Qin Yilin's previous sullenness vanished, and she retorted, "What can we do? Hurry up and prepare the dowry."
"Huh?" Ding Heli felt that his brain hadn't caught up yet.
How did we get onto the topic of preparing a dowry?
"Otherwise, how do you think I knew?" Qin Yilin retorted.
Seeing that the head of the household still looked dazed, he could only patiently repeat what Shui Qing had said earlier, mentioning that Hu's parents wanted to buy land and build a house in the village. Ding Heli grinned.
When the topic turned to the baby's future surname, Ding Heli took a deep breath and asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
"What Shuiqing said could be false, right? Besides, you know Brother Hu and Sister-in-law Hu's character. They wouldn't try to fool us with something they couldn't do," Qin Yilin said with a smile.
Ding Heli nodded.
The Hu family's sincerity is truly remarkable.
He didn't pick and choose, only saying to arrange them in order. He said that whether it's a son or a daughter, it's all fate. Compared to the surname, he cares more about this sentiment. He doesn't need to worry about his daughter being mistreated after marrying into the family.
“Alright, it just so happens that I’m going to Yuhang this time. Isn’t Jiangnan silk the most famous? I’ll buy some on the way and make a few clothes for you all.”
In the past, the village was not well-off, and dressing too well would attract attention. Now that Hu Shuiqing has set an example, all the good things can be pushed onto her. Moreover, Jiajia will be her sister-in-law in the future. If she says that her sister-in-law gave her good material, who in the village will doubt it?
When Qin Yilin was young, she wore clothes made of silk. In the hot summer, the silk felt cool and comfortable against her skin. Summers in Shanshui Village were long and extremely hot, and she had long wanted to wear clothes made of silk!
He immediately decided: "Great! Buy a few more bolts and make several sets for my mother-in-law, Shuiqing, and her children."
Ding Heli: ...Why is he at the back of the line?
Wait, how come Sister-in-law Hu is already the mother-in-law?
He cautioned, "Don't change your mind too quickly. It won't look good if the villagers hear it. Besides, if Jiajia hears it, she might think we're hoping she'll get married."
Qin Yilin rolled her eyes at him: "In the past, I wouldn't want her to get married so early, but nowadays, what difference does it make whether she gets married or not in the same village? I'm just thinking about having a baby as soon as possible."
Ding Heli grumbled discontentedly, "You can't just target our girls because you can't have children yourself."
Qin Yilin has excellent hearing, and when she heard it, she immediately got furious!
Unconvinced, she slapped him hard on the back: "Who can't have children? Ding Heli, tell me, who can't have children? It's clearly you who can't have children!"
Ding Heli dodged while stubbornly insisting, "I'm sure I can do it. Don't you know whether I can or not?"
Qin Yilin's face turned bright red, and she changed her raised hand to pinch.
As Ding Heli was howling, Butcher Hu came running towards them.
Both of them were stunned. Butcher Hu didn't know what was going on, but then Ding Heli cried out as if he had seen a lifeline, "Hey, in-law!"
Qin Yilin: ...Who was it that said she changed her mind too quickly?!
Butcher Hu grinned, overjoyed. Seeing Qin Yilin standing close to Ding Heli, he exclaimed, "The in-laws really have a good relationship!"
Qin Yilin: .....
