Seeing the pile of items his father pushed in front of him, Yuan Zhaodi almost jumped up on the spot.
A longevity lock, silver bracelets, silver anklets, uh, and little gold fish, little bells...
"Dad, isn’t this too much?"
Yuan Zhaodi looked a bit distressed; if all these were really given to his daughter, wouldn’t the whole house be in an uproar?
Old Yuan, upon hearing this, chuckled proudly and said, "Too much what?"
"Ever since before your elder brother was born, your mother and I have been wishing for a girl in our family, and every time we prepared a little trinket, every time we were left disappointed."
"After all these years, I’ve finally gotten my wish!"
"It’s not too much, not at all!"
Old Yuan was quite domineering.
Next to him, Old Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Zeng, also chimed in, "Exactly, your dad’s right, it’s not too much at all!"
"Even the fortune teller said, ’A solitary yin cannot grow, a solitary yang cannot be born.’ Our Yuan family has passed through five generations, only now do we have a baby girl."
"Wasn’t it three generations?"
Yuan Zhaodi blinked; he had heard his parents mention it since he was little.
"You silly head, you brothers are the fourth generation, and your kids, aren’t they the fifth?"
Mrs. Zeng gave the fourth son a disdainful look.
"Dad, Mom, no, I still think it’s too much. I’m afraid Jiaojiao won’t be able to handle the burden!"
Old Yuan raised his hand and waved it down, "In our Yuan family, with over twenty men, what’s there that can’t be handled?"
Yuan Zhaodi didn’t want to speak, he felt exhausted.
Originally, having a daughter made the family particularly attentive; such a disparity in treatment might be manageable in the short term, but long term, who knows if his brothers and sisters-in-law might harbor discontent.
But at least, there was some buffer time.
But now, with the stuff his parents laid out, if his brothers and sisters-in-law found out, wouldn’t they immediately fall out?
"Dad, Mom, I still think it’s too much!"
"These things, they’re worth a fortune."
"Jiaojiao is still young and can’t use them. How about you two elders store them for now?"
Seeing he couldn’t directly convince his parents, Yuan Zhaodi could only attempt a stalling tactic.
Unfortunately, his parents hardly paid attention to what he was saying.
In the end, Yuan Zhaodi could only retreat in defeat. The rightful source is NovєlFіre.net
What caught Yuan Zhaodi by surprise was that the next morning, things escalated beyond his expectations.
His second uncle, Yuan Lu, and third uncle, Yuan Shou, arrived at their house early, each bringing gifts for his daughter.
Silver necklaces, longevity locks, silver anklets, gold pendants...
Their gifts were remarkably similar.
"This is a disaster!"
Yuan Zhaodi, looking at the gifts from his two uncles, thought of the many little items at his parents’ place, and could only feel, this family was doomed!
Yet, could Yuan Zhaodi refuse the sincere kindness of the two elders?
When elders gift, one dare not decline!
Just when Yuan Zhaodi thought their family’s peace and harmony was about to be shattered, bizarre circumstances played out again.
His three brothers and sisters-in-law also presented complete sets of silver trinkets.
Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li’s hearts were cold and heavy.
Unfortunately, that was not the end!
Yuan Zhaodi’s cousins and their spouses also presented quite valuable gifts.
Looking at the small box filled to the brim with silver jewelry, the couple exchanged glances filled with heavy hearts, looking at their sweetly sleeping baby daughter, unsure whether to feel happy or worried.
