Chapter 1387 Lazy Wife 4
Linlang said, "What's there to be afraid of? If they don't give it to me, I'll just take my mother's bicycle and radio. Even though they're second-hand, they should be worth some money. I just want you to go over and help me out."

After all, her martial arts skills are not yet well-trained, and she is afraid that she cannot defeat those people.

Chen Lei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Okay, let's go together."

He didn't say that by doing this, his father-in-law and mother-in-law might be unhappy, and then a bad reputation would be spread about him. Chen Lei, like Linlang, was not afraid of others saying bad things about him.

So the next morning, Chen Lei told his father and mother that he wanted to go to Linlang's mother's home.

Naturally, Chen's father and mother were unwilling to do so. They said, "It's the spring ploughing season and the family is very busy. What are you going to do at your in-laws' house? Are you trying to be lazy again?"

Chen Lei couldn't say this, so Linlang said quickly: "I want to go home and ask my parents for my dowry. I heard that my parents gave my sister 200 yuan as a dowry when she got married last year. When I got married before, I had nothing except quilts and other things. This is definitely not okay, so I want to go home and get the 200 yuan dowry back."

I heard that Linlang was planning to go back to her parents' home to ask for a dowry. Although the money would not be given to them, it would be for their Chen family after all. So Chen's father and mother naturally agreed with both hands and feet. They immediately gave them leave and let them go home to ask for the money.

Chen's father and mother were happy for them to ask for money, but Chen's wife and others were not. After all, the money the third brother's family got would not be shared with them at all. It would only make the third brother's family wealthier and more than theirs. How could they be happy about that?

Chen Ersao was particularly unhappy because she had felt very proud of having given birth to three sons.

But when she thought about the fact that her family had no private money and they didn't even have money to buy snacks for the children when they went to the city, and if the third brother's family really got 200 yuan from his wife's family, then they would have 500 yuan, so much money that they could never spend it all, how could she feel balanced?

But since Chen's father and mother agreed, they couldn't object. They could only slack off to avoid doing too much and suffering a big loss - see, this is the disadvantage of the big pot meal. They can't bear to see others having an idle time. When they see others having an idle time, they also want to have an idle time and don't want to work. In this way, it would be strange for the family to become prosperous. After all, money doesn't fall from the sky.

At that moment, Chen Lei asked his father and mother to look after their children - he was going to ask for money, and there might be a quarrel. It was obviously inconvenient to bring two children with him, lest the quarrel scare them. Chen Lei was not worried that his parents would treat his children badly when they were not at home. He was a bit lawless, and the old couple did not dare to do anything to his children - then he went to Zhao's house with Linlang.

Seeing Linlang and his wife coming back at such an unusual time of year, Zhao's father and mother were surprised and asked, "Why are you here? Your family must be very busy at this time of year, right? Do you have time to run around?"

Linlang was polite first and then aggressive. She started by talking nicely and then said, "I came back today to get my 200 yuan dowry."

When Zhao's father heard Linlang say this, he was stunned, and then he became angry and asked, "Where did the two hundred yuan dowry come from?! Are you crazy?"

Linlang reasoned with him, saying, "When my sister got married last year, you gave her 200 yuan as a dowry. How come when I got married four or five years ago, you gave me nothing except clothes and quilts? We are all daughters, so of course I also want 200 yuan as a dowry."

When Zhao's father heard Linlang mention this, he was furious and said, "How can this be possible? No, I didn't give your sister 200 yuan as a dowry."

Linlang sneered and said, "You're still lying. The news has spread outside a long time ago. When my parents-in-law heard about it, they were unhappy and said that our family is biased." But at that time they only gave the original body a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, which was also biased, so they didn't dare to keep harping on it.

In fact, Zhao's father and mother also knew that if the two daughters gave different dowries, there would be conflicts, so they gave it secretly and asked Zhao Xiaomei not to tell anyone, and they didn't even tell their son and daughter-in-law at home, because they were afraid that they would be unhappy that they gave their daughters so much dowry.

However, they do not understand human nature.

Zhao Xiaomei naturally wouldn't tell anyone after she took the money, but this was limited to not telling outsiders. She would definitely tell her husband and parents-in-law to show that her family treated her well, and that she had her own private money and was confident.

When her parents-in-law found out about it, they would not hide it. Not only would they not hide it, they would even brag about it. After all, it was an honorable thing for their daughter-in-law to come with such a large dowry.

They boasted to others that their son was very capable and that not only did he not spend any money to marry his wife, but his wife's family even gave him a dowry of 200 yuan.

This kind of bragging is very normal, whether now or in the future, many families, if they get married and make money, like to brag about it outside and show off to let others know how capable their sons are and how many women are willing to pay for them.

Well, once Zhao Xiaomei's husband's family spread the news, it quickly spread from the town to the village. Zhao's two sons and daughters-in-law were unhappy when they heard it. After all, two hundred yuan was a lot of money, and their daughter was given to a family with a different surname. Who could be happy?

Nowadays, if the man's family gives a betrothal gift but the woman's family refuses to accept it and lets their daughter take the bride away, they are considered a fair family. But someone else, who not only refuses to accept a betrothal gift but also gives 200 yuan as a dowry, is a fool? Of course the two sons and daughter-in-law are unhappy.

You should know that when the Zhao family's sons got married, Zhao's father and mother only gave a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. When it came to their daughter's turn, they actually gave a two hundred yuan dowry. Who could accept this? Later, Zhao's father and mother saw that their two sons and daughters-in-law had gloomy faces all day long, and they couldn't stand it anymore, so they gave each of their two sons a hundred yuan, and the matter was finally suppressed.

Zhao's father and mother were already in a state of panic. Now Linlang even came to ask them to supplement the dowry, so they were naturally furious. So when Zhao's father saw that Linlang really knew and could not hide it any longer, he could only say, "Your sister is marrying a worker in the town, so of course she has to give a dowry. Otherwise, if she leaves with nothing, how will others look at her?"

The original person lived in the suburbs of the provincial capital. Although it had just started the reform and opening up, it was the provincial capital after all, so there were state-owned factories in the town. The original person's sister was lucky and married a worker in a state-owned factory, which made Zhao's father and mother proud. After all, no one in their family had ever married someone with a job, so they especially supported the original person's sister's family.

The original couple's family was poor, so they were never very kind to them.

After hearing what Zhao's father said, Linlang said, "Oh, what you mean is that you look down on me and Chen Lei, and despise our family because we are poor, so you don't even give us a dowry. Do you dare to say this in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Of course Zhao's father didn't dare to do so. If he dared to despise the Chen family, Chen's father would bring his three sons, four brothers, and the sons of his brothers' families to the door and smash the Zhao family to pieces.

Zhao's father has only one older brother, who has only one son, and he also has only two sons. If a fight breaks out, they won't be able to defeat the Chen family.

So Father Zhao could only say, "That's my money. I can give it to whoever I want."
