On this day, the Xu Family gathered together for dinner.
Xu Qinghe and his wife, Xu Nianji with their four-mber family, Xu Nian’an who was about to get married, and Xu Nianhua who was heavily pregnant.
In the living room, the fireplace was burning brightly. Everyone was seated around the sofas as Xu Nianhua munched on sunflower seeds and asked, "Mom, what’s with all the fuss today? What are you planning?"
"Nianji, Xiaohe, you’re at ho today, mainly to discuss sothing." Ji Ying took out three boxes and said, "One for Xiaohe, one for Xiaoxi who isn’t married yet, and one for Nianhua."
"These couldn’t be gold bracelets, could they?" Xu Nianhua muttered, and upon opening the box, she was taken aback. Indeed, it was a shining gold bracelet! It seed quite hefty in size.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Xu Nianhua glanced at the gold bracelet in her hand.
Zhou He opened her box and found it was indeed similar to Xu Nianhua’s—a gold bracelet.
"Mom, you’re being really generous." Xu Nian’an looked at his wife’s share and smiled, "That’s not fair. I want one too."
"You’re a grown man, how can you be shaless?" Ji Ying raised an eyebrow.
Xu Nian’an grinned and said, "Mom, I was just joking."
"These gold bracelets all weigh the sa, with minimal differences, though the styles are different." Ji Ying explained, "Xiaohe, you entered the family a few years earlier. At that ti, we didn’t have much money, so we only gave you two hundred yuan as a dowry."
"Mom, I’m already very satisfied, not to ntion getting such a valuable bracelet. Thank you, Mom." Zhou He expressed her gratitude, feeling she was truly lucky to have such a great mother-in-law who never criticized her and even included her in the gift alongside Su Xi.
Many mother-in-laws wouldn’t care about these things.
"Mom, I understand what you an. Tis have changed, and now is incomparable to then. Marrying Nianji and joining the Xu Family has been completely satisfying for . Rest assured, I won’t feel upset." Zhou He imdiately reassured her.
Xu Nianji’s smile deepened. With such a wonderful wife, he must strive to earn more money. Maybe soon, they could build a new house right next to his parents’ for mutual support.
"Xiaohe, I know you’re a good child, but as your mother-in-law, I cannot favor anyone over the others." Ji Ying was crystal clear; whether they were daughters-in-law or daughters, everyone received a gold bracelet and ten thousand yuan. This way, the three siblings couldn’t argue about it.
"Mom, I..." Zhou He was moved to tears; her mother-in-law was incredibly kind. She had never heard of anyone saying that the first daughter-in-law would get additional dowry, let alone supplenting it with ten thousand yuan.
"There’s no need to say anything, as long as you two live harmoniously and peacefully, your dad and I will be delighted." Ji Ying said with a smile, also warning Xu Nian’an, "Nian’an, Xiaoxi is a wonderful child. Later on, if you dare have any wrong ideas, I’ll break your legs."
Xu Nian’an: "..." When did he ever have any wrong ideas?
He was so wronged; from childhood to adulthood, he only dated Su Xi and only loved Su Xi.
"Nianhua, if Yicheng dares to bully you, be sure to tell Mom and Dad." Ji Ying repeatedly reminded her.
