After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

When Chunsheng heard that his sixth sister, Chunzao, wanted to voluntarily reduce the items on the betrothal gift list, he was immediately surprised!

If it were another family, the bride's family would usually only complain that the items on the betrothal gift list were too few, and very few people would think it was too much or take the initiative to ask for a reduction.

Although the betrothal gifts are usually taken away by the woman when she gets married, once they enter the woman's home, according to traditional etiquette and regulations, those things are considered the woman's personal property.

If the two get divorced one day, the previous dowry will have absolutely nothing to do with the man!

So when Chunsheng learned that Chunzao had voluntarily reduced the betrothal gifts, in addition to feeling that his sixth sister truly loved her brother-in-law, he also felt that his sister was simply extraordinary.

"Mom, how did you agree to my sister's request to reduce the dowry? Didn't you even try to stop her?"

Chunsheng was very curious about this matter, so he wanted to find out what happened from his mother.

I really just wanted to know how my sixth sister convinced our mother to agree to this.

However, to Chunsheng's surprise, his mother's answer was completely different from what he had expected.

The mother smiled slightly and said, "I didn't stop her. Why would I stop your sister? As long as she can live a good life after marriage, I won't say a word against her even if she doesn't want any of the things on the dowry list."

"On the other hand, if things don't go well in the future, even if the dowry list doubles, I won't care!"

After listening to his mother's earnest words, Chunsheng immediately gave her a thumbs up. "My mom is so discerning! Quan Gang is so lucky to have a mother-in-law like you!"

Liu Yan'e burst into laughter, but then her expression changed immediately. She pretended to be angry and lightly patted Chunsheng's lower back, scolding him with a look of doting affection.

"What kind of son jokes around with his mother!"

Chunsheng immediately straightened his face and said seriously, "I'm not joking, I genuinely think Quan Gang is so lucky! Not only did he find such a great partner as my sister, but he also got such a wonderful mother-in-law like you!"

Chunsheng's words once again made his mother and two older sisters burst into laughter.

After everyone finished laughing, Seventh Sister Chunmiao said, "This afternoon I went to Eldest Sister's house and told her about Chunsheng's attempt to find Eldest Sister's husband a job at the commune's veterinary station. Eldest Sister and her husband were shocked and thought it was too difficult, almost impossible."

The mother nodded. "It's not surprising that they would think that way. As the old saying goes, 'The poor don't fight with the rich, and the common people don't contend with officials.'"

"Your sister and brother-in-law are just ordinary people who haven't seen much of the world. The thought that the person who replaced your brother-in-law at work is a government employee is bound to make them tremble with fear!"

At this moment, Chunsheng immediately asked Chunmiao, "So what did they say later? Were they afraid because the person behind Pan Zixing was a government official, and were they willing to endure being bullied?"

Chunmiao quickly explained, "Of course not! They were indeed a bit worried at first, but as soon as I mentioned that our whole family would help them, my brother-in-law immediately jumped up."

"They said that as long as they could get Pan Zixing out of the commune's veterinary station, even if he couldn't go back to the station himself, he'd do anything to vent his anger!"

Chunsheng immediately shook his head and said, "I can understand why my brother-in-law thinks that way, but it's different from my original intention!"

"My goal is to get him back to his old job, earn more money, and live a good life with my older sister."

"If all our efforts are only to cause Pan Zixing to lose his job, then we've just been killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own, a complete waste of time and energy."

Mother Liu Yan'e nodded slightly. "Chunsheng is right. Getting your brother-in-law back to work is the most important thing. As for whether Pan Zixing will still be at the commune veterinary station, let's not worry about him for now."

"If we can get him out of there, it would be great to vent your brother-in-law's anger. But if we don't get him out and he ends up working with your brother-in-law, we should just avoid talking to him when we meet!"

Chunsheng nodded repeatedly as he listened to his mother speak.

However, he believed that once the matter of his brother-in-law losing his job was brought to the forefront, and his brother-in-law was able to return to the commune veterinary station, the commune veterinary station would definitely not allow Pan Zixing to continue working there.

Moreover, the commune cadre who helped Pan Zixing will most likely also be implicated.

Although helping his brother-in-law get back to his original job was Song Chunsheng's ultimate goal, he also wanted to make the wicked get their just desserts.

At this moment, the mother looked at Chunmiao and asked, "Did you tell your brother-in-law about what you asked him to inquire about?"

"I told you, I definitely can't forget something so important."

Chunmiao continued, "But my brother-in-law said that of the two colleagues he was close to when he was at the commune veterinary station, one was older and went home last year, and the other seems to still be there. But he has to find out. If that person is still at the commune veterinary station, he will go to that person's house to ask."

Liu Yan'e nodded. "Then let's wait for news from your brother-in-law first. This isn't something to rush. Once he has the results, we'll discuss the next steps!"

"Also, your sixth sister can't go to the county hospital with Chunsheng tomorrow, so Chunmiao, you'll have to go with your brother!"

Chunmiao hummed in agreement and immediately asked, "Then how much money do we need?"

"I'll go get the money right now!"

After the mother finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went back to the east room. Soon she took out something wrapped in a gray handkerchief. When she opened it, she found a stack of banknotes inside.

Liu Yan'e looked at the stack of money, frowned slightly, and finally took out five yuan from it. Then she wrapped the rest of the money in a handkerchief and handed it to Chunmiao.

"We still need to keep some money at home, but five yuan should be enough. The rest is sixty-five yuan and eighty-five cents. Take it all and use it for Chunsheng's medical treatment!"

"If it's not enough, have your sister cover it first, and we'll pay her back when we have the money."

Chunmiao stared at the money her mother handed her, but didn't take it immediately. She bit her lip and stared blankly, lost in thought.

At this moment, Chunsheng suddenly asked his mother, "Mom, is this all the money we have?"

Liu Yan'e nodded. "Yes, all the money in the house is here now."

Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh, "We only have this much money, and it's all going to the hospital! I don't want to go anymore...!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Yan'e immediately interrupted him, saying coldly, "Your health is the most important thing right now. Go to the hospital with your seventh sister tomorrow, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Chunsheng thought for a moment, then said, "If we spend this money at the hospital and they find something wrong, we won't have the money to treat it! It's better not to go for the checkup at all!"

Upon hearing Chunsheng's words, Liu Yan'e immediately shoved the bundle of money wrapped in her handkerchief into Chunmiao's hand and scolded her:

"Let's go to the hospital for a checkup first. If they find something wrong, we'll sell everything we own and borrow money to get treatment. How can we not get treatment just because we don't have money?"
