Chapter 125 Just Take It If It's Given To You
Yang Fugui was stunned. "Really give it to the third son's wife? Didn't you say that whoever is filial in the future will get it?"
"Then Xin Bai is still not filial?"
"But it's only been a short time, aren't you a little anxious?"
Sun Erni gently lifted one side of the bed and carefully took out a jewelry box. She wiped off the dust on it with her hands and said with a smile, "I am willing to give it to you now. Do you want me to wait until I am buried before giving it to you?"
"Pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about! Say something nice." Yang Fugui quickly spat on the ground a few times.
Sun Erni ignored her husband and just gently twisted the box, and the lid opened. What came into view were two pairs of silver bracelets, yes, two pairs.
"Oh, you know how good mom is at hiding things. She only said she would pass on the family property to me when she was about to pass away. I have been hiding these three pairs of silver bracelets for so long, but I have never had a chance to wear them. What a pity."
Sun Erni reached out and took out a pair of silver bracelets with lotus patterns engraved on them, and whispered, "This is the best pair. Give this pair to Xinbai, and give the remaining one to Xiumin after she gets married."
Yang Fugui glanced at the jewelry box and said helplessly, "Before she died, Mom said that the three pairs of silver bracelets were for the three granddaughters-in-law. But you gave one pair to Xiufen and one pair to Xiumin, so the third daughter-in-law got the silver bracelet she deserved."
Sun Erni raised her head and replied confidently after hearing what her husband said, "So what? Mom can say whatever she wants, but now the things are in my hands, so I have the final say. Besides, I am not willing to give them to people like Li Huifen and Su Qiuyan. Also, it was wrong for me to leave them to Xiufen and Xiumin. Mom is getting old and confused. A granddaughter is not as close as a granddaughter-in-law."
Yang Fugui couldn't argue with her, so he could only shake his head and said, "I can't argue with you."
"If you can't argue, don't say anything. I'm warning you, don't say anything nonsense in front of them. This thing is mine. I can give it to whoever I want."
"Since you like the third sister's daughter so much, why don't you give her the pair of gold earrings that you treasure? Wouldn't it show your satisfaction with your daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law?" Yang Fugui pointed at the thing that was pressed at the bottom with only a little yellow color showing and said.
Sun Erni got nervous when she heard this and quickly protected the jewelry box. "Not really, it hasn't come to that. I was reluctant to give this pair of gold earrings to Xiufen and Xiumin. I was thinking about the chance to wear them someday!"
Yang Fugui shook his head, lay down on the bed, and reminded, "You, be careful, don't let the other two know, otherwise this family will have no peace."
Sun Erni reached out and patted Yang Fugui, saying with a smile: "As long as you don't say it, no one will know."
"Huh, this is putting pressure on me, right?"
"That's right. You're the most secretive person in our family. I know you won't tell anyone." Sun Erni smiled and straightened up, then urged, "Why are you lying down? Get up quickly. I need to put my things back."
After putting the jewelry box back, Sun Erni took the pair of lotus bracelets and put them into the pillowcase. She patted them hard with her hands and muttered, "It should be safe."
Yang Fugui glanced at the pillow and reminded: "If I'm going to give it to you, I'd better give it to you earlier, so that it won't be found out by others."
"I know, I'll give it to you tomorrow night. They have to work during the day!"
…
The next night, Sun Erni found an excuse to run out, and then trotted all the way to the courtyard.
"Jinsheng, Xinbai, open the door!"
This time Yang Jinsheng reacted quickly. He ran over as soon as he heard the voice. "Mom, why are you here so late at night? Are you cold? Come in quickly."
"I would like to come during the day, since you guys are not at home!" Sun Erni said as she walked into the house.
As soon as I entered the living room, I felt a warm air. I saw the charcoal basin on the ground and asked worriedly, "Where did the charcoal come from? You have to be careful when burning charcoal. Don't close the doors and windows too tightly, or you will get poisoned."
Jiang Xinbai, who was warming himself by the fire, stood up with a smile, "My third brother also said that when he brought the charcoal. We all know it."
"Oh, it's sent by your third brother. That's really thoughtful. This way Xiaobao won't be too cold. By the way, is Xiaobao used to going to daycare today, his first day?" Sun Erni walked into the room and looked at her eldest grandson with a rosy face while sleeping. Her face was full of love.
Jiang Xinbai helped to tuck in the corners of the quilt and replied with a smile: "The teacher in the daycare class said that Xiaobao is very well behaved. He must be used to it. But he pouted when I went to pick him up in the evening!" A seven-month-old child will indeed be scared when he suddenly leaves familiar people.
Sun Erni felt distressed when she heard Jiang Xinbai say this. She reached out and touched Yang Jiabao, "Oh, grandma's big baby, you are so pitiful. Wait, when your second aunt is out of confinement, grandma will come to take care of you. But why is your face so warm? Could it be that you have a fever?"
"No, it might be because of the heater. I put a heater in the bed and it's warm inside. How could his face not be warm?" Jiang Xinbai looked proud when she said this. She was smart. She was afraid that the child would be cold, so she asked her third brother to bring back a heater, which came in handy now.
"That's not all. Xiaobai also made a sleeping bag for Xiaobao and added cotton inside. Xiaobao sleeps so soundly." As Yang Jinsheng spoke, he deliberately lifted the quilt to show Sun Erni. She saw that the little guy lying inside was wearing a large and wide cloth bag. She reached out and touched his body, which was like a small stove.
"Wow, it's so warm! I was worried that you would make Xiaobao cold, but I didn't expect you guys are so good at it. This heater is not bad, it must be filled with red-hot charcoal!" Sun Erni was full of envy. She was fine, but her husband was very afraid of the cold. His hands and feet were cold all night. If he had this heater, he would be able to sleep well at night.
Jiang Xinbai knew who she was when she saw her mother-in-law's expression. She smiled and said, "Mom, I prepared one for you and Dad, and I was just about to give it to you! In fact, this thing is available in the countryside, but it needs to be filled with red-hot charcoal. We all use coal blocks in the corridor, and charcoal is not easy to get. But it doesn't matter, I have one here, you can use it first. We can burn some ourselves later."
Jiang Xinbai's words touched Sun Erni's heart. She rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite. Your father is afraid of the cold. With this warm stove, he can sleep well. By the way, Xinbai, this is from your mother. Keep it well and don't tell anyone. Keep it quietly."
"What is it, Mom?" Jiang Xinbai took the thing handed over by her mother-in-law and looked at it. "Silver bracelet? Mom, I can't take this. I'm not being nice to you for anything, right, Jinsheng?"
Yang Jinsheng stared at the bracelet and nodded honestly, "It's okay, Xiaobai, it's yours since mom gave it to you, just accept it!"
At the urging of her husband and mother-in-law, Jiang Xinbai accepted it with a blushing face. Sun Erni also got a warm bamboo heater and went home happily.
