Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 130: Chapter 118

Shen Chengyao didn’t dare to agree. Once he did, who knew what else they’d demand in the future!

But the Shen Chengyao now was not the Shen Chengyao of the past. Before, he either would refuse directly or reluctantly agreed.

But now, both he and his wife studied every night with their three children!

He recalled Xiao’er’s advice about deferring decisions and non-committal responses. He felt it was perfect for the current situation!

So, he said: "You are the only sister of my third brother, your dowry will not be neglected."

But if your demands are too high, I can’t fulfill them. Then I can only meet my own standards!

Both Mrs. Shen and Shen Yuzhu were satisfied when they heard this. They thought Shen Chengyao had agreed!

Brother’s house indeed has silver! He immediately agreed! It seems that next time we can demand more! This time was still less! What else should we ask for? Shen Yuzhu started mulling over it.

Mrs. Liu thought of Xiao’er’s idea to evade, so she said, "My dear, there are still some guests at home who haven’t left yet. We can’t leave our guests for too long, right? Otherwise, others will say we are rude!"

Shen Chengyao also remembered Xiao’er’s advice. He nodded and said, "Dad, mom, we will go home first!"

Finished speaking, he turned around, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Master Shen hurriedly stopped him: "Third son, the house is ready, I want to find a good day to move in."

"That’s good news, dad, mom. Move in whenever you want." The furniture for Mr. Shen’s room in that house had already been prepared.

The furniture for the living room had also been ready, and the stuff for Shen Yuzhu’s room was also ready. He didn’t arrange for the other facilities in the east wing.

"We rely on your older brother’s family for our meals, so your older brother’s family should also move in. They should live in the east wing."

"If my brother wants to move, let him move! There are enough rooms in that house. The house where my elder brother lives now can also be given to my second brother!" He didn’t object.

"However, there’s no single piece of furniture in the east wing. I want to ask when you guys will deliver it, did you forget?"

Mrs. Liu didn’t feel good when she heard this.

When she cooperated with her own family, there were countless objections! Everyone could say unpleasant words!

But to the main family, they couldn’t wait to give them everything from their home!

"Dad, mom, that house is a gift to you both, and I have also prepared Yuzhu’s share. The things that should be prepared and the things that shouldn’t be prepared, I have all taken into account." As for the rest, he couldn’t manage too much anymore.

The expression on Master Shen’s face was stiff. This meant that he was not going to furnish the furniture used by his eldest son and grandson.

"Third son, your family owns a furniture store, a couple of suites are not worth much money, your eldest brother has a hard time supporting Wen’er’s studies, and the grocery business is not good either. You have spare silver, help your elder brother get it. Later, when Wen’er becomes an official, he can also remember the favor of his uncle, then..."

"Dad!" Shen Chengyao couldn’t help interrupting his father. "One or two sets of furniture may not be worth much silver in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are all the hard-earned money from my children and their mother!"

"The silver in my house is not picked up from the street, I have three children who need to go to school! Three daughters to prepare dowries for! The dowries for the three daughters have been prepared since their birth. This is something I dare not think about, but it is necessary to start." Shen Chengyao paused and then continued.

"I am not expecting Wen’er to remember my goodness!"

"What dowry are you preparing for those useless girls! If you can get rid of them with one or two silver, that would be good! Giving birth to a bunch of unprofitable girls! And yet you dare to mention dowry!" Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied when she heard this!

Preparing dowries for those three profitless girls, wasn’t that sending the silver of her Shen family to outsiders! That was unacceptable!

"We can prepare dowries for our own little sister-in-law, why can’t we prepare dowries for our own daughters! Is the sister-in-law more cherished than the daughter! This makes no sense! Even the government can’t reason it!" Mrs. Liu felt her anger surge when she heard these words; it was irresistible!

"Rebellious! Daring to talk to me like this! Third son, divorce her! She has no respect for her elders!" Mrs. Shen was so mad that she tossed a sewing basket at her!

"Dad, mom, that house is a gift from us to you, as long as the things you use are not lacking, and it’s fine. As for other people who wish to live there, they can temporarily, but they have hands and feet. I am neither their father nor their son, and it’s not my turn to worry about whether their rooms have furniture. If there’s nothing else, we’re going back home!"

As the couple’s children said, their gift of gratitude is to their grandparents, as long as the grandparents’ utilities are not lacking, it’s enough!

As for other people who want to move in to live together, it is not impossible, but you need to prepare everything needed for life yourself!

"Third son, won’t you manage your wife?" Mrs. Shen glared at Mrs. Liu, who had avoided the sewing basket, and was even more annoyed!

"I’ll take her home and teach her a lesson. Dad, mom, we’ll leave first." Shen Chengyao quickly pulled Mrs. Liu away. It was better to leave!

If they can’t afford to provoke, they could at least afford to hide!

When Mrs. Liu returned to the backyard, Mrs. Liu Lin and Mrs. Tan hadn’t left yet. Mrs. Liu informed her mother and aunt about what happened in the upper room.

Mrs. Liu Lin shook her head, "Such a large dowry, how could they make such a request?" Even the landlord’s daughter wouldn’t have such a big dowry!

Mrs. Tan laughed as if she heard a great joke, "Your sister-in-law isn’t sick, is she? Even a lion’s mouth is smaller than hers!"

Xiao’er chuckled quietly when she heard this. Her aunt’s straight talk was totally to her taste, and listening to it was joyful!

"What are you saying, it’s not good if the son-in-law overhears!" Mrs. Liu Lin looked around.

Familiarity breeds contempt. Regardless of how bad her sister was, it was not appropriate for others to say anything about it.

"I’ve never heard of such a shameless thing, I just got a little excited! I have truly been enlightened! I wonder what kind of species she’s from!" This time she was clever and didn’t specifically say who it was!

Puff! Xiao’er laughed out loud!

"Our three daughters are not useless at all! They are literally wealth gatherers! Her daughter is really unprofitable! A guaranteed money loser! Tester!" Mrs. Tan continued to spray!

"Your father-in-law, really can’t figure it out." Given the good fortune, why can’t he enjoy it? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and sometimes doing things too partial is not actually helping! It will only affect the brotherhood between the two brothers!

"Confused? He only has the main family’s eldest son and grandson in his eyes! He’s so prejudiced that it has gone too far! I wish he could give all the things in our house to his eldest son!"

"I estimate he is secretly resenting why the prosperity didn’t happen to his eldest son!"

Mrs. Tan finally learned the truth. Master Shen was indeed considering what it would be like if the main family was as prosperous as the third branch.

"Don’t agree to this matter, you can’t feed these people, they are insatiable from time to time! Waiting for their appetite to be fattened up in the future! Even if they have all the family property, it won’t be enough!"

Xiao’er agreed with Mrs. Tan!

"How is that possible? They want to give how much they want, and the silver in my family is not picked up for nothing!"
