After dinner, Shen Chaochao washed the dishes and cleaned the table. Ji Yu kept shouting, so she just cleaned with her.
"My father said that if a man does these housework, it will affect his fortune in the future." Shen Chaochao said with sincerity.
Ji Yu tapped her head and said, "So they don't do anything at home and leave everything to you, right?"
Shen Chaochao nodded quickly, then shook his head and explained: “That’s what the older generation said.”
"We don't have this rule in our family. Whoever is free can do more housework. If both of you are free, you can do it together. A family needs two people to run it together."
Shen Chaochao said to Ji Yu seriously: "Brother Xiaoyu, you are different from my father and my brother..."
"Is it better or worse than them?" Ji Yu asked in a seductive way.
"Better than all of them. Brother Xiaoyu is the best man I have ever met." Shen Chaochao said sincerely, without any intention of lying at all.
Ji Yu smiled. This little girl is so sweet!
Seeing Chen Chaochao busying around, Ji Yu simply went to Sister Chunlan's house alone.
When Sister Chunlan saw Ji Yu, she quickly took out the wedding dress that she had prepared long ago.
"Xiao Yu'er, I was just thinking that the wedding is tomorrow. If you don't take the clothes, I will send them to you."
Ji Yu said embarrassedly: "I was busy these two days and forgot."
"Have you bought a suit? If you don't have one, I have an old one at home and I'll give it to you to try on." Sister Chunlan said enthusiastically.
Ji Yu quickly declined Sister Chunlan's kindness: "I bought a new set of clothes yesterday."
"Then take this dress back and let Chaochao try it on. If it's too big, I'll tighten the waist for her." Sister Chunlan handed the dress to Ji Yu.
"Then I'll take it back and try it out first." Ji Yu added, "I'll have to trouble Captain Lin to accept the gift tomorrow."
Sister Chunlan nodded and promised: "Leave this matter to our Lao Lin, don't worry."
When Ji Yu returned home with the clothes, Shen Chaochao also wiped the stove and pots spotlessly clean.
Ji Yu handed the red wedding dress to Shen Chaochao and asked her to try it on quickly. She also went to the inner room to change into her newly bought grey suit.
When Shen Chaochao came out after changing her clothes, she saw Ji Yu, who was gentle and elegant in a suit.
"It looks good." Shen Chaochao couldn't help but sigh.
Ji Yu touched Shen Chaochao's head and praised: "Indeed, this red coat suits you very well, it looks very good."
Ji Yu took out the floral skirt she bought this morning. The pink floral long skirt was tender in color and looked very beautiful.
"Did you buy it for me?"
Looking at Shen Chaochao's surprised expression, Ji Yu knew that no matter what era, girls would be happy when they saw beautiful clothes.
"When the weather gets warmer at the end of May, I can change into the sky blue dress I wore that day," said Ji Yu.
Shen Chaochao held the beautiful skirt and threw herself into Ji Yu's arms, her voice soft and touching: "Brother Xiaoyu, I really like the skirt you... bought for me."
Ji Yu was frightened by her inexplicable behavior and blushed: "Go home early today! I will pick you up at your house tomorrow."
"Okay." Shen Chaochao ran back home with the wedding dress. The dress she was holding in her hands was neatly folded and placed on the table.
Ji Yu put the clothes into the closet and placed them together with the new clothes she bought last time.
Ji Yu started sitting at the table and reading again.
The next morning, Ji Yu got up early and put on his newly bought shirt and suit. He looked handsome and energetic.
Sister Chunlan and a few other aunts were cooking in the kitchen. Captain Lin also brought a few men to borrow square tables and chairs for the banquet from house to house.
Ji Yu took a bag of candy and a prepared ring, and followed the people playing gongs and drums to the Shen family.
Because the Shen family did not prepare a dowry, Ji Yu did not even need to prepare red envelopes. She could just bring some candies to share with the children who were watching the fun.
Ji Yu was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, and arrived at the gate of the Shen family with the sound of gongs and drums.
The old couple of the Shen family were sitting in the hall, and Shen Chaochao had already put on his clothes and was sitting in the inner room.
Ji Yu offered tea to the two elders.
When Shen's mother saw Ji Yu's empty hands, she couldn't help but say, "You're not sensible. You didn't even prepare a red envelope."
The aunt on the side couldn’t stand Shen’s mother’s attitude, and couldn’t help but say: “The red envelope given by the man for the wedding is to buy a dowry and ask for a happy occasion. You don’t prepare a dowry, but you still want to receive a red envelope.”
Mother Shen was not to be outdone and said, “My own son-in-law, what’s wrong with preparing a red envelope for my mother-in-law to ask for good luck!”
The people watching the wedding nearby also encountered this situation for the first time. They shook their heads and said, "Then this is the first time your son-in-law changes his mind, so shouldn't you also prepare a red envelope?"
Ji Yu didn't want to continue talking to Shen's mother. She was really being unreasonable.
Ji Yu went to the side and asked for red paper, then took out five yuan from his pocket, wrapped it up and handed it to Shen's mother.
"Mom! Can I take the red envelope for you?"
Five yuan is equivalent to eight or nine hundred yuan now! It is not a small amount. Moreover, the Shen family did not prepare a dowry, so it is reasonable for Ji Yu to not give the money.
But Mother Shen didn’t give up, and continued, “Our family will also take half of the gift money we received today…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them stopped avoiding the Shen family and started talking loudly.
"Shen's wife, you are too evil! You don't want to hold a banquet, but you still want to take half of the gift money?"
"Yes! Yes! You can't cheat so much money by selling your daughter!"
