Chapter 5082
If her mother really allowed her to keep half the dowry, Yehua would have at least a hundred thousand dollars.
It wasn’t much by wealthy-family standards, but for someone whose parents demanded her entire salary every month, it was a significant amount.
She never fought them over it. She told herself that dowry would be her final act of gratitude before she built a life of her own. Once she married, her salary would finally belong to her — not to her parents, not to her brothers and their wives.
It was the rule in her hometown: daughters give their income to the family before marriage, but once they marry, they stop. They only give token amounts during holidays, whatever they can manage. No one expects more, because family wealth is passed to sons — and sons are responsible for supporting their parents in old age.
Daughters? They help if they want to. No obligation.
Yehua admitted her family favored her brother. That was normal where she came from. Sons inherited the estate. Sons paid medical bills. Sons carried the family name.
