Also, to save face in her husband's family.
Yang Shujue's eyes widened. "How can you be so sharp-tongued?"
"Am I wrong?"
Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at the married women present. "To put it bluntly, the truth is that the husband's family is taking advantage of the wife, while the woman is practically throwing herself at them."
This isn't directed at anyone in particular.
Think about it yourselves and see if that's the case.
Anyway, I feel that doing this is an insult to parents and a degrading act towards women.
"The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I felt."
Ye Rulan was a little uneasy. "No one has ever thought about this issue before. Now that I hear Jingyu say this, I feel ashamed."
The other married women nodded in agreement.
"Now I also feel that the husband's family should indeed thank the girl's parents when they marry her off."
Guo Jiayi looked at Lin Jingyu and asked, "Sister Jingyu, what about the dowry? Don't girls get a dowry when they get married?"
"How could there be no dowry?"
Lin Jingyu smiled slightly, "Everything I've worked hard for myself is my dowry."
Besides, my parents and relatives also contributed to my dowry.
"Jingyu means that if a girl wants a dowry, she should earn the money and save it herself."
Yang Shujue finally understood Lin Jingyu's meaning: "The greater the ability to earn money, the more generous the dowry will be, just like Jingyu's."
For an ordinary girl, being able to save up a few hundred or a thousand yuan for a dowry is considered quite good.
As for women who can save tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, there are some.
She relied entirely on her own abilities to accumulate her dowry.
How a woman spends the dowry she has saved up is entirely her own business when she takes it to her husband's family.
Jingyu, am I right?
That's exactly what I meant.
Lin Jingyu nodded, "When a girl gets married, her parents and relatives will give her some dowry, no matter how much or how little. It is a sign of their support and blessings."
In addition, even if she couldn't live a life of luxury in her husband's family home with the dowry she had saved, she wouldn't be left with nothing.
"Hearing you say that makes me even more ashamed."
Xu Jiaojiao said with a wry smile, "Not only did I bring back the betrothal gifts and dowry, but my parents also gave me a lot of money to add to my dowry, and I took it for granted that this was what I should do."
I'll return the betrothal gifts and dowry to my parents later. Anyway, I'm not short of food or drink, and even if something really happens to me, my parents won't abandon me.
