Chapter 481: The Generous Ms. Yan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan finally understood why the Yan Family wished to marry their daughter to Shao Silang, when she was already 20 years old.
The Yan Family was slightly wealthy and loved the daughter. So, they were quite particular when it came to son-in-laws.
But Ms. Yan looked really ordinary, and the Yan Family were not incomparably rich. Since the Yan Family was particular about their son-in-law, she was not married until 20 years old.
That was when the Yan Family got so anxious.
The Yan Family would never have wanted to marry their daughter to people like the second section of the family. But things were different. Seeing that the second section of the family was offering 15 liang as a wedding gift, the Yan Family approved of the marriage.
Otherwise their daughter would become an old spinster.
Shao Silang was just lucky.
Ms. Yan served the senior people in the family tea, whilst Qiao Xuan, Qi and Taotao were waiting for her to address them differently after seeing the presents.
What surprised them most of all was that Ms. Yan had prepared presents for Qi, Taotao, Shao Junyan and Shao Qing. Taotao and Shao Qing were given a pair of pink silk flowers whilst Qi and Shao Junyan were given a purse of sapphire colored flowers each.
The whole first section of the family got shocked. Their eyes were widened.
The second section of the family was so stingy that they had never received presents from them. Ms. Yan’s actions shocked them all.
Even Ms. Xu tried to turn down the present, but thanked Ms. Yan for her kindness.
Taotao and Qi kept pushing the presents away. “No, no, thanks…”
Ms. Niu looked surprised too.
Apparently, that was Ms. Yan’s own idea, which had not been shared with Ms. Niu.
Ms. Niu took the opportunity and smiled. “Ms. Yan, they don’t lack any of these things, just take them back!”
“Mom, these are my wishes for them. I am not taking them back!” Ms. Yan smiled. She sounded gentle but had a very firm attitude. “Cousin, Taotao and Qi, accept them! Are you all looking down at my presents?” They all hesitated and turned to Ms. Fang for help.
Ms. Fang smiled. “Just accept the kindness from Ms. Yan!”
Ms. Niu was not very pleased. But she could not teach her newly-wedded daughter-in-law a lesson in front of others. So she had to drop it.
After they left, Qi and Ms. Xu opened the purses and found that there were eight pennies inside each of them.
They were even more surprised.
“Is she a little too generous?”
Although the first section of the family did not think that eight pennies was a lot, yet for villagers, that was already a huge amount!
Ms. Fang smiled. “Just accept it. Ms. Yan seems nice.”
Ms. Yan must have heard of the relationship between the three sections of the family, but she still did so. It also seemed that Ms. Niu had no idea about this. Apparently, Ms. Yan had the intention of befriending the first section of the family.
Ms. Fang did not think that it was something bad.
As long as Ms. Yan did not do anything against them.
If she did, she would teach her a lesson too…
Honestly, if Ms. Yan dared to be calculative towards the first section of the family, she would end up in a bad situation.
Back home, Ms. Niu wasn’t that pleased. But she still avoided Ms. Zhang and said to the newly-weds, “Ms.. Yan, why did you offer them so many presents?
