Chapter 69 The Ye Family's Decision
Thinking of the madness of last night, Su Tai's pretty face turned red. She hurriedly grabbed her clothes, put them on hastily, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
The dowry she brought yesterday had not yet been packed up, and now she had time to put everything in place one by one, starting with her dowry jewelry.
Han prepared a silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver necklace for her. She bought herself a jade hairpin, pearl flowers and silk flowers, as well as the hairpin that Su Yu had given her before. It seemed like a lot, but she felt like something was missing.
Just as she was thinking hard, a dressing box suddenly appeared beside her.
Su Tai looked up in surprise and met Chen Yi's deep and gentle eyes, "Prepared for me?"
Chen Yi smiled faintly and nodded, "I originally wanted to send it to your house together with the betrothal gifts, but then Second Aunt said that everything was complete, and with this dowry it wouldn't make a pair, so I kept it secretly to give you a surprise."
Su Tai was really happy and quickly opened the box.
The entire dressing box is made of the finest ebony, carved with lifelike flowers, birds, insects and fish, and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which is very exquisite.
The first layer is movable, and there are three small layers inside. The top layer is filled with rouge and powder, the middle layer is lip balm, and the bottom layer is an exquisite wooden comb.
The second layer is divided into two small compartments. On the left are a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of jade bracelets, and on the right are a pair of pearl earrings and a pair of silver earrings.
Su Tai's eyes widened instantly, "I remembered that my mother didn't prepare earrings for me!"
No wonder she always felt like something was missing.
Shen Yi's smile deepened, and he took out the pearl earrings and helped her put them on.
Su Tai opened the last layer, which contained hairpins and hairpins.
This dressing box should contain two sets of head ornaments.
"These must have cost a lot of money!" She held the things lovingly, raised her head and looked at Chen Yi eagerly, her eyes were really endearing.
Chen Yi stroked her hair and said softly, "Not much. The dressing box was custom-made by a master craftsman for six taels of silver, and the two sets of headgear together cost twelve taels, for a total of twenty taels."
Su Tai couldn't help but gasp, and her hands holding the dressing box tightened inexplicably, "Have you made a fortune?"
Shen Yi was happy, and while helping her fix her hair, he explained, "Didn't you ask me to buy more land? This year, I spent a lot of effort to take care of it. I sold the land and earned more than 500 taels. These are all brought to me by you, so it's only right that I spend them on you."
Su Tai counted on her fingers and said, "You gave me two hundred taels as a betrothal gift. Add to that the dowry and household items. There won't be much left, right?"
"There are still more than four hundred taels." Shen Yi opened the cabinet and took out a bag of silver from the mezzanine. "These are all my belongings. I will give them to you for safekeeping from now on."
Seeing that he was not holding back, Su Tai would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. She immediately took out the silver she had brought with her and said, "My parents gave me two hundred taels as a dowry, and I have saved more than three hundred taels myself. Together, I have more than you have. This way, our combined assets are exactly one thousand taels!"
If you don’t calculate it, you won’t know. Once you calculate it, both of them will be frightened.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, "Chen Yi, open the door!"
"It's Second Aunt." Shen Yi said.
Su Tai hurriedly collected all the silver and money.
Shen Yi helped her open her cabinet, and then used his strength to help her open the secret compartment, "From now on, all our family's money will be kept with you. Think about it later and hide them separately. Don't put them all in one place. I'll go out and open the door for Second Aunt first."
Su Tai nodded.
As soon as Chen Yi left, she immediately took out two hundred taels of silver from the package and put it into the secret compartment, and sent the rest to the Space-Time Gate Transfer Station.
It will never be lost no matter where you put it.
After doing all this, she looked at her outfit again and made sure that everything was fine before opening the door and going out.
Xu was talking to Chen Yi in the main hall. When she saw Su Tai coming in with a rosy face, she smiled so hard that her eyes were not visible. "Seeing that you are living well, I feel relieved!"
Su Tai hurriedly poured a glass of water for Xu.
Xu drank it generously, and then began to arrange for Su Tai's sacrifice.
After finishing the work, Xu hurried back.
Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, Su Tai was a little puzzled, "Hasn't the autumn harvest over? What else is Second Aunt busy with?"
Chen Yi laughed and said, "This year, Second Aunt followed me to plant crops and made a good harvest. With money in hand, she naturally wanted to learn from me to buy land and build a house. These days, my family's fishing boat has been taken by Second Uncle and cousin to collect stones."
“That’s a good thing!”
The Xu family are all good people and they protect her. They are also good to her. They are also Shen Yi's only relative in Shenjiazhuang. Su Tai is naturally happy to see them live a good life.
Since Chen Yi didn't have a fishing boat, he stayed at home with Su Tai, and the two of them lived a sweet and happy honeymoon life.
At the same time, Han in Dongmen Village had completely free time after marrying off her daughter, and immediately took Su Nizi to the old house.
When Ye Chunhua and her four siblings saw the Han couple, they immediately guessed why they were there.
"Aunt, please sit inside." Ye Chunhua calmly led them into the house and said, "I agree with what you said before. I am willing to marry. If you don't mind, my sister can also marry into the Ke family with me."
"Oh! This is such a happy event for us, how could we dislike it!" Han smiled from ear to ear.
I thought I would have to find a way to help the Ke family find a daughter-in-law, but now there is someone willing to marry them. It's simply pie in the sky.
Xia Hua on the side said: "But we have a request."
"Go ahead and tell me." Su Nizi was so excited that her voice was trembling.
The two sisters looked at their three younger brothers reluctantly.
Ye Chunhua pursed her lips and said, "Auntie also knows that the five of us siblings depend on each other for survival. Originally, I was the only one willing to marry far away in Bingyuan, but my sister was worried that I would marry so far away and no one would take care of me, so she wanted to marry with me. In this way, only my brother and I would be left in the village.
After my two sisters get married, Ye An will also get married, but I am afraid that we two will not be able to take care of it, so I can only ask Aunt for help."
Han heaved a long sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed. "I didn't think it was a big deal. If you really marry into the Ke family, we will be real relatives. I am the elder of the three Ye An brothers, and I will definitely help you.
But it would be best to wait until next year's autumn harvest to discuss it. After the autumn harvest, everyone will have some free time, and the three brothers can save some money, and there will be more families who can choose. "
Ye Chunhua nodded gratefully, "Aunt, you are very thoughtful. I have no objection."
After that, she looked at her three younger brothers and earnestly instructed them, "You should find wives and live a good life in the village. If you encounter something that you can't make up your mind about, go find your uncle and aunt. We are together, so you don't have to worry about it."
Su Nizi said hurriedly, "In the future, the child's father will take the sheep out every year. If your sister wants to come out, it's okay. We won't miss each other."
