Chapter 353 Heirloom
The three women, young and old, were not interested in these things and ran to the greenhouse in the backyard to pick fruits. Jiang Ping, in particular, was almost addicted to picking fruits.
"Ruoting, Mom accidentally picked so many."
"It's okay, Mom. Let's eat slowly." Shang Ruoting didn't think anything of it. At worst, she could just quietly put it in the space for safekeeping. It wouldn't go bad. As long as her mother-in-law was happy, it was fine.
Old Mrs. Shang felt very relieved watching the harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She thought her granddaughter was lucky to have met such a gentle and kind mother-in-law.
The three of them were chatting and laughing when Xiao Liu suddenly ran over and told Shang Ruoting that someone was looking for her.
Shang Ruoting thought it was the Yangmei sisters. After all, they hadn't been here since someone came to visit their house.
Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the gate, the person looking for him was Shang Ruonan.
The smile on Shang Ruoting's face froze instantly, and her tone was inaudible.
"You looking for me?"
Shang Ruonan was very polite: "Ruoting, I have something to tell you, can you come out for a moment?"
Tan Chen, who was fighting with Tan Shaowen, heard the noise at the door and walked over.
When he saw that the person coming was Shang Ruonan, his desire to protect her instantly increased.
He quickly stood in front of Shang Ruoting. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on her.
Old Mrs. Shang also stood on the other side of Shang Ruoting, ready to protect her granddaughter's safety at all times.
Jiang Ping didn't know the person who came, and seeing the attitude of her family, she knew that the person who came was definitely not someone she was close to.
"Ruoting, what is this?"
After all, the dirty deeds of the Shang family are shameful. What's more, these people are related to Old Madam Shang, and Shang Ruoting doesn't want to embarrass her grandmother.
I explained, "Mom, this is a neighbor from the village. He might have something to ask me."
Tan Chen also felt what his wife meant, so his tense state seemed to relax a little.
When Jiang Ping heard Shang Ruoting say this, she didn't want to be a nosy mother-in-law, so she pulled Tan Shaowen back to wash off the sweat from practicing boxing with her son.
Shang Ruonan was obviously embarrassed when she saw so many people protecting Shang Ruoting.
I'm not a monster that will eat people, so why should I be so cautious?
But come to think of it, my family has never been friendly to Shang Ruoting, so there is nothing wrong with them doing this.
After sorting out her thoughts, Shang Ruonan spoke: "Ruoting, I want to show you something."
Shang Ruoting asked nonchalantly, "What is it?"
She was not interested in Shang Ruonan's things.
But because Tan Shaowen and the others were there, it was not appropriate to make things too awkward with her.
Shang Ruonan looked at Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen with some hesitation: "I only want to show this to you."
"Wife, since she's keeping me in suspense, it's better not to look at it!"
As Tan Chen spoke, he prepared to close the door and cut off communication with Shang Ruonan.
The same went for Old Lady Shang. She was extremely disappointed with Shang Lichun and his family, and didn't think Shang Ruonan had any good intentions in coming here.
So, when Tan Chen finished speaking, she planned to help Shang Ruoting go back.
Shang Ruonan became a little anxious when she saw that the store was about to close, and quickly took out the jade bracelet from her pocket.
"Look at this."
The moment Mrs. Shang saw the jade bracelet, she froze in place.
"You...you...how did you get this bracelet?"
Seeing the out-of-control look of Old Lady Shang, Shang Ruoting knew that this bracelet must be related to her grandmother.
She looked at the jade bracelet. It was crystal clear and had a rich texture. It was obviously a rare and valuable item.
Seeing that Old Lady Shang recognized the bracelet, Shang Ruonan continued, "I secretly hid this when I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't have kept it until now."
Old Mrs. Shang stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the jade bracelet.
Shang Ruonan did not dodge and let Old Lady Shang touch her openly, but she had no intention of letting go.
Shang Ruoting knew that Shang Ruonan must have a purpose in bringing this jade bracelet here today. She did not ask Shang Ruonan first, but looked at Old Lady Shang.
"Grandma, what's going on with this bracelet?"
Tears welled up in Mrs. Shang's eyes. She choked up and said, "This was passed down to me by your great-grandmother. It's a family heirloom of the Shang family."
"During the special period, all the things in my house were confiscated. I thought this jade bracelet would be taken away as well. I didn't expect that I would still see this bracelet in my lifetime..."
At this point, the old man burst into tears.
Even Shang Ruonan was moved when she saw Old Madam Shang crying so sadly.
But she couldn't forget the purpose of coming here.
"Grandma, Ruoting, when I was little, I didn't know much. I thought this bracelet was pretty, so I secretly buried it under a tree."
"Since it's a Shang family heirloom, I think as a granddaughter, I should have a share."
"What do you want?" Shang Ruoting interrupted her.
