Huo Xiao gestured for Ye Weiwei to go back to her room and rest, and then he helped move the table.
Seeing that she wasn't allowed to lift a finger, Ye Weiwei said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and second brother."
Su Xuemei waved her hand: "We're family, no need to be so formal. This is what we, as the older brother and sister-in-law, should do."
Huo Xiao's two older brothers also wouldn't let him get involved, dismissing him as well, saying, "Today you're the groom, you don't need to do any work."
Huo Xiao laughed as his brothers ushered him into their home to be with his wife.
Liu Guilan pulled Ye Weiwei back to the room, then took out a small wooden box from the kang cabinet and opened it. Inside was a pair of jade bracelets wrapped in silk.
Ye Weiwei glanced at it and was slightly surprised.
It turned out to be an old mine glass-type imperial green jadeite.
Its quality and appearance are comparable to the top-grade jade stones she has collected in her space.
I never expected that Liu Guilan had such a good collection.
Liu Guilan took Ye Weiwei's hand and was about to put the bracelet on her. Ye Weiwei felt it was inappropriate and was about to refuse when she heard Liu Guilan say, "You can't refuse a gift from an elder. This is from your mother. Keep it safe. If you don't like it, you can keep it to pass on to your children and grandchildren in the future."
Ye Weiwei then stopped refusing.
A cool, emerald-green bracelet adorned Ye Weiwei's slender, porcelain-white wrist. The green hue flowed within the bracelet, radiating a captivating aura and making her skin appear even whiter and more beautiful.
Liu Guilan was extremely satisfied, her eyes crinkling with a smile, a look of relief and contentment.
"Look how beautiful it is. This should be yours. You're the only one in our family who can truly match it."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Ye Weiwei shook her wrist; she really liked the pair of bracelets.
Liu Guilan then took out three red envelopes she had prepared earlier from her pocket, and handed the two smaller ones to Ye Weiwei, saying, "This is the change-of-address fee for your father-in-law and me, five yuan each. That's the amount we gave when your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and your second brother got married."
Ye Weiwei happily accepted the money when she heard it was a "change of address fee".
Seeing that she didn't complain about the small amount of five yuan, Liu Guilan felt even more satisfied.
She also gave the larger red envelope to Ye Weiwei, saying, "This is a betrothal gift for you and Lao San. Please accept it."
Ye Weiwei was puzzled. "I don't need that. The three turns and one sound are already very good."
Without saying a word, Liu Guilan stuffed the red envelope into Ye Weiwei's hand, saying, "Take it. The reason I didn't include it with the other betrothal gifts is because I was afraid it would be too conspicuous and cause gossip and envy among the villagers, which would lead to trouble."
"this……"
Ye Weiwei was wondering whether she should accept the red envelope when Huo Xiao came in, put it directly into her pocket, and then pulled her up, saying, "Mother, I'm taking my wife back to the room."
Liu Guilan glared at Huo Xiao, annoyed. "I just wanted to say a few words to Weiwei, why are you so anxious? Hurry up and leave! I find you an eyesore!"
Huo Xiao flashed a bright white smile and gave a military salute, "Yes, sir!"
Liu Guilan was both amused and exasperated, and waved the person away.
After the two returned to their room, Ye Weiwei took out the things Liu Guilan had given her and showed them to Huo Xiao.
The red envelope for changing the address is unnecessary, since all three families receive it. However, the bracelet and the supplementary betrothal gifts should be given separately to their branch of the family.
Huo Xiao held Ye Weiwei's hand and fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, thinking that no one could wear it better than his wife.
"Just accept it if your mother gives it to you."
"Aren't you afraid that your brother and sister-in-law will find out and become unhappy, causing family conflicts?"
Although being favored and pampered is nice, Ye Weiwei isn't the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong.
She quite liked the current family atmosphere in the Huo family. Huo Xiao's two older brothers were hardworking and capable, and his sister-in-law, Su Xuemei, was also a cheerful and capable person who didn't cause trouble for no reason. It wasn't worth causing dissatisfaction in the family over such a small matter.
Huo Xiao didn't care at all, "Don't worry, with your parents here, the things you're worried about won't happen."
When Sun Hongying was in power, we had to be on guard, but now there's absolutely no need.
Ye Weiwei: ……
She suddenly remembered a saying: "Those who are favored are fearless," and Huo Xiao must be like that now.
No wonder everyone in the village says that Huo Xiao is the apple of his mother's eye and the apple of her eye.
However, since Huo Xiao said so, she didn't care and would just keep it for now.
Before putting the red envelope away, Ye Weiwei counted the money inside: one hundred and one yuan.
This means one in a hundred.
I must say, my mother-in-law is a very discerning person; her words and actions always make her feel comfortable.
Huo Xiao saw Ye Weiwei's lips curl up as she counted the money, her face as beautiful as a lotus in full bloom, like a glass of strong wine, intoxicating just to look at her.
He couldn't resist leaning forward and giving her a quick kiss. "Wife, look at me, I'm prettier than money."
Ye Weiwei pretended to be displeased and pushed the big head in front of her aside, "Get out of here, can being good-looking put food on the table?"
Even though his wife was complaining, Huo Xiao wasn't angry. He simply pounced on her on the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "Whether it can be eaten or not, we'll find out by trying."
Ye Weiwei: ……
That old scoundrel!
It's only been a short time, and the car is already going this fast!
The two fooled around in the room for a while, but thinking that they were going out for dinner later, Huo Xiao restrained himself and didn't dare to go all the way.
He ate dinner absentmindedly, his eyes practically glued to Ye Weiwei, which made Ye Weiwei so angry that she kicked him several times under the table before he finally finished his meal properly.
As soon as they finished eating, Huo Xiao told everyone and pulled Ye Weiwei back to her room. He walked so fast that his older brother and sister-in-law couldn't help but laugh out loud, making Ye Weiwei so embarrassed that she was too ashamed to face anyone.
That night, Ye Weiwei felt like a fish in a hot pan, being tossed around and fried by Huo Xiao.
After years of pent-up desire, the old man was like an old house on fire the moment he tasted meat.
It's fortunate that she has superpowers; otherwise, she might not have been able to get out of bed these past few days.
Of course, she did enjoy it later on.
Just as Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao were enjoying their wedding night in blissful intimacy, a major event occurred in Daqingshan Village that night.
Sun Jinbao's house was set on fire, and none of his family members escaped; they were all burned to death.
This story begins with Ye Wanwan's miscarriage after being beaten by Chen Daniu during the day.
When Ye Wanwan woke up from her coma, she found herself lying on the ground in the yard. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious there, and none of the Sun family members had paid any attention to her or even brought her inside.
While cooking, Chen Daniu kept swearing and cursing, and Ye Wanwan was numb to the foul language she heard.
It took her a while to get up from the ground, and then she went into the house to change her clothes.
But Chen Daniu thought she was unlucky and wouldn't let her into the house, instead sending her to the woodshed.
