"You have to remember, you married a wife, not a nanny. You have to treat my sister well. If I hear my sister say anything bad about you when I come home, then you just wait."
The groom nodded and said, "Of course I will. I will take good care of my daughter when I marry her home. Don't worry, brother-in-law."
"If I ever do anything to let him down, feel free to come and teach me a lesson. I will have absolutely no complaints."
After hearing what he said, Aunt Xia and Uncle Xia nodded in satisfaction. It was almost time, so they didn't delay any longer and set off on their bikes.
Behind their bicycle team were three ox carts, loaded with the dowry that Aunt Xia had prepared for my cousin, as well as the betrothal gifts that had been sent earlier.
Aunt Xia took all the betrothal gifts sent to her back without keeping any for herself. She thought that this would make it easier for her daughter to live in their family.
My cousin worked for me for a few months and earned some money, but I was reluctant to spend any of it. He came back and bought a sewing machine for my sister.
As a dowry, the sewing machine was considered quite good in the surrounding area. As soon as it was brought out, it attracted everyone's envious gazes.
Some unmarried girls think that it would be great if they could have such a sewing machine when they get married, so that they can stand up straight in their mother-in-law's house.
The girls who have married into their village have eyes full of envy, because they didn't have it when they married here.
Their family had not prepared anything for him. Not only did they not have much dowry, but they also had many families leave their betrothal gifts. So when they saw the Liu family taking everything back for their daughter, they were very envious.
Because they didn't bring back the betrothal gifts and the dowry wasn't much, every time you quarreled, their mother-in-law would bring this up to make trouble for me.
They have no say at all in their husband's family, because once they want to do something, their mother-in-law will keep nagging them, and then they dare not do it.
After all, they were really in the wrong in this matter. Others gave them so much, but they only gave back so little. No one would like that, so they didn't dare to refute it at all.
There were two other cars carrying some other things, including quilts, mattresses, and some dowry cabinets. In short, the three cars were full.
However, these three sewing machines are not a single one. Because of the fear of breaking it, no one dares to put anything on it, and the ropes are tied tightly.
The man wearing it was also from the village. He was very careful along the way, fearing that he would be asked to pay for it if it was damaged.
Although I have a cow and can earn extra income like this, it is still difficult for me to buy a sewing machine.
Xia Jin originally walked by herself, but she felt tired after walking for a while. The coachman looked at her fair and tender appearance and asked her to sit in the car.
The main reason was that she was walking slower and slower. If they didn't let her get on, they might even lose time. Besides, she didn't look too heavy, so getting on the oxcart wouldn't put too much of a burden on the ox.
In fact, Xia Jin's physical strength was still good. She walked slower and slower, mainly because several blisters had formed on the soles of her feet, causing a dull pain when she walked.
So she walked slower and slower, and just now she vaguely felt that a blister on the bottom of her foot seemed to have burst, because it hurt more when she walked.
She is not a very shameless person. If someone asks her to go, she will go. After all, if she goes on her own, she really won't be able to keep up.
It would be bad if time was wasted because of me. My feet really can't walk anymore. I haven't walked such a long distance for a long time, and my feet have become delicate.
She sat on the board of the ox cart, then looked down at her shoes, thinking that she could just soak them in the spiritual spring water when she returned.
But now I have to suffer a little more. When I get to my sister's mother-in-law's house, I have to force myself to do this and that.
As a bridesmaid, my role is also very important. I have to run around helping them, and help them watch and move things. In short, I have to do everything.
The ox cart started moving again, and soon it drove into a village. After Xia Jin and his friends walked for a while in the village, they heard the sound of firecrackers.
There was a crackling sound, and behind their ox cart were many children. Xia Jin grabbed a handful of candy he had prepared and threw it to them.
When the children saw the candies, they immediately squatted down to see that their purpose of following the car was to ask for candies from the bride's hands.
At other times, you might find them annoying, but at this time, no one will feel annoyed, and they are sharing the joy of marriage together.
After hearing the sound of firecrackers, they walked again. In less than two minutes, they arrived. There were people all around. Looking at so many people, Xia Jin quickly jumped off the ox cart.
Then she talked to the coachman and asked them to watch over the things. Then she ran to her sister and brother-in-law and planned to follow them in.
Following behind were several of his brothers. There were many rituals for the bride to enter the house, and they just watched from behind as their sister jumped over the fire basin.
When they crossed the first step, people around them were all saying "good", applauding, and laughing. It was a mess, but the happiness on everyone's faces could not be faked. Everyone was happy for the newlyweds.
Looking at the two of them, Xia Jin couldn't help but applaud them.
She was also very happy for her sister. Although she had some doubts before, now that things had come to this, she still chose to believe her brother-in-law.
I hope the two of them can stay together forever, help each other and live a colorful life together.
She clapped her hands, raised her head, smiled and whispered to her elder brother.
In fact, she just didn't understand many of the customs here, so she asked, but didn't say much else.
She didn't know that when she ran over from the ox cart over there, she had already become the center of attention of many people.
