Chapter 43 pt 1 (1/2)
When they saw Zhao shi like this, what else did they not understand.
Sun shi said, “Mother, even if the Zhao family is relatives with us, there is no way to marry a wife and not give a dowry gift. Even those who are too poor to buy a wife will have to spend money. Who has heard of a family that doesn’t want to pay a penny of a bride price, yet wants the girl and requires the dowry to be paid by the bride’s family.”
These words didn’t ignite Zhao Shi, but they ignited Xue Cui’e.
She stood up and said: “Sister-in-law, do you know how to speak? What do you mean by wanting the girl and the silver?”
Sun shi faked a smile and said, “Isn’t that the reason? Cui’e is not that sister-in-law wants to scold you, but no family has done such a unreasonable thing.”
“What do you mean? I’m willing, ok? The two families are so close, so who cares about this.” Xue Cui’e said very indignantly.
“Since no one cares, why do we need a dowry? They don’t give the dowry, and we don’t give the dowry. Isn’t it fine?” Sun shi muttered.
Xue Cui’e couldn’t believe that Sun Shi even said that. She cried out loud.
“Fourth brother, look at Sister-in-law! Look at her!”
Without waiting for Xue Qinghuai to speak, Sun shi said, “What do you want your fourth brother to see? Isn’t it this reason?! Who doesn’t pay a dowry yet requires that we have to pay a dowry. You go anywhere and ask if there is any reason!”
Xue Cui’e was howling and crying, and Elder Xue’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: “Crying! You still have the face to cry. If not for you doing such a shameful thing, would things become like this!”
“Old man…” Zhao shi was so distressed that she couldn’t help but say something.
Father Xue slammed the smoke pot on the kang table with a bang: “You shut up, if you hadn’t taught such a shameless thing, would the family be like this?! I let you take care of her, and this happens. How do you say it, after you shit, wipe your own butt. I don’t care anymore!”
After a suffocating silence, Zhao shi cried, and the mother and daughter cried together as if they had been abused by someone.
All the people below were shocked, because the meaning of Father Xue’s words was really surprising.
What he meant was that Xue Cui’e had done something shameful and was found out by others, so the Zhao family was reluctant to offer the betrothal gift, and instead, the Xue family had to pay more dowry.
If this is the case, Xue Cui’e and Zhao Jinrui can only have done something very shameful.
