Chapter 152: Professor Qu has high expectations of you!
"Second brother, I always knew you and our eldest brother loved me the most." Si Xiaohui couldn’t contain her elation, she knew her brothers wouldn’t ask her to earn her keep, but a dowry was something she hadn’t even dared to dream of.
In the countryside, a daughter’s wedding without asking for a dowry was already a sign of understanding parents, let alone a dowry.
Further more, some traditional parents prioritise sons over daughters, even going to the extent of exchanging their daughters’ marriages for their sons. The conditions in their home, with parents in good health, were quite different. It was already kind of her two brothers not to ask for her salary, there was no way she could be presumptuous enough to expect a dowry!
The concept of a dowry didn’t even exist in Si Xiaohui’s thinking. Hearing it now from her second brother felt like she had been struck square in the face with a giant pancake.
Leaving aside whether this promise could be fulfilled, the mere fact her second brother mentioned it, showed her that her two brothers loved her the most.
Si Boyi regains his senses from the excitement of planning their future home and chuckles, "Don’t get your hopes too high. Only if your elder brother and I become successful can we afford a dowry. If we don’t, we will have trouble sustaining ourselves, let alone providing a dowry. We don’t yet know how our futures will shape up."
Si Xiaohui pouts, "I don’t know how you will fare, but I know Elder Brother will definitely do well."
It’s always like this. Initially, she hadn’t even thought about it, but now that it has been promised she can’t help but keep thinking about it. Imagine how much face it would give her if her two brothers really provide a dowry!
"Obviously." Si Boyi doesn’t take offense at Si Xiaohui’s words. The elder brother is indeed more capable than he is and he is happy for his elder brother’s success.
The elder brother always thinks of them, intending to share his prosperity with them. Isn’t that why he brought them to the city?
