"Brother, you are too biased. She deliberately slandered Sun Bowen and said that Brother Bowen had an improper relationship with other women. Isn't this ruining my marriage? How deep is my hatred for her that I let her do this to me."
Li Shanshan wiped her face with her sleeve. "I hit her lightly. If she talks nonsense again next time, you will hit her again..."
"Pa!" Li Baoguo was furious and slapped Li Shanshan in the face. "You are hopeless. Since you think Sun Bowen is so good, then just marry him. I don't care whether you live or die in the Sun family in the future."
Li Baoguo felt tired after beating someone.
How could he have such a stupid sister?
"Brother, you hit me, why did you hit me? Just for a stranger!" Li Shanshan covered her face with an expression of disbelief.
Her brother had never hit her since she was a child, but this time Lu Xiaoyue actually hit her.
She hated that jerk Lu Xiaoyue.
"I hit you to wake you up." Li Baoguo said sternly.
"I hate you so much!" Li Shanshan pushed Li Baoguo hard, turned around and ran into the house crying.
Li's mother stayed in the room to comfort Li Shanshan. When Li's father came back in the evening, Li Baoguo told him what happened today.
"Dad, I'm useless as the eldest brother. Since Shanshan doesn't like me, I won't ask about her affairs in the future!"
Father Li did not expect his daughter to be so stupid.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that Sun Bowen's son was dishonest. Instead of going to Sun Bowen to ask for clarification, she found trouble with her daughter-in-law.
But no matter how stupid she is, she is her own child. Father Li said, "Big brother, your mother and I only have two children, brother and sister. Shanshan was spoiled too much by us. I will let your sister apologize to your wife. As for saying that you don't care about her, don't say it in the future."
Li Baoguo was silent, which was considered as his tacit agreement with what Li's father said.
At night, Li's father went to Li Shanshan's room. It was unknown what he said. In the end, Li Shanshan reluctantly apologized to Lu Xiaoyue.
Although the matter seemed to be over, Lu Xiaoyue had actually made up her mind not to bother with Li Shanshan anymore.
Two days later, Li Shanshan married Sun Bowen.
The two went to get their marriage certificate early in the morning. At noon, the Li family would set up two tables at home, and then go to Sun's house to set up wine the next day.
As the in-laws of the Li family, the Lu family naturally had to come to congratulate them.
Originally, Cheng Yunan and his generation didn't need to come over, but the Li family didn't have many close relatives, so in order to save face, Li's mother asked Lu Xiaoyue to ask Cheng Yunan and others to come over together.
After discussing with Lu Xiaoyue, Cheng Yunan decided to give two yuan as a wedding gift.
After all, when the villagers went to a banquet, they would only have a handful of vegetables, two pieces of tofu, or two cents to eat, so her two yuan was already a big deal.
Besides, one portion was for her parents-in-law, one portion was for her brother, and one portion was for her.
Their family will have to pay ten dollars, which is really not a lot of gift money.
After Cheng Yunan arrived, she gave the gift money to Li's mother. Her parents, brother and his family also came, all dressed very decently. Because of the ointment Cheng Yunan gave her, Ma Xiulian's skin became several shades whiter than before, and even her wrinkles disappeared. She looked several years younger than her mother, who was older than her.
The relatives of the Li family were all shocked when they saw the Lu family.
"Isn't it said that Baoguo's wife's family are all from the countryside? She dresses more fashionably than people in the city, and doesn't look like a farmer at all."
"That's right. At first, Li Shanshan looked down on this sister-in-law and tried her best to ruin her eldest brother's marriage. Now she is looking for this one... Tsk tsk!"
"That's right. Sun Bowen looks like a decent person, but he doesn't know that the Sun family is having a hard time."
"Yes, look at my grandson's clothes, which have been washed so much that they have become bleached. She has worn them for five or six years, and you can't even tell the pattern on them."
"And the shoes on her feet are all patched. Her son is getting married in such a shabby way."
"Yes, have you heard how much dowry the Sun family gave you?"
"Yes, yes, I want to ask that too."
When Li Shanshan and Sun Bowen came over happily to toast, they were stopped by this good cousin's wife.
"Shanshan! Seeing that you two have such a good relationship, we as your family are especially happy for you."
Li Shanshan's face instantly flushed with joy.
Li Shanshan said happily: "Thank you, cousin-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law, our Shanshan is pretty, smart, and has a stable job. You must treat her well in the future! We will not tolerate her being bullied if we know of it."
Sun Bowen smiled and replied, "Shanshan is very good. I will definitely not let her suffer any injustice."
"Brother-in-law! How much do you give Shanshan as a dowry when you get married? Tell us how much Shanshan is in your heart! Isn't that right?"
"Yes, that's right. Our Shanshan married into the family with a stable job. The betrothal gift is not worthy of such a good job."
Everyone knows that Li Shanshan forced her sister-in-law to work in order to marry Sun Bowen.
People outside are saying that the Li family is stupid.
A lady will get married sooner or later, and the money she earns will go into someone else's pocket.
The daughter-in-law is a member of the family, and the money she earns goes into her own pocket.
Lu Xiaoyue is lucky, she got a good job in a clothing store. Look, the way she dresses now makes her face look so tender that you can pinch water out of it, and her clothes are the latest popular styles in town, which makes her look rich and glamorous, even more charming than the newlywed Li Shanshan.
Li Shanshan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot on the spot.
Thinking about the discussion of the betrothal gift between her grandmother and her family yesterday, Li Shanshan was so angry that her mouth was burning.
Yesterday, my grandmother came over to discuss getting our marriage certificate.
As for the betrothal gift, it was never mentioned at all, and it was Sun Bowen who finally brought it up.
The original betrothal gift was 66 yuan, but because he bought her some clothes yesterday and spent 60 yuan, Sun Bowen only brought 6 yuan.
At that time, Li Shanshan only felt that she was slapped on the face.
It turns out that the clothes Sun Bowen bought for her were a betrothal gift to himself.
Is that any different from buying it yourself?
What's more, the grandmother even claimed that if the two of them were free to fall in love, they should be free to do so and they could decide their own marriage.
The Li family was furious at the shameless actions of the grandson's mother. They had never seen such a shameless person.
But Li Shanshan had to get married. Who told her that she couldn't resist the temptation and had sex with Sun Bowen more than a month ago?
The grandson's mother must have known this, which is why she was trying to control her over the bride price.
For someone like her who has a stable job, the minimum dowry is at least a small fortune. Not to mention a wedding gift, she also needs a bicycle or a sewing machine.
At first, she despised and looked down on Lu Xiaoyue. Her family gave her a bicycle, her parents gave her a dollar as a betrothal gift, not to mention that her brother also gave her money privately.
Now it was her turn, and her grandson's family only gave her six dollars. How could she say that?
"Cousin, I married Sun Bowen, not for his family's betrothal gift. Any amount given is a token of my thoughtfulness." Li Shanshan said with a stiff smile.
"Oh, stop it! Don't you always say that how much a man loves a woman depends on how much the other party is willing to pay for the bride price? We are all doing this for your own good. We want to see how much your brother-in-law values you!"
"That's right, Li Shanshan, don't be ignorant. If we weren't relatives, who would care about other people's business?" Another woman also chimed in.
The main reason was that she had been ridiculed by Li Shanshan when she first got married, and today was a good opportunity for her to vent her anger.
Li Shanshan's face turned pale and blue, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Before, she laughed at how cruel others were, but now they hit her back twice as hard.
