When Zhao Huaishan heard this, he didn’t know what to say.
There were millions of people in this world, and there were also many kinds of parents.
Most people cared about their children, but many people siphoned off their children like parasites.
It could only be said that Li Shun and the Li family were incompatible!
“I heard of a saying in the past! When children come to be reincarnated, some come to take revenge, and some come to repay kindness. Perhaps you owed them in your previous life!” Zhao Long said.
“No matter what, I think I’ve already repaid them a lot, so I don’t have to repay any kindness anymore in the future! From now on, I just have to treat my own family well!” Li Shun said.
Disappointment accumulated over time.
Disappointment accumulated time and time again until one’s emotions erupted and hope was gone forever.
This was Li Shun’s mental journey.
At this moment, he was already indifferent.
He wouldn’t be hurt if he no longer had any expectations for his parents. Now, the Li family were just people he knew.
“It’s good that you can think it through. Live your own life in the future!” What else could Zhao Huaishan say? He could only comfort Li Shun like this.
In the next few days, Li Xiaoran handed the shop to Zi Yang to manage. Li
Xiaoqing was in charge of cooking the knife-cut noodles for the noodle shop.
When Zhao Sisi heard her mother’s words that night, she immediately expressed that she was willing to learn how to make knife-cut noodles from Li Xiaoqing.
After Jin Xiaojing and Zhao Long discussed it, they felt that since Zhao Sisi was willing to learn and Xiaoran was willing to teach, they should agree!
Firstly, it was beneficial to their daughter, and secondly, they were unwilling to let Xiaoran down.
Therefore, the next day, Zhao Sisi followed Li Xiaoqing to the shop and started learning.
It just so happened that the two little girls could help each other out.
The others began to list Li Xiaoran’s dowry.
Li Shun’s expensive wood furniture had already been laid out in the new house, so they only needed to list it on the dowry list.
Other than that, Li Shun couldn’t take out anything else for dowry.
The Zhao family was also prepared. This time, they sent pillows, blankets, and covers.
There were a total of sixteen sets of cotton wadding. The corresponding mattresses, sheets, covers, and pillows all matched.
In addition, Zhao Huaishan and Xu Xiufang, as grandparents, gave 50 taels of silver to Li Xiaoran. Zhao Long and Zhao Liang each gave 20 taels of silver. After Li Shun and Zhao Xiu discussed it, they took out a hundred taels of silver.
Just like that, Li Xiaoran had 290 taels of silver for dowry.
This money wasn’t to be underestimated. To some farmers, this was money that would take many years to accumulate.
Li Xiaoran originally didn’t want to accept it, but after some thought, she accepted it.
These were all tokens of appreciation from her family, so she had to accept them.
As for the money, she could just find some excuses to return it to them in the future.
He Hui and Guan Dongshan also sent ten taels of silver over.
Just as everyone was discussing how to carry the load, Old Madam Jin led a group of people to Li Shun’s house with a large dowry.
“Grandmother Jin, why are you here?” When Li Xiaoran saw that Old Madam Jin was here, she quickly welcomed her.
“I guessed that you must be preparing your dowry now! My granddaughter is getting married, so I naturally have to prepare dowry!” As Old Madam Jin spoke, she waved her hand and asked the servants to bring in the prepared dowry.
Many things were carried in one after another and almost the entire courtyard was filled.
Old Madam Jin took out the dowry list and handed it to Li Xiaoran.
“I know you don’t covet my money, so you’ve never reached out to ask me for anything, but I really treat you as my biological granddaughter, so don’t refuse. Remember, I’ll have to rely on you to take care of me in the future!”
“Pfft! Grandma Jin, what are you talking about?! You’ll definitely live to a ripe old age. Even if you don’t give me a dowry, I’ll support you until you’re old!” Li Xiaoran quickly said.
“Yes, yes, yes. I was just running my mouth off! How about it? Accept this dowry,” Old Madam Jin said with a smile.
“I’ll accept it! You’ve come all the way here, so how can I not accept it?” Li Xiaoran knew that Old Madam Jin had good intentions, so she took the dowry list.
Old Madam Jin also knew that Li Xiaoran’s family was busy, so after sending the dowry over, she counted it according to the dowry list and after confirming that there were no problems, she left with her people.
“Grandmother Jin, aren’t you going to stay for dinner today?” Li Xiaoran sent Old Madam Jin to the door as she asked her to stay.
“No, your relatives and friends will feel uncomfortable if I’m at your house. After you marry into the Luo family, I’ll go and stay for a few days. Didn’t you prepare a room for me in the Luo family’s home? When the time comes, you can’t turn me down! ” Old Madam Jin teased.
“Grandmother Jin, what are you saying?! I have a room for you at home, so you can stay as long as you want at any time.!” Li Xiaoran said seriously.
Old Madam Jin patted Li Xiaoran’s hand with a smile.
“I was waiting for you to say that! Go back and rest well. You’re getting married in a few days!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s teasing tone, she immediately blushed.
After she returned to the lobby, her family surrounded her.
“Xiaoran, aren’t these too expensive?!” Zhao Xiu said worriedly.
As the saying went, gifts and favors were reciprocal!
After receiving something, they had to return the favor in the future. As a mother, Zhao Xiu still didn’t want her daughter to bear such a heavy burden.
Li Xiaoran sensed Zhao Xiu’s worry and smiled.
“Mother, it’s fine! Grandma Jin really likes me and hopes that I can support her in the future, so you don’t have to worry. I really treat her as my grandmother!” Seeing that her daughter knew what to do, Zhao Xiu didn’t say anything else.
“Son-in-law, go find my grandson-in-law and send someone to guard these things! These things are too eye-catching!” Zhao Huaishan reminded when he saw so many things in the courtyard.
When Li Shun saw so many villagers gathered outside the door to watch, he immediately understood.
“Alright, I’ll go find Luo Cheng!”
After Luo Cheng received the news and saw his father-in-law, he immediately understood something.
As expected, after Li Shun explained his intentions, Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Father, don’t worry.. Go back first! I’ll send someone to watch secretly! We can also use this chance to see what kind of monsters are in the village!”
