Old Mr. Liu’s heart was very warm. He threw a smug look at Old Mrs. Liu and said, “Yes.”
Shui Xian looked at her mother-in-law, who she had never been able to please in her entire life, and she was so fond of Yang Cailan. She asked Bai Feng angrily, “Who exactly is her mother-in-law?”
When Bai Feng heard that, she immediately perked up and said, “Mother, Lan doesn’t respect you at all.”
Shui Xian looked at Bai Feng strangely. She said, “Bai Feng, you’re not thinking of anything good. Lan has a simple personality. Don’t bully her in the future.”
Bai Feng pondered, ‘Who did I speak for earlier? How could she change too fast? I couldn’t keep up.’
Yang Cailan made her grandparents laugh. Old Mrs. Liu even gave her a bracelet and said, “This bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law back then. She asked me to give it to the daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the future. It’s yours now.”
Shui Xian, who was also the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and Bai Feng were speechless.
Shui Xian glared at Liu Fu. He had never mentioned this to her before. Suddenly, there was a bracelet.
Bai Feng also glanced at Liu Baihe.
As for Yang Cailan, she was pleasantly surprised. She said, “Thank you, Grandma. It’s so beautiful!”
Yang Cailan did not refuse. Besides, she had always liked this kind of jade. She fiddled with it in front of Liu Baishan and asked, “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Yes!” Liu Baishan nodded. Yang Cailan had fair skin, and the jade bracelet on her wrist looked really beautiful.
Yang Cailan was satisfied after showing off. Her attitude towards Old Mrs. Liu had also changed. Although Old Mrs. Liu looked mean, she was a nice person.
“Grandma, this is for you. Liu Baishan and I are giving it to you as a gift!” said Yang Cailan. She had her own way of contacting people, so she had to be polite to them. Then, she returned to her room and took out a small wooden box, and handed it to Old Mrs. Liu.
Old Mrs. Liu did not expect Yang Cailan to give her a present. It seemed that Yang Cailan had prepared it long ago. Old Mrs. Liu thought, ‘Could it be that this little girl had always been thinking about me?’
Old Mrs. Liu was very moved at the thought of this and hurriedly opened the small box.
It was actually a set of gold jewelry, bracelets, earrings, and pendants. It was the kind that was very suitable for the elderly to wear, symbolizing longevity and health.
Old Mrs. Liu almost fainted from fright. She asked, “Are these for me?”
Although Old Mrs. Liu had given Yang Cailan the bracelet very straightforwardly, in her eyes, jade was not worth much. There was a saying that gold in troubled times was an antique in prosperous times. That was why Old Mrs. Liu had always liked gold.
Nearby, Shui Xian was still alright. Yang Cailan had given Shui Xian a set of gifts anyway, and she even had two more gold rings.
However, Bai Feng did not feel good. If it were not for her rationality, she would have taken a bite and seen if it was real gold.
Yang Cailan helped Old Mrs. Liu put accessories on and said, “Do you like the gifts Liu Baishan and I gave you, Grandma”
As Yang Cailan spoke, she winked at Liu Baishan.
Liu Baishan’s face darkened when he thought of Yang Cailan’s bag of gold. She promised to keep her money to herself and give it away when she got married. If this got out…
Old Mrs. Liu immediately stuffed the accessories into the box and faked a smile at the others. She said, “This is just gilded. It looks golden and beautiful. It’s not real gold, right, Lan?”
As Old Mrs. Liu spoke, she winked at Yang Cailan. Old Mrs. Liu had lived for so long, so she naturally knew the importance of gold. She could not afford to attract people’s attention.
Yang Cailan understood immediately. Although she did not understand why her grandmother would do that, she still nodded obediently.
Old Mrs. Liu heaved a sigh of relief and turned to warn Shui Xian and Bai Feng, “This is gilded. If you’re envious, give me a set too. I don’t mind that this isn’t real gold. It’s festive just looking at it!”
Shui Xian wanted to spit on Old Mrs. Liu!
Bai Feng had a fake smile on her face. She thought, ‘Did she think I’m stupid? That was obviously real gold.’
Seeing that everyone was looking away, Old Mrs. Liu whispered to Yang Cailan, “Don’t tell anyone about it in the future. This thing can’t be taken out casually. You’re too naive. What if Grandma doesn’t cover for you in the future?”
In fact, it was not surprising that Old Mrs. Liu was worried. At this time, most of the farmers were living in poverty. No one had the money to buy gold. They would rather use their money to buy grain. If this was discovered, it would be difficult not to attract trouble.
“Then Grandma, you’ll have to live to a hundred years old and help me all the time.” Yang Cailan said immediately.
Yang Cailan’s words made Old Mrs. Liu laugh out loud, “Okay, I will try my best to live a long life and help you, Lan!”
Yang Cailan nodded.
Shui Xian, who was beside Yang Cailan, almost fainted. Shui Xian thought, ‘If my mother-in-law lived to be a hundred years old, wouldn’t I have to serve her for the rest of her life?’
