The movie ended, and the group left with a sense of longing.
They started off discussing the movie content, and as they talked, Dong Lamei pulled Li Qiao to the front, purposefully trying to find out how much savings their family had by the end of the year.
Qin Jin sensed trouble brewing.
The fool would surely spill everything. Dong Lamei may seem sensible, but she was actually sneaky, knowing full well Qin Jin was unwilling to marry Li Qiao, yet she forcefully demanded a dowry of 101, symbolizing that Li Qiao was one in a hundred. One cent less would be unacceptable.
This caused Qin Jin to borrow money from everywhere.
After the old woman took the money, whenever outsiders asked about it, she downplayed Li Qiao's reputation, saying it was already good enough that someone was willing to marry her, so why needed a dowry?
When others heard this, they all thought she was a good person and competed to meet with Li Jinhua for matchmaking.
