Don't Do Things You'll Regret

"It's okay, the situation this year is special. We're going to visit your family and tell them you've come back to the city. I know you're worried they might bring up the dowry again, but in every city, the price is more or less the same. We may have given less before, but now we can make it up to save face for you in the countryside. We can't let people who've watched you grow up talk about you as if you married casually, not knowing how long you'll be stuck in the countryside. If things are going well, showing them will also help you hold your head high.

Also, I know that your families used to always come to ask for things and money. Now, it's time to let them know that you're fully married and no longer in the countryside. You don't have to worry about being short on food, so they should stop pressuring you for more."
