Chapter 434 - 303 The Truth About Being Unkind to Son and Daughter-in-law_3
Not only do I have to provide 100 silver taels, but also three gold pieces. Hongji doesn’t even know how to discuss this matter with Mrs. Li.
But this matter is going to take place in a few days. Father mentioned the gift exchange on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and bringing the person into our home on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
There are only a few days left to prepare, and his wife as the mistress of their own household is completely unaware. How will she manage to send ten tables’ worth of gifts?
As a man, he will certainly have to entrust this matter to his wife. Purchasing and arranging have always been her duties.
Just as he left his father’s room, with a mind full of worries and walking, he noticed a quick-moving small silhouette.
More than one, actually— it was the most mischievous and lively, his two youngest daughters.
Hongji knew that the two little girls were definitely eavesdropping by their father’s door but he didn’t have time to deal with that now. He had to go back and prepare what to say to his wife.
Hongji returned to his room full of worries. His wife opened her mouth as if to speak, but no words came out immediately. Instead, she had the maid prepare footbath water for him and, in silence, he washed his face and feet.
