"Thatâs great then! I just wonder if your mother-in-law will agree. If she doesnât, donât argue with her. I appreciate your kind gesture."
According to what Yang Jinling just said about her mother-in-law, I could tell that she is not easy to get along with. I donât want to cause any trouble between Yang Jinling and her family because of me.
Hearing this, Yang Jinling laughed and said, "No problem, let me share a secret with you. I dare not say this about others, but if itâs your family, my mother-in-law will surely agree. Your family has a good reputation in our village and town, I know my mother-in-law best."
She didnât finish her sentence, but they all understood her meaning. It seems that her mother-in-law is quite pragmatic and knowing that Yang Jinling could get attached to such a wealthy family like yours, she wouldnât object.
"If thatâs the case, thatâs good. Come often from now on, just say youâre here to see me."
"Thatâs a fantastic idea. You are full of bright ideas." Yang Jinling laughed. This strategy is indeed good. She can visit her family more often in the future.
"Hmm..." Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and asked, "Is your husband good to you?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinling initially blushed, but nodded, "My husband is very good."
"As long as he is good, after all, your husband is the one to spend your life with."
"Yes, I know."
Yang Jinxiu, listening to the conversation between the two, laughed, "Big sister, Xiaxia seems to understand things even better than you do."
"Xiaxia, exactly." Yang Jinling, somewhat envious, said, "Itâs because she understands that sheâs blessed. In the past, many people in the village didnât like Brother An, but only Xiaxia saw the good in him. Now, see how good Brother An treats Xiaxia. When they get married in the future, they will have none of those annoying problems and life will be really comfy."
Yang Jinxiu also said, "Absolutely! She wonât need to serve her in-laws, just serve her husband. I bet in the future, Brother An will be the one serving you."
"Exactly, exactly!"
The two sisters chatted away, laughing and forgetting about Ms. Li Junior in the room.
Ms. Li Junior was odd indeed. Others would have left by now, but she insisted on staying, waiting to see what dowry Yang Chuxia will give.
But Yang Chuxia didnât show anything, which made Ms. Li Juniorâs face fall.
When she heard Yang Jinxiu envying Yang Chuxia for not having to serve her in-laws, she couldnât help but put in her own piece, "Jinxiu, your thinking isnât right. Itâs a womanâs duty to serve her in-laws. Listening to you, it sounds like youâre not willing to. This wonât do. Iâm going to tell your mother-in-law. If your mother doesnât teach you manners, itâs time for your mother-in-law to do so."
Yang Jinxiu and Yang Jinling were immediately enraged by her words, but they held their tongues because they didnât want to upset their aunt.
"You really are a great aunt!" Yang Chuxia couldnât stand her anymore and said, "They say that when a woman marries, she becomes part of her husbandâs family and should always consider their interest. But you, after being married for so many years, you still think about your own family. Technically, Jinxiu is your husbandâs niece, you donât have to favor her, but to purposely slander Jinxiu in front of her mother-in-law, thatâs really shameless."
After being reminded by Yang Chuxia, Yang Jinling also realized, "Exactly, when has Jinxiu ever said sheâs not willing to serve her in-laws? Aunt, if youâre having a problem with your hearing, you should go get it checked."
"You...!"
Ms. Li Junior obviously didnât dare to confront Yang Chuxia, but she was not scared of Yang Jinling, she retorted, "How dare you insult me! Wait till I tell your parents, to see how theyâve taught you. No wonder your mother-in-law doesnât like you."
