Chapter 82
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone looked at Liang Rui in disbelief.
"Do you know what you're talking about, kid?"
The person who asked this question was Wang Limei.
Liang Rui took it for granted, "I know, I told you I'll go back home and steal some makeup for her, otherwise she'll be laughed at."
You really know this, and yet you still say such things.
Jiang Meishu said, "Don't steal things for me. If you're laughed at, then so be it." She said seriously, "My family's conditions are not good. Everyone can see it."
"Liang Rui, I don't need you to do this."
Liang Rui was unhappy. "What's wrong with that? My dad told me to go back to the courtyard to get more things if there aren't enough. I'm just lending it to you. You're going to marry into the Liang family tomorrow, so don't you have to take the things back with you?"
“So, what’s the essential difference?”
"The thing is still the same thing, I just took it out to give you face."
"Jiang Meilan, you want to be laughed at, but I don't."
He said this with a hint of anger.
Jiang Meishu was a little unhappy. "Liang Rui, being laughed at is my business. What does it have to do with you?"
These two people are about to quarrel.
Wang Limei saw that something was amiss and said quickly, "Liang Rui means well. Why are you so upset with him?"
This is talking about Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu was also annoyed. "I already said no, no, I'll give you whatever dowry I'm entitled to. I may not be well off now, but I won't be in a bad situation in the future."
"So, what's the use of them talking about me behind my back? I don't care at all. I don't eat their rice. Why should I change myself just for their perspective and opinion?"
This is the real Jiang Meishu, an only child who grew up in a pampered environment and received education in the new society. She is confident in herself and does not feel inferior even though her conditions are poor.
She has always been living her own life.
Never be influenced by the language of the outside world.
She has her own independent thinking and approach.
It will not change because of external factors.
This kind of thing deep in her character is not obvious on a daily basis, but at the critical moment, she can always play a huge role.
For example, now.
Jiang Meishu didn't care about the small dowry and being looked down upon in their eyes. She only cared about those three or two people.
What she cares about is whether her mother loves her or not.
What she cares about is whether her sister is okay or not, and she keeps her in her heart.
And she never took these outsiders seriously.
Jiang Meishu looks gentle and shy on the outside, but she actually has her own style inside.
She is also strong enough inside.
She is so strong that she doesn't care about the rumors outside.
It started out as.
Now it is.
It will be in the future.
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. "Beautiful," Shu, Wang Limei almost let out a cry, "You really don't want it?"
"Actually, I think Liang Rui's method is quite good."
Their family really couldn't afford more dowry. If Liang Rui could bring some from the Liang family, when the wedding party came tomorrow and went to the Liang family, she would be able to save face.
Jiang Meishu, "No, it's whatever it is."
She raised her eyes, her eyes clear and firm, "Mom, my reputation is not earned by dowry."
Her face depends on herself and Lao Liang.
She was so determined that everyone fell silent.
Liang Rui muttered, "How come you don't know how to appreciate kindness?"
He tried to help out of kindness, but was rejected outright by the other party.
Jiang Meishu walked over to Liang Rui and said, "I know you're nice to me and want to make me look good, but when it comes to Liang Rui, if something is true, it's true, and if it's not, it's not. If you lie about something, you have to come up with countless other things to cover it up. I don't think it's necessary. There's no need to change my own style and principles just for something irrelevant."
"But I still want to thank you." She raised her hand and straightened Liang Rui's shoulders. "Thank you for being so kind."
"When your father comes to pick up the bride tomorrow morning, you should come with him."
This is an invitation.
Liang Rui was like a hedgehog with thorns growing upside down. He used to prick people everywhere, but when Jiang Meishu stroked his fur, his hair was smoothed out instantly, and the thorns on his body were also retracted.
"Well then." He crossed his arms somewhat proudly, "Since you have taken the initiative to invite me so warmly, I will come to pick you up tomorrow."

Liang family.
Liang's mother is also busy. Her son is a workaholic. Everyone is getting married tomorrow, but there is nothing at home today.
The hygiene was not done.
There is no happy character either.
I haven't even contacted the banquet yet, and the guests are coming tomorrow. What else can I expect?
After Liang's mother finished pasting the wedding paper at home, her arms ached from exhaustion. She cursed as she walked away, "What a sin! I gave birth to such an evil creature. You didn't care about anything about your own wedding, but instead asked me to do it all. Who do you think I am?"
Shen Mingying, who was standing next to her, was finding it funny. She was also drafted by her mother-in-law to help with her brother-in-law's wedding.
"Mom, you don't have to do it. Qiu Run didn't force you to do it."
Mother Liang put her hands on her hips and said, "I won't do it, I won't do it. When Xiao Jiang marries in tomorrow, if nothing is done at home, Xiao Jiang will think that we don't value her, are not satisfied with her as a daughter-in-law, and are deliberately trying to intimidate her."
God knows, she definitely didn't.
However, her son was too troublesome. He got married and moved out of the family, but he didn't even bother to put up wedding paper.
Look, speak of Cao Cao and he appears.
Secretary Chen came in with a bag of things, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came in, he would see wedding characters pasted on the windows.
He was stunned for a moment, "Aunt Liang, you all posted it."
"My boss also told me to buy a bunch and come over this afternoon to put all the stickers on the whole house." After saying this, he took out a thick stack of red Double Happiness characters from the bag.
Liang's mother asked, "Liang Qiurun knows he's getting married tomorrow and wants you to help him put up the Double Happiness banner?"
"He's so busy, why doesn't he ask you to go pick up the bride for him tomorrow?"
When Secretary Chen was asked this question, he immediately broke out in a sweat. He couldn't respond to this question.
"Aunt Liang, the boss is feeling really bad too. He's getting married tomorrow, but at the end of the year, the higher-ups came to do a spot check and told him to supply 20% more pork than last year."
"Don't you think this is embarrassing? A grand wedding is causing trouble for others."
"I'm telling you, the people above are going too far. They even said that if the leader doesn't complete the task, he will be fired next year."
Secretary Chen sneered, feeling very sorry for Liang Qiurun. "He was even fired. He's not even fit for the position of director of the meat processing plant."
"Not only are they incredibly busy, but they're also under tremendous pressure. Do they really think the position of meat processing plant director is such a hot commodity?"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Liang's mother was looking at him with sharp eyes. Secretary Chen raised his hand and slapped his mouth, "I didn't say my leader was a dog."
"Aunt Liang, please don't spread rumors."
He has been cheated by Liang's mother more than once.
Liang's mother smiled but said nothing. "Is the interruption over?"
"Otherwise, what do others say? You, Chen Zhen, are my Qiu Run's right-hand man. Look at your mouth. You can even talk the dead into being alive."
Secretary Chen was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his plan was seen through by Liang's mother.
He scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Alright, the wedding characters are all pasted except for the highest spot. Since you're here to help Qiu Run with his wedding, go put the wedding character on the top of the wardrobe."
Secretary Chen uttered a sigh, picked up a bag of things, put it on the table and started working.
Liang's mother was a little curious about what was inside and why it was so bulging.
When she opened it, she saw that it was full of melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, which were needed for tomorrow's banquet.
Liang's mother was amused and said to Shen Mingying, "This Chen Zhen is more like tomorrow's groom than my Qiu Run."
After hearing this, Secretary Chen, who was pasting wedding characters in the house, almost fell down the stairs.
"Aunt Liang, Aunt Liang, you are really my ancestor. Please don't say this again. If my boss hears this, I'm afraid I will lose all my year-end red envelopes."
Liang's mother responded, "Okay, I know everything."
She said to Shen Mingying, "Since someone is busy with this mess at home, you can accompany me to the state-owned restaurant and find Master Zhang. I want Master Zhang to bring his apprentice to cook for our family tomorrow."
The chef of the Capital State-Owned Restaurant is famous throughout the country.
It would be a great honor to invite such a person to your home for a banquet.
Shen Mingying also wanted to see her mother-in-law's network of contacts, so she readily agreed.
Liang's mother is really awesome. She went to a state-owned restaurant and not only invited Master Zhang, but also Master Lu, Master Zhang's retired family member.
With these two chefs here, Liang Qiurun’s wedding banquet tomorrow is basically secured.
However, having a good chef alone is not enough; a good cook cannot cook without rice.
If a chef wants to make delicious meals, he must have good ingredients. Chef Zhang knew that the Liang family was a respectable family, so he made a menu and asked Liang's mother to prepare the ingredients.
Liang's mother could prepare some of the things, but the rest she couldn't prepare was left to Secretary Chen to deal with. As for who Secretary Chen could find if he couldn't solve the problem, she didn't care.
She just needs to make sure her son marries Xiao Jiang tomorrow.
"Mingying, can you help me think about it? Is there anything else I haven't done?"
Shen Mingying helped her check for omissions and fill in the gaps. "We have all the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and candies. We've also put up the wedding signs and arranged the banquet. We've also hired someone to make the table and chairs. They'll bring the tables and chairs themselves. We've also invited the guests and prepared the gift list. Have you prepared the red envelopes?"
Liang's mother said, "It's necessary."
"Then it's basically complete. All that's missing is Qiu Run coming over to marry his wife."
After saying this, Liang's mother rubbed her hands and said, "Then I will wait to become a mother-in-law again."
"But, I suddenly remembered a question."
Shen Mingying said this suddenly.
"What?"
Liang's mother asked.
"Xiao Jiang's family isn't well off. When she gets married tomorrow, she'll definitely need to prepare some dowry in a large gathering. I'm afraid Xiao Jiang will be laughed at by the people here."
The Liang family lives in a courtyard house, and most of the Liang family’s relatives also live in courtyard houses, or at least in tube-shaped buildings.
Everyone has good conditions.
Especially the eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Hongjiao. Her family was wealthy in the early years. Although it has declined now, she has always been proud of it. Even after so many years, she still mentions the grand occasion of her wedding.
Think of this.
Shen Mingying said, "I can't guarantee anything else. If Xiao Jiang comes tomorrow with a small dowry, my sister-in-law will definitely tell everyone in the alley about it. If she's shameless, she might even ridicule her in front of Xiao Jiang."
“She dares!”
When I think about Xiao Jiang marrying in tomorrow, I won’t be able to enjoy a good life, but will be ridiculed by my eldest daughter-in-law in front of so many relatives and friends.
Liang's mother felt uncomfortable, "No, no, Xiao Jiang married into this family to enjoy life, not to suffer."
"Mingying, you're smart. Help me figure out how to solve this problem."
Shen Mingying thought for a moment and said, "It's very difficult to solve it."
"What?"
"It depends on whether you are willing to invest your money, Mom."
Talking to smart people is easy. Liang's mother understood immediately, "You mean to take the things out of my room first, send them to the Jiang family in advance, and have little Jiang bring them over tomorrow?"
Shen Mingying nodded, "Yes, this is the only way."
Liang's mother said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it again."
There were some good things in her room, but many of them could not be seen in public. Whether it was the big yellow croaker or the small yellow croaker, or those sapphire rings, she buried them all in the soil.
It's impossible to take it out.
"I don't need anything expensive, just a cotton quilt will be fine."
I have to say that Shen Mingying, who works outside and interacts with many people, has sharp eyes.
"Xiao Jiang's family is just an ordinary family. Ordinary families have limited cotton supply. She can have one or two quilts for her wedding tomorrow, which is considered good. This is because her parents love her. If not."
She looked more serious. "Mom, girls from poor families are not valued. If she is not loved by her parents, she might be married off without even a quilt."
"This is normal in ordinary families, but in a family like ours, she would be the one with the cheapest dowry among the four of us sisters-in-law."
"That won't work!"
Mother Liang glared at him, "That won't do. I can accept that she's worse than you, but why is she worse than the eldest and third sons' wives?"
Especially her third son's wife, she particularly disliked her. She and the third son were already married for the second time. Not only were they divorced, but they were still sticking together every day. It was not like they were living together, and their divorce was not a divorce.
She is also the most competitive and strong-willed person. Because she was born in the lowest social class, she always feels inferior and thinks that others look down on her.
If Xiao Jiang's dowry tomorrow is even less than hers.
Who knows how the third son's wife will gossip behind his back, and the eldest son's wife is the same, they are both troublemakers.
Liang's mother paced back and forth, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "No, my little Jiang can't be bullied by them."
She thought about it and said, "How many of the quilts I brought as a dowry are still unused? Should I take eight of them to Xiao Jiang?"
"Take out another thousand yuan and bring it to her as a dowry?"
"This way, Xiao Jiang won't be laughed at, right?"
She can't control other people's mouths, but she has money!
She can use her money power!
