Aunt Liu San was glad that she was not so short-sighted, and was also glad that her sister-in-law acted as her vanguard. Now, compared with a piece of coarse cloth, she had much more to show for it. If it weren't for her, she would be the first to be embarrassed, after all, the gift from the front was too good.
"Chun Miao, Third Aunt wishes you a happy and harmonious life in the future, and a loving marriage."
"Thank you, Auntie San."
Others gave things they made themselves, including small things like handkerchiefs and pillowcases, and larger things like washbasins and wooden barrels. The things given by Zheng's sisters-in-law were slightly better, one of them gave a bed quilt cover that they sewed themselves.
The dowry gift ended just like that, and Chunmiao's house was filled with a bunch of messy things that she might never be able to own in her lifetime.
"Come on, let's go out and eat, let's go out and eat."
After adding makeup, it was time to have a banquet. Those who came to add makeup were all women. No one drank alcohol. Datou was going to be married tomorrow. After everyone had eaten, they left. Chunmiao lay back after everyone left. She was so tired that her legs were numb and her waist was sore from sitting.
"Mom, are you going to sit like this tomorrow?"
"Yes, of course. You don't need to sit so long. You can get on the sedan chair and go home after the bride's reception arrives. But you still need to sit like this when you get to your husband's house. Just bear with it. It's only a day."
Old Mrs. Zheng was reluctant to let her silly daughter go, and she didn’t know how she would live in the future.
"Chun Miao, if you are unhappy about anything in the future, go home and tell your mother, okay? Don't hold it in. Our Liu family's daughters don't stand being bullied."
"I know. Xiaoyu also said that we don't like being bullied. At worst, we can just break up and find another man to live with."
Old Mrs. Zheng almost vomited blood, "No, my daughter, you still have to live a good life. Let's not change people if we can. By the way, you can only read the booklet I gave you tomorrow when no one is around." After thinking about it, she was still worried, "Read it with your head of the household." Even if her daughter can't understand it, her son-in-law can always understand it, right?
"I know, mother."
It was a tattered booklet that her mother had stuffed at the bottom of her dowry, and it was quite difficult to get it out.
"Save your dowry well and don't spend it recklessly. These are your confidence, don't you understand?" Old Zheng was so worried about her daughter that she repeated everything she had instructed.
"Mom, I won't use my own money to support my husband's family. Xiaoyu said that my husband's family doesn't lack money. What they lack is their money, my husband's money. When I get married, I will spend a man's money. What kind of man is he if he can't even support his wife? It's better not to marry."
"What did Xiaoyu say when she came yesterday? Why do you remember her words so clearly? Do you remember what I told you?"
"Xiao Yu said not to indulge men and not to belittle yourself..."
When Old Zheng left, she was a little suspicious. Has her daughter come to her senses? Why did she suddenly have such a good memory? What Xiaoyu said seemed to make sense, and she couldn't refute it. But if her daughter did what she said, would it be too strong? She was a little confused...
Zhao Xiaoyu has been very busy at home recently. This is the time when their family catches river gourd babies and throws them into the mud. Afterwards, they will keep some more and let them reproduce freely.
"Dad, are there many cubs near the river?"
"It's not easy to find. I wonder if it's because the time is not right or what?"
"These people are looking for them in the nearby places. Let's drive the mule cart farther away to catch them tomorrow."
