80s control group: After the marriage exchange, I was loved by the group

Chapter 5 Marriage (I)

Lin Chuxia didn't expect that the Li family was in the neighboring village, but they arrived later than the Qin family.

In the previous life, the Li family came late because they had to borrow money for the bride price. Three hundred yuan was not a small amount for the Li family, and they only managed to get the money together on the day of the betrothal.

In this life, Lin Jiayi asked for 80 yuan as a dowry, but it was a step too late. It seemed that her good mother-in-law's cunning and meanness were not directed at her alone.

Apart from this, the betrothal gift went smoothly. In addition to the three hundred yuan, the Qin family also gave six feet of cloth, and the Li family also gave cloth, eight feet in total. This made Lin Jiayi very proud.

Lin Chuxia knew what was going on. After all, three hundred became eighty. Even if they gave a few more feet of cloth, the Li family would still get a great deal.

The wedding date arrived in a blink of an eye. According to the local custom, the bride's family entertained relatives and friends the day before the wedding. The Lin family was also quite lively that day.

The two daughters were married off together, and even though grand wedding banquets were not popular in that era, the Lin family still set up several tables.

In the evening, after seeing off the last group of guests, Lin's mother called all the family members together.

"Your father and I have arranged tomorrow's affairs. The Li family is close, so we will send Jiayi out first. Second brother, you stay at home and wait. We will send your eldest sister out first, and you don't have to worry about anything else. We will let them arrive later at the Qin family so that neither of them will be delayed."

When they marry off their daughter here, the girl's parents usually don't go with her, they just send her off.

There are also cases where the daughter’s parents want to show their appreciation for their daughter by allowing her to go with them to visit the in-laws’ family. This is called visiting new relatives. What Lin’s mother meant was that she wanted to go with her eldest sister to visit the Li family.

Lin Jiayi expressed her opinion first, "I listen to my mother."

Lin Chuxia also nodded, "Okay."

In the previous life, Lin Jiayi was the first to leave. My mother said that the Qin family’s home was far away, so she let my eldest sister go out first.

As a result, when the Li family came to pick up the bride, she was the only bride at home. She had to wait awkwardly until the afternoon when her parents came back. They complained that they were tired after running around for a long time, so they just let her go with the Li family.

Because of this, she was looked down upon by her husband's family before she even got married. If she had not been able to convince her mother-in-law that she could not make any mistakes in everything, and if she had not persuaded Li Guangyuan to do business so that the Li family could see the real benefits, one can imagine how miserable her life would have been.

He collected his thoughts and listened to Lin's mother's nagging for a while before going back to his room to sleep.

Lin Jiayi was in a good mood. She took the new clothes she was going to wear the next day and compared them on her body again and again. She also asked Lin Chuxia, "Which one do you think I should wear? That's how ready-made clothes are. They all look the same when they are worn. It's better if you make them yourself. I'm just too clumsy, so I can only ask my mother to buy ready-made clothes for me at the department store. If I had your skills, I wouldn't have to buy two sets at once. I could make them whenever I want to wear them."

Having said that, the look on his face was nothing but showing off, not envy.

Lin Chuxia yawned, "Mom is thoughtful. I know it's not easy for you to buy new clothes after you marry into the Li family. If you don't buy a few more sets now, you don't know when you will get new clothes. If you ask me, you should use the cloth to make new clothes for you as soon as possible, otherwise you may not get any in the future."

They are getting married tomorrow, and considering that she doesn't have to marry Li Guangyuan in this life, Lin Chuxia kindly reminds Lin Jiayi.

Li Guangyuan has two younger sisters, and they are not easy to deal with.

Lin Jiayi didn't think Lin Chuxia had good intentions. The more she spoke lightly, the more Lin Jiayi felt that she was jealous.

What doesn't she have a share in?
She has the final say on her dowry, so how could she not have a share?

He wanted to say something, but when he saw that the other person had closed his eyes, he snorted coldly and continued to try on new clothes.

Lin Chuxia was awakened by a burst of noise. It was still dark outside, but the house was already busy.

Lin Jiayi had already gotten up and was getting ready. She was wearing a red and purple plaid coat that was somewhat similar to the one Lin Chuxia had made. Lin Chuxia also picked up her new clothes and put them on. Lin Jiayi, who had just finished combing her hair, turned her head and was stunned to see Lin Chuxia in her new clothes.

Her younger sister hasn't worn a new piece of clothing for many years. She is the eldest in the family, so new clothes have to be bought according to her size. When she can't wear them anymore, they can be given to her second younger sister.

In my impression, my second sister has always been skinny, but I didn’t expect that after putting on the new clothes, she looked skinny but not dry. And her hair has always been frizzy, how come it looks nice now?
Does red plaid clothes flatter people?
Lin Jiayi glanced at herself in the mirror, then looked back at Lin Chuxia.

There is no difference between the former, and the face is even a little darker, while the latter has red lips and white teeth, shiny black hair, and a lot whiter skin.

He couldn't help but frown.

She envied Lin Chuxia the most because of her fair skin. They were born to the same parents, but somehow she had fair skin. No matter how much sun she got in the summer, she would never get tanned. But she, on the other hand, could never get white no matter how much she covered herself.

"Go change your clothes. You are not allowed to wear this."

Lin Jiayi spoke unhappily.

Lin Chuxia didn't even glance at her, "Sorry, this is the only one I have. You can change it if you want."

Lin Jiayi was furious, "If you don't want me to change it, I'll call mom."

"Why did you call mom here? You said we are wearing the same clothes and I am prettier than you, and you are afraid that Li Guangyuan will regret the marriage if he sees us?"

"You're talking nonsense," Lin Jiayi would never admit that Lin Chuxia was indeed prettier than her at this moment.

The two of them have lived together for so many years, but Lin Jiayi has never thought that Lin Chuxia is pretty. This almost overturned her perception that she was the prettiest person in the family for the past twenty years.

She had the confidence to change her marriage because she thought she was prettier than Lin Chuxia. Even if Li Guangyuan saw both of them at the same time, he would definitely like her more. As long as the marriage was changed, she would be able to live a better life than Lin Chuxia and win Li Guangyuan's heart more.

How can Lin Chuxia become more beautiful than her?
Lin Chuxia sneered, "You're worrying too much. I'm a bride-to-be and it's not convenient for me to meet people. What does it matter what I wear? We're not really going out together."

Lin Jiayi thought so too, and was so angry at this damn girl that she said, "Then it's a deal, you can't go out. If you ruin my happiness, I will never forgive you, and mom won't let you go either."

"Don't worry, I won't go out even if you ask me to."

If possible, I don't want to see that two-faced man in my life.

After hearing her say this, Lin Jiayi was still worried and asked her mother to remind Lin Chuxia again.

Soon, neighbors and villagers who were on good terms with the Lin family came to join in the fun, and Sun Lanlan also came.

When she heard that Lin Jiayi would be sent out first, Sun Lanlan patted her chest and said that she would accompany her and watch her get married, just like in her previous life.

Lin Chuxia was so touched, "Lanlan, you are so nice. When you find a partner, you must tell me and I will help you to screen him. When you get married, I will also accompany you." She must not marry that scumbag again.

Sun Lanlan agreed generously.

As the two were talking, the outside became noisy and firecrackers were set off. The people from the Li family arrived to pick up the bride.
