Old Mrs. Zhou hurriedly tried to cover it up.
At this moment, the first thing she thought of was the issue of face.
Zhou Miaoer knew that the relationship was not resolved, so she ran away, very angry.
When Zhao Taohua heard these bizarre rumors, she just treated them as jokes.
"Taohua, weren't we a little too pretentious just now? What if the bracelet can't be returned?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked cautiously.
Zhao Taohua was stunned: "I didn't say I wanted to return it, I really wanted to buy it."
"What……"
Old Lady Zhao was shocked, then slapped Zhao Taohua hard, "I'm going crazy, and you're going crazy with me. What are you buying? Your brother's budget for marrying a wife is only... ten, and they haven't given you the exact amount yet. Although the first one is not expensive, what if something goes wrong? Don't you think you're asking for trouble?"
Zhao Taohua said, "Don't worry, it's enough. We originally estimated that building a house would cost 40 taels, but it ended up being 38 taels. Besides, it doesn't require Big Brother and his wife's capital. I still have 10 taels of capital. I'm already well-off, so I can still afford to buy a gold bracelet."
"That kind of..."
"At worst, this gold bracelet can be exchanged for money, or are you reluctant to give it to your daughter-in-law?"
"That's definitely not it."
Old Mrs. Zhao was reluctant to take care of the baby herself, but she was willing to give it to her daughter-in-law and daughter. As long as the family was together and united, she would be happiest.
After buying the things, the three members of the Zhao family returned home.
At the same time, the fabrics and gold bracelets were delivered to the doorstep. After Zhao Taohua inspected the goods again, she paid the balance and received them.
In the afternoon when they were shopping, Foreman Lin sent a matchmaker to their house for tea. The main purpose was to discuss the betrothal money, and if they couldn't come to an agreement, the deal wouldn't be done.
Fortunately, Xue Yazhi was not a difficult person. Since she had already chosen the item, she did not make things difficult for the Zhao family and directly quoted the market price of eight taels.
Old Mrs. Zhao had ten taels of silver as her wife's money, and she was afraid that after the banquet, there would be a lot left over, so Old Mrs. Zhao was extremely satisfied.
She did not marry the wrong daughter-in-law. When she came home, she put the gold bracelet on her daughter-in-law's wrist in front of the whole village. What a face-saving thing that would be.
It’s so beautiful just thinking about it.
At the same time, when the daughter of the Zhao family was buying wedding supplies in the town, she became famous overnight and the news spread throughout the surrounding area.
Foreman Lin's family naturally heard about it as well.
The Zhao family actually spent a huge sum of money to buy a gold bracelet for their eldest daughter-in-law. The betrothal gift was only eight taels, and the gold bracelet was worth ten taels. If they could cash it in when the time came,
“…Yazhi didn’t choose the wrong person this time.”
The Lin family was quite satisfied.
…
Some are happy, some are sad.
The Zhao family is having a great time.
The Zhou family was in chaos. Ye Xiyan suffered such a great injustice that she threw herself on the bed and burst into tears. Zhou Muzhi was studying in the room.
Seeing my beloved wife crying so sadly, my heart was immediately burning with heartache.
"Xiyan, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xiyan's makeup was all ruined by crying, and it took her a long time to calm down. She told the whole story of what happened to Zhao Taohua in the jewelry shop that day.
Of course, there is a lot of exaggeration in this.
"...She humiliated me in front of so many people, saying we'd done shameless things and that you, Muzhi, were already broke... She even bought a pair of gold bracelets and ten bolts of cotton cloth right in front of us, just humiliating me like that. Muzhi, I married you because I truly loved you. I never imagined I'd end up like this. Was I wrong?"
Ye Xiyan's crying broke Zhou Muzhi's heart.
