"Mom, what brings you here?"
"I came to see you."
Cui Mingzhen said softly, as if the tragedy that happened in her family was happening right before her eyes.
It feels like it just happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, my daughter is getting married.
Song Qinghe is about to go to someone else's home, first to be a wife, then a mother.
This feeling is both novel and a little bittersweet.
If it weren't for the unexpected events in her family, Song Qinghe's marriage would have been a sensation in Shanghai.
Moreover, she was marrying a third-generation member of the elite in Beijing, and the Lu family was also very famous. With the two families joining forces, it was impossible for the wedding to be held so hastily in the village.
When Cui Mingzhen thought about this, she felt very sorry for Song Qinghe. As her mother, she had not been able to provide her with the best life.
On the contrary, she felt guilty for dragging her into this situation.
Everything depends on Song Qinghe's own hard work; they even drag her down.
Song Qinghe couldn't stand Cui Mingzhen's gaze; she always felt that Cui Mingzhen was about to cry.
"Mom, please don't do this, what are you doing?"
“I…I just feel sorry for you! Take this. Our family is down on its luck now and can’t afford a decent dowry. There’s nothing we can do for you.”
“This bracelet was given to me by your maternal grandmother when I got married, and now I am giving it to you.”
After Cui Mingzhen finished speaking, she took off a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Song Qinghe.
Song Qinghe quickly refused, "A bracelet? What do you need a bracelet for? It's not like I'm stupid."
It was given to her by her maternal grandmother, so it must have special significance for Cui Mingzhen.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to save this thing even after her home was searched.
Song Qinghe had plenty of bracelets like these in her space, so she didn't care about this one at all.
But for Cui Mingzhen, this was the warmth from her family.
"Mom, Grandma gave this to you, so please keep it safe. I don't need anything. When your daughter earns money later, I'll buy you another one to make a pair, okay?"
“No.” Cui Mingzhen insisted on giving her the bracelet as part of her dowry, saying without room for argument, “This is a gift from your mother, so you should keep it.”
"Mom!" Song Qinghe said with a wry smile, "Why do you insist on this..."
She felt it wasn't necessary, really.
Cui Mingzhen remained silent, but made it clear that she would be angry if Cui Mingzhen refused to accept the gift.
We have to accept it whether we want to or not.
Song Qinghe had no choice but to accept this kindness; otherwise, she was worried that Cui Mingzhen would faint right in front of her.
I would be truly unfilial if that happened!
Cui Mingzhen's expression softened slightly after she saw that she had accepted the money, but worry quickly followed.
"Daughter, if you get married, what will happen in the future..."
"It will be the same in the future. I have already spoken with Lu Zhaolin. I will not go to join the army for the time being. I want to stay by your side."
Seeing her expression, Song Qinghe knew what she wanted to say and spoke directly.
Don't even think about persuading her to go with the army; she won't go.
Right now, the most important thing for Song Qinghe is the health of her family members.
Even if I were to go with the army, I would have to wait until everything was arranged first.
Another thing is about the teacher. Since I promised to go to class, I have to go.
