Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 901

Most of the women in the village were like that. They liked to ask about money whenever they met anyone.

"Yes, they are very good to me. They gave me a big red packet," Jiang Yao replied with a smile. However, she did not say how much. After she washed her face, she returned to her room under the envious gazes of her relatives.

Jiang Yao had left, so no one could ask her about it. They could only turn to ask Mrs Jiang. Although Mrs Jiang loved to show off, she knew that there were some things that she could not do.

For example, the number of red packets her daughter and son-in-law had given the two of them the previous year, or the amount of money that Jiang Yao had received from her in-laws.

Jiang Yao sat in her room; she was bored. She listened to the loud voices in the courtyard as they talked about how much money the daughter and son-in-law had given the parents for the new year, how much betrothal money the family had received when they sold their daughter, whose daughter was old enough to be sold, and whose son was old enough to be married.

When they mentioned daughters to be sold, they meant that they were to get married. It was the county's custom that demanded a high dowry for the daughters. When asked about it, they would never say that they were marrying off their daughters. Instead, they would say that they were selling off their daughters.

As a daughter, Jiang Yao was also a person who had read many books and saw the same kind of publicity at school daily. At first, when she heard that word, she was extremely displeased. However, she had gotten used to it.

That topic often made her feel that it was vulgar and annoying.

However, Jiang Yao could only mutter a few words in her heart. Then, she laid on the bed and thought about her gift for Lu Xingzhi's birthday.

She had thought about it since the last time he texted her. It was almost time for her to go to the army to celebrate the New Year with him, but she still did not know what gift to give him.

The more Lu Xingzhi looked forward to it, the more pressure she felt. If she did not prepare well and let him down, she would not be happy about that either.
