As the Chinese New Year approaches, my boyfriend and I, who have been together for many years, are preparing to meet each other's parents. I went to my boyfriend's house first. During the meal, my boyfriend's mother enthusiastically held my hand and said, "Obviously, the first time I saw you, auntie knew that you were a sensible girl. Nowadays, good girls don't ask for betrothal gifts. Obviously you won't ask for it, right?" I was stunned, thinking about the posts I saw two days ago, which were very similar to my mother-in-law's. So without thinking, I said exactly what I said in response to my mother-in-law at the bottom of the post. "A good girl doesn't want a bride price, but a good mother-in-law will give it to her."
