In the previous life, after Wu Meiyu died.
Liang Xiaohe sold the several embroidered handkerchiefs that Wu Meiyun had kept at the bottom of her box for tens of thousands of yuan.
It was the mid-1980s, when 10,000 yuan was enough to make one a well-known "ten thousand yuan household". After Liang Xiaohe sold her handkerchiefs, she became a big star in Taohua Town.
After hearing about this, Zhao Zhenzhu realized that her mother Wu Meiyun's embroidery was actually at the master level.
With a box of precious jewelry and master-level embroidery skills, Zhao Zhenzhu felt that her mother was not an ordinary person.
Zhao Zhenzhu's question stunned Wu Meiyun.
Just after the movement, words like "wealthy family" were still taboo.
"Zhenzhu, don't have any wild thoughts. Your grandpa is just a small peddler." Wu Meiyu warned.
Seeing Zhao Zhenzhu's face full of disbelief, Wu Meiyun sighed and said, "My grandmother did have some background, but that was all in the past. She died not long after liberation."
"Before my grandmother died, she gave me my dowry and asked me to keep it. She said that women have a much harder time than men in this world, and having a little dowry would give me more confidence."
"Zhenzhu, don't think that just because I gave you the dowry, you are taking advantage of your brother. In our Wu family, daughters should be given more dowries when they get married, and men should rely on themselves to establish their careers. A promising man can earn what he wants by himself. Those who rely on my dowry to live are useless."
"Mom, you are so nice to me." Zhao Zhenzhu hugged Wu Meiyun's arm, bent down and rubbed her head on Wu Meiyun's shoulder.
Zhao Tianyu also knew about the dowry.
At that time, Zhao Tianyu also said: "Sister, I am a boy, I have to earn what I want. You are a girl, you have a dowry, you are confident."
Zhao Zhenzhu felt very happy. Her parents and brother all treated her like a treasure.
"You are our biological daughter. If we don't treat you well, who can we treat well?" Wu Meiyun said unhappily, "You are just taking advantage of your father and I being soft on you, and that's why you keep hurting us."
"Mom, I won't do that again. I'll listen to you." Zhao Zhenzhu pulled Wu Meiyun's arm and shook it gently.
"You're almost thirty years old, and you're still acting like a spoiled child." Wu Meiyu's tone was full of disgust, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Even if we live to be a hundred years old, my brother and I will still be mom and dad's good children, and we will still act like spoiled brats when necessary," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"Oh my, please stop being shameless. Look, I'm getting goose bumps." Wu Meiyu raised the back of her hand and placed it in front of Zhao Zhenzhu, speaking in a deliberately exaggerated tone.
“Hehehe…” Zhao Zhenzhu smiled foolishly.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't plan to keep the things in the box for herself. However, Zhao Zhenzhu would not tell Wu Meiyun now.
Because Wu Meiyu won't agree.
In Wu Meiyu's heart, work is more valuable than the box.
Zhao Zhenzhu planned to give half of the contents of the box to her brother once the policy became clear.
It would be fair if the mother's dowry were divided equally between her sons and her daughters.
"By the way, did you bring the box back when you went back to your parents' home this time? Did you lock your door?" Wu Meiyu asked.
Wu Meiyu knew that Ding Ermei was someone who never got enough of taking advantage of others.
She was really worried that when Zhao Zhenzhu was not at home, Ding Ermei would go to Zhao Zhenzhu's room and steal the box.
The things in that box were passed down from Wu Meiyun's ancestors. Regardless of their value, they cannot be thrown away just for their heritage significance.
"I have it with me! Don't worry, mom. I won't give Mrs. Ding the chance to steal my things. The door is locked." Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"You~! How can you call your mother-in-law Mrs. Ding? If people hear it, they will think that our Zhao family has poor family education." Wu Meiyu frowned.
"I said this in front of my mother. She's gone too far. She's not satisfied with taking advantage of me, and she even wants to step on me." Zhao Zhenzhu pouted. Seeing Wu Meiyu's displeasure, Zhao Zhenzhu finally did not call Ding Ermei "Mrs. Ding" again, but used the word "she" instead.
In the previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu and her two sons ended up like that, and Ding Ermei played a "great role".
In this life, Zhao Zhenzhu would never call Ding Ermei "Mom" again no matter what.
"You~!" Wu Meiyun stretched out her finger and poked Zhao Zhenzhu's forehead, saying angrily: "I told you not to get married but you insisted on getting married. Now you've suffered a great loss. Who can you blame?"
"Mom, I was wrong." Zhao Zhenzhu admitted her mistake quickly.
"Many things cannot be resolved by just saying they are wrong..." Wu Meiyu began a long speech.
Zhao Zhenzhu listened attentively.
In her previous life, Wu Meiyu had said the same thing to Zhao Zhenzhu, and Zhao Zhenzhu felt very embarrassed at the time.
In this life, Zhao Zhenzhu felt that Wu Meiyu's teachings contained a lot of life wisdom.
The same words, when heard by Zhao Zhenzhu in a different state of mind, would have very different feelings.
While Wu Meiyu and Zhao Zhenzhu were talking, Zhou Yunyun was having fun on the side.
The flowers at grandma's house are so beautiful! I really want them.
Zhou Yunyun wanted to pick flowers, but was afraid of being scolded by Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhou Yunyun looked back and saw that Zhao Zhenzhu and Wu Meiyun were not looking at her. In the end, Zhou Yunyun couldn't resist the desire in her heart, and secretly plucked a small piece of golden chrysanthemum petals and put it to her nose to smell it.
Huh? How come such a beautiful flower doesn't smell good?
It also smells a bit.
Zhou Yunyun threw the petals to the ground in disgust, and rubbed the fingers that had pinched the petals hard on her clothes.
There was a group of ants crawling on the ground. After the chrysanthemum petals fell to the ground, a small ant bravely picked them up and crawled into the nest.
Zhou Yunyun squatted on the ground and watched the ants. As she watched, her short legs followed the ants and moved towards the door step by step.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, a pair of feet wearing black leather shoes appeared in front of Zhou Yunyun.
Zhou Yunyun looked up and saw her aunt Liang Xiaohe's face, which showed no sign of joy or anger.
"Hello, uncle... aunt!" Zhou Yunyun greeted timidly.
Zhou Yunyun is lawless in front of her uncle, but she dares not act presumptuously in front of her aunt Liang Xiaohe.
Liang Xiaohe has a round face and two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, making her look very amiable.
But somehow, Zhou Yunyun was very afraid of her.
"Yunyun is here? Who brought you here?" Liang Xiaohe bent down and greeted Zhou Yunyun with a smile.
"My mother brought me here." After Zhou Yunyun finished speaking, she ran to the yard on her short legs, shouting as she ran: "Mom, mom, my aunt is back."
Liang Xiaohe looked at Zhou Yunyun's back, and an inexplicable look flashed across his face.
"Sister, long time no see. Tianyu said you wouldn't come the day before yesterday, and I felt a little sad. Fortunately, you finally brought Yunyun here today. Otherwise, my parents would be so sad!" After entering the room, Liang Xiaohe started talking to Zhao Zhenzhu.
