"Don't worry, I guarantee to provide door-to-door service. All you need to do is leave your address and your life," the shopkeeper said, his eyes fixed on Liang Shuyan not far away.
Sanwang smiled and left the specific address and name. Then he took out a bag of loose silver from his body and handed it to Liang Shuyan: "Mother, look, this is about enough. It's all the money that Ruyan and I have saved up. Ruyan saves it up because she doesn't want to buy clothes or cosmetics."
Liang Shuyan glared at Sanwang and said unhappily, "Nonsense! This is Ruyan's living expenses. How can you use Ruyan's living expenses to buy furniture? What about the money I gave you?"
Sanwang stammered, "Mother, I want to use this money to do something else. After all, you're going to open a cosmetics company, and there will be many places where you'll need money in the future."
"Starting a cosmetics business has nothing to do with you; it's my own business!"
Seeing this, Ruyan began to explain, "Mother, please don't say so much. This little bit of money is what I've saved up over the years. I only need it to buy some medicine for you. Now I need money to buy furniture, so why can't I use it? We're all family. If you think we're family, you should accept this little bit of money."
Liang Shuyan didn't know what to do, so she nodded and said, "Okay, since you're so persistent, then let's use this money to buy furniture."
Ruyan is her future third daughter-in-law, and she can't let her daughter-in-law suffer like this. She can't refuse this little bit of money, but she has money on her to buy Ruyan some nicer clothes and cosmetics. Her daughter-in-law must be the most beautiful and outstanding in the village.
After making some plans in secret, Liang Shuyan gave the shopkeeper the money, and then the group left in a hurry.
In Daling Village, Jinxia returned from town with her children. As soon as she got back, she saw her mother-in-law talking about Sanwang's wedding. She pondered for a moment and then said, "Mother, the children are happy today. Xiaohua and Xiaohe wanted to buy you a roast chicken, so your daughter-in-law bought one for you and my father to try."
"Alright, stop wasting money in the future. Instead of buying things for this old woman, you might as well dress my grandson up nicely. That way, when the kids go out, your dad and I will be happy too."
Jinxia hadn't expected that over the years, her mother-in-law had always worked so hard without complaint, helping to take care of the children at home and managing everything inside and outside the house diligently. She had worked so hard. When the topic of Sanwang's wedding came up, Jinxia remembered the clothes she had made for her mother-in-law last time, and then happily said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law made you a new dress. Why don't you try it on? If it fits, you can wear it to my aunt's house."
Jiao nodded: "Alright, it's been so many years and we haven't found any suitable clothes. If you make them, bring them over so I can try them on. Your aunt's family only has this one thing to do, and our whole family needs you. You and Qiudong should take the children. Even if you can't help much, you should still go."
The relationship between Liang Shuyan and Li Zheng's families has become increasingly close, and they had been preparing for the matter of Sanwang for a long time.
Li Zheng walked in, a pipe dangling from his lips, and said with a smile, "Old woman, how's the packing going? We're going to go over there gratefully. I heard that most of our relatives have already arrived, so we can't be too late."
Jiao tried on the clothes Jin Xia had given her and nodded happily: "Okay, let's go now."
The group arrived at Liang Shuyan's house. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a murmur of surprise: "I was saying that as soon as Sanwang and Ruyan get married, his aunt will give the restaurant in town to Sanwang and Ruyan. What a wonderful thing that is! Ruyan is really a lucky girl."
“Mother, please stop talking. Being lucky now isn’t really a good thing. We’ll only see things clearly when we actually start living our lives. Otherwise, it’s all just wishful thinking.”
The speaker was none other than Aunt Liu's second daughter, Yinxia. Yinxia was also holding a child at this moment, wearing a patched-up top, pouting, and speaking as if she was quite unhappy.
"Hmph, you wretched girl, it's all your fault for being so useless. If you had gotten pregnant with Sanwang's child back then, it wouldn't be Ruyan marrying Sanwang now. Look at you, what kind of life have you and Pangdan made of? You don't even like listening to what I'm saying."
Upon hearing this, Jiao began to mock Aunt Liu: "You old hag, why are you still thinking about this? Do you want Yinxia to get a divorce?"
Aunt Liu looked up and stared at Jiao in astonishment: "My dear in-law, what are you saying? I was just saying it casually, why take it so seriously?"
Jiao shook her head: "Alright, Yinxia's child is all grown up now, why do you still remember this? Although Fatty's life is a bit tough now, the child has still tried his best. The key is that Fatty's mother is also quite unreasonable. She's old and always thinking about taking things from her own family. Isn't that just making things worse for her son?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Liu seemed to suddenly remember something, slapping her forehead and saying, "That's right, how could I forget such an important thing? How old is this fool? His own brothers are about to have grandchildren, and his mother is dead. Why is he still taking things from his parents' home?"
Seeing this, Yinxia stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Liu: "Mom, please don't get involved in this matter, okay? Fatty is a very filial son. If you go to my mother-in-law to settle accounts like this, how am I supposed to explain it to Fatty?"
"You, you good-for-nothing! Look how they treat you! You pretend to be mute and let them bully you, but you don't dare to talk back. What kind of person are you?"
Aunt Liu was so angry that she started cursing, but Jiao pulled her back: "Forget it, we're here today to attend Sanwang's wedding, what does this have to do with it?"
Aunt Liu sighed softly and followed Jiao Shi and Jin Xia to Liang Shuyan's house.
A commotion arose in the courtyard, followed by laughter from inside the tent. Relatives and villagers had arrived, as well as some who had done business with the Jin family for many years.
Manager Li grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, eating as he did so, oil dripping from the corners of his mouth. The men around him happily said, "Oh dear, Madam has given us such a great discount this time. We must show our appreciation properly for Sanwang's wedding."
"Of course. Madam has always been very kind to us, so we should do our best to make her proud today. Sanwang is a long-time customer of ours, and we have prepared a big gift for him this time, but we'll keep it a secret for now."
