Shen Yao was surprised, and immediately held her hands and said, "Mom, you keep these things and pass them on to your two sisters-in-law, so that they can be passed on to the family. It's not appropriate for you to give me the dowry that your grandmother gave you."
My grandmother's surname is Jiang. This set of jewellery is made entirely of jadeite, of the top-grade blue-aqua green. There is not a single impurity in the whole set of jewellery. You don't have to think about its value, you know it is a priceless treasure.
Furthermore, as it has been passed down from generation to generation as a Jiang family heirloom, one can imagine how extraordinary its significance is.
That's exactly what she couldn't accept.
As Grandma Jiang's cousin, it was natural for Gao Shujuan to inherit the Jiang family's heirlooms.
But she is not a child of the Zheng family, and she has no blood relationship with the Jiang family or the Tang family. How can she feel at ease if she accepts it?
Gao Shujuan said with a smile, "Silly child, what your eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law should have gotten was already handed over to them by me on the day they married into the Zheng family.
This set of jade is different. It has been passed down in the Jiang family for ten generations! And the Jiang family has a tradition that this set of jewelry is only passed down to girls, not boys. It can only be passed down to the daughters of each generation!
In the past, I always thought that if I could give birth to a daughter, then there would be a successor. Unfortunately, it was not as I wished, and I gave birth to three children, all boys.
At that time, I was still thinking that since I hadn’t given birth to a princess, this thing would probably end up in my hands.
Until I met you, I had the urge to recognize you as my daughter. And it has finally found a successor, so you can just keep it with peace of mind."
As she spoke, she held Shen Yao in her arms, gently rubbed her head and said, "Yaoyao, you have to know one thing, from the moment you served tea to me and your father and changed your words, you, Shen Yao, are my Gao Shujuan's biological daughter.
In my eyes, you are not an outsider, but my precious daughter. You can take this thing, and only you can pass it on! Unless you don’t regard me as your mother, that’s why you don’t want to accept it. "
Shen Yao shook her head and explained to Gao Shujuan. "No, in my heart, you and dad are my parents! And grandpa and everyone in the family are my family and relatives. This is an inseparable relationship! I just feel that you gave me such a precious thing, and I am unworthy of it!"
After hearing this, Gao Shujuan regained her smile and said, "In that case, you should accept it! You said it yourself, I am your mother, so as a mother, what's wrong with giving a dowry to your daughter?
What's more, this matter was agreed upon by your grandmother, so there is no question of whether you should feel guilty or not.
Just take it and try to give birth to a little princess for us as soon as possible, so that this inheritance can find its next owner, ah!"
Hearing the other party's last few words, Shen Yao was moved, but also felt embarrassed.
Well, this is the second elder who has urged her to give birth to a daughter as soon as possible today.
Zheng Rongli listened to the conversation outside the door. He waited until the mother and daughter finished talking before knocking on the door and walking in.
He looked at Shen Yao, his eyes overflowing with a trace of doting, and said, "Yaoyao, your mother is right, you should accept the dowry given by your family, and don't feel burdened, you deserve it. Besides, you are the daughter of Shujuan and me, you deserve this inheritance!"
"Okay, I understand." Shen Yao looked at the two people and nodded in response. Then, she solemnly thanked Zheng Rongli and Gao Shujuan, "Dad, Mom, thank you!"
Thank you for being so kind to me, and thank you for your trust and love for me!!
Gao Shujuan looked at Zheng Rongli and said with a smile, "If I had known your words would work so well, I would have waited for you to come back. I talked here for so long before, and my daughter was still hesitant. But you came in and said a few words, and it was settled."
Hearing this, Zheng Rongli smiled slightly and said, "That only shows that what you said didn't hit the point."
It wasn't as powerful as my words, but he didn't dare to say the last half of the sentence.
"Hey, I'm telling you, you become cocky when I compliment you a few times." Gao Shujuan became unhappy when she heard this and cursed with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, can I come in?" Zheng Chengyi knocked on the door and leaned his head to ask the people inside.
Zheng Rongli turned around, nodded, and waved for his youngest son to come in.
After getting his father's permission, Zheng Chengyi's eyes lit up and he smiled happily.
He was holding a small box and came in skipping on his short legs.
Zheng Chengyi walked up to Shen Yao, put the box in her hand, and said with a smile, "Sister, this is for you. It's my wedding gift to you!"
He spent a long time searching through his treasure chest before picking it out.
This pair of jade pendants is his favorite and most satisfying item, and is especially suitable to be given to his sister as a wedding gift!
Shen Yao raised her lips and said with a smile, "Thank you, our little Yibao!"
The boy has grown up in the past two years, and has grown a lot taller, but his body is still chubby. Especially his chubby, white and tender face, which makes people want to reach out and touch it.
"You're welcome!"
Zheng Chengyi waved his hands, and the movement of his hands was like that of an adult. Coupled with his childlike smile, he instantly made everyone in the room laugh.
Seeing this, Zheng Chengyi couldn't help but blink. His eyes rolled around, and he couldn't understand what he had said wrong and why everyone was making fun of him.
He added in a soft voice, "Sister and Brother Jin Mo should be happy!"
Shen Yao responded to him with a gentle smile on her lips.
Afterwards, Gao Shujuan told Shen Yao about the dowry they had prepared, and asked her to count it after she finished her wedding and returned home.
After giving all the instructions, she stood up and walked out with Zheng Rongli, while Zheng Chengyi stayed in the room to talk to Shen Yao.
Not long after Gao Shujuan and Zheng Rongli left, several sisters-in-law from the family came in together.
Seeing her sisters-in-law coming in, Shen Yao quickly stood up and asked them to sit down on the sofa. There were several pregnant women here, and she couldn't afford to tire them out.
Everyone did not stay in the house for long. They talked to Shen Yao for a while. Then everyone gave their gifts and blessings and left one after another.
"Yaoyao, the wedding date is coming soon, are you nervous?" Zhou Qi asked Shen Yao with a smile after delivering the wedding gift.
Shen Yao smiled generously, "No, I don't feel anything in my heart."
Seeing her smiling face, Zhou Qi couldn't help but remind her, "Xiao Qiu told me yesterday that Tang Yunhao will not be the welcoming group for Jun Jinmo this time, but will be your in-laws and give the groom difficult problems."
Thinking of Tang Yunhao, for some reason, she always felt that the questions he asked would not be difficult for Jun Jinmo at all.
The main event will begin tomorrow!
