459 Not afraid of being struck by lightning

Ye Taoyao just listened and didn't speak.

Ye Zijin continued to complain angrily, "Not to mention that those clothes are made according to your size, just this is Jiang Zhen's wish, Ye Mingzhu can't wear them either. It's really ignorant. Grandma kept saying that you had too many clothes and it would be a waste to put them there. The angry mother couldn't say a word. The most speechless thing was talking about jewelry..."

She paused, relieved her emotions, and then continued, "Grandma insisted that the betrothal gift given by the man did not have the reason to get all the dowry. She always had to choose some to stay at her parents' home and fill in something else, otherwise it would make the man lose face. I wondered, isn't the richer the dowry, the better? How stupid a man should be to dislike the more dowry the woman brought?"

"Sister, you can't be angry with them for this. Didn't we know what they look like long ago?" Ye Taoyao advised.

Ye Zijin pinched her eyebrows, "I don't want to be angry either, but this time they did too much. I didn't do this when I married Han Haoyu. They didn't care about the betrothal gift Lu Xiwen gave to Jingshu. When you come to you, you can't hold back. I'm so embarrassed for them. We are short of their food and drink? Such an old man, what's the use of asking for these external things?"

"Give it to my second uncle's family." Ye Taoyao said calmly, "In their eyes, we are all outsiders, and only our grandsons are the Ye family. Of course, valuable things must be left to Ye Zongbao and Ye Zongzhao."

"I think beautifully!" Ye Zijin reminded, "Yaoyao, when you go back later, no matter what they say, don't be rude. You should keep everything Jiang Zhen gave you, don't let the Jiang family look down on it."

"Well, don't worry."

...

In the living room of Yuquan Bay, except Ye Zijin, everyone was there. They had been arguing about the betrothal gift for a long time. Ye Jingshu said, "Wait until Yaoyao comes back, let's see how she decides." Everyone remained silent.

After Ye Taoyao entered the door, he just shouted "Dad, Mom", then sat down and said straight to the point, "I'm back, tell me, how to deal with the betrothal gift given by the Jiang family."

Her tone was faint, and she could not hear any other emotions. She looked at Ye Dean and Old Mrs. Zhou in a cold look.

"Yaoyao, you don't have to ask others about this. Just decide for yourself. No one is qualified to make trouble." Ye Jihong has been holding it back until now, and he has not given face to both old people.

Luo Jiahe was also a little willing to do so at this time and agreed with her husband, "Your father is right. It's a new society long ago. There's no reason and you have to let the elders suppress you and make your own decisions."

Ye Jingshu didn't speak.

Ye Taoyao smiled a little, "Dad, mom, I understand, don't worry."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, don't think too much. No one cares about the betrothal gifts. I'm asking you to come back. I'm discussing it with you. After all, you are still young and you don't know some customs and rules about marriage. You must mention you a few words, and breast milk is also a kind heart."

Ye Taoyao pulled the corner of his lips, "Okay, what do you want to mention me?"

Mrs. Zhou was warned by Ye De'an before, asking her to pay attention to the methods and methods of speaking, especially in terms of attitude, to move with emotion and reason. So, she thought of the words last night. At this moment, even her expression seemed to have been deliberately practiced, kind and earnest, "Yaoyao, the rules in our hometown are like this. No matter what the betrothal gifts the man gave are, they don't have the truth to carry them back. Generally, they are picking up some of them and keeping them on the woman. The woman adds some more in it. This is the best way to build two families. This is not made up by me. The rules passed down by my ancestors. If you don't believe me, just ask someone if you want to ask me, is it like this?"

Old Mrs. Zhou said it was correct, and this custom is still the same in many places.

Ye Taoyao nodded and signaled her to continue.

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled, "We are not going to interfere with you. You can keep whatever you want. If you keep more, we will also make up for you. We will never let you suffer any losses. Of course, this value may be different, but since ancient times, it is a rule that has been less dowry than betrothal gifts. It is not easy to suppress the man, right? Do you think so?"

"Mom!" Ye Jihong was afraid that his daughter would be shaken, so he couldn't help but shout, "Don't always use these rules to suppress Yaoyao. What era is this? Who cares about these?"

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to show her face to Ye Taoyao, but she didn't have much burden to her eldest son, so she immediately lowered her face, "Why no one cares about it? Our Ye family is more particular, and the family like the Jiang family is more particular. Not to mention far away, did your sister get married and brought all the betrothal gifts given by the Meng family to her in-laws? You should know more than anyone else. The Meng family gave your elder sister 500 yuan, but I only gave her 300 yuan. The remaining 200 yuan was given to you as tuition fees, and you forgot it?"

Ye Jihong's face changed.

Old Mrs. Zhou snorted, feeling confident, and continued, "Your little sister was engaged some time ago. The betrothal gift given by the Feng family. That night, your sister divided the second brother's family with a part. If you don't believe me, ask your third brother. He was there at that time and didn't have time to leave. There is also Zijin. When Zijin got married, he didn't send all the betrothal gifts to marry, right? I remember that at that time, the Han family gave him 60 million, and there were some jewelry and a property. Didn't you keep some?"

Ye Jihong said with a ugly expression, "Yes, I kept it, but I also used the same price to supplement the dowry. The Han family did not suffer any losses. But if you keep a part of the gifts from Ah Zhen, I can't even add one. How can you keep me? Isn't that the advantage of the Jiang family? Hong Jianeng has taken advantage of Ah Zhen today, and I have taken up all the gifts. I'm afraid of being struck by lightning."

"Who are you scolding?" Old Mrs. Zhou stopped and pointed at Ye Jihong and howled, "God, open your eyes and see, this is my good son. I'm cursing that I was struck by lightning. Let me die now..."

Ye Jihong's face turned pale and his whole body was even trembling with anger.

Ye Taoyao hurriedly sat over and helped him carry it. "Dad, calm down, are you not used to it these years?"

"Yaoyao, dad is really..." Ye Jihong couldn't say too bad things, but he felt frustrated and angry when he was hurt by his biological mother.

"I understand, Dad, don't worry, don't be serious, it's not worth it. Let's see if the three of us sisters are not good," Ye Taoyao persuaded softly.

Ye Jihong finally calmed down.

Ye Dean finally spoke at this time, "Okay, why are you sobbing in the day of great joy?"

Old Mrs. Zhou has always been thunder and rainy. When she was scolded, she immediately disappeared, and she was so relaxed.
