Before discussing marriage, Lily's parents promised Lily that as long as her boyfriend's family was willing to take out a 200,000 dowry, they would agree to the affair, and promised that the 200,000 dowry was just a formality, and then Lily would be brought back to her in-laws' house.
The boyfriend agreed, but the parents reneged on their promises, on the day of the wedding, Lily's entire dowry was only a quilt, and Lily also blamed her parents for this matter, and even after eight years of marriage, she never returned to her mother's house.
Whenever someone asked, Lily said:
It's no longer my home.
Lily, who has been studying abroad for many years, after seeing the lights and greenery of the big city, knows in her heart that this custom should not exist in this world, and the happiness of her brother should not be paid for by her sister. But with Lily's strength alone, it is almost impossible to reverse this custom that has existed for a long time.
Lily's heart is naturally clear, so from the beginning, Lily secretly decided that she would not let her future boyfriend's family give too much dowry.
However, on the day Lily brought her boyfriend home, Lily's parents made it clear to her boyfriend that if she wanted to marry her daughter, she must prepare a dowry of 200,000 yuan.
At that time, her boyfriend was only in his 20s, and he had so much savings in his hands, and Lily also knew this, so after waiting for her boyfriend to go back, she had a big fight with her parents, and Lily thought that her parents' practice was not to marry their daughters, but to subsidize their families in the name of marrying people.
In the end, Lily's parents were really out of luck, so they assured Lily that their family would not use the bride price of the daughter as the funds for the son to marry the daughter-in-law like others, and lily would take all of these bride price gifts back to the in-laws' house, and she would not keep it at all.
After listening to her parents' explanations, although Lily was a little unconvinced, she chose to compromise out of trust in her parents.
Years of getting along has made Lily already aware of her mother's temper, and the loan she said is only a nominal loan, and she wants to pay it back, I don't know how many years it will take.
However, as a daughter, Lily could not bear to argue with her mother on the eve of her big wedding, and finally she chose to compromise.
On the wedding day, Lily found that her dowry only had a quilt, and the boyfriend not only drained the family foundation in order to marry himself, even relatives and friends borrowed a lot, after learning about this matter, the husband did not complain, but also tried to comfort himself on the side, at that moment, Lily could no longer bear it, tears collapsed.
It was also from then on that Lily decided never to return to her mother's house, even after a month of marriage, the daughter who married out had to return to the door, and Lily did not return to her mother's house, but just walked around the village.
After marriage, Lily's parents can obviously feel the change of their daughter, but as far as they are concerned, they have not taken any remedial measures, but let the situation continue, Lily saw this situation, and she was even more cold to her parents.
The surrounding relatives and neighbors saw that Lily had not returned to her mother's house since she got married, and asked her what the reason was, and Lily naturally knew that the ugliness of the family could not be publicized, and she could only implicitly express: This is my home, and I naturally do not have to go home.
This went on for eight years, and even when Lily gave birth, she didn't call out to her family, and her parents never asked about it.
For eight years, Lily had not re-entered her mother's house, and the reason for this was that Lily was completely heartbroken by her parents.
