Chapter 294: Gifts for Returning Home



She asked Chen Xia to go into the house and rest quickly, while she went upstairs with Lin Yuyao to cook.

Since there were no facilities for cooking downstairs, Lin Yuyao had everything in her room.

"You just got married and you came back. Aren't you afraid of your in-laws' opinions?"

"I can't go back home."

Ye Lian: “…” It seems so.

"Are you coming back today?"

The whole family was out, and she forgot about it for a moment.

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I guess so."

"Then why are you coming back empty-handed?"

This……

Well, it seems like everyone has forgotten about this.

"Who said that? We brought the stuff with us, we just didn't take it in the car."

"Really?"

"real."

"Hey, what did you bring? Don't bring anything too valuable. We can't afford it."

"I brought two bags of fruit candy."

Ye Lian: “…”

Seeing her expression change instantly, Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I was just kidding. These are not two bags of fruit candies, but two large bags of wedding candies. My mother-in-law prepared them for you to take back home."

The neighbors are waiting for them to bring back wedding candies.

Luo Feng also understood these rules, so she had people prepare everything long ago.

"That's fine, let's take some wedding candies and cakes back later."

Seeing the rice cooking in the pot, Ye Lian said, "Go, bring it up for me to see."

"Now?"

"Yes, it's okay to leave the rice here and cook it yourself. We'll be up in a few minutes."

But... it's a bit heavy.

"No, just put it in the trunk of the car. Take it out now, and you will have to take it down again when you leave. It won't be troublesome enough."

"Then I have to go and see what it is like, so I can prepare a return gift. I can't wait to see it when I leave."

Uh... okay.

She thought the two bags of wedding candy shouldn't be big, but ten kilograms per bag was too heavy.

This is how they prepared when her daughter-in-law came back to visit.

She didn't expect that each bag weighed 50 kilograms, and the two bags together weighed 100 kilograms. She was so shocked that her eyes widened.

"Oh my god, why are there so many? Are they going to open a store?"

Originally, Luo Feng didn't want to prepare so much. The most she thought was that one bag would be 20 kilograms at most, and two bags would be 40 kilograms. Would that be enough?

But a bag weighs 50 kilograms, and this is what the old man carried.

The old man said that the Lin family was popular and when they left, their neighbors all asked for some wedding candy, and if they were left with less, there wouldn't be enough to share.

Is that enough?

There are only about twenty households in their village. If the candy is only given to people in the village, each family can get several kilograms of wedding candy.

"That's too much." Ye Lian said.

"It's a bit much, but what can we do now that everything is ready? Grandpa also said that he promised our neighbors that he would give them wedding candy."

"It's all my good intentions, I've prepared them, so I'll just have to take them back. It's okay, your dad and your eldest brother can each carry one bag."

What she is worried about now is, other people are preparing so much, how should they prepare?

Ye Lian knew exactly how much money the family had.

He just married his eldest son off during the Chinese New Year, and now he's marrying off his youngest daughter. Their savings over the years and the money earned by their eldest son in recent years have almost all been spent.

Lin Yuyao naturally knew their difficulties, and while cooking, she stuffed the remaining three hundred yuan in cash into Ye Lian's pocket.

Ye Lian quickly declined, "What are you doing?"

"I honor you."

"If you give me ten or eight yuan as a gift to show your filial piety, I will accept it. But if you give me three hundred yuan, I cannot accept it. Yuyao, the money you have now is no longer yours alone, but belongs to you and your wife."

"I know, but this money is mine. I earned it before I got married."

"You can't give that to me either. Keep it for yourself."

Lin Yuyao insisted on giving it to her, "Take it. All the money that my elder brother earned before getting married was for you. Normally, I should give it to you, but I have spent most of it on buying a house, and this is all I have left."

"You..."

"Mom, stop talking. Just take it."

Although it cost a lot of money to marry her eldest brother, Lin Yuyao knew that a lot of the money in the family was earned by her eldest brother.

My eldest brother didn't have much education and started helping with housework at an early age.

It was hard to make money in the mines, but I did make a lot of money in those years.

All of it was used to help her parents raise her and Lin Ping.

Compared with her elder brother's contribution, she really didn't give much.

Ye Lian looked helpless, but still took it.

Suddenly I remembered the things my daughter put in her bag yesterday, and took them out and gave them to her.

"This is what you gave me yesterday. Please check it."

Lin Yuyao opened it and took a look. Everything was fine.

"You didn't lose it, did you?"

"It's not lost. It won't work if mom keeps holding it."

"That is, what is this?"

"My manuscript, which I had intended to submit, was returned to me by the editor yesterday."

"Huh? Why? It's not well written?"

"No, I heard that something happened at their publishing house... not sure. Anyway, Sister Song is a nice person. She suggested that I apply to another company, saying that I could get a better price."

Ye Lian: "Mom doesn't understand these things, you should be more careful. Why don't you talk to your son-in-law? I heard that he has lived here since he was a child. In fact, he has only lived in his hometown for a few days, so he is familiar with this place."

Lin Yuyao nodded, "Yes, he lived here with his grandparents when he was a child. His parents were originally here too, but they returned to their hometown to do business. Grandpa came back after he retired, so he probably didn't live in his hometown for very long."

The two chatted and talked about her relationship with her in-laws.

That was all Ye Lian asked.

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "We've only been together for less than a day, what could possibly happen?"

"So do you think they get along well?"

"It's fine. Grandpa is old now. I heard that he spends all day drinking tea and walking his birds. He doesn't care much about the younger generation. My parents are busy with their business and have no time to take care of us. My sister is easy to talk to and she likes me very much."

"I can see that the girl likes you very much. That's good. Your mother-in-law is busy and has no time to deal with you. If your sister-in-law doesn't cause trouble, you'll be better than most families."

That's true.

It’s strange to say, they are all women, but if a daughter-in-law is excluded in her husband’s family, the people who exclude her are mostly her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law.

If you can have a good relationship with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, your marriage will most likely be good.

After chatting for a while, the meal was almost ready, but strangely, the three people had not returned yet.

"Yuyao, go check if they're back. The meal is almost ready."

Lin Yuyao went to the window to look, but there was no one there.

"No."

"Really? It's not Chinese New Year now, so there shouldn't be many people taking the train, right? The ticket office isn't far away, so why hasn't he returned in such a long time?"

"Maybe something delayed me."

"What could possibly happen? Three grown men."

As they were talking, the three of them came back.

"Are you guys back? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"Lin Gang, go and ask your wife to come up."

"Why."

Ye Lian whispered to Lin Yuyao again, "Didn't you say you didn't come back?"

Lin Yuyao: "Maybe he went upstairs."

All right.
