Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Cui wanted to ensure Chunhua's happiness. Seeing that Xiaoting's marriage was settled, she wanted to make Shengxuan spend a lot of money. "Third brother, although you were separated, you were not allowed to leave alone at that time. You were given land and a house. Let's not talk about these. I gave birth to you, raised you up with great difficulty, and married you off. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Now that Xiaoting's marriage is settled, I believe you have also prepared her dowry."

"Mom, Xiaoting got engaged first. She is still young, and the child's mother and I can't bear to let her go. It will take several years for her to get married. As for the dowry, we haven't prepared it for her yet. When we separated, my family didn't suffer from cold and hunger..."

"Grandma, when the family was divided, we were given a house and land, but was that house built by your family? Why do I remember that my grandpa and uncle built it? As for the land, was it a lot? Did only my family have it? At the beginning, they also said that my family would be given a year's ration, but I don't remember that my family was not given much. Besides, don't you have an idea of ​​how much my parents have contributed to the Sheng family? Why don't you tell me why our family was divided up and lived separately at that time?"

Sheng Xuan was kind and didn't want to talk about the sadness when they just separated and moved out. As for why her family separated and moved out, this has always been a thorn in Sheng Xuan and Zhang's hearts. In order to make money, the old Sheng family wanted to murder Xiao Lan and arrange a ghost marriage for the child. No matter how long it has been, the family will never forget this.

Old Master Sheng, Cui and Chunhua did not dare to look Xiaolan in the eye. They felt guilty. They had indeed done something unkind, which had damaged their virtue. Old Master Sheng could not help but think of Xiaoru, Wang and Pang Xiu'e. This was retribution.

Xiao Lan's words evoked the pain buried deep in Sheng Xuan and Zhang's hearts. He no longer had the joy of meeting his parents for the first time. Instead, he squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, "Dad, Mom, we haven't prepared Xiao Ting's dowry yet. We'll see what happens when the time comes."

The conversation was now going in the direction Cui was least willing to see. As long as Xiao Lan's experience was mentioned, Sheng Xuan would not listen no matter how many sweet words she said. This was all caused by Xiao Lan changing the subject just now. Xiao Lan was not a simple girl.

"Third brother, I just don't believe it. Your family didn't prepare a dowry for Xiaoting, but the Bao family rushed to your house to propose marriage. Who are you trying to fool? I won't ask for more from you. You have to prepare the same amount of dowry for Chunhua as you prepared for Xiaoting." Cui said it all out and then stared at Sheng Xuan.

"That's all I ask of you. Seeing that your family can live so well in this chaotic time, you must have made a lot of money. You won't be reluctant to give up this little bit of wealth, right?" Seeing that Sheng Xuan didn't answer his question, Cui added another sentence.

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes. She was getting to know Cui better and better. Just by seeing which way her butt was sticking out, she knew what kind of shit she was going to do.

Sheng Xuan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, completely stunned. When his family was separated, he didn't get a penny. The family's property was earned by Xiao Lan. Now that they have experienced war and chaos, the family has real estate such as land and houses, but there is not much money left. Although he is the head of the family, the actual financial power of the family has always been controlled by Xiao Lan. If he agrees to Cui's ridiculous request, Zhang will probably divorce him with the children.

Besides, Xiaowen wanted to study, and as long as he was willing to learn, their family would always support him. In this era, studying was very expensive. Moreover, as the children grew up, Xiaowen would need money to marry a wife, Xiaoting's dowry, and Xiaolan's dowry. All of these would cost a lot of money. Although Xiaolan could make money, she would never be willing to give the money to Chunhua.

Besides, in this era, there is no such thing as marrying off a daughter and the brother providing the dowry. He can add to the dowry, but now Cui asked him to provide the same dowry as Xiaoting, which was really too much.

Sheng Xuan said painfully, "Mom, you have prepared a lot of dowry for Chunhua over the years. When our family was separated, we didn't have a penny. Even her mother didn't leave a piece of jewelry for Xiaoting. When she was at home, Chunhua always had new clothes to wear, but Xiaoting could only wear the old clothes that her mother and I had altered..."

"The Bao family values ​​Xiao Ting because of her character, and it has nothing to do with the amount of dowry. Those families who covet a large dowry are not good relatives. Mother, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible."

When Cui heard Sheng Xuan's firm tone, she knew that he was rejecting her request.

Mr. Sheng came here to build relationships, and he didn't think of forcing Sheng Xuan to prepare a dowry for Chunhua. But when Cui learned that Xiaoting was engaged, she immediately panicked and wanted to take advantage of the third brother's family. The old man didn't want to make the scene too awkward, so he used his eyes to stop Cui from saying anything more. But Cui was completely humiliated and angry by Sheng Xuan's rejection, "You bastard, you are now following the money and kissing, you have no conscience."

"Mom, why are you begging him? His heart has long gone to who knows where. He no longer cares about our Sheng family. Let's go." Chunhua pouted, pulled Cui's sleeve, and was about to go out.

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes. This mother and daughter were so shameless. They came to her house to extort money and were still so arrogant.

Sheng Hao nodded apologetically to Sheng Xuan, then helped the old man out of the house.

Cui cried until she sat on the ox cart, and kept scolding Sheng Xuan for being heartless and a bastard. Chunhua persuaded Cui, but she also cried when she thought of her unhappy marriage.

"Mom, if you have some serious requests, I, as your son, have nothing to say. I don't want to say anything hurtful. Some things just need to be clear in our hearts. Let's forget about behavior like today in the future." Sheng Xuan stood next to the ox cart and said to Cui in the cart.

Old Master Sheng sighed. He knew that this trip today not only failed to establish a relationship with the third brother's family, but also messed things up.

Sheng Hao drove away in a bullock cart. Cui knew that she had completely lost her third son, who was honest, never played tricks, never said no to her, and always let her control him. She was crying so sadly because she had completely lost control of Sheng Xuan.

"Just work as hard as you can. Look what you have done to this family," complained Grandpa Sheng.
