Chapter 326 Does Mother Have Any Good Plans?
Madam Mo was naturally aware of this traditional rule.
She had her own considerations for doing so.
“It’s already April.”
As Madam Mo spoke, her gaze gradually drifted away, even with a hint of sadness.
She continued, "Yunfeng led people to the western border to gather information and has yet to return. Your father and brother are still missing, whether they are alive or dead.
According to the information we've received, Mr. Simeng will appear in the Western Territory in July. I'm worried that if we can't successfully rescue your father and brother by then, they will probably be in great danger."
Mrs. Mo kept these words in her heart and never said them in front of the children, for fear of shattering their confidence.
But today, when she mentioned discussing her daughter's wedding date, she had to bring it up to explain.
He Zhiran was the most insightful. After listening to a few words from his mother-in-law, he instantly guessed what she was thinking.
However, it was difficult for her to say the reason out loud.
However, just because she didn't say it doesn't mean others won't say it either.
The second sister-in-law, who has always been outspoken, became active today. The first thing she thought of was her husband whose life or death was unknown. In front of everyone, tears flowed uncontrollably.
She stood up and choked up, "Mother, my husband and father will definitely come back safely. Please don't have such thoughts."
The eldest sister-in-law also shed tears, but she did not say it out loud like her second brother's wife. She just prayed silently in her heart that her husband, father-in-law and second brother could return safely like the other missing brothers.
Mrs. Mo also thought so, but she had experienced more and was more able to accept reality than her daughter-in-law.
She wiped the corners of her eyes gently and said, "I'm just worried. Things haven't reached the final stage yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be."
Madam Mo asked her second sister-in-law to go back and sit down, and then she spoke again: "If there is any bad news in July, Hanyue's marriage will be delayed.
We can’t let those unwritten rules ruin Hanyue’s lifelong happiness.”
As an experienced old woman, she didn't believe that once the Mo family father and son reported the news of their death, and Mo Hanyue had been in mourning for three years, Meng Huaining would still be waiting for her there unchanged.
Therefore, today she wanted to make a change in her daughter's marriage.
Mo Jiuye has never liked those worldly rules, not to mention that he is confident that he can rescue his father and brother safely.
Of course, no matter what his mother thought, he chose to support her.
"In this case, does Mother have any good plans?"
Madam Mo sighed and said, "Lord Meng has already said that he will come to propose marriage in three days. He doesn't have any elders in Yuncheng, so it's not a bad idea for me to set the wedding date."
"Since mother has an idea, just do as you say." Mo Jiuye agreed.
It was a rare occasion that his mother wanted to take charge, so as a son, he naturally had to fulfill her wish.
What's more, after getting to know Meng Huaining for a period of time, he has a good understanding of him. He is a very down-to-earth person. As his brother, he is relieved that Han Yue can marry such a person.
He Zhiran had no objection. She had already started to think about what kind of dowry to prepare for her sister-in-law.
Although Madam Mo still has the final say now, she has handed over the power of the housekeeper to herself since the beginning of the Road of Exile.
During this period, no matter what decision I made, my mother-in-law never raised any objections, which shows that she trusts me.
What's more, the family's financial resources are in her hands. Although she usually gives some to her brothers and sisters-in-law, it is only a small part.
Besides, the Mo family did not split up, and the whole family lived together. Naturally, the dowry for her sister-in-law's marriage had to be taken care of by her as the head of the family.
The resources in He Zhiran's space are rich enough to rival a country, and he will not be stingy at all on Mo Hanyue's dowry.
However, this dowry also requires a lot of attention.
First of all, we need to consider the betrothal gift given by the man, and then we can give a corresponding dowry based on the amount of the betrothal gift.
You can also consider the financial resources of the daughter's family. If her family is wealthy, they will naturally not treat their married daughter badly.
However, although they are now free, they are exiled after all.
It is well known that he was penniless when he left Beijing. After arriving in the northwest, he started some small businesses, and his income was limited on the surface.
If the dowry she gave went beyond the superficial scope, it would inevitably cause others to think too much.
Especially those valuable treasures taken from the treasuries of the two countries cannot be seen casually.
Therefore, He Zhiran had his own plans.
A daughter's dowry is nothing more than some gold, silver and other valuables.
She had recently seen two weddings in Xiling Village. Seeing the dowry and furniture sent by the bride's family, she thought that only families with a wealthy financial background could afford it.
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, He Zhiran already had a rough idea in mind and was just waiting to see what kind of betrothal gift Meng Huaining would send before making the final decision.
The whole family has discussed Mo Hanyue's matter and has reached a consensus.
Life in the Mohist family continued to return to its previous tranquility, with everyone finding things to do.
After a few days of renovation, the rabbit shed is now completely back on track. There are hired people to help take care of it every day, so my fifth brother and his wife have a lot more free time.
However, the two were still worried, and they would take turns guarding the rabbit shed every day. Even at night, the fifth brother would go to check on them out of concern.
It's nothing more than worrying that some wild animals from the mountains might come down and sneak into the rabbit shed. In addition, we also have to guard against thieves.
Although the Cui family no longer exists, the fact that the Mo family built a rabbit shed is no secret. People from other villages also came here to help build the house. Who can be sure that these people have no bad intentions, or tell this matter to someone with ulterior motives?
Therefore, Mo Zhongyuan went to the rabbit shed to patrol at night to prevent thieves from targeting his rabbits.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye also thought of this.
They all felt that it was not a long-term solution for Fifth Brother to always check at night, and it would be better to come up with a permanent solution.
He Zhiran has lived two lives, so his mind is naturally more insightful than Mo Jiuye's.
She looked at the rice ball who was acting coquettishly in front of her, and immediately had an idea in her mind.
Suddenly, hundreds of black German Shepherd puppies appeared in the open space.
When Fantuan saw a lot of new animals suddenly appear not far away, he immediately gave up trying to please his owner and ran over with his short legs.
He Zhiran finally discovered that this little guy liked to make those small animals submit to him.
It had long been tired of playing with the cattle and sheep in the space, so it decided to give them a break and no longer set rules for them every day.
The appearance of so many new animals once again aroused Fantuan's interest.
He Zhiran knew this would be the effect, so she just stood there quietly watching Fantuaner's performance.
Of course, this is something she would be happy to see happen.
