Chapter 687 Receiving a Blessing
Mianmian turned around, "Grandma, what's the matter?"
Grandma Lu slowly took out a pair of jade rings from her bosom. "These were left to me by my parents. They were loving and devoted to each other their whole lives, childhood sweethearts who grew up together."
"They said that as long as I wear this ring, I can be like them."
“My parents didn’t give it to me when I got married. Now they have long since passed away, and I have no use for it. So I’m giving it to you now.”
The jade rings were pure and bright in color, with a delicate emerald green hue, clearly not ordinary items.
She accepted the jade ring with great joy and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."
Grandma Lu smiled with relief and said slowly, "My sons are all useless. I was thinking that these rings would probably end up in the ground with me. Now that they have a home, I can rest in peace."
Mianmian couldn't help but look at the jade ring again. "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely keep it safe."
Grandma Lu smiled and nodded.
Wearing the jade rings, Mianmian followed Doctor Xu as they turned and left the thatched hut, boarded the carriage, and prepared to go home.
In the carriage, Doctor Xu asked, "Mianmian, do you really believe in this jade ring?"
Mianmian carefully opened her hand, looked at what was in her palm, and nodded emphatically, "Of course I believe it, this is indeed a good thing."
Doctor Xu smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I see that Qing'er cares about you so much, she will definitely not let you down in the future."
Mianmian slowly grasped the jade ring in her hand, "That's natural."
After the two returned home, Mianmian presented the jade ring to Du Wanchun.
She smiled and said, "It seems your mother-in-law really likes you."
Mianmian carefully put the jade ring away. "I'll let Qing'er try it on when he comes back."
Du Wanchun leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Keep this as a token on your wedding day."
Mianmian blushed. "No rush, no rush, a few more years."
Du Wanchun smiled, "Of course Mother isn't in a hurry, it's someone else who is."
Mianmian immediately knew who it was, and her cheeks turned even redder.
Du Wanchun continued, "The embroiderer your second brother found in Ruan County is truly skilled. I had her embroider a wedding dress for you. The embroidery will take at least half a year to complete. No matter how anxious Xiao Qing'er is, she will have to wait half a year."
Upon hearing this, Mianmian seemed to suddenly sense something, "Second Brother went to Ruan County again?"
Du Wanchun raised her eyes and said, "That's right, he used to go there often?"
Mianmian smiled and said, "I do love going there, but I don't know what's so appealing about it."
Du Wanchun's eyes curved into a smile, "That might have to wait for your second brother to say it himself."
The mother and daughter chatted for another hour or two.
A month later, Mianmian heard about Old Lady Lu's situation from Dr. Xu.
Following Mianmian's words, Grandma Lu repeated what her five sons had said.
Unexpectedly, her five sons immediately changed their attitude. In the past, they ignored her, but now they are eager to take the old lady back to fulfill their filial duties.
Later, after the five sons argued over it, Old Mrs. Lu decided to take turns staying at one of her sons' houses every ten days.
They stayed at their eldest son's house for the first day.
Just yesterday, Grandma Lu had gone to bed.
The eldest son of the Lu family wanted to search Lu's mother for silver notes, but instead of finding any, he discovered that his wife was having an affair.
This was quite a shock. The eldest son of the Lu family immediately divorced her, and a few days later he brought another woman into the family.
This woman was an orphan from the village entrance. She was timid and unattractive, but she was still quite filial.
The family's sons also became more harmonious, and although it was all for money, Old Mrs. Lu's life gradually improved.
Perhaps it will be after she passes away that her sons will discover that the so-called five hundred taels was actually only fifty taels.
Mianmian was very pleased to learn of this.
Looking at the jade ring in her hand, she gradually felt the urge to settle down.
Qing'er went to the manor with Zhou Ruiyuan, and on their way back, they happened to see Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun brought up the jade ring to Qing'er, intentionally or unintentionally.
Qing'er understood immediately and wrote a letter home that very night, asking them to prepare the betrothal gifts.
