The aunt and sister-in-law entered Yu's house one after another.

Li Chunlan glanced at Yu Meijuan, went to the old lady's room, and muttered to herself.

In the past, whenever this sister-in-law came to see me alone, she would never come empty-handed.

No matter what, I have to buy a few apples and pears on the roadside.

Or you can go directly to Huimin Store to buy a bag of Jingguo noodles, orange powder, orange crystal, etc.

Fruit is a rare commodity these days.

Not to mention the orange powder, which is sour and sweet, thirst-quenching and delicious.

Especially the Jingguo noodles, which are made of authentic fine noodles made of large Jingguo, which are crushed into delicate and oily fruit noodles.

Just scoop two or three spoonfuls and pour in boiling water to make half a bowl.

The taste is not only filling but also oily.

Every time I eat it, my face becomes rosy and I feel a surge of warmth in my body, and my depleted body is immediately restored to full health.

It can nourish the body.

For normal people, just having enough food is enough, who would buy these snacks?

But today, Meijuan came back all the way and passed by the fruit stall, Huimin store, and department store without even glancing at them.

As a sister-in-law, she needs help from others, so it is not convenient to remind her.

Forget it, as long as she is willing to pay, we won’t bother with her talk.

Meijuan went into the inner room and saw the old lady sitting well on the bed, and she understood what was going on.

"Mom, I heard you weren't feeling well. Why don't you lie down? It's not very convenient for me to come over now, so you have to take care of yourself."

Old Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, "Meijuan, Mom is fine physically, but I'm not feeling well mentally! There's no point just lying down.

It was all Chunling and the others' fault for not knowing the rules, hurting Yuzhu and ruining the relationship between the two families.

For the sake of my old bones, let this matter be over!"

Meijuan took out an apricot-yellow loquat branch handkerchief, pressed the corners of her eyes, and rubbed her nose.

"Mom, I'm a mother too. Yuzhu doesn't have a job and lives in the countryside. Now that this has happened, I don't know what's going to happen to her marriage."

Old Madam Yu started talking, "There are only leftover men in this world, but no unmarried daughters! If you lower your standards a little, you will always find someone who loves her."

Yu Meijuan felt very sad when she heard this. It was the first time she contradicted her mother.

"My Yuzhu did nothing wrong! She is the flesh and blood of my body. If you say anything bad about her again, I won't come back. Wuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

My daughter's good in-laws were snatched away by your granddaughter, and now you want my Yuzhu to lower her standards!

I can't swallow this!

Old Madam Yu kept saying, "Okay, okay, Mom said the wrong thing. Yuzhu will definitely find someone with better conditions in the future!"

Seeing her mother's perfunctory attitude, Yu Meijuan no longer had the heart to deal with it. "Mom, just tell me. If there is anything important, call me back. If there is nothing else, I will go back."

Old Madam Yu glared at her. "Why are you going back? We're having dinner here today. Your sister-in-law went out to buy meat and pork liver before daybreak."

The whole family should sit down and discuss Chunling's marriage. You, as her aunt, cannot be absent."

Yu Meijuan clutched her handkerchief, looking bewildered. "This marriage is a big deal! Chunling has her own parents to worry about, and you, Mom, are there to help. I won't get involved."

Old Madam Yu finally couldn't help herself, "What are you talking about! That thing is in the past, I'm still alive, and when I die and close my eyes, I won't be able to control how you and your brother get along."

Having said that, Meijuan couldn't say anything more.

The meal happened to be ready, Chunling came over to support the old lady, Meijuan helped her, and the family sat around the old eight-immortals table.

Today we have stir-fried pork liver with leeks, stir-fried pork shreds with green peppers, scrambled eggs with garlic leaves in sweet and sour sauce, cold cucumber salad, a big pot of stir-fried green beans, and winter melon and kelp soup.

Yu Hongmin picked up a piece of fried shredded pork and put it in his little sister's bowl. "Meijuan, come back often. Not only does mom miss you, but your brother misses you too."

"Thank you, brother!" Yu Meijuan felt a lump in her throat. Just as she picked up the chopsticks, Li Chunlan spoke.

"Sister-in-law Meijuan, Chunling is getting married, and all the money from our Yu and Xie families has gone into Yuzhu's pocket.

As an aunt, how much dowry should you prepare for your niece's wedding?

And money for combing hair.

The bottom of the box.

Nothing can be left out. We only have one daughter, and Hongmin only has one sister!"

What?

Isn't it enough to just do a favor for my niece's marriage?

Which girl has to pay a dowry?

It's not like he's missing a father or a mother.

That hair-combing money! What is the bottom money in the box?

There is no such rural custom in this county town.

Yes! This was available in the rural area where Yuzhu worked as a sent-down youth. It only cost a couple of yuan, just a token of appreciation.

You ask me, a sister-in-law whose son-in-law had just been taken away, to give her some gifts and then take them to the Xie family?

Isn't this digging my heart and lungs?

Meijuan paused, put the bowl on the table, took out her handkerchief and sobbed.

"I have watched Chunling grow up since she was little, and I wish I could give her a big dowry.

But ever since I returned that day, my power as the head of the household has been taken away from me, and now I have the will but not the strength to do anything about it!"

Li Chunlan's face changed, and she was interrupted by Old Lady Yu, "Meijuan, we don't ask you to pay much, but as a aunt, you should at least show some appreciation."

Li Chunlan quickly changed her tone, "Yes, sister-in-law, how much can you offer?"

Meijuan stammered, "I...I, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but Dahe also has a girlfriend, and Lao Lu has been hiding it from me.

Now they have directly confiscated my rights, saying that I am supporting my parents and can never save any money."

When it comes to this daughter-in-law, Yu Meijuan is at a loss for words, and everything can be said about her.

"My daughter-in-law works in the same unit as him and his son, and she's counting on us to pay for the betrothal gifts and the wedding gifts.

He also said that he wanted to buy three-turn and one-ring and send them directly to her house.

When the wedding comes, bring it along with the bride as a dowry, so that the bride's family will look good."

The Yu family was stunned after hearing this.

It was the first time they heard of marrying off a daughter in this way.

You don't have to spend a penny yourself and you can still hold a decent dowry distribution ceremony.

This matter is face-saving for both sides!

Their family also wants this, okay?

Originally, seeing that the Lu family had money on hand, I wanted to ask my sister-in-law to help out a little.

As a result, the Lu family also had something to spend money on.

Yu Hongmin wiped his lips and said, "Dahe is still young, why is he in such a hurry? It's hard to get a marriage certificate when he's so young, so wouldn't the money be wasted?"

Li Chunlan nodded, "That's right! Both sisters failed. Let's put Dahe's matter aside for now and talk about Chunling's matter first."

It's okay if he dislikes his wife, but Meijuan gets unhappy when others say so!

He ignored his sister-in-law's words and continued with his speech.

“We haven’t even bought a TV at home yet.

When it’s hot in the summer, I also use a palm-leaf fan.

I also want to listen to the radio, but Lao Lu said I am a spendthrift woman who can’t accumulate wealth, and that he will give the keys to his wife from now on.”

The Lu family is used to being frugal, except for Meijuan who is generous to her parents' home.

I will not do it again.

not worth it!

Now, Yu Hongmin felt that the shredded meat in his mouth no longer had any fragrance.

"That's not the case. How much do you and your wife earn? Da He is also earning a salary now. How can you not save money?"

Meijuan glanced at my mother.

Humph! When I come back, I always spend 10 yuan for 8 heads. I have to spend at least 5 yuan, so that my sister-in-law will look better.

This money is like flowing water. It has been spent, and my brother and sister-in-law don’t admit it!

There's no point in saying it myself.
