Chapter 538 Double Dowry
"I'm only seventeen..." Sun Xiaocao lowered her head, feeling depressed.
"Your elder sister got married at the age of sixteen. You are already seventeen, so why can't you get married?" Xia Shuhui hated Sun Xiaocao's lifeless look the most.
"When I was seventeen, your eldest sister was already in my belly."
"Sun Xiaocao, I tell you, you have to marry whether you want to or not. From now on, you will be a member of the Xia family in life and a ghost of the Xia family in death. Don't give me those nonsense ideas." Xia Shuhui became more and more angry as she spoke.
She herself is incompetent and can't find anyone young and capable. Who can she blame?
If it weren't for the kind introduction, she wouldn't have been able to get someone like Captain Xia.
"Mom..." Sun Xiaolan shook her head at Xia Shuhui, signaling her to stop talking.
Xia Shuhui glared at Sun Xiaocao and shut her mouth angrily.
At this time.
"Bang!"
The door of the operating room opened.
Several people outside the operating room stood up at once.
Xia Shuhui will be at the forefront.
"Doctor, is my man okay?"
"The operation was very successful. There is no need for amputation for the time being." Director Xu, the leader, threw down a sentence and left with his assistants.
"Amitabha, Amitabha, it's good that my legs are not sawed off, it's good that my legs are not sawed off." Xia Shuhui bowed several times towards the window excitedly.
"Second sister, Dad's leg is saved." Sun Xiaolan held Sun Xiaocao's hand, her face full of excitement.
Sun Xiaocao forced a smile.

Jian Qingyi has been busy with Lu Xingning's marriage recently and has no time to care about anything else.
It was only when I ran into Sun Xiaocao at the wedding of Lu Xingning and Zhou Zhiyuan that I learned that she had moved into the staff housing complex.
"Captain Xia is actually quite good. He's tall, has a good temper, and looks okay. Apart from being a little older, he doesn't have any other problems." Luo Zhenzhu glanced at Captain Xia and Sun Xiaocao who were sitting not far away, and whispered.
"You don't know, ever since Sun Xiaocao came to the family compound, Captain Xia hasn't even let her wash her clothes. She has to get all her meals from the cafeteria. He's so worried about her."
"Many sisters-in-law in the family compound say that Sun Xiaocao is blessed!"
"You are well-informed!" Jian Qingyi chuckled.
"That's it!" Luo Zhenzhu raised her chin proudly.
Because she is breastfeeding and is not suitable to participate in the high-intensity training of the art troupe, Luo Zhenzhu is still behind the scenes during this period.
In addition to cleaning every day, I help organize some general documents.
When she has nothing to do, Luo Zhenzhu likes to wander around.
After a long walk around, what kind of information can’t I gather?!
"Yi Yi, how much dowry did Captain Qin give to your sister-in-law?" Luo Zhenzhu looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side. She leaned over to Jian Qingyi.
"Two thousand and four." Jian Qingyi did not hide it.
"Why is it two thousand four?" Luo Zhenzhu was puzzled.
Generally speaking, the betrothal gifts or dowries given by families are 660, 880, 990, 1200, 3600, 6600...
Anyway, they are auspicious numbers like two, six, eight and nine.
"The Zhou family gave Xingning 1,200 yuan as a betrothal gift, and there's nothing wrong with my parents-in-law giving her double the dowry of 2,400 yuan!" Jian Qingyi explained.
"The Zhou family has suffered a huge loss this time!" Luo Zhenzhu sighed.
"If they give a betrothal gift of 10,000, Captain Qin will have to give a dowry of 20,000. It's such a shame that they've become rich all of a sudden."
It was originally a joke, but who knew...
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
When a young wife sitting behind the two of them heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly.
"Yi Yi, how much dowry did your second uncle give you?" Luo Zhenzhu looked at Jian Qingyi with a smile.
"Six hundred and six." Jian Qingyi remembered it very clearly.
This was all saved by her scumbag father when he came to Beijing, and he gave it all as a dowry to her.
"That's better than my father and mother. They only gave me a dowry of 120 yuan, but you are so greedy." Luo Zhenzhu pouted and complained.
"A good man does not eat the food of a divided family, and a good woman does not fight for wedding dresses. Xiaotian, do you think what your aunt said is right?" Jian Qingyi lowered her head to tease Jian Xiaotian in Luo Zhenzhu's arms.
The little guy opened his mouth and gave her a sweet smile.
"Aunt!" Little Yundong's baby voice rang out at the door of the military district canteen.
The crisp tone instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Jian Qingyi smiled and waved at him.
Little Yundong rushed towards Jian Qingyi like a little cannonball.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Jian Qingyi hurriedly reminded.
"Slow down..." Lu Xingyue, who was following behind Xiao Yundong, couldn't help but frown.
Little Yundong acted as if he didn't hear anything and just kept running forward.
As soon as he got to Jian Qingyi, he reached out and hugged her.
"Aunt, I miss you so much." Little Yundong tilted his little face up, his round eyes sparkling like obsidian.
"Aunt misses you too!" Jian Qingyi lowered her head and kissed little Yundong's round little face.
Xiao Yundong's dough-like face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
That shy little look is soft, cute and adorable.
"Xiao Yundong, your aunt is married, when are you getting married?" Luo Zhenzhu teased him.
"I haven't grown up yet!" Little Yundong lowered his head even lower.
"Adults can marry adults, and children can marry children!" Luo Zhenzhu tilted her head to look at Xiao Yundong's blushing face.
"But I want to marry my aunt." Xiao Yundong twisted his fingers and whispered.
As soon as Lu Xingyue came over, he heard his son's rebellious remarks.
"I think you want to get your ass chopped off." She sneered.
"I'll tell your uncle later that you're trying to steal his girl. Let's see how he'll deal with you."
Little Yundong suddenly hugged his mother's thighs.
"Mom, didn't you say you loved me the most?"
"When did I say that?" Lu Xingyue looked down at her son, whose desire to survive was suddenly overwhelming.
"When my dad beat me." Xiao Yundong said immediately.
"Which time?" Lu Xingyue suppressed her laughter.
"The time when I put the little goldfish in my dad's briefcase." Little Yundong blinked his big round eyes.
"Forgot!" Lu Xingyue continued to hold back her laughter.
"Mom..." Little Yundong hugged his mother's thighs and started shaking like a spoiled child.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell your uncle." Lu Xingyue laughed and pulled Xiao Yundong to sit next to Jian Qingyi.
Brat!
He is so timid but so brave!
Jian Qingyi and Luo Zhenzhu couldn't help laughing either.
"Yi Yi, where are those two little guys?" Lu Xingyue looked around.
Perhaps because of the balloons and ribbons, the huge cafeteria looks particularly festive.
"Grandpa and Grandpa Zhou took them out for a walk." Jian Qingyi smiled.
Before he could finish his words, the old man and Mr. Zhou came back carrying the whimpering Ruibao and Qibao.
The two little guys seemed to have radar detectors installed on their bodies, and they locked onto Jian Qingyi in an instant.
“Mom…Mom…”
“Mom…Mom…”
The moment their eyes met, the two little guys stopped whining and just stretched out their little arms to ask Jian Qingyi to hold them.
