When Xiaorou's mother said this, everyone was stunned.
Even the old lady of the Qian family, who was standing at the door and eavesdropping, widened her eyes in surprise.
To put it bluntly, the bride price given these days is given to the old couple.
Some open-minded elderly couples will give large items to their daughter, but the betrothal money is usually kept.
For example, if you give a betrothal gift of 50 yuan, you can at most give the girl 20 yuan as a gift, which is already the best.
Some people rely on marrying off their daughters to make money, and keep all the betrothal gifts for their sons to use for their marriage.
It is normal to buy your daughter two new sets of clothes and two quilts and give her ten yuan.
Back then, when Xiaorou married her son, she brought back big items, but only brought back ten yuan out of the 30 yuan betrothal gift.
Now Xiaorou's mother has taken everything away.
The old lady of the Qian family became more and more angry as she thought about it, but since there were quite a few people in Xiaorou's family, she couldn't defeat them all by herself.
He could only stomp his feet and walk home angrily.
I happened to see my daughter-in-law lying on the sofa eating melon seeds.
When he saw her come in, he said, "Mom, your grandson wants to drink some sugar water, go make him a cup."
In the past, if she had said this, the old lady of the Qian family would have happily run up to get busy.
This time, however, it was quite different. The old lady of the Qian family threw the enamel bowl in her hand heavily to the ground: "If you want to drink, can't you pour it yourself? Don't you have hands?"
The Qian family's daughter-in-law paused while cracking melon seeds, her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to hit her belly: "My son, you should not have been born in the first place to end up in a family where neither your grandparents love you."
Seeing that the strength in her hands was getting stronger and stronger, the old lady in the family became anxious and ran over in a hurry.
Grasping his daughter-in-law's hand, he said humbly, "I'll pour it for you, pour it, pour it! Is that not enough?"
Seeing the old lady going to pour water with a dusty face, Qian's daughter-in-law showed a triumphant smile on her face.
As the saying goes, evil will be punished by evil!
The Qian family's daughter-in-law naturally knew how to control her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Qian's hands were shaking as she poured water. Not only did she not get back all the betrothal gifts for her son's new wife, she didn't even get a small gift as a gift.
That would have been fine, but ever since she became pregnant, she has been keeping a tight rein on her son's salary.
In the past, all the money was turned over to the public, but now, the old lady of the Qian family gave her job to her daughter-in-law, without a penny left.
I have to use my husband's money to support these two prodigal sons!
The more she thought about it, the angrier the old lady from the Qian family became. She immediately fainted with her eyes rolled back.
The thermos in his hand fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise.
The scalding hot water poured on her legs did not cause her to react at all.
The Qian family's daughter-in-law, who was sitting on the sofa, was shocked. When she saw the old lady of the Qian family lying there with a lot of debris at her feet, she panicked.
He got up from the sofa and rushed to Old Lady Qian's side: "Hey, don't play dead. I asked you to pour some water but you're just pretending to be blind and deaf..."
Seeing that the old lady of the Qian family had no reaction at all, the Qian family's daughter-in-law became completely panicked.
She hurriedly opened the door, trembling, and stood in the corridor shouting, "Is there anyone who can come and help me?
Come quickly, help me! "
When they heard the word "help", many people opened their doors.
When everyone arrived at the Qian family's old lady, she had already fainted.
He was rushed to the hospital and didn't wake up until the evening.
But her mouth was crooked and her hands were twisted like chicken claws.
When Qian Jianhua learned that his mother had suffered a stroke and collapsed in bed, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
With the character of Qian's daughter-in-law, how could she take care of her paralyzed mother-in-law?
She did not help change the bandage on the burn on old lady Qian's leg. From redness and swelling to rot, the old lady's face looked grim and she wanted to say something but no sound came out.
They ate, drank, defecated and urinated in bed. Old Man Qian disliked Old Lady Qian's dirtiness and applied to live in the factory dormitory.
Just like this, Mrs. Qian passed away after just a few years of wasting time.
Of course, this is a later story.
At this moment in Xiaorou's home, the smiles on Lu Hongmei and Lu Chunmei's faces became more sincere.
Grandma Lu San said anxiously, "Mother-in-law, is this not a good idea?"
Xiaorou's mother also noticed the awkwardness of several people, and quickly said: "That's nothing, we are all people who know each other well, and others will not talk nonsense.
Besides, it was our family's own choice, so we can only brag about it if we tell others about it."
The people of the old Lu family finally breathed a sigh of relief. In their rural area, everyone would leave something behind more or less.
If the woman doesn't want anything but still gives subsidies, some unsavory people might say very rude things to her.
What is this about giving money away, whether the woman can't get married, etc...
Originally, Grandma Lu San and the others didn't need to consider these things. After all, these words had no effect on them.
But they were kind-hearted and feared that rumors would make Xiaorou uncomfortable in the future.
Time passed quickly, and Lu Yuanshan had been decorating his three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment a few days before his wedding.
In order to avoid being too conspicuous, there were only two beds and a large wardrobe.
Even though these cost a lot of money, the other tables, chairs, benches, dressing tables and so on were all old furniture.
This way it was not so conspicuous, and on the day of the wedding, Lu Yuanshan specially invited Director Gong to be the witness.
This is a great honor, and many people are envious.
The wedding banquet was not held in the village, but in the canteen of the food factory.
We made arrangements the day before and several chefs from the canteen purchased a lot of things.
In addition, since it was Director Gong who came to give the suggestions personally, everyone worked even harder.
He didn't even ask for wages, just money for materials.
His approach also opened the door to a new world.
Director Gong immediately said: "As long as you are an employee of our food factory, you can hold your wedding in the cafeteria in the future.
The food factory contracted to pay the chefs' wages, which could be considered a gift.
But you have to pay for the materials yourself."
All the employees were delighted when they heard this: "That's great! It's much more convenient to cook in the cafeteria than to find someone to set up a table and cook for us."
The food factory is now quite large, so naturally there are many unmarried men and women inside.
They all cheered with smiles on their faces, and were obedient and willing to spend money without asking for any money.
Director Gong was held high up in the air, his face flushed with joy.
He subconsciously glanced at the woman standing in the corner with a smile on her face.
The soft sunlight shining on her body made her smile look like a blooming flower in spring, beautiful and brilliant.
