Hearing what Grandma Feng said, Ye Xiuqing smiled and agreed, "It really is beautiful! And, Yaqin, I've noticed that you look even better wearing this jade necklace."
Their words made Shen Yaqin even happier!
Her eyebrows curved into smiles, her eyes squinting with joy, as if she were soaking in a honey pot, utterly delighted and sweet!
Her daughter, Zhiyi, is so incredibly filial!
Tomorrow morning, she will wear this jade set and stroll around the courtyard, letting those women who always come to her to show off have a good chance to be envious!
Some people are just wearing an ordinary pearl necklace, but they're already strutting around like crazy, claiming that their daughter bought it for them as a gift, or that their daughter-in-law gave it to them.
snort!
She has one now too!
Moreover, the jade that her family's Zhiyi bought for her was a full green jade!
Jade is much more expensive than pearls.
Most importantly, jade has collectible value; the longer it is collected, the more valuable it becomes, unlike pearls, which do not appreciate in value no matter how many years they are worn.
"Mom, you moved back to the compound. Is someone gossiping about you behind your backs?"
Feng Zhiyi might not say she understands Lu's mother 100%, but she certainly understands her to a degree of 70%.
Upon seeing Lu's mother's expression, she immediately deduced that someone must have been gossiping about her after they moved back to the compound, making her mother-in-law unhappy.
Shen Yaqin was in a particularly good mood at the moment. When she heard Feng Zhiyi ask this question, she immediately replied with a smile, "There are definitely people who like to gossip. This is unavoidable in any place."
"But don't worry, my dear wife, I'm not one to suffer in silence. If anyone dares to gossip about me behind my back, I'll slap them across the face right now!"
Feng Zhiyi nodded gently.
That's true, her mother-in-law has never been one to compromise herself.
She not only protects her own children, but she also never lets herself suffer a loss.
Anyone who dares to come up to her and cause trouble will undoubtedly be the one who suffers in the end.
Suddenly.
Feng Zhiyi thought of something.
There's an old saying that wherever there are women, there will always be all sorts of comparisons: some compare family backgrounds, some compare their gold and silver jewelry, and some compare whose husband has a higher official position and more power.
Having lived in the countryside for many years, Lu's mother had never worn jewelry after returning to the capital. So, after moving back to the compound, some people noticed that her neck and hands were bare, without a single piece of jewelry.
That's exactly what they used as a topic, and then they said all sorts of sarcastic things and bragged in front of Shen Yaqin!
After all, the Lu family has both a good family background and a wide network of connections, and Old Master Huo is a retired general with a high-ranking position and real power. In addition, Lu Lingxiao is exceptionally outstanding, having already become a brigade commander at the young age of twenty-seven.
Finally, there's Lu's father.
That's right, Mr. Lu has returned to his original government agency. According to Mrs. Lu, he is now at administrative level 10, with a monthly salary of 210 yuan.
With her father-in-law being highly respected, her husband being an administrative level 10 official, and her son being a brigade commander in the military, there are only more people who envy and are jealous of Shen Yaqin than they were twenty years ago.
So, those people deliberately teased Chen Yaqin by asking if she had received any gifts from her daughter-in-law, such as a hand-knitted sweater, etc.
"Mom, didn't I prepare ten sets of jewelry for you before? Why don't you wear them? What are they for? Starting tomorrow, you'll wear one set every day. Anyway, everyone outside is wearing gold and silver these days. Listen to me, if others can wear them, then we can wear them too!"
"Moreover, it must be better and more noble than others!"
After saying all that in one breath, Feng Zhiyi thought for a moment and then added, "When we get back to your room, I'll prepare ten more sets of jewelry and have Ling Xiao deliver them to your room. You can keep them and wear them slowly. When you get tired of them and think they're not pretty anymore, I'll get you new ones."
She, Feng Zhiyi, could never wrong anyone but her own people!
Moreover, her in-laws treated her so well, not only entrusting her with the management of all the Lu and Huo family's assets, but also handing over the power of household management to her.
If that's the case, then she naturally can't let her parents and grandfather down.
Daring to follow the trend of the Queen's mother flaunting her wealth?
If she can't make those gossipy women cry, then Feng Zhiyi has lost!
"ah?"
Shen Yaqin was stunned for a moment, then her mind cleared up instantly.
She hurriedly said, "Zhiyi, you don't need to give it to me. I have jewelry to wear. I had a lot of jewelry in my dowry, plus the ones your grandmother gave me and the ones you gave me. I have so much."
There are so many to wear!
However, Feng Zhiyi's attitude was exceptionally assertive: "Mom, from now on, you can take whatever I give you! I won't accept any arguments!"
"Also, I brought you back twenty sets of clothes, twenty coats, and ten designer bags from abroad... all for this time of year, so you can change them up."
"In addition, we have all kinds of skin care and cosmetic products."
Shen Yaqin, “…”
Is she about to faint from happiness?
Upon hearing Feng Zhiyi's words, Ye Xiuqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
This was the first time she had ever seen Feng Zhiyi so assertive!
Grandma Feng nodded with satisfaction.
She strongly agreed with her granddaughter's approach. Since the country had fully opened up and their family had no shortage of gold and silver jewelry, they should be low-key when necessary and high-profile when appropriate.
"Godmother, here, this diamond bracelet is a gift from me to you!"
After saying that, Feng Zhiyi put the blue diamond bracelet on Ye Xiuqing's wrist.
“It’s so beautiful!”
Ye Xiuqing had pretty much figured out Feng Zhiyi's temperament and knew that if she refused, Feng Zhiyi definitely wouldn't listen. So she happily accepted it, saying, "Zhiyi, then your godmother won't stand on ceremony!"
Feng Zhiyi smiled knowingly and said, "Godmother, you can wear these for now. I'll get you new ones when I see something better."
With just a few words, Ye Xiuqing and Shen Yaqin were instantly beaming with joy, their moods were incredibly good, and they were practically radiating happiness.
After giving all the gifts to her mother-in-law and godmother, Feng Zhiyi then gave the gifts to Grandpa Xie, Xie Huazhang, and Xie Junfei to Ye Xiuqing, asking her to take them home later.
Then she took out Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Jun's gifts, put them in a bag, and planned to give them to the two old men to take back when they left.
After that came Old Master Huo and Mr. Lu.
Feng Zhiyi handed the items directly to Lu's mother, asking her to take Grandpa's clothes, watch, and other belongings to his room.
After putting them away, Lu's mother carried the two suitcases back to the bedroom where she and Lu Yunhai slept.
After giving out all the gifts from the elders, it was the turn of the three little dumplings and Jun Zeyi.
