A Blessed Wife At Home Chapter 8: Counting the dowry


Another example is "How many fabrics should be used for clothes in all seasons"? In fact, it is either cheesecloth or Gebu. Not to mention the latest and finest brocade, there is not even a piece of ordinary silk and satin.

This is it, but it is packed in several large boxes and divided into four dowry boxes...

As for "How much silver is there in the bottom of the box?" Qiao Xuan finally found a pitiful dozen taels of silver.

Of course, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the daughter of a county magistrate is still much better off than a peasant girl.

These things are tantamount to bullying and humiliation in the eyes of a real county magistrate's daughter, but for Qiao Xuan, she feels that she has earned something despite being worthless.

Just talking about those ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money for the farmer!

Mrs. Qiao's humiliation may have been a fatal blow to the original owner, but to her, it was nothing.

Compared to being completely poor, her starting point is not bad. If she wants money, she will earn it herself.

In the future, it will be a pleasure to be slapped hard in the face and returned!

After packing it up, Qiao Xuan generously took out all the cloth and distributed it to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Xu, specially dedicating it to cutting clothes for everyone in the family.

These fabrics are nothing in her eyes, but they are very good things in the farmhouse.

Fang and Xu were both shocked and couldn't believe it.

Ms. Fang was still a little hesitant. She was a little hesitant about wanting to do it, for fear that others would say that she was coveting her daughter-in-law's dowry.

You must know that when the daughter-in-law's dowry was brought in yesterday, she heard a lot of harsh words, especially from the two siblings in the second and third bedrooms.

Qiao Xuan observed the words, her eyes were clear and she said with a smile: "This is just my daughter-in-law's thoughts. Mom, if you see your daughter-in-law outside, how can your daughter-in-law feel well? We are all members of the same family, and we should be intimate with each other. It’s good, don’t you think?”

Ms. Fang then laughed and accepted it, and couldn't help but said: "This dowry is the most important thing in a woman's family. You, please keep your own things well and don't waste it. This is going on. The days to come are still long!”

Qiao Xuan felt warm in her heart, and she was really moved. She nodded and smiled: "I have remembered your mother's teachings!"

She took out two pairs of very bright silk flowers and gave them to her sister-in-law Shao Taotao and her three-year-old niece Shao Qing.

From her point of view, the workmanship of this silk flower seemed a bit rough, but it also cost twenty-five cents a pair. Who in the countryside would be willing to buy it easily?

Ms. Xu was very happy and thanked Shao Qing; Shao Taotao also liked it very much, blushed and shyly thanked her, and happily inserted it into her head, which received many compliments from several women.

Qiao Xuan felt a little guilty because she had hidden some thoughts when sending fabrics and silk flowers. Now she was even more enthusiastic when talking about nice things and praising her. The women laughed together and everyone was happy.

She actually gave the things with the intention of testing her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. If she was greedy, then she would have an idea.

But I don’t want to, it’s not like that.

Even if my sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, is a bit thoughtful, that is human nature.

Qiao Xuan was completely relieved.

But she didn't know that Mrs. Xu was feeling a little guilty at the moment.

As soon as the fifth younger sister came in, it was obvious that she was outclassed in every aspect, and she felt resentful and sullen in her heart. Seeing her fawning over her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu cursed many times in her heart, "Shameless!"

Who would have thought that the fifth younger brother and sister would be so generous and give her so much fabric, two of which were very thick, and they could make cotton-padded clothes by sewing the cotton in winter. She also gave Shao Qing such beautiful silk flowers.

She felt that she was so undeserving!
