Chapter 13: dowry

In a blink of an eye, September 13th is an auspicious day.

Before dawn, Li Haitang was called by Mrs. Liu, and then two women came to the room, and they took her naked and threw her into the bathtub, and washed her inside and out three times.

Li Haitang was very ashamed, but he couldn't twist his thigh with his arms, so if he cooperated with his mother-in-law, he would suffer less.

"Haitang, don't take it to heart."

Taking advantage of the time when the two women were out on business, Mrs. Liu entered the door with a bowl of sugar water and eggs, and said in a low voice, "Officer Qin is a respectable person in the town, and he cannot be cuckolded, so we must check whether he is perfect or not." .”

Thinking of the mother-in-law's actions just now, Li Haitang almost cursed. She is now a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others, completely unable to resist.

Mrs. Li promised her that she would bring her younger brother Li Jinhu back on the day of her marriage. She was simply fooling around. Up to now, she hadn't seen her younger brother.

Mrs. Liu saw that her niece's face was not looking good, and continued to comfort her, "Business also requires payment of money and goods, and it's nothing but a medical examination."

Li Haitang completely lost his patience and didn't bother to play around, so he said bluntly, "Auntie, women have a dowry when they get married, where is my dowry?"

"This…"

Mrs. Liu curled her lips. It sounds nice to say that it is a marriage, which is essentially a business. Of course, the family will not prepare a dowry for Li Haitang. The embroidered shoes and wedding dress on her body were sent by the mother-in-law of the Qin family. The Li family did not even prepare a chicken feather. .

"You married into Qin's family, is there anything good about it? Wearing silk and satin clothes, embroidered with beautiful flowers, even if our family is a dowry, it would be embarrassing to take it out."

Mrs. Liu quickly realized, found an excuse, and wanted to marry Li Haitang as soon as possible, lest she still occupy a room. The room was tidied up and used as a boudoir for her daughter Qiu Ju before she got married.

"Then what about the little package Mrs. Xu gave me?"

Li Haitang was not surprised at the reaction of everyone in the Li family. She sneered in her heart. She could take a little now. Yesterday, my uncle said that those two boxes of wound medicine were worth at least a few taels of silver. She fled into the mountain, so things like wound medicine had to be prepared.

In two days, Li Haitang did not move at all. She stole a dagger and carried flint, toilet paper, and a little salt stolen from the stove with her. Have the conditions for survival in the wild.

In fact, if you go to the town and then run away, it's not impossible. It's just that Dahong's happy clothes are obvious, and she will be arrested soon. Besides, if she leaves the village, it means getting married, even if she doesn't value fame, But I also don't want to disgust myself for no reason.

"Here's this for you."

Everything was stolen by Mrs. Liu, and she had already made that piece of red silk into a bellyband. Last night, she lit the incense and fell in love with her man. Can old clams produce pearls. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Moisturized and in a good mood, Mrs. Liu took out a small box of wound medicine and handed it to Li Haitang, "You can take this!"

"Uncle, did you embezzle what Mrs. Xu gave you?"

Li Haitang's eyes darkened, and suddenly thought of something, she smiled slightly, her voice was neither soft nor hard, and there was a hint of threat, "If I tell grandma..."

"Don't..."

Liu's eyelids twitched. According to the stingy temperament of the old lady of the Li family, she knew that she was hiding something, and she had to go back to her mother's house. Seeing that life is getting better, she must not be caught in the wrong place at this juncture. .
