Shi Qiwan looked at the hidden smiles of the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, and became embarrassed and angry. ƒrēewebnovel.com
But she didn’t dare to refute her mother-in-law, so she could only nod obediently and said, "Mother, I understand."
Now that the troublemaker has been taught a lesson, the second and third daughters-in-law don’t dare to try their luck at all. Under Mother Liu’s stern gaze, they worked silently, not daring to be lazy.
In the kitchen, the only voices from time to time are Liu Hua and Mother Liu conversations.
Not long after, Liu Fuyan came over and said, "Grandma, Uncle Xiao and his family are coming soon. Grandpa asked you to change clothes and wait for them."
When Mother Liu heard this, she quickly washed her hands and said, "Okay, okay. Ah Yan, come and help your youngest aunt."
"Yes, Grandma"
After washing her hands, she entered the kitchen and asked, "Youngest aunt, is there anything I can do for you?"
Liu Hua loved her niece the most and said, "Ah Yan, help me make steamed buns."
Used to work at home, Liu Fuyan readily agreed, "Okay."
As soon as she accepted the task, she started working without saying a word.
Shi Qiwan looked at her daughter and complained in a low voice, "I don’t know who she learned those attitudes from. With a character like this, who will marry her in the future?"
Despite hearing her mother’s hurtful words, Liu Fuyan continued to work expressionlessly while thinking, ’Mother ah mother, before you scold me, you should try to recall how your husband behaves usually. While you were worried about my marriage prospects, I already feel sorry for your future son-in-law.
Whoever marries me must have committed an unforgivable sin in their previous life since they will have you as their mother-in-law. What an ill-fated relationship ah!’
Everyone thought Liu Fuyan was sad because of her mother’s words, but only Liu Hua knew how rebellious and stubborn her niece was. How could they get along so well if her niece’s personalities weren’t similar to hers?
Only Shi Qiwan, this idiot, didn’t know that she mistook pearls for fish eyes. Thinking of this, Liu Hua looked at her eldest sister-in-law with eyes full of pity.
Facing her gaze, Shi Qiwan was confused, but still glared at Liu Hua, "What are you looking at?"
Just when she felt confused by the sudden pity she received, Mother Liu, Father Liu, and the Liu brothers were already waiting at the front gate.
They thought that even if the Lu family and the Li family came as Xiao Li’s family today, not many people would know about their daughter’s happy event. So they were all surprised when they heard cheers and laughter before they even saw the people.
In the living room, Father Liu and Mother Liu were sitting on the main seat, looking at the bamboo basket placed in the front yard, their eyes full of joy.
When they heard Xiao Li promise that their daughter would not be wronged if she married him, they thought that as long as he could treat her well, that would be enough.
But today, when they saw the bride price he prepared to propose to their daughter, they finally understood what Xiao Li meant. With this kind of betrothal gift, their family was given a lot of faces by Xiao Li ah!
After everyone sat down, the Liu brothers also walked into the living room and sat opposite Xiao Li and the matchmakers.
Seeing the joy on the Liu family’s faces, Aunt Lin took out a piece of paper from her pocket and said, "In-laws, here is the list of bride price and betrothal gifts. Today, we put everything together."
After receiving the list of items, Mother Liu said, "In-laws, I believe you have prepared everything as we agreed. Therefore, we will not check these items anymore."
After putting away the list of items, she added, "As for the dowry, my family will take half of the food and give the rest to my daughter when she gets married."
Under normal circumstances, the bride’s dowry is prepared separately by her natal family. Therefore, when they get married, most of them do not receive any share of their bride price or betrothal gift. So, when everyone heard what Mother Liu said, they were all shocked.
Then, they looked at the Liu brothers and found that none of them disagreed with their mother’s words. It seems that the Liu family loves Liu Hua more than they imagined.
