future."

The girl's face turned between blue and red. When she saw Fang Lixia was about to leave, she shouted at his back, "Fang Lixia, those things are just a drop in the bucket for your aunt's family. Don't you like me? Why do you..."

Fang Lixia turned around and looked at her with a sharp gaze, "So you have the same thoughts? It seems that you are no different from your greedy family. Then you should understand why I gave up on you!"

"Do you think you are a celestial being? Are you worthy enough for me to plot against my aunt's family property?"

He sneered and turned away without mercy. He claimed to be an old hand, but he was deceived by such a little girl.

Seeing that Fang Lixia had really left and didn't want her anymore, the girl fell to the ground with her whole body cold, and started crying in fear.

The person in the dark watched her crying silently for a long time, and left only after seeing her enter the house.

The next day, the matchmaker came to the door of that family. Although she didn't shout loudly, her words were not pleasant to hear. "They said that your family is too high-class. He is just a man from a small place trying to make a living. He can't marry into your family. Forget about the marriage!

Didn't you say that your daughter is pretty and will have no trouble finding a husband? Then it won't hinder your family from finding a son-in-law from a wealthy family!

I don’t want the things I gave to your daughter anymore. From now on, we’ll part ways and have nothing to do with each other’s marriage!

Okay, I've made it clear. I haven't done anything wrong to your daughter. Don't be so unsatisfied and try to make a fuss about asking for compensation. Your cousin is from the Qin family. She has all kinds of people under her.

Well, I have to go. There are many people out there who are looking down on you. I have to go back and see which of the unmarried girls I have is suitable. "

When the matchmaker left, she was still mumbling, "What an unlucky guy! Such a good family doesn't even like him!"

What a nice young man, tall and handsome, with his own yard at a young age. After getting married, he won't have to serve his parents-in-law and sister-in-law. The young man earns money and is not young, so he would not be satisfied with any good life.

You really don’t know how to appreciate what you have!

Why didn’t my daughter stay for two more years? Really, I don’t know which girl will get the chance?

I have to take good care of my relative’s daughter, so that she won’t be wasted on others…”
