Everyone laughed at that.
Mrs. Yang said with delight, "Our in-laws... honestly! Why did they give so much for the dowry? Their family isn't that well-off, and young Yungen is growing up and needs to start saving money."
Her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Wang, shot her a look. "Listen to yourself. Compared to you, they might not seem wealthy, but in our village, they're considered well-off. Their daughter has worked so hard at home all these years; he wouldn't have felt right if he hadn't given a generous dowry. Besides, he cares about his reputation and didn't want the dowry to look too shabby."
As Juhua listened to them laugh and chat, she whispered to Qingmu, "Of all the things in the dowry, I'm most interested in the shoes and clothes that Yunlan made. Brother, how many pairs of shoes do you think she made for you and me?"
