They look so pitiful, it's heartbreaking.
But only Qiao Wanyue knew how happy she was inside.
Mother Lu scoffed, "My dear in-laws, there's no need to ask Qiao Wanyue. Now that she's married, she's a member of the Lu family."
"If you don't agree, then I'll go back to the county and ask the county head to uphold justice for us. If the county doesn't work, I'll go to the provincial capital. I refuse to believe we have nowhere to turn."
Mr. Qiao's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
He never expected that simply changing his marriage partner would cause so much trouble.
If I had known, I would have rather beaten Qiao Shanshan to death than let her get a marriage certificate with Yang Huaiyuan.
Qiao Sheng gritted his teeth, "I agree, the second one."
Mother Lu said, "The eight hundred yuan dowry is all for Qiao Wanyue. That's money my Lu family gives to our daughter-in-law. Also, the pocket money Yunzhou sent is all for my real daughter-in-law."
Mr. Qiao gritted his teeth, "I've already given it to her."
Lu's mother said, "I want to see with my own eyes that you give the money to Wanyue."
Mr. Qiao closed his eyes, pointing wearily at the house, "My dear in-law, it's not that I don't want to give, but look, our house has already been robbed by bandits, we simply can't afford any money."
Before Qiao's father could even check on the house, the Lu family stormed in.
All he knew was that his home had been robbed.
We still don't know how much we've lost.
Mother Lu said, "It's easy, eldest daughter-in-law."
Sister-in-law Lu took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to her mother-in-law.
When Qiao Sheng saw the words on the paper, his face turned dark.
The IOU for over a thousand yuan clearly stated the dowry of eight hundred yuan plus the pocket money sent by Lu Yunzhou.
Qiao Sheng had no idea how much pocket money he was entitled to, so he could only accept whatever amount his mother said.
The Lu family came prepared.
Lu's mother had already prepared for this, calculating that the Qiao family would find an excuse not to pay.
"Captain Qiao, sign and put your fingerprint on this document, and give the money to my daughter-in-law within half a month."
Qiao Wanyue, standing to the side, was suppressing her laughter, her shoulders trembling.
Her future mother-in-law is a real talent.
Qiao Sheng was furious.
Serves them right.
Qiao Sheng signed it through gritted teeth.
Lu's mother carefully put away the IOU, and smiled at Qiao's father, saying, "I'll come to collect the money in half a month."
“The third one.” Mr. Joe had lost all patience.
Lu's mother said, "Thirdly, I want Qiao Shanshan to wear white on her wedding day..."
"You're dreaming."
White clothes symbolize the dead... and people in rural areas are very superstitious about this.
Lu's mother scoffed, "Eldest daughter-in-law, let's go..."
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, she called her family and turned to leave.
"Stop." Mr. Qiao pinched the bridge of his nose.
I promise you.
Lu's mother paused in her steps.
She turned her head and looked at Mr. Qiao with a grin.
"My dear in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of Wanyue."
She walked to Qiao Wanyue's side and held her hands in both of them. "Good girl, don't blame your mother-in-law for making decisions on her own. Your family is a bad omen for the Lu family. From now on, you are a member of the Lu family, so don't think about your family anymore."
These words were observed by outsiders.
It was Lu's mother who gave Qiao Wanyue a hard time.
But Qiao Wanyue knew that Lu's mother was telling everyone through these words that those conditions were made by her and had nothing to do with Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue felt grateful.
