Chapter 456: The Trouble with the Dowry

"If you can keep a normal mind and don't put too much pressure on yourself, you might get a pleasant surprise." If you already have some physical problems and you are under too much mental pressure and nervous, it will definitely be difficult to achieve what you want.

The sister-in-law was stunned after listening to Dai Qing's explanation. "What do you mean?"

"Take a seat." Dai Qing pointed at the little horse across from her. "What's your name? How old are you?"

"My name is Liu Yingzi, I'm 24 years old, and I got married on May 1 this year."

Liu Yingzi sat down and took a deep breath.

"I understand my mother-in-law's feelings. My mother was indeed a bit too much. She asked for a 2,000 yuan gift for my marriage. If my husband hadn't been so determined to marry me, the marriage would have fallen through long ago."

"Because of the issue of the bride price, my mother-in-law has always had opinions about me. After we got married, she kept urging us to have a child. We wanted to let nature take its course, but after half a year, there was still no movement in my belly. My mother-in-law got anxious and dragged me to the hospital for a check-up..."

It was no big deal to check it out, as they actually found the problem. They said that her fallopian tubes were in bad shape and were blocked. She needed treatment, otherwise the chances of getting pregnant would be very low.

It is also possible that you will never be able to have children in your lifetime.

When the mother-in-law heard the news, she was furious and scolded her in the hospital, saying that she deliberately concealed her illness and cheated for the betrothal gift.

Saying that their family is selling their daughter or something like that.

But this was the first time she knew of such a situation. She had never been to the hospital before and had never felt unwell. She never thought it would be so serious.

Dai Qing looked at her bitter face and smiled gently to reassure her.

Although she had some physical problems, the area around her phoenix pond was moist and surrounded by red aura, which was a sign that she would have a noble son in the future.

"Relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I think your condition is not serious. After the examination, you will be fine after taking some medicine for a while. The most important thing right now is to relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Liu Yingzi was stunned by Dai Qing's explanation. "I couldn't control myself. If I let my guard down for a moment, my mother-in-law would scold me."

Since getting married, she has been living under the same roof with her mother-in-law and has been keeping a low profile.

Even so, she couldn't escape her mother-in-law's cold words.

"After all, all this was caused by my mother's request for a dowry."

Dai Qing nodded. Most parents at that time favored sons over daughters. There were many parents who planned for their sons.

"I see your uterus is bright and radiant. Not only will you not die, but you will also have an excellent child by your side."

"Really?" Liu Yingzi's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"That's true, but your body does need medicine to recuperate. Do you want to go back to your parents' home to get the betrothal gift back for treatment?"

Even if she doesn't go back to ask for the betrothal gift, there will be a solution. But if she goes back to her parents' home to take back part of the betrothal gift, it can resolve the gap between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they will get along more harmoniously in the future.

After hearing this, Liu Yingzi's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

Since her mother had asked for the betrothal gift, she had no intention of returning it. Even if she went back to ask for it, she would probably just be scolded.

"My mother won't give it to me. She only has my brother in her eyes."

"Tell your mother about your health condition and tell her that you will be divorced if you don't have money to see a doctor. As long as your mother cares about you as a lady, she won't let you suffer."

During this period, housing was in short supply and married women had no place to live when they returned to their parents' home.

"Don't worry, you'll know some things once you try them."

If her parents really let her fend for herself, the focus of her future life can be completely placed on her own small family.

After all, during this period, despite verbal calls for gender equality, women were still at a disadvantage when it came to the daily necessities of life.

If I really get divorced, I won’t even have a place to be buried if I don’t work hard to buy a cemetery.

Hearing Dai Qing's reminder, Zhang Yingzi lowered her head and remained silent for a moment. When she raised her head again, her eyes became much firmer.

"You're right. I really need to go back to my parents' home and explain my situation clearly."

Ever since she got married, her mother-in-law has been teasing her, saying that her family can't afford it and that she can only live a good life by selling her daughter.

She knew she was in the wrong, so she endured it all the time and never went back to her parents' home to complain.

Now it concerns her second half of life, she really can't hide it. If she really gets divorced, she won't be able to go back to her parents' home.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master."

As she said this, she stood up, rummaged through her body, and finally found fifty cents. She put it in the box with a red face.

"That's all I have..."

"I just told you, it's free, take it." She thought it over and the anger between her brows dissipated a little.

"No need, I can just walk home." Liu Yingzi waved her hand and left embarrassedly.

Watching her receding back, Dai Qing sighed, fortunately her husband was a nice man who had been mediating between them, so she was lucky.

Flatten the wrinkled fifty-cent coin and press it under the stone.

He reached out and stroked Xiao Hei's head, "Did you hear me? It's so hard to live a peaceful life."

"Woo woo woo ..."

It was not known whether Xiao Hei understood or not. He rubbed her hand to please her, then lay on the ground, closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap.

Dai Qing held her chin up and looked up at the gloomy sky. The air was filled with moisture, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Looking at the fast-moving clouds in the sky, Dai Qing wondered whether she should pack up her stall and go home early. It would be a shame if she caught a cold in the rain.

Just at this moment, a young couple came towards us. They looked to be about 18 or 19 years old and were dressed fashionably, especially the boy, who was wearing a loose punk outfit.

A bit of a social ruffian.

Seeing the punk outfit, Dai Qing subconsciously thought of He Ning. The two people's temperaments were simply incomparable.

At this time, the boy frowned and yelled at the girl angrily.

"Since you like me, you should practice setting up a stall with me and make money with me. What's the point of going to school, you're just a nerd."

"But my mother won't agree to let me drop out of school." The girl felt a little aggrieved and wanted to hold the boy's hand, but he dodged her impatiently.

"Your mother, your mother, everything belongs to your mother. Since you want to be your mother's good girl, let's break up."

The boy snorted, shook her off and walked forward.

The girl stamped her feet and hurried after him, "I don't agree to break up."

"Then I'll give you two choices. Either you come with me to practice stall selling and make money, or you go home and be a good girl. The rest is up to you."

After giving the ultimatum, the boy strode away, leaving the girl standing alone under the road sign, anxiously waiting.

Dai Qing watched the girl stamp her feet anxiously. The two ponytails on her head swayed with her movements, making her look even more playful and cute.

"Little sister, stay away from the scumbag who holds you back. Anyone who doesn't want you to make progress has no good intentions."
