Shi Liu originally thought she knew her mother quite well, but it turned out that her understanding was too superficial. Her mother always gave her "surprises" unexpectedly.
Putting aside the feelings of matchmaker Yang, even the three sisters-in-law in the family felt that it would not be easy for their future brother-in-law and sister-in-law. After all, the mother-in-law did not make any requirements when they got married. If she had, they would hardly be willing to marry.
In fact, Su Sanlan didn't really intend to let Sun Xiuxiu bring food into the house. After all, there was no such precedent with the previous three. She naturally wouldn't suddenly make such an offer. She said this just to make Yang the matchmaker give up. There was no room for negotiation on the betrothal gift.
Matchmaker Yang had to use all her words to get Su Sanlan to give up that ridiculous idea. She secretly wiped a cold sweat. She now hoped that her old friend would offer a higher betrothal gift, as long as he didn't bring up that ridiculous proposal again. Otherwise, she was really worried that she would be kicked out by the Sun family.
"Since you agree, I'll go tell the Sun family. If there's no problem, I'll take you with me to deliver the betrothal gifts next time and finalize the marriage."
Su Sanlan waved her hand to signal matchmaker Yang to hurry up, as she was still waiting for her daughter-in-law to start working in the spring.
Matchmaker Yang left without a care in the world.
Mrs. Shi said in surprise, "Matchmaker Yang actually forgot to ask for a thank-you gift this time! I remember my second and third sister-in-law both asked for two taels of brown sugar."
Shi Ersao was also quite surprised. Although Yang the matchmaker was a good person, she always wanted a thank-you gift every time she came to visit. This was her rule.
Su Sanlan raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean you didn't take the thank-you gift? Who drank the brown sugar water just now?"
Shi Liu suddenly realized that her mother's strange request might be to kill two birds with one stone. She just didn't know whether Yang the matchmaker would realize that she had been cheated.
In fact, Shi Liu still underestimated Yang the Matchmaker's understanding of Su Sanlan. Yang the Matchmaker stopped just after walking two hundred meters, realizing that she had been fooled by her old friend. However, she did not intend to turn around and ask for a thank-you gift. After all, the relationship between the two was pretty good, and Shi Qiu was considered to have grown up under her care, so if she didn't want the thank-you gift, then so be it.
After consolidating herself, Matchmaker Yang walked briskly towards Hewan Village. She planned to make things clear today.
When Old Lady Sun heard the betrothal gifts were so shabby, she was immediately unhappy. You know, the betrothal gifts given by the previous man, although not very good, were quite large. In fact, because the other party broke off the engagement, all the betrothal gifts were kept as an apology. Except for some food and daily necessities at home, they planned to give all of them to Sun Xiuxiu.
"No, my daughter brought so much dowry, but their family only gave such a small betrothal gift. It's too shabby." After all, Old Lady Sun didn't say anything too unpleasant. Just as Su Sanlan guessed, the other party was not the kind of person who would throw a tantrum.
Matchmaker Yang naturally knew that the betrothal gift was small, but she couldn't say that now: "Sister-in-law Sun, you only think that the betrothal gift is small, but you don't know the situation of the old Shi family. The old Shi family has four sons in total, and the betrothal gifts for the first three sons were the same. Sister-in-law Su is worried that giving your daughter Xiuxiu a different betrothal gift will affect the harmony of the family."
"Besides, if your Xiuxiu really brings in a high bride price, the first three sisters-in-law will definitely have objections. The old Shi family will not be able to split up for a while. This will cause a rift with the sisters-in-law, which will not benefit our Xiuxiu."
When Old Lady Sun heard this, she realized it was true. If she were those three sisters-in-law, she would really be angry, but she was still unwilling to accept it.
Mrs. Sun looked at her mother-in-law speechlessly. She had known from the beginning that the other party was not a wealthy family, so it was unrealistic to ask for a high betrothal gift at this time.
Although Sun Ersao felt that the Shi family was not kind, and perhaps they said so because they did not want to ask for more betrothal gifts, she had her own personal experience. At the beginning, she asked for an extra set of clothes when she got married, and her eldest sister-in-law still disliked her. If her younger sister-in-law had not been married yet, she felt that her eldest sister-in-law wanted to split up their family.
Finally, Sun Xiuxiu nodded in agreement: "Mom, forget it. The Shi family's conditions are there. Even if we ask for it, they may not be able to come up with anything good."
Sun Xiuxiu knew that her mother was not actually greedy for things, but was just competing with her cousin.
Years ago, my cousin finally married Wang Jianshe. I don’t know what Wang Jianshe was thinking, but the betrothal gift he gave was more generous than she had given him before. Maybe it was because he got one free if he married one?
Her mother had been unhappy ever since she learned of this, and she was determined to outdo the other party. However, the Shi family had insisted on that condition, and if they really insisted on it, the marriage would be over. Besides, Aunt Su was right. Take her eldest and second sisters-in-law, for example. They had been fighting over the betrothal gift for years, and the family was in turmoil. She didn't want the same thing to happen in the future.
Matchmaker Yang looked at Sun Xiuxiu with increasingly gentle eyes. "That's right. If you take a step back, your three sisters-in-law will definitely take care of you in the future. I've seen a lot over the years. That guy in your village who refused to get out of the sedan chair for 2 yuan didn't live a very good life in the future."
To be precise, life was very difficult. After all, I offended my husband's family before I even got married. It would be strange if I could have a good life.
Old Lady Sun also remembered this incident and was too frightened to say anything more, fearing that it would harm her daughter. "Then the betrothal gift will be as agreed by the in-laws."
Matchmaker Yang was immediately satisfied: "Our children are already grown up, so I think we should arrange this marriage as soon as possible. As for the date for the betrothal gifts, how about tomorrow?"
"No problem." Old Lady Sun looked at her daughter reluctantly, "I still need your help in choosing an auspicious wedding date."
"Don't worry about that. I've chosen many good days..."
Matchmaker Yang was also a very impetuous person. She had just made the deal with the Sun family when she came back to the Shi family. Su Sanlan thought that this guy was here to ask for a thank-you gift, and her face looked unhappy.
Matchmaker Yang had known Su Sanlan for many years and knew her true nature, so she didn't bother to pay any attention to her. "Okay, the marriage is settled. The Sun family wants you to deliver the betrothal gifts tomorrow. I'll come over early tomorrow morning and leave with you."
Su Sanlan didn't expect it to be so urgent: "I thought it would take two days. The clothes haven't been made yet. Can I just give you the cloth directly?"
"Okay, why not? Just let the Sun family do it themselves."
In fact, Su Sanlan just said that. Of course, there are no ready-made clothes, so it’s not her fault.
When the three older brothers of Shi Da Ge heard that the marriage was going to happen, they all congratulated Shi Si Ge and teased him with a joking look on their faces.
Shi Liu looked at Shi Si Ge and still felt it was unbelievable, but the two sides met once and the marriage was finalized. Moreover, according to her mother, they would be married soon. This was really "efficient" -
