When Wang Qin heard the other party's conditions, she immediately thought they were pretty good. The salary was quite high, and many people hadn't seen the offer and didn't know what the other party looked like. It wouldn't hurt to find time to meet them.
Next, two other middle-aged women spoke up, each listing their own circumstances, which were no less favorable than the first woman's. One of them was a teacher. In Wang Qin's eyes, this was a secure job; the only drawback was her age—almost 28. If she agreed to date, they would have to get engaged the following year. Their arrangement, according to them, involved moving in together before registering their marriage.
Wang Qin suddenly felt that her daughter had become more valuable than before. With so many men of good qualities, she had to choose carefully.
Ignoring Qiao Lingling's objections, she then went to a corner to chat with these people.
Qiao Lingling was so angry that she had no choice but to go out and ask around to find out where Song Min lived. Everyone around her had taken their seats and were about to eat.
If we can find someone to discuss this with him again, we might be able to ruin Qiao Xiaoni's reputation and make her unable to act arrogantly anymore.
Qiao Xiaoni was unaware of all the events that had transpired outside; she was changing her clothes inside. A string of firecrackers would be set off before the banquet, and she and Su Chenhao would be giving a speech in front of everyone.
Li Meihua took a jewelry box out of the cabinet: "Guess what's inside?"
Qiao Xiaoni glanced at the wooden box; it was carved on the outside and clearly not a cheap item. She stepped forward and asked, "Mom, you didn't give me your own jewelry, did you?"
"You guessed half right." Li Meihua walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down mysteriously. Before opening the window, she glanced back at it and, finding no one there, opened it. With her back to the window, no one could see what she was holding.
Qiao Xiaoni watched as the box was opened, revealing a dazzling array of gold. Good heavens! Gold bracelets, gold rings, necklaces, and earrings were all there. They were clearly newly made pieces of jewelry. They weren't very big, but in this day and age, they were definitely valuable pieces of gold.
"Is this for me?"
Li Meihua closed the box: "This is your dowry. We'll take it out to show everyone later, so Xiao Su knows you have a dowry."
"Mom, these things are too expensive, I can't accept them." Qiao Xiaoni refused without hesitation. This pile of things must cost several hundred yuan, which must have been all the money the old couple had saved up, and they had spent it all on her.
She was deeply moved, feeling that her efforts had not been in vain.
Li Meihua's face fell: "This is for you. If you don't take it, are you still my daughter?"
Besides, this includes not only us, but also your brother and sister-in-law's heartfelt wishes.
"Why didn't you... discuss this with me first?" Qiao Xiaoni felt a lot of pressure. She had just finished getting everything sorted out at home, and then they gave her another surprise.
Her daughter's tone softened noticeably. Li Meihua smiled: "If you refuse everyone's kind gesture, you won't be able to return it."
"You might as well accept it now; if anything unexpected happens later, you can use it to your advantage."
Qiao Xiaoni knew that if she didn't accept it, she didn't know what kind of trouble awaited her.
"Fine, I'll take it first and compensate them double later." With that thought, he stepped forward and took the box, saying, "I'll accept it. If you change your mind, you can come to me."
"Haha! You're really something, girl. Other people's children are eager to get something nice from their parents to take back to their husband's family. But you're treating this little thing like a hot potato."
"Your father and I will never take back what we've given you, so don't even think about doing anything funny!" Li Meihua's last sentence carried a warning; she would never take back what she had given away. She had seen all that her daughter had done for the family!
