After finishing their work, Shen Yuanyi and his family went home.
Shen Qiaoyue led her two children from the gate of their family compound.
"Brother and sister, you have to take me with you tomorrow. I'll wait for you to pick me up." Thinking that she didn't want to leave her older brother and sister and wanted to try going out with them, she looked up at Xu Qianli and said, "Dad, you can't refuse. I want my older brother and sister."
"Okay, okay, Daddy won't refuse. When your older brother and sister come to pick you up tomorrow, I'll definitely remind you not to be angry, okay?" Xu Qianli didn't dare to make the child angry, especially since it was evening and if he started crying, it would be a real problem.
After hearing her father's words, Xiangxiang smiled with satisfaction.
"Little sister, go back and get some rest. Once you're rested, we can meet again. I'll miss you," Xiao Nian said, holding Xiang Xiang's hand and then hugging her.
"Mmm." Xiangxiang nodded. "I'll go back and sleep."
Shen Qiaoyue looked down at the two sisters. Shen Qiaoyue's eyes were always so gentle, and there was a doting smile on her lips.
Thinking about how to relax after the Lunar New Year, Xu Qianli bent down and picked up his daughter.
If you don't pick them up, these two people start talking non-stop, like they've taken amnesia medication.
"Think about it, say goodbye to your aunt and uncle." Xu Qianli instructed Xiangxiang to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Aunt and Uncle." Xiangxiang waved goodbye, then looked down at Danian and Xiaonian: "Brother, sister, remember to miss me, okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
The two siblings nodded in perfect unison.
After Shen Yuanyi got on the bus, Li Xiaoxiao also got on, and Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli followed suit.
Watching the car drive away, both Da Nian and Xiao Nian began to feel very sleepy.
They yawned together, then looked up at Shen Qiaoyue and said, "Mom, I want to sleep?"
Shen Qiaoyue looked down at the two children, stroked their heads, and said, "Alright, let's go back."
I took the two children back to bathe and put them to bed.
Lu Chen bathed the two children, while Shen Qiaoyue took the prepared items to find Lu He.
"Xiao He, are you asleep?" Shen Qiaoyue knocked on Lu He's door as usual when she was at the door.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not asleep, come in." Lu He was tidying up when she heard her sister-in-law's voice. She stood up, pulled Shen Qiaoyue in, and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing. The day after tomorrow is your wedding with Feiming. Your brother and I discussed it and prepared some dowry for you. Because it's too far away, we can't prepare much in Fucheng. We won't be able to prepare everything if we go to make temporary arrangements tomorrow, so it would be best to give it to you in cash."
Shen Qiaoyue handed two envelopes to Lu He and said, "There is two thousand yuan in here, and your sister Yaoyao has also prepared some dowry for you. It's all inside."
Jiang Jinyao prepared 500 yuan, and Shen Qiaoyue prepared 2,000 yuan.
Lu He returned the money to Shen Qiaoyue, saying, "Sister-in-law, I don't want it."
“Father Jiang has prepared a dowry for me. You can keep yours for yourselves. I don’t need anything. This room is full of dowry items prepared by you and Xiaoli, as well as by Father Jiang. There are clothes, fabrics, food, and other necessities. I really have enough.”
“Xiao He, this is our heartfelt gift, and you must accept it. I am your sister-in-law, and Yao Yao is your older sister. The fact that she is preparing a dowry for you shows that she already considers you family.”
Shen Qiaoyue persuaded Lu He to take it down.
“Sister-in-law, it’s not that I don’t want it, it’s just that it’s too much.” Lu He put the money back into her sister-in-law’s hand and said, “You and your brother don’t earn money easily. This is all your hard-earned money. Besides, Father Jiang and Uncle Jiang have already given me money. Father Jiang prepared three thousand and Uncle Jiang gave me two thousand. I’ve already taken all of that. I can’t take any more of yours.”
Lu He felt truly unworthy of the money he received from these people.
"Sister-in-law, I really can't take it. Please tell Sister Yao Yao that I appreciate your kind offer," Lu He said to Shen Qiaoyue.
This is a considerable sum, and Lu He cannot accept it.
“Sister-in-law…” Shen Qiaoyue was about to speak when Lu He interrupted her, saying, “Sister-in-law, it is my brother and you who have enabled me to achieve what I have today, breaking free from the constraints of the past. I am already very satisfied to have met a husband like Fei Ming. It is all thanks to my brother and sister-in-law who have changed my life. I am truly content and will be grateful for the rest of my life. I really cannot take this money.”
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu He, her furrowed brows and nervous expression were all to get her and Jiang Jinyao to take the money back.
“Xiaohe, we are family. This money is for your wedding. It was prepared by your brother and me. Originally, I planned to prepare more, but after hearing that your father-in-law had prepared a dowry for you, we reduced it a bit.”
Shen Qiaoyue gently patted Lu He's shoulder and smiled as she advised her, "Xiao He, your dowry is to give you confidence. Although Aunt Yu treats you very well and likes you her own daughter, if you don't have this dowry, outsiders will look down on you. In this marriage, outsiders will also think that you are marrying up. Your sister Yao Yao and I just want to tell others that you are our family and we will never let you suffer. We want to tell others that even if you don't marry Xu Feiming, you can still live a good life. This shows how much we value you."
Lu He bowed her head and wept with emotion, having received a great deal of money that day.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Lu He hugged Shen Qiaoyue with tears in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, thank you."
“Silly Xiaohe, you deserve this much. Your sister Yaoyao was afraid you wouldn’t accept it, so she asked me to give it to you. She’s quite direct and impulsive, and she was afraid you wouldn’t dare to accept it, so she asked me to give it to you as well.” Shen Qiaoyue gently patted Lu He’s back. “Xiaohe, after you get married, you won’t be alone anymore. Your sister-in-law, your brother, your sister Yaoyao, your father Jiang, and your uncle all want you to be happy. A woman has to make the biggest sacrifice in marriage. You have to be strong-willed, and Feiming is also a busy person with work. It will take a long time for you to get used to each other, so remember not to wrong yourself.”
