Chapter 395 He can’t

"Why?" Xiao Yuan asked in surprise, "Sister, he is really talented. He was able to pass the exam from a poor peasant family, endure hunger and hardship, and pass the exam. This shows that he is indeed very smart.

And he is also very resilient. "After a pause, Xiao Yuan added, "And, I heard that he is also a very filial son."

"He is smart and resilient, which I agree with very much. Also, he is a filial son. We have no way of verifying the real situation, so I just believe it for the time being. He is a filial son. But what does this prove? Does it mean that he will be a good husband? No way?" Hua Lei asked back.

“Since these advantages cannot prove that he will be a good husband, then all his advantages are not plus points for me.

On the contrary, if he is not a good husband, he is so smart, and when he wants to torture me, he will have more ways to make me suffer, right?

You have to know that when a couple gets along, there will always be times when they disagree, and conflicts will arise. If he were a little dumber, he wouldn't be able to think of any tricks to torture me.

But he is very smart, he can come up with many tricks to deal with me, which is not a good thing for me, right? And, as you said, he is resilient. It is very likely that he will take longer to deal with me.

Three to five years, months and years, he has come up with all kinds of tricks to deal with me, and then it is very likely that I will live a life worse than death, right? " In order to get rid of Xiaoyuan's urging to get married, Hualei has started to talk nonsense.

"Sister, how can you think like that? What you said could happen if you marry anyone. If being smart is a disadvantage, would you still want to marry a fool?" Xiao Yuan was not fooled.

"Besides, Brother Zhou has read the books of sages for so many years, how could he be such a vicious person? He is a filial son, which shows that he is a person with pure character, kindness and love," Xiaoyuan tried to persuade Hualei.

Hua Lei nodded and said, "Well, you are right. A person who is filial to his parents should not be a vicious person. But think about it, if I marry him, when his parents and I have a disagreement, who do you think he will protect?"

After looking at Xiao Yuan, Hua Lei paused and continued, "He is a filial son. I guess he will definitely protect his parents. Then I will be alone in their family. Will my life be easy?

Even if you can help me knock on the door, you can protect me for a while, but can you protect me forever? If my parents-in-law are harassing me, you may not be able to say anything. After all, they are your elders. "

"Sister, there will definitely be big and small problems between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. No matter which family you marry into, you will have parents-in-law. Do you want to marry an orphan?" Xiaoyuan was equally quick-witted.

"Although Brother Zhou is a filial son, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love his wife. What you said is wrong. Besides, if your parents-in-law are right, you should listen to them."

"What if what they say is wrong? Or what if they use filial piety to pressure me? For example, my husband's family is too poor and they want me to use my dowry to support them. Tell me, should I take it or not?

If I don't take it, my parents-in-law will definitely be unhappy. There are so many people in the family, and they have to eat from one meal to the next. It's impossible for me to live a luxurious life alone, right? If I take it, Zhou Pengfei's family is so poor that they can't even have enough food to eat. Then no matter how much dowry I have, it won't be enough to make up for it.

You also said that he himself is not married, whether he has a betrothal gift to marry me, let's not talk about it for now, let's just say I am married. He has younger brothers and sisters who are also going to get engaged and married, and they will definitely need a betrothal gift and dowry when they do.

If my parents-in-law ask me to take some money out of my dowry to help them out in an emergency, should I take it? If I take it, then when I give money to one brother, can the other brothers and sisters not take it? They should also take it, right?

I've seen it. He has six brothers and sisters, and his uncles and aunts haven't split up, so with cousins, there are seventeen of them in total. Only six of them are married, and the rest will cost a lot of money to marry."

Hualei pointed at the family members on the rice paper and showed them to Xiaoyuan, saying, "If I have to take out the dowry for everyone who gets married, how can I have enough dowry for so many brothers and sisters?

Even if it's enough, there are still a lot of nephews and nieces below? Do you think I should take it out? Also, his grandparents, parents, all want me to spend money to be filial to them, right? That's fine, as a grandson's wife, a son's wife, I should also be filial to them.

But what if their uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts, or even married aunts ask me to spend money to support them, do you think I should give it to them?

If I don't give it, my grandparents and my parents-in-law will think I am unfilial and ungenerous and dislike me. If I give it, will I have enough dowry to supplement it?

If I give them all my dowry, it would be good if they say good things about me. But if they are ungrateful, then when will I be free? You know, once you get involved in this kind of thing, it is very difficult to get rid of it.

Don't forget, my second uncle has been bothering my grandfather since he got married. He has been bothering my grandfather all his life. Even after my grandfather passed away, he still didn't let me and my sister go. He even chased us to the capital.

Zhou Pengfei's family is even poorer than my second uncle's family. Moreover, there are so many people in the family. As long as there is a person like my second uncle, as a daughter-in-law of the younger generation, my life will be endless. What do you think, can I marry Zhou Pengfei?"

Seeing Xiao Yuan's increasingly solemn expression, Hua Lei stopped talking.

Xiao Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, Brother Zhou is also good at making money. He won the second place in the imperial examination, and the emperor rewarded him with two thousand taels of silver. Moreover, he is now working in the Imperial Academy and also receives a monthly salary."

Hua Lei nodded and said, "Yes, but this is just a one-time reward, not every year. Moreover, these two thousand taels of silver do seem to be a lot, but if everyone in their big family gets a share, it won't be much.

And you also said that the 200 taels of silver he used to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination were given by his clan, so should he pay it back when the time comes? Should he do a favor?

At that time, we may have to invite the whole family to a feast, give some money to the elders in the family as a token of filial piety, which is also a considerable amount of money. We can also build a big brick house at home, buy some clothes, shoes, socks, beddings, etc. for each family member, and there won’t be much left.”
