Chapter 3413 Huahua's Dowry
When they left, Ping'er turned to Yang Ruoqing and said, "Qing'er, please accompany me back to the house. I have something I want you to help me decide on."
Yang Ruoqing stood up quickly and accompanied Ping'er back to Ping'er's house.
Ping'er and Huahua have been living in the guest room in the front yard of Yang Ruoqing's house. Yang Ruoqing planned to let them live there until Ping'er got married.
These days, the two of them are helpless, and Ping'er has such a beautiful face,
If they were allowed to wander outside, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Moreover, Yang Ruoqing's house has many guest rooms, which not only provides accommodation for Ping'er Huahua, the poor couple, but also provides accommodation for Yang Ruolan and Ahao's family of three.
Yang Ruolan and Ahao have been saving money for the past two years and plan to start building a new house in May or June.
But it is also possible that they bought those farmhouses directly in the village and then repaired them. In short, the family of three planned to move out before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
“Wow, this room is so clean, Qing’er, thank you for your hard work.”
When Ping'er's grateful voice reached her ears, Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses.
She also glanced at the bright and clean room, and smiled slightly: "It's not hard. Why did you come to me? Tell me."
The two sat down, Ping'er I noticed that there was really no trace of dust on the table or stool, and I felt even more moved.
“Let me show you something first.” Pinger said.
Turn around and open a small wooden box she brought back. After opening it, she took out a pair of red lacquered wood dressing boxes.
This dressing box looks very expensive.
“This is the dressing box that Huahua’s mother-in-law used before, and it was also her dowry.”
Ping’er said, and opened the dressing box with a snap.
As soon as the dressing box was opened, a burst of bright light shot out from inside, and Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes.
Looking carefully again, good guy, there is a box full of pearls, agate, gold, silver and jade.
"Here you go, this dowry is huge!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but praise.
If it were all converted into silver, I would conservatively estimate that five hundred taels would be a bargain.
Five hundred taels of silver, in this era, is nothing to those princes and nobles.
However, for the majority of ordinary people, five hundred taels of silver is really a huge sum of money.
It’s like winning a five million jackpot in modern society!
"I am the maid Mrs. Zhou brought over from her parents' home," Ping'er continued.
“The Madam’s natal family, the Zhou family, used to be the richest man in Yuncheng, and the Madam’s own mother is a young lady from a concubine’s house in the capital.”
“This is a box full of things. , is the madam’s mother, that is, the dowry of the concubine’s lady.”
< br>"By the time Madam got married, the Zhou family was already in decline, and the Yang family was at its peak."
"The old lady was worried that Madam would be bullied when she married into the Yang family, so she bought an extremely generous dowry for Madam, including There’s this box of stuff.”
"When my wife married Yang Wenxuan, the master of the Yang family, the wedding caused a sensation in the entire Yuncheng."
"Unfortunately, the Yang family couldn't do it anymore..."
Speaking of this , Ping'er suddenly realized that she shouldn't say that.
Because the final destruction of the Yang family in Yuncheng was directly related to the old Yang family in Changping Village, especially Qing'er in front of them.
"Of course, the final downfall of the Yang family in Yuncheng was caused by their own fault and evil intentions, and they do not deserve sympathy..."
Ping'er quickly tried to make amends, but Yang Ruoqing smiled indifferently. "You followed from the Zhou family to the Yang family, and you must have some affection for the master and servant of the Zhou family. It's okay to talk about that. You can continue to the main topic." Yang Ruoqing said.
Ping'er nodded, and continued: "Before the Yang Mansion was completely destroyed, Yang Wenxuan was angry with Madam because of what happened to Ting'er, and even drove Madam and Huahua back to Zhou. Home.”
< br>"Qing'er, you also know what happened later. The Yang Mansion was gone, and the Zhou family kicked us out." Back..."
"This time, the woman who is critically ill came to us and handed me this box."
"The lady said that she felt sorry for Huahua and could not protect her. She said that she had been hiding this box, and it was for Huahua. Prepare the dowry,"
"Let me properly prepare for Huahua Keep it and give it to Huahua when Huahua gets married."
"The woman asked me to swear, in front of her and Huahua, that if I don't give it to Huahua, I will be struck by lightning or something... ..."
Speaking of this, Ping'er covered her mouth and shed tears.
Yang Ruoqing didn't know how to persuade her. She felt sorry for Ping'er's painstaking efforts and hard work in raising Huahua in the past few years and was questioned by Zhou. She felt a little unfair for Ping'er.
But at the same time, they were all mothers, Yang Ruoqing. We can also understand Zhou's tangled state of mind before danger.
Because I am Huahua’s last blood relative in this world, when I leave, I really entrust Huahua to Ping’er.
Growing up in a wealthy family, Zhou grew up in an environment full of unpredictable people and infighting in the backyard.
Originally, I had a relatively clear view of human nature, and I also had an insight into the warmth and coldness of the world.
She trusted Ping'er and that's why she entrusted the box to Ping'er.
At the same time, she didn’t believe Ping’er.
She may feel that a person does not betray because the bargaining chips for betrayal are far from enough.
On the one hand, he tried to impress Ping'er with the old master-servant relationship, and on the other hand, he made Ping'er swear to restrain Ping'er with gods and complaints, so that Ping'er could treat Huahua kindly.
"Don't doubt people when you doubt them, and never doubt people when you employ them. In the past few years, you have raised Huahua without any regrets, without asking for anything in return,"
"Just this move alone, in the eyes of an open-minded person, will definitely not question you." Yang Ruoqing persuaded Ping'er.
"But Zhou is different. It has something to do with her character and the atmosphere in which she grew up. She is used to guessing and self-protection."
"Don't take it personally, as long as Huahua believes in you That's it." Yang Ruoqing said.
Hearing this, Ping'er's pale face finally showed a smile.
"Huahua persuaded Madam at that time, saying not to do this. Aunt Ping'er is not such a person, and she should be treated like her own mother..." Ping'er said.
"Huahua's words really warmed my heart when I heard them." Ping'er added.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "As long as Huahua understands you, that's enough."
Ping'er nodded, "Well, yes, Huahua is almost ten years old, she is sensible. !”
“On the way back, she told me that she didn’t want the things in the box, and she wanted me to take care of them myself, sell it, buy a house or land, etc.,” Ping’er said again.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised by Huahua's proposal.
"This child Huahua is really sensible. To be able to say something like this means that she has seen and remembered all your hard work over the years." Yang Ruoqing said.
"By the way, then you come to me to talk about this matter. What do you plan to do with this box? Let me listen to you and give you some advice!"
