Chapter 454 - 438: In-laws
"You’ve raised such an outstanding child for our family to become our daughter-in-law; we’re the ones who’ve gained the greater advantage no matter how you look at it. You haven’t even put forth any demands, which already makes us quite embarrassed. How could we possibly complain about the amount of your dowry?"
Xia Na was momentarily taken aback, but still, she felt very satisfied in her heart to have met in-laws who weren’t greedy for money. Her smile became even more sincere, "Mother-in-law, father-in-law, we won’t hide anything from you, let me give you an insight. Gu Feng’s father and I also have only two sons, and we have always been keen on fairness.
Whether it’s the wedding dowry or future inheritance, it’s not going to happen that because Gu Feng is the elder son, he will get more of the family wealth, or that we favor the younger son and leave him more. Thus, what we’ll give to Xiaoman will be the same as what we gave to the younger daughter-in-law back then.
We only have two children, and naturally, we hope that the two brothers will always be united and supportive of each other. This is also to avoid any imbalance in their hearts over who got more or less in the future, turning close brothers into feuding enemies. Would you agree that’s the right principle?"
"Exactly. Harmony brings wealth to all endeavors. Only when the elders are fair and impartial will the children naturally be close to each other, and the family business can flourish even more." Ye’s mother nodded repeatedly, showing great agreement with Xia Na’s words.
A consensus like this naturally brought joy to everyone involved.
The two families discussed the marriage of the young couple for a bit, and then they agreed on a time for a visit the next day. Before leaving, Xia Na took Ye Man’s hand, "Xiaoman, you rest well at home for a while. Don’t worry, if Gu Feng bullies you again, we’ll team up to deal with him, and make sure he won’t dare to misbehave."
Ye Man’s face turned pale, mistakenly thinking that Xia Na meant for her to give up her current job. She couldn’t help but look a little downcast and tentatively said, "Director Xia, I don’t need to rest."
