"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Yuxuan was both amused and exasperated. "What would it look like if we accepted betrothal gifts and dowry? Take them all back and don't leave them behind."

Over the years, you've given your father and me so much money every year. We'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of our lives, so we don't need to leave anything that belongs to you.

What's rightfully yours, is yours. Let's not make a spectacle of ourselves.

"Watching a joke? Who's watching a joke? Whose joke are we watching?"

Lin Jingyu's expression was calm, but her tone carried a hint of arrogance, "Even if I don't bring anything to the Wen family, no one will say a bad word about me."

Mom and Dad, I was absolutely not joking when I said we should keep the bride price and betrothal gifts.

In my opinion, if my in-laws want to marry me, then they must leave these things to my parents.

This is their way of thanking you.

I can bring my own private property with me when I marry into the family; this will be my own dowry.

In my opinion, the betrothal gifts and dowry they sent belong to you.

If we were to take her back, I would feel it would be an insult to you and me, like sending our daughter home for nothing, or even worse, paying her off.

I'm not that lowly or despicable. Of course, you'll have to pay a price if you want to marry me.

You love me so much that you can give me a dowry, whether it's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, it's just a small token of your affection, like pocket money.

Of course, the property under my name belongs only to me and cannot be left to you, and I hope you won't mind.

"Your ideas are truly unique."

Lin Chuyan thought about it carefully and then decided not to refuse. "Since you say so, we will accept the betrothal gifts and dowry from the Wen family."

However, you should accept the one million yuan we'll give you as a dowry.

As you said, it's your allowance.

No matter how many businesses you own, they are all earned through your own hard work, and therefore, they are your own dowry.

We will not covet your property.

"It doesn't matter to us whether we accept it or not."

Zhang Yuxuan frowned. "We don't covet the betrothal gifts and dowry from the Wen family. We're just afraid of what others will say about you."

"If they dare to say this in front of me, I'll make them question their existence."

Lin Jingyu scoffed, "Besides, with my dowry, how many women in the world can compare to me? Mom, you can rest assured."

Only if I'm willing to be bullied can others bully me; if I'm not willing, no one can bully me.

"You decide what to do."

Zhang Yuxuan knew her daughter was telling the truth, so she stopped insisting on her own point of view.

Although there was no wedding ceremony, her relatives all gave her gifts.

The parents contributed one million yuan to the dowry, the eldest brother and sister-in-law contributed two hundred thousand yuan, and the younger brother Lin Ruinan contributed one hundred thousand yuan.

Her maternal grandparents contributed 500,000 yuan to her dowry, and her eldest, second, third, and fourth maternal uncles each contributed 10,000 yuan.

My cousins ​​contributed a total of 50,000 yuan to the dowry.

Lin Jingyu received nearly two million in dowry money.

There were also various pieces of jewelry given as gifts by elders, worth around a million.

She did not refuse these gifts and will repay them in the future as a favor.

the next day.

The Wen family members came again.

Not only did Grandpa Wen and his wife Wen Jianguo come again.

Also present were Wen's second uncle and aunt, third uncle and aunt, and Wen Yunwei's family of three, who had already married, all joining in.

It can be said that the Wen family showed great sincerity and gave the Lin and Zhang families plenty of face.

After everyone gathered together for lunch.

Lin Jingyu got into her parents-in-law's car and they returned to the Wen family home together.

"Jingyu, you should rest well for two days."

Guo Ruozhi carried her luggage and led her to Wen Lechun's bedroom.

The place has been completely rearranged according to Lin Jingyu's preferred style. "Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't, we'll change it to something you like."

"That's great, thank you, Mom."

Lin Jingyu expressed her gratitude.

She could tell that the decorations were arranged in the style of her home in the south.

I have to say that my mother-in-law is indeed very thoughtful.

"I'm glad you like it."

Guo Ruozhi nodded with a smile, "Let's see what else is missing and quickly send someone to buy it."

"No rush."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "It's not too late to buy it when you need it."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you're comfortable."

As Guo Ruozhi helped her pack her luggage, she said, "Your second and third uncles' children will also be coming over this weekend. You can all get to know each other then."

"OK."

Lin Jingyu took the clothes out of her duffel bag and asked, "Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"unnecessary."

Guo Ruozhi gently shook her head, "Your second uncle's eldest son is married and has a three-year-old daughter."

My daughter and youngest son are not married yet, and they are looking for suitable partners.

Your third uncle's daughter got married four years ago and had a son. She should be coming back soon.

My two sons are younger and are currently in university.

They have a good temperament and aren't petty people.

You can contact them then.

If you feel you get along well, then communicate more; otherwise, if you don't see eye to eye, there's no need to force yourself.

Lin Jingyu nodded in agreement, "I will."

"As for my family..."

Guo Ruozhi smiled slightly at her, "I should have taken you there to meet the elders, but given your current situation, it's better for you to stay home and rest during your pregnancy."

My cousins ​​and their spouses are all busy with their own things, so I didn't invite them over.

"Mom, it's my turn to meet the elders first."

Lin Jingyu said softly, "It's really not convenient for me to visit right now. I hope the elders won't mind."
