Chapter 91 When will the dowry be given?
Yi'er may have learned less during the time she came to the Xue family, but the matter of protecting her sister first has been brainwashed by the seven brothers of the Xue family.
In both the Xue family and the Chang family, younger sisters are a rare species. You need to be by your side at all times, and you can't let bad guys abduct you.
When Yi'er came out this morning, several brothers at home didn't forget to remind him again.
Now seeing the weird looks on the faces of these two people, the contempt and malice in their eyes, just like Guo Cheng back then, Yi'er suddenly shouted in disgust.
As soon as he spoke, the ten elite soldiers who were originally scattered around to guard him came over immediately.
"Master Yi'er, what happened?"
Mrs. Cao hurried over and said coldly, "What are you two looking at? Why don't you follow me in!"
This couple really don't know what to say.
She was used to bullying Yingying, but now she still dared to look at Long Baoer with that look.
Simply seeking death!
Yingying may only be protected by her, but if she bullies...let alone bullies, just makes Long Baoer unhappy, then they probably won't be able to stay in the capital any longer.
She could clearly see how favored Long Baoer was these days, and she was also well versed in the abilities of Xue Qingsong and Chang Chun.
This is completely different from the fun of the two children Long Baoer and Yingying.
This can be regarded as a disguised rescue of Cao Wei and his wife, but the two of them may not understand.
Seeing Mr. Cao scolding him, the two of them quickly followed.
"Yi'er, take care of Long Bao'er and don't leave the carriage." Ms. Cao said kindly.
Yingying is about to become her daughter, and Yi'er is said to have relented. It is estimated that the day when they will be named as husband and wife is not far away, and this is her son.
"Okay." Yi'er nodded.
Over there, Mrs. Cao took Yingying, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Cao Wei, and went in to find the official in charge of household registration and explained the matter.
This kind of procedure cannot be changed easily, and once it is changed, it will be a certainty, so the officials repeatedly asked and found out that the person who wanted to adopt the niece as a daughter was actually the second wife of the Chang family, and they were immediately in awe.
Cao Wei was somewhat disapproving and even a little angry.
How could he, a dignified sixth-grade official, be inferior to an idle person like his brother-in-law?
Sure enough, these officials were so flattering that they even supported the second-generation ancestors of high-ranking families.
The junior official ignored his expression and analyzed all the pros and cons of the matter towards Ms. Cao.
Mrs. Cao nodded, "I have thought of all these, thank you sir."
"Hey, no trouble, no trouble!"
Soon, the writing was written, and Mr. Cao took the lead in writing his name and fingerprinting it.
The document was pushed in front of Cao Wei.
Little Zhang thought of something else, "Sister, I will give you the child Yingying. When will we go over to count your dowry? I do have a list here, but I don't know..."
Cao Wei paused and looked at Cao.
The junior official next to him was stunned and looked at Cao Wei with some confusion.
These days, there are still people who want to give their sister a dowry? Later, when I thought about it, I realized that Mrs. Chang Er didn't seem to have a son or a half, so it's no wonder that her parents were worried about her.
However, it still feels disgusting.
Cao Wei noticed this look and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Cao Wei, who was extremely angry, was asked about such a thing by his wife face to face. How could he get off the stage and said, "Shut up!"
Little Zhang was startled, lowered her head and dared not speak.
Cao Wei looked at Mrs. Cao and said, "Sister, I will listen to your arrangement on this matter."
Although the words sounded nice, his eyes were fixed on Mr. Cao.
Cao Shiren sneered in his heart. If he didn't want it, he wouldn't have said that in the letter.
Siblings have been together for more than thirty years, and there is nothing Cao doesn't understand.
Want face and benefits?
You are so beautiful!
Ms. Cao raised her lips and said, "I know."
Cao Wei lowered his head with satisfaction, wrote his name, and pressed his fingerprints.
There were three copies, one for the official and one for each family. From then on, the Cao family no longer had this daughter, and the Chang family had a little girl.
Mrs. Cao was about to stand up when Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but speak again, "Sister, please also write down a document about the dowry."
This time Cao Wei was no longer reserved and looked at Cao with eager eyes.
Mrs. Cao sneered, "Why should I give you my dowry?"
"what?"
"Sister, isn't this what we agreed on?"
"Say yes? What did we say yes to you?" Ms. Cao asked.
"We agreed that Yingying will be yours, and half of the dowry will be ours!" Xiao Zhang said anxiously.
"Oh, that's it." Cao said slowly. "But aren't these the two things you said in your letter yesterday? The first thing is that you said that the family is in trouble, and Cao Wei's salary is only enough to feed and raise a decent son. You also said that I raised Yingying crookedly. The second thing, It means that I have no children, and the dowry will have to be returned to my mother's family in the future, so I might as well give you half of it first. Are these two things?"
"Yes, but..."
"You agree that it's just two things." Ms. Cao looked at her newly dyed nails yesterday and said casually, "I agreed to the first thing. Didn't I ask my servant to go to your house to notify you of your arrival. As for the second item..."
Cao Wei and Xiao Zhang looked at Ms. Cao eagerly, and Ms. Cao smiled, "I have a daughter now, so I don't have anyone on my knees, so of course my dowry will be left to my daughter. Is there anything wrong with this?" "
wrong!
Of course this is not right!
Didn't they give their daughter away for nothing and get nothing in return?
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang glared at Cao Wei angrily. If he hadn't scolded her just now, she would have had to make this matter clear before signing the document!
Cao Wei was also a little angry, "Sister, look at Yingying like this. She will be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future, but she will only need so much dowry!"
When his sister got married, his father was still there. In addition, she married into the Chang family, which was the Zhenyuan uncle's house, and the person she married was Chang Maoming, a well-known talented and handsome man in the capital.
If the dowry is too small, it will not look good.
Therefore, Mr. Cao only kept part of the betrothal gift sent by the Chang family that was not suitable to be sent back, and then added a lot more as a dowry, so that the Cao family could get married in glory.
Later, when Cao Wei and Xiao Zhang got married, the betrothal gift given was not as large as Cao's dowry.
Mrs. Cao even made a fuss with the old man about this, saying that her married daughter had thrown water, so why should she be given so many things?
He was scolded by Mr. Cao: That was the betrothal gift given to the girl by Chang's family. It's not enough for you to keep a few things. Could it be that you still want to withhold them all?
In fact, the betrothal gift given by Cao Wei when he got married was the standard that the Cao family should have.
It's just that Cao Wei and Xiao Zhang have always been unbalanced.
Now that Ms. Cao is gritting her teeth and saying no, how can the couple still sit still.
"No! You must spit out half of this dowry today!" Cao Wei shouted, tearing apart the mask of hypocrisy.
Another person came in at the door and spoke calmly.
"Who is so bold as to steal my wife's dowry, huh?"
