This was practically a family heirloom; we only escaped disaster because we didn't know where we hid it back then.
The Sheng family is not short of money or gold jewelry, so they cannot accept this.
"No, in-laws, this is just a small token of our appreciation, nothing more."
These bracelets were originally a pair; the other one was given to the eldest son's wife. We only have two sons; these things will be theirs sooner or later, so it doesn't matter when they're given to us.”
Since the Jiang family had already given it up, they couldn't take it back, so Cao Yuqin insisted on giving it to them.
Zhang Shuzhen and Cao Yuqin were locked in a stalemate for a while, but Zhang Shuzhen couldn't win against Cao Yuqin in the end. In the end, she had no choice but to give instructions to Sheng Yunfang.
"Fourth brother, this is a gift from your in-laws, please keep it safe."
Remember, no matter what, this bracelet must not be damaged. And please, don't be so smug as to take it to a jewelry store to have it melted down and remade.
This was passed down from our ancestors, a family heirloom, to be left to our children.
Zhang Shuzhen deliberately said this in front of both families, which can be considered as expressing the Sheng family's attitude.
This is a token of the Jiang family elders' goodwill, and it would be impolite not to accept it. However, the Sheng family is not short of money or possessions, and they would never covet such a bracelet.
After exchanging betrothal gifts, the marriage between Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin was officially settled.
According to custom, on the day of the engagement, the bride's family must prepare a lavish banquet to entertain the groom's relatives and friends.
At this time of year, the weather in Shanghai is already very hot, and cooking at home is too troublesome with all the smoke and fumes, so the Sheng family booked a restaurant in advance.
The banquet at the restaurant was excellent, and everyone was quite satisfied with the food.
After the banquet, Jiang Yanbin first escorted his superiors back to their workplace before leaving with his parents.
On the Sheng family's side, Zhang Shuzhen arranged for Sheng Yunfei and Wu Yuhua to accompany Sheng Yunfang to deposit today's betrothal money and change of address money into the bank.
Sheng Yunfang kept the savings account herself and brought it back to their small home after the wedding to use for their future living expenses.
Sheng Liancheng was worried that it was almost time to start planting at home, and he couldn't stand staying away from home any longer; he had to hurry back.
Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua have jobs, and Sheng Xitai has to attend classes, so they can't take too long off.
Needless to say, Sheng Yunfei has two children at home, and even with a nanny taking care of them, she wouldn't feel at ease.
Therefore, on May 2nd, everyone set off and left Shanghai.
The three Sheng brothers accompanied their parents back to the capital. As mentioned before, Sheng Xiping wanted to look at houses, so as soon as they arrived in the capital, Sheng Xikang arranged for someone to come and show Sheng Xiping around.
The house the middleman found for me was indeed quite nice, with a three-courtyard layout, spacious inside, and the house was well-maintained.
This place was originally inhabited by officials and their descendants from the Qing Dynasty. In recent years, the building became an office for a certain organization.
Isn't there a policy now that returns property to its rightful owner? The homeowner used the old documents to get the house back.
