Xia Tian pulled Xia Yue into the bridal chamber and saw the bride sitting on the edge of the kang. When she saw the two of them coming in, she quickly stood up and looked at them a little awkwardly.
Xia Tian quickly pulled Xia Yue and introduced her to the bride, "Sister-in-law, we are Xia Yang's sisters. My name is Xia Tian, and this is my sister Xia Yue."
The bride smiled and called out, "Sister."
The bride has a round face, big eyes, and her eyebrows are curved when she smiles, which is very beautiful.
Her name is Sun Maimiao. She is from Xiahewan, three villages away from Xiajiazhuang, and further into the mountains.
At that time, Xia Yang had not yet proposed marriage. If it were not for the fact that the third child of his uncle's family was about to turn sixteen and was also about to propose marriage, it is estimated that Old Lady Xia would not have remembered it.
When Xia Yang was about to get married, he was already eighteen years old. Since Mrs. Xia didn't want to pay too much for the bride price, she went to a village in the mountains to propose marriage.
My sister-in-law has many daughters, and they don’t have enough food to eat.
Xiajiazhuang is relatively wealthy compared to Xiahewan Village, so when they heard someone was proposing marriage, they immediately agreed.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law's parents are good people. You can tell from the new clothes she is wearing that they don't treat their daughter harshly.
Xiatian put down the backpack. She had been carrying it for half a day. There were too many people, and she was afraid that the things would be lost if she put it in the house.
Xia Tian took out the wine-red cloth from her backpack and handed it to Sun Maimiao. "Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you and my brother's wedding. Please keep it."
Generally, the gifts brought home by a married daughter are recorded in the public account, which makes it convenient to return the gifts.
Xia Tian didn't care. Even if it was recorded in the public account, Old Lady Xia would definitely pocket it privately. It would be hard to say who would benefit from it then.
So Xia gave it directly to her sister-in-law.
Sun Maimiao was also a smart person. He didn't ask anything. He just said thank you to his sister and took it.
Xia Tian raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her sister-in-law had heard about her family's affairs. With her personality, she should not suffer any loss.
Maybe there is hope for good days for their second wife.
The three of them chatted and laughed in the new house for a while, and Xia Shi and Xia Chen also ran in to see their new sister-in-law.
Xiatian took out the cakes and potato pancakes he had prepared in the backpack and shared them among the people.
The hair flowers bought for Xia Yue, Xia Chen and her sister-in-law were distributed to the three of them. The three girls were instantly overjoyed and kept thanking Xia Tian.
They have never worn a purchased hair ornament in their lives, and they only use scraps of cloth to tie their hair.
Xia Tian gave Xia Shi the toys she brought for him and let him play outside for a while. The four girls gathered together and whispered.
Seeing Xia Tian brought so many things, Xia Yue asked her worriedly, "Si Ya, these things must cost a lot of money. Will my brother-in-law say anything?"
"It's okay, sister. Shen Nian is a very good person."
"Then you should be more careful in the future. Don't spend money recklessly. Save the money for yourself and don't worry about us."
"I understand, sister. I came back because my eldest brother got married. I won't come back unless there is something else going on."
Xia Yue was still worried, so she pulled Xia Tian aside and gave her some instructions for a while, and only let her go after Xia Tian repeatedly assured her.
Mai Miao felt relieved when she saw her sisters talking. At least Xia Yang's sisters were all good people and didn't seem like troublemakers.
As for the people in other rooms, it doesn’t matter. If you can get along well with them, then get along well with them. If not, forget it.
Hearing that Xia Tian would go back after dinner, Sun Maimiao took out the gift he had prepared for the Xia family and handed it to Xia Yue and the others embarrassedly.
"I made this myself, and I'm giving it to you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Several people took the insoles and thanked her happily.
Xia Tian looked at the insoles with fine stitching and felt a higher regard for his sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, she also prepared a gift for her married sister-in-law.
It seems that as long as Xia Yang can stand on his own feet, their family will have a good life.
They chatted for a while, during which Xia Yang came in once, saw that the sisters were all there, and then went out to greet people.
After a while, someone outside called for the table to be served.
Xia Tian pulled Xia Yue, Xia Chen and others out to find a place to sit and wait for the food to be served.
Xia Yue originally wanted to help, but was pulled away by Xia Tian. There were many neighbors helping today, so there was basically no need for family members to serve the dishes.
The dishes hadn't arrived yet, but unexpectedly, Old Lady Xia, who hadn't been seen for a long time, started to find fault.
"Si Ya, you silly girl, your brother is getting married and you come empty-handed, and you still have the nerve to sit at the table."
Xia Tian was not angry at all. He smiled and replied to her, "Why should I be ashamed to sit at the table? I have already given such a big gift."
"How shameless! Where's the gift you gave me? Your Third Uncle didn't even see you."
Uncle Xia Tian had been staring at the place at the door where gifts were registered. He saw her enter the door, but didn't see her until he told Old Lady Xia.
"I sold myself and gave thirty taels as a gift. How can you say that I didn't give any gift?" Xia Tian replied calmly.
"You unlucky star, you, you..." Old Lady Xia was so angry at Xia Tian that her hands were shaking and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Xia Zhengnian, the fourth uncle of the Xia family, stood up and scolded Xia Tian, "Si Ya, how dare you talk to your grandma like that? Is that something a junior like you should say?"
"I'm sorry, grandma. You know I have a bad temper. As the elder, please don't bother with me, a junior." Xia Tian apologized half-heartedly.
The dishes have already started to be served. With so many people watching, Xia Tian couldn't continue to argue, for fear of making Old Lady Xia angry and then accusing her of being unfilial.
Besides, my sister-in-law’s family is still around, so don’t let them look down on Xia Yang.
Seeing that Xia Tian stopped talking, the Xia family sat down reluctantly and stopped making a fuss.
