Chapter 108 What is this_1
"What is this?" Mrs. Cheng couldn’t help but be startled, subconsciously opening the box in her hands. The moment she saw the thick and hefty gold chain inside, she was taken aback, inhaling sharply before snapping the box shut and pushing it back to Xia Ningxing, "Bao’er, how can you give such a valuable thing to Grandma? Take it back quickly."
Xia Ningxing affectionately wrapped her arms around Mrs. Cheng’s arm, her overly pretty face tilted slightly upward as she pouted and reminded, "Grandma, have you forgotten? You once sold your gold chain to pay for my pneumonia treatment. There’s a saying that what is borrowed must be returned; this is me returning it to you."
Originally, during the New Year’s celebrations, Xia Ningxing had intended to buy a gold chain to repay the elderly lady, but unexpectedly, the distressing matter concerning Xia Jianren occurred.
Afterward, with the house construction, it was postponed, leading to the present delay.
Mrs. Cheng certainly remembered this event, but this gold chain was nearly as heavy as her three put together.
Furthermore, she had never thought of asking them to repay her; now, with tears of emotion gathering in the corners of her eyes, she choked up as she pushed the chain back into her hands, "Bao’er, let’s not mention those long-past trivial matters. Keep the chain for yourself; you can use it as your dowry in the future."
Actually, all she wanted was for her granddaughter to remember her; the rest was not important.
"Yes, Bao’er, keep it for yourself. Uncle will buy one for Grandma once he starts earning money," Uncle Lin said as he patted her little head.
Aunt Lin also chimed in, "Bao’er, be good and keep it for yourself."
