When they came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou's mother and Xu's mother were both carrying a lot of things in their hands.
Mother Xu said helplessly: "Sister Zhou, shall we go back?"
Zhou's mother was a little hesitant, but after feeling that they couldn't take anything else, she agreed.
When the two returned to the island, the soldiers had just finished their training.
Many aunts came out and chatted on the roadside.
Xu's mother and Zhou's mother, carrying large and small bags, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The supply and marketing cooperative where Aunt Zhao works is in the center of the island.
She blurted out subconsciously: "Why buy so many things?"
Will I be able to live through the future?
However, she wisely didn't say the rest of the words, but the expression on her face already showed what she was thinking.
Even the family members of the troops who come to the island for the first time will not buy so much.
Could it be that...Mother Xu took advantage of her daughter's pregnancy and forced Mother Zhou to buy it?
As soon as this thought came into Aunt Zhao's mind, she dismissed it. After all, Xu's mother was not that kind of person.
Others thought so too, but their guesses were different.
As if she could see their confusion, Mother Zhou stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Xia Xia has been married to my boy for so long, and I, as his mother-in-law, have never expressed anything."
"It's so hard to come here once, I can only try my best to make it up to her."
Didn't you express your gratitude? Then what about the large and small packages you sent me before? Were they found?
Everyone was at a loss for words, and silence filled the air for a moment.
Zhou's mother seemed not to notice and continued, "It's a pity that there are still too few things in the supply and marketing cooperative. I didn't buy much..."
The regret in his tone could not be controlled and overflowed.
Aunt Zhao seemed to be hesitant to speak, with an expression that was hard to describe.
These things are too few. Does she want to empty the supply and marketing cooperative?
Who said before that Zhou's mother disliked Xu Zhixia? If this was dislike, she hoped her mother-in-law would also dislike her.
Mother Zhou sighed helplessly: "My mother-in-law won't let me buy more, saying that we have everything at home."
"They are just too frugal. Our Zhou family is so lucky to have a family like Xia Xia."
She was eloquent and praised the Xu family to the highest level ever.
Xu's mother was completely confused when she heard this. Is she that powerful?
Everyone was in a daze and found it difficult to react.
It was not until Xu's mother and Zhou's mother had walked away that they came to their senses.
He let out a long sigh, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
This Xu Zhixia...is so lucky.
On the way home, Xu's mother still sighed: "Sister Zhou, you don't have to be like this."
"Outsiders can say whatever they want, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
Before Xu Zhixia got married, she had only one request for Xia Xia's in-laws: don't be too harsh.
Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother not only satisfied this point, but also completely exceeded her expectations.
From now on, she no longer has to worry about Xia Xia's relationship with her mother-in-law.
Mother Zhou smiled and comforted her, "It should be like this."
"I rarely come here in the first place, so don't let outsiders think that our Zhou family doesn't value Xia Xia."
After a pause, a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people trying to take advantage of the situation and dare to attack Xia Xia."
Thinking of what she had heard from Zhou An before, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Before she leaves, all potential dangers must be resolved.
Zhou's mother didn't explain it clearly, but Xu's mother understood what she meant and couldn't help but feel moved.
I returned home and found Xu Zhixia and told her everything that happened today.
Xu Zhixia was stunned. She knew that Zhou's mother was good to her, but she didn't expect her to be so good.
If her mother hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known all that Zhou's mother had done for her.
"Xia Xia, you must be nicer to your mother-in-law in the future."
Mother Xu spoke earnestly, her eyes filled with seriousness.
Xu Zhixia nodded without hesitation and said firmly: "I will."
If someone treats her well, she will return the favor.
Isn’t it that when people get along with each other, they should put themselves in each other’s shoes?
When Xu's mother was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhou's mother's voice came from outside: "Xia Xia, can I come in?"
Xu Zhixia hurriedly got up, stood up and opened the door.
The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a gentle smile: "Mom, just come in, you don't have to knock next time."
Zhou's mother disagreed and said, "How can that be possible? Everyone has their own privacy."
Her eyes fell on Xu's mother who was sitting in the room, and she greeted her, "Mother-in-law is here too."
Mother Xu stood up and said with a smile: "Just before leaving, I had a chat with Xia Xia."
"Mother-in-law, you two can talk if you have something to say."
After he finished speaking, he walked out without waiting for Zhou's mother to speak, and did not forget to close the door for them.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhou's mother's eyes. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Xu's mother staying.
But since the person has already left, there is no need to call him back.
She looked at Xu Zhixia, took out the small box she had brought, and stuffed it into Xu Zhixia's hand.
Looking at the wooden jewelry box in front of him, Xu Zhixia's eyes flashed with doubt, and a rough guess emerged in his mind.
But she didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou's mother.
A trace of sadness flashed across Zhou's mother's eyes, and she said, "This should have been given to you when you married Zhou An."
"But after much thought, I decided that a face-to-face meeting would be the best option, so I delayed it until today."
Under Zhou's mother's encouraging gaze, Xu Zhixia hesitated for a moment and opened the box in her hand.
When she saw what was inside, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Inside the box is a mutton-fat jade bracelet, the bright green color of which shows that it is the finest jadeite.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but there seemed to be something surging inside.
Mother Zhou introduced it with nostalgia: "This is a family heirloom of the Zhou family, but the difference is that it is given to each generation of daughters-in-law."
Xu Zhixia suddenly looked up and looked at Zhou's mother in disbelief.
Mother Zhou smiled calmly: "Xia Xia, I will hand it over to you today."
Xu Zhixia's hoarse voice rang out: "Mom, this is too..."
Just as he was about to refuse, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted forcefully by Zhou's mother.
"Xia Xia, this should have belonged to you."
Her tone was filled with the flavor of not being able to refuse: "You are not only Xu Zhixia, but also a member of our Zhou family."
"If Zhou An lets you down in the future, you can just smash the bracelet."
Xu Zhixia was shocked. She didn't expect Zhou's mother to say such a thing.
She knew very well that the more important reason was that Zhou's mother valued her.
She felt tears welling in her eyes and a surge of emotion in her heart.
After a moment of silence, a firm voice rang out in the air: "Thank you, Mom."
Mother Zhou raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, and touched Xu Zhixia's soft hair.
