Chapter 145 Sister's Wedding 3
145 New Sister Gets Married 2
"That's right, Yike, your mother-in-law will be unhappy if you eat like this. You just need to live a good life and don't let us affect you." The uncle also said earnestly.
"Who dares to be unhappy? Humph, it's just two eggs, how dare she be unhappy? Sister, just tell your sister that she will take you home. You don't need such a stingy mother-in-law." The irritable Liu Baoer put down the bowl and said loudly.
"Keep your voice down, what are you doing? You're so irritable. Your mother-in-law isn't here, why are you yelling?" Zhong Tongxin reached out and patted Liu Baoer, saying, "What your uncle said is correct. As the mother's family, we can't be too biased or it will have an impact. You two sisters should pay attention to this aspect in the future. No one taught you these things before, so if you don't understand something in the future, just ask us."
"Okay, I understand." Yi Ke listened obediently.
After eating the noodles, Ziyi asked Liu Bing to take his uncle and cousin for a walk, while he went to arrange dinner in the evening and the ingredients for tomorrow morning's meal. Yike also took a few female guests to help prepare tomorrow's dowry.
In this era, if a woman gets married without a dowry, she will be looked down upon by the man’s family, relatives and friends. The amount of the dowry represents the woman's future status in her husband's family. Generally, the mother-in-law will be more harsh on the daughter-in-law with less dowry than on the daughter-in-law with more dowry. Of course, a sensible mother-in-law would not be like this, but unfortunately there are fewer sensible mothers-in-law in this era. Han Guihua's dowry was placed in a separate room, and Han Guihua also put the gifts she had just received: a piece of floral cloth and a set of clothes, together with the dowry.
Yike took everyone to see the man’s betrothal gift: a bicycle, a ladies’ watch, three sets of clothes: one set for spring, one set for summer, a cotton-padded jacket for winter, and a pair of red leather shoes.
"The man is really rich, and it seems he is very satisfied with Guihua." The aunt-in-law sighed.
"Sister Guihua, I didn't expect your man to be so generous." Liu Baoer touched the bicycle happily and said happily.
Han Guihua blushed and nodded softly.
"My brother-in-law is very generous. He gave all his fortune to my sister, but my sister didn't want it. Otherwise, I would be a wealthy woman now." Yi Ke joked.
Liu Baoer grabbed Yi Ke's shoulder and said, "How much is it? Tell me, let's see how much our future brother-in-law is worth. Is he worthy of our sister Guihua?"
Han Guihua lowered her head, she felt that she was not worthy of Ma Youcai.
"Baoer, don't talk nonsense. How can you ask about someone else's family background?" Zhong Tongxin scolded.
Liu Baoer said with a smile: "I'm just curious. It's okay if you don't tell me. I was wrong. Don't be angry, Osmanthus sister. A bride can't be angry. She has to look beautiful to look good."
"No, no, Sister Baoer was just joking. How could I be angry with you? You are doing this for my own good." Han Guihua said to Liu Baoer.
Yike smiled and took Liu Baoer's hand off her shoulder, saying, "Sister Baoer, my sister is too embarrassed to tell you, but I can tell you. Here, this number." Yike stretched out five fingers, drew two circles, and continued, "I don't know if it's all, but my brother-in-law said these are for my sister, and told her to buy whatever she wants."
"Wow, so much! Five hundred yuan, this is what many families cannot earn in several years. Your brother-in-law is really capable. You are so lucky, sister Guihua." Liu Baoer said in surprise. She really didn't expect it to be so much. She thought it was only a hundred yuan at most.
The aunt-in-law and Zhong Tongxin also looked at Han Guihua in surprise. They didn't expect that Han Guihua had such good fortune. With so much money, life will be easier in the future.
Han Guihua also looked at Yi Ke in surprise. Ma Youcai had clearly given her fifteen hundred, but her sister said much less. After thinking about it for a while, she understood what her sister meant: Don't show off your wealth.
Yi Ke pretended to be proud and said, "My brother-in-law is rich, and my sister is not poor either. Look, those are my sister's dowry."
On the other side of the betrothal gift was a dowry that could be prepared for Han Guihua. Yike had separated the middle of the room with a curtain, so no one noticed it when they came in. Now Yike pulled open the curtain, revealing the dowry, and everyone fell silent.
There were two wooden boxes, two square cabinets, a high-legged wardrobe, a dressing table, a square table (the table legs were removed and tied to the table top), two bedspreads (one pure red, the other with red flowers), two cotton quilts with big red "囍" characters printed on them, two red pillows, two pink towels, two enamel cups with "囍" characters printed on them, two red plastic thermoses with "囍" characters printed on them, two red washbasins, two pairs of red socks, four sets of clothes, two sets of dishes and chopsticks, and a small red box containing a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold necklace.
Han Guihua didn’t know that her sister had prepared a dowry for her before. She only thought that the things in the room were Ma Youcai’s betrothal gifts. Now seeing that her sister had prepared so many things for her, she couldn’t help but call out, “Sister, this…” Han Guihua’s voice got stuck in her throat and she was completely stunned.
"Yike, you are so nice to your sister!" said Zhong Tongxin.
The eldest aunt was as dumbfounded as Han Guihua. Liu Baoer circled around the dowry and said, "Sister Yike, there are so many dowries. My mother is right. You are so good to your sister! I am jealous."
Han Guihua burst into tears without knowing when. Her silly aunt suddenly came to her senses and quickly took a towel to wipe away Han Guihua's tears. She kept saying, "Don't cry, don't cry. This is a happy event. You should be happy and not cry. Guihua, you have loved your sister for so many years, and it's really not in vain. Look at how good your sister is to you. If you carry this dowry out, you will be very proud."
"Yes, Guihua, don't cry. Your sister is so good to you, you can't let her down." Zhong Tongxin also quickly advised.
"I, I won't cry, I'm just too excited and too moved. Sister, you have done so much for me, please leave some of these dowries to you. Your family has nothing prepared for you when you get married, and I can't take it all. I..." Han Guihua's voice choked with sobs.
I knew my sister would be excited when she saw it, but I didn't expect her to cry. She held her sister's hand and said, "Sister, you have always taken care of me, now it's your turn to take care of you. Your brother-in-law and I went to buy all these together. That set of headdresses was given to me by your brother-in-law. There are two sets in total, one for me and one for you. Don't you want to have the same things as me?"
