Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu stopped his preparations to leave, glanced at the Madame Dai who had not moved yet, and said: ”Cousin is staying for the guest, we should have stayed.

It was only this morning that his wife was unwell. After the family doctor had examined her pulse, he actually said that her wife had suffered too many sins since childhood and needed a good rest as well as a good rest.

By the time we left the house, preparations had already started. This time, when we returned, we would be able to eat. After lunch, your wife can also rest for a while. ”

Xu Shiqiu's words were neither rushed nor slow, and the tone of his voice was extremely normal, but Dong Lei, who was listening to him felt his face burning in panic.

He understood what Xu Shiqiu meant. He was blaming the Dong Clan for treating Dong Shu poorly.

Shu'er's health was not good, so it was naturally they who had not taken care of her!

He originally wanted to keep the guest here, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.

After he pondered for a moment in his heart, he said to the Madame Dai who was still unwilling to cook: ”Since Third Young Master Shu'er is not eating at home, then mother will let Shu'er have that little rooster back. That little rooster nourishes the body the most, and Shu'er likes to eat it too. ”

After saying this to his mother, Dong Lei then looked somewhat embarrassedly at Xu Shiqiu and said, ”When Shu'er got married the other day, your family sent over four pieces of muslin as well as two sets of silver jewelry.

Shu'er brought along two pieces of muslin and a set of silver jewelry and left. This time, we still have two pieces of muslin and a set of silver jewelry at home.

As he spoke till here, Dong Lei's face looked even more ashamed. He truly did not think that not only would his mother ask for twenty silver coins from Xu Family in an extravagant manner, she had even deducted half of Dong Shu's dowry.

When Xu Family sent the things over, he had made it very clear that his cousin's parents had passed away early.

But his mother had secretly taken half of it.

Dong Lei also understood that his mother did it for him and his sister.

However, the twenty taels of silver given by the Xu Family was enough for the servants of the rich families in the town to pay about ten taels of silver each.

He only had a broken leg and would be able to recover in three months.

The silver for marriage, as well as his sister's dowry, he could earn them with his own hands!

Xu Shiqiu never thought that Dong Lei would actually take the initiative to mention these things before he even had the chance to speak of them.

He carefully sized Dong Lei up. Seeing that the Madame Dai was forced by the look in Dong Lei's eyes to bring the rooster over, he couldn't help but shake his head and say, ”Cousin doesn't need to be like this.

Xu Shiqiu was not willing to take the Dong Clan's little rooster, but after hearing his words, Dong Lei supported himself with a wooden stick and dragged his broken leg forward a few steps. After almost falling down, he finally arrived in front of Dong Shu.

After snatching the little rooster from his mother's hands and stuffing it into Dong Shu's hands, Dong Lei said, ”Shu'er, you've married a good husband. An Xin and the Third Young Master will be living together. Once the Cousin's legs are healed, I will go earn some money to make up for your dowry! ” These words, Dong Lei's words were filled with energy.

Of course, this was also what he meant from the bottom of his heart.

Dong Shu had not spoken a word since Cousin had spoken. Only when Dong Lei had her father bring out the muslin and jewelry that his mother had hidden and put them in her hands did she slowly nod her head.

Thinking about how Cousin had once secretly stuffed his with malt candy and pancakes, she blinked his eyes at him and said: ”Then Cousin you should rest more as well. Rest early and come visit me when you have time to rest your legs.”

After saying that, Dong Shu turned to Xu Shiqiu and said, ”Hubby, let's go.”

Seeing that Young Girl's expression was slightly sad, Xu Shiqiu decided to quickly bring him back.

He had originally intended to interrogate the Dong Clan, but after seeing how upset Young Girl was and how understanding he was, he decided to wait and see.

In the future, if everyone in the Dong Clan acted as did, he would only treat this family as ordinary relatives for the sake of the Young Girl.

But if this Young Girl dared to bully him again, he would settle old and new debts together!

Dong Shu didn't know what her master was thinking, but she wanted to quickly return home so that she could properly rest and prevent him from worrying again.

However, at this moment, the sound of the Dong Clan's quarrel came from behind the two of them.

”The things that I mentioned about Xu Family are all for you and your sister, but you actually gave them back just like that!”

Obviously, Madame Dai was talking to her eldest son, Dong Lei.

”I understand Mother's thoughts, but the silver that I received from Xu Family is already enough for me to look at my legs, so those things should belong to Shu'er.

I want to get married and I'll make it myself. My big brother will also earn Miao Er's dowry.

But mother, you should not be ignorant about the things that the Xu Family has sent over!

Since Shu'er has married into the Xu Family, she is already a lowly person, yet you still have an inkling of her dowry.

A woman's dowry is her confidence! ”

After Dong Lei finished speaking, Uncle Dong Shu's persuasive voice came from the courtyard.

The noise in the Dong Clan Residence was not quiet. Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu could still hear them after they had walked for more than ten steps.

Dong Shu felt awkward, and felt slightly embarrassed to talk to her husband.

However, Xu Shiqiu felt that his idea just now was wrong.

Originally, he pitied Young Girl and wanted to ask about helping him vent his anger.

However, seeing the Young Girl acting in such an awkward manner, he decided to give the Dong Clan another chance.

However, when he heard Young Girl's aunt's words again, he wanted to turn back, but was worried that doing so would cause Young Girl to look even more embarrassed.

Regardless of the Dong Clan, he was still worried about Young Girl.
