That evening, Mrs. He and Mrs. He were checking the accounts in the living room.
The money we received as gifts today has been recorded by a designated person.
Now that it's in their hands, we definitely need to check it.
Little Rice Cake saw it and exclaimed, "Wow, so much money! Is it all Grandma's? Grandma is so amazing!"
Mrs. He smiled as she was praised: "Your aunt also has one."
"My aunt is so amazing, she has so much money. When I grow up, I'll earn lots and lots of money to spend on Grandma and my aunt," Little Rice Cake declared confidently.
Overjoyed, Sister-in-law He gave Xiao Niangao five yuan: "Take this and buy something delicious."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Little Rice Cake said happily, holding the five-yuan note.
Then she looked at Mother He.
Looking at the clever little Nian Gao, Mrs. He smiled indulgently and gave him five yuan!
He Zizhen happened to see it and laughed, "Everyone who sees it gets a share, I can't be left out!"
Mother He felt the pinch, so she gave He Zizhen another five yuan.
He Zizhen never expected that her joke would actually earn her five yuan, and immediately launched an attack on her mother: "Mom, Grandma gave her some, what about you?"
Sister-in-law He gave He Zizhen five cents and told her to take her younger sister out to play.
He Zizhen knew her mother wasn't good at math, and if she made a mistake, she would definitely be blamed. So she immediately took Xiao Niangao and left to avoid being scolded later.
Xiao Niangao received ten yuan in pocket money. He Zizhen coaxed her to buy ice cream, but Xiao Niangao shook her head: "I'll keep it for Mom."
“We can spend the money ourselves!” He Zizhen encouraged.
Little Rice Cake stuffed the money into her pocket, then solemnly patted it to make sure the money was inside: "No, I have to give it to Mom."
He Zizhen pinched Xiao Niangao's little nose: "You cunning one, you only know about Sister Hua."
Little Rice Cake smiled ingratiatingly: "I like you, big sister!"
He Zizhen was delighted by the sweet words and took Xiao Niangao to buy ice cream. They each ate one and enjoyed it immensely.
Upon seeing this, Sun Sijia asked with a smile, "Where did you get the money to buy ice cream?"
"My mom gave it to me. Should my sister-in-law give us money to buy it?" He Zizhen asked back, while covering Xiao Niangao's mouth to prevent her from blurting out that her mother gave them pocket money.
I can't tell anyone about this great opportunity!
Sun Sijia wisely shut her mouth. She didn't have much money on her, so how could she afford to buy them ice cream?
Forget about mung bean popsicles and old-fashioned popsicles.
Not to mention ice cream.
Ice cream is expensive!
As soon as Sun Sijia got back, she saw He's mother and the others checking the accounts and immediately went over to them: "Do you need my help? I'm good at keeping accounts. I always keep accounts at home."
Mrs. He waved her hand: "No need, we've already agreed on everything."
In front of Sun Sijia, He's mother said, "This is the money for today's wedding gifts. There are many guests here, mostly friends of your mother-in-law and me. They came to drink because of us."
Mother He took out a small amount of money: "This was a gift from Ziqian's friend. We'll give it to him when he gets back."
Avoiding Sun Sijia's attempt to take the money, He's mother set aside He Ziqian's share.
Sun Sijia glanced at the two portions held by He's mother and sister-in-law, thinking to herself that they must have cost several hundred yuan!
Mrs. He said, "Your mother-in-law and I paid for all the social obligations in the past. We didn't take advantage of anyone. Whoever's friend is the one who receives the gifts. In the future, we can give gifts ourselves for their happy occasions."
“Your mother-in-law paid for the banquet, which is considered a gift from her parents to you young people,” said Mrs. He. “Now that you’ve held your banquet, you’re truly a family, and you’ll support and take care of each other in the future.”
Sun Sijia nodded obediently: "I will, Grandma, don't worry."
I thought I would be able to keep the money from the gift money, but I didn't expect that they had already made arrangements, and I didn't get any benefit at all.
And look at He Ziqian's gift money, it's only thirty-odd yuan, what's that?
Sun Sijia thought of He Ziqian's words and knew that if she didn't speak up today, she might not have another chance: "Ziqian said that every new bride in the He family has a lineage?"
Mrs. He raised an eyebrow.
Sister-in-law He looked at Sun Sijia with some displeasure: "What inheritance? How come I don't know anything about it? Bloodline inheritance? Isn't that what's in your belly?"
After being rebuked, Sun Sijia said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
Mother He knew she was faking it; what slip of the tongue? She was clearly just asking for something.
Mother He was increasingly disgusted with her granddaughter-in-law; her behavior was too unseemly.
She's only been here a short time, but even she's starting to find it hard to tolerate.
Mother He said, "You should talk to her properly. I'll go see where Little Rice Cake has run off to."
As soon as Mrs. He left, Sister-in-law He asked with a serious expression, "Aren't you satisfied with your hardware?"
Sun Sijia shook her head: "No, no, I just heard that the He family's new daughter-in-law has some kind of bracelet."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the jade bracelet on Sister-in-law He's hand. It was a gift from Sister-in-law He, which she had kept for many years. Today was also her son's big day, so she took it out to wear it. Who knew that Sun Sijia would have her eye on it.
Sister-in-law He said irritably, "This bracelet is meant to be passed down to women, not men. It's for Zizhen in the future. If you like it, have Ziqian buy it for you. Don't even think about taking it; it doesn't belong to you."
Sun Sijia stammered, "My wife knows, she won't fight with Zizhen for it."
Sister-in-law He snorted coldly: "That would be best."
Not wanting to continue being glared at by Mrs. He, Sun Sijia made an excuse that she was tired and went home to rest, hiding in her room and angrily throwing her pillow. Unexpectedly, when she mustered the courage to speak up, she got nothing in return.
They really don't like me.
