Just as Lu Xingxing was about to refuse again, she was interrupted by Lu Ruoling, who grabbed her hand and tried to persuade her.

"Xingxing, just keep it! Your aunt doesn't like to play tricks on others. If she wants to give something, she will give it sincerely. Your aunt is good to you, just understand it in your heart."

Her second sister-in-law also gave her an apartment in Beijing, so Lu Ruoling was not jealous at all. She just thought that this was her second sister-in-law's love for them.

Everyone wants to give them some protection and hope they live a good life in the future.

After hearing what her aunt said, Lu Xingxing nodded and accepted it.

Although Yang Niannian didn't have much contact with Xingxing, she knew that this girl was kind-hearted and not greedy. Guan Ailian had educated her children very well.

She pulled Xingxing forward and said, "That's right. We are a family, so don't be polite. Let's go! Whichever one you like, we'll take it."

As long as others don't scheme against her and don't rush to ask her for things, she is still very generous.

Lu Xingxing had never thought that her aunt would give her a house as a dowry. For them, this was simply impossible.

When other families marry off their daughters, the bride's family has to take even the betrothal gift, and at most they can give two quilts as a gift.

As soon as her sister-in-law opened her mouth, she gave her a Plum watch, and her aunt gave her a house. These were all expressions of love for her. She was so moved that she began to waver in her choice again.

You know, her husband's family was unwilling to buy her even an ordinary watch worth a hundred yuan, and Jianpeng even complained about being poor in front of her, saying that it was not easy for his parents to raise him, and promised to treat her well in the future.

She was too embarrassed to say anything else, so she agreed not to take the watch anymore.

Now that I think about it, it’s not that my husband’s family can’t afford it, but that they don’t want to give it. The money for buying a sewing machine is enough to buy a watch.

Seeing that she was about to get married, she quickly comforted herself not to think too much. If she didn't get married now, she would really lose all the face of her family.

The process of processing documents on behalf of others is very fast. It only took me one morning to complete some basic procedures.

Yang Niannian handed the room key to Lu Xingxing and said softly.

"Xingxing, I've bought you a house. You two can handle the trivial formalities and decoration. Just remember one thing: a house is not only a man's confidence, but also a woman's confidence. No matter what difficulties your family encounters in the future, don't sell this house within the next 20 years, understand?"

Lu Xingxing held the key and nodded heavily.

"Aunt, I remember it."

Lu Ruoling thought that the three of them might want to hang out like this again in the future, but they didn't know when, so she made the suggestion.

"Sister-in-law, let's go eat now? It's my treat today."

Yang Niannian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go!"

The three of them went downstairs together, and Lu Ruoling asked as they walked.

"Xingxing, do you know which restaurant in the city has good food?"

"Walk a little to the east and you'll find a good restaurant. Jianpeng took me there before." Lu Xingxing replied.

Yang Niannian asked casually, "I haven't heard from you yet, what job does he do now?"

Lu Xingxing told the truth, "He is also a teacher at the school, teaching mathematics."

Yang Niannian nodded and said "Oh". After the three of them went downstairs, they went directly to the restaurant that Lu Xingxing mentioned to have dinner. Then they took a bus back to the town and then took a ox cart back to the village.

The family had already had lunch and were busy in the yard making a new quilt for Lu Xingxing. Guan Ailian loved her daughter very much, so in order to get a good omen, she made six quilts.

This is the largest dowry in the area.

Seeing Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling coming back, she invited them to go into the house and rest.

"You guys take a break first. Later, each of you can take a needle and thread and sew two stitches to go through the motions."

Yang Niannian looked at the bright red wedding quilt printed with peony flowers and said, "These quilts are very beautiful."

Guan Ailian was happy when she heard Yang Niannian praising it for being beautiful. She thought that her sister-in-law had better taste than her. If her sister-in-law said it was beautiful, then it must be really beautiful.

Said with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's now. If it was a few years ago, there would be no time to prepare these things."

Yang Niannian entered the main room and didn't see Lu Shishen and others, so she asked.

"Where did Shi Shen and the others go?"

Guan Ailian, "I went to the orchard. I think I'll be back soon."

She picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to pour water for Yang Niannian, but found that the teapot was empty, so she said.

"Niannian, Ruoling, please sit for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to make some tea."

Lu Xingxing followed behind Guan Ailian and said.

"Mom, I'll help you light the fire."

They both went into the kitchen, and she rolled up her wrist to show Guan Ailian.

"Mom, look, this is the watch my aunt gave me."

Guan Ailian grabbed her daughter's wrist in surprise and looked at her. "Oh my god, your aunt bought you a Plum brand watch? How much does it cost?"

Lu Xingxing, "Almost four hundred."

Guan Ailian's eyes almost popped out, "Why is it so expensive? I remember your second sister-in-law didn't spend that much money on a watch. You weren't cheated, were you?... It's not easy for your aunt to raise two children in Beijing, how can you let her spend so much money?"

"The price has gone up now." Lu Xingxing hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Mom, my aunt gave me a house."

"What did you say?" Guan Ailian thought she had misheard. "Tell me again, what did your aunt give you?"

Lu Xingxing shrank his neck and spoke even more quietly.

"house."

Guan Ailian was so excited that she almost fainted. She guessed that her sister-in-law would also give something to her daughter, and she also knew that her sister-in-law was generous, but she never expected that her sister-in-law would give her a house.

"You want it?"

Lu Xingxing nodded guiltily, "Aunt said this is a guarantee for me after marriage. A house is a woman's confidence."

Guan Ailian said angrily.

"How can you accept such a valuable thing? This is a house."

Lu Xingxing said, "Mom, I didn't want it at first, but my aunt and my aunt said that this is a guarantee they gave me, and they hope that I will have a good life in the future."

Guan Ailian was so excited that she was incoherent. She was shocked at first, then warned seriously.

"...My God...Xingxing, if you don't obey your uncle and aunt, as well as your aunt and uncle, I will not recognize you as my daughter. Even if you don't obey me, you have to obey them."

Lu Xingxing nodded sincerely, "Mom, don't worry, I will never forget how kind they were to me in my life."

The conversation between the two was overheard by Ma Xiuzhu who was standing outside the door. She was so angry that she ran to the main room to settle the score with Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling.

He yelled as he entered the room.

"Are you two stupid? A watch costs hundreds of dollars, and you bought it for Xingxing. I won't say anything, but you even gave her a house? She's going to get married, and a married daughter is like spilled water. You gave her so many dowry things, and they will all belong to other families in the future, don't you know?"

"If you have this intention, you can buy more property for Tiantian and spend the money on him. In the future, all of them belong to our Lu family. What's the point of giving them to Xingxing? All the money will go into the pockets of outsiders."

Lu Ruoling didn't like to hear this. She was a woman and had a daughter. She was also planning to give her daughter a house as a dowry when she got married, just like her second sister-in-law.

So he retorted.

"Mom, although Xingxing will get married, she also has the blood of my brother and sister-in-law, and she is also a member of our Lu family. The house and the watch are hers. With these things, her in-laws will not dare to look down on her, and she will not be bullied in the future."

Ma Xiuzhu's eyes almost popped out and her saliva flew everywhere in excitement.

"This is a self-defeating act. Others will laugh at you for being stupid behind your back."

"He gave fifty yuan as a dowry and got a wife for free, and also got a watch and a house worth several hundred yuan for free. You'd wake up laughing even in your dreams. I always thought you were so smart, but you're all dumber than the other."

"Go and get the watch and the house back."
