Jiang Li was holding the heavy jewelry box, still digesting what Wang Cuimei had said.
Wang Cuimei was so generous to give her such a big box of gold jewelry just like that?
According to the plot that Jiang Li had watched, Wang Cuimei's character should be unreasonable, complaining about everything every day, and being a stingy person who never spends a penny.
In her impression, Wang Cuimei held the money and jewelry in her hands tightly, and even the house she bought for Shen Changan was under her own name.
In other words, although my cousin married Shen Changan, she did not receive any financial compensation.
Wang Cuimei didn't give any betrothal gifts to Song Jialin, nor did she hold a wedding for them.
The two of them just got their marriage certificate, and the two families sat together and had a meal.
After that, Shen Changan arranged a house for Song Jialin to live in, and he lived in another house.
Except during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, the two of them couldn't even see each other, let alone communicate with each other.
The only benefit Song Jialin got was probably that her father's position was indeed promoted and her family lived a good life.
Although she was a widow and felt very unwilling to do so, no matter how she tried to use the opportunity to seduce Shen Changan, Shen Changan ignored her.
Song Jialin later became resentful, so she thought of taking Jiang Li's child away, so that she could take revenge on Jiang Li and make Shen Changan sad.
During the years that Song Jialin has been a widow, her psychology has become completely distorted and perverted. She will not let others get what she cannot get.
Because she was the child's biological mother, Shen Changan did not prevent the mother and child from meeting and being close.
He was smart all his life, but he fell flat on his face in this matter.
He was first deceived by Song Jialin's family and finally forced to marry her. Later, he couldn't bear to separate the mother and child, and at Song Jialin's pleading, he often let the child stay with her, which eventually led to a disaster.
This is a big box of gold jewelry. Even if gold is cheap, this box will cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Jiang Li was a little overwhelmed by the sudden generosity of Wang Cuimei, the stingy woman.
"Auntie, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Jiang Li shook her head and pushed the jewelry box back.
Although Wang Cuimei is stingy, she also considers people differently. Jiang Li is the daughter-in-law her son likes and the daughter-in-law she approves of.
She had conflicts with her mother-in-law when she was young. If she has conflicts with her daughter-in-law again when she is old, she would really be a laughing stock to others.
Wang Cuimei thought it through. Jiang Li was not greedy for money and could make money on his own. Her son was devoted to her. If she made trouble during their marriage and caused a feud between them, she would just have to live out her life alone.
Although she does not expect her son and daughter-in-law to support her in her old age, she hopes to be with her son and grandson.
Only by having a good relationship with your daughter-in-law can you succeed in this path in the future.
She tried to commit suicide last time, so strictly speaking, she had died once.
After dying once, she saw a lot more clearly, such as what it meant to be well-matched and what it meant to know each other well.
People can pretend, and a well-matched family can also fall apart due to wrong decisions.
As long as the girl is honest, hardworking and willing to work, the wealth their family has accumulated over the years will not be enough to spend in several lifetimes.
Wang Cuimei has been in charge of the family's finances over the years, and her work has not been in vain, as she has invested in some small businesses.
She has made a lot of money over the years, but Wang Cuimei has never said a word because she doesn't want anyone to be coveting her little fortune.
Unexpectedly, her son earned more than her. Her future daughter-in-law could earn 30 yuan by just drawing a portrait for someone in half an hour.
For some working-class families, 30 yuan is already their monthly salary, but Jiang Li only needs half an hour.
With Jiang Li's ability to make money, he probably wouldn't even look down on the assets she has.
She originally thought that her son had taken a fancy to a local chicken, but since he liked it, she had no choice but to accept it.
Later, as they got along, she discovered that Jiang Li was an untapped treasure, and her abilities were too amazing.
Wang Cuimei often couldn't help but wonder where her son had trained his keen eyes to be able to pick up a gold nugget from that poor mountain valley.
"You and Chang'an are getting married at the end of the month. By then, you should call me mom. We will be a family from now on. My things are yours, and yours are still yours."
"These jewelry styles are all made according to my preferences. If you don't like them, I can take you to find a reliable goldsmith to melt them down and make new styles."
Wang Cuimei pushed the box over again. She took out her favorite gold necklace from the box and put it on Jiang Li's neck herself.
She originally thought that Jiang Li was young and might look a little old after wearing gold, but she didn't expect him to look so noble.
Jiang Li was born with good looks, and since she wears long sleeves all year round, her skin is exceptionally fair. With a gold chain, she really looks like a wealthy lady.
"It looks good, Mom, what do you think?"
Wang Cuimei looked very satisfied and shamelessly poked her mother-in-law's arm.
"Good, it looks good. Our little Li is pretty and looks good in anything she wears."
Grandma doesn't indulge Wang Cuimei. Even if she wants to praise someone, she will directly praise Jiang Li.
Despite this, Wang Cuimei didn't care at all, but nodded and smiled in agreement.
"Mom is right. Mom is so smart, everything she says is right."
The old lady was expecting to be criticized, but was suddenly praised and was overwhelmed.
"Ahem, Wang Cuimei, ah Wang Cuimei, when did you become so sweet? You've changed so much recently that I almost don't recognize you anymore."
The old lady stared at her again and again, then expressed her thoughts bluntly.
"Mom, my son is getting married soon, and I'm almost a grandmother. If I continue to be as tactless in my words and actions as before, won't I be setting a bad example for the younger generation?"
"I've made up my mind now. I'll completely change these bad habits and get along well with you. I won't nag you anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Being long-winded will only annoy people."
What Wang Cuimei said made sense. The old lady nodded repeatedly after hearing it, and even Jiang Li looked at her with admiration.
It seems that because of her arrival, a butterfly effect really occurred. Wang Cuimei has now gained enlightenment and has changed a lot.
Jiang Li still wanted to return the jewelry, but finally, under Wang Cuimei's enthusiasm, she had to accept this heavy gift.
This is not the end. At night, Jiang Li followed his grandmother back to her own home. His grandmother directly opened the safe and took out her more exquisite jewelry box.
What is contained here is not tacky things like gold and silver, but real jade and agate, truly priceless treasures!
