When Jiang Suining walked in, the sedan chair was parked at the entrance of a leaky alley. Her mother's family thought she was marrying shabby, so half of her dowry was withheld; the neighbors waited to see the joke; her husband's family brought out a basin of cabbage with clear water, and even the red candle was said to be borrowed.
Everyone thought she would cry, make trouble, and feel poor.
But Jiang Suining saw something was wrong: the gapped bowl was worth three hundred taels, the table legs were made of golden nanmu, the mother-in-law's sleeves had dark patterns that were only found in the palace, and the old ring on the hand of the sickly husband was even more ridiculously expensive.
Very good, the whole family is pretending to be poor.
She didn't expose it and just took out the abacus: "Since you are poor, live according to the poverty method. The debts for today's wedding banquet will be recorded first, and the whole family will receive meal tickets from tomorrow. Whoever hides private money will wash the dishes."
From then on, everyone in the Lu family was forced to live a hard life with her. When outsiders come to humiliate her, she asks someone to make up for the gift money first; when her parents' family comes to snatch the dowry, she settles old debts; when powerful people come to test the Lu family's identity, she blocks them at the door as if they are creditors.
The Lu family originally just wanted to keep a low profile and avoid trouble, but this new daughter-in-law brought her back to the capital.
She thought she was taking her family out of poverty.
The Lu family knew that she was saving their whole family back to the human world.
