Chapter 398: Not Allowed to Ask for Money
Lin Jiabao was so moved that he burst into tears.
"Wife, you are so nice!"
Then he looked at Lin's father and mother and said, "Mom and Dad, you are really good at choosing. You found such a good wife for me. I will enjoy my life in the future."
Father Lin didn't say anything, and Mother Lin had a cold face. She didn't want to talk anymore. After hearing this, she knew that there was no way to return the product. They had no choice but to accept that they had married a daughter-in-law who could eat more than a pig.
At this moment, looking at Lin's father and mother who thought they were so moved that they didn't know what to say, Guan Shengnan was also very happy in her heart. She finally had a home and family again!
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the sisters who gave her gifts on her wedding day, so she asked: "By the way, when we got married, the sisters in Beijing sent us gifts. Should we give them gifts in return? Or write them back to tell them that I like their gifts very much."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Lin family fell silent for an instant, not knowing what to say.
In the end, Lin's mother said coldly: "No need, your sisters' families are all rich, so giving these gifts is nothing."
Guan Shengnan frowned after hearing this, "That's not good. The sisters specially sent us gifts. If we don't write back, they won't know what we think."
"Then write a letter back and ask for some more things. They all have money, especially the second and third daughters. Forget about the second daughter, as she gave birth to a younger one in the past two years, and she still has to support the first two. I guess it's a bit tight for her.
Ask the third sister more questions. I heard that her husband made a lot of money by writing books and bought a big house. He also gave two quilt covers to her brother when he got married. How can she be so generous?
He is a state official, but I have never seen such a stingy one.
No, I have to write her another letter later. I have to give her something good. If she doesn’t give it to me, I will write to her boss and say that she is unfilial! Let’s see if she dares not to give it to me!”
After hearing this, none of the Lin family members reacted. Instead, Guan Shengnan turned cold and said seriously: "Mom, you are wrong to think so. Whether the sisters have money or not, it has nothing to do with us!
My sister has been very good to us, and the gifts she gave us are very good. Even if you think they are not valuable, it is the sentiment behind them. You can't ask them to give you expensive things just because they are rich!
They are already married, and we as the bride's family cannot ask for anything more!"
Mother Lin disagreed, "I am their biological mother, Jiabao is their biological brother, what's wrong with them giving us something?"
"Then would you like me to take our things back to Guan's house?"
Mother Lin refused without a second thought, "How can that be? You've already married me, and a married daughter is like spilled water. Don't even think about taking things from our family back to your parents' home!"
When Guan Shengnan heard her say that, she looked at him as if she was being hypocritical.
"See, if you think so, why do you ask the sisters to do it?"
"But aren't they rich? Your second sister's husband is a director, and your third sister is a state official. Her husband writes books and sells them for a lot of money!" Lin's mother retorted.
"But it's their business if they have money. Besides, it's not like the sisters don't care about you. I heard that they used to send you things every now and then! That shows that they are very filial and care about you."
Mother Lin curled her lips when she heard this. "That's because they're afraid of what others might say, so they sent some junk here to show others. As officials, they care most about their reputation!"
