Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space
Chapter 235: Mrs. Liu's Thoughts
But this time I heard that my parents-in-law prepared a betrothal gift of one hundred taels for my brother's wife, as well as many other gifts.
Mrs. Liu almost lost control and was extremely angry.
I am the eldest daughter-in-law, and the betrothal gift was only ten taels of silver when we got married. Why does my sister-in-law ask for a hundred taels of silver without asking me for anything else?
Besides, my brother’s wife is just a servant bought by my niece. Why?
There are also many headgear and other things.
Although I am already satisfied with this day, I still feel sad and uncomfortable when I hear that my brother-in-law's betrothal gift is higher than mine.
When the people in Liujia Village learned that the Liu family had given such an expensive betrothal gift to their daughter-in-law, they were filled with envy, jealousy, amazement and jealousy.
The Liu family is really rich. Not only did the niece become a county lady, but he also made a lot of money with her.
Some people with ulterior motives cannot bear to see the Liu family's current prosperity and often instigate Mrs. Liu.
Of course, I didn't dare to make any big moves, after all, he was the county lady's uncle.
But there are quite a few provocative words.
"Your parents-in-law still love your brother-in-law the most. This one hundred taels of betrothal money is something that has never been heard of in Yuntai Town."
"You are the eldest daughter-in-law, why did you give all the money to a daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family?"
"Hey, how will people look at you if you do this?"
Mrs. Liu also knew that those people were gossiping and were instigating things because they were jealous of her family's good life.
But she still felt very uncomfortable.
She had indeed done poorly before, and was neither filial to her parents-in-law nor virtuous.
But she also tried to change. She gave her parents-in-law a share of delicious food, paid their pension on time every month, and said she would provide for their retirement.
How can my parents-in-law allow my younger brother and sister-in-law to surpass them?
Mrs. Liu was so depressed that she was about to fall ill. She lay in bed and refused to get up.
She didn't think that Old Man Liu and Mrs. Meng gave a hundred taels of betrothal money because the Chen family also gave a hundred taels of dowry, not to mention some other bedding and other dowry.
When she got married, she didn't even have half a tael of silver as a dowry.
Her parents were essentially selling their daughter to marry their son, and the only dowry they gave her was a quilt, nothing else.
Liu Jingui broke down the whole matter and analyzed it for his mother. Although Mrs. Liu understood it, she still felt uncomfortable.
I always feel that once my brother-in-law and his wife come into the family, their status will be lower than mine.
But today her mother-in-law actually came to see her and gave her a hundred taels of silver. The implication was that since her younger sister-in-law had come into the family, she had to respect the eldest sister-in-law.
But Meng also told her frankly that her family had given her a lot of betrothal gifts, which was all the family's belongings used to marry her, and her family had never let her down.
But Chen Qing's marriage was also a special case, and her in-laws had brought a lot of dowry. If her family's betrothal gift was too little, it would be embarrassing for both parties.
But Meng couldn't let the eldest sister-in-law lose face and suffer a loss, so she decided to give Liu Dasao one hundred taels.
It can also be a form of compensation, so that she doesn't feel sad anymore. She gave birth to a grandson and granddaughter for the Liu family, and she has made great contributions.
Now both Old Man Liu and Mrs. Meng are very satisfied with their eldest daughter-in-law.
What else can they do? Compared with the way their eldest daughter-in-law was before, and looking at the harmonious appearance of their eldest son's family now, they are of course very satisfied.
Mrs. Liu felt very embarrassed, but was also touched by the affection of her parents-in-law.
After all, no daughter-in-law is as considerate as her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Liu held the banknotes that her mother-in-law had forced upon her, and for the first time she felt a little ashamed, and she stopped having wild thoughts.
She worked hard to take care of herself, cheer herself up, and regardless of what those gossips said, she began to help her parents-in-law arrange her brother-in-law's marriage.
When Liu learned about the family situation, she did not feel sorry for the money her mother gave to her sister-in-law. Instead, when she went to the silver shop, she bought a gold bracelet for her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Liu wanted to refuse, but her eyes were glued to the bracelet. She had never owned any gold jewelry.
But she is much more sensible now. Why should a sister-in-law like her need things from her sister-in-law, no matter how much she likes it?
Liu said that her niece earned some money this year and bought jewelry for her mother and aunt. This bracelet was bought as a filial honor to her aunt.
Mrs. Liu accepted it with great joy, and Mrs. Liu felt relieved.
As long as my parents live happily and peacefully, and my parents are not angry, I won’t feel bad about spending a little money.
At the same time, after going through all these things, Mrs. Liu also began to feel that she was the eldest sister-in-law.
As for how to be a good sister-in-law, that’s a story for later.
Craftsman Li was shocked when he saw the drawings for the first time.
The construction of the Xiao family's mansion was already surprising enough.
The current workshop drawings made his eyes light up.
