Chapter 1494: Dowry Additions

After the meal, the brothers each brought out the dowry additions they had prepared for their sister.

The eldest, Fu Yanming and his wife, prepared two jacquard blankets; the second, Fu Yanwei and his wife, gave a pair of double bed sheets. Compared to the eldest brother's household's dowry additions, these were indeed somewhat lacking, but the quality and patterns were very good.

The third, Fu Yanhong and his wife, gave a five-drawer cabinet; this was something Fu Yanhong had personally selected after asking Xiao Wan what was still missing from her wedding room.

Finally, there were Fu Yan Cheng and his group; besides a rice cooker, there was also a double towel blanket.

At present, single towel blankets were far more common; this double one had been encountered by chance, and the color happened to be festive. Thinking of how kind her sister-in-law had been to her, Liu Chuxue was very generous.

Seeing the dowry additions her brothers had given, Fu Yanwan's eyes turned red: "Thank you, brothers and sisters-in-law."

Hao Hongyan spoke quite reasonably at this moment: "Xiao Wan, your second brother just returned to Huicheng, I have no job, and we have very little savings. This pair of double bed sheets was brought back from Haishi by someone we asked; please, do not dislike it."

Fu Yanwan smiled as she looked at Hao Hongyan: "What is Sister-in-law saying? I like these bed sheets very much. No matter what is given, it is the heartfelt intention of my brothers and sisters-in-law. I am grateful beyond words; how could I dislike it?

Besides, taking out any one of these things, wouldn't others envy me? I like them very much."

Yet as she spoke, tears welled in her eyes: "Xiao Wan thanks Mom and Dad, and thanks my brothers and sisters-in-law for everything they have done for me."

Thinking that she would be getting married tomorrow, she actually bowed deeply to everyone.

Fu Yan's mother, who was closest, immediately supported her daughter: "Xiao Wan, what are you doing?"

Fu Yanwan struggled to hold back her tears: "I just wanted to thank everyone for your care for me all this time. Tomorrow I leave home, and I am somewhat reluctant to part."

Fu Yan's mother embraced her daughter: "Even after you are married, you are still a member of this family. We are all your backing. Do you remember?"

Fu Yan could no longer hold back; her tears silently fell: "Okay."

Except for Fu Yanhong's family, who lived far away and stayed over for the night, the other families returned to their own homes.

Liu Chuxue, the pregnant woman, did not appear at the Fu courtyard the next morning; it had been agreed the night before that after Xiao Wan left home, she would be taken directly to the wedding banquet.

After all, she was pregnant; if anything happened to offend or clash, it would be terrible.

Liu Chuxue slept straight until the sun was high; when she got up, she found breakfast warming on the stove outside.

Just as she was preparing to wash and eat, she heard commotion outside the door: "Who is it?"

The voice of her cousin, Du Juan, came from outside: "Cousin, it's me. Your cousin husband asked me to come keep you company."

Liu Chuxue opened the main door: "Did you take leave today?"

Du Juan waved her hand with a smile: "No. Your cousin husband told me a few days ago; I adjusted my shifts in advance."

She did not expect Fu Yan Cheng to have thought of even this; her heart felt very comforted.

Thinking that her sister-in-law was already married, Liu Chuxue urged her cousin about her own marriage: "How is your relationship going? Have you said when it will be settled?"

Du Juan did not expect her cousin to ask directly about this and said somewhat shyly: "He mentioned it once. He said his family is preparing the wedding room and asked me to ask my cousin-in-law when the two families could meet."

A smile spread across Liu Chuxue's features: "This is good news. If not, just arrange it for the weekend. At that time, your cousin husband and I will also go to help you hold up the occasion."

Hearing this, how could Du Juan disagree: "Alright. This afternoon I will tell my cousin-in-law first; when I see him later, I will set the time with him."
