Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Besides, her niece-in-law has already given her niece such a large dowry, why shouldn't the Shen family see it?

The Shen family is well-off, but her brother's family isn't exactly poor either.

Since they want to see it, let them see it.

Gu Shuhe was an obedient child. When Gu Jin asked her to open it, she took out the key tied with the red cloth strip and unlocked the box.

As Gu Shuhe opened the box, she said, "There's not much inside, just the betrothal gifts from your family and the dowry money from my parents and my brother and sister-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, the box was lifted up with a "click".

Shen's relatives all gathered around at once.

then……

"Hiss~" A collective gasp instantly filled the air around them.

No one spoke for a long time inside the room.

After a long while, a soft voice murmured, "My goodness, half a box!"

Chen Ying's face was practically beaming with joy.

Of course, he also praised her, saying, "Shuhe, your in-laws really dote on you."

"But don't worry, now that you're in our family, I'll treat you like my own daughter."

Gu Shuhe slammed the box shut again, then slowly locked it before replying to Chen Ying, "The two thousand eight hundred yuan inside was given to me by my sister-in-law, not by my parents."

Chen Ying immediately replied with a smile, "Your sister-in-law is so good to you, she really treats you like her own sister."

Gu Shuhe nodded, "I agree with that."

Once the 2,800 yuan was confirmed to be real, the Shen family's extended family members started talking loudly after leaving the bridal chamber.

As the discussion grew louder and louder, everyone unconsciously turned their attention to Jiang Ruoruo, who was still at the Shen family's house.

Some people are saying, "I wonder how much dowry the Jiang family will provide?"

"Who knows!"

"We can't expect the Jiang family to give two thousand eight hundred as well, can we?"

"Perhaps!"

Amidst the murmurs, Jiang Ruoruo could no longer remain seated and got up to leave the Shen family's house.

Jiang Ruoruo's parents also left the table. Jiang Ruoruo's father went to say goodbye to Shen Pengfei and tell him about going back.

Zhou Fenfen, holding her daughter's hand, awkwardly greeted the people next to her, and then walked towards the bicycle parking area.

Jiang Ruoruo had already been pulled to the bicycle parking area, but she couldn't hold back her anger.

He flung Zhou Fenfen's hand away.

Zhou Fenfen immediately grabbed her arm again, "What are you doing?"

"So what if they say a few words?"

"What, you want to take more than two thousand yuan as a dowry and see what happens?" Zhou Fenfen thought Jiang Ruoruo was angry about this.

But actually...

"They said that two of my six outfits were bought for me by Shen Tingyu himself!"

Zhou Fenfen was taken aback when she heard this, but she quickly composed herself and began to comfort Jiang Ruoruo, saying, "No matter who bought it, it's fine as long as it was bought for you!"

But Jiang Ruoruo simply wouldn't have it: "How can they be the same?"

"So Gu Shuhe's things were all bought by the Shen family, but mine became bought by Shen Tingyu. What will others think of me?" Jiang Ruoruo was smarter this time. She didn't speak loudly, but looked around and asked her mother in a low voice.

Zhou Fenfen could only advise, "That's just right. Their family gave you less, and we gave you less dowry, so it's only natural that you won't have to endure any criticism after you marry into the family."

"If they were the same, your sister-in-law would have brought such a large dowry, and your mother-in-law would probably say some very hurtful things to you!"

"Now that their family hasn't prepared everything for you properly, you can confidently retort whenever they bring up your dowry."

That seemed to make sense, but Jiang Ruoruo was still furious.

Just as she was feeling indignant, her father arrived.

As her father arrived, Gu Jin and the other wedding party members also came out of the bridal chamber.

They delivered the person's belongings, provided them with food and sweet soup, and now it's time for them to leave.

Chen Ying held a stack of red envelopes and stuffed them into the hands of each person who came to escort the bride. Then, together with Gu Shuhe and Shen Tingci, she saw the bride off at the door.

Shen Pengfei also came out of the house to see the guests off.

It wasn't appropriate for the Jiang family to push their bicycles away at this time, so Jiang Ruoruo's father gestured for them to wait.

The Shen family members saw off the Gu family members as they departed.

Shen Tingyu followed behind.

Jiang Ruoruo's anger might have lessened if she hadn't seen Shen Tingyu.

Upon seeing Shen Tingyu, Jiang Ruoruo was furious.

She felt that the main fault lay with Shen Tingyu.

Not only did he lie to her, but he also sided with his parents.

Or rather, he's on the same side as his brother and sister-in-law.

Otherwise, he shouldn't have agreed to this plan where he would pay for it himself.

Moreover, look at him, he's even coming out to see off the Gu family's relatives with a beaming smile.

Jiang Ruoruo planned to ask Shen Tingyu for clarification later.

When Gu Jin and the others came out, the tractor was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Before Gu Jin and the others got into the car, they looked at Gu Shuhe with some reluctance, especially Gu Jin, who held Gu Shuhe's hand and said, "Take good care of yourself!"

Seeing the reluctance on everyone's faces, Gu Shuhe's eyes welled up with tears.

After Gu Jin and the others got on the bus, her throat felt like it was stuffed with wet cotton, making her feel uncomfortable and wanting to cry.

Just then, her hand was grasped.

When her hand was suddenly grasped, Gu Shuhe immediately held back her tears.

Then she glared fiercely at the person next to her.

Despite having his family by his side, Shen Tingci mustered his courage and held his wife's hand outside, hoping to make her feel supported and less distressed.

He thought his wife would be very touched by his actions, but...

Shen Tingci glanced to the side and met Gu Shuhe's fierce glare, and he subconsciously felt guilty.

He is a native of this era, deeply influenced by the environment, and has never been reckless in his conduct and actions.

Holding his wife's hand in public was the most reckless thing he ever did.

He considered himself reckless and unserious, so he thought it was normal for Gu Shuhe to be angry.

Thinking that Gu Shuhe was angry, Shen Tingci subconsciously gave her an apologetic look, and then awkwardly let go of Gu Shuhe's hand.

Gu Shuhe glared at him, and when she saw that it was Shen Tingci holding her hand, she felt embarrassed.

After all, Shen Tingci is now her rightful husband.

As a husband, isn't it normal to hold your wife's hand?

But she glared at him so fiercely.

Gu Shuhe was also very embarrassed.

Gu Shuhe wanted to say a few words to comfort him and show that she didn't mean to be so fierce.

But then the car started moving with a "putt-putt" sound.

Gu Jin, sitting in the car, said to the Shen family, "Let's go in, we're leaving."

"Auntie," Gu Shuhe said, disregarding her embarrassment, and quickly stepped forward.

Gu Jin simply waved her hand, "Go inside quickly, it's windy outside!"

Gu Jinfeng waved her hand, "Shuhe, we're leaving."

Gu Shuhe's emotions had been shattered by Shen Tingci. Now, she just raised her hand and waved to Gu Jinfeng and the others, then watched the tractor drive away with a "putt-putt" sound.

As soon as the tractor drove away, the people who had come to the banquet said goodbye to the Shen family and went home.

Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying, the couple, began to decline guests one by one.

Gu Shuhe stood there, watching the car disappear from sight, her eyes starting to sting again.

Then Shen Tingci came over and asked her, "Did you just eat?"

"Shall we go get something else to eat?"
