Liu rubbed her chin, seeing that her niece didn't look like a troublemaker, but her eyes were bright and cunning, piercing to the bottom of her heart, which immediately made her embarrassed.
Li Haitang was about to get married and leave, so he couldn't make trouble at this critical juncture.
"Your uncle and I used some of that spice, it's not too much..."
Liu blushed and explained that there were actually some more, but after being married for many years, it was the first time for her to be so happy, just like the feeling of being a grown-up girl, she finally enjoyed it for a while, and asked her to hand over the spices, but she absolutely refused.
"Uncle, it is said that when a woman gets married, she has to keep money on her body. I don't have a single coin, so I always feel uncomfortable."
Li Haitang only had the token left by her mother, which was valuable, but he couldn't sell it easily, otherwise it would be difficult to get to his grandmother to recognize his relatives.
Time was running out, so she cut straight to the point with only one purpose, asking for money.
The family's economic power is in the hands of the old lady of the Li family. However, Mrs. Liu knows how to exploit and takes advantage of the Qin family. She must have savings in her hands.
"I do not…"
Just as Liu was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted by Li Haitang, "Auntie, I know you have a baby on your back and you are hiding silver, so I don't want too much, just give me five taels of silver."
Li Haitang's mouth is five taels, this is Liu's limit, if there is too much, Liu would not give it to her face.
"Three taels, I don't have five taels."
Liu's heart hurts. When a son marries a daughter-in-law, it is all money from the family, but the daughter is different. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Qiu Ju is married. She is not very capable as a mother, but the money at the bottom of the box is indispensable.
"Five taels, uncle, you can't miss a copper plate."
Originally, Li Haitang was just probing. Seeing that Mrs. Liu was actually bargaining, she had some calculations in her mind, and Mrs. Liu would definitely be able to get the five taels of silver.
"Uncle, think about it, if grandma knows that you have hidden money..."
Say half of it, leave the other half, and the meaning of the rest is self-evident. Li Haitang likes to threaten people with his handles, let out a bad breath, and don't cheat Liu's cheating anyone!
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay the marriage of our members, or you won't be able to eat, so go around!"
There was a lot of noise outside the door, the carriage to welcome the relatives came, the member of Qin felt cold occasionally, so he didn't come in person, but sent a servant to do it for him.
"Okay, but this matter, you have to rot in your stomach."
If she ruined the happy day, the Liu family would become a sinner of the Li family. She wasn't afraid of Li Haitang's speaking out, but worried that something would happen. If the problem happened to her, it would be bad luck!
Adding up all the private houses in her hand, there were about eight taels of silver, and Mrs. Liu carried all of them with her. After thinking about it, she couldn't commit a crime at this juncture, so she reluctantly took out her purse from her sleeve pocket, counted five taels of silver, Give it to Li Haitang.
Mrs. Liu felt very uncomfortable. Firstly, she felt sorry for Yinzi, and secondly, she did not expect to be tricked by her niece Li Haitang. In her heart, her niece was just like her honest parents, who would not say anything when bullied.
"On the big day, who are you going to show with a straight face?"
Mrs. Li opened the curtain, and when she entered the door, she saw Liu's bitter face, and she was furious immediately. If she went out like this and was seen by the servants of the Qin family, it would be bad luck for nothing.
"Mother, I don't want to part with Haitang."
Mrs. Liu rubbed the center of her brows, and didn't have time to worry about the little money. She was afraid that the shrewd mother-in-law would see the clues, so she defended herself, "It's Qiuju's turn to marry Haitang, my mother..."
