Wu Guoliang looked at the box in his wife's hand and asked Su Yue with a puzzled expression, "Sister-in-law, what did you give her?"
Fu Shen naturally knew what Su Yue had put in the box. He remained silent, simply watching them quietly.
Su Yue did not reach out to take the box back, but instead reached out and slowly closed the lid.
Wang Xiaohua only saw the items on top and didn't notice the money under the box.
After closing the box, she smiled and answered Wu Guoliang's question: "It's a nice gift for my future nephews and nieces."
Wu Guoliang stepped over and said, "What good stuff is this? Let me see. We can't accept anything too valuable."
He already guessed that it must be a very valuable item, otherwise his wife wouldn't have been so eager to return it in front of him.
Just as Wang Xiaohua was about to hand the box to Wu Guoliang, Su Yue quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "Second sister-in-law has already looked at it once, you can't open it again."
She thought to herself, if she looked any longer, she would be exposed. Her second brother and sister-in-law were different; he had sharp eyes and could spot the money hidden under the box at a glance.
Wu Guoliang chuckled and said, "Then you can tell me, right?"
Wang Xiaohua knew in her heart that the things inside were for the child. When she heard Su Yue say that they could not be opened again, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She had always cared a lot about this hard-won child.
She looked at Su Yue, her eyes full of inquiry: "Then what do you say?"
Su Yue frowned, pretending to be very troubled: "I think it's okay to talk about it."
Bar?
Wang Xiaohua shook her head, her eyes hardening: "No need to say anything, I know that's enough."
Wu Guoliang looked both amused and exasperated: "...Wife, I can't even know."
Wang Xiaohua nodded earnestly: "For the sake of our child, you don't need to know for now."
Su Yue smiled knowingly: "Second sister-in-law means she's willing to accept it."
Wang Xiaohua opened her mouth, then hesitated, "I..."
Su Yue continued, "These things are for your future nephews and nieces. As their mother, you can't refuse their aunt's first gift to them before they can even speak."
Wang Xiaohua pursed her lips and remained silent.
She knew she couldn't, but the contents weren't simply made of two or three red ropes; they were made of real silver. The sentiment behind it was too heavy for her to accept with a clear conscience.
Seeing this, Su Yue took her arm and gently shook it, her voice soft and sweet: "Second sister-in-law, please accept it."
At this moment, Fu Shen spoke up, "Second Brother is being too polite to us, and Second Sister-in-law is doing the same. If you all act like this, Yueyue and I will feel embarrassed to go back to the village in the future."
Wu Guoliang looked bewildered: "Why are you embarrassed?"
Fu Shen made up a story in a serious tone: "After all, we don't have a house there. If we come back, we'll eat the grain that my second brother and sister-in-law have worked so hard to grow. We'll eat most of it as soon as we get back."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Su Yue, his eyes filled with a smile: "Yueyue, when we go back to Second Brother's house in the future, we'll have to work a little harder, carrying grain back with us. We can't let Second Brother suffer a loss."
Wu Guoliang and Wang Xiaohua were stunned by Fu Shen's words.
Su Yue suppressed a laugh and replied seriously, "I understand."
Wu Guoliang snapped out of his daze, glared at Fu Shen, and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? You actually said you were carrying grain back?"
He thought to himself, if Fu Shen and Su Yue really brought back grain when they returned to the village, where would he put his face?
Fu Shen shrugged. "We offered small gifts, but my second sister-in-law didn't want to accept them. I can only follow your example, second brother."
Wu Guoliang sighed helplessly and looked at Wang Xiaohua, "Wife, accept it."
Su Yue and Fu Shen exchanged a glance, a knowing smile flashing in their eyes.
