Since they were traveling by car, the group returned to the courtyard first.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, the delivery cart arrived at the courtyard.
As a result, everyone rushed forward and quickly unloaded everything from the car.
Grandpa was overjoyed to see so many dowry items.
"This is wonderful! If this were in the countryside, even if it were the village head's daughter getting married, it wouldn't be such a grand affair."
“Grandpa, you’re mistaken. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, such a dowry is probably rare.”
Yu Li added with a smile as she looked through the things.
It wasn't that she was jealous; in fact, Yu Li was quite shrewd!
Although my sister-in-law's marriage seems glamorous on the surface, it's a one-off deal. From now on, she'll have absolutely no say in anything in this house.
You have to understand, Sun Dajiang and his wife have worked so hard for so many years, they must have saved up so much. After the old couple passes away, all of this will surely go to the two brothers.
"That's right, that's right. It's only because she has two generous sisters-in-law. If she had encountered some unreasonable women, there would have been no chance."
Grandpa's words were a way of praising his two granddaughters-in-law, and then he asked about his grandson.
"Zhengguo, why don't you just deliver these things to the courtyard house? What are you doing keeping them here?"
"Grandpa, this was all arranged by Mom. She said she wanted to give Zheng Hong a surprise."
Upon hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Grandpa also fell into deep thought.
Yes! Our only granddaughter is getting married, what kind of surprise should we two old folks give her?
The day after buying the items, Sun Zhengguo gave Zhou Weimin a brief heads-up at work, without going into too much detail, only telling him that he didn't need to buy anything, and that he only needed to contribute some money to hold a banquet.
Zhou Weimin was aware of his brother-in-law's abilities and was willing to pay for the purchase.
Sun Zhengguo could tell with his bare hands that this was definitely his sister's doing again, and in the end, he could only reluctantly agree.
Time flies, and it's already the day before his sister's wedding. Sun Zhengguo took two days off for this, and he happens to be home today.
But to his surprise, people from the countryside also came. They were his second uncle, Sun Dahe; his maternal uncle, Lin Wenjun; his maternal grandfather, Lin Hong; and his aunt, Sun Xiaoying.
When the people arrived, he learned that they had all come after being notified by his grandfather, and that they had all prepared gifts.
“Zhengguo, I know that Zhenghong is getting married. You two older brothers have already prepared dowries. We don’t have anything good, so we’ve prepared some of our last treasures.”
After Grandpa Lin Hong finished speaking, the group began to take things out.
Grandpa prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. No one knows where he found them, but the Sun family ancestors never had such high-end items.
As for the other few, it seemed like they had all agreed beforehand, and they all had the same type of silver dollars. Sun Zhengguo didn't count them, but there must have been dozens of them in total, and the cost must have been considerable.
“This…?” Sun Zhengguo looked at the items on the table, somewhat embarrassed.
"Take it! It's not like it's for you, why are you making a fuss? This is something Zheng Hong has kept hidden away."
When Grandpa saw Sun Zhengguo dawdling, he immediately scolded him.
Forced by his grandfather's tyranny, Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to obediently accept these things.
At noon, to thank the group, Sun Zhengguo brought out several jars of his aged homemade wine and let them drink their fill.
However, knowing they had important business to attend to in the afternoon, they didn't drink too much.
After lunch, Sun Zhengguo borrowed a cart from nearby and loaded all the dowry items onto it, preparing to send them back to the courtyard house.
After all, my sister is getting married tomorrow, and I can't let a surprise delay the important event.
After packing their things, the group headed towards the courtyard house in a grand procession.
Can you imagine the destructive power of a vehicle like this traveling on the road?
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of passersby, Grandpa and his group were overjoyed, and were just short of grabbing a gong and shouting their wares again.
Slowly, the group arrived at the courtyard house. The old women at the gate had never seen such a scene before, and a group of people surrounded them.
"Jung-guk, is all of this your sister's dowry?"
When the woman asked, Sun Zhengguo didn't hide anything and simply nodded.
"My goodness! How much will this cost?"
The woman started counting on her fingers, but she was bad at math and couldn't figure it out. Even if she broke her fingers, it wouldn't help.
"No need to calculate, this truckload of stuff, if you include the tickets, will probably cost at least 1,000 yuan."
Seeing her clumsy appearance, Aunt Yan next to her directly gave a reasonably reasonable number.
But this only refers to the items already in the car; the most treasured items are not included.
"Ladies, please make way so we can move our things back."
Sun Zhengguo had no intention of showing off his treasures at the door. As he spoke, he began carrying things into his house.
At this moment, Lin Wencui and the others, having received the news, all ran out of the courtyard.
However, Lin Wencui didn't expect that her father would also come; it was truly an unexpected surprise.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone started moving things, while Sun Zhenghong, who was standing to the side, looked completely dumbfounded.
She never expected that her two older brothers and sisters-in-law would do such a big thing behind her back.
Sun Zhenghong didn't get a chance to help until everything was moved, and then she followed everyone into the courtyard, feeling dizzy.
When she got home, she saw the house filled with her dowry and still couldn't believe it. It was as if she were living in a dream. She was afraid that when she woke up, it would all be for nothing.
"Sis, snap out of it. See if you're satisfied with these things."
Seeing his younger sister still standing there in a daze, Sun Zhengguo teased her.
"Brother, I...? I always trick you, why are you still so good to me! Waaah! Brother, I thought you all abandoned me, waaah..."
Seeing his sister sobbing uncontrollably, Sun Zhengguo stepped forward, wiped away her tears, and then gently comforted her.
"When did I ever say I wouldn't care about you? This is just to give you a surprise. Come on, wipe away your tears, there's more surprise waiting for you!"
"Waaaah! Brother, you're trying to trick me again! Isn't this surprise big enough? Is there an even bigger surprise?"
As Sun Zhenghong spoke, she began wiping away tears, then waited for the surprise her older brother would tell her.
"Hey! That's more like it. You're getting married tomorrow, so you can't cry anymore. Smile first, and I promise you a surprise."
"Hehehe! Is this okay now?"
Seeing his younger sister's expression, which looked more like a grimace than a cry, Sun Zhengguo decided not to tease her anymore.
Instead, they handed her the things that her grandfather and the others had prepared to keep hidden away.
"What's inside?" Sun Zhenghong asked, holding the heavy little box in his hands.
"These are gifts prepared for you by your grandpa, maternal grandpa, second uncle, and aunt. Do you like them?"
After listening to his elder brother's words, Sun Zhenghong looked at his relatives with gratitude before opening the small box.
"Waaaaah... Waaaah...!"
Seeing the gifts inside the box, Sun Zhenghong felt a pang of sadness and started crying again.
In her eyes, these were not gifts, but rather the profound love her family members had for her.
