Lu Ruoling nodded, wiped her tears, and followed Yang Niannian downstairs.

Lu Qingyuan and his wife, as well as Lu Guozhi, all had tears in their eyes when they saw Lu Xingxing getting married, but Ma Xiuzhu was the only one smiling like a flower.

Still trying to make his presence felt.

"Xingxing, now that you are married, you are a member of the Guo family. You must be filial to your parents-in-law and be a good daughter-in-law who understands their parents' needs. Don't bring shame to your family."

Guan Ailian was so angry, what was she saying?

If it weren't for the fact that her daughter was getting married, she would have had to argue with her mother-in-law.

Lu Xingxing also felt uncomfortable and sniffed.

"I understand, grandma."

Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling also came over at this time. When they saw the groom lowering the curtain of the sedan chair, they felt mixed emotions.

According to Ancheng customs, only the eldest uncle went to see the bride off, while others did not go and could only watch the sedan chair go away.

Guan Ailian could no longer hold back her tears as she watched the bridal sedan leave. Lu Qingyuan felt sad too, but he still tried to comfort his wife.

"My daughter will get married sooner or later. Don't be sad. She will be able to come back to see us in a few days."

Ma Xiuzhu curled her lips and said sarcastically.

"What's there to be sad about? What girl doesn't want to get married when she grows up? If she really can't get married, you will be worried."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" said Lu Guozhi.

Ma Xiuzhu snorted and shut her mouth obediently.

The relatives gathered together to comfort Guan Ailian, and after the bridal sedan had gone away, they returned home. The scene, which had been lively and bustling at first, suddenly became deserted.

Ma Xiuzhu was holding a broom and sweeping the floor as she spoke.

"When a new bride comes into the house, it's a lively time. It's not like a daughter's wedding. When she leaves, the family home becomes deserted."

No one paid any attention to her. Everyone went back to their rooms to pack up their things and went back to the main room to discuss Lu Xingxing's return.

According to custom, a grand banquet will be held at home on the day Lu Xingxing returns home.

Lu Guozhi knew more about family customs, so he was the one who took charge and everyone else did what he said.

Two days passed in a flash. Early in the morning on the day of the return visit, Lu Shishen drove his car and took Lu Tiantian to Director Zhou's house to pick up his sister.

Looking at the entire Ancheng, no country person can afford a car. Their actions really made Lu Xingxing proud.

As soon as they left, Director Zhou became unhappy and started to complain with a long face.

"What's their intention? Are they trying to intimidate our family? Are they trying to show off their wealth right under our noses?"

Father Guo glared at her and said unhappily.

"Stop talking, my daughter-in-law has only been married for a few days, don't make trouble."

Director Zhou retorted.

"I'm looking for trouble? Who can I look for trouble with? My daughter-in-law hasn't even washed a bowl since she came into the family. She's like a living Buddha. Who can compare to her?"

Her eldest daughter took the opportunity to ask.

"Mom, I heard that the Lu family gave Xingxing a house as a dowry. Is it true?"

Director Zhou said with disdain.

"That being said, who has seen what the house looks like?"

Director Zhou's eldest daughter's eyes flashed with calculation, "I saw that when she got married, she was wearing a Plum brand watch on her wrist. That watch cost several hundred yuan. Didn't you buy it for her? Could it be that Jianpeng bought it for her secretly?"

Director Zhou replied, "It was given as a dowry by her aunt."

She had noticed this watch a long time ago and even asked her son about it.

Director Zhou's eldest daughter looked envious, "The Lu family is really rich. It would be great if I were the daughter of the Lu family."

When she got married, not only did she not have any dowry, but the betrothal gift given by her husband's family was also taken away by her parents.

Director Zhou said unhappily, "They have a good family, you are not destined to be reborn there."

The eldest daughter was not angry, but hugged her arm and asked coquettishly.

"Mom, I heard from Pengfei that my sister-in-law's family gave her a dowry of 500 yuan. Is that true?"

When Director Zhou heard this, he turned around and went into his son's room and started searching through all the drawers and cabinets in the new house.

The other side.

The Lu family held a banquet, and the yard and the main hall were full of people.

After the banquet, when all the guests had left, Lu Guozhi asked the chef to cook two more tables of food to entertain his family and relatives who came to help.

After dinner, the men were busy cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, and returning the borrowed tables and chairs. Lu Xingxing chatted with Yang Niannian and others upstairs about family matters, talking about what happened at her in-laws' house over the past two days.

"I feel that their home doesn't have as good an atmosphere as ours, and it's not convenient to live there. There are only three tiled houses in his house, and the west one is used as our wedding room. Everyone else lives in the main hall and the east room, and there is no privacy at all."

Over the years, the Lu family has been living better and better. Lu Xingxing already has his own room and lives in a three-story house.

Now that I'm married to my husband's family, the whole family is squeezed into three tiled houses, which is really crowded.

Fortunately, her aunt gave her a house. If she didn't have a house, she might have lived in the school dormitory during the holidays and would not want to go back to her husband's home at all.

Guan Ailian knew that it was because their family conditions were better that other people’s houses seemed crowded. Her daughter didn’t live there all the time anyway, so she wasn’t worried about it, so she explained.

"Don't interfere in their family affairs, and don't interrupt. If there is anything, let them discuss it with their family. If your mother-in-law dares to bully you, come back and tell me, and your grandmother and I will help you vent your anger."

Although Ma Xiuzhu is a confused person, she is not a bad person. If Xingxing is wronged, her mother-in-law will definitely not let Director Zhou off easily.

Lu Xingxing nodded obediently, "Mom, don't worry, I won't be a soft persimmon and just accept it. I'm at home, you all love me so much and gave me so many things as a dowry. If I bring so many things to someone else's house and suffer, I'll be too sorry for you."

Hearing this, everyone present laughed out loud.

Lu Ruoling praised.

"As expected of my aunt's great niece, she is so smart."

Yang Niannian asked thoughtfully, "Did you lock the door when you came back?"

Lu Xingxing shook her head, "I don't have the key to their house yet."

Lu Ruoling slapped her thigh and said, "Oh no! Could it be that your mother-in-law broke into your room and stole all the dowry money our family gave you?"

It's no wonder that Lu Ruoling thought too much. She had encountered such a thing before. At that time, all the betrothal gifts were in the hands of Ma Xiuzhu, and she only had a little private money given by her sister-in-law, which was all taken away by that bad family.

Fortunately, her second sister-in-law took charge and took her to Haicheng, where she met Li Fengyi. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what a hard life she would be living now.

When Guan Ailian heard Lu Ruoling's words, her expression changed.

"Given your mother-in-law's temper, she might really do something like this. Xingxing, if you find that your money is missing when you get home, come back and tell me. I'll take your grandmother to the town to ask her to return the money to you two. This is the money for you to renovate your house."

Lu Xingxing smiled and patted her pocket, then stretched out her wrist to show everyone her watch.

"Don't worry, I'm on guard against her. I took all my valuables with me when I came out."

Having been dealing with people like her grandmother since she was a child, she has learned a lot.
