She will never again be without a warm coat in a cold winter;

No longer has to worry about waking up to be told that her second brother couldn't persuade her parents and she would not be able to go to school anymore;

No longer have to worry about being married off by your parents to a widower who can afford a high bride price;

Don't worry, even after you get married you can't get rid of the Li family and will have to work like a slave for them all your life.

It is said that marriage is a woman’s second life and a new beginning.

She had no choice in her first reincarnation and was forced to accept all the misfortunes brought by her original family;

But in this second reincarnation, she had a choice and was able to choose. What she said to Jianshu Pan Ning was also sincere. If she didn't feel that Qi Jianan was the right person for her, she would never choose to marry him.

She didn't want to escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den, putting herself in a dilemma.

Looking at the concerned eyes of her two friends in front of her, Li Li was completely relieved.

She went through hardships in the first half of her life, but she also had a second brother who loved her, a second sister-in-law who loved her as well as her family, and two good friends who understood and appreciated each other. There was still a hint of sweetness in the suffering.

In the second half of her life, she will not only have a second brother, a second sister-in-law, and good friends, but also a partner to spend her life with, and blood-related children. She will have a home that truly belongs to her.

"It's okay. If they don't want to give the dowry, then don't give it. Anyway, I got the watch back from them, so I didn't lose much." Li Li comforted the two.

Pan Ning looked at Li Li with a look of dismay. "You're so stupid! If you enter the Qi family with nothing and no dowry, how are you going to live? How will your parents-in-law view you? How will Qi Jianan view you?"

No matter how open-minded you are, you can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Who would be willing to spend a high price to marry a wife and then not get any dowry?

"Don't worry, I've thought it through. I still have some money, and I'll use it to buy some things for myself. Adding it to the dowry my second brother gave me, it will be enough." Li Li expressed her plan.

Nowadays, except for those families who love their daughters very much, other families don’t give much dowry when marrying off their daughters. Basically, they give part of the betrothal money as a dowry, and add some quilts and daily necessities, which is enough.

Pan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it a bit too little? After all, the Qi family gave a lot."

Otherwise, why do so many people pay attention to marrying someone of equal status? This is one of the reasons. Unequal family conditions can also easily lead to conflicts.

Knowing that she was doing it for her own good, Li Li patiently explained it to her.

"Although the betrothal gifts from the Qi family were large, I have 400 yuan. The bicycle is at his house, and I also got the watch. These are equivalent to taking them back home. Together with the things I bought myself, the amount is no worse than that of other families.

Besides, I can't possibly compare with the betrothal gift offered by the Qi family. Our conditions are different and we can't compare. The Qi family also knows my family's situation. If they cared about this, I wouldn't have married Qi Jianan.

Besides, I still have a job, and the salary and benefits at our company are very good, so I still have a great advantage in this regard."

Li Li knows her own limitations and knows that she can't win. She won't try to be brave and do things beyond her capabilities.

After listening to the entire Jianshu, I felt relieved to see that Li Li was clear-headed and organized.

As long as she maintains her current state, she doesn't have to worry about any problems after marriage. She can choose the most correct path for herself.

But I remembered one thing and I still have to remind you.

"It's fine as long as you have your own opinion, but Lily, remember, you can't let outsiders think that your dowry is given by your parents, okay?" Jian Shu stared at Li Li seriously and said.

Li Li was stunned after hearing this. What did Shushu mean?

After a while, he reacted and said, "Shushu, it's a good thing you reminded me. When the time comes, I will give all the prepared things to my second brother and use them as my dowry in his name.

Otherwise, outsiders will think that this is the dowry my parents prepared for me, and I will be really sick if that happens.

My second brother split up the family business a long time ago. It was quite an ugly incident, and everyone nearby knew about it. This way, they wouldn't think it was a dowry given to me by the Li family."

The Li family took the betrothal gift but didn't give a penny of dowry. She couldn't let them take advantage of her and gain a bad reputation.

If others thought that the dowry was given by them, it would really be a compliment to the Li family. They were shameless and had to bear the consequences of their shamelessness. They deserved to be pointed at and gossiped about.

This will only benefit her in the future and not harm her. After marriage, she can justifiably reject the Li family's request. After all, she was "sold" by them, wasn't she?
