Because in their countryside, once the betrothal gift is received, the marriage is considered finalized.
Moreover, the Shui family is very generous. Whether it is Shen Chuliu or Li Jiajia, everyone has a pair of agate bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Although I have never seen the workmanship here, but from a modern perspective , Shen Chuliu knew that these were top quality.
In addition to some other messy things, there are two copies of each thing, so naturally this thing is one for each person. But it is precisely because of this that the trouble comes.
Logically speaking, this pretense should be taken away by her mother's family. Naturally, Shen Xiaofeng doesn't want to give Li Jiajia's share to anyone else. She is only a daughter like Li Jiajia, and she lost her husband early. Now Li Jiajia Once you get married, you will naturally take the money yourself.
But Mrs. Shen Liu didn't think so, because this marriage was introduced by Shen Erdan, and Shen Xiaofeng had to take part of it no matter what.
As for Shen Chuliu's share, it was even more outrageous. Everyone in the family had to get a share, and each had their own reasons. Shen Xiaofeng felt that Shen Chuliu was taking advantage of Li Jiajia, so Naturally, she had a share of the betrothal gift. And Shen Erdan's reasons were similar to Shen Xiaofeng's.
As for Mrs. Shen, there is no need to say more. In this family, she will take all the income.
Suddenly, the whole family fell into an unprecedented conflict. Shen Dabao felt that Shen Chuliu himself was married to Shui Libao, and the money saved might be used by Shen Chuliu in the future, so he was unwilling to spend it. Go and share it with them.
The family ate in silence for several days, until one night three days later, everyone started to have dinner.
Mr. Shen suddenly said, "Since you are not satisfied, let's just separate the family." Originally, the family would quarrel endlessly every day when they were together, but now it's better, they actually stopped talking to each other in order to order the betrothal gift.
As the head of the family, Mr. Shen naturally wanted to speak out.
"Dad, these are all trivial matters, please don't get angry." As the eldest son in the family, Shen Dabao obviously disagreed with the separation of the family.
"I say brother, since it is the old man's decision, we'd better not interfere." As soon as Shen Liu heard Shen Dabao's objection, she immediately stopped her. Shen Liu had already felt that the family should be separated. Now that the whole family is eating the money earned by Shen Erdan alone, Shen Liu naturally feels uncomfortable.
If the family is really separated now, they won't have to pay the old lady every day.
"Old man, do you really want to split up the family?" Old Mrs. Shen was obviously very reluctant. Once the family was divided, she would have to let go of the power she had originally held. Especially when part of the white money had to be divided, she thought Thinking of Mrs. Shen makes me feel distressed.
"If we don't separate the families, are we going to wait until they piss us all to death?" Except for Shen Dabao, the other two children are all thinking about how to get money from Bi Ren, and Mr. Shen knows it very well.
Shen Dabao and Shen Jiashi usually work the most at home, which is much more useful than money. Furthermore, if Shen Dabao hadn't been working in the fields these years, with their old arms and legs and Shen Erdan's three melons, Two dates of fortune-telling money would have starved to death long ago!
