Hu Xiufang exclaimed in shock, "A dowry of more than a hundred bucks? Oh my God! That's enough to marry four women like my sister-in-law."
Pfft!
Li Qiao couldn't hold back her laughter until she cried.
Hu Xiufang said, "Seriously, my brother's wedding only cost about twenty bucks, and my sister-in-law even brought that money back, along with many dowry items. My mom said we are running out of money because of my education, and that I must get into a university and earn my own dowry, or else I'm doomed to be single forever." Her tone then shifted, "Is your stepmother asking for dowry money to save up for Li Jinhua's marriage? A hundred bucks, that's enough to buy a whole set of good furniture, probably with some to spare."
With such a dowry, one could boast enough face for both the bride's and groom's families.
Old fox.
Li Qiao fell silent; it wasn't that she had never considered this.
Now hearing it from someone else was just confirming her suspicions. "Let her be."
