On this day, Grandma Li came to her son's house with anger. She said to her daughter-in-law Huimin with a gloomy face: You should return the bride price I distributed to you, right?
Huimin asked in surprise: Mom, why did you regret it when you just distributed the bride price to us?
Grandma Li said angrily: It’s not that I regret it, it’s that you are lying in the inside and pretending to be a good person. Where can you put my mother’s face in this way?
Huimin asked strangely: Mom, why are you talking about it?
Grandma Li was even more angry and said: You are really pretending to be confused with understanding. I ask you, why did you give her a red envelope of 10,000 yuan when your sister-in-law gets married? Please comment on this principle. My daughter gets married and I want the bride price. If you give her money as your sister-in-law, why don’t you embarrass me?
It turns out that Grandma Li has a son and a daughter. When her son got married, Grandma Li spent all her family and bought a house and a car for her son. After the son got married, he lived in a newly bought wedding house, while Grandma Li and her husband lived in the old house.
Grandma Li's daughter Yuanyuan is quite promising. After graduating from college, she worked in a company and got a high salary. Yuanyuan is about to get married, but Grandma Li is extremely angry. She said to her daughter: Your dad and I work hard to support you until we graduate from college, and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan. It’s really that you were at your parents’ home when you spent money and went to your in-laws’ home when you made money. The parents of your parents are so in trouble. When you get married, you have to give your parents a minimum of 200,000 yuan in bride price! My daughter Yuanyuan agreed readily.
When Yuanyuan got married, she really gave her parents a bride price of 200,000 yuan. In order to thank her brother for treating her since childhood, she also bought a car for her brother. For Yuanyuan, spending 300,000 or 400,000 yuan to her parents' family is just her annual salary income.
After receiving the 200,000 yuan betrothal gift, Li said to his wife: My son and daughter-in-law still have to support their grandson, and they have to spend money. When we are old, we don’t usually spend much money. Let’s share this 200,000 yuan to my son! My wife agrees.
Huimin is Yuanyuan's sister-in-law. She thought that her sister-in-law bought a car for her husband before she got married, and she should have expressed her words out of etiquette. So, when her sister-in-law got married, Huimin gave Yuanyuan a red envelope of 10,000 yuan.
Soon, it spread between relatives, saying that when Yuanyuan got married, her mother asked for a dowry of 200,000 yuan, but she didn't have a dowry. However, she was a sister-in-law but gave her a red envelope of 10,000 yuan to her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law was deeply in love. Grandma Li was very annoyed about this, thinking that her daughter-in-law was making a fool of her, embarrassing her, and provoking the relationship between them, and she also gave her son and daughter-in-law a bride price of 100,000 yuan. She did a good deed but didn't know how to be grateful. In anger, Grandma Li found her daughter-in-law to ask for the 100,000 yuan benefactor.
After Huimin figured out the reason, she said to Grandma Li: Mom, how can you think so? Yuanyuan is your daughter. You worked hard to raise her. It is worth asking for the bride price, and she would not say anything. But I got married from outside. Yuanyuan also bought us a car. If I didn’t give her a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, she would think that I, the unkind person who is a sister-in-law, is different from your role!
When Grandma Li heard what her daughter-in-law Huimin said, she immediately turned anger into joy and said to Huimin: Mom is not as good as you after she has lived for decades. You can do things. If you do well, you can keep the 100,000 yuan bride price! Grandma Li left happily...
