Lin Li only got a mouthful of information about this, but she really didn't know where the groom was from.
After asking, she found out that the bride-price was five thousand yuan.
Lin Li was also startled, to be honest, she had lived through tough times herself, and it was only after she went to work in a construction crew in the county town, cooking for the workers, that she had money in hand. To say something laughable, when she married her late husband, her wedding dress and shoes were both borrowed.
Back then, many families were like that, you borrowed from me, I borrowed from you, and after the wedding, you returned it to them, tucking a few coins into a red paper envelope.
And her in-laws were even poorer, jingling with emptiness; her late husband, like her, wore borrowed clothes and shoes, even his underpants were worn for the first time.
