A clear, melodious voice rang out, and for some reason, Ding Jiajia felt incredibly at ease upon hearing it.
Fan Erzhu suddenly turned around and saw his second aunt walking towards him step by step.
She was holding a fluffy, pink flower in her hand, which was much better than the silk flower in his hand!
His silk flowers cost sixteen coins, while these kinds of velvet flowers usually cost fifty or sixty coins. He looked down on the cloth flowers that Ding Jiajia wore, and now it's common for others to look down on his silk flowers as well.
He looked at his mother and grandmother at the back of the crowd, secretly blaming them. If they hadn't been so stingy with their money, he wouldn't have been outdone by them now if he had bought the velvet flower!
Fan's mother, standing at the back of the crowd, had a face full of reproach.
This daughter-in-law always ruins her good fortune and blocks her grandson's good marriage!
She's just a girl from another family, and becoming her nephew's wife isn't a bad thing for her. What kind of ulterior motives does she have to sabotage things? She really doesn't understand anything.
Fine, if Hu Shuiqing dares to ruin this marriage, she won't let her live a peaceful life...
Shuiqing saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and without even thinking, she knew what they were up to. She also saw the vicious resentment on her mother-in-law's face, but it didn't matter. She had never received a kind word since becoming her daughter-in-law, so she didn't care how much resentment she received.
She walked up to Ding Jiajia and said with a smile, "This is something I asked my younger brother to bring back from the city. He's not good at choosing colors, so it doesn't look right on me. But it's a color that would suit any delicate young lady like you, so I brought it here for you. Do you like it?"
If you like it, accept it; if you don't, that's fine too. Giving gifts is ultimately about the recipient's preference.
The last sentence was a veiled mockery of Fan Erzhu.
Fan Erzhu's face was extremely ugly.
He disliked that Ding Jiajia's sky blue color was inappropriate, saying that girls should only wear pink. But his second aunt said that she herself looked unsuitable in such a delicate color, while it was more appropriate for young girls.
He belittled Ding Jiajia, but the second aunt belittled herself; it's obvious who is superior and who is inferior.
He insisted that Ding Jiajia accept the gifts he gave her, but his second aunt's words made the villagers realize that Ding Jiajia had to like them, and his second aunt's gifts clearly overshadowed his!
"Shuiqing is right. I said, Erzhu, if Jiajia doesn't like you, don't force her to give you flowers. Maybe she just doesn't like silk flowers?"
"It's not necessarily that they don't like silk flowers; it mainly depends on who's giving them to them! You can't just accept these things randomly."
I don't know if it's indiscriminate or not, but if it were me, who would want silk flowers when there are velvet flowers?
...
Zhang Chunhua, standing in the crowd, looked at Ronghua with envy and swallowed hard.
Those three fluffy flowers side by side are so pretty.
It immediately outshone the silk flowers in Fan Erzhu's hands! No wonder people often say you get what you pay for; the expensive one is indeed of high quality.
She glanced at the silk flower in Fan Erzhu's hand, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain, as if it were a second-best choice.
Fan Erzhu didn't even look at Zhang Chunhua in the crowd. He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at his aunt, and turned to leave.
