288 Eldest Aunt’s Confrontation (2)

Chen Qiuxiang glanced at her third daughter-in-law, who was following behind her mother-in-law. When she saw her red and swollen eyes, she sighed softly.

It seemed that this third daughter-in-law had definitely not competed with her in-laws. She felt extremely aggrieved.

Chen Qiuxiang took out a piece of silver jewelry from her bag. She walked up to the third daughter-in-law and said, “I originally wanted to give it to you as a wedding gift for you and Zhiqiang when I went to your house. Since you’re here, I’ll give you this silver hand now!”

Chen Guixiang’s eyes lit up when she saw the silver bracelet.

!!

Before her third daughter-in-law could take it, she snatched it from Chen Qiuxiang’s hand and said with a smile, “Sister, you’re too polite. Qingmei, thank Aunt!”

However, she did not give the bracelet to her third daughter-in-law.

The third daughter-in-law was about to cry again.

Chen Qiuxiang couldn’t stand it anymore. Without another word, she snatched the silver bracelet back from her second sister and put it on her third daughter-in-law. She said, “This is a gift from Aunt. Take it with you!”

“Thank you, Aunt!” The third daughter-in-law was very grateful.

Just as Chen Guixiang was about to say something, Chen Qiuxiang’s sharp gaze shot over and she said sternly, “Second Sister, do you behave like a mother-in-law? On the second day of the Lunar New Year, not only did you bring your daughter-in-law to your maternal family, but now you even want to snatch the item I gave Third Nephew’s wife. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

Chen Guixiang looked embarrassed and defended herself. “Sister, I’m just taking a look. I’ll return it to her.”

“Return it? Will you return it?” Chen Qiuxiang sneered. “I’ve been with you and your sister for decades. Do you think I don’t know your personality? You’ve always liked to take advantage of others since you were young. As long as it’s something good, you would want it. Now that you’re a mother-in-law and a Grandma, you haven’t changed your greedy personality. In the past, I didn’t care how you took advantage of others, but this time, I’m giving Third Nephew’s wife a wedding gift. I can’t let you take it.”

Chen Guixiang’s expression instantly turned ugly. She said, “Sister, don’t make it sound so unpleasant. Can’t I just take it out to take a look? Why must you say that I like to take advantage of others? Besides, since Qingmei married into our family, doesn’t everything she has belong to her in-laws?”

It was only natural for her to say that.

“She married into your family; she did not sell herself to you!” Chen Qiuxiang said in disagreement. “Also, let me remind you. It’s ten years to look at a mother-in-law, and ten years to look at a daughter-in-law! Human hearts are made of flesh. How you treat your daughter-in-law now will be how your daughter-in-law treats you in the future!”

“Eldest Sister is right! Ten years to look at your mother-in-law, and ten years to look at your daughter-in-law. Second Sister, we have to learn from Eldest Sister. Look at Eldest Sister. She treats her daughter-in-law like her own daughter. Whatever is good, she has to prioritize her daughter-in-law and think about her daughter-in-law first.” Fourth Sister, Chen Xiangxiang, said with a smile, “Eldest Sister, you’re the sensible one. You’ve handled your relationship with your daughter-in-law so well. We still have to learn from you how to be a good mother-in-law!”

Chen Xiangxiang might be smiling, but she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It was a treacherous smile!

She sounded like she was flattering her elder sister. In fact, she was saying that as a mother-in-law, she had no dignity at all and was afraid of her daughter-in-law!

Chen Qiuxiang had been her sister for decades. She knew her well enough to know if the fart she farted was fragrant or smelly!

Chen Qiuxiang smiled and said, “Fourth Sister, I heard that your eldest son fell in love with a girl at the end of the year?”

At the mention of this, Chen Xiangxiang said smugly, “Of course!”

“Which family is she from?” Chen Qiuxiang asked. “How’s her family background?”

Her fourth sister was a snob.

In the past, her eldest son had seen many girls. They either despised their looks or their families. In any case, none of them liked him.

However, when she heard that he had taken a fancy to a girl at the end of last year, she was especially satisfied.

To be able to satisfy her, other than her looks, that girl’s family background would have to satisfy her!

“She works at the Health Bureau and is a civil servant with a cradle-to-grave job!” Chen Xiangxiang said happily. “Her father is the director of the Health Bureau!”

Chen Qiuxiang nodded.

She knew it. That girl’s family background would definitely satisfy her.

“When are you getting engaged?” Chen Guixiang asked happily. “Fourth Sister, is that girl pretty?”

“She’s beautiful!” Chen Xiangxiang said. “If she’s not beautiful, I definitely won’t like her! We decided to dispense with the engagement and have them get married straight away. The wedding date is set at the beginning of February!”

“Ah, congratulations, Fourth Sister! You’ve got a pretty and well-off girl. That’s really not bad.” Chen Dongxiang smiled and said, “Then we’ll wait for your wedding banquet. We’ll go over early to help that day!”

When holding banquets in the countryside, they usually did it themselves and asked the villagers for help. Some relatives and friends also came to help.

“No need, no need!” Chen Xiangxiang shook her head and said, “We’re preparing to order food in town. When the time comes, you can come straight to our house to chat. You don’t have to help with the work!”

“Ah, order food? I heard it’s very expensive?” Chen Guixiang was a little surprised. “A table costs a few hundred dollars. How many tables are you preparing?”

Chen Xiangxiang waved her hand and said, “It’s not expensive. It’s just 298 dollars per table. There are only 20 to 30 tables for our relatives!”

“298 dollars per table isn’t expensive?” Chen Dongxiang was a little surprised. “More than 20 tables, that’s 7,000 to 8,000 dollars. If we make it ourselves, a table would at most cost about 150 dollars.”

Chen Xiangxiang said, “Isn’t that for their reputation? After all, they have some status. If they do it themselves, it would be so embarrassing!”

In fact, her heart was bleeding when she did the math.

However, her daughter-in-law insisted on going to a restaurant to book meals. Otherwise, she would not marry. Therefore, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

“That’s true. The other party’s family members all civil servants. When the time comes, the guests who come to eat will definitely comprise cadres. If we let them eat in the countryside, they will definitely be unhappy.”

“Fourth Sister, congratulations on finding such a good family.”

“Fourth Sister, does Zhiyue have a job now? Does he go to the Health Bureau with his wife?”

Chen Qiuxiang saw that her three sisters seemed to be chatting well, so she left with Shi Lichun and went to the living room.

When they arrived at the living room, they saw a bunch of men huddled there, smoking or talking loudly.

Seeing Chen Qiuxiang and Shi Lichun’s arrival, these men cried out.

“Eldest Sister, Brother-in-law!”

…

“Eldest Aunt, Eldest Uncle!”

…

“Eldest Sister!” her youngest brother said excitedly, “Eldest Sister, you have to help me.”

Chen Qiuxiang frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “Yao’er, what do you want me to help with?”

“I want to buy a house! The other sisters have gathered 100,000 dollars. You can make up for the rest!”

“How much more is left?”

...

“100,000!”
