Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

An Changle was so angry that she went to ask several cousins for an explanation, only to find that the food on their table was the same as theirs, except that the food on the men's table had some extra snacks.

My cousin's aunt said confidently, "Changle, I know you are the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but you are now the daughter of our Sixth Household. It's time for you to live the life of a humble family."

An Changle couldn't just confront him, "But the food was fine when I came to your house a while ago, why is it different today? Could it be because I refused to give the child anything? Such a young child wants this and that when he helps the elders with something, he has no rules at all. If this gets out, the Sixth House will be embarrassed."

My cousin's aunt was not afraid either. "If the elders are not kind, don't expect the younger generation to listen to you, not to mention that our children are not meant to be your maids."

An Changle's face turned blue and black. Who would want these little brats to be his maids? He used to have six or seven maids serving him, not to mention some second- and third-class maids.

After all, he was living under someone else's roof, so An Changle couldn't say much and could only swallow his anger. It was a pity that these people were too greedy. Seeing that they could not get any money from him, they began to secretly hide their things. At first it was some small accessories, and then their own clothes. After a long time, there was nothing left of the things An Changle brought from the Marquis' Mansion.

At first, An Changle didn't notice these things and thought he had lost something, until he saw a hairpin, a pair of earrings, and even a piece of clothing on a cousin's wife. An Changle pointed them out immediately.

"I was wondering how my things disappeared without a sound. You guys are the ones who took my things away. This family of yours claims to be a family of scholars, but in fact, they are no different from thieves."

My cousin's aunt was not someone to be trifled with. She rushed over and said, "What are you talking about? I bought all these things myself. How can you say they belong to you?"

An Changle also started to fight with the other party, and said as she did so: "I am the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. All my things are marked. If you don't believe me, take a look."

The other sisters-in-law naturally saw it as well. They looked at each other and no one said anything. In fact, they also had a lot of An Changle's things in their own rooms, but none of them wore them out as blatantly as this sister-in-law did.

Later, the old lady of the sixth room couldn't stand it anymore and stopped their quarreling. She also asked one of the cousins to return the things. However, An Changle didn't end up well either. Because he dared to argue with his elders, he was punished to kneel in the small Buddhist hall.

It's called a small Buddhist temple, but it's actually just a pitch-dark room with a picture of Buddha on the wall. Lock people in there, and even the toughest people will become very obedient after four or five days.

An Changle was not someone to be trifled with, and he started yelling loudly, but the small Buddhist hall was well soundproofed, and no one paid any attention to what was happening in Room Six. An Changle had been hungry for three whole days. He was really hungry. If Room Six had not been afraid of any problems, they would probably have kept it locked up for a while longer.

After going out, An Changle was so hungry that he felt dizzy and fell directly to the ground. The little girls next to him curled their lips when they saw it, and one of them even kicked him twice.

After this experience, An Changle had completely learned his lesson. He could not beat them, nor could he scold them. In the end, he was the one who suffered. So An Changle simply did not bother with them. In addition, he would be married in a while, so he did not want to care about these things anymore.

Here, An Chenfeng looked at Su Tong under the candlelight, and his brows softened a little.

"I heard that Changle is doing well in the Sixth House, chatting and laughing with a few little girls. He is much more obedient than before, and can even wash himself." An Chenfeng said this with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "He was such a little kid before, and now he has suddenly grown up.

My wife, even if Changle did many things wrong, she is still our daughter after all. Even if she is adopted out, we still have some feelings for her.

She is going to get married soon, so you should prepare a dowry for her and don’t let her get married in poverty.”

Su Tong didn't want to prepare a dowry for an ungrateful person. Even if he threw the money into the water, at least he could hear the sound. However, giving the money to such an ungrateful person would only make him more upset.

Su Tong wanted to refuse, but An Chenfeng kept talking about An Changle's childhood. Su Tong was afraid that he would regret it and start to miss the old times, so he wanted to take her back, so he quickly agreed to the matter. However, the dowry...

There are many ways to manipulate the dowry. For example, the most common ones are some decorative porcelains, including official kilns with exquisite workmanship and folk kilns with average quality...

The cloth includes fine white cotton and ordinary coarse cotton...

There are also various kinds of jewelry, such as gold, silver, copper, gold covered with silver, gold covered with copper, silver covered with copper...

After Su Tong sent the people away, she began to prepare a dowry for her adopted daughter. Since her husband said that the dowry could come from the palace, she directly took out three thousand taels of silver.

Su Tong first prepared dozens of batches of worthless coarse cloth, even some hemp cloth. The only things that were worth looking at were one or two pieces of white cotton cloth and a piece of silk cloth.

After finishing all this, she asked someone to find a carpenter to make some furniture, but they were all made of worthless wood and painted with varnish. They looked quite valuable, but in fact they were not worth mentioning at all. They were just ordinary firewood. The only valuable things were a few boxes made of camphor wood. Only small families would give such furniture as dowry.

The rest was to prepare some jewelry. Shu Tong naturally would not buy gold and silver items for his daughter, but he would not make the other party look particularly embarrassed. Most of them were bought with gold-plated copper, and a few were silver. Anyway, few of them were valuable, and there were even some silk flowers.

Su Tong ran to the storeroom at home and picked out some unwanted junk. He asked someone to rearrange them and barely put together a dowry of 68 sets. Then he picked out two shabby shops and more than 100 acres of low-quality farmland.

The Sixth House was a family of scholars, so Su Tong asked someone to go to a low-class bookstore and buy a lot of tattered books. He also bought some worthless calligraphy and paintings to make things look more formal.

All these miscellaneous things added up would probably not exceed five hundred taels of silver, but Su Tong used the excuse of buying a dowry for her daughter, and she embezzled nearly three or four thousand taels of silver in total. Well, this money will be her own private money from now on.

Su Tong looked at the banknotes in his hand and whistled happily. To outsiders, this was a generous dowry, but compared with the daughters of other wealthy families, this dowry was probably not enough. It was even not as good as two sets of dowry.

The Sixth House was envious after seeing so many things, especially the betrothal gifts sent by the third place winner. If they were not afraid of being embarrassed, they would have wanted to embezzle all of these things.

Su Tong carried the dowry to the sixth room and took a look at An Changle. My goodness, how long has it been? A daughter who was once raised pampered has now completely fallen into decline. It really is true that money still feeds people.
