After hearing this, Du Ming and Yang Li hurried forward and took the cloth bag.
When I opened it, I saw that it was full of white rice, and it was quite heavy.
Du Ming was stunned for a moment, then handed the bag to Sun Xiu, "You should take this food back. We've eaten so much today, and we haven't given you the rest yet. It's even more embarrassing to accept this."
Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Du, didn't you give us food today? This matter is over now, and don't mention it again."
Du Ming waved his hands repeatedly, "That won't work. Our family has a lot to eat today. I'll send you the remaining food tomorrow."
Seeing this, Li Jiakang stepped forward to persuade him, "Brother Du, today is a good day for our two families to get married. Don't mention the lack of food. Just consider it our token of appreciation."
Du Ming insisted on giving it.
But Li Jiakang refused no matter what he said.
Seeing the situation deadlocked again, Yang Li interrupted and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, but you must take this bag of food back."
Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Then you can't take it back. Besides, this food is not for you two."
"Hmm?" Yang Li didn't quite understand. "Then what is this food?"
"This is a gift from our family to Xiaohong."
Yang Li was also confused after hearing this. "Gift? Didn't you give the betrothal gift?"
When getting engaged today, Sun Xiu had already given 6 yuan as a betrothal gift and said that she would prepare everything needed before the two of them got married.
Du Ming and the others naturally had no objection to this.
Sun Xiu waved her hand, "It's not a betrothal gift, it's a gift."
Yang Li was also at a loss for words. "It doesn't matter if it's a gift or not, we can't accept it."
Sun Xiu didn't respond to Yang Li's words, and directly said to Du Hong, "Xiaohong, this is a gift from our family for you. Please accept it and don't worry about your parents."
Du Hong also waved her hands repeatedly, "Auntie, I can't accept this."
Sun Xiu's face suddenly turned serious. "Why, do you think this gift is not enough?"
Du Hong was suddenly at a loss and looked at Du Ming and the others for help.
Yang Li knew that Sun Xiu was trying to scare Du Hong, and was about to speak.
Li Xu stepped forward and said, "Xiaohong, just accept it, otherwise my mother will be angry."
Du Hong looked at Sun Xiu's tense face and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I will..."
At this time, Yang Li quickly interrupted, "You silly child, your Aunt Sun is trying to scare you."
Du Hong finally realized, "Ah, then I can't accept it."
Sun Xiu only smiled at this moment, "That won't do. You just agreed."
Li Xu and the others also echoed, "Yes, you agreed to it."
Du Hong stood there, rubbing the corner of her clothes with her little hands, not knowing what to do.
Du Ming sighed, "Then accept it. Thank you, uncle and aunt."
When Du Hong heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Li Jiakang and the others.
Sun Xiu and the other two also agreed.
Du Ming then looked at them, his lips trembling, and after a long pause he said, "Thank you so much."
Li Jiakang quickly responded, "We're all family from now on, why are you saying these things?"
Sun Xiu also agreed, "Yes, yes, we are all family, there is no need to say thank you. It's getting late, you should go back quickly."
Seeing this, Du Ming didn't say anything more. He called his family and went back.
Along the way, everyone was silent.
Even Du Sen seemed to sense that the atmosphere was wrong and didn't dare to speak.
After returning home, several people sat in the main room with the bag of grain on the table.
After a long while, Du Ming finally sighed, "This time I owe a lot."
Yang Li also sighed and glanced at Du Hong, "I just don't know if Xiaohong will be wronged when she marries him in the future."
Although Du Hong was a little confused, she still said, "No, Uncle Li and the others are very nice to me."
Du Ming also said, "That shouldn't be the case. We've seen how the old Li couple treat Xiaohong, and Xiaoxu treats her even better."
Du Feng was scratching his head, looking confused. "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Besides, isn't this food given to my younger sister by Uncle Li and the others? Why are you bringing up whether I'll be wronged in the future?"
Du Ming glared at him and said unhappily, "You know nothing. You only grow older but not smarter, don't you?"
Seeing Du Feng being scolded, Du Hong also said, "Dad, please tell me, I don't understand either."
Seeing Du Hong speak, Du Ming's expression became much better. "Xiaohong, that's right. If you don't understand something in the future, just ask more. Your parents will explain it to you. Otherwise, you will suffer when you get married."
Du Feng: ...
Du Feng suddenly felt the disparity in the world.
But fortunately, he still has a "brother in need" to accompany him.
Seeing Du Sen playing with candy like a little fool beside him, I felt much better immediately.
Du Hong's face instantly turned red again, "Dad~~ What did you say?"
Yang Li then continued, "Your father is right. You should be careful about everything in the future. You should know that your parents won't be able to help you after you get married."
Du Hong also knew that Yang Li and the others were doing this for her own good. After all, once she got married, she would have parents-in-law above her, children below her, and her husband's brothers and sisters in between. How could she not handle these relationships well?
So he nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry. Please tell me what happened just now."
Yang Li was very pleased to see Du Hong being so obedient. "Xiao Hong, who do you think this food is for?"
Du Hong was stunned. "Isn't it for me?"
"Yes, Aunt Sun and the others said this is a gift for my younger sister." Du Feng felt that he knew the answer to this question and answered it quickly.
Yang Li also glared at Du Feng, then sighed, "Have you ever heard of anyone giving so much fine grain to a newly engaged daughter-in-law these days?"
Du Feng and Du Hong looked at each other, thought about it, and shook their heads.
After seeing the two's actions, Yang Li continued, "That's right. They said it was for Xiaohong, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a subsidy for our family. They only said it was a gift for Xiaohong to save my face and your father's."
When Du Feng heard this, he quickly said, "Mom, then we can also not accept it."
After hearing such stupid words, Yang Li and Du Ming looked at each other and sighed.
Yang Li smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think we really don't want to refuse? But we really don't have the courage. We're distributing food coupons today, and everyone's rations have been reduced again."
Du Feng and the other two finally understood.
They knew about it, but they didn't expect so much.
Once this was said, I immediately understood.
Du Hong then asked, "Mom, what do you mean by worrying that I'll be wronged in the future?"
