C101 The Family Heirloom of the Mother-in-law
C101 The Family Heirloom of the Mother-in-law
He was very clear on the existence of his daughter as his mother-in-law. He firmly believed that even if his son-in-law was a scumbag without any morals, he could still be transformed.
Now that she saw Lee Nanfang in person, her mother-in-law was completely relieved. Whose scum is she, and how could she be shy of this kind of elegance? She was such a perfect child, and when she saw him being led here by Tongtong, she felt a little embarrassed.
When Lee Nanfang was supported by his mother-in-law, he knelt down naturally on one knee. This way, it would make it easier for her to look at him.
"Good child, you're a good child indeed. Compared to ten years ago, you are completely different."
His mother-in-law's face was filled with an expression of love as she caressed Lee Nanfang's face and muttered to him.
Lee Nanfang clearly felt the warmth of motherly love from his mother-in-law's actions. This gave him a distinct illusion that he was kneeling in front of his mother-in-law. He couldn't help but raise his hand, touch his mother-in-law's hand and close his eyes.
For instance, right now, his mother-in-law could clearly feel that he had already treated her as his most beloved mother, which immediately resonated with her. She reached out to hug him, put her cheek on his head, and softly said: "Nanfang, all these years, you've suffered."
Yue Zitong, who was watching on the side, couldn't help but click her tongue. Damn, this scum's acting skills are too terrifying. He managed to convince her mother just by meeting her, making them the real mother and son. I'm just an outsider.
"It's all over, little …"
Lee Nanfang had called his mother-in-law Little Grandmother (Yue Zitong's mother was Lao Yue's youngest son's daughter, Daughter-in-law) ten years ago when they were at the Yue family's residence. Now that he was about to address her as she was ten years ago, he felt that it wasn't appropriate to address her as such.
Before Yue Zitong could say anything, his mother-in-law lightly patted his back and rebuked, "Silly child, you and Tongtong are now husband and wife, how can you call her aunt? After that, just call her Tongtong. As for what you should call me, do you still need me to teach you? "
"Mom."
Lee Nanfang immediately called her mom obediently, making Yue Zitong feel nauseous.
"Sigh!"
His mother-in-law immediately agreed with a smile. She took out a jade pendant with red strings from her pocket and brought it to Lee Nanfang's neck. This was to follow the old tradition of greeting him.
This made Lee Nanfang feel slightly awkward. In his subconscious, other people took out the family heirloom of their daughter-in-law to coax Daughter-in-law to quickly give her a grandson. What was the meaning of giving this to a son-in-law? Did she think a son-in-law would have children?
However, he soon felt relieved. Since he called his mother-in-law his mother from the bottom of his heart, what could he do about her treating him like Daughter-in-law? Anyway, it was Yue Zitong who was in pain to have children, he just needed to cultivate and sow the seeds happily.
"Mom!"
Just as Lee Nanfang lowered his head and his mother-in-law put the jade on his neck, Yue Zitong, who was beside him, was shocked. She reached out her hand to grab the jade, "Why did you give this to him? "No way!"
What, I already sweetly called her mother. Can't you give me a piece of jade and wear it?
Lee Nanfang was a bit unhappy. When he glanced at Yue Zitong with the corner of his eyes, he secretly nudged her under the ribs. She immediately felt the right elbow of the jade pendant go numb and let go.
"Tongtong, Nanfang is my son-in-law, he is my son. So what if I give him the jade?"
His mother-in-law was also displeased and slightly frowned as she scolded her daughter.
"Mom, you can give me anything else you want, but not this. This is a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation in my maternal grandma's family. You said that you would leave it for me. I don't care, you can't give it to him, you have to give it to me."
Yue Zitong said, reaching out to snatch it again.
Lee Nanfang raised his hand to block Yue Zitong as he said, "Mom, since this jade pendant is so valuable, I don't dare to take it. You should just give it to aunt. She … she is more qualified to wear it than I am. "
As he finished speaking, a dejected look surfaced on his son-in-law's face.
This made his mother-in-law's heart ache. She looked at her daughter and scolded, "Tongtong, what happened to you? Since you and Nanfang are husband and wife, I will give the jade pendant to him.
This is the big difference, I don't have any intention of marrying this kid!
Yue Zitong blurted out those words. Luckily, she forcefully swallowed her words. She seemed to be speechless.
That was the big boss of Kaihuang Group, a thing worth around three to five million would not be able to move her heart, but now, for a jade pendant, she had to suppress her face to the point of blushing, as if she wanted to dig out her heart. This could only prove that the jade pendant was a good thing.
This is something my mother-in-law wants to give me, how can I give it to you?
Lee Nanfang sneered in his heart, and the sadness on his face deepened. He shook his hand and refused, "Mom, give the jade pendant to Tongtong. "She's right, this is your family's family heirloom. As a foreigner, I am not qualified to wear it."
If he had not said those words and Yue Zitong had persisted for a few more sentences, his mother-in-law might have really changed her mind. After all, this jade pendant had been passed down for tens of generations, but there had never been a precedent for giving it to a son-in-law.
"Nonsense, you're my son-in-law now, and I'm counting on you to give up your old age in the future. If I don't give it to you, who else would I give it to?"
After being cautious in the Wealthy Class for so many years, his mother-in-law had changed a lot the moment she left the cage and came into her own world. She enjoyed being able to speak highly of her daughter and son-in-law.
Lee Nanfang immediately squatted down obediently and let his mother-in-law put the jade pendant on his neck.
Yue Zitong, who was at the side, stomped her feet and shouted, "Mom, this is something Emperor Yang personally gave to grandma Taizu. How, how can you give it to him? Sigh!"
What? Yang Emperor? Which Yang Emperor?
Lee Nanfang was confused and looked at Yue Zitong.
Yue Zitong was such a smart person, how could she not see that the words she said just now were to provoke her mother-in-law to give him the jade pendant? When he saw it, she immediately glared at him viciously.
Yue Yang's mother held the jade pendant in her hand and held it for a moment, then sighed: "Sigh, Nanfang, take good care of this jade pendant, this is the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang, he gave it to my great grandmother as a token of love, to date, it has been passed down for thirty-seven generations."
Lee Nanfang was instantly struck dumb. "Sui, Emperor Suiyang, Yang Guang?"
"Yes, it's Emperor Yang, Yang Guang."
Yue Zitong said with a sneer, "Brat, you've struck it rich this time, hah."
If this jade pendant was bought by some ancestor of Yue Zitong's with two taels of silver from a jade dealer and passed down as a family heirloom from generation to generation, Lee Nanfang definitely wouldn't give it to anyone else.
Yue Zitong also can't do it. I didn't hear it clearly from my mother-in-law. Is this the reward for letting me send her off?
However, this piece of jade was related to Emperor Yang, Yang Guang, who was the most depraved in all of history. Not to mention a piece of jade, even if it was a normal stone, it would still be incomparably precious.
What's more, what kind of love was this?
No matter how thick-skinned Lee Nanfang was, no matter how greedy he was, he wouldn't dare to fight with Yue Zitong over the jade pendant. In a fluster, he reached out to pick it up: "Ah, Mom, I can't bear to do that. I —"
His mother-in-law raised her hand to gently press down on his arm. As if she had seen it for the first time, she lowered her head and observed him without saying a word.
Lee Nanfang was a little flustered by her gaze. He was about to move away, but his heart was calm. No matter what, I will be as filial as you as my wife from now on.
"Nanfang, take good care of it."
His mother-in-law said, "When you and Zitong have a child, when the child grows up, you can pass it on to the child. This jade pendant has been passed down from generation to generation in our Yang Family for thirty-seven generations. It seems like the arrangements for you to take care of this matter are out of the blue. "
This jade pendant had such a great significance to the Yang Family, and her mother-in-law had even gifted it to Lee Nanfang instead of passing it on to her daughter.
Subconsciously, she wanted to curry favor with Lee Nanfang and hoped that he would treat her daughter well. That was why she gave him the most precious thing.
"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely listen to you and take care of the jade pendant."
Lee Nanfang did not swear anything, nor did he swear anything, and even though his voice was very soft, he was sure that this was the second time he promised someone.
The first time was when he swore that he would never make his mistress cry again.
His mother-in-law smiled warmly and patted him on the shoulder.
"Mom, I'll go cook. Please wait for a moment, it won't be long."
Lee Nanfang stood up, turned around and walked towards the kitchen quickly. He rolled up his sleeves to let his mother-in-law see his son-in-law's amazing skill in changing her teeth, so she could repay his kindness.
Yue Zitong bought a lot of ingredients. She bought mushrooms, tofu, and green radishes, but not meat.
It seemed that his mother-in-law liked to eat vegetarian food, or else she just paid special attention to maintenance. Eating more green vegetables and tofu had great benefits for women.
In the end, she remembered that in "Legend of the Condor Hero", Huang Rong had once cooked a dish for Hong Qi Gong called the Twenty-fourth Bridge of the Moon, using tofu, radishes, and fresh fish as raw materials. After eating it, her mother couldn't stop praising him.
Yue Zitong didn't buy any fresh fish, but that didn't matter. Lee Nanfang was confident that he could get the taste of fresh fish through seasonings such as scallion, ginger, and garlic.
"Now, you're very proud, aren't you?"
When Lee Nanfang started to carve the tofu, Yue Zitong walked into the kitchen with a small knife and a small apron tied around her waist. She came in to teach Lee Nanfang a lesson under the guise of being a chef, looked back into the living room, closed the door, crossed her arms and coldly asked.
"What do I have to be proud of?"
Lee Nanfang raised his head and looked at her. "Tongtong, you also …"
"Don't call me Tongtong!"
Yue Zitong leaped over and glared viciously at him as she yelled in a low voice.
"Aunt!"
"Don't call me aunt either!"
"Yue Zitong, are you done yet?"
Lee Nanfang was annoyed. He put down the knife and took the jade pendant. He threw it into her arms and sneered, "Isn't it just a famous person's jade pendant? It's nothing special. You can take it back."
