Chapter 44 Chapter 44...
The box that Qi's mother took out actually looked quite ordinary, without any patterns and was pitch black.
However, when she opened it, Gu Ruyi was shocked.
Just because this ordinary little wooden box is filled with diamonds.
That’s right, Gu Ruyi was sure that she was not seeing things, they were indeed diamonds, and they were colorful diamonds, including transparent yellow, red, and pink.
Every time she spends money, it's a box of diamonds. This mother-in-law is... too rich!
Gu Ruyi was extremely surprised, but Qi's mother didn't care about these diamonds at all. She said casually: "Xiaoyi, this is a gift from my former good friend. It came from abroad and is not worth much, but it is very beautiful. Take it back and ask Qi Lian to find someone to make some jewelry for you!"
Not worth it? Could it be that mother-in-law doesn’t know the price of diamonds?
Gu Ruyi picked up a yellow diamond and said, "Mom, you must be mistaken. This is a diamond. It should be very valuable."
Qi's mother smiled, "Xiaoyi, you are so honest. No matter whether it is valuable or not, you can play with it as you like."
It was just a box of diamonds. No matter how valuable it was, Qi's mother didn't take it seriously.
Next comes the real gift.
Qi's mother opened the lid of her dressing table, took out a palm-sized jewelry box, opened it and handed it directly to Gu Ruyi.
"Xiaoyi, this is the gift your mother gave you. It's a pair of jade bracelets I prepared a few years ago."
Surprisingly... there is more.
Moreover, with just a casual glance, even Gu Ruyi, who knew only a little about jadeite, could still confirm that what her mother-in-law gave her was a pair of extremely rare three-color jadeite bracelets of Fu Lu Shou.
But that was not the end. Qi's mother took out a passbook and said, "This is what your grandparents and your dad gave you. They don't know what you young people like, so they just give each of you 5,000 yuan. Use it and buy whatever you want."
Five thousand per person, that’s fifteen thousand for three people.
Being able to easily take out 15,000 yuan in 1977, well, she still underestimated the rich families.
"Mom, isn't it a bit too expensive?"
Hearing Gu Ruyi's words, Qi's mother said cheerfully, "What's so valuable about this? We have prepared it a long time ago. You don't know, I almost thought that all these things we prepared could not be delivered."
Gu Ruyi: "Why?"
Qi's mother: "Because in the past 25 years, that stinky boy Qi Lin would hide when he saw a female mosquito. We all suspect that he likes men. How do you think we should give these things to him?"
Not to mention giving gifts, Qi's mother felt as if the sky was falling when she thought about having a son-in-law.
Therefore, the appearance of Gu Ruyi is like a super savior to the Qi family. Naturally, they have to win her over to prevent Gu Ruyi from abandoning that bastard Qi Lian.
Gu Ruyi: “…”
This reason is a bit funny.
But you know what, after hearing what Qi's mother said, Gu Ruyi felt much more at ease accepting the gift.
Similarly, when Qi's mother saw that Gu Ruyi did not refuse, she felt relieved.
As it was getting late, Gu Ruyi and Qi Lin soon returned to their new home.
————
While resting at night, Qi's mother felt a little puzzled when looking at the exquisite ceramic jar.
"Old Qi, I'm a little hesitant to use the gift Xiaoyi gave me. But if I don't use it, I'm worried that Xiaoyi will think I've let her down after she finds out."
"Let's open it and take a look first!" Father Qi said and lifted the lid.
In an instant, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.
Smelling this comfortable smell, Father Qi said affirmatively: "Use it, this medicine feels good, and I don't think Xiaoyi is the kind of unreliable person."
Mother Qi thought about it and it made sense. She was Gu Ruyi's mother-in-law, and they had no grudges against each other, so she would not harm her no matter what.
After figuring it out, Qi's mother boldly took a muscle-relieving pill and placed it on her belly button before going to bed.
————
Two days passed in a flash.
During these two days, except for the second night, Qi Lin has been busy all the time, tossing Gu Ruyi over and over like a pancake.
Gu Ruyi's waist was almost broken, and there were two big dark circles under her eyes, just like a goblin whose energy had been sucked away.
I'm so scared. If this continues, Gu Ruyi will die young sooner or later.
So, for the sake of her own life, Gu Ruyi and Qi Lin moved back to the house she rented as soon as the honeymoon was over.
snort! The house she rented was surrounded by neighbors on all sides. When she got here, she didn't believe that Qi Lian would dare to be so rampant.
Qi Lian: A mountain man’s ingenious plan for freedom.
————
After the honeymoon, Gu Ruyi and Qi Lian went back to work.
As soon as he heard that she was going to work, Xu Ruyu rushed to find her that night.
When Xu Ruyu arrived, Gu Ruyi was reading high school materials. Xu Ruyu was busy, but when she saw Gu Ruyi studying hard under the light, she subconsciously asked, "Didn't you graduate? Why are you still reading high school books?"
Gu Ruyi closed the book and said honestly, "Because I want to go to college."
Xu Ruyu was a little surprised. "It's not easy to get a place in the worker-peasant program for university."
Gu Ruyi shook her head. "No, I think the country can't always be like this. Just look at other countries. No country will stop cultivating scholars. So I firmly believe that sooner or later the country will restore universities."
"If that day really comes, I will be able to seize the opportunity. If not, it won't be a loss to me to learn the knowledge in my head."
Gu Ruyi was talking nonsense, but Xu Ruyu felt that there was some truth in it.
However, the most important thing now is not whether or not to go to college.
Xu Ruyu took out a document and handed it to Gu Ruyi. "Take a look. This is the compensation that Dad and the deputy director have agreed to give you. One hundred for each piece of clothing. What do you think?"
That's right, Xu Ruyu was not idle during the days when Gu Ruyi was on vacation. Not only did she make a sample of the wedding dress that Gu Ruyi would wear on her wedding day, she also worked with her father to persuade other leaders in the factory.
Xu Ruyu also tried her best to get the highest salary. You know, the monthly salary of a designer in the factory is only more than 80 yuan.
Gu Ruyi nodded. Although the price was not high, it was just a matter of drawing a few design drafts. It was relatively simple for her and the money was easy to earn.
However, you can't just sign documents casually, or you'll get cheated if you're not careful.
Gu Ruyi read all the documents carefully before signing her name.
The next step was to draw the design. Because she didn't want her wedding dress to be everywhere on the streets in the future, Gu Ruyi made some slight changes and added a belt on the back of the coat.
This style caught Xu Ruyu's eye.
She immediately got the essence of it and couldn't help but praise: "Ruyi, the belt you added is the finishing touch. This way you can choose to have a waist-tightening or not-tightening waist. It's really nice to wear the same piece of clothing in two ways."
"And more!"
Gu Ruyi picked up the brush again and quickly drew another one.
This one is still simple in style, the only difference is that it has two rows of buttons.
But it still looked good. Xu Ruyu was very satisfied and hurried back after getting the design draft.
Gu Ruyi's life returned to normal. She went to work every day, went home to look at materials, and continued to study in the system after going to bed. It was busy and fulfilling.
Ten days passed in a flash...
Even though she had a sore back, Qi's mother still got up early today because she had a party and had to put on makeup early.
Sitting in front of the dressing table and looking at the marks on her neck, Mother Qi was instantly furious.
"Old Qi, why were you so crazy last night? Look at my neck. How can I go out and see people when it's like this?"
When Qi's father came out of bed and saw his "masterpiece", alarm bells instantly sounded in his heart.
It's over. I went too far last night. If I don't coax him into submission, he'll probably have to sleep in the study for the next half month.
But how to coax her?
Father Qi looked at his wife's increasingly fair skin, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Afang, I was wrong, but you can't blame me entirely. It's because your skin has been so good lately, as white as white jade. How can I bear it?"
What Qi's father said was a bit exaggerated, but not particularly exaggerated.
Qi's mother's skin has indeed improved a lot recently than before.
People in their fifties now have skin conditions similar to those in their forties.
Human beings! Who doesn’t love younger and more beautiful ones? That’s why Qi’s father, who is already old, accidentally lost control.
Mother Qi was overjoyed by Father Qi's praises. She subconsciously looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Is there?"
Father Qi nodded slowly, "Yes, yes, absolutely, and I think your waist seems to have become thinner too."
Upon hearing this, Qi's mother stood up and after carefully observing herself, she said in surprise, "It's true. No wonder I feel my clothes are loose recently."
"Also, the wrinkles and spots on my face seem to have decreased a lot, and my complexion has improved, with a rosy complexion as if I had put on blush."
The more Qi's mother looked, the happier she became. She held her face in her hands and even couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.
Seeing that Qi's mother had completely forgotten the bad things she had done, Qi's father, who had escaped the disaster, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said, "Afang, is this because you took the pill Xiaoyi gave you?"
Mother Qi said without even turning her head: "Of course it is. Recently, I haven't used any cosmetic supplements except Xiji Pills. At that time, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect Xiaoyi to be so good. The effect of this Xiji Pill is even better than the foreign cosmetics I spent a lot of money on last time."
As she was talking, Qi's mother praised Gu Ruyi, "Xiaoyi is so pretty and capable. It's a waste for her to be paired with our brat."
Father Qi quickly agreed, "That's right, Qi Lin is really lucky to have found such a good wife."
“That’s right…”
The couple started talking about how terrible Qi Lin was and how lucky he was to marry Gu Ruyi.
Afterwards, he also said that next time the couple returned home, he would definitely teach Qi Lian a lesson and ask him to treat Gu Ruyi well and not let her suffer any grievances.
Qi Lian: Who is the biological child?
