Chapter 548 Dowry
During dinner, Bai Xiao sat beside An Zhiyuan, silent and seemingly in low spirits.
Old Wang and the old lady took their meals to their own room to eat. Currently, with the three brothers squeezing into one room, they freed up a room for the elderly couple. The old lady comforted them with a smile, "Don’t move, all of you. We’re old and eating is not that complicated for us, a little will do. Besides, we have to watch Tangyuan to stop her from making a fuss and spoiling your meal. You just go ahead and eat, enjoy your meal. It’s not easy for the whole family to gather together like this."
Everyone understood that the grandparents didn’t want to impose on them, and sure enough, with the old couple out of the way, they could let their hair down.
The men had white liquor in their cups while the women had Jianlibao. It seemed like even the last New Year didn’t see this many people. This year, it looked like An Zhiyuan had been added to the count.
As soon as the meal started, Bai Yue couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Xiao is already married to An Zhiyuan, but without having a wedding, I feel I’m letting my sister down. Not personally sending her off in the bridal car, I feel I’m failing our parents. So this time, Xiao, you have to listen to your sister. We’ll have another bustling wedding, and I have already prepared your dowry."
This was not up for discussion; she was prepared to be adamant about it.
"Xiao, big sister is right. Since we’re all here, we should throw a big celebration," Bai Ju also expressed her excitement. They had arrived just in time and that very day they had been to see big sister’s restaurant, only then realizing how successful she had become—it was one of the most famous restaurants in the provincial city. Just seeing how bustling it was indicated how well her sister’s business was doing.
Seeing the family doing better and better, Bai Ju felt happy, too, so much so that she had even forgotten the slight upset of both her and her husband being laid off.
