The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 603: Pei Yuan Gets Married (3)_1

Sun Xiujin, hearing her intentions, firmly disagreed, "If you’re looking for me, find someone better! Even if I have to be a concubine!"

She had already been married and was divorced back to her family; her reputation was ruined, and it was impossible to find someone better. Even if she were to become a concubine, those wealthy families preferred young and beautiful girls! The eldest daughter-in-law pursed her lips, saying no more. Wasn’t it nice to marry a honest man and lead a simple life? She should hurry up and get married steadily, so it wouldn’t affect her own daughter, Tingyu’s marriage too much! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Miao’s sobbed with Sun Xiujin and urged her to trust the matchmaker who was helping them find a match.

There were no consorts from wealthy families, but there were widowers unable to find a wife who wanted a stepmother for their children, and there were also poor and lazy men who made a heap of demands for a dowry, which infuriated Lady Tian to no end.

In Liu’er Alley, Pei Qin was already preparing to marry off her sister.

Pei Yuan’s wedding garments were being embroidered, and several sets of clothes were made. Some that had no time to be embroidered were bought from Capital Jingcheng.

The clothes and fabrics, the dowry jewelry, and the silver saved in the chest were all prepared by Pei Qin early on. She also bought a shop for her dowry, "If you want to do something on your own, it’s convenient. If not, you can just rent it out and collect the rent. As for the land, it’s on that hill in Qinghe Town. After tidying it up a bit, it can be planted with sweet potatoes and sunflowers, and that’s another source of income."

"This is too much, big sister! My dowry is already plentiful!" Pei Yuan refused. A shop alone cost more than a thousand taels of silver to buy, and that hill had more land than Taiping Mountain by several dozens of acres, also worth several hundred taels of silver.

"The more income you have, the more confidence you get. When you speak, you’ll be firm, whether you’re outside or at home, no one will dare to bully you! It also gives me peace of mind," Pei Qin said with a chuckle.

Pei Yuan’s eyes instantly reddened, "Big sister... I have confidence! And I know kung fu, no one will bully me! With you around, no one dares to bully me!"

"Be obedient! Anyway, our family has plenty of money, let’s divide some between us first, and the money earned later can be shared with the Little Radishes!" Pei Qin rubbed her head.

All these dowry items had been brought to the Zhao Xiaochen family, and it was uncertain whether they would swallow her dowry. Thinking of this made Pei Qian’s complexion darken, "Second sister, be shrewd! All this dowry, once it’s in their family, if they ask you for money or for you to buy things, don’t be foolish and let them trick you! This money is the hard-earned result of our hard work! It can’t be squandered on outsiders!"

"I’ve already received enough items. Maybe I shouldn’t take the shop and the hill!" Pei Yuan looked at Pei Qin.

"Keep what’s given to you! We still have more! But you can’t act like a Money scattering child!" When Pei Qin bought the shop and the hill, she had put them directly in her name.

Pei Yuan’s tears could not help but well up.

Mo Heng also said, "The larger your dowry, the stronger your backbone. Keeping it will also give your big sister peace of mind."

Pei Yuan wiped away her tears and nodded.

When Old Scholar Fang and the others came to add items to the trunk, they were shocked at the list of Pei Yuan’s dowry. Their brother and sister had only sold soy sauce and sweet potatoes, and even though they had made quite a bit these past two years, it could not have all been used for Pei Yuan’s dowry!

Seeing their expressions, Pei Qin casually explained, "I went into partnership with Shen Songming on a business venture, received some dividends, and they came in handy for providing Pei Yuan’s dowry." She gave a bit more of the silver saved in the chest—three hundred taels—as she did not spend much and whenever she needed silver, she could come home and take it anytime.

"What business did you do that was so profitable? Why didn’t you say earlier, so we could have joined in!" Fang Li complained with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

"Then, you should work hard these next two years and save more money. In a couple of years, I’m planning to start a different venture. You can invest, and I’ll give you a share then," Pei Qin said with a laugh.
