Seeing that Ji Yanqing didn't reply, He Lanzhi continued, "Brother-in-law, the girl's family is so rich, you won't move into the girl's courtyard after you get married, right?"
Old Ji rolled his eyes at He Lanzhi. He thought his eldest grandson had really made a bad choice in marrying a daughter-in-law. He was also in a high position and had great power. Why had he let her marry him in the first place?
I wish I had chosen a daughter-in-law for my grandson who is of equal status, well-educated, gentle, virtuous and steady.
"My family's Yanqing values Xiao Lu as a person, not his family's money. Before this family was divided, the couple also lived at home, in the west wing."
Ji Huaili echoed, "Our family hasn't split up, so of course they live at home. The yard in Yan Qing's hands has been rented out a long time ago, and it won't expire until May next year."
He Lanzhi continued, "My sister-in-law has so much dowry. The three rooms in the west wing wouldn't be enough to store it, right?"
Ji Yanru smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you think there is no place to put the second sister-in-law's dowry, you can make room for her dowry."
Their yard is so big, but they still say there is no place to put the dowry. My sister-in-law has no sense of propriety at all. After all, they are a prominent family.
Their Ji family's ancestors not only produced a first-rank official, but also a general. Not to mention her grandfather was in a high position and had great power, so ordinary people rarely saw him.
My eldest sister-in-law was very lucky to marry into their family. It would be fine if she didn't appreciate her blessings, but she is short-sighted and petty. My eldest brother was ruined by him, otherwise he would have been promoted long ago.
Ji Yanru didn't want to interfere in her mother's family affairs, but she also didn't want anyone to destroy their Ji family.
Xu Hui glared at Ji Yanru and said, "Just go home and pick up your son. Why are you saying so much? Well, Ke Ke is back too. You can take him home first!"
Ji Yanru smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I want to see the betrothal gift that the Lu family gave to my second brother."
"Go away, you're talking nonsense again. What do you mean by betrothal gift? That's the engagement gift the Lu family gives to their son-in-law."
Ji Yanqing looked indifferent. Even if it was said to be a betrothal gift, he would not have any objection. The Lu family was very reasonable.
His mother-in-law is very satisfied with him, and his father-in-law naturally has no objection to him. Their relationship is better than that of his own parents.
In their family, his mother always served his father, who couldn't even cook a meal. But his father-in-law, although he was now a division commander in a military region, was like a different person in front of his mother-in-law.
In front of so many guests, he would personally pour wine and serve food to his mother-in-law, and he would not interrupt her when she was speaking in a chauvinistic manner.
His father is a big boss, and his parents work in the same company. Not only does his mother listen to his father at work, but she also listens to him when she gets home...
Ji Yanqing began to feel a little sympathy for his mother. Although they had a nanny, his mother was very proactive in doing things like serving tea, water, and newspapers, and she did them very well. He thought that his father only had a good-looking face, but was actually not considerate at all.
They really want to fight and be beaten, but as a child, he can't interfere in his parents' affairs.
Look at my mother, she is only a few years older than my mother-in-law, but they look like they are more than ten years apart in age.
Ji Huaili saw the look of disdain in his youngest son's eyes. What did that mean? Now that he had a father-in-law, he looked down on his own father?
Ji Huaili said: "If your sister wants to see the engagement ceremony your father-in-law gave you, show it to her."
Ji Yanqing opened the suitcase and gently took out the small boxes one by one.
Ji Yanru opened a jewelry box and looked at the emerald green bracelet. She said excitedly, "Is this the legendary imperial green?"
He Lanzhi squeezed in, looking like she knew a lot, "Isn't this just like a beer bottle?"
Ji Yanru chuckled: "You can also make a string of beer bottles for my brother."
Madam Ji also came over and put on her reading glasses to examine it carefully over and over again. "This bracelet is emerald green, rich in color, full of water, transparent in texture, and highly translucent. It is a top-grade glass-type imperial green jadeite. Each bead is plump and round, very rare."
He Lanzhi never expected that the old lady, who rarely appreciated anything, would be interested in this string of glass beads.
"Brother-in-law, grandma likes this string of beads so much, you can give it to her."
Ji Yanlin roared, "What nonsense are you talking about? My grandma has seen all kinds of treasures."
Madam Ji put down the beads, picked up the zodiac plaque, looked at it, and asked Ji Yanqing, "Is your mother-in-law in the jewelry business?"
"Well, a few years ago, my mother-in-law bought this piece of Imperial Green Jadeite rough stone in Myanmar. This piece of material was the highest bidder that year.
She opened a jewelry store in Hong Kong and also has an investment company. Rourou's second uncle is in Hong Kong to help her manage the business."
Ji Yanlin asked doubtfully, "How did Madam Lu make her fortune?"
"I heard from Rourou that my mother-in-law started writing to earn money when she was in college. Her serial novels were very popular. In the 1960s, she was already a millionaire.
During the special period, he used the money to buy a lot of antique collections. Later, he started doing business, growing flowers and herbs, engaging in breeding, opening shops and restaurants, and his business grew bigger and bigger.
In the early days of reform and opening up, she brought the finest orchids grown at the base to Hong Kong for auction. Later, she entered the stock market and reportedly made hundreds of millions. Later, she opened a jewelry store and got involved in real estate. No one knows how much she is worth now.
Everyone in the Ji family was shocked when they heard this. He Lanzhi suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon. Her family was far inferior to Lu Yiru's family. Now she had even less say in this family.
The Ji family is powerful and influential, and the Lu family is powerful and influential, and most importantly, rich. How can she compare with them?
Xu Hui took a deep breath and said, "I heard that my mother-in-law worked as a military doctor for a few years, but she gave up her stable job to take care of the triplets."
Madam Ji narrowed her eyes and said in a light tone, "This shows that she is far-sighted and knows how to make choices. Between work and children, she chose children.
Her children are all very talented and good-looking. She threw away her stable job and made a golden one for herself. A truly capable person can thrive even in adversity.
Ji Yanru took Old Lady Ji's arm and said, "Grandma, when you were young, you must have been as capable as any man. You were really admirable."
"You're just a naughty monkey who only knows how to talk sweetly. Back then, I wasn't as good as them. We couldn't do anything. We were lucky enough to be able to hold on to our little fortune."
Ji Ya put down the fruit in her hand and came over, "Grandma, I want that string of beads."
Xu Hui quickly covered the box and said, "Don't play with this casually. This is your second uncle's treasure."
"No, I want the baby. Can you let me wear it for a while, just for a while? I will return it to you tomorrow."
Ji Yanqing picked up Ji Ya and coaxed her in a low voice: "If you like beads, uncle will take you to buy them next time. You can't wear this."
Mr. Ji said, "Yanqing, you'd better report the engagement gift the woman gave you to your superiors to avoid misunderstandings."
Once you enter public office, there are many things you cannot touch, and you cannot make mistakes of principle.
Fortunately, Yan Qing was not the legal representative of the company he opened abroad in partnership with others. When he returned to China to start work, he wrote the company he opened abroad in his resume and told them that he had withdrawn from that company.
