Chapter 206 A Valuable Gift
"Xun Ren, haven't you been to the next town to play cards recently? You always lose money to other people's wives. Does your wife know? Your six uncles are not just here to eat and work! The cosmetics and sanitary napkins you worked so hard to buy are not used by your wife, but by other people's wives..."
Xun Ren's eyes widened in shock.
I didn’t expect Chu Xuan to know so much.
If his uncles knew about this, they would definitely beat him to a pulp.
He said stubbornly, "I didn't."
Chu Xuan smiled meaningfully, "You don't admit it, right? Then I'll ask your uncles to ask Liu Lian in person."
When the name was mentioned, Xun Ren had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Don't worry, please don't tell anyone."
Chu Xuan asked coldly, "Then tell me why you suddenly jumped out just now?"
Xun Ren hung his head. "I want Mu Chenze to brake suddenly and make you fall to the ground on your butt. If I get hit by something, I'll blackmail you two for money. Anyway, someone wants you two to suffer bad luck."
Chu Xuan knew it was Chu Zhi, but deliberately asked, "Who is it?"
See if Xun Ren tells the truth.
Mu Chenze clenched his fists and gave Xun Ren a warning look.
Xun Ren whispered, "It was Chu Zhi. He promised to give me fifty yuan as long as you two can get into trouble. Oh, and he also asked me to monitor Mu Chenze. If he drives a car again, I will report him for driving without a license. I have confessed everything I should have. Chu Xuan, Mu Chenze, can you keep this a secret for me?"
Mu Chenze sneered, "If you do something for me, we'll keep it a secret."
"you say."
"Teach Chu Zhi a lesson for me. If I don't hear about Chu Zhi being beaten within three days, my wife and I will no longer keep it a secret for you."
"Okay. Deal! Can I go now?"
"sure."
Xun Ren ran away only after hearing the affirmative answer.
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan walked out of the photo studio, holding dozens of photos of themselves.
Every photo was taken well, and Chu Xuan no longer felt sorry for the 72 yuan he spent.
I will take a few pictures every year as souvenirs.
Half an hour later, Mu Chenze rode his bike and took Chu Xuan back to the village.
"Xiao Xuan, I forgot to tell you that when Feng Shuai came to see me last night, in addition to telling me that Chu Zhi hired Xun Ren to spy on me, he also left a gift. It's a new lighter. I like it very much and put it in my bedroom."
"Got it." Chu Xuan changed the subject immediately. "I'm really looking forward to the gifts you give to grandma and the others. I have a feeling there will be a surprise."
"It has to be a surprise. They gave you so much dowry money, I can't treat them badly."
"I'll wait and see."
After returning home, Chu Xuan put down the marriage certificate and photos.
After a while, Mu Chenfu, Fu Qing and her sister-in-law came on bicycles to pick up Mrs. Wu and others to go to the Mu family.
Chu Feng went to school and would go to Mu's house at noon.
I didn't let Wu Bingcheng drive because we were going to drink today.
About ten minutes later, the group walked into the Mu family.
It was very lively outside the Mu family courtyard.
There is a stove outside the courtyard wall, and there is a special person in charge of the banquet, who is busy preparing the food.
In the presence of relatives and friends, the Mu family gave Chu Xuan a betrothal gift of 1,000 yuan, and Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan received the money for changing their names from their elders.
Chu Xuan gave the gifts she had prepared in advance to her parents-in-law and her elder brother and sister-in-law.
I will give it to you as I discussed with Mu Chenze before.
It was Mu Chenze's turn to give gifts to Chu Xuan's elders.
They were each packed in an exquisite wooden box with the lid open.
The gifts given to Old Lady Wu and Tian Xiaoyun were pearl necklaces, and the gift given to Wu Bingcheng was a jade pendant.
To Chu Xuan's surprise, Mu Chenze also gave her a pearl necklace.
Each pearl is so round and shiny, with a diameter of about 8 mm.
These are all pearls that Mu Chenze personally opened over the years and asked someone to make them into necklaces.
As for the raw material of the jade pendant, it was a piece of jade that Mu Chenze salvaged from the sea a year ago.
Both the necklace and the jade pendant were worth quite a bit of money, but the Mu family didn't spend a penny on them, leaving the eldest sister-in-law with no reason to complain.
In his previous life, Mu Chenze didn't take these things out when he got engaged. Later, Chu Xuan accidentally discovered them, secretly sold them, and gave the money to Feng Chunhua...
Mu Chenze loved Chu Xuan so much in this life that he gave her all the good things just to surprise Chu Xuan and her family.
Mu Qinlao and his wife knew about this in advance and supported their youngest son in doing so.
After all, Xiaoxuan's family paid so much for the dowry, and the Mu family couldn't afford so much betrothal gifts, so they had to compensate them from other places to show respect.
The engagement banquet went very smoothly and both the guests and hosts had a great time.
It ended at around two in the afternoon, and Mrs. Wu and the others returned to Chu Xuan's home.
Old Mrs. Wu called Wu Bingcheng to the bedroom to talk and to look at his jade pendant.
It was as big and thick as a five-year-old's hand.
The whole body is warm, simple and elegant, and is carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.
"Bingcheng, this jade pendant can definitely be sold for more than 20,000 yuan abroad. Your son-in-law is really willing to spend it."
Wu Bingcheng picked up the pearl necklace in the box and said, "Such round and plump seawater pearls are rare. It takes many years to collect so many, and that requires extremely good luck. Some people can't collect so many in their entire lives."
"Yes! In front of so many relatives and friends, I didn't mention the value of these gifts because I didn't want the Mu family to become the target of public criticism."
If your family is too rich, it will easily attract thieves.
Wu Bingcheng told his wife the content of the conversation.
Tian Xiaoyun told her daughter.
When Chu Xuan heard the value of the jade pendant, she was a little bit incredulous.
In her previous life, she secretly sold all her jade pendants and pearls and only got two thousand yuan.
Only in this life did I know the true value.
Mu Chenze came over just in time.
"Ze, I have something to tell you."
Chu Xuan took his hand and walked into the main room.
Mu Chenze was delighted when his wife took the initiative to hold his hand.
Sitting at the round table in the main hall, he spoke gently, "Xiao Xuan, what do you want to tell me?"
"Do you know how valuable the jade pendant and pearl necklace you gave me are?"
"I know a little bit. Uncle Long told me."
"How much did Uncle Long say it was worth?"
"The jade pendant is around 5,000 yuan, and the wild seawater pearl necklace is so rare, it must be over a thousand yuan!"
"Grandma knows the market overseas and said this jade pendant could fetch over 20,000 yuan. The pearl necklace hasn't been appraised, but I don't think it's going to be much lower."
"Grandma knows about jade? Why not take her to visit Uncle Long's jade factory someday? Who knows, maybe we can even open up overseas markets!"
"I'll ask grandma later. She's resting now."
"good."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Accountant Wen's voice came from outside, "Xiao Xuan, someone named Wu Bingwen just called and said he has something urgent to discuss with Wu Bingcheng."
Wu Bingcheng, who was chatting with his wife in the bedroom, heard this and quickly walked out of the house, thanked Accountant Wen, and then drove him to the village office.
Mu Chenze took out the account book for the engagement banquet from his pocket, pointed at Huang Linlang's name and asked, "Is this a relative of the Wu family?"
One thousand yuan is recorded under the name.
What a big deal!
Most of the friends and relatives in the account book only had a few cents, a few dollars, or at most ten dollars, but Huang Linlang was the only one who was different.
Tian Xiaoyun walked into the main hall with a kind face, "He is your grandmother's nephew. He had to go back to Kyoto for something and was unable to join the feast. I will introduce him to you when I have the chance."
The three of them chatted while drinking tea.
More than twenty minutes later, Wu Bingcheng drove back.
"Xiaoyun. Is our mother still not awake?"
You don't look very well.
Tian Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. Nothing will happen, right?
