Dou Zhao finally picked up the purse.

At least it’s three thousand taels of silver, which can be sold for more than one thousand acres of land or a four-entry house!

If someone picks it up, I am afraid that even the people and the money will disappear in the blink of an eye.

Rather than give it to others, it is better to give it to her.

She opened her purse.

It contains a denomination of one hundred, two hundred or even dozens of taels, and it is the kind that is cashed out as soon as you see the bill.

My father thought quite thoughtfully.

Dou Zhao put the silver notes back into the purse, and heard a crying sound from the flower hall: "Brother, you might as well give me three-foot white silk to hang me, so as not to worry about my worries, and life is worse than death..."

Then give her three feet of white silk!

Dou Zhao complained in his heart.

Didn’t my mother give her a sweat towel as she wished, but why did she live well?

Why did Wang Xingyi give birth to something like this and ignorant of shame?

It really insulted his reputation for life.

Wang Zhibing's low voice came from the flower hall, which was vague and could not be heard clearly.

Dou Zhao was wondering whether to listen to the corner of the wall, but when he saw the inner fan in the flower hall move, his father accompanied Wang Zhibing to come out.

She hurriedly hid behind Taihu Stone beside her.

The father advised Wang Zhibing: "...You don't have to worry about getting angry. The matter is so sudden that she may not be able to accept it for a while. After talking about it, there is no result. Today you go back first and let her sisters-in-law come to see her and see what she has any other ideas. We will sit down and discuss it at that time. As long as the Dou family can do it, we will do our best to satisfy her."

Wang Zhibing's face was dark. When he heard this, a few blue veins appeared on his forehead and said in a deep voice: "What does Master Dou Qi mean? Do you think my sister is going to steal your family's money?"

"Don't get me wrong." The father's voice was gentle, "I just thought, although you are her brother, there is a difference between men and women. After so many years of separation, I'm afraid that she will not be able to tell you what she has to worry about. It's better to slow down for two days and wait for her to calm down before making plans." He also said, "If she can't bear to leave Ming Jie'er, she can come and see her at any time. But Ming Jie'er is young, so she's afraid that something will reach Ming Jie'er's ears and make the child uncomfortable. If she agrees, she can also ask Ming Jie'er to worship her as her godmother or auntie.[] When Ming Jie'er becomes sensible, it's not too late to tell Ming Jie'er what happened back then. However, for the specific words, whether it can be done like this, I have to ask your family to help you make an idea. I will do everything."

His words were said appropriately and sincerely, which made Wang Zhibing's face clear.

He looked at his father carefully and said, "I didn't expect you to be so calm and kind in your work. I underestimated you."

My father was ashamed and stammered: "It's not too late, so I won't keep you. When I come here next time, I will invite you to have tea - I have the Dahongpao brought by my second cousin from Fujian, which is quite worth a try."

Wang Zhibing left with satisfaction.

My father wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around to shout at the Taihu Stone where Dou Zhao was hiding, "Why don't you come out quickly? The sun is so big, be careful to get the sun!"

Dou Zhao walked out with a smile and said, "I hid well, how did Dad find me?"

The father smiled and pointed at the golden ring on Dou Zhao's head.

If I had known this, I would have tied my head.

Dou Zhao muttered in his heart, thinking of the three thousand taels of silver, pointed to the purse in his hand and smiled: "Dad, I picked up a purse..."

Not to mention that she is only five years old now, even if she is fifteen, it is not easy to hide three thousand silver without any trace. The best way is to spread it openly and take it as your own.

The father smiled and said, "It turns out you picked it up." While saying that, he reached out to get the purse.

Dou Zhao shook his hand and hid his porch behind him: "I picked it up, it's mine."

The father was stunned and smiled and said, "But this purse is mine. The owner has come to him. Do you still want to betray him?"

"Then you have to thank me." Dou Zhao said, "I want to share half of it."

The father couldn't help laughing and scraped her nose: "Who did you learn this from?" Then he opened his purse and picked a silver note of ten taels from it to her, "Thank you for your thanks."

"No, no," Dou Zhao and him came to hang out, looked at the one hundred taels, grabbed a handful of two hundred taels in his hand, "These are all mine..."

As he was talking, grandfather walked out.

My father was a little panicked and stuffed all the silver notes into his purse.

Grandfather frowned and said, "What are you doing?" His voice was very cold.[]

"It's okay, it's okay." The father said quickly, "Shou Gu's purse is loose, I'll help her hang it up."

ah!

Dou Zhao couldn't help but grin.

This silver note is my father's private money.

So even my grandfather had to hide it from it.

The grandfather said unhappily: "What are you, a big man, do these maids and women do?" Then he said, "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

The father agreed, called Tuo Niang over, pointed at Dou Zhao and said a few words in a low voice, and went to Heshoutang with his grandfather.

Dou Zhao smiled and headed towards the main room.

Tuo Niang stared at the purse around her waist all the way. Whenever she crossed the bridge, her face tightened, and she kept muttering "Miss Four, be careful, be careful", and she wanted to hold the purse in her hand.

Dou Zhao asked her: "Do you know what is in it?"

Tuo Niang nodded constantly.

Dou Zhao flipped through his wallet ten taels of silver: "I will give you a reward!"

"I don't want it, I don't want it." Tu Niang's face turned pale, "Miss, please put it away quickly? If someone sees me and gets caught, I can't afford to die even if I die a hundred times!" I was so anxious that I almost cried.

Dou Zhao sighed and handed the purse to Tuanniang: "You can help put it away!"

Tuo Niang responded, put her purse in her arms, and kept covering the place where she packed her purse with her hands and returning to the main house.

In the evening, my father returned to the house and asked her: "Where is the purse?"

Dou Zhao hugged a box from the fence at the head of the bed: "Here."

Father laughed.

Dou Zhao took the opportunity to put the box back.

The father called Madam Yu in: "There are three thousand taels of silver notes in Miss Four's house, so you can register it."

Madam Yu's face changed drastically and said uneasy: "Is it okay to put so much money in Miss Four's house?"

My father has always been used to being too big and said disapprovingly: "It's okay, it's just three thousand taels of silver."

Madam Yu couldn't say anything else, but Dou Zhao smiled and bent his eyes.

This money is of great use!

The next evening, Wang Yingxue's sisters-in-law came.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were locked in the room and talked.

Gao is a serious woman and doesn't speak very politely: "There are no outsiders here. Just tell me if you have any plans!"

Pang Shi sat on the embroidered pedestal with ink paint and gold, drinking tea leisurely, but her almond eyes swept through the furnishings in Wang Ying's snow house with great sharpness.

The rose-red Hunan quilt, the cloisonné flower vase, the lilac-colored Zhangfeng mattress, the official green cocoon silk tent, and the pastel tea cup from the official kiln in hand. If there is no ten thousand taels of silver, I am afraid it cannot be arranged!

No wonder she doesn't want to leave.

Pang Yulou smiled with his lips pursed, and heard her sister-in-law choking and said, "If I take Sister Ming back, will my father agree?"

"If you think it's good, I'll make the decision for your father and promise you." Years of lower-class life have made Gao's family go from a woman who only knows how to obey to a decisive person. She said in a deep voice, "If someone asks about it, it's the child of a relative, both parents die and no one takes care of me, I will be the adopted daughter. Your elder brother will find a way to do it all, so you don't have to worry."

The most urgent task now is to take Wang Yingxue back.

Wang Yingxue didn't expect that things would be like this.

She couldn't help biting her lip and said, "But in this way, she is an adopted daughter..."

Gao's heartache when he heard this.

Where did Wang Yingxue, who is innocent and kind, and noble as orchid, go?

Is poverty life really so terrible?

She is also a daughter-in-law. After marrying into the Wang family, she presided over the gift-giving, serving her mother-in-law, taking care of her sister-in-law, and raising children. When she thought of her father's teaching that "a gentleman should be content with poverty and be willing to be enterprising" before marriage, she could calm down and do her duty.

But where is Wang Yingxue?

When did it start to change?

When the Lei family quit their marriage, was it when she started to make a living and support her family? Or was it when she pity her for a moment when she was in trouble and kept it from her conscience?

Gao didn't know what to say.

Pang Shi, who was born in a businessman, had a turn of eyes.

She grew up listening to the sound of abacus beads since she was a child. Why can't she understand what Wang Yingxue said? Moreover, she is most annoyed by this little sister who dislikes her background and always compares her with her sister-in-law Gao. Therefore, she is not afraid of watching the show and laughs: "What my sister-in-law says makes sense. But our family is different from the past, so it is impossible to be a concubine for others. Otherwise, let my father come forward to talk to the Dou family? I will give up the marriages of the families and justify you..."

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let the people of the Dou family hear the joke." Gao Shi couldn't help shouting, secretly regretting that she could not resist her mother-in-law's words and brought Pang Shi to the Dou family.

"Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear you say this." Pang Yulou said lazily, "All you are the wife of the Wang family, so I am not the wife of the Wang family? You are a wealthy family, and I can't compare with you. But I married in the Wang family when they were in a downturn. I can't move the poor and humble, and I may not be able to go to the table like that."

The Gao family, who was born in the city, met Pang Yulou, who was born in the city, and it felt quite like a scholar met a soldier. It was not a major matter in principle. Gao family usually tolerated Pang's.

Wang Yingxue expressed that she did not want to leave the Dou family, which was a major event in principle.

Gao said patiently: "You are not the one who has never seen the world. Who would just keep your concubine straight?"
