Although Mr. and Mrs. Liu didn't care about dowry, they were happy that their future in-laws valued their daughter.
Moreover, judging from her daughter's appearance, she doesn't seem heartless.
Since the two are in love, they won't try to separate them.
"Alright, let's wait until they arrive before we talk about it."
The couple exchanged a glance. They had already prepared the dowry when they arrived. All they had to do was wait for their future in-laws to come, then hold a banquet and get their marriage certificate.
There were too many people and too much noise here, so the three elders got up to go back. Qiao Yu quickly followed them to see them off.
Liu's parents did not refuse, but they also needed to give their son-in-law some instructions in private.
After they all left, Bai Yajing took out the gift she had prepared for her.
"We're all family here, so nothing bad will get out of you. I've prepared a dress and shoes for you to wear on your wedding day. Try them on and see if they fit!"
When she pulled out a dark red wool coat, Liu Meiling's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wow!!!! So beautiful!!! So gorgeous!!! I love it so much! Ya Jing!! Thank you!"
She took the coat, hugged it tightly, and looked completely blissful.
Bai Yajing chuckled, "I knew you'd like that! Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so of course it has to be grand and beautiful!"
Then, she took out a pair of handmade little leather shoes and handed them to her, saying, "They'll look really good together! Try them on!"
Liu Meiling's eyes lit up again and again. She carefully put down the coat and then took the little leather shoes and touched them again and again.
"These...these are all imported goods, right?! Bought from a foreign exchange shop???"
"Waaaaah, Ya Jing, you're so sweet! These two pieces are so expensive!!! They must cost almost three hundred each!"
She was born and raised in Kyoto, so she naturally knew how precious these two gifts were!
Bai Yajing laughed heartily, "You are my best friend. Even under such difficult circumstances, you put aside your work and came to the countryside to inform me. This sincere friendship cannot be measured by any amount of money!"
Over the years, their relationship has grown deeper and deeper.
How fortunate it is to have a friend in this life who would risk their life for you!
Liu Meiling was so moved that she burst into tears and snuggled into her arms again.
"You saved me too, so wouldn't you say we're mutually benefiting? Hehehe..."
She did not reject her sister's kindness; she would only repay her with even more sincere feelings.
Bai Yajing chuckled to herself, "Isn't that a two-way street?"
“Tell me, what’s going on with Qiao Yu? I haven’t seen you mention him much in the letter.”
Liu Meiling blushed.
"Hehehe, that's right, he's been pursuing me for years, and I've slowly fallen for him too."
But our relationship has nothing to do with him. I'm writing to you, and I don't even have time to finish explaining my own things. I also have to ask you about things over there. I'd be lucky if I could take him with me a few times.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, but rather that she herself was still somewhat conflicted about her relationship with Qiao Yu, so she hadn't told Bai Yajing.
I've decided to accept it seriously, after mentioning it to my sisters.
Bai Yajing could tell from her expression that she wasn't faking it, and that she actually liked Qiao Yu, so she was relieved.
"It's good that you weren't forced. Qiao Yu is a good person. I feel at ease entrusting you to him."
I will continue to keep an eye out for jobs for you in Kyoto.
Liu Meiling stopped her, saying, "I wanted to tell you this when you wrote to me about it before."
Your situation isn't much better either. Let's play it safe. Things are still chaotic right now, and jobs are even harder to find!
"Qiao Yu and I are well taken care of by the villagers in the countryside, so we can live quite well. But if we go back to Kyoto, since neither of us are only children, we'll definitely be targeted!"
