Chapter 9794 Don't compare blindly
"Hey, even if I prepared the wedding money for Mr. Kang, I prepared it, and I don't know what the other party wants, so I feel a little weak after all!" Ms. Liu said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Then you should refer to other people's standards!"
Ms. Liu said: "If Ju'er, the third girl, Mianmian get married, and the bride price given by the man is used as a reference, then I really can't afford to marry this daughter-in-law!"
Yang Ruoqing gave Mrs. Liu a direct look: "Fourth Aunt, I asked you to find someone for reference. I asked you to find other families in the village who have raised sons for reference. Who asked you to find a reference for the marriage methods of several girls in the family?"
"Can the conditions of your fourth bedroom be comparable to those of Liu Xueyun and Ye Yi?"
"Liu Xueyun bought a large courtyard with two entrances in Canle County. Ye Yi not only bought a courtyard in Wanghai County, but also gave all the salary he had gained from fighting in the north and south over the years to Mianmian. How can your four houses be used?
Can you do it?”
"Also, Third Girl, Mian Mian's dowry is also frighteningly rich. On my mother's side, our uncles and cousins, as well as my cousin, have all added to their dowry..."
"You are just comparing blindly! You will be scared to death by comparing blindly!"
Ms. Liu smiled awkwardly, "Hey, I won't make any comparisons. If this matter is compared to the few families in the village who have gotten married in the past two years, four taels of silver would be enough. More than ten years ago, two taels would be enough."
It’s just money, it’s gone up a bit in recent years.”
"By this year, four taels of silver will be enough, including the banquet."
"Fourth Aunt, the old Yang family spent four taels of silver to go to the matchmaker to marry her. This matter spread out and ruined the whole old Yang family's reputation."
When Yang Ruoqing heard Liu's budget, she was a little surprised. Apart from being surprised, she also felt that she was being superficial. This should be expected.
Because this is in line with Liu's style.
"Then five taels!" Mrs. Liu looked like she was constipated.
Yang Ruoqing looked at Mrs. Liu and was speechless.
Mrs. Liu laughed along and said, "Well, even if I increase her betrothal gift to one hundred two thousand taels, her natal father is gone, her mother has died long ago, and her brother is so young, who will give the betrothal gift? Then her uncle will give her the betrothal gift.
Auntie, or maybe her aunt and uncle were deceived, it’s not a big loss!”
Yang Ruoqing sighed, "Fourth Aunt, you really don't know how to settle accounts. In a situation like Liu Jinchuan's, if you give a larger gift, she will keep it by herself and take it back to your fourth house as a dowry. What do you mean?
, have you earned both lizi and face?"
Mrs. Liu suddenly stopped talking and stood there with her mouth wide open and her eyes stopped moving. Her whole body seemed to have been tapped.
Yang Ruoqing knew that her mind must be spinning very fast at this moment, and there was an abacus pounding in her heart.
Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Liu finished her calculations and said to Yang Ruoqing: "This is a good move, this is a wonderful move. That's okay. I'll pay you six taels of silver to hire him. I want to support this kid Jin Chuan!"
"Why not ten taels of silver?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
She knew that the Liu family had saved far more than six taels of silver, and a conservative estimate of thirty taels of silver was at the bottom.
Ms. Liu shook her head without even thinking about it: "Six taels is enough, but any more won't work. What if something goes wrong in the middle and the money can't be returned?"
"Besides, I still have to save my head and build a new house next year. I talk about building it every year, but every year I fail. Now that Kang Xiaozi's marriage is settled, will I be able to think about building a house next year?
!You have to keep the big money!”
Yang Ruoqing also expressed her understanding of Liu's plans on this matter.
If my son’s marriage is not settled, what will happen even if the house is built magnificently?
When people pass by and look inside, they see the old couple eating face to face. The younger son Tiedan is still studying and the eldest son Kang Xiaozi is still a bachelor. Even though the three daughters together gave birth to three grandchildren.
But the grandson is someone else’s grandson, not his own, so he can’t be counted.
People will still say that with such a nice big yard, there is no one at home...
How unpleasant to hear!
Therefore, only when Kang Xiaozi gets married and is waiting to have a grandson, and his fourth uncle and his fourth aunt build a new house, can he really put it on the agenda and put it into action.
As for the betrothal gift that the fourth aunt said was only six taels of silver, Yang Ruoqing said nothing more.
Because today, Kang Xiaozi left Liu Jinchuan in the middle and ran back to town. Actually, it was because he saw Liu Jinchuan that he made up his mind to get married, so he ran back to town to collect the private money he had earned from selling vegetables and fruits in the past few years.
…
Most of the money he earned over the years was handed over to Mrs. Liu. In fact, with Mrs. Liu's permission, he also kept a little for pocket money.
In addition to the New Year's money given to him by his elders during the New Year and festivals, and the money given to him by his second and third sisters, Kang Xiaozi took out a small purse and showed it to Yang Ruoqing today. He actually saved nearly five taels of silver in the small purse.
So Kang Xiaozi previously sent the five taels of silver to Yang Ruoqing, hoping that Yang Ruoqing would help him discuss marriage and employment.
But Yang Ruoqing told him not to be in a hurry to take out the private money. His parents had already prepared the money for him to get married.
Besides, half of the money he prepared was handed over by himself.
So first focus on the preparations made by your parents. If it is not enough, then use your own private money to supplement it.

If you have enough, then continue to save, because whether it is during the marriage negotiation process or life after marriage, there will be a lot of expenses.
You can't take Liu Jinchuan to buy some new clothes or something when the time comes, and you have to go to my mother Liu to ask for money, right?
Once or twice is enough, but if you do it more often, with Liu's temperament, you shouldn't be anxious or make a fuss.
Soon, Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian both carried Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan to the backyard dining hall to prepare for dinner.
Tuantuan was also holding a drinking bottle in his hand, biting the bottle and drinking.
Yuanyuan is playing with a small windmill in her hand.
The two little guys probably had enough to eat at their grandma's house at noon, so they were not interested in the food on the table at this moment.
But Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian were interested, especially Blacksmith Luo, whose eyes lit up when he saw dried prunes and vegetables stuffed with meat.
"I drank two cups of wine just for the pickles and pickles," he said.
Wang Cuilian teased him: "You can drink both bran and peanuts."
"You obviously drank a lot of wine at Laosan's place at noon, and you still drink at night. Aren't you afraid of hurting your body?"
Blacksmith Luo chuckled, "It's getting cold, drink some wine to keep your hands and feet warm, so you can sleep better at night!"
Wang Cuilian shook her head: "Then you have to drink hot wine. Drinking cold wine and hiding it in the stomach will absorb the heat from the internal organs, making the body prone to illness."
Yang Ruoqing understood what Wang Cuilian wanted to express, but this way of saying it was rather crude.
