<\/div>\n

She had waited for years and given so much, yet she still hadn\u2019t received a definite answer from Dr. Lin.<\/p>\n

Although Dr. Lin\u2019s parents treated her as their daughter-in-law, he was the one who was going to marry her, and without his confirmation, she might not even be able to marry him.<\/p>\n

Her mother called again, urging her to go back for blind dates, saying the matchmaker had introduced her to several men with good incomes, including a doctor working at a small hospital.<\/p>\n

He Yuehua knew her mother was pressuring her to go on blind dates for two reasons: first, she was already on the verge of becoming an \u201colder single woman,\u201d and second, she hoped her mother would receive a dowry when she got married. No matter how much the dowry was, her parents probably wouldn\u2019t give it to her to take back to her husband\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

He Yuehua didn\u2019t dare hope for a dowry; she\u2019d be lucky if her mother gave her half to take back to her husband\u2019s family. She had secretly saved some money herself, not a lot, but still a few tens of thousands.<\/p>\n

If her mother was willing to give her half of the dowry, she would have at least 100,000 yuan.<\/p>\n

This amount of money might not be much for wealthy people, but for someone like He Yuehua, whose parents demanded she hand over her entire salary to the family after she started working, 100,000 yuan was a considerable sum.<\/p>\n

He Yuehua wouldn\u2019t argue with her parents; she considered it her dowry as the last payment she could make to repay their kindness. She had told her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law that once she was married and had her own family, she wouldn\u2019t hand over her salary anymore.<\/p>\n

This was the norm in her village: no matter how filial a daughter was before marriage, giving all her earnings home, once she was married and had her own family, she wouldn\u2019t give her money back.<\/p>\n

She would only give her parents a little money during holidays, the amount depending on her ability, and her parents wouldn\u2019t ask for much.<\/p>\n

He Yuehua was actually eager to get married. Once married, she could manage her own salary and wouldn\u2019t have to give it back to her parents anymore, since they spent it on her brothers, not on them.<\/p>\n

She admitted that her parents favored her brother more; it was unavoidable in her hometown, where family property went to the sons, and supporting their parents in old age was their responsibility. Daughters weren\u2019t expected to provide for their parents, and if they fell ill, the sons were responsible for their medical expenses.<\/p>\n

Daughters could give as much as they wanted, and no one would say anything, since the family property went to the sons, and the sons were naturally obligated to care for their parents in their old age and until their death.<\/p>\n

He Yuehua envied Dr. Zeng, but knew she couldn\u2019t compare to him.
\nDr. Zeng\u2019s family background is far superior to hers. Dr. Zeng\u2019s parents are impartial; they bought houses for both Dr. Zeng\u2019s brother and Dr. Zeng herself, both in full.<\/p>\n

Her parents, on the other hand, wouldn\u2019t even allow her to save up for a house herself, saying she\u2019d get married eventually and her husband\u2019s family would have a place to live, so she wouldn\u2019t need to buy one.<\/p>\n

Unlike other parents who buy their daughters a house in advance, even a small one, it\u2019s a safety net for them.<\/p>\n

Dr. Lin already owns a house, and after she marries him, with money and children, she\u2019ll definitely want to buy another. She won\u2019t ask to have her name added to Dr. Lin\u2019s pre-marital property.<\/p>\n

Only after marriage will the house be considered joint property, and she\u2019ll truly have a home of her own.<\/p>\n

Unlike now, when she goes back to her hometown, she doesn\u2019t even have a room of her own. Every time she goes back, she has to share a room with her mother. Even though there are empty rooms, her brother and sister-in-law say the children are growing up and the empty rooms need to be used by them.<\/p>\n

She rarely went back to her hometown anyway, and when she did, she\u2019d only stay a few days before heading back to work. She didn\u2019t need a separate room; sleeping with her mother for a few days was fine.<\/p>\n

The home she\u2019d contributed so much to wouldn\u2019t be her home anymore, much less her support.<\/p>\n

She had to hold onto Dr. Lin tightly, appease his parents, establish herself in the Lin family, and integrate into the family before she could find a home for herself.<\/p>\n

After a long while, He Yuehua finally drove the drunken Dr. Lin home.<\/p>\n

When they arrived at the Lin family home, she carefully opened the door, afraid of waking his parents.<\/p>\n

But as soon as she opened the door and turned on the light, Dr. Lin\u2019s mother came out of the room. Seeing her struggling to support her son, Dr. Lin\u2019s mother quickly came over to help her carry him inside.<\/p>\n

She said with concern, \u201cHow did A-Jian get so drunk? He reeks of alcohol. How much did he drink?\u201d<\/p>\n
