Chapter 280 Precious Gift

Manager Jiang looked calm, but in this short while, he had already given away a lot of things.

Jiang Yue felt sad: "Dad, my dowry is already enough, no need to add more."

"What do you mean by 'more'?" Shopkeeper Jiang glared at Jiang Yue. "That dowry is just enough for you to spend. What will happen to my grandchildren in the future?"

Jiang Yue: ...You love your daughter so much just for the sake of your grandchildren who are still unknown where they are?

"It's just me and your mother at home. Whatever we can spend, I'll give it to you. It's for the child anyway." Shopkeeper Jiang looked directly at Jiang Li: "I remember the boss rewarded me with a piece of very soft cloth last year. You said it was suitable for the child."

"It's in the warehouse. I'll find it later." Jiang Li nodded. "I remember there are quite a few silver locks. Do you want a gold lock?"

Jiang Yue was already somewhat numb: "Dad, Mom, you..."

She really didn't know what to say. Although Wang Dahu promised her that the second child could have the surname Jiang, her parents had already started preparing things for the second child before they got married. It was too embarrassing to talk about this.

Jiang Li looked at her daughter with a smile: "Let's find it first, and don't show it to others."

"It just so happens that I also need to prepare some gifts for Da Hu's niece and nephew. I remember his niece's name is Mingzhu, right? I happen to have a set of pearl jewelry that is perfect for a little girl. I'll give it to her later."

Shopkeeper Jiang's face was all smiles as he nodded, "Of course, of course."

"It's just that I remember Da Hu saying that her niece used to be a pearl diver. Don't give her pearls, give her a set of gemstones instead."

Jiang Li's face showed an annoyed look: "Look at me, I forgot about this matter when I was happy. I gave Xiaoyue one set of the gemstone jewelry I made last time. The other set is still in the warehouse. I will go find it later."

Jiang Yue felt even worse. She stopped Jiang Li and said, "Mother, the things I gave Mingzhu and her brother are already very good. There's no need to add more."

Jiang Li pretended to be unhappy: "What you gave is what you gave, and what I gave is what I gave. How can it be the same?"

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Jiang Yue and said, "Xiaoyue, remember what your parents said. Dahu only has these two relatives. If you treat them well, Dahu will treat you better in the future."

Jiang Yue's eyes were hot, and she let out a long sigh: "Dad, I know, I won't be willful."

"Well," Shopkeeper Jiang stroked Jiang Yue's hair, "Xiaoyue, your parents are sorry for you. If you had a brother, you wouldn't have to stay at home because of us, and you could be the master."

Jiang Yue's tears fell: "What are you talking about, Dad? Don't I have servants to serve me now?"

Jiang Li glanced at the servants outside and whispered, "Xiao Yue and Da Hu should just live a good life from now on. Let's not talk about the past."

Jiang Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "I will live a good life with Brother Dahu, don't worry, Mom and Dad."

Jiang Li held Jiang Yue's hand and waited until she had wiped her tears before saying, "Our Xiaoyue's good days are still ahead. Being the master of her own household is better than anything else."

She secretly glared at the manager Jiang, who really dared to say anything.

Manager Jiang was not angry even though he was glared at. He just looked at the mother and daughter in front of him with tenderness in his eyes.

"I'll have someone heat up a pot of wine in the evening. You guys can drink with me tonight. Good days are yet to come for our Jiang family." The shopkeeper Jiang became happier and happier as he thought about it, and he wanted to celebrate.

"Aren't you going out?" Jiang Li glanced at the sky outside.

"Why, can't I come back earlier?" Manager Jiang pretended to be angry.

"Okay, you are the head of the family, you have the final say. I will ask the cook to make two more dishes today, and then I will prepare the gifts for Dahu's niece." Jiang Li went out happily.

Shopkeeper Jiang put away the smile on his face, looked up at the girl who had grown up in pampering, and finally sighed: "Xiao Yue, as long as you live well, whether you have grandchildren or not is not that important to us."

Jiang Yue knew that his father was sincere in saying this, just as he sincerely wanted a grandson.

"Dad, I know that Brother Dahu and I will be fine in the future."

Shopkeeper Jiang looked into Jiang Yue's eyes seriously, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Okay, as long as you are fine."

Jiang Li first went to check on the dinner, then went to her own storeroom, picked out a lot of jewelry suitable for young girls, and put a set of intact writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in it, and packed a new box.

Together with the boxes prepared by Jiang Yue, they were delivered to Wang Dahu's house.

The Wang family was preparing to have dinner when they heard that the Jiang family had sent something, so they had someone move it in.

Ye Mingzhu guessed that her future aunt-in-law would give them gifts, but she directly gave them two boxes of gifts. Isn’t this a bit too much?

She raised her eyes and looked at Wang Dahu: "Uncle? Isn't this a bit too much?"

Wang Dahu waved his hand to let the servants go down, and personally opened the two boxes.

The box prepared by Jiang Yue was divided into two parts. Most of it was cloth and jewelry, as well as the latest popular rouge and powder, purses, and handkerchiefs. It almost contained everything a girl would wear when going out.

There is also an inkstone and a brush of good quality, and under the inkstone are several books.

It's obvious that this gift was thoughtfully put into it, as the clothes inside were all made by Jiang Yue herself.

In the box prepared by Jiang Li was a set of gemstone jewelry. The red gemstones were crystal clear, and the blue gemstones were as pure as the sky.

Compared with these, Hui Mo, who was visiting nearby, had fewer rumors.

Ye Mingzhu's mouth widened. If this was a gift for meeting someone, it would be too expensive.

"Uncle, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Wang Dahu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Jiang family valued Ye Mingzhu and her brother so much. He remembered that this set of colorful gemstone jewelry was a reward from the shopkeeper Jiang. It was made into two sets of jewelry, one of which was given to Jiang Yue as a dowry. He didn't expect that they would be willing to give this set to Ye Mingzhu.

"Uncle?" Ye Mingzhu called out when she saw him in a daze.

Wang Dahu came back to his senses and calmly closed the box: "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."

Ye Mingzhu didn't understand what Wang Dahu meant, but she still sat down at the table obediently.

Everyone eats a lot at noon, but the dinner is much simpler, with only six dishes and one soup.

After dinner, Uncle Yan stood up and said that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. Ye Yun'an rolled his eyes and said that he was also tired.

Wang Dahu found it a little funny, but did not expose him. He personally sent Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an back to their room to rest.

Uncle Yan guessed that Wang Dahu had something to say, so he took the initiative to leave.

Wang Dahu originally wanted Ye Yun'an to stay and listen, but he didn't expect him to leave on his own initiative.

When he returned to the dining room, Ye Mingzhu was sitting next to the box in a daze.

"Uncle, it's hard for me to accept such an expensive gift."
