Chapter 691: Chapter 691 No Dowry Prepared
Little Uncle Zhao and Little Aunt Zhao moved in, knowing that Wang Yuei and Zhao Tianhe had to go to work, they sent them off and then ca over to the Courtyard House to see Mrs. Zhao and Captain Zhao.
They were busy preparing so dowry for Zhao Xinxin.
“Sister-in-law, my son’s mother-in-law hadn’t prepared any dowry at all, Yuei’s bridal clothes were all prepared by our side.”
This left Little Aunt Zhao at a loss for words.
She had lived long enough to see village brides married off without any dowry from their parents.
But this was in the city.
Could there really be such people here too?
They gave nothing, not even a cup.
This morning, the daughter-in-law got up early to cook, and her cooking skills were average at best.
Mrs. Zhao was actually a bit surprised too.
She had three sons.
Their wives were not like Xiao He’s wife.
Even Laoer’s wife’s family had given a little dowry.
Laoer’s wife’s family even more so.
Laosan’s wife’s family, she had only t the mother-in-law till now, and hadn’t seen the father-in-law, but they clearly cherished their daughter, otherwise they wouldn’t send money and parcels even after she was married.
“She also has a job, and although it’s temporary, finding a job in the city is not easy, so her parents must have called in so favors to get her that job,” Mrs. Zhao could only offer comfort in this way.
Otherwise, her daughters-in-law would definitely feel uncomfortable.
The betrothal gifts given were not small, but without any dowry to accompany them, it would have been strange if they were satisfied.
However, what Mrs. Zhao said did indeed make Little Aunt Zhao feel a lot better.
Indeed, she had a job.
But still, she was not completely satisfied with Wang Yuei’s parents.
Rural areas often favored boys over girls, and of course, the cities had this issue too.
But they had given a betrothal gift of three hundred.
It really wasn’t a small amount.
After changing into a new outfit, Wang Yuei was dropped off at the factory gate by Zhao Tianhe to go to work.
“Yuei, over here…” As she entered the workshop, a dorm-mate called out to her.
Those who shared a dorm with Wang Yuei knew she had gotten married yesterday.
She got married yesterday, and today she was already back at work.
Moreover, she wore new clothes even though she was dressed in a factory uniform outside, it was still obvious that she wore new clothes underneath.
“Have so sweets.”
Wang Yuei took out candies from her pocket and handed them to her dorm-mates one by one.
“Eh, a wristwatch?”
Seeing a wristwatch on Wang Yuei’s wrist that looked expensive, a roommate asked in surprise.
Suddenly, those around her all took a closer look.
“Did your beau buy that for you?”
Wang Yuei explained with a smile, “No, it was a gift from my sister-in-law.”
“Your sister-in-law from your own family?”
Could it be?
Wang Yuei shook her head, “No, it’s my sister-in-law from my husband’s side, she’s still studying at Tsing University, she gave it to .”
The sister-in-law from her husband’s family?
Her first gift was a wristwatch.
“That wristwatch, I seem to have seen it sowhere, and it’s not cheap, at least worth over two hundred.”
As these words ca out, many looked at Wang Yuei with envy and jealousy.
After working with Wang Yuei for so long, they knew that she wasn’t particularly favored at ho.
But now that she was married, her husband treated her well, and her sister-in-law even gave her such an expensive wristwatch; it all made them very envious.
This wristwatch was the first one Wang Yuei had ever received in her life.
She really didn’t know it was so expensive.
Over two hundred?
That was nearly a year’s salary for her.
“I’ve seen it at a jewelry store before, it’s said to be waterproof, and it costs more than two hundred.” A female comrade glanced at Wang Yuei’s wristwatch and delivered this comnt.
