Chapter 821:

The eldest aunt whispered: "Isn't this good?"

"I think it's good. Sister-in-law and sister Jingjing are going to be sisters-in-law, and they will live together for a long time in the future. There is any hidden danger of misunderstanding. It needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to conflicts over time. Since the eldest aunt thinks that it is unfair to the sister-in-law in the bride price, and she is worried that Sister Jingjing will overthink it, it is better for us to sit down together and talk about this topic.

The eldest aunt struggled for a while before deciding to do what Xu Wanning said.

The eldest aunt nodded, and Xu Wanning shouted to Chen Ye and Tao Jingjing: "Sister-in-law, sister Jingjing, can you two come over here? I have something to talk to. After your discussion

, Chen Ye and Tao Jingjing looked at each other, washed their hands, and walked over together.

Lin An just finished chatting with his eldest uncle and saw Xu Maoran and Xu Maoying sitting on stools picking vegetables. Xu Wanning and her eldest aunt were sitting together chatting. The children were also playing in the camp, so they simply moved a stool and joined Xu Maoran. The two sat together.

"A Ning, what's the matter?"

Xu Wanning got straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, Sister Jingjing, just now the eldest aunt talked to me about the betrothal gift. What the eldest aunt meant was that Sister Jingjing will be paid according to the highest standards in Beijing today. If others have the bride price, Sister Jingjing should also have it

. "But because it has been several years since the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother got married, the specifications of the bride price have also changed, so the eldest aunt wants to make up for the sister-in-law's share. . But sister-in-law, you don't accept it. Auntie hopes that I can persuade you

. Hearing this, Tao Jingjing waved her hands repeatedly: "Auntie, I have already discussed it with my parents. No betrothal gifts are required.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "I am divorced after all. Yes, how can I ask for any more betrothal gifts? I really want to live with Mao Ying. I am already very grateful that you and my uncle don't mind my past. The bride price is really not needed.

Xu Wanning took Tao Jingjing's hand and said, "Sister Jingjing, how could you What if you belittle yourself? The country supports divorce, which proves that it is normal. Even because you took the initiative to bring up divorce, many people have suffered a lot in their marriage, but they don’t know what to do. The helpless woman in charge provided ideas and goals to solve the problem

: "We can't control what outsiders say. After all, we can't force people to shut up, right? But as family members and friends, we only feel sorry for what happened to you, so why would we care about your past? I am like this, my aunt and uncle are naturally like this, and everyone in the Xu family is like this.

"Yes, Jingjing, this matter is not your fault in the end. You can't always feel that you are inferior. Our third child has been like this for many years." He has always chosen to be single, and no matter who he introduced, he never saw each other, but he only kept thinking about you, which is enough to prove that in his eyes, you are the best if he can marry you, the third child will only laugh secretly, and we will. I will only be sincerely happy and bless you

. "

Tao Jingjing's eyes turned red again.

Her aunt said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law and sister have said so, so don't think too much about it until you get married. , if any blind person dares to say anything wrong about you, see if I don’t tear her mouth apart! "

Pfft -" Tao Jingjing couldn't help laughing.

The eldest aunt breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Don't be stubborn with me about the bride price. How can our Xu family be worse than others in marrying a daughter-in-law?" Woolen cloth? What Aning said is right. My daughter-in-law has to have what others have.

After finishing speaking, the eldest aunt poked Chen Ye: "Your younger siblings have it, and you also have to have it

." Chen Ye said with a helpless smile: "Mom, you really don't need it." . The popular three-turn-one-ring sound. You bought me a bicycle the year before last. I also have a watch, a quartz electronic one, and a radio. An Ning also gave me a sewing machine. I don’t know how to make clothes or sew and mend. I really can't do the supplementary work. Even if you buy it for me, I won't be able to use it.

"Yes, yes, I have a bicycle and a watch. I have a radio at home, but I can't use it. I also don't have a sewing machine... I don't even have a sewing machine." If you don't know how to make clothes, why not?" Tao Jingjing also said hurriedly.

Chen Ye nodded in agreement.

"Whether it's necessary or not is another matter, we must at least have it. You both have bicycles, so don't buy them. I'll give you a discount for the money. You have to buy new watches. The radio..." "

I also have a new radio over there. It’s unopened. I’ll kindly sponsor two of them.

“Okay, Aning has come out with the radio. When the time comes to move to a new house, you two will each take one to your new house. Your dad and I will use this one at home, as well as a sewing machine. , let’s...”

“I don’t want a sewing machine! "

Chen Ye and Tao Jingjing said in unison.

"Mom, we don't know how to make clothes. We spent a lot of money to buy a sewing machine. It has no other use except eating dust at home. Instead, it takes up space.

Seeing that the two of them are so determined, the eldest aunt finally decided. I gave up the idea of ​​buying a sewing machine.

"I originally planned to give a bride price of 500 yuan, and I have all the three rings and one ring ready. Now I only need to buy a watch after the three rings and the others are not needed, so I just discount it and give 1,000 yuan. As a gift of money, I also bought three new clothes and three pairs of new shoes.

After the aunt said to Tao Jingjing, she looked at Chen Ye: "When you and Ran Ran got married, I only bought you one set of clothes and one pair of new shoes." The shoes and betrothal gift are only two hundred yuan, and the other bits and pieces combined are not even worth ten yuan.

"I won't buy you the watch. I will give you an additional eight hundred yuan and give it to you." Make two new clothes and buy two pairs of shoes. You can tell me if there is anything missing.

Chen Ye wants to say that she is already very satisfied,

even with the two hundred yuan gift and five hundred dollars . A hundred yuan is not comparable, but after all, it was a few years ago.

When they got married, the bride price was usually only twenty-fifty. If someone could give a hundred yuan, it would be enough to cause a big sensation

. The original betrothal gift was a full two hundred yuan!

Two hundred yuan, what the heck, the combined salaries of the eldest uncle, eldest aunt, and Xu Maoran, in addition to the monthly fixed expenses and mailing to Xu Wanning who was far away in the countryside, The money she got was only about thirty yuan,

which was equivalent to almost a year's savings.

The Chen family was not short of money either. Her parents didn't keep any of the two hundred yuan, and they also gave her a dowry of one hundred yuan.

But the Xu family cares about her, and this friendship is worth a thousand dollars.

What's more, in the past few years since she was married, she has only one daughter-in-law in the Xu family. Apart from her mother-in-law, her second aunt and third aunt treat her very well, every year. I buy her new clothes and often give her gifts.

What else is she dissatisfied with?
