Chapter 210 211. Gift Giving
Gu Wenheng looked at the other brothers and said, "Brothers, do you think what Dad said makes sense?
After all, honoring our father is our brothers' responsibility. What do you think, why don't we all work together to get the money together?
Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be like our family is plotting against Jin's dowry, and then the clan will punish us brothers."
Gu brothers: "…" They dragged us into this again. I’m so angry that I can’t even find any words to refute.
Li Cuicui slammed the table and said, "Alright, stop talking. It will only be a joke if it gets out.
Since your father doesn't trust the doctors here, then you brothers should send him to the provincial capital to have a look. You must do whatever it takes to make him give up.
As for the money, I still have some money here, so you brothers don't have to worry about it."
Gu Wenheng's eyes flashed with apology, he raised his head and returned to normal, and said slowly, "Actually, we brothers can pool our money together. How much does it cost to see a doctor in the capital city?"
When saying this, no one dared to look at Gu Dashi's face. After all, he was the one who asked for a huge sum before. Otherwise, it would be just a few taels of silver, and maybe it wouldn't even be necessary. The brothers could have come up with the money by gritting their teeth.
Jin Qianqian lowered her eyes and listened quietly to this drama. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced in her heart that although the ancients were a little ignorant, this law was still very good. As long as the in-laws were not vicious, they would generally not touch the daughter-in-law's dowry.
Seeing that his sons did not refute him, Gu Dashi could only slam the table in anger and curse.
However, situations like this happen almost every day, and everyone has gotten used to it, so the family simply moved to the yard and continued chatting.
"Seventh Brother's wife, you're using a maid now." Li Xiaohua looked at Qingmei Qingzhu with envy, "How is it? You only need to speak and someone will help you do the work. It's very comfortable, right?"
Jin Qianqian didn't answer her. She took out the gift she brought this time and stuffed it directly into her hand. "Third sister-in-law, this is a popular Luo skirt in the south. Do you want to try it on?"
Li Xiaohua didn't even remember the question she had just asked. She looked at the colorful skirt in her hand and her face flushed with joy. "This is really for me."
Jin Qianqian nodded. "When I saw this skirt, I thought of you. Can you go and see if it fits?"
"Thank you, Seventh Master's wife." Li Xiaohua said shyly, feeling a little ashamed for having caused trouble before.
Jin Qianqian, "We are all daughters-in-law of the Gu family. Why should we thank you? Let's go and try it."
Turning around and looking at their expectant eyes, Jin Qianqian stuffed a skirt into each of their hands and said, "Go and try it on."
Some had new clothes, but no one had forgotten the jealousy at all. They all held the things in their arms and rushed to the house where Gu Yuanfeng was temporarily living.
"By the way, why don't I see our sister-in-law?" Hong Daya asked while changing clothes.
Liu Liu, "Who cares? But you reminded me. Wait, we should wear the clothes after trying them on. Otherwise, those shameless people will dare to ask you for them."
"Third sister-in-law, this skirt really suits you. It makes you look especially white." When Hong Daya saw Li Xiaohua dressed up, her eyes were full of envy. Among the sisters-in-law, Li Xiaohua was the best looking except Jin Qianqian.
"Really? It's a pity that I can't even see myself." Li Xiaohua happily turned around on the spot, "This old lady's wife really knows how to shop. This is a perfect fit."
Liu Liu also tried it on, "How is it? How do you like it on me?"
Li Xiaohua gave her a thumbs up and said, "Such a bright color really suits you. You are so beautiful."
Hong Daya nervously touched the hem of her skirt. This was the first time she wore such nice clothes. She was afraid that her hands were too rough and would scratch the skirt.
"Tsk, the fifth brother's wife has really become a different person. If you were walking on the street, I wouldn't even recognize you. You look like the wife of a wealthy family." In a good mood, Li Xiaohua praised her in a series of ways.
"Come on, let's go out and show those guys." Liu Liu also imitated Li Xiaohua and turned around in circles. Even if they couldn't see what he looked like now, the other two were so good-looking, so he wouldn't be much worse.
Jin Qianqian looked at Xie Ruyi, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go in and try?"
Xie Ruyi held the clothes in her arms. "I'm not in a good mood right now. Why are the Le family so troublesome? Not only do they owe you a lot of debt, but they even found such a wife to come back."
Jin Qianqian sympathized with her for a second, but she consoled her, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, this is what mother always says."
Who knew that Xie Ruyi's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she slapped her thigh fiercely, "How could I have forgotten about this? Sister-in-law, thank you."
Jin Qianqian was confused, "…Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for reminding me," Xie Ruyi was already thinking about something in her mind. She answered perfunctorily, turned around and ran over excitedly to drag Gu Yuanjin, who was chatting with her, and ran out.
The Gu family brothers: "..." Is this sister-in-law crazy?
"How is it? How is it? Does it look good?" Without letting the brothers think too much, Li Xiaohua and the others dressed up and appeared in the yard in unison.
Jin Qianqian never thinks too much about things that she can't understand. She sees that Qingmei and Qingzhu have already distributed the gifts for the younger generations, one for each person. The children who received the gifts were so happy that they didn't know what to do. This was the first gift they had ever received in their lives.
"This is too valuable," Gu Yuantu took the jade pendant that Gu Leshun stuffed into his hand. The lifelike carvings on it showed that it was worth a lot of money. He held it in both hands nervously, afraid that he would drop it.
Gu Wenheng took a look and found that these jade pendants were collected by Jin Qianqian in her original space. Although the water content was not very good, there was no such carving here, so they were worth some silver.
"It's okay. Just keep it if I give it to you." Gu Wenheng still said, "Le Shun is still young, Fifth Brother should keep it for him. It would be a pity if he lost it."
"Thank you, seventh brother's wife," Gu Yuantu saw his other nephews hiding the jade pendants in their arms, and could only smile and thank Jin Qianqian.
Gu Yuanhuo and Gu Yuanshui also reacted, stood up and thanked Jin Qianqian repeatedly.
Gu Wenheng, "..."
Gu Lehua looked at the silver bracelet in her hand, and then thought of the jade pendants in her brothers' hands. She felt that she was being treated differently. She held the bracelet in her hand and said, "Aunt Qi, I want the same thing as my brothers."
Jin Qianqian looked at the still unpleasant little girl in front of her, and then glanced at Liu Liu who had the same idea, "That won't do. These jade pendants are suitable for boys. Our little girl wearing a silver bracelet is not only beautiful, but also can calm the five internal organs, calm the mind, stop fright, and remove evil spirits. The benefits are no less than those of the jade pendants."
