Just as Wang was about to reply, she exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Mo Qinghe's words.

The others were also surprised. Who was so generous as to send so many items at once? There must be at least a dozen!

Mo Qinghe glanced at his delicate, white hands and said calmly, "These things are defective, worthless to them, so they gave them all away as a way to get rid of them. The mute girl thought they were quite pretty. We country girls can't afford gold and silver jewelry, but these are nice to wear, so she brought them all back. Take them if you like, it's okay if you don't!"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise again. It was so beautiful, yet it was a defective product. They really didn't understand the world of the rich and powerful!

Zhou Yuzhu said happily, "I like it! I like it!"

Seeing this, Wang didn't know what to say, so she pulled her daughter and said, "Then quickly thank your cousin-in-law!"

Zhou Yuzhu smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Thank you, cousin-in-law!"

Su Nanxi waved her hand and said, "Hey! Don't thank me."

Since she had already brought them out, Su Nanxi simply let Mo Jiarong and the other girls choose a few that they liked.

This made the three of them extremely happy, and they asked several times to confirm, "Third Aunt, can we really choose?"

Choose!

Just as the three were about to choose, Mo Yunmei squeezed in and stopped them, saying, "Hey! I haven't chosen yet! I'm your aunt, don't you know how to be courteous? I'll choose first, you can choose later!"

Mo Jiarong and the other two looked at Su Nanxi together, and tears welled up in their eyes instantly.

They knew perfectly well that after their aunt made her selection, they would definitely not have any left.

Su Nanxi was happy to see the three little cuties happy, but Mo Yunmei suddenly made her unhappy, and she was annoyed.

Mo Yunmei was excited to choose. She looked at them all and they were all beautiful. She wanted them all. If she couldn't wear them all, she could give some to Sister Qiuxia. Yes, as a makeover. Sister Qiuxia would definitely love them!

She was thinking things through when suddenly her hand was slapped, and she winced in pain, pulling it back. Looking at the table again, it was empty!

"Where did it go?" Mo Yunmei searched up, down, left, and right, but couldn't find it.

Suddenly realizing that Su Nanxi had taken it, he angrily questioned Su Nanxi.

"Why are you putting it away? I haven't chosen yet!"

Mo Qinghe glanced at her coldly, and Mo Yunmei immediately stopped yelling. She turned her face away and lowered her voice, "At least let me choose first!"

Mo Qinghe asked, "How many pieces would you like to choose?"

Mo Yunmei thought she now had the right to choose. Of course, she was of marriageable age and naturally wanted to dress up in a more outstanding way. She felt a little smug and asked, "Can I choose all of them?"

The Qin and Zhao families revealed disdainful expressions, never knowing contentment and always pushing their luck!

The three little girls almost cried when they heard this, and they grabbed their mother's hands.

Mo Qinghe said calmly, "Okay."

Mo Yunmei was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Look, she was still the most favored in the family, and she was still allowed to make her own choices. She could still get whatever she wanted! The family was just ignoring her for the time being!

The three little girls burst into tears.

Qin and Zhao stroked their heads to comfort them, "Don't cry, your third aunt won't forget you."

The three little girls looked up at their mother with teary eyes, "Really?"

Qin and Zhao nodded affirmatively, and the three girls were no longer so sad.

Mo Qinghe said again when Mo Yunmei was happiest, "Let Jia Rong and the other two, as well as Cousin Yuzhu, choose first. Cousin Yuzhu can choose one for each of the sisters in the family. If there are any left, you can choose whatever you like!"

When Mo Yunmei heard that she was being told to choose last, she became unhappy. "Weren't they all for me? Why are they being made to choose? They're all mine, why should they get to choose?"

Zhao seized the opportunity, "When did Third Brother say he'd give it all to you? He really knows how to make a scene!"

She didn't want to show any mercy if she made her two daughters cry.

Mo Yunmei asked, "No? Third Brother clearly said I could choose all of them, didn't he give them all to me?"

Su Nanxi felt it was best to ignore someone with a screw loose, so she nudged Mo Qinghe, urging him to deal with it quickly.

Mo Qinghe felt a strange joy in his heart when his wife touched him with her boneless little hand, but he didn't show it on his face.

Mo Qinghe also lost his patience. "You can choose all of them, on the condition that after they've made their selections, you go to the side and let the four of them choose first."

After hearing this, the others immediately pushed Mo Yunmei to the outside.

Mo Yunmei protested and objected, but it was no use. Nobody paid any attention to her, and she couldn't squeeze in.

After the four of them made their choices, they hid the items.

Mo Qinghe said directly, "Everyone, disperse. The rest belongs to others."

When Mo Yunmei saw that it was finally her turn, she happily rushed over, only to find that there was only a small hair clip left on the table.

She got angry and wanted to confront them, but found that everyone had left.

Wang came to the Mo family's house just to stop by. She lived not far from the Mo family's house and hadn't been there in a long time, so she brought her daughter along.

The sun was getting strong, and Grandma Mo was worried about the two girls going back, so she asked them to stay a little longer and chatted in the main room.

"You've really had a tough time, Yuqing! That child has truly inherited the same traits; they're just like you! You're bound to get your tempers flaring up."

Wang glanced at Mo Yunmei outside, then turned to speak to Old Madam Mo.

Grandma Mo seemed numb. She sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I promised, and I have to keep my word. I wanted to try and change things, but I just can't. When we were poor, it wasn't a big deal. Things were fine. But as things gradually improved, our true colors came out, and we can't change them anymore!"

Wang could also imagine what was going on, and sighed, "Just hang in there a little longer, it'll be time soon. Sigh! I can't help you much, you've been carrying the load all these years, you've all suffered!"

Grandma Mo didn't want to continue the topic and changed the subject, "You brought Yuzhu back because you're interested in meeting her, right?"

When her daughter was mentioned, Madam Wang softened. "We didn't openly arrange a meeting, just took a quick look. That girl Yuzhu insisted on seeing her secretly. She absolutely refused to believe what others said, saying that they were just saying nice things and couldn't be trusted. Sigh! There was nothing I could do but take her to see her under various pretexts, just for a quick look, without even saying a word!"

The two started talking about Zhou Yuzhu's marriage.

After chatting, Grandma Mo told the two of them to rest for a while.

Because there were no extra rooms, Mo Yunmei didn't want anyone to sleep in her room. So, Old Lady Mo asked Old Master Mo to move a reclining chair into the main room and then put together a few long benches to make a makeshift bed for the two of them to rest.

Before leaving, Old Lady Mo gave Wang a jar of dried pork jerky and a bolt of cloth, asking her to sew clothes for her parents when she had time.

Zhou Yuzhu looked at Su Nanxi and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I come visit you sometime?"

Su Nanxi was surprised that she would ask her that question, paused for a moment, and then nodded.

Zhou Yuzhu got the answer she wanted and happily went home.

"Wife, you like Zhou Yuzhu that much?"

Su Nanxi nodded. "She's alright. The girl's personality isn't off-putting, and she's quite individualistic."

"Hey! Why did you leave so suddenly?"
