Chapter 221 Mind
Two days before Xie Zhao got engaged, Li Tao and Fang Fang also arrived in Kyoto and were directly taken to Houhai's house by Xie Zhao. Friends rarely have the opportunity to meet in recent years, but their friendship was the purest and most profound. From the station to the present, although Li Tao and Fang Fang felt that their youthful friend was living well, they were still surprised when they saw this three-in-one mansion.
After being taken to the yard by Xie Zhao, Li Tao and Fang Fang looked at each other and smiled. Xie Zhao's smile on his face had never disappeared since he met. He thought he was very comfortable, so that's good. The two of them knew Xie Zhao. If someone hadn't loved and spoiled, there was no worries about Xie Zhao's sensitive and thoughtful temperament, he wouldn't be like this now, with light in his eyes and no worries in his eyes. They hadn't been completely relieved until now. After all, they knew from correspondence in recent years that Xie Zhao had been doing well, but they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, and they would always be a little worried.
Xie Zhao called someone to bring food. After the three of them used it, they finally sat down to talk about their lives. When they met with old friends, they might have understood Xie Zhao's temperament, Li Tao or Fang Fang, but they were a little excited when they first met at the station, but now they calmed down a lot. However, the sincere feelings between them were enviable. Li Tao took out a square box from his suitcase and handed it to Xie Zhao.
Looking at Xie Zhao looking at him in confusion, Li Tao said softly: "Zhaozhao, my mother has no time to come. This is what she gave you. I don't know what it is. You can open it yourself and see!"
Xie Zhao paused when he heard this. The aunt who treated him sincerely kept opening the box with her fingers and was stunned when she saw the things inside. One side of the box was neatly placed with a dozen hundred-dollar bills, which was less than 10,000 yuan thick. On the other side, there was a jewelry box. Xie Zhao took it out and opened it. He saw a complete set of gold jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and anklets.
Fang Fang looked at Xie Zhao staring at the box without saying anything, then stretched her neck curiously. Even Li Tao was very curious. The box was put in the suitcase by her mother before leaving, saying it was a gift to Xie Zhao. Seeing the things inside, Li Tao couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. This behavior is really something her own mother can do, but the intentions in it are from friends at home.
Fang Fang also browed. The aunt from his friend's family was still so straightforward and rough. She treated Xie Zhao as her daughter. According to the customs of their hometown, the amount of money tied with red paper was for the mother to put her daughter on the waist. This jewelry was the jewelry that the mother gave her daughter to put on the box, but the money was given a little more, and the weight of the jewelry was a bit heavy. Everything else was normal. It was normal. Whose mother was so rich and generous and dared to give her daughter private money like this.
Even when my mother gets engaged, she only gives sixty-six, eighty-eight or ninety-nine to get a good start. She loves her daughter and has a wealthy family. At most, she can only change it to hundreds. Not to mention this jewelry. It would be not good to have such a gold jewelry. Oh, it would definitely not weigh any of the jewelry. This set of jewelry is a necklace of hundreds of grams and a bracelet of dozens of grams. Who dares to wear it on her body?
Xie Zhao took out a letter from the bottom of the box. Xie Zhao read it several times over and over again. The aunt meant that the jewelry that was under the waist was the rules of their hometown. These were all prepared by the mother's mother for the daughter who was married, that is, the private money prepared for the daughter. When she got married to her in-laws, she would be confident in her heart. She would not swallow her anger at her in-laws' house, nor would she be underestimated by her in-laws!
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and finally Li Tao swallowed and said, "When I bought this jewelry, I knew that my mother bought two sets of exactly the same ones. I looked at such a nouveau riche's gold jewelry and thought my mother wanted to buy it for appreciation. Over the years, she bought a lot of gold jewelry and gave it to my sister-in-law some, but it was not as heavy as that. She asked about platinum before, and I thought she would buy a set of platinum jewelry for Xie Zhao!"
"Auntie is still as generous and careless as she used to be back then. A few days ago, when I went to your house, I met an aunt. The aunt disliked me for being so old and not looking for a partner. Like you, she was only old but not brainy. She said that the three of us, even the youngest Zhaozhao, were getting engaged. No one wanted to ask for someone to ask for someone to go on a blind date with you!" After a while, Fang Fang complained with a little hopelessness.
Xie Zhao held the box in his hand tightly, his eyes heated up, and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said softly: "Auntie said back then that she thought she had raised an extra daughter. But I didn't expect that my aunt was afraid that I would not have made this rule for me by mother, so she actually prepared this for me. Taozi, does my sister-in-law know? My aunt lives with her brother and sister-in-law now. If it is because of this, she will make a gap between her sister-in-law!"
"Don't worry about this. Our mother is the leader. Not to mention my elder brother and sister-in-law, even my father has to listen to my mother. A few years ago, when my grandmother was still there, my mother had the final say, let alone now, Zhaozhao, I'm serious, my mother is rich now and has a great reputation at home. No one dares to mess with her. Even if she bought me a house before, my brother and sister-in-law were fine!" Li Tao said indifferently.
There is still a gap! The only mother-in-law in the family is like her sister-in-law. Li Tao thinks that even her mother-in-law talks about the Sun Fang, and her sister-in-law can also talk about the real whole of Fang! They say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with, but Li Tao doesn't think that the men in their family don't care about the matter. When grandma is still there, father listens to grandma and mother, but grandma is gone. Dad and brother listen to mother's mother. She always thinks that only her mother's temperament is that she may not get along well if she marrys a daughter-in-law.
But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along like a biological mother-in-law. Sometimes Li Tao feels that her sister-in-law is so close to her mother-in-law. I am afraid that her mother-in-law is not as good as her mother-in-law. For a while, Li Tao always suspected that her sister-in-law agreed to marry her brother, but she didn't like her brother, but her mother-in-law. After all, Li Tao has never seen any daughter-in-law who listens to her mother-in-law so much. She is so obedient!
Xie Zhao kept hearing Li Tao say that she knew that her sister-in-law was filial, but that... but that's good. The aunt was kind-hearted and could treat her sincerely as an outsider, let alone her daughter-in-law. The sister-in-law of the Li family was smart and successful in doing this. Brother Li Tao was too dull. She could live a good life after marrying a wife with a successful one, just like their aunt. After all, Xie Zhao was only in her teens back then, so she could not believe her and put her money on her job, otherwise she would not have such a good life now!
