Happy Marriage - Chapter 3 borrow dowry

In the yard, under the heavy bluestone slab, a seed stretched out its arms with difficulty, struggling to emerge a fragile bud.

Mrs. Lian moved a tumbler and stood in front of the Moon Gate, banging melon seeds leisurely, watching over the two sisters.

The little girl Qingju angrily brought a bowl of boiled leftovers from the kitchen, and she could see Xia Anran's red and swollen eyes secretly weeping.

Xia Ansheng pretended nothing had happened: "It's so fragrant, if I'm really hungry, eating bran is as sweet as honey."

Xia Anran sobbed lowly, full of self-blame: "It's useless to be my sister, drag you down to suffer this grievance and suffering, if your mother is still there"

There were shredded and chaotic footsteps in the yard.

"Lian's daughter-in-law, I heard that the second miss is awake?"

It was Xue's high-pitched and mean voice.

An Ran who was stunned hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand and stood up.

Old Madam Lian complied, trotted, and opened the bamboo curtain to greet him. Xue shi lowered his head and walked into the room, dressed in a new sapphire blue brocade robe, and his hair was slick and smooth.

An Ran gracefully curled up and called out "Mother".

An Sheng immediately followed and called out, "Mother."

The voice was weak, but Xue Shi's body froze for a moment, and she turned her face to look at her strangely: "Awake? Are you better?"

An Sheng lowered his eyebrows and looked very soft: "Fortunately, his body is as soft as a ball of cotton."

Mrs Xue walked up to him, sat down beside the bed, and reached out to touch An Sheng's forehead to make sure there was no high fever: "Silly boy, I haven't touched my teeth for many days, can I have strength?"

He turned his head and saw the rice porridge that An Ran casually placed on the table, and was furious: "These servants are becoming more and more careless in their work. Do you eat white porridge as soon as the second lady wakes up? Lian's daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen and pass the message. My order is to make some hot porridge with chicken and ginseng to make up for the second lady."

Even the old woman was a little surprised. She looked at Xue Shi and An Sheng again. She felt that the two of them were a bit strange today as a mother and a daughter. They didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

An Sheng laughed twice: "Don't be so troublesome, that ginseng was reserved for mother on a special trip."

Xue patted the back of An Sheng's hand lovingly: "This child, who fell by himself, is a lot more sensible and considerate. The more the mother looks at it, the more distressed she becomes."

Did you fall over yourself? The Xue family, who has a sweet face and a bitter heart, can really reverse right and wrong and whitewash peace. An Sheng snorted coldly in his heart and smiled softly.

"It was true that the child was ignorant before, which made the mother tired."

An Ran on the side stared at her sister with some worry, An Sheng's sudden respect and warmth towards Xue made her a little uneasy.

Madam Lian inexplicably turned around and walked out of the courtyard door.

Xue shi's eyes flickered, and the elusive sneer on the corner of his lips was fleeting.

"Good boy, our family doesn't talk about the two sides. Who made me your mother? It's all right to be troubled and worried. You are good to have a baby, don't be in a hurry to go down to the ground."

She gave Xia Anran a silent wink, and stood up: "Enron send your mother off."

An Sheng raised his hand and grabbed the corner of her sleeve, blinking his eyes: "Is there something good for my mother to favor my sister? I have to hide it from my daughter."

An Ran still lowered her brows and pleasing her eyes: "If your mother has something to say, just tell her."

Xue shied away from An Sheng's hand calmly, turned her head to face An Ran, coughed twice, and curled her lips: "It's not a big deal. It's not that Madam Meng came to the house a few days ago and glanced at him. I fell in love with your third sister Ziwu. Today, I immediately ordered a tea ceremony in a hurry, and the gift was quite generous. My mother was a little unexpected, and the dowry originally prepared for Ziwu seemed a little shabby, and I couldn't take it out. "

An Sheng was calm, his brows and eyes were warm with a smile, but his heart was full of hatred, and the time to come finally came.

Xue said to herself: "In three days, Ziwu is going to get married, and many trivial matters are not going down, so I was a little caught off guard. You are sensible since you were a child, you know, this dowry is not right, Ziwu will marry later, You are going to suffer from the indifference of her husband's family, and life is not easy. You, the eldest sister, will definitely not watch Ziwu get angry in the future, right?"

An Ran's face suddenly turned pale, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. She glanced at An Sheng uneasily, and said with difficulty, "So what?"

"So, mother thought, didn't you have a dowry prepared by your mother in advance for you? Let's borrow Ziwu to use it for the time being. After this marriage is done properly, mother must have arranged it for you again. , only more or less!"

An Ran bit her lower lip tightly, almost bleeding.

She doesn't know how to refuse. Rao is Xue's like a vampire, who has been plundering and plundering what originally belonged to her again and again, and she does not dare to express a "no" neatly and resolutely.

An Sheng, who was lying down, suddenly smiled, his eyes bright and bright, shaking a pool of silver light.

She said lightly and generously: "What a big deal. My mother bought it again, and it must be the best. My sister got the advantage for nothing."

Xue Shi nodded hastily, and a flower bloomed on her face: "That's natural. Mother will definitely not treat you badly, and the dowry is also a respectable thing in our house."

An Ran was hesitant to say anything, but she didn't have the courage to say it when she refused, knocking out her teeth and swallowing blood.

Xue slapped her thighs and stood up, and she said neatly to the subway: "I know that you are all good children who are sensible and righteous, so this matter is settled. I will thank you two sisters for Ziwu first."

An Ran's face paled, and she whispered, "You're welcome."

Xue's was a little unexpected. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. Just now, he thought about avoiding the thorns.

She raised her legs to leave, and An Sheng struggled to get up: "Mother!"

"Is there anything else?" Mrs Xue turned her head and looked pleasant.

"It doesn't matter. That is, my sister just said that my grandmother heard from somewhere that I was sick, and asked the people in the house. An Sheng was afraid that her grandmother would be concerned. Could my mother send someone to tell her that I am safe and sound?"

Qin's family has been the master of An Sheng's aunt Qian's family over the years. They did not walk with the Xia Mansion very intimately, but they still greeted each other during the New Year's Festival, and they just greeted An Sheng and Anran's sisters with warm greetings. Since it has spread to other people's ears, it should be polite to send someone back.

I just don't know which one of the talkative people in the house is talking nonsense? Xue slandered a few words, and then glanced at An Sheng vigilantly, hesitating for a moment, this girl's film is not right today.

An Shengfu hesitantly said again: "To prevent my uncle from worrying about coming to the door again, you are the messenger who knows my aunt's mean temper, and you should tell me to be stricter."

An Sheng's voice was like a gnat, a little ashamed.

Xue immediately understood An Sheng's concerns, because she was afraid that the Qin family would make trouble because of Ziwu's money, so she put aside her doubts and responded with a smile: "This time Ziwu's marriage will not cost your grandmother and aunt's money, I will let you go. The coachman, Lao Wang, headed to Buzhuang and said that. You can rest assured and take care of yourself, don't think about it."

An Ran still lowered his head and said nothing. Xue shi told An Sheng with a smile, then got up and dusted his body and left.

An Ran sent the Xue family away, and then she slowly raised her head, frowning her eyebrows, and she wanted to cry: "The dowry is the only thought that my mother left for us, it feels like it's gouging out the flesh in our hearts."

An Sheng felt distressed when he saw his sister, and remembered the tragic death of his mother, and he gritted his teeth: "You and I have always been compromising, letting them take and take, and they are weak. Are you driving to a dead end?"

Xia Ansheng looked at his elder sister with hope, hoping that she would be as strong as himself, and instantly aroused high fighting spirit.

An Ran was stunned for a long time, slumped on the embroidered pier, and cried, "Everything is destined, what can we do?"

An Sheng suddenly sat up angrily, widened his eyes at An Ran, and said brightly, "What if it's really fate? There's only one life left, so what's there to be afraid of? It's just a matter of a few years. .

We must fight, not only to take back your dowry, but also to take back the marriage that belonged to you! your happiness! Sister, we must take our destiny into our own hands! Fight with the vicious Xue's mother and daughter. "
