"That's... Just that bottle, the New Year is called eaten up, how can there be rich. Li Xiulan is not confident, but two cans of canned food are hidden in the cabinet in her room.

Xu Rujiao knew that she guessed correctly, and hurriedly said: "There is always something else when the canned food is eaten up, you took my eldest sister's dowry of fifty yuan, didn't you buy something else during the Chinese New Year?" As she spoke, she glanced at the shabby New Year's gift she was holding, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Mom only gave me twenty-five!" Li Xiulan was anxious, "Besides, it's all about buying clothes and shoes for the children......" She suddenly paused, realizing that she had missed her mouth.

Xu Rujiao said in her heart, looking at Mrs. Li, half questioning and half puzzled: "Grandma, you said that fifty yuan is a thank you matchmaker, but my fourth aunt's family only took twenty-five, where did the other twenty-five go?" ”

Li Xiuqin opened her mouth to speak, but Xu Rujuan quietly pulled her sleeves, after all, it was her dowry, and her grandmother's family took fifty at once, she didn't say it, but she was unhappy in her heart.

- If there were those fifty yuan, Sanya would not have ventured out to sell couplets in the cold winter.

"Don't say it's my mother who honors you", Xu Rujiao said again, "That's my eldest sister's bride price, my eldest sister was not born and raised by you, and you can't be filial if you want to be honored." ”

Xu Rujiao's words were very polite, and she blocked what Mrs. Li wanted to say first.

She was thinking about how to get her eldest sister's dowry money back, but she didn't expect the Li family to make trouble today, so she took this opportunity.

Mrs. Li was speechless for a while, so she could only rely on the old man to sell the old man and take out the money from the elders to suppress people: "Xiuqin! This is the good girl you raised? Is the New Year going to be angry with your wife! ”

"Rujiao! Why don't you speak, hurry up and compensate grandma. Li Xiuqin hurriedly scolded, but she was actually not happy in her heart, it was fifty yuan! I haven't heard of anyone asking for half of the dowry, not to mention that the fourth sister's family only took twenty-five.

"Mom, I'm young and ignorant, I just want to ask the elders, my granddaughter's bride price was robbed by my grandmother of half of it, what did I say?" Xu Rujiao was not afraid, but pressed step by step.

For a while, no one in the room spoke, and everyone knew that the money either went into Sun Guiying's pocket or into Li Xiaowei's stomach.

"If you can't say it, I'll go and ask the village chief and the rest of the village." Xu Rujiao continued.

"You dare!" Mrs. Li had the best face, if she let the people in the village know about this, she would not be allowed to poke her back in the back.

"The production team will show a movie this afternoon, do you dare to see me." Xu Rujiao has the posture of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Mrs. Li had a hard time riding a tiger, and scolded Li Xiuqin a few times, but the other party only reprimanded her, seeing that Xu Rujiao was really going to the production team to make trouble, she could only pay out of her own pocket and return the twenty-five yuan.

Seeing this, Li Xiulan hurriedly said: "I... I'm thanking you for it, and you should give it. ”

Xu Rujiao collected the money, smiled at Li Xiulan, showed a neat little white teeth, and ignored her words.

Don't rush, take your time.

All day long, Mrs. Li had a gloomy face, and when she saw Li Xiuqin, she was even more eager to drive people out, until in the middle of the afternoon, when the second daughter Li Xiurong arrived with her uncle, and her face looked better.

Li Xiurong married another county in this province, although he is also in the countryside, but her husband Zheng Qiang used to be a soldier and could drive, and now he works as a driver in the township government.

As soon as the two came, the atmosphere of the Li family became warm, and Sun Guiying even took out the best dim sum fruit in the family.

"Why didn't you see her take it just now?" Xu Ruyan whispered in Xu Rujiao's ear, and was slapped lightly by Xu Rujuan, "Don't arrange behind your back." ”

"Yes." Xu Rujiao stood as the eldest sister this time, not for anything else, although the second aunt lived far away, she treated them very well.

In her previous life, when she learned that Xu Rujuan was married, she couldn't come back, so she sent a gift of ten yuan. Although I don't usually go back, every time I come, I have a big bag and a small bag, and the food and clothing I buy have always been for several children, and several new clothes in Xu Rujiao's memory when I was a child were bought by my second aunt.

This time was the same, Li Xiurong quickly saw the unusual atmosphere at home, quietly called Xu Rujuan aside, and asked the ins and outs of the matter.

"Hey, my third sister......"
