I'm the kind of person who can't sit still, so I prepared a gift right away.
"Someone, bring the thank-you gift I prepared for Mrs. Lin yesterday."
Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia's expressions were somewhat subtle. Lift? What could possibly require lifting?
"Mrs. Lin has been taking good care of the old lady these past few days. Not only I, but my whole family is extremely grateful for this. So I decided to give Mrs. Lin the two South China Sea coral ornaments and the finest South China Sea pearls that the old lady and the second wife kept in the storeroom as gifts."
"I hope the old lady and the lady don't think I took it upon myself to give Mrs. Lin such an expensive gift, hehehe."
Madam Wang's hands were clenched so tightly they were almost bleeding. She barely managed to stand firm and said with a forced smile, "You've always been reliable in your work."
"Mrs. Kelin is a relative, and these gifts are too expensive. As the saying goes, one should not accept gifts without merit. You can choose some better ones to give her."

“I don’t agree with what you’re saying, Madam. Taking care of the old lady is a great service and a huge contribution. How can you say that she has no merit? This is the greatest contribution!” Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
Lady Wang had no choice but to nod. She couldn't possibly say no. Before Jia Zheng could say anything, the old lady had already scolded her for being unfilial!
But my heart was bleeding. Those were South Sea pearls!! Priceless South Sea pearls!!
She saved up for many years to accumulate ten pearls, which will soon be enough for a set of pearl jewelry!
Her life! How could it be so miserable!
Grandmother Jia was much more composed and happily praised Wang Xifeng for her competence.
She naturally wouldn't be reluctant to part with it. The fact that the eldest brother was addicted to hemp must not be revealed. Giving her this valuable item was also a way of hoping that she could keep the secret.
[This is so embarrassing! This is much more than five hundred taels!]
[My Feng is so good to me!]
