I can’t bear to bully her.
What’s more, sister-in-law sent them away to ask for him.
Why is Ruoruo crying?
It’s really making me anxious.
I thought about a lot of things in the kitchen just now.
"Ruoruo, stop crying."
Du Ruo sobbed as she looked at the few who cared about her, wiping her tears, "I’m okay."
"Alright, stop crying. As for this matter, how we’ll handle it, you probably haven’t told Xiao Yang and the others, so I’ll speak up for you."
Du Ruo really didn’t know how to start.
"It’s like this: her sister-in-law wants Xiao Yang to give 1888 as a dowry, Ruoruo feels troubled, not knowing how to tell you."
for the dowry?
This price is a bit high.
Yun Xiaoxiao continued, "This isn’t the part that makes Ruoruo sad, it’s when her sister-in-law mentioned such a large dowry, her parents were present, but no one said a word."
This startled the three generations again.
Fang Chaoyang understood: They came, not to see if Ruoruo’s future husband was good.
But to check his status.
To see if he has money.
Otherwise, the amount of the dowry wouldn’t be suggested by the daughter-in-law.
"Ruoruo, as long as your parents are willing to let you marry me, I’m willing to pay this dowry."
Instantly, Du Ruo’s eyes reddened again.
"I thought I was my parents’ treasured daughter, now I see clearly, my parents are still favoring sons over daughters."
No matter that she is the only daughter in the family.
"Your parents raised you for so many years, they should indeed receive a dowry." Grandma Fang also felt a bit heartbroken that so much dowry is required.
But the grandson isn’t young anymore, and this granddaughter-in-law is still a college student.
"But I don’t want to give it." Du Ruo said firmly.
In the past two years, her boyfriend brought quite a bit back for her, but once back, her sister-in-law still looked at her unfavorably.
She suddenly realized, even though her parents were there, even if they were going to depend on the eldest brother and sister-in-law for support in old age, they rarely got into conflict with the sister-in-law for her sake.
"After I went to college, my household registration was moved out."
Fang Chaoyang looked at Du Ruo and said in a low voice, "Ultimately, your parents raised you for so many years, this dowry money counts as repaying them for raising you, what do you think?"
But it’s a lot of money.
A worker earns only fifty.
Over a thousand, nearly two thousand.
A year is only over six hundred, more than three years’ wages.
"But it’s really too much."
"Because it’s you, it’s not too much."
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, really hadn’t noticed, Xiao Yang actually knows how to speak sweet words.
Why does it feel a bit abstinent?
"Xiao Yun, is your steamed pork cooking?"
"It’s cooking, I’ll go check."
Yun Xiaoxiao also followed.
Grandma Fang also went out, leaving just the two of them in the living room.
"Miss Yun, how did I, at my age, not see that Ruoruo’s parents are like this? I thought they looked down on us because we’re from the countryside." Grandma Fang said somewhat self-reproachfully.
"Grandma Fang, people’s hearts are hard to gauge, many parents favor sons over daughters, and bias towards sons is too normal. In fact, her parents have jobs, but as for future support in old age, do they need to humble themselves in front of the son and daughter-in-law?
Thinking too simply, when they retire or are laid off later, their hard days will e along, just wait and see!"
Grandma Fang and Fang Meiyun looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, as if asking how she knew this.
"Didn’t I go back to my family last year? My second brother told me."
