When Qin Wanwan first heard that Qin Renmin was going to the Xiang family to propose marriage, he felt very complicated.
On the one hand, she hopes that her best friend can be closer to her, and on the other hand, she doesn't want Xiang Mianmian to suffer after marrying into her family.
Don’t talk about whether to marry into the family or not. When a man becomes cold-blooded and ruthless, no one can do anything to him.
Her family appears to be well-maintained and seems to be treating her daughter well.
In fact, she was cold-blooded and didn't care about her daughter at all. If she hadn't been smart, she would have ended up like Qin Sui.
In the end, she decided not to get involved and follow Xiang Mianmian's choice.
Because Qin Wanwan knew that someone as smart as Xiang Mianmian should have understood what kind of hell the Qin family was from her usual situation.
She had no say at home and could only remain silent and not help.
If you dare to interrupt this marriage and anger your parents and brothers, they might get so angry that they sell her at a low price.
Qin Wanwan could only pray that her best friend would be wise and not accept Qin Renmin out of weakness.
Fortunately, Xiang Mianmian did not disappoint expectations and did not like this marriage at all.
That’s right, why would a family that truly loves their daughter choose a hypocritical family like the Qin family as their in-laws?
With the Xiang family's clear rejection, Qin Wanwan was able to refuse to reconcile with the two without being held accountable by his family.
Xiang Mianmian knew Qin Wanwan's difficulties, but she was still as affectionate to her best friend as usual.
The two did not become estranged because Qin Renmin's marriage proposal failed.
Well, everyone has a different stance, there's no need to get upset over a small matter.
The two best friends were at home, and the New Year was coming to an end soon.
On the 28th day of the lunar year, people not only put up window flowers but also Spring Festival couplets.
It is worth mentioning that the Xiang and Chen families did not put up window flowers, and the Spring Festival couplets they put up were no longer the traditional red ones.
Because both families are in mourning period, they cannot use the celebratory red color.
According to local customs, the Chen family posts the heaviest white Spring Festival couplets, while the Xiang family posts green Spring Festival couplets.
White Spring Festival couplets are posted in the first year after the death of an elderly person in the family, yellow ones in the second year, and green ones in the third year.
The Xiang family's mourning period was lighter because Xiang Hongqi's elder brother of the same generation had passed away, so they only had to observe the mourning period for one year and used green couplets.
It allows people to know the family's situation at a glance.
Unless the relatives are very close, they usually won't enter this family's home and always have to avoid it.
Most of them stand outside the door, bow or kneel and kowtow according to their seniority, and then leave.
In some places, it is customary not to post couplets during the mourning period to express grief and respect for the deceased.
Lanterns cannot be hung during the mourning period, and everything should be kept simple.
In fact, there are still many rules, but these customs have gradually been simplified and are not as strict as in ancient times.
After all, there are very few people who can build a house and live there.
The country is also short of labor to build its homeland at this time, and cannot allow the people to waste six years in mourning.
If the customs of the mourning period were strictly observed, many people in important positions would be in trouble.
However, there are some customs that can be followed, such as abstaining from sexual intercourse, not getting married, and eating less meat and fish.
Xiang Mianmian, who originally thought that it had nothing to do with her while she was in mourning, discovered that the most luxurious New Year’s Eve dinner had become plain.
It looks like meat dish on the surface, but it’s all vegetarian when you take a bite!
Oh my god, this is the difference between a seller's show and a buyer's show. How come there are still people who commit dish scams?!
But when she thought about it, she knew why.
My uncle passed away and I should observe mourning this year. I am afraid that others will find fault with me during the New Year, so I should be grateful for being able to eat such vegetarian food.
At least the meat tastes very good.
Xiang Mianmian ate two large bowls with tears in her eyes, and couldn't stop praising her mother: "Mom, your cooking is so delicious."
Her cheeks were so plump from eating so much that they looked so good to pinch.
Zhang Jidi looked at his little daughter wolfing down the food kindly, and told her to eat slowly and not to rush.
Even the little niece Xiang Youfeng wanted to give the fake chicken leg in the bowl to her aunt.
The little girl looked so cute when she was serious. She couldn’t use her chopsticks well and couldn’t pick up anything after a long time. So she just held up the bowl and said, “Auntie, Auntie, this is for you~”
She was afraid that her aunt, who was so hungry, would have nothing to eat, and her eyes were sincere and clear.
Who doesn’t love such a cute thing!
Xiang Mianmian had no resistance at all and was so attracted by the cuteness that she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and held the person in her arms and rubbed him for a while.
Wang Chunting, who was standing next to them, watched the aunt and niece playing with a smile.
She was surprised for a moment when Zhang Jidi said he wanted to keep his sister-in-law at home and marry into a family.
Normally, when there are three male children in the family, and even grandchildren Xiang Youzhi and Xiang Youjun have been born, the family should not take in another son-in-law.
Because this means that a share of the family property must be given to the sister-in-law.
If it were an ordinary family, they would have been at loggerheads with each other long ago. Even if they could maintain peace on the surface, there would be complaints behind the scenes.
Who would want their inheritance to be smaller?
However, Wang Chunting even fully supports Xiang Mianmian's decision to stay at home and marry into her family.
Not to mention that I owe my sister-in-law a favor at work, Xiang Mianmian seems to have a bright future. Maybe the whole family will have to rely on her to support her.
Marrying her off will only benefit other families, so it would be better to marry her off to a son-in-law at home.
Being a teacher is great. You have a high social status and a stable salary, and you usually have plenty of free time. It’s so enviable.
Whose child doesn’t have time to study?
She feels much more at ease with such a sister-in-law at home.
