Zhang Shi and Xiao Xiuer naturally knew that their own families were getting married today. Although they were happy, they still weren't sure.

Especially Xiao Xiuer, she felt that she was different from the girls in the village since a young age. Whether she had a pure white brain or learned everything quickly, she would not argue endlessly with the girls in the village over a handkerchief or even a head full of schemes.

Zhou Yanxing had seen it before, but he had not met it accidentally. Zhou Yanxing would not fall in love with her at first sight, and would not insist on marrying her regardless of his family's objections. Zhou Yanxing had an ordinary appearance and a petite figure, but all of these were nothing in front of his family, to the point that Xiao Xiuer felt that he was doing fine, a tall and robust man would cause people to be afraid.

The wedding date was set for next year's spring. Originally, everything was fine, but she was also slowly embroidering her dowry and waiting for it to start next year to get married, but she did not know what exactly happened.

Not mentioning Xiao Xiuer, the Zhang Clan had experienced a lot and thought about even more things. Before the date was set, people had to look for a date. Normally, they wouldn't easily change it. The Zhou family would usually get married in advance, so how could Zhang Lady Zhang not let her thoughts run wild?

No matter how Mrs Zhang looked at it, she felt that the dowry was a bit thin, not to mention that the man had even added a betrothal gift. Then her dowry should at least be a bit more! Forget about other things, just Dazong's daughter-in-law marrying into this world and bringing in two handfuls of dowry, no matter what, their own family would need to get two handfuls of dowry, in order to not look so shabby!

Seeing that her man did not make a sound, Mrs. Zhang asked: ”Xiu Er's father, say something!”

”Xiu Er's father, I can listen to father and mother for anything, but this is a big matter of our Xiu Er. Go and ask father, why did the Zhou family change their wedding date so much, and why did they have to add more dowry? Our daughter should marry and live a good life, right?”

Xiao He did not make a sound, Zhang Shi looked at his man, and couldn't help but to sigh. He had heard from the matchmaker that of the three sons of the Zhou family, only Zhou Yanxing was unmarried. The two of them were sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law was also from the town, and their family also had a shop open.

Only his family was a Military, and his position was already low. If the dowry was so shabby, how could Xiu Er hold his head up in the Zhou family in the future?

Mrs Zhang felt that she was already like this for the rest of her life. Her only wish was for her daughters to get married and have a good life. She did not have a son, so she did not have any face or say anything in front of her parents-in-law.

When Xiao He heard her mutter, his eyebrows knitted even more tightly. He became impatient and stood up and said: ”If you're going to say it, then I'm not going to say it!”

Seeing her crying like that, Xiao Xiuer felt even worse, and quickly used a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Seeing her beautiful eldest daughter crying like she was made of jade, Xiao Xiuer's heart ached and he couldn't help but to hug Xiao Xiuer and cry.

Xiao Xiuer comforted Zhang Shi, but she kept sighing in her heart. Father felt that he was a cripple without a son. If it wasn't for father and mother and brothers taking care of him, how could he possibly live his life, so he never dared to say a ”No” to Xiao Pao and Xiao Li's disease. Similarly, Father and mother felt that they were inferior to each other since they didn't have any sons.

But to marry into the Zhou family, Xiao Xiuer was unwilling!

A few days ago, she had asked Wang Daniu to send a letter to her family, but today, Wang Daniu had brought her the reply from his family, along with an exquisite silver hairpin.

Xu Hui looked at the letter and realized that it was a gift Xu Jingan had prepared for her. Originally, he wanted to bring her back to celebrate, but he didn't want to fight anymore. Guest House didn't allow anyone to enter, so he could only send someone over to bring gifts.

Xu Hui looked at the silver hairpin. Although it was made of hollow flowers and twigs, it was very exquisite and beautiful. She did not know where Xu Jingan got it from after much effort.

Thinking about Xu Jingan's handwritten letter, which contained a deep apology between the lines, Xu Hui's eyes couldn't help but turn red. For their children, their parents always wanted to give them the best. Even though they had done their best, they still felt that they had not done enough.

Thinking about the news that Wang Daniu had told her, Xu Hui bit her lips and secretly made a decision.
