...
I stayed at home for five days.
The Wen family is planning to come and pick her up tomorrow.
"Go back to the Wen family tomorrow, and take the betrothal gifts with you."
Zhang Yuxuan then took out a bankbook and handed it to her, saying, "The bride price is ten million yuan, given to you by your in-laws. Take it back with you."
"Mom, I won't take the betrothal gifts back with me. They are my way of showing my respect to you and Dad."
Lin Jingyu pushed the passbook over, saying, "If I were to take it away, I would be truly heartless and have no regard for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child?"
Lin Chuyan frowned. "The betrothal gifts and dowry from the Wen family are all for you. Apart from what you gave us, your mother and I can only give you one million as your dowry."
"Dad, Mom, you don't need to give me a dowry. I will keep the ten million yuan betrothal gift for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but scold, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat?"
"Our family isn't struggling financially, so why should we ask for your betrothal gifts and not give you a dowry?"
"Dad, Mom, please listen to me first."
Lin Jingyu gently comforted the two, "I don't care whether other families bring back the betrothal gifts or not. The bride's family still needs to contribute a large sum of money to the dowry to take back to the groom's family."
I certainly couldn't do that.
In my heart, all of this should be left to you, as your retirement money.
You lovingly raised me and worked hard to nurture me into a successful person. I remember everything you have done for me.
You love me and are willing to give everything.
Now I'm married and have left my parents' home to become someone else's wife.
The fact that my in-laws are willing to pay betrothal gifts and dowry to marry me represents their gratitude and appreciation to you.
Instead of sending it over today as betrothal gifts and expecting me to take it back to their family tomorrow.
In my opinion, it's no different from getting something for nothing.
It's like you're giving away your daughter, whom you raised, to someone else to have children, and then expecting you to pay a huge dowry to support her.
I know this is because you parents love your daughter and are willing to give everything for her.
And I love you all the same.
I hope my in-laws will give me the bride price and betrothal gifts as a way of thanking them for raising me.
Otherwise, how could they have married me, whom you raised, as their daughter-in-law?
(This is just my personal opinion, please don't criticize if you disagree!)
