"You guys chat first, I'll go prepare some food." Cheng Ya said.

Aunt Chen went home for something, so I had to prepare dinner by myself.

"I'll help you." Su He said, "Xiaojiu, stay here and chat with Auntie."

Su Xiaoluo could only sit there and listen to Aunt Cheng's words: "Xiaojiu, as a girl, you can't always think about how much dowry you get at home. It's because of your dowry that life has become difficult at home. People outside will say bad things about you, and your position at home will be in jeopardy."

"What do you mean? Why don't I understand?" Su Xiaoluo asked puzzledly.

"Think about it! If your parents' family is rich, others will say that your family has an easier life, and your husband, your parents-in-law will all look up to you. If your parents' family is poor, others will think that you come from a poor family and look down on you." Aunt Cheng said what she said.

"If the man paid so much gift and betrothal gift, but got nothing in return, wouldn't you have any objections?" Su Xiaoluo asked.

"You are stupid! If you have any opinions, you dare not raise them. This is like scolding your wife away. Aren't all these things wasted?" Aunt Cheng said with a smile.

"Well, that means these gifts and betrothal gifts are equivalent to hostages. They are not good to your daughter, so you won't return them. Is that what you mean?" Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but laugh. Where did this twisted logic come from?

She actually said it so confidently?

"Yes! That's the truth. You must be cautious, do you understand? Your aunt has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, so she won't harm you." Aunt Cheng looked much happier when she saw that she understood.

"Then if the man borrowed these things, wouldn't it mean that after marriage, you, my daughter, will have to live a hard life together with me while I pay off the debt?" Su Xiaoluo asked.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, your cousin's life is not that hard! She is a cadre, how could she borrow money to buy these things?" Aunt Cheng was unhappy.

"Yes, Guolong's family is quite rich." Song Lili helped out.

"Isn't this just a hypothetical situation? What if it were a hypothetical situation?" Su Xiaoluo said sarcastically.

"If it was borrowed, then this family is a fraud and should get divorced," said Aunt Cheng.

"You mean you won't return the betrothal gift even if we get divorced?" Su Xiaoluo roughly understood.

In the end, he is just greedy for the gift and disregards the happiness of his daughter!

"That's right. This is a marriage fraud. Of course it can't be returned." Aunt Cheng glared at Su Xiaoluo and advised, "Don't be so sincere. You should run away from this kind of family."

"Aunt, why don't you go and find out about the situation of your cousin's husband's family. Divorce doesn't sound good." Su Xiaoluo advised kindly.

"Hey, little girl, why do you always say such sad things? Do you think your cousin is not pretty? It's hard to find someone as good as her." Aunt Cheng said unhappily.

"I'm also thinking about my cousin's future." Su Xiaoluo frowned. If it were someone else, she would be too lazy to say this!

"Forget it, Mom, why don't you go ask her?" Song Lili also became a little worried.

"Don't believe everything you hear. Some people are just jealous and can't stand seeing their children marrying well." Aunt Cheng snorted, thinking that Su Xiaoluo was jealous. She took Song Lili's hand and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Once you get married, just live your good life!"

Song Lili was somewhat influenced by her father and didn't like to work. Aunt Cheng loved her daughter and never let her do those kinds of work since she was a child. She raised her to be pure and innocent in order to find a good marriage for her.

For a girl, marriage is her second reincarnation, and finding a good partner is better than anything else.

These two pieces of gift money, three turns and one ring, are more than enough for a village farmer to work on the farm for a lifetime, even if his back is bent, he may not be able to save it.

So she must be right to listen to her mother! Her mother will definitely not harm her. Didn't she find a good marriage?

"Mom, I understand." Song Lili responded.

Su Xiaoluo looked at them and said that it was enough to say anything more. Su Xiaoluo remembered the last words of Lady Xuan Nu and did not want to interfere too much.

Some experiences are blessings rather than disasters, but disasters cannot be avoided.

It is also a long one.

Su Xiaoluo stood up and said, "What do you want to drink? I'll go buy you something to drink."

Aunt Cheng's face looked better. She said, "I heard there's a kind of soda that tastes good, but I've never tried it."

"Okay, I'll go buy it." Su Xiaoluo didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he got up and went out.

On the way back, I happened to meet Wang Qian, so I told her about this.

"Sister-in-law, you said I was giving them good advice, why don't they appreciate it?" Su Xiaoluo was confused.

"That's because they don't know your abilities. You don't know Aunt Cheng's temper. I heard from your eldest brother that when life was difficult at home, her nose wasn't a nose and her eyes weren't eyes. Now that life is better at home, she seldom comes over. This time, I guess she came to show off to our house because of your cousin's wedding." Wang Qian's guess was almost right.

Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Yes, he is quite powerful."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "She won't listen to you just picking out the bad stuff. Add in the betrothal money and the three transfers and one ring, and she won't ruin this marriage no matter what she says."

"Then isn't she worried that her cousin will suffer after getting married?" Su Xiaoluo asked.

"It's not that your cousin's family has a hard time after she got married!" Wang Qian sighed, "This situation is not uncommon, especially in rural areas. Girls are not treated fairly from the moment they are born. Some families expect their daughters to marry their sons!"

"I've seen that, too." Su Xiaoluo had been through so much, but he always thought it was someone else's business.

Now that this kind of thing has happened to my relatives, I have somewhat different feelings.

"We may be doing this for others' good, but others will think we are jealous! Some things are better left unsaid!" Wang Qian advised. Su Xiaoluo was simple-minded and said whatever she wanted to say. However, others were suspicious and misinterpreted her meaning.

"I don't care! According to what you said, the relationship between my aunt and my mom is not good, so there's no need to care too much." Su Xiaoluo was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.

"I'll tell you a secret. Our aunt was actually our dad's blind date. But she didn't like her and asked our mom to go on the blind date instead." Wang Qian secretly told this gossip.

Su Xiaoluo suddenly realized: "No wonder, but I guess it was her who went. My dad doesn't believe her."

"Hey, don't say that." Wang Qian said with a smile, "My aunt said at the beginning that she didn't go because she wanted to work at home for two more years and was filial. She also said that my mother got married early and couldn't help at home. My mother was upset for a long time after hearing her words."

"Aren't grandparents still alive?" Su Xiaoluo asked.

"Your grandparents are particularly partial to your aunt and never speak for our mother. Our mother gives us the most money every year, but they never say anything good about her, otherwise they wouldn't have let her get married so early! They gave her a lot of betrothal gifts, more than anyone else."

Su Xiaoluo understood.

This is the situation.
