The little brothers-in-law and the little sisters-in-law would often show off their strength to the groom right before their sister's wedding as a way of standing up for her. This tradition is meant to serve as a warning to the groom to never let their sister suffer after marriage.

"Yuanrui, you will have to marry a wife one day too, and when that happens, don't blame me for coming to your wedding," Wang Shouzhe said with a grin. "You know well the tricks the groom tends to pull, so let's just call it a truce here, to end this cycle of tit for tat."
To his surprise, Yuanrui shrugged it off, saying, "I don't care. I'm a scholar, what's wrong with backing down a bit? After all, I will be relying on my wife to protect me anyway."
