The Xian family married Li Tao off with great fanfare. It was neither a festival nor a holiday, and it was also a weekend, so everyone came to share in the joy when they had time.
After the bride left, Mother Xian asked Father Xian to greet the guests while she went downstairs with a towel with the word "double happiness" on it.
She met up with her son Xian Baogen who was waiting downstairs, and then went straight to Xiang Hongqi's house.
Mother Xian didn't know that as soon as she and her partner approached the downstairs of the Xiang family's building, they were stared at by more than ten pairs of eyes.
Although they knew that Xian Ma, a familiar face, was not a spy, who knew if she had been paid to steal things?
If the manuscript were to be lost right under their noses again, how would they have the nerve to claim that they had been police officers their entire lives?
Holding the bottle of medicine, Xian Ma was very confident that her plan would succeed and her daughter-in-law Xiang Lili would not be able to escape from her control.
Because his son likes her, he will tolerate Xiang Lili's bad temper and wait until she gives birth to a baby.
What is Xiang Lili, who is being missed by Xian Ma, doing?
She was leisurely packing her dowry at home. The May Day report date was approaching, so she had to sort out the dowry into a list and hand it to Yin Gan, so that if anything was missing, there would still be time to make up for it.
It must be said that Xiang Lili's dowry was really huge. She counted it two or three times before she could figure out how many things there were.
Xiang Meimei got married early because Chen Wei couldn't wait. She had only saved a few months' salary and her family was not well off, so her dowry was just average.
Xiang Lili is different. She has a high salary and has paid for the household expenses for almost five years, so now her dowry is particularly large.
The furniture and other items are of normal size and specifications, and she looks no different from an ordinary bride, but there is a lot going on inside.
She bought small, high-value items, with gold being the largest purchase.
The main reason is that Xiang Mianmian has already told them that gold is the most valuable and will not deteriorate over time, so it is more worthy of collection than money.
Xiang Lili thought it made sense. The most common item in the dowry was gold jewelry. Although the price of gold had been rising slowly in recent years, now reaching more than 6 yuan to nearly 7 yuan per gram, she was still happy to buy it.
This thing is indestructible and durable, and has many advantages, but you have to be careful about it being stolen.
Xiang Lili often counted the gold and smiled like a miser while holding it.
Just as I was getting excited, I heard a knock on the door.
Last night, her aunt Zhang Aihua sent a message saying that she was unwell and had been admitted to the emergency room. Zhang Jidi went to visit her and had not returned yet.
Xiang Mianmian went to the methane plant to assemble machines early in the morning. Her father Xiang Hongqi had not yet finished get off work, so Xiang Lili was the only one left at home.
Xiang Lili knew that they all had keys and would not knock on the door, so the person knocking on the door must be someone else.
So she remained alert and didn't open the door. She approached the door and asked, "Who is it? What's going on?"
Mother Xian asked her son to hide first and said with a smile, "Lili, it's me, your Aunt Xian. Li Tao is getting married today, and I'm sending you one of her double happiness towels to share in her good fortune."
She spoke in a familiar and natural manner, as if the two families were very good neighbors.
When Xiang Lili heard this name, she became angry. She could not forget the embarrassment, surprise and awkwardness she felt when Xian Baogen called her "Li Li's wife" in the staff quarters.
It felt like a lump in my throat, and I wished I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
So Xiang Lili decisively refused: "No need, your daughter-in-law remarried, is it such a big deal?"
Not to mention that Li Tao and Gou Fugui got married after being caught having an affair, remarriage itself is not like the first marriage, which makes people want to share in the good fortune.
It’s not that remarrying will be looked down upon, but people all want good luck. For newlyweds, they are afraid of ending up having to remarry as well.
The perfect couple for making the bed at a wedding needs to have both parents still alive, children all together, and a harmonious marriage. They still attach great importance to good intentions.
Although Xiang Lili's words were blunt, they were the truth.
Xian Ma's face was grim for a moment, then she forced a smile and continued knocking on the door:
"Lili, don't say that. She didn't marry my son. She just came to help take care of Xian Daya for a few days. She met my nephew and married him because she thought he was a good person."
This is how she deceived others. They didn't get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding banquet, and they just moved into her house.
Now it is said that Li Tao is taking care of her niece as a sister-in-law. It is normal for her to marry into a good family. She can't delay her pursuit of happiness, right?
No matter what others say, at least this set of rhetoric makes everyone look good.
Xiang Lili didn't care about this so-called joy: "Give it to someone else. I can't bear your family's joy!"
She firmly believed that the couple's good life was created by themselves, and it didn't matter whether they were involved in the joy or not, especially the joy of the Xian family, she would not get involved!
Why endure the nausea and feel happy now, only to get angry when you see this towel later?
After being rejected repeatedly, Xian's mother could no longer hold back her temper, and her voice turned cold: "Lili, this is all for your own good. Neighbors, please open the door. I'll give you a towel and leave."
She refused to give up this opportunity and lingered on for a while.
Xiang Lili was so annoyed that she felt it was embarrassing to keep her outside, so she opened the door and let her in.
Anyway, it was broad daylight, and there were people coming and going in the family compound. Xian Ma was just an unarmed woman delivering towels, so there shouldn't be any problem.
You can just keep this towel at home and use it as a rag, which is a way to recycle waste.
