“Yes, little sister, Grandmother loves you the most. She’s been talking about you all day long since she heard you were coming,” Baoyu said with a smile.
Grandmother Jia looked at Baoyu with great satisfaction. She knew that Baoyu was a good child with excellent manners and etiquette. As long as he didn't cause trouble, even ten people couldn't match him.
It was no wonder she loved him so much.
"What about before? Didn't you say that before?"
Shen Ajiao innocently asked Baoyu, and sure enough, before Grandmother Jia could speak, Baoyu shook his head. At least he had never heard of her, he only knew that there was such a person. He did not expect his sister to be so beautiful. If he had known, he would have known his sister long ago.
"Oh, I see."
Grandmother Jia called out to Baoyu, gently shook her head, and told him not to talk nonsense. "What does a child know? He goes to school all day and still has to listen to this old woman nagging about things he doesn't know. All he does is play all day long."
[Oh, so you mean she only told him privately, and Baoyu didn't know? Oh dear, what a mess! Who really misses someone? We have countless close friends and family members around us, yet you act as if we've never missed anyone. Don't think you're so naive, old lady.]
"Thank you for your concern, Grandmother." Lin Daiyu stopped crying and stood up, looking rather pitiful. Baoyu stared at her, speechless, his eyes shining as if he had discovered a new continent.
Lin Daiyu felt exhausted. Why couldn't this person learn from his mistakes? She glanced at Grandmother Jia, who was quite pleased. Baoyu hadn't distanced himself from Yu'er because of this incident, which was a good thing.
Her precious jade will surely be a pillar of strength, and in the future, when he becomes an official, he will be able to protect both families.
Looking at Baoyu's face, which was as red as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Ajiao really couldn't muster the energy to look at the others, and so she took her leave.
Grandmother Jia knew she couldn't keep Daiyu today, so she thought of the future and pulled Daiyu aside to say many heartfelt words. She explained that she was old and didn't know when things would change, hoping Daiyu could visit her more often, and also to check on her mother's behalf…
Lin Daiyu was still crying even after getting into the carriage.
There's no solution to this problem. Playing the family card is a sure thing, no matter who you're dealing with. Poor thing.
Which child doesn't miss their mother? Which child isn't their mother's precious treasure?
It's just a pity that Mother isn't here; it leaves a void.
Lin Daiyu: I really miss my mother. If she were here, she would help me like my mother-in-law, and my maternal grandmother wouldn't favor my cousin.
The wife's words were always right: children without a mother are always neglected.
Waaaaah... I'm so sad, why isn't my wife comforting me?
Today's trip was worthwhile; we had a good haul. Feng gave the most practical gift, the old lady gave the most valuable one, and our Lin Baobao is quite well-received.
Lin Daiyu: Madam, do I look like someone who lacks that little thing? I need comfort.
[I'm asking Lin Baobao to treat me to roast duck tomorrow. I've heard that Mu Ya Ge's roast duck is the best in the world, we have to go, sisters!]
Lin Daiyu: Waaaaah, eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! You've gained five pounds, even Father complains when he comes! Humph! I'm not going to stick any more stickers on you.
Why does it feel like they're about to eat me alive?
[Impossible! I, Lin Baobao, am kind, beautiful, generous, and adorable. How could I possibly eat you? You must have mistaken me for someone else.]
Lin Daiyu: Hmph, I won't be bought off by you.
Shen Ajiao: "Let's go eat roast duck tonight."
Lin Daiyu: "Okay."
"When I raised my hand today, I felt a bit of emptiness in my wrist."
Shen Ajiao: "How about we go to the jewelry shop after we finish eating the roast duck?"
Lin Daiyu: "You pay."
"All right."
【Am I rich? Huh? I'm the poorest of the three in my family. One bracelet and I'm back to square one. I'm already this poor and I still have to treat everyone? That's inhuman! I take back my praise.】
Lin Daiyu: Madam, if you have the guts, say it out loud, huh?
"Use my money? That's my lifeline. I'm saving it for you if your dad accidentally dies."
Lin Daiyu: So, Madam, Father can't live longer? So that you can have more money?
With a heavy heart, Shen Ajiao took out the wooden box that Lin Ruhai had given her before he left. She reluctantly took out three hundred-yuan silver notes from it, thinking that one hundred taels of silver was now equivalent to about fifty thousand yuan, and three notes would be one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, which was enough.
She used to be a small business owner with tens of millions in assets, but now she's heartbroken over 150,000 yuan. *sobs* Hug yourself.
Lin Daiyu frowned deeply. Could buying a bracelet really make her so heartbroken?
At worst, we can just give her a few gifts, along with some jewelry and clothes. Madam is naturally beautiful and usually doesn't wear much, which is quite elegant. But once we get to the capital, if she remains too elegant, she might be looked down upon and lose the air of a third-rank official's wife.
It's not like we can't afford it at home. It's a good opportunity to let her see what girls in the capital wear. She'll inevitably have to socialize in the capital, so it's better to make plans early.
"This one, this one, and this one, I don't want any of them. Wrap up the rest."
Chen Ajiao: ￥%@#￥……You didn’t say you were coming here to go bankrupt, did you?
After looking at the jewelry, Lin Daiyu continued to examine the rouge, face powder, perfumes, and other items. Each item weighed heavily, making Ajiao's heart pound with fear. The entire event had cost a full five thousand taels of silver!
Oh my god, what a spendthrift woman! Five thousand taels! A million!
Just when Shen Ajiao thought it was all over, Lin Daiyu went to another place the next day and spent another five thousand taels!
Shen Ajiao swallowed hard. For someone like her, a second-generation rich kid who came from humble beginnings and whose wealth hadn't lasted more than three generations, it was truly enviable.
Lin Daiyu waved her hand, "Only ten thousand taels of silver can buy only five outfits. Isn't that normal?"
Shoes, clothes, jewelry, earrings, sachets, fans, and all sorts of other items are included, and they're not expensive at all.
