"Isn’t it over two hundred?"
"Or even more expensive?"
"Is everything from that store from Hong Kong?"
Wang Yuemei was shocked again. Was it really that expensive?
She would take it off and put it away after returning home today.
Why had her sister-in-law given her such an expensive watch?
The moment the bell rang, the people who had gathered around quickly dispersed to their respective workstations.
"Yuemei, how does your in-laws’ family treat you?"
While busying herself with her work, Wang Yuemei replied, "My parents-in-law treat me quite well; they haven’t made things difficult for me."
That was actually true.
Wang Yuemei was not foolish, especially since Auntie Wang had talked to her about it.
If it were another family, where the daughter-in-law brought no dowry, they would think about how to grind her down, teach her the rules.
But her parents-in-law had not.
Moreover, as Brother Xiao He had said, after his youngest sister got married, his parents might return to their hometown.
They also needed to go back before the new year to hold a family recognition feast.
The house was large, there were no parents-in-law upstairs, and her husband was good. She had no further demands.
Three days after the wedding, they were supposed to return home.
They did not simply return during the day.
Instead, after work, Zhao Tianhe carried a piece of meat and a fish, bringing Wang Yuemei to visit her parental home. Before going to her parental home, Wang Yuemei even took off the watch, fearing that her sister-in-law at her parental home might see it and want to take it.
This was a wedding gift from her sister-in-law at her husband’s family.
"Auntie, time to cook..."
Before they even reached upstairs, Zhao Tianhe greeted everyone while carrying the items.
In fact, this homecoming did not necessarily need to happen.
But they couldn’t let others talk about it.
His sister-in-law had instructed him to return home in a conspicuous manner, and he had done it quite tactfully.
The moment they reached upstairs, people gathered together and started talking.
"This son-in-law from the Wang family is a solid man. Initially when the youngest sister got married, his parents didn’t prepare any dowry, yet today he returned bearing meat and fish, and I also saw the youngest sister wearing a new cotton-padded jacket."
"The youngest sister used to wear Dongmei’s old clothes, but now that she’s married, she finally has new clothes."
"It seems her in-laws chose well."
"I heard that the matchmaker is Auntie Wang from next door, who found a good young man for the youngest sister."
As soon as Zhao Tianhe and Wang Yuemei reached upstairs, they knocked on the door.
At that moment, not all of the Wang family members had returned.
As Mrs. Wang opened the door, she saw her son-in-law and daughter had come.
They also brought meat and fish.
"Xiao Zhao, youngest sister, you’re back."
Zhao Tianhe smiled brightly, "Mom, today wasn’t a customary day to return, and during the day we had to work. As soon as we were off, we hurried over. Have dad and the others not gotten off work yet?"
"They should be arriving soon." Mrs. Wang’s gaze fell on her youngest daughter’s clothes. New clothes?
That coat looks quite nice.
It seems the in-laws do care about him.
Now that her son-in-law had brought her youngest daughter home, Mrs. Wang, as the mother, of course had to ask.
"Youngest sister, come help out."
Zhao Tianhe really wanted to grab Wang Yuemei and, right in front of him, ask his wife to help out. Previously, it didn’t matter how you commanded her before she was married, but now that she’s married, ordering her around in front of me isn’t right."
"Mom, shall I help instead?"
Mrs. Wang quickly refused, for having her son-in-law help out in the kitchen, if people found out, they wouldn’t know how to speak of her.
The day they got married, people were already making fun of their family.
If those old ladies found out that her son-in-law brought her youngest daughter back home and she, as the mother-in-law, let her son-in-law help in the kitchen, they would still not know what to say.
