Lucky husband

Chapter 308 The Qu Family's Dowry

While Bai Yao was recuperating, Village Chief Bai quickly found out the culprit - Widow Sun.

Widow Sun went too far this time. When she damaged the reputations of Li Mingde and Bai Ting, she also damaged Bai Zhiwen's reputation.

Therefore, she single-handedly bore all the anger of the Li family, village chief Bai, and the elders of the Bai clan.

At first, Village Chief Bai and the elders of the same clan thought that otherwise, Widow Sun would be expelled from Shanghe Village as an example, but they also thought that such a punishment seemed a bit too severe.

The household registration of Widow Sun and her family is in Shanghe Village. If they are driven out, they will either have to spend a lot of money to buy another household registration somewhere, or they will have to be black households without household registration.

The people in Shanghe Village are generally simple, and they didn't want to force people to the point where they were homeless, so they gave up this idea.

But there must be a lesson to be taught, so Village Chief Bai and the others decided to criticize Widow Sun in front of the whole village and ask her to apologize to the Bai Yao family and the Li family. If she is unwilling, she will either wait to be expelled from the village , or wait for the scholars of the Bai family or the Li family to sue Widow Sun's son in court, and the son will suffer for the mother.

The reputation of Mr. Xiucai is not something that can be slandered by any cat or dog. If it is really calculated, it can be counted as a crime!

To be honest, Widow Sun was a little frightened. She just couldn't bear to see Mrs. Li's triumphant appearance all day long, and she just said a few nonsense. How could it be so serious that she would be expelled from the village or sued to the county government? degree.

Being expelled from Shanghe Village, it is almost impossible for the three of them to find a village that can accept them. How will they live in the future? Or her son will be sent to the county government prison, and Widow Sun will not be able to survive. In this way, she will be killed by a headshot.

Indeed, Widow Sun immediately planned to imitate Bai Yao's bumping into a pillar after hearing what Village Chief Bai said. The person was pulled down and watched strictly, so that she had no chance to seek death or life.

Widow Sun, who had lost her chance, had no choice but to compromise and chose to be criticized in full view and apologize with her nose pinched.

That's not to mention, the most annoying thing is that Sun Wangcai, the widow's son, asked his mother to apologize immediately after hearing about it, so as not to implicate him, he had no intention of suffering for his mother at all.

Widow Sun can't get angry with her sweetheart, Pimple, and she knows her son's virtues, so she won't be angry with him because of such things.

It would be sooner rather than later to clarify the rumors. After Widow Sun agreed, Village Chief Bai immediately notified the whole village to gather under the big locust tree in the center of the village to tell everyone what was going on and return the two scholars to their innocence.

After all the people in the village were gathered, Village Chief Bai said aloud the manuscript he had already typed: "The purpose of calling everyone here today is very simple, just to tell the big guys about some false rumors in the village recently..."

Widow Sun had just thought of these words and hadn't had time to spread them out. Few people had heard of her and believed her. After hearing what she said that day, everyone didn't take it seriously.

However, after listening to Village Chief Bai's solemn explanation today, all the villagers took it seriously.

"Who in your family has not been well received by Bai Xiucai and Li Xiucai, especially the daughters-in-law who married in from other villages, don't say that Xiucai is from another family and has nothing to do with you. Think about it carefully when you return to your mother's house. Didn't he ask you about the two scholars? Did he value you more than before?"

"There are also boys and daughters at home who want to talk about marriage. After two scholars came out in our village at one time, are there more people who are willing to marry daughters and marry daughters in our village? Why do others do that? , do you think how big your face is because of the faces of our village Bai Xiucai and Li Xiucai!"

"One by one, you get the benefits of the two scholars and don't do business. If you have nothing to do, gossip about your tongue and spread the reputation of the two scholars in our village. What can you do? You will only be laughed at by others. Unclear idiot."

……

Village head Bai was really angry. All day long, he was thinking about how to make the life of the villagers better. Why are these mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law keeping behind?

If you ask him to say that if the women in the family are disobedient, it means that the man is not up to the task, what can he do if his own daughter-in-law can't manage it well, of course, the widow grandson's dead man is another matter.

Following Village Chief Bai's heartbroken and eloquent speeches, everyone gradually recovered, especially those daughters-in-law and mother-in-law who had heard Widow Sun speak.

Isn't that the reason, look at what they did before, some words don't seem to make sense when you hear them, but think about it carefully, if these words are spread, what will others think?

After Village Chief Bai had finished his education, he singled out Widow Sun, told everyone the results of his discussions with clan elders and village elders, and explained why.

Don't look at her just apologizing to the two scholars Li and Bai lightly this time, if there is another time, she will be expelled from the village immediately!

Apologizing is not painful to some people, especially some thick-skinned people, but it is different to be expelled from the village. It is a real punishment, and there will not be one or two in decades. When people meet, they will be ashamed and thrown in front of their ancestors with the same surname.

After this incident, everyone in the village became tense, especially the young daughters-in-law who liked to get together and talk bitterly about Bai Ting. Their in-laws directly warned them that if they talked nonsense again and were found out, they would immediately go back to their natal homes.

As a result, the atmosphere in the village suddenly became much more harmonious. When everyone met, there was no tit-for-tat, no taunting and insulting, and all the conflicts they had had were temporarily put aside, and they changed into a look of hello, me, and everyone.

It was in such an atmosphere that Liming Li's wedding banquet arrived, and Li's family's Shanghe Village was the home venue, and all relatives and friends of Li's family, as well as some people from Qu's family, were invited to come.

The distance is far away, and it's not a decent thing. Shopkeeper Qu didn't invite many people. He invited his elder brother and a few brothers with better relationships. Except for his wife and married eldest daughter, everyone else came over. It's a man who supports the second daughter.

The Qu family is a big family, even if it is a side branch, as long as they are not idlers, each of them can find a job to do. For example, shopkeeper Qu went to Zhoucheng to manage the family's shop, which made them all at this age. Have a career.

Therefore, everyone from the Qu family to Shanghe Village has an extraordinary aura, and they don't look like ordinary people.

In addition to the fact that the bride's natal family caused heated discussions among the villagers of Shanghe Village, when Qu Jingshu's dowry was delivered to Li's family, it also caused a sensation in the entire Shanghe Village.

Before, the villagers probably knew that Li Mingli was betrothed to a young lady in Zhoucheng. They didn't know who the young lady was, and Li's family didn't say anything in detail.

So when everyone saw that the betrothal gift Li Chengzhi and the others had prepared for Li Mingli was the same as Li Mingde's, they didn't take the word "Miss" seriously, they just thought it was Li's bragging.

You must know that if Li Mingli really wanted to marry a rich lady, he would only prepare a dowry gift of 30 taels of silver. It would be strange if the woman's family didn't kick them out.

Besides, the Li family has just produced a scholar and earned some more money. It is very prominent and beautiful in the village, but it is the same in the county. Is the second son of their family going to marry a lady from a rich family? If you want to marry into a rich family, who can tell clearly.

When the dowry was delivered to Shanghe Village, everyone who had maliciously speculated was slapped in the face, and the dowry sent by the Qu family dazzled everyone.

First of all, there is a whole dowry of mud. One piece of mud represents one mu of land. This dowry is densely packed with countless pieces of mud. The more you count, the more confused your mind becomes. Finally, the singer read out—— A total of one hundred acres of land.

Then there are several sets of clothes and materials, all kinds of clothes, coats and inner clothes.

Then there are cages, bedding, and several sets.

Then there are some supplies from my daughter's house. In addition to a few sets of exquisite jewelry, there are also bronze mirrors on the dressing table, rouge, light powder, screw caps, and lip balm.

Then there are some decorations to decorate the house, full of two sets.

Then there is a big guy, the most attention-getting one is a beautifully carved Babu bed.

The style of this bed is too exquisite. Most people in the village have only heard that such a bed is used by big families, but they have never seen it before, and they have seen it for a while.

Behind the bed there was a dowry at the bottom of the box, but the performer didn't read it. Everyone speculated that it might be the money that the Qu family had prepared for their daughter.

Such a generous dowry has never been heard of or seen by everyone, and they all looked straight at it without blinking.

There are a total of twelve dowries, neatly arranged in the courtyard of Li's family, just like this for everyone to see, for a while, no one is even curious about what the bride in the sedan chair looks like.

According to the rules of Shanghe Village, the bride should enter the door first, and then move the dowry, but the Qu family has a lot of dowry, and they are worried that it will delay the auspicious time when carrying the dowry into Li's house, so they put it away first. The dowry is brought into the house, and the sedan chair to send the bride waits outside for a while, and will be sent in when the auspicious time comes.

In fact, the Qu family wanted to prepare some other furniture to make up sixteen sets of dowry, but thinking that the old house of the Li family in the village could not accommodate so many things, and the house the Li family bought in the county was not that big, and the daughter I spend less time here with my son-in-law.

So, in the end, the Qu family decided to send only one bed, and make the bed beautiful enough to support the scene. After the young couple get married and move to the house in Zhoucheng, they will send their daughter some things that she is used to at home. .
