Chapter 951 - 949 Resentment
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and Old Granny Zhang spoke first, "Zhuzhu, what your uncle gave you today, we can’t accept it! But refusing might upset your uncle, so let’s leave these things with me for now, and I’ll keep them for him. Your uncle is still young, and in a few days, when he comes to understand, he ought to form a family again. Even if there’s no one to be filial to him, he should have someone by his side to share warmth and coldness."
"When the time comes, these things and the land deeds will be given to his future wife, so he can live well, and my heart will be at ease," Old Granny Zhang said, feeling slightly sorry for her daughter.
After all, these items were given to her daughter by Yang Zongbao, and deciding like this, she worried her daughter might feel uncomfortable.
It wasn’t that her daughter was short-sighted and reluctant to part with these things; it was just that her daughter’s gift included a set of ruby-studded gold jewelry and a set of intricately crafted silver filigree jewelry that she had just glanced at. It was both exquisite and beautiful, especially suitable for a girl of her daughter’s age.
It seemed that the person who selected this gift really put thought into it.
If her daughter wore this jewelry set, she surely would be the prettiest girl in Jing County.
Thinking this, Old Granny Zhang hesitated but ultimately returned the box to Wang Yongzhu, "Forget it, after all, this is your uncle’s thoughtful gesture, you go ahead and keep it! At worst, your mother can give your uncle some silver next time."
After saying this, because they were still in mourning, gold couldn’t be worn, so she carefully took out the silver filigree jewelry and said, "Try it on, let your mom have a look—"
Wang Yongzhu understood Old Granny Zhang’s intentions and was amused, "Mom, this is my uncle’s kind intent, we should accept it with peace of mind. Rest assured, when uncle starts a family in the future, your daughter and son-in-law will surely prepare a thick gift, ensuring uncle won’t lose out, so you can be completely at ease!"
Seeing Old Granny Zhang still hesitant, she couldn’t help but feign grievance, "Now that mom has uncle, you’ve even forgotten your own daughter, thinking only of uncle, alas—"
Old Granny Zhang spat playfully at Wang Yongzhu, poked her forehead, and Wang Yongzhu clung to Old Granny Zhang’s arm acting spoiled until Old Granny Zhang laughed happily.
Outside the courtyard, Old Madam Ding, Old Granny Wu, and Gu Yu were in the kitchen preparing the evening meal, as the uncle arrived, a distinguished guest! They must prepare a decent feast.
