Chapter 1104 Comparing the Dowry

Qiao Dongliang was weakest while Zhu Chengqi and Zhai Sheng were on par with each other. All of a sudden, the atmosphere turned a little stiff.

Fortunately, the money spent on the emcee was well worth it. Seeing that the situation was not quite right, the emcee smiled and reminded everyone about the next steps.

The groom had given a lot of red packets and gone through trials and tribulations. Naturally, the final stage was to carry his beautiful bride home.

“Right, fetch the bride home. We are looking forward to the banquet.”

The distance between the house of the Zhu family and the Zhai family was so short that they did not even need to use a fleet of cars.

However, to go through the motion as part of the ceremony, the bridal car still drove out from the main entrance of the Zhu family, out of the courtyard, and did a turn before going to the house of the Zhai family in the quad.

Many people were in awe at the sight of the bridal car.

Putting other things aside, this fleet of bridal cars was extremely upscale.

If a woman had such a wedding, she had not wasted her life.

Besides the fleet of bridal cars that were the envy of many, the dowry that did not seem to cost money was shifted to the house of the Zhai family prior, like ants moving house. That was also a sight of envy for many people.

“Tsk. Is the Qiao family so rich? They prepared so many dowries for Nan Nan?”

“Did Old Qiao win the lottery?”

“Even if he sells the family’s house, he can’t cough out all these dowries.”

“Whoever marries Qiao Nan is striking it rich with the dowry alone.”

Many people felt the pinch and said that they had known that Qiao Nan had so many dowries and that they should have taken advantage of their favorable position. After all, their children had many opportunities to play with Qiao Nan when they were young.

Given the dowry, it was already worth it to marry Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan was also so good in her studies, and she was the second most promising child in the quad.

It was really…

At the thought that other family’s child was so different from their own, all of a sudden, there was an indescribable feeling in these parents’ hearts.

Although they could not describe it, many people were having the same thoughts at this very moment. It seemed that Qiao Nan did not marry into a better family. Both families were compatible.

Every word of these people was transmitted into the ears of Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin was extremely angry and jealous. She dug her fingers into her palms and her skin was torn.

It was no wonder they forbade her to enter the house of the Zhu family and refused to let her take a look at the dowry. It was because her father and Qiao Nan were guilty-conscious.

She had really underestimated her father’s capability.

“Zijin!” Ding Jiayi’s heart ached as she looked at Qiao Zijin’s hands. “Don’t feel bad or make things difficult for yourself. There is no need to do so. In the future, you will definitely be more glorious than today.”

Qiao Zijin felt the pinch while Ding Jiayi’s heart ached so much that she could not breathe well.

There were so many dowries. How much money had been spent?

How great would it be if the money could fall into her hands? She could buy anything for Zijin. She could even settle the purchase for half a house, no?

“I am alright.” Qiao Zijin loosened her hands and flung them. “I was just muddled by anger for a moment.”

In the recent few days, unless the person did not have a mouth, everyone in the quad had been discussing Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan’s marriage.

When she heard others exclaiming the good fortune of Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin seemed to have been fed with explosives every day. She was irritable and emotionally unstable.

“Shh…” Ding Jiayi tugged at Qiao Zijin. “This is not our house. Don’t talk nonsense.”

If anyone were to hear Zijin’s words, many would be waiting to watch her and Zijin become a laughingstock. “Let’s go home first?” There was such a long queue of people helping move the dowry for Qiao Nan. Ding Jiayi did not wish to look at them anymore. She was fearful that this would hurt her eyes and body, that she would feel more upset.

Before these items entered the house of the Zhai family, be it the items themselves or to exchange them for money, Ding Jiayi was still quite confident in getting some of them into her own pocket.

However, at this point, Ding Jiayi realized that no matter how valuable Qiao Nan’s dowry was, it did not have anything to do with her. She dared not offend the Zhai family.

“No, I want to stand here. “Qiao Zijin refused to budge.

Ding Jiayi was angry and she tugged on Qiao Zijin. “Don’t you feel upset looking at it?”

“Upset. The more upset I feel, the more I want to watch. These are branded items. I definitely have to remember them. When I get married in the future, I cannot lose to Qiao Nan.” She must have the same or more dowry than Qiao Nan.

If she did not remember what happened today, how could she open her mouth to request these items from her father?

Clearly, Qiao Zijin was so upset that she wanted to leave the place, but she had to force herself to open her eyes wide and remember the items that formed Qiao Nan’s dowry and the quantity.

Even if the value of the items were not the same, at the very least, the quantity had to be the same.

“There are so many items. How are you going to remember them?” Ding Jiayi felt that Qiao Zijin’s words were simply a joke.

Not to mention remembering everything, she already could not recall exactly how many items had been moved into the house of the Zhai family a while ago.

Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. “Mom, if that is the case, quickly make a trip home—no, no matter what kind of method you use, bring me a pen and paper at your fastest speed. I have to note them down!”

Her mother was right. Qiao Nan had too much dowry. Her memory was not that good. It would not go wrong only if she were to note them down with pen and paper.

Qiao Zijin was so insistent. Ding Jiayi could only listen to Qiao Zijin although she felt that it was not necessary to do so. She simply spent a little bit of money and bought some paper and pen from the small retail shop and passed them to Qiao Zijin.

The pen and paper came a little late. When Qiao Zijin started to note down the items, the mother-daughter pair had already forgotten almost one-third of the dowry items.

Nevertheless, the remaining two-thirds of the dowry also made Qiao Zijin’s hands feel tired after noting them down.

“Ding Jiayi, Nan Nan is getting married today. Why are Zijin and you still at your doorsteps? Nan Nan didn’t invite the two of you to the banquet?”

The mother-daughter pair was occupying one position each and secretly making notes. Their motive was too obvious. Naturally, people had discovered what they were doing.

This was such a bustling scene. Ding Jiayi was standing with Qiao Zijin as if she did not have anything to do with the situation. She was also exclaiming with them about Qiao Nan’s dowry. That was really too strange.

“Ding Jiayi, Nan Nan is so successful. I think it’s better that you sort out your thoughts. Don’t do any more harm to Nan Nan. You are destined to have no son in this lifetime. Don’t lose such a good daughter in the end.”

“Hahaha. It’s not that we don’t know what kind of person Ding Jiayi is. What’s the big deal of losing one daughter? Most probably, her heart aches most that she had lost so much ‘money’.”

Ding Jiayi’s face turned pale. “What has it got to with all of you? Instead of being a busybody and eating fart, why don’t you go home and worry about those incompetent sons of yours!”

It was no wonder that Ding Jiayi reacted so strongly. Everyone was from the same quad but there were differences in strengths of character.

Ding Jiayi’s temper was not good. In the quad, there were a few neighbors that she could get along better with. Naturally, there were also some neighbors that she disliked.
