Chapter 70 Being a bride isn't easy

As Yao Shula watched Grandma Yao wrap the small box in a towel and put it back into the trunk, she couldn't help but ask.

"Grandma, you used to come from a wealthy family!"

Grandma Yao put all the clothes she had taken out earlier back into the box before turning around to look at Yao Shula.

"What kind of wealthy family? It's just that my maternal family used to have a few acres of land."

Your aunt and uncle doted on me a little, and gave me a little more when I got married.

Don't go spreading rumors outside!

More than ten years ago, having money was a crime! The poorer you were, the more justified you were. I lived in constant fear during those days.

Now...

It seems like everything is about money again!

"Oh, by the way, Shura, I heard from Xiaochun that you're planning to set up a stall near your house, right?" Grandma Yao asked with a smile.

Yao Shula nodded immediately.

"Yes, I'd like to set up a small stall and do some small business so I can have some spare cash."

Grandma Yao nodded.

"It's a good thing to think that way! Although it seems like we don't lack money now, what if we need it in the future?"

Now that the policy has been relaxed, you can set up a stall if you're allowed to!

It's nothing shameful.

As for a job... take your time looking, there's no rush. I'll also ask your older brothers to keep an eye out for suitable jobs for you.

As for whether he was a temporary worker...

We'll see!

Also, if you're too busy with your stall, remember to come back and let us know.

Your three sisters-in-law... they all seem to have sharp tongues, but they don't actually have any bad intentions. Your eldest aunt is the same.

It's true that she has a bit of a thieving streak, but if you glare at her, that thieving streak will immediately disappear.

Do they have the guts to steal? They do, but not much; a little scare and they'll break free.

You don't need to worry about her gossiping.

"Tell us if anything happens," Grandma Yao continued to nag.

Yao Shula smiled and nodded.

"Grandma, thank you!"

Grandma Yao subconsciously reached out and touched Yao Shula's hair.

It's so hard for a girl not even twenty years old to have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting her family...

"Shura, Grandma wants to tell you that besides the daily meals, if your family needs money for other things, remember to ask your dad for it."

Don't expect him to have a change of heart and give you anything on his own initiative. People like him need someone to whip them from behind.

Of all the children Grandma gave birth to, he was the most heartless!

If you can't bring yourself to ask, just tell Grandma, and she'll go get it for you.

He can't do anything about me!

Yao Shula nodded repeatedly.

Actually, Grandma was a good person; she was very kind to her siblings.

Grandma Yao went on and on, telling Yao Shula to make sure to close the door properly before going to bed at night.

A moment later, he said that if he got too busy with the stall and couldn't take care of the child, he would send Xiaotian to the old house.

"It's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks and a bowl!"

...

Yao Shula spoke earnestly with Grandma Yao for a while.

After she finished talking to Grandma Yao, a burst of firecrackers suddenly went off at the gate of the old house...

It turns out the bride's dowry has arrived...

This is the main event of today's makeup preparation. The bride brought over her dowry from her family, as well as many of her own personal items.

Aunt Yao was busy getting the helpers to move all the things into the new house.

Little Tiantian and the other children playing at Lao Yao's house followed him around, making a ruckus.

Almost every child had sunflower seeds and candy in their pockets.

Everyone kept talking.

Little Tiantian's pockets were full, and she was gnawing on a freshly cut pork hock.

The little guy is very clever; he packed up sunflower seeds and candy to take home and eat slowly.

Now, the food I eat must be something I don't often eat at home, and I must make sure I'm full.

"Why is she called the bride? Why not the old lady?" Yao's eldest grandson asked with a puzzled look.

The group of children looked at each other and then shook their heads.

After finishing the meat-stuffed pig's trotters from the hand warmer, Xiao Tiantian, who was already very familiar with everyone, wiped her hands with the handkerchief pinned to her chest before slowly and deliberately expressing her opinion.

"I know that!"

As Shura once said, on the wedding day she's the bride, but after the wedding she's the mother.

If the groom is easygoing, he will treat the bride like his own mother.

If the groom is a troublemaker, the bride will worry about him just like his mother.

"Anyway, they're all Mom! Don't you agree?" Little Tiantian looked at everyone.

The other children seemed to understand, but not quite, what did they mean by "girly" or "feminine"...

"Then why are all the brides' sisters accompanying them?"

That's how it is in my cousin's family. Before my cousin got married, many of her sisters accompanied her.

"Why aren't her mothers with her?" another child continued to ask.

Everyone looked at Xiaotian again.

Little Tiantian really thought about it seriously.

"I think... I know, those older sisters aren't married yet, right? They have no idea how tiring it is to be married."

She has to do laundry, cook, raise children, and fight with her mother-in-law.

If the mothers were to accompany the bride, they would definitely say that married life is going to be tough.

In that case, the bride definitely wouldn't want to get married!

"You said you'd have so much work to do after you get married, and you wouldn't be able to do whatever you want. Will you still get married?" Xiao Tiantian asked seriously.

Almost all the children shook their heads violently.

They don't want to get married. There are so many things to do when it comes to marriage, and they don't want that!

They still want to play!

"Then...why does the bride bring so many quilts as part of her dowry?" another child asked in a low voice.

"That's... for covering your head and crying when you want to!"

"The more blankets you have, the thicker they are, the less people will hear the bride crying!" Xiao Tiantian immediately said.

Everyone in the courtyard...

Grandma Yao also glanced at Yao Shula.

"Did you teach Tiantian all of this?"

Yao Shula gave two dry laughs.

"How could that be?"

The truth is that she only casually mentioned the first question, and that was just something she made up when Yao Shuli asked her.

Who knew that this kid actually remembered them all.

The other two questions... Yao Shula swears, she really didn't say them!

"Tian Tian is such a clever kid! Shura, whose child is this anyway!"

"If you raise her well, she'll definitely amount to something!" Grandma Yao asserted.

Yao Shula continued to laugh dryly twice.

Little Tiantian... even without much training, with her family background, she's bound to be successful in the future!

Is the current Xiao Tiantian still the Xiao Tiantian in Secretary Lei's eyes?
