In order to marry into the city with dignity, Shen Fengxia asked for a lot of dowry, but the Shen family was a rural family at that time, so where would they get so much dowry for her?
It just so happened that the daughter of a county party committee leader fell in love with Shen Qingfeng, but the leader had an only daughter in his family and needed to find a son-in-law.
Shen Qingfeng was unwilling at first, but after Shen Fengxia knew that the leader could give Shen Qingsong a considerable gift, she cried and begged him every day.
Shen Qingfeng also loved his sister and didn't want her to be looked down upon by her husband's family, so he finally compromised.
But who would have thought that the compromise he made for his sister back then would now become his weakness that his sister used to attack him.
Shen Fengxia was unconvinced and wanted to speak.
Shen Qingsong was also angry, "Shen Fengxia, today is my daughter's day, I don't want to make it too ugly. We have also returned the money to you, you leave quickly!"
Shen Fengxia never expected that this cowardly little brother would dare to ask her to leave.
Suddenly I felt as if I was slapped twice in the face, and my face was burning with pain.
She gritted her teeth and pointed at Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingsong, "Okay, okay, you two losers! You're going to chase me away, right? You'd better not come to my door to beg for mercy in the future!"
Shen Fengxia climbed onto the donkey cart angrily.
Shen Qingsong held Shen Qingfeng's hand and said, "Brother, I'm sorry! I wanted you to come to Ningning's wedding to have fun, but I didn't expect..."
Shen Qingfeng held Shen Qingsong's hand tightly, "Third brother, we are two brothers, let's not talk about this. I am very happy to see Ningning marrying into a good family..."
As Shen Qingfeng spoke, his eyes turned red with excitement.
Shen Chuning quickly stepped forward and supported Shen Qingfeng's other arm, "Uncle."
Shen Qingfeng stuffed the red envelope that he had prepared long ago into Shen Chuning's hand, "Ningning, uncle doesn't have anything good to give you. This red envelope is a little gift from uncle. You can take it as a gift."
It was difficult for Shen Chu Ning to refuse the elders' kindness at this time, so he accepted it readily, "Thank you, uncle."
When she returned to the house, Shen Chuning discovered that there was a full twenty yuan in the red envelope that her uncle gave her.
Nowadays, when people attend weddings, those with average relationship give 20 cents, those with slightly better relationship give 50 cents, and those with particularly close relatives give one or two yuan. Five yuan is the most that can be given.
Shen Chuning knew that although his uncle's Yue family had some power and was not short of money, his uncle's life as a live-in son-in-law was not easy.
Last year, when their family was building a house, the uncle lent them one hundred yuan, which was all the money he had saved over the years.
Now I give her so much...
Shen Chuning quickly told her father about this.
After Shen Qingsong heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "You should accept what your uncle gave you. In the future, you and your brothers should think more about your uncle and respect him as you would me. Do you understand?"
"Well, Dad, don't worry, I understand." Shen Chu Ning nodded heavily.
I couldn't help but think of the dream in which my eldest and second brothers' bodies were collected by my uncle.
His in-laws were afraid of getting into trouble and did not allow him to collect the bodies of his two nephews. His uncle even had a falling out with his in-laws, his wife and children, and finally returned here alone.
Just as Shen Chuning was thinking, there was a noisy sound outside. Shen Zhengxu came back with the strong young men in the village, carrying the thirty-six legs that Shen Qingsong had asked Carpenter Tan to make.
Due to time constraints, the wardrobe and chest of drawers have not been completed yet. Only the bookcase, dressing table, desk and four wooden chairs have been completed.
The furniture with big red wedding characters on it was neatly placed in the yard, creating an immediate festive atmosphere.
Near noon, Zhou Yubai also came riding a bicycle with a big red flower tied to it.
Zhou Yubai was also wearing a green military uniform today, with a big red flower pinned on his chest.
He rode his bicycle in and just happened to see Shen Chu Ning wearing a red skirt, two braided pigtails, and a red flower on her temples.
I just felt my eyes brighten, and the phrase "people are more beautiful than flowers" was embodied in this moment.
Even though he was always calm, his heartbeat quickened at this moment, and the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red.
Shen Chu Ning only took a glance at the man's resolute face, and then quickly shyly avoided the man's sight.
Brothers Shen Qingsong, Shen Zhengxu and Shen Zhengliang hurriedly went to their neighbors to borrow tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and chopsticks.
Zhou Yubai hurried over to help.
Although the Shen family's daughter's wedding was a simple one, there were still more than ten tables.
Five pounds of meat were used for the ten or so tables, and one table had half a pound of meat. Five meat dishes were made, including twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts and fermented black beans, pork, vegetables and vermicelli stewed with potatoes, stir-fried meat with cucumber, and a big dish, braised pork with preserved vegetables.
When everyone sat down at the table, they looked at the greasy meat dishes with their eyes wide open and their mouths watering.
"The Shen family really loves their daughter. Who would be willing to hold such a banquet for their daughter's wedding?"
"Other families would consider it a respectable occasion if they had three meat dishes at their daughter's wedding banquet. But their meat dishes are the real deal."
There is enough meat in each bowl of meat dish for everyone at the table to have a piece.
Some people also said sourly: "This is because the Zhou family is willing to give the bride price. If my daughter's in-laws gave 500 yuan as a bride price, I would also be willing to do this for her!"
As soon as that person said this, the others teased him, "Hongping, just forget it. Even if your daughter's in-laws give you a dowry, it's not enough for you to give to your old son."
"The Shen family has already said that the betrothal gift from the Zhou family must be a large amount for their daughter to take back as a treasure."
Chen Hongping, who was speaking, looked a little embarrassed, and puffed out her chest, and shouted in a bluffing manner: "My eldest son is the head of the family, so what if I favor my eldest son?
