Chapter 397 No money and not short of money 17

Mrs. He said: "It's like this. Two days ago, the Jin family, who has dealings with our fifth daughter-in-law's natal family, sent someone to say that they wanted to marry our eldest daughter. The other party said that as long as our family is willing, in addition to the betrothal gift, , I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of support to our family. Then we will use the money to buy a thousand acres of fields. With the income from these fields, the family's tight expenses can be eased. What do you think?"

Although Mrs. He Wu is very rich, Mrs. He occasionally collects her wool. However, Mrs. He Wu is a treasury left for her youngest son who has no title or official position. She cannot collect too much. There are too many, so Mrs. He has no choice but to find other sources of income. No, seeing that the Jin family is willing to pay so much money to marry Miss He, Mrs. He is naturally willing.

This Miss He is one year older than her original daughter. She is fourteen years old this year. She is the daughter of the second wife, who is a concubine. Mrs. He sold the second daughter, and the money she got was given to the entire house. She doesn't feel bad at all, after all, if a girl like the second girl or the third girl sells her son, she would not be willing to use the money to supplement the entire household expenses.

Since the Jin family has contacts with Mrs. He Wu's natal family, it is naturally a merchant's family. That's right. Except for some powerful families, how can ordinary families get so much money to spread around? And powerful families also He would not marry a girl from the He family who was a concubine.

The reason why Mrs. He asked Mr. He this question was to prevent her from using the 10,000 taels of grace money for her father-in-law in the future. The second bedroom, as well as the second bedroom's aunt, all jumped out and said no, so Mrs. He Naturally, she had to ask Mr. He for his opinion first. Once she got the "imperial edict" from Mr. He, she would be able to act according to his orders, and she wouldn't have to worry about trouble with her second wife.

Mr. He, like his eldest son Zhongyong Bo Shizi, is a little outspoken, so he has not noticed the twists and turns in Mrs. He's heart. When he heard that the Jin family was willing to give 10,000 taels of support, such a large amount of money was almost It is the annual income of the He family. How can anyone be unwilling to do so? Some people may think that marrying a merchant is a bargain, but the He family is already very poor and cannot make ends meet, so they can't take care of that much. Besides, she is not the eldest daughter of the first wife. She was just the second daughter of a concubine, so her face would not be affected too much, so she casually asked how the Jin family was. After learning that the Jin family was pretty good, she agreed.

Seeing that Mr. He agreed, Mrs. He couldn't help but feel happy knowing that he didn't notice her twists and turns, and immediately started to operate.

But An Ran knew that if Mrs. He acted like this, the second wife would definitely cause trouble. After all, Mr. He is not as good at gambling as Mr. He. He is a rare person among concubines who is down-to-earth and willing to work. Mrs. He, in particular, is a very realistic person. Unlike the original person who likes to pretend to be generous to save face, even in a family like the He family, he managed to survive with some money - this is the answer An Ran has scanned these days - that is to say, the second house is not a good one. You fool, you sold someone else's daughter for ten thousand taels, and then used it in the public house. If you don't give it to someone else, it's strange that they won't make trouble.

Sure enough, just as An Ran thought, when she heard that Mrs. He had betrothed her daughter to the Jin family, Mrs. He felt that there must be something she didn't know, so she went to inquire about it.

The Jin family would definitely not conceal this matter, especially from their future mother-in-law. After all, even if they concealed it, their daughter-in-law would know about it sooner or later if she married in. So as soon as Mrs. He asked about it, she naturally found out about the situation.

As soon as she heard that the 10,000 taels given to her by the Jin family had all gone into Mrs. He's pocket, and her family didn't get a penny, Mrs. He naturally started to make a fuss.

She knew that quarreling with Mrs. He would not make her famous, and she might even accuse others of being filial and disobedient, so Mrs. He went to quarrel with Mrs. He.

"Father-in-law, how can there be such a reason? You sold our daughter and handed over ten thousand taels to the father-in-law. This is a favor for us as parents. Of course, even if we get these ten thousand taels, we won't get all the money." If we take it, we will be filial to you, father-in-law. However, if my mother-in-law takes all the money, it will make no sense. Father-in-law, please make the decision for us, so as not to make people in Beijing laugh at my mother-in-law for selling her granddaughter to make money. , treat the bastard harshly."

Mr. He was a little embarrassed by Mrs. He's interrogation. Then he saw Mr. He's biological mother, Aunt Mo, wiping her tears pitifully on the side. He immediately understood that he had been fooled by Mrs. He, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Over the years, Mrs. He had fooled him many times and made him angry every time. However, every time she questioned her, she said innocently that she had already asked him and he agreed. Even if he wanted to scold her, he couldn't find a reason.

Although he couldn't find a reason, Mr. He knew that he had been fooled, and he was still very unhappy. It was just hard to get angry.

After hearing Mrs. He's words and looking at Aunt Mo wiping her tears, Mr. He, who understood the twists and turns, immediately said: "I will mention it to your mother-in-law and see what she says."

Mrs. He Er said: "Everything will have to be done, father-in-law."

She didn't expect Mr. He to get all the money back, but at least, it was better to get a little bit back than not getting even one tael now.

As soon as she heard that Mrs. He was looking for her angrily, and heard her close confidant say that Mrs. He's "mother-in-law" had been looking for him before Mrs. He came, Mrs. He knew what he was here for. However, before Mrs. He came, Before saying anything, Mrs. He still pretended not to know and said, "What's wrong, you're so angry?"

Mr. He had seen Mrs. He pretending to be innocent so many times that he no longer felt that he was making a fuss like the first time. Instead, he said directly: "Only half of the support money received from the Jin family will be put into the father's house." If you give the other half to the second son's family, it is originally the Jin family's support fund for the second son and his wife. It's already embarrassing for us to take half of it, but it's a bit outrageous to take it all."

He didn't question Mrs. He as to how she could say this to the second family. After all, he agreed to it. When he asked, the old lady was afraid that she would use her own words to excuse her, so he just said Order, in this way, she would not dare to confront him directly, so it would be better.

After hearing what Mrs. He said, Mrs. He couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but she still said with surprise on her face: "What do you mean we take half, I didn't take anything. I put it in the public house for the sake of the public. As for Mr. The second family, the betrothal gift will be given to them when the time comes. If they have no money, they can deduct part of it from the betrothal gift."
