Chapter 464 Bought a bridal sedan chair
Not only Wang Guifen's family was discussing what gifts to send, but other families were also discussing after learning the news.
On the 20th, Hu Wenhua brought back a sedan chair, causing a sensation in the entire Shanshui Village.
The sedan has no complicated carvings, and only uses vermilion-lacquered rattan to make the seats, steps, doors and windows. It has a bright red mattress and a bright red curtain inside, and the outer curtains and door curtains are also red cloth;
The curtain covering the sedan chair is embroidered with auspicious patterns such as rich flowers and auspicious clouds. For wealthy people, it could not be simpler, but for people in Shanshui Village, it is a luxury that they have never thought of!
A cart costs one tael of silver, a donkey costs more than twelve taels, and this sedan, which the girl only rides once in her life, costs twelve taels!
Twelve taels of silver can buy a donkey and a cart, which can be used to buy a sedan chair. Everyone was amazed and circled around the sedan chair to watch.
The men lamented Hu Wenhua's willingness, and most of them thought it was not worth it. The woman carefully touched the wood and the bright red fabric, with envy and regret in her eyes;
The young girl's family is full of expectations.
Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang and others also came over. They looked at the sedan and the expectant eyes of their own girl. They gritted their teeth but still held back from speaking.
"Is there anywhere to sit? Our village is only so big. It only takes a few steps to get there, and you can walk there even with a hijab. Isn't this a waste of money?"
Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this, right? "Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth and shouted loudly.
Then he said proudly: "I walked by myself, I just needed someone to help me with my hijab! Haha, I saved twelve taels of silver at once. Dazhu really made a lot of money!"
Fan Dazhu's eyes were cold and there was no hint of joy on his face.
If he had known that marrying such an ugly, thin woman would be vulgar and cruel, he might as well have married into the Ding family!
At least Ding Jiajia is fair and good-looking.
He looked at Ding Jiajia, who had delicate skin and red cheeks surrounded by people in the sun, regret flashing in his eyes.
Hu Wenhua stood in front of Ding Jiajia calmly. His mountain-like figure immediately blocked the delicate figure, and he looked at Fan Dazhu with sharp and fierce eyes.
Fan Dazhu was caught peeping, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He avoided Hu Wenhua's cannibalistic gaze and hid behind Zhang Chunhua.
Zhang Chunhua thought that Fan Dazhu agreed with what she said, so her face became more and more proud, and her voice became louder: "What can you do with twelve taels of silver? It's really worth buying this thing!
I'm right, don't you think so? "
Aunt Li was reluctant to spend twelve taels of silver to buy a sedan, but she knew it well enough not to talk about it, especially when it was not someone else but her eldest daughter-in-law who acted as a matchmaker!
Liangliang asked at that moment: "Chunhua, you said Dazhu made a lot of money, but what about the twelve taels of silver you saved when you didn't buy it?"
Zhang Chunhua's expression changed again and again.
She didn't buy it, but she didn't save twelve taels of silver, because they had no silver at all!
Not to mention that it hadn't happened before, even in the past few months, I haven't saved any money from making toothbrush handles. Other families have saved money, but theirs has not.
Just because Dazhu didn't want to do it, she had to cook and wash clothes and didn't have much time to do it. Second Pillar and Third Pillar were often lazy, complaining every three days that their legs hurt and they couldn't do it. She didn't understand what their legs were doing when they made things with their hands. thing!
As for Si Zhu, he is needed for feeding chickens, fetching water, and vegetable fields. Especially when serving the two old ones, there is not much free time at all. However, despite this, Si Zhu turns out to be the best and most accomplished person in their family, and he also earns a lot of money. The one with the most!
However, they don’t raise rabbits, ducks or geese. They only have black flour as food. The money they earn must first be used to improve their food.
Food is the most important thing for people. If you don’t make money to fill your stomach, what fun would there be? Of course you have to buy, buy, buy!
Aunt Zhang looked at her niece coldly and reminded: "Actually, you can't say that I'm crazy. To us, twelve taels of silver is a lot, but to others, it might just be like us spending three hundred coins."
Three hundred coins is Xiaocao's ten days' wages. In the past, she would have been reluctant to take it out, but now everyone in their family can earn money. The two people of Taurus and Silver Bull who go out can earn two hundred coins a day! Three hundred coins is the two of them's wages for a day and a half.
The two of them exchanged a day and a half's wages for their sister's once-in-a-lifetime sedan chair. How could the brother be reluctant to part with it?
Even if she doesn't use the gold and silver ox, and she is a mother, she still earns money now, which is almost half a month's salary. She is still willing to let her daughter sit for a while. She didn't sit on it back then, and now her daughter can sit on it. For this money It's worth the money spent.
Zhang Chunhua didn't think so. She looked sideways at the eldest uncle, with a mocking smile on her lips: "The eldest uncle has such a big tone. She can speak so easily even if she sits down for three hundred words!"
Aunt Zhang took a deep breath and asked Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia: "Wenhua, Jiajia, after you get married, can this sedan be used by my family, Xiaocao, when she gets married?"
Auntie, I won’t let Xiaocao sit in vain, I will pay three hundred, no, five hundred yuan! "
Zhang Chunhua's eyes widened and she felt that her aunt was crazy and was trying to make her look fat just to save her face.
Hu Wenhua did not respond, but immediately turned to look at Jiajia, who was blocked behind him.
Ding Jiajia was still blaming Wenhua for being too reluctant. When she heard that Aunt Zhang was willing to pay 500 yuan to let Xiaocao sit on the wedding day, she immediately understood why her parents were so happy and looked even more excited than she was. .
As a mother, do you all want to see your daughter get married in a glamorous manner?
Her eyes fell on Aunt Zhang's face and she nodded gently: "Okay, it's empty anyway. Sister Xiaocao and I are familiar with each other, so we don't have to pay silver."
Aunt Zhang disagreed and insisted on paying.
Ding Jiajia had no choice but to agree: "Okay, but it doesn't have to be 500 coins, 200 coins will do."
Most people in the village can easily take out 200 coins, and it can also allow more people to ride in the sedan chair.
When she heard 200 coins, Aunt Li raised her hand first and said generously: "I will also reserve one day for my Tiantian, I will go back and get the copper coins!"
Aunt Zhang was unwilling to lag behind and said anxiously: "I will not only reserve it for Xiaocao, but also for Jinniu, Yinniu, and Tongniu, the three daughters-in-law who have not yet married!"
Jinniu, Yinniu, and Tongniu looked confused. When did they have daughters-in-law who have not yet married? Why don't they know?
Aunt Zhang glared at the three of them and said unhappily, "If you don't have one, it means you haven't married yet. Maybe if you order a bridal sedan, a girl will be attracted to you."
Golden Bull, Silver Bull, Bronze Bull: ..... We are not well-educated, mother, please don't lie to us.
When the others saw that Aunt Zhang had even ordered a daughter-in-law who had not yet appeared, they all raised their hands.
Some ordered for daughters, some for daughters-in-law, and the scene was very lively.
After a while, they counted and found that thirty were ordered, almost covering all the eligible men and women in Shanshui Village. One was two hundred coins, and thirty was six taels of silver.
The bridal sedan just came back, and it has already paid back half of the investment?
And Zhang Chunhua didn't expect that among the eligible men and women, except her, other girls in the village could get married in a bridal sedan!
Even girls who married in from outside could get married in a bridal sedan!
Why? How could girls from outside be as precious as her, a native girl.
