In the room, Xiuxiu's voice suddenly sounded: "As long as you like it, I like it!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Li Wei's face, and he continued to place the set of clothes he chose in front of him to compare.
Her eyes continued to stare at herself in the bronze mirror, but she asked Xiuxiu: "But, I want to hear your advice. Use your eyes to see how I feel wearing this dress!"
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, Xiuxiu shook her head desperately: "In my eyes, you look good in anything you wear! Although you are not as high-ranking and powerful as my uncles, in my eyes, you are better than my uncles." All are handsome, really!"
The uncles Xiu Xiu mentioned were Luo Fengtang, Liu Xueyun, and Ye Yi respectively.
These three people are all handsome and outstanding men.
Regardless of appearance, appearance, ability, status, power, wealth...
When people in the village talk about it, they think of a quick son-in-law, a high-quality man!
Xiuxiu originally thought that praising Li Wei like this would make Li Wei happy, but in the end, Li Wei was not as happy or moved as she thought.
He held her face without any emotion and gave her the same compliment: "You are also the most beautiful wife in my heart."
The fact is that Li Wei said to Xiuxiu without interest: "That's it. I'll change my clothes and go out. You go wait for me outside first, and prepare the gift for home today!"
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still followed Li Wei's instructions, turned around and left the house, and went to the warehouse to prepare gifts.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, Li Qiaoer followed him in.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you get your things." Li Qiaoer said.
Xiu Xiu turned to look at Li Qiao'er, and said with a friendly smile: "No need to help with the things, I just grab two things to suit the situation."
"ah?"
Li Qiaoer couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when she looked at the two snake oil-like gifts that Xiuxiu picked in her hand.
As a daughter returning to her parents’ home, shouldn’t she bring more gifts?
In Li Qiaoer's memory from childhood, Grandma Gongga was still alive at that time. During festivals, her mother would take her and her brother to visit Grandma Gongga. She would start planning what gifts to bring one night in advance.
I bought cigarettes and alcohol for Grandpa, food for Grandma, weighed meat, and fish. When I finally passed through the town, my mother had to use the money she had saved for a long time to pull a piece of fabric to make clothes for Grandma. Ga Gong makes a pair of shoes.
If it weren't for the worry about dad, mom would probably buy more...
Why did everything suddenly change when I arrived at my sister-in-law's place? Is this my daughter's return to her parents' home?
Li Qiaoer seems to be asking her sister-in-law Xiuxiu if she has a bad relationship with her parents?
But then I thought about it, that was impossible.
If the relationship is not good and her parents don't love her, then where does the dowry that fills the storeroom come from?
There are so many things in the wedding room next door. My brother is choosing more than ten sets of new clothes. Even my mother and I have benefited from it and got several sets of new clothes!
Therefore, the biggest reason lies with my sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." Li Qiaoer gently drew small circles on the ground with her toes, her voice was very low and soft.
Xiu Xiu didn't hear clearly at first, so she said, "What did you say?"
Li Qiaoer glanced at Xiuxiu and summoned up the courage to say, "Sister-in-law, I don't think you should spoil my brother so much. He is a man. You have to be kind to yourself and your family..."
Xiu Xiu was stunned when she heard Li Qiao'er's words.
Seeing her like this, Li Qiaoer was a little panicked, "Sister-in-law, did my words make you unhappy? I, I..."
Suddenly, Xiuxiu smiled, freed up a hand and pinched Li Qiaoer's nose.
"Qiao'er, you silly girl, what are you talking about? You are telling the truth. How could I be angry with you?"
"You're not angry? That's good." Li Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiuxiu then said to Li Qiaoer in a serious and thoughtful manner: "Don't worry, your sister-in-law, I am not an unfilial woman. As for going home today, the reason why I chose a few gifts to take back to celebrate the occasion is because they are full of gifts." The things in the warehouse were all prepared for me by my parents."
"No matter how many gifts I bring back, to put it bluntly, they are all borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
"It doesn't mean much to my parents, and my parents' family doesn't lack these."
"For my parents, the best gift they want is that your brother and I are in love as husband and wife. Qiao'er, do you understand?"
This was the longest conversation Li Qiaoer had ever heard her say since she met Xiuxiu, her sister-in-law.
Not to mention, these words seemed to make some sense to my ears!
"Sister-in-law, I admit that what you said makes sense, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that, in my opinion, the true love between a couple should be that both parties tolerate and love each other, right? It's not that one party works hard to serve and please the other party. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Li Qiaoer thought that what he said had been very obvious. He almost pointed at Xiuxiu's nose and said: You can do anything to my brother. Serve him like a master and you like a servant. That's how it is done. The picture does not look very loving, but gives people a very uncomfortable feeling!
But these words were a bit heavy, and Li Qiaoer was afraid that if she said them out, she would hurt her sister-in-law's self-esteem.
However, Xiuxiu looked very indifferent.
She even smiled more cheerfully.
"Don't worry, Qiao'er, sometimes what you see with your eyes is not everything."
"Compared to what your brother has done for me, it's really nothing if I take more care of him."
"It's nothing more than basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. But your brother is different. He is my God. Without him, I will collapse!"
When Xiu Xiu said the next sentence, she suppressed the smile on her face and looked serious.
Li Qiaoer was dumbfounded by this, as if a big drum was placed in his chest, beating loudly, and the muffled sound was heard far and wide.
But after the drum sound dispersed, Li Qiaoer felt confused.
Is my brother that powerful?
What did he do for his sister-in-law? Why does it feel like he hasn't been able to support his sister-in-law?
However, my brother obviously didn’t do anything!
Li Qiaoer was puzzled.
Xiu Xiu obviously didn't want to say anything more.
Because this is a matter between her and Li Wei, some feelings can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. No matter how much you say them, no outsider can understand them.
"Qiao'er, I've made my choice, let's go!" Xiu Xiu greeted Li Qiao'er and walked out of the warehouse with the gift she picked.
When the two sisters returned to the main room, they found Li Weiniang sitting in the main room drinking tea with a smile on her face.
Seeing them coming back, Li Weiniang took the initiative to greet Xiuxiu and said, "Your cousin Dan'er is here."
