Chapter 749
Second Sister-in-law Han finally couldn’t help it anymore, “I know that it’s our family’s Youngest Aunt getting married, but those who don’t know about it might think that some sort of rich city girl is getting wedded off. She’s already getting the 3 Wheels, 1 Sound treatment(1), so why is there a need to buy a sewing machine? Where are we supposed to get one? Even if Old Three can manage to muster it up, wouldn’t we have to wait for another 2 years or so? That’s worth more than 150 Yuan.”
(T/N: Traditionally, being gifted the 3W1S is the peak of marriage dowries. These items consist of a watch, a bicycle, a sewing machine and a radio. The name derives from the 3 objects being some sort of wheel whereas the radio produces sound)
As she said that, she looked at Lin Lan and said, “Sigh, or our Third Sister-in-Law here wouldn’t be as open to giving out the sewing machine at home, would she?”
Although everyone knew what the old lady was planning, Lin Lan was no fool.
Lin Lan said lightly, “Of course that’s impossible. Even if I intend for it to be dowry, it will only be my daughter’s.”
“You!” Han Jinyu in the room was so angry that she slapped her hand on the window sill, which hurt her fingers.
Old Lady Han was also enraged to the point of her raising her eyebrows. Unfortunately, she could only hold back because if she offended Lin Lan, the Third Family might not even contribute a single cent.
She said angrily, “Then replace the sewing machine with a mirror cabinet, a thermos, a white porcelain basin and a teapot.”
Lin Lan didn’t care. The thermos and teapot were in the old lady’s house, so she could just handle those. At any rate, Lin Lan was not going to contribute. As for the mirror cabinet? She could dream on. How could her newly acquired possessions be used as a dowry for Han Jinyu?
