Chapter 201 Meeting Mother-in-law
"Sure, you can come after you finish your housework. We have plenty of staff in the kitchen anyway." The chef was very generous.
On the way home from the Public Security Bureau, Luo Chunhua asked Bai Jing many questions. When she finally asked whether the two of them had done anything wrong, both mother and daughter had shame on their faces.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Is your daughter that kind of person?" Bai Jing was speechless. What was her mother thinking?
It’s no wonder Luo Chunhua thought this way. It’s inevitable that people would be worried when two young people are alone together for such a long time.
"That's good. You're still young. It's better to wait until you're 18 before having sex. It's good for your body." Luo Chunhua said in a low voice.
When Bai Jing heard this, she thought of her previous life. Although she was engaged to Wu Ming at the age of sixteen, she didn't get married until she was eighteen.
Now that I think about it, her mother had other intentions in keeping her for two more years.
"Mom." Bai Jing thought of the secrets between herself and Jiang Chen and could no longer contain her shame and anger. "If you keep saying that, I'll ignore you."
Seeing her daughter like this, Luo Chunhua didn't understand anything. "Okay, I won't say anymore. Just know it yourself."
When the two came back, Jiang Chen was still resting in Bai Yong's room. Bai Jing was afraid that her mother would think too much, so she quickly told her mother about Jiang Chen's injury.
Listening to Bai Jing's words, Luo Chunhua's eyes were filled with heartache. "I'll go to your Uncle Wang's place and see if he has any old hens. I'll buy some for him to nourish himself. Don't take advantage of your youth and neglect your health."
Thinking of how seriously injured he was, Luo Chunhua felt very distressed. She had to take good care of him during these days at home.
"Okay, Mom, you can go by bike. You have taken a day off tomorrow, so you can go and inform your second uncle, third uncle and others to come to our house for dinner tomorrow." Bai Jing thought that everyone was at work and they were pressed for time, so she said to her mother.
"That's what I thought. Although mentioning the eight cakes counts as an engagement, it's definitely too late to prepare this year. Let's just do it tomorrow and officially get engaged. Then let Xiao Jiang take you shopping for a couple more clothes. Our family doesn't care about betrothal gifts. As long as you two are fine, your father and I will be happy."
Luo Chunhua looked at her daughter with reluctance in her eyes.
Bai Jing smiled at her mother and said to her mother jokingly, "Mom, he gave a lot of betrothal gifts and gave me all his wealth."
As she said this, she went into the house and took out her cloth bag.
She took out two passbooks, but she didn't dare take the one kept by her grandfather for fear of scaring her mother.
"Look."
Seeing the passbook, Luo Chunhua smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang is a good person, but you should not be as extravagant as before." Just as she said this, Luo Chunhua, who wanted to say a few more words, swallowed all the words that were on the tip of her tongue after seeing the numbers in the passbook.
"This, this is too much."
She had never seen so much money in her life.
"Xiao Jiang just gave you all of it?" She never expected that Xiao Jiang would give so much. "Aren't you afraid that you will run away with the money?" Putting herself in his shoes, she would never do such a thing.
It is better to keep money in your own hands.
Maybe, everyone’s life is different, and the choices they make when facing things are different.
Jiang Chen is willing to give everything he has to Bai Jing to prove his love for her.
Luo Chunhua, who has experienced hardships in life, has completely different ideas. In her opinion, no one is reliable and one can only rely on oneself.
If she had such a large sum of money, she would definitely not give it to her man. She would keep it in her own hands just in case.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person, your daughter?" Bai Jing was speechless. She didn't expect her mother to say that about her.
"Besides, I'm going to marry him in the future. Who else can he give the money to if not me, Mom?" Bai Jing stopped and took her mother's hand. "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Jiang Chen isn't like Dad. Besides, there's no one left at home. If he dares to bully me in the future, you'll have to stand up for him."
"Don't forget, I have two younger sisters and a younger brother, plus my cousins. Who else can bully me?"
Luo Chunhua really had no way to deal with her. Besides, was that what she meant?
"You." She also knew that her daughter had met a true lover. "Be nicer to Xiao Jiang in the future."
The voices of the two also startled Jiang Chen who was resting in the room, and he quickly got up and came out.
As soon as I came out, I saw the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa talking.
"Xiao Jing." He called out to Bai Jing, "Is mom back?"
The sound of his "Mom" was very smooth.
Walking to the sofa, Jiang Chen awkwardly called out to his future mother-in-law, "Mom, you're back! Sorry to have kept you from work."
"Xiao Jiang, come on, come and sit down. Did we bother you with our conversation?" Luo Chunhua's expression was just as surprised as when she saw her daughter. "Xiao Jing said you must be exhausted from the long ride back. Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Jiang Chen hadn't felt so cared for by anyone in a long time, except for Bai Jing, of course. The relationship between the two was different from that between elders.
"Mom, I'll feel much better after I sleep." Jiang Chen sat down under the pressure and looked at his mother-in-law. "I'm sorry I delayed your work. I came home this time to give you a gift."
He is still thinking about the eight cakes.
No matter what, he had to establish a solid relationship with Bai Jing.
"Mom, wait a minute."
After saying that, he stood up and went to get the things he bought. "It's not much, and I don't know the rules of engagement here. Mom, please take a look. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more this afternoon."
Luo Chunhua looked at the things on the coffee table with a look of shock. Although she had seen some things in the world, she still shuddered at the sight of these things.
"This thing is too expensive. We don't have many customs in our village. In addition to the eight cakes, engagements require both parties to buy new clothes. Xiaojing told me about your clothes last time, so I went with your father to buy them."
Having said that, Luo Chunhua also stood up to get something.
Bai Jing didn't know that her mother had prepared these things.
It seems that she had started preparing since her mother agreed to let her go find Jiang Chen last time.
For some reason, Bai Jing felt sad.
In her previous life, she always felt that her parents' love for their children was biased, at least she felt that she was the one who was not loved.
I never expected that I would receive this recognized family love in this life.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong with Bai Jing and immediately sat down next to her. "Did something happen? Don't be afraid, tell me and I'll take care of it."
Bai Jing shook her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes, not wanting him to see her vulnerable side.
"It's okay. I just didn't expect my mother and the others to prepare everything so early. I think she prepared it after I came to see you last time."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Chen's smile widened a bit. "You, isn't it good enough that your mother loves you? Let's be nicer to our parents in the future."
He no longer has any relatives, and now the Bai family is his relative.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
