That evening, Yun Jin and He Tingchuan returned to the compound, knowing that He's parents were worried about them.
Mrs. He was still awake and asked with concern, "Has Li Aimei's matter been resolved?"
Yun Jin nodded: "It's resolved, the couple has reconciled."
Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. As long as we can still get by, it's normal for us to have some arguments. Talk to her and tell her not to run away from home alone with the child late at night. It's not safe."
Yun Jin nodded: "That's what I said too, to tell her to kick men out from now on."
“That’s right, that’s how it should be. If the third son ever makes you unhappy, kick him out. Don’t let him get in the way at home.” Mother He warned He Tingchuan with her eyes that he had better behave and be obedient, and keep his wife happy, or he would end up being kicked out of the house.
He Tingchuan: "..."
She's definitely her biological mother.
The next day, He Tingchuan took Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao out, and also dropped Li Cai and Gou Bao off at the hotel, as they had to go to work.
He Tingchuan said he was going to check out the gold shop, as it had just opened today.
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow: "Are you really going to buy me gold?"
"I can't lie to my wife, no matter who I lie to." He Tingchuan took Yun Jin with one hand and Xiao Niangao with the other and went to the jewelry store. He said directly to the clerk, "Do you have any heart-shaped necklaces? I want to buy one for my wife."
"Yes, yes, yes, you can take a look!" The saleswoman enthusiastically took out necklaces of different weights and sizes. With the chains, the larger set weighed eleven or twelve grams.
The smaller ones weigh seven or eight grams.
Let's see what He Tingchuan chooses.
Yun Jin prefers heavy, valuable items.
She asked He Tingchuan to put it on her. The large necklace made a strong impression on her neck. Yun Jin looked at herself in the mirror and thought that her neck looked elegant with the necklace on.
Without He Tingchuan asking, Yun Jin said, "It looks good, I like it!"
Little Rice Cake looked on longingly, her eyes brimming with desire: "Daddy, I like it too!"
You don't need to guess what a child is thinking; she expresses it directly.
He Tingchuan affectionately patted his daughter's head: "Ask your mother if she'll buy you one. If she's willing, Daddy will buy you a smaller one, how about that?"
Little Rice Cake happily hugged her mother's waist and said sweetly, "Mommy, I love you so much! You're the best mommy in the world! Can you buy your lovely, beautiful, and well-behaved daughter a necklace?"
Yun Jin was overjoyed and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll buy it. Your dad will pay."
Little Rice Cake was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mom! I love you!"
The master of balance, Little Rice Cake, turned to her father and said, "Daddy, I love you too! You are the absolute best dad in the world! Sending you love!"
He Tingchuan was almost coaxed into becoming an embryo.
Yun Jin looked at He Tingchuan: "Did you bring enough money?"
He Tingchuan nodded affirmatively. Now that Yun Jin could earn money, she looked down on He Tingchuan's meager salary. He Tingchuan still sent money to Yun Jin every month, and this time he was carrying a bonus.
He kept it so he could buy gold and silver for his wife and make her happy.
The saleswoman was surprised by her good luck today; she sold two necklaces as soon as she opened the door.
The two items, one big and one small, were worn around the necks of the mother and daughter. Little Niangao liked them very much; even at such a young age, she knew that gold was beautiful.
When He Tingchuan paid, Yun Jin saw that the little money in his hand was not enough to buy three necklaces. So Yun Jin took out her own money and bought a necklace for He's mother, which was also a kind gesture.
It is the one with the largest gram weight.
Yun Jin thought it was too big, but it would fit perfectly around Mother He's neck.
When He Tingchuan heard that it was bought for his mother, he felt helpless and said, "My wife is the most filial."
"Mom deserves it." Mother He is understanding, open-minded, and generous. She treats her like family, so Yun Jin will naturally treat Mother He well.
If it were Li Aimei's mother-in-law, Yun Jin wouldn't have spent this money on her.
After leaving the jewelry store, the family of three went to a Western restaurant and strolled around the mall. They didn't buy anything, but the three of them were happy just walking around.
When they got home around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Niangao couldn't wait to put the necklace her mother had bought in front of Grandma He: "Grandma, put it on quickly, Mom bought it for you, I have one too, Mom has one too, all three of us have the same one, it's so pretty!"
Mrs. He was pleasantly surprised. She opened the box and saw the heart-shaped necklace, which must have weighed at least ten grams.
I checked the receipt, and it contains 15.98 grams.
No wonder it's so heavy.
Although Mrs. He liked it, she said, "You can buy it yourselves, why are you buying it for me? Why would I, at my age, spend this money?"
"It looks good, Grandma deserves it." Little Rice Cake knows how to coax people.
Mrs. He beamed with joy.
Yun Jin smiled and said, "We all have them, how can we forget Mom's? From now on, when we go out, people will know we're a family just by looking at the necklaces."
"My daughter-in-law has gone to so much trouble, I really like it." Saying this, she asked Yun Jin to help her put it on, and the more she looked in the mirror, the more she liked it. She then made an excuse to go out and show it off to the other old ladies in the compound.
Before long, everyone in the compound knew that Yun Jin had bought her mother-in-law a gold necklace, which was so dazzling that it made them all envious.
Unfortunately, their daughters-in-law weren't so generous. After all, they weren't like Yun Jin, who ran her own business and had money of her own. They only received a fixed salary, which wasn't enough to live on.
Even if I were to buy something, it would be for myself.
Some envious daughters-in-law in the compound secretly approached Yun Jin to inquire about her secrets to making money. Yun Jin then complained to them about how difficult it was to earn money and how much capital she had tied up.
"You see me living a glamorous and successful life on the surface, but I actually owe the bank a huge amount of money." Yun Jin isn't a fraudster, so she certainly wouldn't tell them how to make money.
