The next day, Shen's relatives called early in the morning, all about what happened the day before.

“Shen Laosan, let me tell you, this matter is not over. You have no idea how outrageous your good son-in-law is.”

“He pretends to be harmless, but in reality…” said Shen’s second brother.

"I'll make you pay the price, just you wait."

The family was having dinner when Qiuqiu, sitting in her seat, heard everything. Shen's father looked at everyone awkwardly.

"I have nothing more to say to you. I will definitely take care of what is my responsibility, but don't think about anything else."

"As for your greedy demands, I certainly cannot agree to them. Don't contact me again. You'd better watch yourselves," Mr. Shen said before hanging up the phone.

"Don't mind it, I've come to terms with it now. I've thought it through for Xiaoxue's future."

"Uncle, what are you saying? We're all family."

Qiuqiu thought to himself, "It seems they still haven't learned their lesson. But that's fine too. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they'll do next."

"Xiaoxue, we still need to take wedding photos in the next few days. My parents have booked a photographer for us and also asked the two of us to try on wedding dresses."

“Okay, I understand. You set the time. I’m not busy during this period,” Xiaoxue said.

After Qiuqiu left, Shen's father and mother said, "Xiaoxue, all these betrothal gifts will be sent to you as part of your dowry. Oh, and this is what your mother and I prepared for you."

"Mom and Dad, you don't need to prepare anything for me. I don't need anything."

“This is different. This 100,000 yuan is all the money that your father and I saved up. We were planning to give it to you as a dowry when you get married. This is also to give you confidence.”

“However, I did not expect you to marry into the Guo family. These things were originally quite a lot, but they are not enough for the Guo family at all.”

"This is what your mother and I feel too. As long as you're doing well, we're at ease."

"Dad, please take it back. Xiaohan is still young and needs money a lot. I can't accept this."

“Xiaoxue, just listen to your dad. None of your sisters-in-law are simple. Although our family isn’t as powerful as theirs, I think you’re just as good as them.”

Seeing her parents' earnest expressions, Xiaoxue was so moved she almost cried; these were all expressions of her parents' care for her.

She finally understands why her parents disagreed with her decision back then; they had simply taken things for granted.

The two families are too different. Although the Guo family members are all very good, the disparity in various aspects is a huge pressure.

"Alright, stop crying, you're still acting like a child," said Mother Shen.

"I'll always be a child in front of my parents," Xiaoxue said with a smile.

On the other side, Qiuqiu left the Shen family's house and immediately called Xiao Kui.

"Is there anything going on with them today?" Qiuqiu asked.

"I just went out and asked around. They must have gone to the newspaper office," Xiao Kui said.

“Ha, well, what I told them really went in one ear and out the other, how funny,” Qiuqiu said.

"It seems they're still not satisfied, so naturally I won't hold back."

Qiuqiu made a few phone calls directly; there were some things that didn't require his direct involvement.

The next day, Shen's father's phone rang again. He glanced at the caller and hung up immediately.
