Chapter 108 Dowry



No wonder Li Hui is like this.

As a girl, I am still relatively favored at home.

But she never thought that such a good thing would happen to her.

Her biggest idea before was to find a down-to-earth and steady man in the countryside to marry and have children.

Spend your whole life facing the earth and back to the sky.

As for marrying someone from the city, that is wishful thinking.

Of course, Li Qiang and Qin Hua are exceptions.

Now, when Li Hui goes out, she can say that she is a city dweller and still has a job.

There will naturally be more and better choices in the future.

Li Jiakang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiaohui, get up."

Li Hui wiped away her tears, stood up and said with a sob, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

After saying that, she couldn't help crying again.

Duan Xiaoyun, who was standing by, also stepped forward and pulled her aside to comfort her.

Old Master Li took a puff of his pipe and said, "Second Brother, spread the word tomorrow that our Xiaohui doesn't want to see you anymore."

Li Jiafu said "hmm".

Li Jiakang and Li Xu were stunned. Li Xu hesitated and said, "Master, what do you mean by seeing each other?"

Mr. Li explained, "We're arranging a blind date for Xiaohui. There are quite a few people in the brigade who have come to propose marriage to Xiaohui. We agreed before because we thought Xiaohui was about the right age. But now that Xiaohui has a job, she's not suitable for a country boy. She'll definitely look for someone with a job in the future."

Duan Xiaoyun also added, "Fortunately, Xiaohui didn't fancy the previous ones, otherwise if this happened, what would our family do?"

Li Hui cried and blushed as she called out, "Mom~~"

Li Xu was a little confused. "Second Uncle, your family is not short of food now. Besides, how can other families afford to marry a bride?"

Li Jiafu grinned, "Ever since we got the guns, everyone thinks my family has food. But now it's hard to use force, so they all want to marry Xiaohui. I can't just watch my in-laws starve to death, right?"

"What about you?"

"They're right. I only have Xiaohui as my daughter, and she's not young anymore, so I just agreed. No matter who they end up choosing, I'll definitely support them. They definitely won't let my daughter suffer, otherwise I'll tear down their house and no one will say anything."

Li Xu immediately understood.

Li Jiafu was also thinking about Xiaohui's future.

Anyway, it's time to get married.

As long as he finds someone he likes, Li Jiafu will send food to the other family and let them feel grateful for his kindness.

This way, the other party won't let Xiaohui suffer anymore.

Otherwise, Li Jiafu would have a legitimate reason to help Xiaohui vent her anger.

Many people today still hold on to outdated ideas.

It takes some time to negotiate when a new daughter-in-law comes home.

It seems that this is the only way to show off one's power.

But Li Jiafu only has this one precious daughter, how could he bear to let her suffer like this?

Li Xu laughed out loud, "Second Uncle, you don't have to worry about Xiaohui's marriage from now on. With these conditions, wouldn't people in the city be eager to marry her?"

Li Jiafu also laughed heartily. "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a good son-in-law for me in the future."

At this time, Li Jiakang said, "I have to be frank here. Xiaohui has been raised by my husband and me since she was a child. She is no different from our own child. This job is her dowry from our family. Even if Xiaohui gets married in the future, none of you are allowed to use this as an excuse. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Mr. Li finally said, "Boss, have you decided?"

Li Jiakang nodded, "It's decided. No matter who brings this up from now on, don't blame me for getting angry."

Mr. Li took a long drag on his cigarette and stood up. "Well, now that we've come to this, let's all bear witness. From now on, this job will only belong to Xiaohui."

After saying that, he glanced at the brothers Li Jianguo and Li Jianjun next to him.

Li Jiafu and Duan Xiaoyun immediately understood and expressed their willingness to bear witness.

Duan Xiaoyun pulled Li Hui forward and said, "Why are you still crying? Go kowtow to your uncle again."

Although Li Hui still didn't quite understand, she still did as she was told and kowtowed again.

Li Jiakang also smiled and pulled her up, touching her head. "My daughter, this is all I can do. In the future, you can use the money you earn from work to support your parents. You don't need anything from me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiafu said anxiously, "Brother, we all remember your kindness to Xiaohui, but we still have to give her the money."

Li Jiakang waved his hand, "It's already a dowry, why would you ask for money?"

After that, he turned to Li Hui and said, "My daughter, when you get married in the future, your uncle won't give you any dowry. So don't say that your uncle and aunt are stingy."

Everyone in the room laughed at this.

Duan Xiaoyun also said, "Brother, if you are still stingy, there will be no generous people in the whole county."

Li Hui shook her head. "Uncle, you and Auntie are not stingy. You will have a seat at the table when the time comes."

Li Jiakang laughed heartily, "Okay, we'll take the seats then."

However, Li Jiafu still said, "Then let's do this, big brother. I'll pay for Xiaohui's job. Xiaoqiang also hands over some money to the family every month. I'll have him pass it on to you when the time comes."

Li Jiakang glanced at him and said unhappily, "Alright, if you say you don't want it, then you don't want it. You should keep the money for yourself. It's getting late, and we should leave."

Li Jiakang's words revealed the aura of a wealthy man.

After saying that, he said hello and walked out with Li Xu.

Everyone in the house hurried out to see them off.

After the two of them walked away, everyone who returned to the house started talking again.

Duan Xiaoyun touched Li Hui's head and said earnestly, "My daughter, your uncle and his family really treat you like their own daughter. You must be filial to them in the future. You must also give them some of the things your father and I have."

Li Jiafu nodded. "That's true. Even in the entire county, how many families would give their daughter a job as a dowry? Not to mention your niece, and your uncle and his men have already taken care of all your worries."

"Ah?" Li Hui was still confused.

Seeing her like this, Duan Xiaoyun tapped her forehead with his hand and said unhappily, "Silly girl, you are really a fool with good fortune."

Then he explained, "What your uncle meant by that is to prevent your family from asking you to give your job back after you get married. To put it bluntly, this job will only be yours from now on. Even we can't force you to give it up, otherwise your uncle will turn against us. Do you understand now?"

Li Hui looked shocked, "I understand."

After all, she is still young, and if Duan Xiaoyun hadn't explained it to her, she really wouldn't understand it now.
