Chapter 98: Do women who are getting married for the second time want a dowry?

The three of them were embarrassed when they saw Su Jiaojiao.

Gao Meifeng then remembered that Su Houli had given the house and land to Su Jiaojiao. Since they were given to Su Jiaojiao, it made sense for them to come back for the New Year. In other words, Chen Guilan also came back.

Thinking of this, Gao Meifeng felt a little blocked in her heart.

At that time, she had no idea about his family's house. She just thought that rural houses were worthless, so she gave it to him. If she gave him the house, she would not have to pay child support. Su Houli could wholeheartedly help her support Xue Yuxin's studies. Who knew that their houses were actually next to each other? If she had known this, she would not have brought Xue Yuxin here.

Su Houli did the same, he didn't even tell her in advance.

I'll settle the score with him when I get back!

But because it was the New Year and Gao Meifeng was visiting Su Houli's house for the first time, she restrained her expression and walked forward without looking around. Xue Yuxin held her head high and followed Gao Meifeng with confidence. Her mother was no longer a mistress, and she was not in the wrong in front of Su Jiaojiao.

Su Houli didn't expect to run into Su Jiaojiao head-on. He looked a little embarrassed and kept looking back to fiddle with the big cardboard box on the back seat of his bicycle. The big cardboard box had been filled with New Year's goods and was shaking all the way and was about to fall off.

Su Jiaojiao glanced at them, said nothing, pushed the door open and went home.

Aunt Wang just came out with a smile on her face: "Jiaojiao, your mother is enjoying a good life in the city. She's gained some weight and become whiter."

"My mother is very beautiful." Su Jiaojiao was not modest at all.

"You're becoming more and more sweet-talking." Aunt Wang laughed and left.

After entering the house, Su Jiaojiao said to Qin Shuang and Chen Guilan, "My dad is back, and he brought me and my daughter back with him."

"They're here for the New Year?" Qin Shuang understood and looked at Chen Guilan. "Didn't it be nice to spend the New Year at home with your children?"

Qimei Garment Factory has business dealings with Jiali Garment Factory, and Gao Meifeng knows her.

That woman was okay at work, but not at home. She was definitely not a thrifty person. Once, Qimei Garment Factory held a dumpling-making competition, and she also went. She saw that Gao Meifeng couldn't even make a dumpling.

Su Houli was bewitched and gave up Chen Guilan to marry that woman.

"Who knows!" Su Jiaojiao said to Chen Guilan again, "Mom, don't be unhappy about this. If you are unhappy, I will be unhappy too."

"It's New Year's Day, why shouldn't I be happy? I'm very happy." Chen Guilan smiled, put on her shoes and got off the kang. "Jiaojiao, you and your Aunt Qin can go ahead and pick the dumplings. I'll go downstairs and prepare the dumpling filling. We'll make them this afternoon."

"Where did you go just now?" Qin Shuang asked her.

"I went to my second uncle's house and gave my second aunt and cousin a down jacket each." Su Jiaojiao took off her down jacket and went to the kang to pick peanuts. Qin Shuang smiled and said, "It's great that we are close and can take care of each other."

"Yes, when we're not home, it's my cousin who comes over to help clean up the yard." Speaking of Chen Juan, Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but praise her, "My cousin is so nice, she treats me like a real sister."

"I believe this." Qin Shuang nodded. "Just look at your mother. If anyone doesn't get along with your mother, it's definitely not your mother's fault. That includes me. If I ever have an argument with your mother, it's definitely my fault."

"Aunt Qin is being modest." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "According to what you said, I make mistakes every day."

After chopping the stuffing, Chen Guilan started to knead the dough, fry peanuts and melon seeds, and fry meatballs.

Qin Shuang and Su Jiaojiao also joined in the kitchen, lighting the fire and helping out, and were very busy.

The custom in Wutong Village is to eat two meals on New Year's Day.

One meal in the morning, no lunch, one meal at four or five in the afternoon, and then on New Year’s Eve, we eat dumplings, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and stay up until the first day of the first lunar month.

Men have to do one more thing than women, which is to visit the graves and pay homage to their ancestors.

Gao Meifeng is from Jiao County and she knows this custom.

I had just eaten when I came here, so I wasn't hungry.

Su Houli and Su Houde packed up and went out to visit the graves. Xu Yuxiang pulled Gao Meifeng to talk on the kang, and Xue Yuxin sat on the kang to listen. Feng Yuefen and Su Cuicui were busy in the kitchen, kneading dough, chopping stuffing, cooking, and they were almost busy.

Feng Yuefen becomes unhappy when she is busy.

How could a second-hand girl pretend to be a new daughter-in-law? When she came, she just sat on the kang as a guest and didn't even come down to help her cook. She had no foresight at all. She thought to herself that when she was chopping meat, the chopping board made a loud noise. If it weren't for the fact that they had bought her so many New Year's goods, she would have scolded her long ago.

Su Cuicui was not happy either.

When she went to Su Xiumei's house yesterday, Peng Shumei was also there, being affectionate with Liang Kun.

Su Xiumei still treated her like a nanny, asking her to wash apples and vegetables. The more she thought about it, the angrier and more humiliated she felt. Her eyes turned red unconsciously. Why?

"It's great that you can come. Don't despise our house because it's small and can't compare to your house in the city." The more Xu Yuxiang looked at Gao Meifeng, the more satisfied she became. Gao Meifeng was dressed similarly to Su Xiumei, and she looked like a city girl. She also looked younger than Chen Guilan. Xue Yuxin was quiet and gentle, as well-behaved as a kitten, unlike Su Jiaojiao, who was sharp-tongued and annoying.

"They're all the same, our yard is even smaller." Gao Meifeng was disgusted, but a smile was on her face. "All the houses in the village are like this, but ours is pretty good. It's so clean."

There is a custom in Jiao County that married daughters cannot return home for the New Year.

In previous years, she and Xue Yuxin lived alone in the rental house. Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, the mother and daughter felt very uncomfortable.

It’s finally lively this year.

As for the size of the house, it doesn’t matter since she doesn’t live here anyway.

Xue Yuxin curled her lips after hearing this.

Her mother was lying with her eyes open. How could it be clean? She knew they were coming but didn't even bother to clean up. There was a thick layer of dust on the windowsill, especially the toilet. She was so scared that she didn't dare to go there.

"It's not easy for you and Hou Li to be together." Xu Yuxiang smiled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened. "I wonder when you plan to do it?"

"Let Houli decide on this!" Gao Meifeng felt a little embarrassed by her question. "We're not in a hurry."

Their family didn't say anything.

Just urge them to do the work, and get something for nothing!

"Aren't you the same age as Houli, both 39?" Xu Yuxiang blurted out her true feelings without hesitation. "You'll both be 40 after the New Year. Men of that age are fine, but it's a bit late for women to have children, so we have to hurry."

Gao Meifeng: “…”

Good, she said this old lady was so enthusiastic, so this is what she was thinking!

You have nothing, and you still want her to have a baby? Xu Yuxiang thought Gao Meifeng was embarrassed, so she said nonchalantly, "Why should I be embarrassed? We've all been through this, and we're not little girls anymore. I'd rather have a baby sooner rather than later. I'm still strong and can still take care of your child. In a few years, I won't be able to have children anymore."

Xue Yuxin became even angrier.

Let her mother give birth to the baby whether she comes or not?

She didn't know how to fight back, so she unconsciously started scratching the wall of his house, breaking it, and dust fell off as she scratched.

"Auntie, it's too early to talk about this now. If you want to have children, you should at least get married first, right?" Gao Meifeng was already married, not a young girl. She said bluntly, "I think you should discuss how much dowry to give."

"What, a betrothal gift?" Xu Yuxiang was stunned and said loudly, "You are a second-married woman, and you still want a betrothal gift?"
