Ren Yaoqi no longer had any impression of this aunt. It seemed that in her previous life, Ren Shijia had never returned to her parents' home to give birth.
"Third sister-in-law." Ren Shijia wanted to stand up and salute Li, but was held down by Lin who was sitting next to her.
"We are family, why are you going through all this false formalities? Third sister-in-law won't mind, right, Third sister-in-law?" Lin said with a sweet smile.
Li hurriedly said, "Don't get up yet. You are a double body person, so you need to be careful."
Old Mrs. Ren asked Li to sit on the chair.
Ren Shijia looked at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua again and said in surprise, "I haven't seen you for over a year. You've grown a lot taller."
Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid you haven't seen Yaohua for more than a year. She went to the manor last year... to recuperate, and only came back before the New Year. When you came back to pay New Year's greetings the year before last, she hadn't returned yet."
Ren Shijia thought about it carefully, smiled and nodded: "Look at my memory."
Then she smiled and waved to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua.
The two sisters walked up to Ren Shijia, who took off a pair of agate bracelets from her hands and gave one to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, smiling kindly and saying, "Good children, I'll give them to you to wear while you play."
Lin glanced at the bracelets and said, "Oh, you are so generous, Auntie. Have you prepared everything for today? You have more than just these two nieces."
Ren Shijia smiled and glared at Lin: "Is this necessary? When did I ever show favoritism?"
Upon hearing this, Lin said with a hint of sourness: "Mother loves you the most, and the dowry she gave you is all good things."
After hearing this, Old Lady Ren frowned and scolded Lin, saying, "Which aunt would reward her niece with her dowry? Only a fool like you can say such a thing! Stop embarrassing yourself!"
Lin was amused by her scolding and said hurriedly, "Daughter-in-law, aren't you joking with Shi Jia? If it's not your mother's family, then it must be your husband's family. We are all in the Lin family. When I was a girl, my grandmother and mother were not so generous to me. It shows that my grandmother and mother really love our aunt."
Old Madam Ren paused and said calmly, "Before you got married, you were a daughter of the eldest house, and Shi Jia was the daughter-in-law of the second house. You're from different houses, so why are you comparing yourself with her? If you have to compare, it should be with the daughters and daughters-in-law of the eldest house of the Lin family. When the Lin family divides up the mansions in the future, there will be no comparison at all."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin was stunned. "Divide the mansion? Why do we need to divide the mansion?" Mrs. Lin looked at Ren Shijia in confusion. "Didn't my grandmother say that 'a single tree cannot make a forest'? The Lin family won't divide the mansion, right?"
Ren Shijia was silent for a moment before she looked up and evaded Lin, "Mother, it's just a matter of time. How can we just divide it?"
Mrs. Lin looked at Old Madam Ren again. Old Madam Ren squinted her eyes slightly and leaned against the bed, as if she didn't hear what they said.
Ren Yaoqi was paying attention to the expressions of the three people in front of him, but couldn't help but feel thoughtful.
