Ruan Yunxi kept the betrothal gifts given by Gu's mother in a separate cabinet without locking it, so she wasn't afraid of anyone stealing them.
Anyway, Ruan Yunxi hid the valuable money and jewelry in her spatial storage.
The quilts made of Dacron and the new cotton delivered, as well as the quilt covers made of new fabric, are all placed in the closet.
It's hot now, so we don't need blankets.
At home, Gu Weizhou likes to stay up late at night, and the two of them are all snuggled together, so there's no need for them to be together.
Gu Weizhou tried on the shoes his mother had sent him. They fit perfectly and were homemade cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles.
She knitted the sweater herself, only for Gu Weizhou, not for Ruan Yunxi.
The shoes were available, but the size was too big; they weren't Ruan Yunxi's size. They were much too big for her, like she was wearing an adult's shoes.
Ruan Yunxi asked, "Did your mother-in-law ask you for my shoe size?"
Gu Weizhou nodded.
Ruan Yunxi asked, "How much are you talking about?"
Size 36.
Ruan Yunxi looked at the cloth shoes on her feet: "These should be size 38, right?"
Gu Weizhou frowned: "Call my mom tomorrow and tell her that the size was wrong, and ask her to make you a pair next time."
“Okay!” Ruan Yunxi said, “I want a floral sweater like yours too, and I’ll have Mom knit it for me.”
“Okay!” Gu Weizhou nodded, completely unaware of Ruan Yunxi’s thoughts.
Thinking that Gu's mother deliberately refused to knit a sweater for her, she insisted that Gu Weizhou ask for it. Wasn't she trying to create a persona of a doting daughter-in-law in front of him?
This left her speechless.
"Oh, by the way, I don't like pure gold. I like jewelry with gemstones, sparkly and pretty. If your mother-in-law gives me jewelry next time, please mention it. I'm a new daughter-in-law, I'm too embarrassed to say anything." Ruan Yunxi's personal space is her own, not a gift from her mother-in-law.
The ones given by Gu's mother were different again.
We can't let her have both the substance and the appearance.
Ruan Yunxi couldn't bring herself to punish herself to please others.
Gu Weizhou remembered this; from now on, when buying jewelry for his wife, he would also buy pieces with gemstones.
The next day, Gu Weizhou called home early in the morning. His mother was having breakfast and answered immediately when she heard it was Gu Weizhou calling: "Xiaozhou, did you receive the package?"
Gu Weizhou nodded: "We all like what Mom sent, especially Yunxi. But the shoes are too big. I remember telling Mom that they are size 36. She can't wear them and they will just go to waste. Mom, remember to make her a new pair... no, three pairs, so she can have some to wear."
Gu's mother: "Can't she make shoes herself?"
"She won't. Thank you for your hard work, Mom. You love your daughter-in-law the most, don't you? My sister-in-law said you're the best mother-in-law in the world. Yunxi is your daughter-in-law too, so you can't look down on her, or I'll get angry." Gu Weizhou wasn't stupid; he realized after waking up that his mother was doing this on purpose.
Fortunately, his wife was not one to suffer losses. They were husband and wife, and he had to get whatever his wife wanted.
"And the sweater, she said mine looked good, praised my mom's knitting skills, and told me to tell her that I also wanted to wear a sweater knitted by my mom, because it has my mom's touch." Gu Weizhou was not bad at talking; he was the youngest of four children and had known how to get his parents' attention since he was little.
At the base, they just didn't want to waste their energy.
In front of Mother Gu, he, as the youngest son, had to firmly hold his position.
“Yunxi’s birthday is coming up soon. She likes the hardware that Mom gave her, but gold jewelry always lacks a bit of brilliance. If Mom is planning to give her her first birthday gift after she married into our family, she could give her gemstone jewelry or something. She would probably like that even more.”
Gu's mother's lips twitched: "Do you think I'm some kind of turtle in a wishing well?"
"Mom, even if you're the turtle in the wishing well, you're the most beautiful and elegant turtle. For my sister-in-law's first birthday after she married into the family, I remember you gave her a Hetian jade bracelet, right?" Gu Weizhou knew a lot about his family.
I didn't say it before because I felt it was unnecessary.
