Chapter 61 Dowry
After Mrs. Yu returned home, she was very angry. After Lin Sanqiang came back swaggeringly, he looked at Mrs. Yu frowning resentfully at home and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy again?"

Yu rolled her eyes and said: "Who else is there, of course it is Su Yunnian. I always have trouble with me. Back then, I wanted to know that she was of this virtue, and I would never let my second brother marry her."

Lin Zhu added fuel to the side and said: "That is, Xiang Huihui, who grew up with the second brother as a childhood sweetheart, is many times stronger than Su Yunnian. Third brother, you don't know, that woman is so big today. She didn’t even give mother a piece of meat, and let the villagers talk about mother.”

Lin Sanqiang smiled and comforted: "Mother, don't be angry. Don't care about people like Su Yunnian."

Yu went on to say: "Do I want to care about people like her? My heart hurts. The son who has been raised for so many years finally married such a bad wife."

Seeing Lin Sanqiang's grinning appearance, she was furious again: "Smile, smile, you know how to laugh, your mother is so angry, you can still laugh."

Lin Sanqiang said: "Mother, don't be angry. When I marry a wife, you can eat as much meat as you want. You can choose from delicacies from mountains and seas. I'm afraid you will get tired of eating delicious food."

When Yu Shi heard what Lin Sanqiang said, she felt a lot of joy: "Son, so, is it really settled for you to marry a wife?"

Lin Sanqiang said proudly: "Of course, the scholar brother came to meet me today. I'm not going out in advance to tidy myself up."

"Then you have to behave well. When the time comes, marry a rich daughter-in-law for your mother, who is obedient and sensible. Be virtuous and virtuous, don't be like a shrew like Su Yunnian."

Lin Zhu also echoed and said, "That's right, third brother. Let the new sister-in-law bring us some good things when the time comes, and make Su Yunnian angry at that shrew."

In this way, Lin Sanqiang went out early the next morning at the place he had agreed with Chen Dongli.

After leaving the village entrance, he saw a small carriage parked there. After the people inside opened the curtain, Lin Sanqiang hurried into the carriage.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Chen, what happened to the thing we agreed on last time?"

Chen Dongli said with a smile: "It's almost there. I'll help you find out. There is a young lady in the Liu family in the town who is still young and hasn't married yet."

Lin Sanqiang was very happy when he heard that, and felt that Chen Dongli was much more reliable than his blind second brother, and helped him find someone so quickly.

Then he asked: "Brother Chen, is the Liu family considered a wealthy family in the town?"

"Of course, Brother Lin, don't you know that although the Liu family is not as rich as Mr. Tang's family that day, it is one of the richest families in the town."

Seeing what Chen Dongli said, Lin Sanqiang seemed to think of something again, and asked again: "Brother Chen, what does Miss Liu look like?"

According to what Chen Dongli said, the Liu family has a great career, so why would they want to marry their good daughter to anyone?

Chen Dongli glanced at him with a smile: "The skin is like fat, and the appearance is like a fairy. The figure is also graceful and colorful."

When Lin Sanqiang heard what Chen Dongli said, he immediately burst into laughter, as if he had already seen the gate of Liu's mansion, and the servants had already started calling him uncle.

He struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Brother Chen, when can I meet this Miss Liu?"

Chen Dongli glanced at him, and then said lightly: "Now is not the time to be in a hurry, but the Liu family said that you have to be able to pay the betrothal gift that their family wants."

Lin Sanqiang nodded again and again, and said, "No problem, no problem. I have prepared a bride price."

Chen Dongli glanced at him, and an imperceptible sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Young Brother Lin, you should listen carefully, this Master Liu said that the bride price for their daughter's marriage must be dowry money, betrothal cakes, seafood, three animals, and a gold box. Inside, there should be betrothal gifts, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, and couplets. There should also be Sijing fruit, sesame, red beans, mung beans, sesame and other grains. In addition, incense cannon bracelets should be gold. , what Master Liu means is that he hopes that the firecrackers will resound for ten miles on the day of her daughter's wedding. The bracelet should be a gold bracelet that brings good luck to the dragon and the phoenix."

After talking about this, Lin Sanqiang was dumbfounded.

Before, he only thought about getting a dowry and giving a dowry to marry a daughter-in-law. He thought that the dowry that Mrs. Yu had prepared for him over the years was enough.Unexpectedly, the Liu family asked for the dowry, and the money the family had saved all their lives could only make up half of the dowry.

"Brother Chen, um, um, the Liu residence wants too much dowry."

Chen Dongli knew that Lin Sanqiang had to say that. In fact, he was not lying. Master Liu really said that. After all, the Liu family is not a small family. attention to this woman.And Mr. Liu also said that the dowry would be half of the husband's family.

But for someone like Lin Sanqiang who was used to living in the poor valley, he had never even heard of these betrothal gifts.

"Little Brother Lin, this is what Master Liu of the Liu Mansion said, and he also said that he took care of you and said that you want to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Thinking about your family's situation, I didn't say a lot. After all, I am a rich lady, brother. , even if they marry their daughters, your dowry must be justified."

Lin Sanqiang frowned, but thought that he would soon be able to marry Meijiao Niang, and become the door-to-door son-in-law of the Liu family.

He looked at Chen Dongli and then knelt down, Chen Dongli hurried to help him: "Little brother, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Lin Sanqiang said with a sad face: "Brother Chen, I beg you to help me. I know that the Liu family has already given me a lot of betrothal gifts, but I really can't give what Master Liu wants."

When Chen Dongli heard what Lin Sanqiang said, he also frowned, and then said, "Don't worry, little brother, or let's think of another way."

Lin Sanqiang raised his head suddenly: "Is there any other way?"

Chen Dongli helped Lin Sanqiang up and said, "Let me think about it."

As soon as Lin Sanqiang heard what Chen Dongli said, he knew that he must have some way, so he quickly took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Chen Dongli.

"Brother Chen, my younger brother only has so much money, please try to give my younger brother an idea so that I can form a marriage with Miss Liu."

Chen Dongli said with some embarrassment: "Little brother, I have an idea, but I really don't like it. I don't know if you can accept it."

As soon as Lin Sanqiang heard that Chen Dongli really had an idea, he didn't care about anything, and asked quickly: "Brother, tell me, no matter what the idea is, as long as it allows me to marry Miss Liu, I will accept it."
