"Sister-in-law, tell me, what was it like when you got married to your cousin?" Meng Ziyi was curious about how weddings were held in rural areas.
"In rural areas, people hold banquets in their own yards. At that time, we..." Feng Jiaojiao told Meng Ziyi about her wedding.
The two had a happy chat.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You look so happy." Li Xiuzhi and Li Pandyi walked in.
"Mom, sister." Meng Ziyi called her a little stiffly.
"We'll be out in a while, let's see how you've prepared. Stand up and let me see. This outfit looks really smart." Li Pandi looked at the clothes on Meng Ziyi and it was obvious that they were not cheap.
I don't know whether it was my son who bought it or the Meng family who bought it.
The same goes for her son. Now he doesn't tell her anything. The same goes for this damn old man. She doesn't even know how much money he gave to her son for his marriage.
The money in Li Pandi's hands was all given to her by Mr. Li for household expenses. As for her money from her parents' family, he always turned a blind eye. Li Pandi had never come into contact with the real big money in the family.
Mr. Li is not stupid. Li Pandi is not a reliable person. How could he possibly give all his fortune to her to manage?
"Well, my sister-in-law accompanied me to choose this dress." Meng Ziyi also liked this dress.
"Sister-in-law, this dress is so beautiful. It must be very expensive, right?" Li Xiuzhi was very envious. She didn't know if she could wear such a beautiful dress.
"Well...it's okay." Meng Ziyi didn't say how much the clothes cost, but it was indeed very valuable.
"What's the big deal? If you really like it, you can ask your sister-in-law to lend you the clothes when you get married. It's a waste to wear such nice clothes only once." In rural areas, borrowing clothes for weddings is a common thing.
They are all used to save face and are only worn for one day.
Therefore, many people are reluctant to buy new clothes or have no money, so they ask married people in the village to borrow clothes.
"Sister-in-law, is it okay?" Li Xiuzhi looked at Meng Ziyi expectantly.
Feng Jiaojiao told herself that tomorrow was Ziyi's wedding day and she couldn't have any more conflicts with the Li family, otherwise it would be difficult for Ziyi.
Meng Ziyi's face was not in a good state either. One of these two people was her new mother-in-law, and the other was Li Hongyu's cousin, her sister-in-law. Although they were not from the same mother, she was her mother-in-law Li Pandi's favorite niece.
In the past, she would definitely not agree, but she considered Hongyu's feelings and didn't want anything unpleasant to happen on the first day of their marriage. Although she was reluctant, she still nodded.
"Of course you can, but maybe when you get married, your in-laws will prepare better clothes for you, and you won't like this one anymore." Meng Ziyi's tone was quite euphemistic.
"How could that be, sister-in-law? This dress is so beautiful. I have never seen such good material. Can I... can I try it now?" Li Xiuzhi couldn't help but touch the clothes.
"Oh, forget it. I'll wait until my sister-in-law is done before trying again." Li Xiuzhi looked at Li Pandyi cautiously.
Li Pandi couldn't bear to see her niece looking so pitiful. It was just a piece of clothing.
"What's the big deal, Ziyi? Let your sister give it a try. We are all family, there's no need to talk too much." Li Pandi said to her daughter-in-law bluntly.
"Mom, this is not appropriate." Meng Ziyi touched her belly and endured it again.
"Your sister has never seen anything good. She finally comes here once, so let your sister try it. This clothes will not be damaged." Li Pandi handed the cloth bag to Li Xiuzhi and came over to help Meng Ziyi take off her coat.
Meng Ziyi doesn't want this dress anymore. Not only has it been touched by so many people, but now she has to be tried on by someone else.
Although this is a hand-purchased dress, it must have been tried on by many people, but today is my wedding day after all.
Forget it. After I get married, I will move out with Brother Hongyu and we won’t live together often.
She didn't want to argue with her mother-in-law right now.
Li Xiuzhi took her coat and quickly stuffed the cloth bag in her hand into Feng Jiaojiao.
"You..." A bag was suddenly stuffed into Feng Jiaojiao's hand.
"Please help me hold it so I can try on the clothes." Li Xiuzhi put on Meng Ziyi's clothes and showed them in front of Li Pandyi.
"Auntie, do I look good in this dress?"
"Yeah, it looks good!" Li Pandi seemed to see herself when she was younger through Li Xiuzhi.
Her niece, Xiao Gu, even has some of her temperament when she was young, so Li Pandi likes this niece very much.
Feng Jiaojiao put the cloth bag in her hand on the table.
[Hmph, you'll be in trouble soon!] Feng Jiaojiao hadn't heard such a voice in a long time.
Feng Jiaojiao looked at Li Xiuzhi trying on clothes, it seemed like she had a trick up her sleeve.
"Okay, go return the clothes to your sister-in-law quickly." Li Pandi saw that her niece had had enough, so she quickly asked her to return the clothes.
Meng Ziyi had no choice but to put on her clothes, as it was too late to change.
Seeing that her niece's hands were empty, she remembered that the wallet was not in her or her niece's hands.
"Where's the bag?"
"Are you looking for this bag?" Feng Jiaojiao pointed at the cloth bag on the table.
Li Pandi quickly went over and picked up the cloth bag, "How can you put things like that, kid?"
"This bag was stuffed into my hand by your niece, but I didn't take it. Check it quickly. Otherwise, if something is missing, it will be difficult to explain." Feng Jiaojiao looked at Li Xiuzhi meaningfully.
Li Xiuzhi clutched the corner of her clothes tightly.
"My bag is full of money for marriage, and some gifts from elders. They are very precious!" To be honest, it was the first time for Li Pandi to hold so much money.
Usually, Mr. Li only gave her household expenses and some pocket money occasionally, which basically would not exceed two thousand each time. During these years, she had saved a lot of money, which would not exceed five thousand each time.
"Mom, who can take it? Besides, you have been holding this bag all along!" Meng Ziyi felt that this marriage was not happy at all.
"That... may not be the case!" Li Xiuzhi looked at Feng Jiaojiao.
"Hey, if you don't explain yourself clearly, no one can leave this door. We must investigate and call the person over so that we can investigate face to face!" Feng Jiaojiao was not afraid of them.
"Mom, what happened?" Li Hongyu and some relatives walked in.
