After Jiang Li was taken out, the bridegrooms began to carry the dowry one after another. There were three cotton quilts, two of which were as thin as paper.
One of the quilts was particularly thick, with a festive pattern. The entire set of quilt covers was bought by Aunt Jingui.
Originally it was intended to be used as a dowry for Li Chunlan, but Jiang Li got married first, so she was given to Jiang Li.
Then Jiang Li asked people to move out the large wardrobe, desk, washstand, kettle, and other odds and ends in the room, leaving nothing behind for Jiang Changyi and Wang Juhua.
Zhu Xia's eyes turned red, the quilt cover of this cotton quilt looked so familiar to her.
When she first got married, she wanted it, but her mother-in-law kept it strictly secret and didn't let her use it, and instead gave it to Jiang Li.
She pulled Li Jinbu and whispered, "What does your mother mean by this? She gave the things in the house to her grandson instead of her own. Is there anyone so ignorant of her own family?"
Li Jinbu was very impatient. He had heard this morning that Jiang Li sold the house to his family at a low price, and he was grateful to Jiang Li in his heart.
"Today is my sister's big day, don't force me to beat you here!"
Li Jinbu has a mild temper and rarely speaks harshly.
Zhu Xia was very angry when she heard this. "What do you mean? We haven't divided the family property yet. We all have a share of the things in the house.
She gave it to someone for no reason, and I can’t even say anything about it? "
"Li Jinbu, I'm still pregnant with your child, why do you treat me like this?"
Zhu Xia felt more and more aggrieved. They had been married for so many years and Li Jinbu had never said a harsh word to her, but now he was doing this for this vixen!
Seeing her grinning as if about to cry, Li Jinbu frowned and said, "If you dare to make trouble here and bring shame to the family, you'd better go back to your parents' home."
Zhu Xia was completely stunned. She opened her mouth and didn't know whether to cry or not. Was he serious?
Thinking back to how she had been married into the Li family for so many years, even though she complained all the time, her mother-in-law was capable and her husband was gentle.
My sister-in-law is very good at talking and she is very efficient at her job. She has really never suffered any hardship.
If she really divorces and goes back to her parents' home, can she still find such a good family?
Zhu Xia unconsciously lost some momentum. She held her stomach and groaned heavily, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walked away.
It would be a waste if you don’t eat the things of the little vixen Jiang Li.
Hearing that the Qi family's bride-picking party had arrived, Jiang Changyi rubbed his hands and went out to prepare some gifts. He had even thought of a place.
Jiang Li got married and the east chamber was vacant, so we could put it there when the time came. When Tianci got married, he didn't have to move to another place, so he just cleaned up the east chamber.
The house there is big and can accommodate the child even after birth.
Jiang Changyi led the team, "Put the bicycle in the east room, and let me carry the watch and radio."
The one guarding the betrothal gifts was a distant cousin of the Qi family. He said in surprise, "The bride said that the betrothal gifts don't need to be unloaded from the truck and can be directly taken to Bailutang."
The other cousin who was smarter showed a look of contempt. It seemed that this uncle treated the betrothal gift as his own and had arranged everything.
"Nonsense, go ask Li Zi, the betrothal gift is of course for the bride's family, how can it be taken to the husband's family!"
Jiang Changyi clenched his fists in anxiety. He reached out to pull the bicycle, "Take it off for me."
"Uncle, do you still have any shame?
She is your niece, not your daughter-in-law. If anyone wants to receive the betrothal gift, it should be her parents who receive it. Why should it be your uncle who has nothing to do with her?"
"Brothers, today is Brother Qi's good day, we have to take good care of the things for Sister-in-law."
At the call of his cousin, four or five tall and strong men came over and surrounded the betrothal gifts so tightly that Jiang Changyi couldn't even touch the wheel of a bicycle.
He got anxious, his eyes rolled, and he ran into the house to pull Wang Juhua out.
Wang Juhua has always been a pushover, and she immediately lay down in front of the ox cart, "If I don't leave the betrothal gift today, you can't get married."
Someone tried to pull her away, but she shrugged with her chest puffed out and rammed into the man, crying, "You rascal, where are you touching, you rascal!"
"Oh my God, please come and take a look at this ungrateful bastard that I have raised since childhood.
After getting married, she doesn't care about her family's life or death. She is such a heartless person! "
"You vixen who stole my cousin's man, you are so shameless! You can't give birth to a child without an asshole!"
A group of men looked at each other and said, "Go ahead, she's a woman."
Don't do it, are you just waiting for her to mess around?
"You shameless old bastard, you only spew shit out of your mouth. You are here to bring bad luck to my nephew's wedding. I, old lady, will tear your dog mouth apart."
A sturdy, round-faced old lady emerged from the crowd. She lifted Wang Juhua's collar and dragged her aside. She grabbed Wang Juhua's lips with both hands and pulled them, then slapped her several times.
The slap made a loud and crisp sound. Wang Juhua's face turned blue and red, drooling, and she couldn't speak.
Seeing the old lady's eight martial arts, all the men in the family stood up and said politely, "Aunt."
"Great aunt."
The eldest aunt of the Qi family, Qi Shengnan, waved her hands, with an angry expression on her face, "A woman like you has captured a bunch of grown men. You are hopeless!
Forget it, forget it. Just take good care of the bride's things. If one of them is missing, I, the old lady, will not forgive you."
All the men in the Qi family tensed up and replied, "Yes!"
Jiang Changyi's arms were clamped by two men, and his legs were shaking like sieves. He glanced at Wang Juhua lying on the ground wailing, and then glanced at the old lady who was staring at him covetously.
In the end, I didn't have the courage to help, so I hid back in the house with my neck shrunk.
Jiang Li saw Wang Juhua being beaten through the crowd and whispered in Qi Shaoqiang's ear, "Did you arrange this?"
Qi Shaoqiang smiled and said, "Well, just in case!"
"The old lady is the most powerful one in our village. She is very good at fighting! She has never lost a battle. It was my grandmother who invited her."
Jiang Li chuckled, "I figured it out. I'll find a chance to thank the old lady."
Jiang Hongmei waited in the house and found that Zhuang Guoliang, who was supposed to pick up the bride, had not come yet, but Qi Shaoqiang arrived first.
A large group of people came to pick up the bride in a noisy and lively manner on new bicycles, followed by several cars of betrothal gifts. The wedding candies and fireworks were all of the best quality, and the ceremony was extremely grand and impressive.
The onlookers got a real benefit, and the good words were thrown around without paying.
One moment they say the groom is rich and generous, the next moment they say the bride and groom are a perfect match, and the next moment they say Jiang Li is lucky.
Jiang Hongmei bit her lip and hid behind the window, her heart burning with jealousy! But she changed her mind and comforted herself.
Zhuang Guoliang has money, so the ceremony of picking up the bride today shouldn’t be bad!
"Hey, here comes the Zhuang family boy."
Jiang Hongmei was extremely surprised when she heard this. She quickly straightened her clothes and walked out with her chest puffed out.
It turned out that Zhuang Guoliang was standing alone in the huge courtyard. Upon further inquiry, it turned out that he had walked here.
Zhuang Guoliang was wearing tattered clothes and had a gloomy face, as if his mother had died. He did not look like he was getting married, but rather came to attend a funeral.
