After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Chapter 459 Father Yun objects

The lady was so angry that she almost laughed, "Dowry, mother, why didn't you tell me to find a way to get me a dowry when I got married?"

"My lady, it was different back then. I didn't have money then, and I couldn't borrow any."

"Yes, mother, you really can't borrow it, and there is no money at home, but, mother. Don't forget that you took the money from Daniu's family, and there are many other things. Adding these together, it's not a simple matter. Don't think I don't know."

Kuju knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not answer the lady's question, but continued to ask, "What are your preparations for your sister's dowry?"

The lady didn't want to be taken advantage of. "It's no use telling me about this. I can't be the head of this family. I can't make the decision."

"You may not be the head of the household, but you are responsible for all the expenses. If you are willing, the money that leaks from your fingers would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for many years."

"You've been married for so long, and Daniu has been so good to you. Your mother-in-law dotes on you, and you're in charge of the household. You should have thousands of taels of private money in your hands."

The lady was furious when she heard this, "Thousands of taels, mother, do you think I went to rob? Thousands of taels. Why didn't you say tens of thousands of taels?"

"Mom, why didn't you tell me that I brought hundreds of taels of silver to the family when I married into the family?"

"The expenses of my brother's family are all known, and they are roughly the same every month. My mother-in-law has to check the accounts and look at them carefully. I don't have any private money at all."

"I have no right to interfere with your wish to prepare a dowry for your elder sister. You can prepare it with your own money."

Kuju immediately cried out, "I don't have any money."

"You don't have money, but do I have money? I'm telling you, I don't have money either. If you really can't come up with money, you can marry your elder sister just like you married me."

"Mother, you have made a good calculation. You took the betrothal gift but are not willing to prepare a dowry of a copper coin for your second daughter."

"You are really our good mother."

After the lady finished speaking, she walked out of the room and saw Da Niu standing at the door.

The lady panicked, "Da Niu, why are you here?"

Kuju found that Daniu was already at the door, so she didn't know what to say and just left. It would be bad if the matter got out of hand. As long as the lady was still in the Wang family, I could keep making money. If Daniu divorced the lady because of me, my own cash cow would be gone.

Who told the lady to give birth to a money-losing baby? Up to now, there has been no movement in her belly.

The lady looked at Daniu at a loss, and stammered, "Daniu, you heard everything."

"I will let bygones be bygones. Next time your mother comes to our house to get money, as long as it's not for retirement. You don't have to give her so much. Our family is short of money now, and we can ask for someone to go to the imperial capital in the future."

"Now we have to be very frugal at home."

After saying this, Daniu walked away without even looking at the lady.

The lady was so regretful, and Daniu was unhappy. He had given his mother so much money and other things, and Daniu had heard everything.

Old Man Yun, who was hiding behind, originally came to see what the mother and daughter were talking about.

As a result, he not only heard the gossip, but also found out that his daughter was going to the imperial capital. The word imperial capital seemed unfamiliar to the old man. He hadn't been there for decades, and now that he thought about it, it should have been more than 30 years.

Old Man Yun immediately ran to Yun Tao.

"Tao'er, I heard you were going to the imperial capital."

Yun Tao was happy today and spoke more cheerfully, "Dad, it's not me who wants to go to the capital, we should go to the capital together."

"Together, you all have to leave. You don't want to keep the workshop in the village anymore."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I definitely want it. This is my base camp, how can I not want it? I'm going to the capital to do business. It's not like I'll be gone forever and never come back."

"No, you can't go."

Old Man Yun said this in a decisive tone, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Dad, are you kidding me? You've been at home for so many days, you should have realized that I'm the one taking care of all the household affairs. The three brothers are not ready yet. Their wings are not yet fully grown. When they are fully grown, I will naturally come back to this village to retire."

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Just focus on my third brother."

"Tao'er, listen to Dad's advice. We are not going to the imperial capital for any reason. Dad is doing this for your own good."
