1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 327 How did they manage to let them in?

The An family warmly welcomed them out, and the person who had been blocking the door foregot his duties when he saw the jeep coming to pick up the bride.

Once the groom was inside, the others slapped their foreheads and exclaimed, "Oh dear, why did we let him in?"

Upon hearing this, the guests gathered in the courtyard burst into laughter: "Xiao Jun, you're getting a little too excited to see your brother-in-law. It seems you're quite satisfied with him, right?"

An Jia's younger brother scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I was just too fascinated by the Jeep."

Guo Mingyue, the second sister-in-law of the An family, smiled and said, "My family really likes Shao Cheng as our brother-in-law. All those formalities are just formalities. As long as Shao Cheng treats my Xiao Jing well in the future, that's more important than anything else. Don't you all agree?"

Everyone in the courtyard laughed: "Yes, your Xiaojing is a lucky girl."

After the wedding party was brought into the house and the two sides met, the wedding party was led to the next room. Not long after they entered the room, someone brought in four cold dishes, and after drinking three cups of wine with them, dumplings were brought in.

These days, no one has it easy, and the An family's arrangements were top-notch. The young men who came to pick up the bride were very happy with the meal.

The An family has three sons and one daughter. An Xiaojing has two older brothers and one younger brother. Both of her older brothers are already married, and her younger brother, An Xiaojun, is in junior high school. Although An's father is somewhat sexist, An's mother is the one who makes the decisions at home. In addition, An Xiaojing is the only girl in the family, so she is doing quite well in the An family.

An's father worked in the farm's production materials department, her eldest brother was a bulldozer operator on the farm, her second brother worked in the farm's warehouse, and her second sister-in-law worked in the farm's canteen. The family's financial situation was considered above average on the farm. With An's mother, who doted on her daughter, the dowry was quite generous compared to that of ordinary families.

Not long after the relatives put down their chopsticks, the bride's family began carrying out the dowry: a dressing table with a mirror, which was quite a large item.

Next came two quilts, a jacquard blanket, and a towel blanket; there was also a new set of clothes for each season, plus a pair of small leather shoes and a pair of leather sandals; finally, a thermos and two red double happiness enamel basins were brought out, which contained a mirror, a comb, a soap dish, soap, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.

Many of the onlookers whispered among themselves, "The An family is really generous; they've probably spent all the betrothal gifts from the Qiu family." "You all know that Xiaojing's mother dotes on her daughter the most."

"A while ago, Xiaojing's mother had a fight with her husband."

"What's the matter?"

“An Jixiang didn’t want to give Xiaojing so much dowry, thinking that there was still a younger brother named Xiaojun in the family. But Xiaojing’s mother wouldn’t listen to him at all. She said that she would still need her daughter to help with the housework when she got old. Besides, a dowry is a woman’s confidence. She didn’t want her husband’s family to look down on her. They disagreed and almost had a fight.”

"What then?"

"Speaking of which, Xiaojing's mother is quite lucky. Both of her daughters-in-law are good and have sided with her. Xiaojing's two brothers have no objections to their wives, so naturally they don't dare to object either."

"No matter how unwilling An Jixiang was, he had no choice but to agree."

Just then, an untimely voice came in: "Instead of using this money to prepare a dowry for a little girl, it would be better to lend it to my family so that my Dajiang and Dahe can get wives."

"Fan Yunxiang, today is Xiaojing's big day. How can you, as her second aunt, say such unpleasant things?"

"Am I wrong? A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; no matter how good you are to her, she's still someone else's family."
