Then, Mrs. Lu was about to return to the kitchen. Second Aunt Li quickly pulled her back and looked at Mrs. Lu as if she was looking at a fool. "Sister-in-law, are you stupid? Jiang Yao is already married into the Lu family. How can the dowry not belong to the Lu family? You are her mother-in-law. If you ask for it, how dare she not give it to you?"
"The Lu family does not have the habit of stealing the dowry of their daughter-in-law. Those things belong to her. Even if we are a family, there are lines we do not cross. Even though I am her mother-in-law, I am a reasonable person!" Mrs. Lu shook off Second Aunt Li's arm. Even if she lent her sister-in-law those things, that woman would never return those items to her.
She had suffered through the same thing when she was younger. Whenever her sisters-in-law borrowed her things, they never returned the item.
Eventually, Mrs. Lu figured it out. So she never wanted to lend anything to them again.
