The eldest son is already twelve and still getting extra dowry, even Shuzhen, who may be a bit naive, knows it's her brothers finding excuses to give her more, right?
But, clearly she's the one who's getting the lion's share!
Seeing her brothers give so much, just take it quietly, otherwise you'll end up being distant with them. The two sisters-in-law even kept saying listen to your brothers, it's only right for big brothers to give their little sister some pocket money when they've made so much money.
Shuzhen was both touched and comforted.
In other families, even a pair of gold earrings would have them fighting like cats and dogs, let alone sisters-in-law causing drama and threatening that if she's in, I'm out, forcing the in-laws and husbands to choose a side. Even the brothers might inevitably say something like daughters married off are like spilled water, you have to rely on sons for old age and ancestral rites, right?
