Chapter 497 - 495: The Bracelet
```
Two jars of good wine were carried in by the Jindou brothers, and Old Granny Zhang immediately cried out in distress, "You silly girl, you’re far too honest! Buying such a big jar of wine, it must be around ten pounds, right? Who needs that much? Three or four pounds would be more than enough! Eldest Brother’s family, Laosan’s house, quickly find two smaller jars and transfer some of this wine into them. We’ll return the rest tomorrow!"
Wang Yongzhu hurriedly said, "Mother, there’s no need to return it. When we build the new house, don’t we need wine for entertaining guests? And won’t we need wine for Fourth Brother’s wedding day? I’m afraid what’s left might not even be enough."
Upon hearing this, Old Granny Zhang realized it was true and let the matter rest.
After going through all this, Wang Yongzhu finally took out two silver bracelets wrapped in cloth, along with a pair of silver clove earrings given by Zhou Ji, and placed them on the table: "These were bought at Zhou Ji, the Old Phoenix Open-mouthed Auspicious Cloud Bracelet, weighed in front of me, each weighing a full tael. These earrings were a gift from Zhou Ji."
Old Granny Zhang unwrapped the package and saw the snow-white silver bracelets, carved with the pattern of dragons and phoenixes bringing auspiciousness, with Zhou Ji’s hallmark inside the band.
She casually took a pair and put them away, then pushed the rest towards Lady Jiang, "Take them! And don’t say again that we’ve been tight-fisted with your side of the family!"
Lady Jiang’s face turned beet red, unsure whether it would be proper to take them or leave them.
It was Wang Yonggui who was thicker-skinned, giggling as he reached for the bracelets, "Aren’t you going to thank Mother?"
As he spoke, he slipped the bracelets onto Lady Jiang’s wrist. Lady Jiang was frail, and whenever she moved her hand, the bracelets jingled merrily.
Lady Lin was so envious that her eyes turned red.
