Gu Yanliu quickly waved her hand, "No need, I have clothes to wear."
Besides, if I need clothes, my brother and sister-in-law will buy them for me.
Also, my brother forbids me from accepting things from other people.
Gu Yanliu didn't even glance at the dress and walked straight toward Su Nianxue.
"Huh, why aren't you watching anymore?" Su Nianxue asked.
"I've finished reading it!" She whispered in Su Nianxue's ear, "My brother has the best taste."
The clothes he brought back are much nicer than those in this store!
Su Nianxue smiled and whispered to her, "Okay. When we get back, I'll talk to your brother and ask him to buy you two more."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Then I won't be polite!"
Wu Xiaomei was thinking of picking out another dress for her to try on.
Seeing the two women whispering to each other, he immediately gave up on the idea.
Wang Erya only glanced at it before walking out. "Nianxue, let's go! It's time to go back!"
Wu Xiaomei said with a smile, "Come visit often in the future!"
However, she was mainly saying this to Gu Yanliu.
Su Nianxue didn't care; she didn't think she could be easily swayed by a little favor.
Then she doesn't deserve to be treated well.
The four women walked home chatting and laughing.
As I passed by the river, I saw a familiar figure in the distance, laboriously washing clothes by the river.
There was a large pile of washed clothes next to her.
People by the river heard the voices and looked up in the direction of the sound.
When their eyes met, the person quickly lowered their head again.
She was afraid that Su Nianxue would recognize her.
But the truth is, Su Nianxue recognized her at a glance.
She paused for a moment, but quickly resumed chatting and laughing with Wang Erya and the others as if nothing had happened.
It was as if they had never seen the people on the riverbank clearly.
Only after the group of girls had walked away did Su Jiaojiao raise her head again.
Su Nianxue must be very pleased with herself now that she's in such a sorry state!
He must be secretly laughing at her!
She picked up a mallet and began to beat the clothes heavily.
I only felt a little better after the wet clothes were completely dry.
It's all that old hag's fault.
They forced her to wash clothes by the river, and now she's completely lost face.
She could only give the old woman a good scolding, rub her aching back, and continue washing the remaining clothes.
That wasn't the end of it. When she carried a full load of wet clothes home...
Hu Guizhen said with a look of disgust, "It's just a few pieces of clothing, and you've been washing them for hours?"
I thought you fell into the river and were swept away by the water!
Su Jiaojiao, this is no way to be lazy!
There are only so many chores to do at home; even if you try to avoid them, they're still yours.
Su Jiaojiao had no way to express her suffering. She had Wang Lanhua protecting her in the Su family. When had she ever done so much work?
Didn't you see that her fingers are all chafed raw today, but she's still complaining about it?
For the first time, she felt regret; perhaps she shouldn't have married into the Wang family.
But now it's too late to say anything... It's all done now.
If she were to marry into a family in the village, where both families are of similar means, she might be able to find a way to completely control the entire family.
Instead of ending up like this, not getting any benefits and being exhausted.
She suppressed her anger and said, "I'll go cook right away!"
And so, amidst all the hustle and bustle, the second day of their marriage passed by.
Not only was he busy, but he was also frequently accompanied by Hu Guizhen's loud scolding and cursing.
When she finished washing the dishes and dragged her tired body into her room...
Faced with the man's overt and covert provocations, she lost all interest.
Finally, the day of returning to the bride's parents' home arrived.
As soon as they arrived at the Su family home, Wang Lanhua pulled her into the room to whisper to her.
She had the same idea; she wanted to properly explain to Wang Lanhua the grievances she had suffered in the Wang family.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lanhua didn't mention her time in the Wang family at all.
She hurriedly asked, "Jiaojiao, do you have any money left?"
Su Jiaojiao was stunned. "Did your uncle ask you for money again?"
Before Wang Lanhua could speak, she jumped up from her chair.
He lowered his voice and shouted, "Mom, wake up!"
That whole family is like leeches crawling all over you, sucking your blood.
If you keep giving in to them, they'll drain you dry sooner or later.
"No, it's not your uncles asking me for money, it's your dad." Wang Lanhua quickly waved her hand.
"Oh, what's wrong with Su Jianguo again?"
Now that she's married, she's no longer afraid of him and simply calls him by his name.
"You child, even though he's not your biological father."
But he raised you for so many years, how can you just call him by his name?
Su Jiaojiao was impatient to listen to her talk. "Just tell me, what is it?"
"Oh, it's the carpenter who came to our house asking for money!"
"We're out of money, so..." Wang Lanhua stammered.
"That's what you owe, what does it have to do with me?" Su Jiaojiao replied lazily.
"Jiaojiao, how could you say that?"
That money was incurred to prepare your dowry, how can you say that?"
Looking at Su Jiaojiao like this, Wang Lanhua suddenly felt very unfamiliar.
Is this really the daughter she raised from childhood?
Su Jiaojiao said, "He accepted the betrothal money from the Wang family, so isn't it only right that he prepares a dowry? He can't just take it and not give it back!"
