Gong Xiaoyun was washing dishes when Wang Meizhen came over and took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Gong Xiaoyun. "There's a temple fair at the market today. You and Yifeng and the others should go to the temple fair and buy whatever you want. Don't skimp."
"Aunt Zhan, I can't accept your money." Gong Xiaoyun quickly shook her head and refused.
"This is New Year's money. Yifeng and the others all have it. If you don't accept it, I will be angry." Wang Meizhen said with a deliberately stern face.
Gong Xiaoyun was touched and felt her nose a little sour. She sniffed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhan!" Aunt Zhan was really good to her. She felt really satisfied to have such a mother-in-law.
"Silly child, we are all family, so why thank each other?" Wang Meizhen said with a smile.
"Xiao Yun!" Gong Damei's voice came from outside.
"Your elder sister is here, let me wash these dishes." Wang Meizhen reached out and took the rag from Gong Xiaoyun's hand.
"Yeah." Gong Xiaoyun nodded and walked out. She had originally agreed to go back today, but Yifeng said that her brother asked her not to go back for the next two days.
When I walked out of the kitchen, I saw that Gong Damei and Gong Ermei had already walked into the main room.
Seeing Gong Xiaoyun come in, Gong Damei said with a cold face: "Didn't you promise mother to go back today? Don't you know what mother's situation is now?"
"Sister, I..." Gong Xiaoyun felt guilty. She knew that what she did was somewhat unfilial.
"Do you think that you are a member of the Zhan family just because you get the certificate? Let me tell you, your parents haven't agreed yet! If the Zhan family wants to marry you, you can take out the betrothal gifts now, otherwise we will let the whole village know today how the Zhan family bullies honest people." Gong Ermei said.
"You want to marry our girl without giving us a betrothal gift? No way!" Gong Damei snorted.
"Zhan Yifeng, I tell you, today you either bring out the betrothal gifts, or we will take Xiaoyun back." Gong Ermei looked at Zhan Yifeng and said.
"Eldest sister, second sister, please don't be like this." Gong Xiaoyun said embarrassedly. The Zhan family was so nice to her, and the eldest and second sisters were so aggressive. She really didn't know how to face Aunt Zhan and Uncle Zhan.
"You haven't even married yet, and you're already turning your elbows outward. What will happen if you get married?"
"You heartless girl! Your parents worked so hard to raise you. Is it easy? But you forget your parents after you have a man. Did a dog eat your conscience?"
"I..." Gong Xiaoyun lowered her head.
"Don't you just want a betrothal gift? I'll go get it for you." Zhan Yifeng stood up and walked towards the room. His mother had already given him the betrothal money yesterday, and he had planned to go to the Gong family on the third day of the New Year to give it to them. As for the three major items, his eldest brother said someone would deliver them on the third day of the New Year.
Gong Damei and Gong Ermei looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes. Now that they had received the betrothal money, what else did they have to worry about?
After a while, Zhan Yihan came out with an oil-paper bag and placed it on the table. "Here is one thousand yuan. I will send the remaining half of the money and the three major items the day before the wedding."
Gong Damei took the oil-paper package, opened it, and gave half of the money to Gong Ermei. The two of them counted it. Although it was only a thousand yuan, it was better than getting nothing. Besides, if the Zhan family didn't give it today, they would have to send Xiaoyun away tomorrow.
After a while, Gong Damei and Gong Ermei compared the amount and said, "It's exactly one thousand yuan, so we'll keep it first. But we have to take Xiaoyun home. You know my mother is injured and there's no one to take care of her at home. And as Xiaoyun's family, we have to buy her some dowry."
"That's right, Xiaoyun is our sister. How could we let her marry off empty-handed?" Gong Ermei agreed.
"Then Xiaoyun and I will go together," Zhan Yifeng said. Gong Zhengyao had already warned him, so how could he let Xiaoyun go back alone?
"Yifeng, that's Xiaoyun's family home. We are Xiaoyun's family. Can we eat her? I really don't understand why you are worried." Gong Ermei said unhappily. Why is this Zhan Yifeng so annoying?
"Xiaoyun is my wife. Wherever she goes, I go too." Zhan Yifeng said shamelessly. The more they told him not to go, the more he wanted to go.
"Since you're worried, Xiaoyun will stay at your house. You can send her back before the wedding." Feeling that Gong Ermei was tugging at her clothes, Gong Damei turned her head and winked at her, then looked at Zhan Yifeng and said, "But as Xiaoyun's sisters, we must do our best to help her get married. Tomorrow morning, we will come to find Xiaoyun and take her to the city to buy her some clothes. It can be regarded as our sister's intention. If you are worried, you can come along tomorrow. It's just that it's troublesome for a woman to go shopping."
"Yifeng, why don't I go alone tomorrow?" Gong Xiaoyun said. They were her sisters, so they shouldn't do anything to her.
"But I'm worried." Zhan Yifeng said.
"You're a grown man, why are you being so fussy? If you're worried, just let your sister come along. It's inconvenient for us women to take a man like you. Besides, we're just going for a stroll and will be back soon. What's there to worry about?" Gong Ermei was both angry and anxious. If Zhan Yifeng followed, the ruthless man would definitely not come out. If he got angry, he might really kill them.
"I don't want to go," Zhan Yeping said. She hadn't wanted to go anywhere for a while.
"You should come with me. I heard that clothes are on sale in the city malls lately, and ski jackets can be bought for just a few dozen yuan. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to buy them again." Gong Damei looked at Zhan Yeping and said. If Zhan Yifeng hadn't wanted to go with her, she wouldn't have taken Zhan Yeping with her.
"Really?" Zhan Yeping was a little tempted. Her mother and three brothers had given her New Year's money, which totaled to two hundred yuan. Besides, she wasn't going alone.
Gong Damei nodded and smiled: "Of course it's true, and you are Xiaoyun's sister-in-law. When we buy clothes for Xiaoyun, you can also refer to it."
"Yiping, you are now at the age of a flower, you should dress beautifully. Besides, when your second brother and Xiaoyun get married, you have to buy new clothes, otherwise it will be so shabby." Gong Ermei agreed with a smile.
Zhan Yiping thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." When her elder brother and Su Jinyue came back that day, they bought her a new dress, but she didn't want to wear it, at least not when Su Jinyue was around. She still had some backbone.
"Now you should be relieved, right?" Gong Damei looked at Zhan Yifeng and asked.
"Really? We are Sister Xiaoyun, what can we do to her?" Gong Ermei snorted coldly.
Zhan Yifeng nodded. If they really wanted to do something to Xiaoyun, they definitely wouldn't bring Yiping with them.
