Chapter 952: Chapter 952 I Cherish Her So Much, There’s No Time to Spare to Hurt Her
The Kong Family certainly took the event seriously; virtually the entire household was present, along with some of the Kong Family’s relatives and close friends. Several lively tables had been set up, and Old Master Gu had also been invited over.
The two families chatted amicably and the wedding date was set for the sixteenth of the next month. The Kong Family members had long since learned from Kong Xiangru’s mouth about the generous dowries given by the brides of the Lu Family, so the two sisters-in-law of the Kong Family dared not underestimate this familiar fiancée who hadn’t yet married into the family.
Ever since Fu Lanhua, who was about to become a mother-in-law, found out that the Lu Family had prepared so many fine items, she had been thinking of whether it might be possible to take one or two things to give to her nephew as a betrothal gift.
After all, the household already had everything, and there was no way they could use two TVs or two refrigerators. She thought this would certainly solve her urgent needs.
A few days ago, her older brother from her maternal family had come to see her, saying that his son was getting married and the bride’s family demanded at least two major appliances, or else they wouldn’t agree to the marriage.
Although the members of the Kong Family all had jobs, their expenditures over the year were not insignificant. Not to mention that each person only contributed ten yuan per month to the household for living expenses, so they really hadn’t saved much money.
Calculating the time, it was just right; waiting a little over a month was feasible. When the time came and she asked, she believed the new bride surely wouldn’t be able to deny her this favor.
Once the details were settled, Wang Xiaoxin proposed to take a look at the bridal chamber. The two sisters-in-law of the Kong Family led the group to the new house, which was decently prepared and quite acceptable.
After returning to the living room, Luo Qiao said, "Uncle Kong, it’s like this; I’ve seen that the bridal chamber is almost ready. Our Lu Family has prepared an entire house as part of the dowry for our little sister.
On the day of the wedding, we’ll display the dowry items for show and then have them sent to the dowried house. What do you think? After all, I don’t think there’s enough space in that room for so many things."
Originally, Luo Qiao had planned to give Lu Yiting a house as part of her dowry because the items they had collected at Yin Tiao Ridge couldn’t possibly be taken out and divided again. She wouldn’t take the risk, so she thought of providing two houses to her Big Brother and little sister’s family later on as compensation.
When the dowry was mentioned earlier, and seeing the calculative look in the mother-in-law’s eyes, she decided to bring it up ahead of time, which could later save her sister-in-law a lot of trouble.
Because she hadn’t discussed this beforehand with her family, Luo Qiao gave them a reassuring look, and everyone understood and was appeased.
Kong Cunlai was momentarily stunned by Luo Qiao’s words; including a house as part of the dowry was no small matter, so he looked towards the people from the Lu and Gu families who were present.
Master Gu smiled and said, "Yes, Yiting has been like a daughter to us since she lost her mother; her two brothers and sisters-in-law adore her and this house is a token of their affection."
The envious look in the eyes of the two daughters-in-law of the Kong Family was too apparent to hide. They hadn’t expected that, in addition to the dowry items, a house would be given as well. They were extremely jealous, but who told them they didn’t have such generous siblings?
Luo Qiao’s actions today were meant to let the Kong Family know that Lu Yiting was protected and cherished by the Lu and Gu families, and they should be well aware of that.
Only then did Kong Cunlai turn towards Luo Qiao, "What’s not to like about that? It’s Yiting’s good fortune to have a brother and sister-in-law who cherish her like you do."
He then turned his head towards his youngest son, "Xiangrui, you lucky boy. If you ever let Yiting suffer even the slightest grievance, see how I’ll deal with you."
Wang Xiaoxin said with a smile, "If Yiting suffers any grievances, Uncle Kong won’t need to lift a finger; our Lu Family won’t let him off the hook."
Although these words were said with laughter, the threat behind them was quite clear.
Kong Xiangrui, who had a thick skin, quickly responded, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, I surely won’t let Yiting suffer any grievances. I cherish her too much; I couldn’t dote on her enough."
Everyone in the room laughed upon hearing these shameless words.
But it was then that Fu Lanhua said, "It wouldn’t look good for the dowry items not to be unloaded on the wedding day. It might make people think it’s all just for show, and that they’ll be taken back later. We don’t want anyone saying anything unpleasant."
At this, Luo Qiao said, "Everyone here is above such pettiness. Unless someone is eyeing those dowry items, who would be so petty as to gossip about that? Don’t you think so, Auntie Kong?"
Fu Lanhua’s eyes flashed with panic, and everyone present saw it clearly.
