"Xiaohe, your mother-in-law gave your sister-in-law a dowry of 10 taels of silver. Aren't you angry?"
An auntie pulled Shi Xiaohe aside and stirred up trouble.
Shi Xiaohe shook her wrist.
“My mother-in-law just bought me this bracelet, isn’t it pretty? I love it so much! Auntie, why don’t you have anything on your wrist? Did your mother-in-law not buy you anything? You’re so unlucky, unlike me who’s so lucky to have such a wonderful mother-in-law. I’m not talking to you anymore, my mother-in-law is calling me.”

He completely ignored the aunt's muttered curses.
The wedding banquet has ended.
After the guests helped clean up, they went home in groups.
We set up two tables today, both in the front yard. To prevent the roses from being exposed, we specially fenced off the back yard with bamboo rafts to keep people from looking around.

Jingshui is a kind-hearted girl, and I have a good eye for people. She's much better than Wenjuan. You chose this marriage yourself, so you two should live a good life together from now on, understand? I want you to be happy. I gave her the dowry and bought her a wedding dress all for you, silly boy. If I don't give her the dowry, what will you do when Jingshui gets angry at you later when you're a loving couple and the topic of the dowry comes up? Alright, go and be with your wife. Don't keep Jingshui waiting."
