Wu Chunlan glanced at Yan Qiuting, who said he could give it to them anytime, but only if they went back immediately. Otherwise, what would happen if they took the betrothal gifts and then caused trouble here?
Yun Xiaoqin also asked, "When are you going back?"
At this point, Liu Sixi regretted making things so tense. She said, "Since we've already agreed to your plan, can't we stay here a few more days? That was your original plan when you sent us here."
"That was then, but now I don't think you deserve it." Yun Xiaoqin snorted and said irritably, "I'll give you half first, and I'll send you the other half after we get back."
Liu Sixi wasn't worried that Yun Xiaoqin and the others wouldn't pay; he just wanted to stay and play for a few more days. "Then we'll go back now. Who will help you with the wedding arrangements? Aren't you worried that without your maternal family, the Yan family will bully you?"
Yun Xiaoqin let out another cold laugh, "You're the ones who bullied me."
Then, Yun Xiaoqin looked at Yun Daqing and Song Qinglian and said, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, could you please help me with the wedding arrangements?"
Yun Daqing immediately agreed, and his niece was treated the same as his daughter.
Seeing this, Yun Dasheng quickly agreed, "Well, that's fine then. Daqing, I'll leave Xiaoqin's matter to you... this..."
Yun Dasheng actually regretted it a bit. He shouldn't have been so greedy. Otherwise, if he had talked to Yun Daqing and the others properly, he might have been able to find something to do in Kyoto.
But now it's impossible, and he's resigned to it.
Yun Daqing nodded to Yun Dasheng, "Brother, don't worry about this. Xiaoqin is my own niece, and I will definitely arrange her wedding in a proper and respectable manner."
Immediately afterward, Song Qinglian added sarcastically, "We'll take care of her here. You all stay home and do your best. Don't always think about exploiting your daughter. She has her own family now and needs to live her own life."
Song Qinglian's words made Yun Dasheng blush. They were indeed irresponsible parents, never thinking about their daughter and only caring about themselves.
The Yan family kept their word and gave Yun Xiaoqin the dowry they had promised.
Since they couldn't take the three turns and one sound with them, they gave them cash instead.
However, Yun Xiaoqin only gave them half; she would send the rest back to them after she returned.
In the end, they went back with three hundred yuan in cash, and there was still four hundred yuan with Yun Xiaoqin, who had promised to give it to them. This was quite a sum of money.
Liu Sixi and his group were satisfied with the money and didn't cause any more trouble. They immediately returned to their hometown.
Three days later, Yun Xiaoqin and Yan Qiuting breathed a sigh of relief.
On the Yan family's side, they also called Yun Xiaoqin and Yun Duoduo's family to start discussing how to handle the marriage.
The Yan family still respected Yun Xiaoqin and let her make her requests.
Yun Xiaoqin shook her head and said with a smile, "Actually, there's not much to prepare. We don't have many relatives or friends in Kyoto. We're all family. We'll just have a meal together, get our marriage certificate, and then go to a photo studio to take pictures."
Yun Daqing is now considered Yun Xiaoqin's parent, and he agrees, "That's good. As long as they live a good life in the future, that's better than anything else."
Wu Chunlan saw that it was Yun Xiaoqin who suggested it, so she agreed, "If you all think this way, I have no objection. Let's inform our relatives that the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, so let's get things done and book three tables at a restaurant."
Actually, wedding ceremonies are pretty much the same in the countryside, except that there are more relatives and friends from the village in the countryside, while in Kyoto, it's all family.
Yun Daqing nodded. "Okay."
After saying all that, Yun Xiaoqin suddenly remembered something, so she took a cloth bag out of her pocket and handed it to Wu Chunlan, "Auntie, this is the money I've earned in the past six months. I haven't spent any of it. Take it, consider it compensation for the money I gave to my family. My mother and her family are really too greedy, I..."
Yun Xiaoqin was too embarrassed to continue.
Seeing this, Wu Chunlan immediately returned the money, saying, "Silly child, that money wasn't mine; it belonged to Qiu Ting."
Ultimately, Wu Chunlan was still satisfied with Yun Xiaoqin.
When Yan Gusheng was sick, she didn't know what to do if Yun Xiaoqin hadn't helped take care of him.
Furthermore, she also saw Yun Xiaoqin during her time in Kyoto.
Although this child is not perfect, she is good at managing a household and genuinely likes Yan Qiuting, and that's enough.
After hearing this, Xiaoqin handed the money to Yan Qiuting, saying, "Qiuting, I'll give you all this money. Save it and we'll buy a house together sometime."
Yan Qiuting glared at her reproachfully, "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? We're getting married soon, and we'll be a couple from now on. Our family is letting you manage the money. When we get back, I'll give you all the money, and you can keep it."
Yun Xiaoqin felt quite embarrassed by these words, since they weren't married yet.
Besides, in their rural area, the custom is that if the family hasn't separated, the money should be managed by the mother-in-law.
Yun Xiaoqin was afraid that Yan Qiuting's words would anger Wu Chunlan, so she looked at Wu Chunlan and said, "Mother, how about we give you all our money and you keep it for us?"
"No way, I hate managing money. You guys keep it yourselves." Since coming to Kyoto, Wu Chunlan's horizons have broadened considerably. She stuffed the money into Yun Xiaoqin's bag, smiling.
"In short, you two work hard and make money. We two old folks don't need your help for now. Your younger brother Dongdong doesn't spend much money right now. If there comes a day when he needs your help, just lend a hand."
Yun Xiaoqin couldn't refuse any longer, so she immediately nodded, "Okay, remember to let us know if the family needs money."
Soon, it will be the day of Yan Qiuting and Yun Xiaoqin's wedding.
Early in the morning, Yun Xiaoqin came to Yun Duoduo's place and asked Yun Duoduo to do her makeup. She was going to get her marriage certificate with Yan Qiuting and then take photos, so she needed to dress up nicely.
As Yun Duoduo applied makeup to Yun Xiaoqin, she reflected on her relationship with Yun Xiaoqin.
At home, she and Yun Xiaoqin were always at odds, so it was truly unexpected that the two of them would get along so well.
Yun Xiaoqin also admitted that the reason she always caused trouble for Yun Duoduo back home was actually out of deep-seated jealousy; Yun Duoduo was too happy.
They are both children of the Yun family, both daughters, but Yun Duoduo is highly valued by her family.
Her parents, however, favored sons over daughters and didn't take her seriously.
In addition, life at home is too hard and too stifling, so people's perspectives naturally become narrow.
After coming to Kyoto, I was able to make money and live a good life. I saw everything and my perspective broadened considerably.
Regardless of any past misunderstandings between Yun Duoduo and Yun Xiaoqin, after this incident, they have reconciled and are now family.
After saying all that, everyone stopped talking about those unhappy things. Yun Xiaoqin even joked with Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, should I call you sister-in-law or little sister from now on?"
