Chapter 287 - 287 Eldest Aunt’s Confrontation (1)



Eldest Aunt, Chen Qiuxiang, brought her husband and their unmarried son, Shi Zhiyuan, back to her parents’ house.

Chen Qiuxiang had four sisters and a younger brother.

Chen Qiuxiang was the eldest sister. Her only younger brother was 26 years old this year.

She was twenty years older than her youngest brother.

In her parents’ minds, the sisters were born to serve their younger brother.

!!

Back then, when Chen Qiuxiang was twenty years old, they should have been discussing marriage. However, because of her younger brother’s birth, her parents did not agree with her getting married so early. At her age, she could go out to work to earn money and send the money home to raise her brother.

It was fine if she wanted to marry, but they had to ask for a high betrothal gift.

This high betrothal gift scared away the men who went on blind dates with her.

Back then, Chen Qiuxiang did not intend to marry early. It did not matter to her if her parents asked for a high betrothal gift that scared the blind dates away.

She stayed single until she was 25 years old.

Chen Qiuxiang was the eldest daughter. Whether she was beautiful or not was another matter, but she was really capable.

In five years, she had given her family almost 5,000 dollars a year. This was a huge sum of money in the era when the salary of civil servants was only up to 400 dollars.

This made the Chen family even more unwilling to let their eldest daughter get married.

After getting married, so much money would definitely not fall into their hands. What would happen to their son when they were old in the future?

However, in rural areas, girls who were over 24 years old were considered leftover women.

The older one got, the harder it was to get married. Moreover, she would receive betrothal gifts that were lower in value compared to younger girls.

The Chen parents did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Even if a matchmaker came to visit, they would use the excuse that their eldest daughter was unwilling to marry and reject her.

However, everyone knew that it was not that Chen Qiuxiang was unwilling to marry. It was just that her parents wanted her to earn money for their son. How could they bear to let her marry? After she got married, with her eldest daughter’s personality, they would definitely not be able to get money.

However, when one fate arrived, one would naturally want to get married.

At the age of 25, Chen Qiuxiang, who was working outside, met Shi Lichun. Their relationship started from love at first sight. Loyalty grew with time.

When her parents knew that Chen Qiuxiang had a boyfriend, they were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.

They didn’t agree!

However, they had no choice but to agree. Chen Qiuxiang was determined to marry Shi Lichun.

The Chen family’s parents could only ask for a high betrothal gift. Who would have thought that Chen Qiuxiang would reject them so readily? Moreover, she remembered clearly all the money she had earned for the family over the years and said, “This money can be said to be the betrothal gift I earned for myself. It can also be a dowry. If you insist on a high betrothal gift, then at least half of the money I give the family will be my dowry! Otherwise, who would dare to marry a daughter of our Chen family in the future?”

The Shi family was very sincere in asking to marry Chen Qiuxiang. The betrothal gift was a little higher than that of ordinary families.

However, Chen Qiuxiang was very determined. She wanted her parents to give her a certain dowry. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to selling their daughter. In the future, they would cut ties and have no contact!

How could they sever ties?

Everyone in the surrounding villages knew that the Shi family was from a good family.

They were still hoping that their future in-laws would help their son…

Hence, they gritted their teeth and gave a good dowry.

However, they never expected that their married daughter would really be like water that had been splashed out.

In the future, they would not be able to take advantage of anything.

It was not that the Shi family was unwilling to help, but Chen Qiuxiang had rejected them.

In Chen Qiuxiang’s words, before she got married, she had to work hard for that family. After she got married, she had to protect her own family, and not care about her maiden family.

If her maternal family was a good family, or if they really encountered any difficulties, she would definitely have no qualms about helping.

Relatives were supposed to help each other.

However, no one knew better than Chen Qiuxiang that the Chen family was a bottomless pit.

After helping them once and giving them money, they would try their best to suck blood in the future.

In the past, it was fine to suck her blood alone, but she could not let her maternal family suck her in-laws’ blood.

Therefore, Grandma said that this eldest daughter-in-law was very opinionated and could control her family.

If her eldest daughter-in-law was weaker and compromised with her family, her relationship with her in-laws might not be satisfactory.

“Aiyo, Eldest Sister, Eldest Brother-in-law, you’re here! You’re really busy. You only arrived at this time.” When Third Sister Chen Dongxiang saw Chen Qiuxiang arrive, her face was filled with mockery and envy. She sized up Chen Qiuxiang and a trace of jealousy flashed across her eyes. She smiled and said, “Eldest Sister, I haven’t seen you for a while. You’re really getting prettier! Look at your fair skin again. Eldest Sister, did your rich sister-in-law give you high-end cosmetics again? Also, are these clothes and jewelry given by your sister-in-law? It’s good to have a rich sister-in-law who can casually give you so many things…”

Chen Qiuxiang did not say anything at all, but Chen Dongxiang spoke a lot. The meaning between the lines was filled with jealousy!

Chen Qiuxiang smiled and said, “That’s right, Third Sister. I also think it’s good to have a rich sister-in-law. She can send over cosmetics, clothes, and bags casually. I can’t even reject her.”

Chen Dongxiang was speechless.

This was blatantly showing off!

“Oh, Third Sister, I heard that your sister-in-law also married into a good family. Didn’t she give you something as a sister-in-law?”

Chen Dongxiang’s expression changed.

It was already good enough that her sister-in-law did not rummage through her things when she returned to her family. She would not dare to hope that her sister-in-law would give something to her!

There was no harm without comparison!

At this moment, Chen Guixiang walked over.

She glanced at her fashionable and beautiful eldest sister.

It was impossible to tell that this eldest sister had been a Grandma for more than ten years.

The four sisters stood together. The eldest sister was the oldest, but she looked the youngest.

...

Why was Big Sister’s life so good?

Why didn’t she marry into a good family?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but look at Brother-in-law, who was standing beside her eldest sister.

Chen Guixiang smiled and said, “Sister, this year, haven’t the eldest son, daughter, and child returned to your parents’ house with you? This year, our entire family came over.”

She had three sons, and all three of them had already gotten married. The third son had just gotten married at the end of last year.

Logically speaking, it was fine if it was the other two sons who came with her, but this third daughter-in-law had just gotten married. It was a little unreasonable not to return let her to her family on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

However, someone wanted her three daughters-in-law to follow her back to her mother-in-law’s house to show her authority as a mother-in-law.

Chen Qiuxiang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression seemed a little stern. She said, “Second Brother, your third daughter-in-law has just married into the family, right? Did she follow you to your maternal family on the second day of the Lunar New Year? Aren’t your third daughter-in-law’s maternal family concerned? As a mother-in-law, have you never thought about your daughter-in-law? Or do you want to play with your prestige as a mother-in-law?”

The third daughter-in-law, who was following behind Chen Guixiang, lowered her head slightly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Chen Guixiang’s expression changed when she heard that.
