The villagers listened to Auntie Qin Er and had no way to refute her. They had no way to refute her. This person was so annoying. Who made the Qin family prosperous? The farts of this wife Qin Erniu were blown up by others.
"That's right. Your Qin Fang is still the most powerful. He became a general, changed his family, and took your Niu Dan away. But, Auntie Afang, you are wrong. You can't value your son and forget about your daughter. Look, Qin Sanniu has taken his daughter away. How can you keep your daughter by your side? If she follows Afang and the others, she will have a bright future with you, right?" A woman sourly tried to sow discord, and almost said that Auntie Qin Er was not good to her daughter.
Aunt Qin smiled, not minding other people's truth at all: "What truth are you telling? Who here doesn't value sons? Who values a daughter more than a son?"
This... is true.
The woman was blocked for a moment, and she was unhappy. "But that was because we didn't have the conditions. Now we have the conditions, and we can train a daughter. How can we not train her? If you do this, be careful that Erya will hate you in the future."
Aunt Qin ate some melon seeds and put the shells in her pocket. She is now the second aunt of the general, and she will not throw melon seed shells everywhere, and she cannot do things that will embarrass the general. Now there is only one branch of the Qin family, and she must establish a good image of the Qin family. Aunt Qin still smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Even though our Erya doesn't know anything, there are still many matchmakers coming to propose marriage. But, Erya is still young, and I don't want her to get married so early. As for being bad to the daughter-in-law, that's not the case. Even if I value my son, the daughter-in-law is also from my belly, and I have already prepared a dowry for the daughter-in-law. Moreover, our Qin family is an official family, and we all value daughters-in-law."
Hearing Aunt Qin saying that she had prepared a dowry for Qin Erya, everyone asked curiously, "What dowry?"
"Aunt Fang, tell me, how much dowry have you prepared for your Erya?"
"That's right, Erya is the sister of a general, the dowry can't be less, right?"
"It should be more than the dowry of the girls in the town, right?"
Aunt Qin used to be called Erniu's, Erniu's wife, and Niudan's mother. Now she is called the general's aunt and Afang's aunt. Aunt Qin thinks that she still likes the latter names, especially the general's aunt.
Aunt Qin looked at this group of people and knew that they were eager to find out, so she let them hear it. She told people about Erya's dowry, and those who were incompetent would not come to propose marriage. Aunt Qin thought about it and said, "I have prepared two acres of land and twenty taels of silver for Erya as a dowry."
Since ancient times, no one in the countryside would give land as a dowry to a daughter of a noble family. So everyone was stunned when they heard Aunt Qin say that the dowry for Erya would include two acres of land.
Aunt Qin looked at these people and remembered what her mother-in-law said before she left. Her mother-in-law said that when a daughter of a noble family gets married in the future, the old couple will prepare two acres of land and twenty taels of silver as a dowry. This money will come from the mother-in-law's salary. After the mother-in-law passes away, this salary will not be divided among her sons and daughters-in-law, but given to her grandchildren, so that they will not think about her salary.
Aunt Qin didn't care about this. Although she was also greedy for her mother-in-law's salary, the things she was greedy for were not for Niu Dan. Since her mother-in-law would give it to her grandchildren, why should she be greedy? She
just felt that the two mu of land and twenty taels of silver given to her daughter were too much. But since it was given by her mother-in-law, she had no opinion, anyway, it was not her money.
"Auntie Fang, you...you are giving your daughter two acres of land as a dowry? And twenty taels of silver?"
"Are you kidding? Two acres of land for a little girl?"
"That's right, isn't this a waste of land? It's for our son."
Auntie Qin listened to their discussion and snorted, "Didn't you say before that we can't only care about our son and ignore our daughter? Now our family is giving our daughter two acres of land and twenty taels of silver as a dowry, why are you saying that it's not good?"
"This...this is different. Giving silver is fine, but the land...you gave the land to Erya. Does Niu Dan know about it?" "That
's right. If Niu Dan's future wife finds out, won't she make a fuss?"
"When this daughter-in-law makes trouble, the family is in disharmony."
Aunt Qin said with a spit: "Why should I be afraid of her making trouble? I gave Erya two acres of land, and Niu Dan still has more than ten acres of land. If Niu Dan's wife gets angry, she should not enter our house. Why would I care about her mother? Besides, our Niu Dan follows his eldest brother, and his eldest sister-in-law will definitely arrange a wife for him in the future. How can the girls arranged by A Fang's wife be the same as the women in the countryside like us? Will they still care about these two acres of land?" Of course, this is Aunt Qin's bragging. She doesn't know whether A Fang's wife will introduce a wife to Niu Dan, but they are thousands of miles away, so what if she brags here?
Everyone was so angry at Aunt Qin's boastful tone, but there was nothing they could do, because what Aunt Qin said seemed to be true.
Just at this moment, a carriage passed by them, then stopped, and a head popped out of the carriage: "Mother, I'm back." Uncle Qin's voice was loud and very excited. Speaking of which, although it was good to be in the general's mansion, he followed him to the military camp and fields, and he was also very comfortable, but it was not as comfortable as being in his hometown. In his hometown, he could see people he knew when he went out, and he felt at ease.
Auntie Qin stopped bragging and looked at the head in the carriage. Then she shouted, "Ah..." Then she hid the melon seeds in her pocket and ran over. "Erniu, Erniu, you're back. You look so dead. Why did you come back so late?" Uncle Qin, who had been away from home for a month and a half, finally came back. To be honest, Auntie Qin looked carefree and didn't care about Uncle Qin and Niu Dan at all, but when it was really night and she and Erya were the only ones at home, she was still worried. It wasn't that she was worried about what would happen to her and her daughter, but she was worried about her husband and son.
Now that she saw her husband was back, she finally let go. As soon as she felt relieved, her eyes became red: "Erniu, why did you come back so late?" This dead man, he came back immediately after sending the child to school, and he didn't know whether his family would miss him or not?
Uncle Qin smiled naively: "I also wanted to come back earlier, but Afang's wife said that Niu Dan had just arrived there and he would not be able to adapt alone, so she asked me to accompany him for a while and also asked me to see the situation there. Oh, by the way, Afang's wife made two new clothes for each of us. You and Erya were not here, and she didn't know your figures, so she asked me to bring the cloth back and let you make it yourself."
Aunt Qin heard that, all her worries disappeared, she didn't care where her son's husband was, she only thought about the cloth at this moment. But she still praised Yang Haiyan: "Oh, isn't Afang's wife too polite? She brought us fabrics even though we didn't go. Erniu, you have to send them food and other things next time you go." It would have been fine if she just praised herself, but she also used her loud voice so that most of the people in the village could hear it.
Everyone knew what she was thinking, but there was nothing they could do. The Qin family was now prosperous.
"That's right, Qin Fang's wife is so filial."
"You are so lucky to have such a good niece-in-law."
"Auntie Afang, you are so lucky."
Qin Erniu was confused, listening to these people praising Auntie Qin. He even remembered that some of them were not on good terms with Auntie Qin. Just before he left Baili Village, he remembered that they had quarreled over laundry.
Auntie Qin was very happy to be praised, so she said to Uncle Qin: "Let's go, let's go home quickly. And who is this master who drives the carriage?" He asked while jumping on the carriage.
Uncle Qin pulled her on the carriage and said: "This is the master of the escort team. He came from Yunxiang County. He was going to another place and passed by us. Afang was worried that it would be unsafe for me to come back alone, so he asked the escort team to come with me."
Auntie Qin: "Afang is still sensible."
When they arrived at their home, the master who drove the carriage unloaded the goods and went back. Qin Erya was making embroidered handkerchiefs at home. She came out at this time. Looking at so many things, she was surprised and said, "Dad, are these all brought back by my elder brother and sister-in-law?" Uncle Qin nodded
and said, "There are also your clothes and fabrics. Come and have a look. You have a lot of clothes."
Qin Erya walked forward happily to take a look.
Aunt Qin had already taken out a large bag of things: "Oh, these clothes are so beautiful, this color is for young ladies."
Seeing a few brightly colored clothes, Uncle Qin explained: "These are the clothes that Afang's wife has worn. The other day, Afang's wife said she would buy fabric for you and Erya and bring it back. My mother said that we could also bring back her clothes for Erya. Her clothes are made of good material, but she has grown taller, so these clothes are a bit small, but they are too big for Si Ya and San Ya, and they are just right for Erya. This is not what Afang's wife meant, so as to avoid you misunderstanding that she was giving you the leftover clothes. She also asked me to bring the fabric for new clothes."
Aunt Qin said: "Am I that kind of person? Even if there is no fabric for new clothes, I still want these clothes." She really doesn't care. Country people, who hasn't worn the leftover clothes of their sister? Moreover, the material of these clothes is so good that they look like new ones. If she could fit into them, she would have wanted to take a few pieces to try. But looking back at her daughter, she felt that her daughter was a little dark and could not support the clothes given by Afang's wife. After thinking for a while, she said, "Erya, from now on, you don't have to go to the fields, and you don't have to go out in the sun to cover your face white. Otherwise, your sister-in-law's clothes will not look good on you."
Qin Erya was unwilling, and she responded happily, and then carried a pile of Yang Haiyan's clothes into the house. She looked at this and that in the house, and was very happy.
