Tian Guihua ignored her completely, took out several necklaces, all of which were studded with diamonds, and grabbed them. Hua Xiangyun's brow twitched slightly.
I guess only an old lady would treat jewelry like this; it seems she really doesn't know its value.
“I’ve seen those capitalists’ daughters before, and they were all dressed very elegantly, but that was all thanks to their clothes and jewelry.”
Our little darling is so beautiful. When we get to the future, we'll make her some pretty clothes to match these jewelry. She'll definitely be even more beautiful than them.
Even if you can't wear them, keep them safe and sound; they'll surely come in handy someday.
Don't think she didn't see her daughter-in-law's eyes were practically bulging out. But so what? It's her place, and she can decide who she wants to give her things to.
There were also some bracelets, beads, and rings in the box. Although Xun Liangfen couldn't tell the quality, how could a woman resist the temptation of jewelry?
She reached out and picked up a jade thumb ring. "It's so big, it should be more suitable for men."
Tian Guihua snatched it from her hand, put it back in the box, and then said, "So what if the man brought it? If Jiang Yi behaves well in the future, Xiao Guai can give this to him too."
If that doesn't work, we can save it for our future children; we can't let them get scammed.
Xun Liangfen's face was grim. She was just curious, picked it up and glanced at it, and asked, "Why is my mother-in-law speaking so harshly? Could she possibly cheat her own daughter out of her things?"
"Mother, you prepared so much for Xiangyun. Did you give it to Zhiping and the others when they got married?" If you leave it for your son, at least it will still be in the Hua family in the future. If you give it to Xiangyun, then these things will belong to the Jiang family in the future.
Tian Guihua said, "Two grown men, do you think they would covet the things of an old woman like me?"
These are what I've saved up; I can give them to whomever I want.
"By the way, what did you, as her mother, prepare for your own daughter's wedding?"
Xun Liangfen knew that Hua Baoguo had been giving all his wages to Tian Guihua these days, and now that Tian Guihua was asking her this, she became anxious, "Aren't Baoguo and I always together? Besides, I've prepared so many things for her. Look around, whose dowry is as rich as hers?"
Even if we don't give them money, the dowry alone was something they carried back from outside with great effort. How could they possibly ask for anything more?
Hua Xiangyun reached out and pulled Tian Guihua's hand. She really didn't care about these things, and besides, she had taken too much. She couldn't just empty her family's coffers as soon as she got married.
Guihua patted her hand and said to Xun Liangfen, "That's all from Baoguo's salary and benefits. What about yours?"
You didn't care when Zhiping got married, and you didn't even buy the child a piece of cloth.
Not to mention Zhi'an, whenever you ask him to do something, he always has a dark face and gives his new wife a hard time.
You only have one daughter, Xiaoguai. Other mothers start saving from the moment their child is born, but you can't find a single needle here.
Hua Xiangyun quickly lowered her head, pretending not to hear. "Grandma, if you want to scold your daughter-in-law, don't do it in front of the younger generation. How is she supposed to face that?"
Without even looking up, she knew that Xun Liangfen was already taking her anger out on her. Did she really want to listen to this? It wasn't the first time she'd known that Xun Liangfen favored boys over girls and was selfish.
But after all, she was the mother who gave birth to her, and she couldn't help but repay this debt on behalf of the original owner. She could only fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter in the future, and she shouldn't ask for anything more.
“I’m not as wealthy as you, Mother,” Xun Liangfen said, glancing meaningfully at the iron box. “My ancestors were poor farmers for eighteen generations, and we didn’t have your kind of generosity.”
Everyone says husband and wife are one, so what Baoguo gave is essentially what I contributed, since we're husband and wife now.
Xun Liangfen emphasized the word "husband and wife" in particular, which was also a reminder to Tian Guihua that husband and wife are one, and how can they each pay their own way?
Tian Guihua was somewhat disappointed. She hadn't expected that even after all she had said, Xun Liangfen would still refuse to give her a penny. Anyway, she had done her best, and now it was up to him to decide his own fate.
What a great opportunity to repair the relationship with the child! This daughter-in-law is so short-sighted, letting it slip by. She'll regret it later.
The more he looked at it, the more it bothered him. He made an excuse to send the person away, and then let Hua Xiangyun pack up her things and tidy them up again before going back to her room to rest.
When Hua Xiangyun came to her senses, Jiang Yi had already overcome many obstacles and stood in front of her. Today, he was also dressed in a gray Lenin suit, looking at her with high spirits and anticipation.
In Jiang Yi's eyes, Hua Xiangyun was exceptionally beautiful today. Although she only wore a little lip rouge, she was the most eye-catching person. From the moment she entered the room, he could no longer see anyone else.
Hua Xiangyun smiled, but before she could say anything, Wu Yanxin stepped between them, saying, "Comrade Jiang Yi, if you want to take our Comrade Xiangyun away today, you'd better show some sincerity."
The female educated youths who came to see her off nodded in unison, "Comrade Xiangyun is our best friend. Quickly show your sincerity, otherwise go back to where you came from."
Jiang Yi reached out and pushed Wu Yanxin aside, then produced a bouquet of flowers from behind his back. He knelt on one knee in front of Hua Xiangyun, his voice full of sincerity, "For the rest of my life, I will fulfill all your wishes..."
Wu Yanxin and the others were also stunned. They had seen countless weddings since they were young, mostly just vows, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone kneel on one knee.
Such sincerity left them speechless.
They had no idea that decades from now, scenes like this would be the routine for almost every couple, and right now they were both deeply moved.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although men and women are equal now, many men are still chauvinistic and would never bow down to a woman first, let alone in front of so many outsiders. It shows how sincere they are.
By the time they realized what was happening, Hua Xiangyun had already taken the flower and placed her hand in the other person's.
Jiang Yi successfully picked up the person and saw that the outside was crowded with adults and children. He quickly asked his companion to distribute the wedding candy, bid farewell to his parents and elders, and then took Hua Xiangyun out.
Because many customs have been simplified for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, further simplification is necessary, lest any unintentional small mistake be brought up and made a big deal out of it.
Because the two families lived close by, Jiang Yi took his bride for a walk around the street, receiving congratulations from all sides and announcing to everyone that the Jiang family had a happy occasion.
When they returned to the Jiang family home after going around in circles, their relatives and friends who were originally at the Hua family home also came over.
Some neighbors also came to join in the fun, crowding the entire Jiang family's courtyard.
Jiang Yi doesn't usually entertain guests, so even if many people are curious about the Jiang family, they haven't come in for a visit.
This time, the Jiang family left their doors wide open, and many people took the opportunity of coming to observe the ceremony to sneak a peek.
Perhaps anticipating this situation, some room doors were locked and left open to everyone, except for the newly renovated kitchen and bathroom.
