Chapter 184
184 Old Madam Jin’s Wish
Looking at her parents’ dumbfounded expressions, Li Xiaoran quickly poured a gla.s.s of water for Old Madam Jin.
“This is too serious. You have to let my parents take a breather and digest it! Come, come, come. You must be thirsty after eating the stinky tofu just now. I’ll pour you some water. Make do with it!”
Old Madam Jin also knew that this matter had a huge impact. Seeing Li Xiaoran serve her tea with a smile, she took the water and took two sips.
“This water tastes very good!” After Old Madam Jin drank it, she looked suspicious. “Go and bring some of my good tea over. I want to make tea here!”
A maid beside her nodded and turned to go out to get the tea leaves.
Li Xiaoran, not knowing what Old Madam Jin was up to, was stunned.
“By the way, what are you thinking now?” Old Madam Jin remembered her goal and asked.
“We, we…” Li Shun stammered, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, this was definitely a good thing for them.
However, when this good thing happened to them, he felt that it was a little surreal and was even more terrified.
“I think that’s a good idea!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile as he walked in.
Actually, when Old Madam Jin said her intentions, Luo Cheng had already walked out.
Hearing Old Madam Jin’s words, Luo Cheng stood on the spot and pondered carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was good.
If Old Madam Jin took his wife in as her G.o.d granddaughter, not only would it solve the problem of marriage, but it would also raise Li Xiaoran’s status.
Although he didn’t care about this, it would save Li Xiaoran a lot of trouble in the future.
Seeing that Luo Cheng had arrived and agreed to this matter, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu looked at each other and made a decision.
“Since Old Madam Jin thinks so highly of us, we’ll obey! Xiaoran, quickly come over and call her G.o.d grandma!” Li Shun said.
“Call her Grandma!” Luo Cheng reminded her.
When Li Xiaoran saw that Luo Cheng had agreed to this matter, she immediately smiled.
“Greetings, Grandmother!”
With that, Li Xiaoran knelt down and kowtowed three times to Old Madam Jin.
Now that she had a granddaughter, Old Madam Jin naturally helped Li Xiaoran up from the ground happily.
“You’re so sincere. You actually kowtowed three times!”
With that, Old Madam Jin took off a pair of jade bracelets and put them on Li Xiaoran’s hands.
“This is a gift from me. Take it! This pair of bracelets was originally a dowry my mother gave me back then. She hoped that I would pa.s.s it on to my daughter in the future. Unexpectedly, I don’t have a daughter, nor do I have a granddaughter. In the past, I thought that this jade bracelet would follow me for the rest of my life. Now, I’ve finally gotten what I wanted and pa.s.sed it down!”
Li Xiaoran wasn’t ignorant. At this moment, she looked at the jade bracelet and knew that it was expensive.
Li Xiaoran was a little terrified. She felt that she couldn’t accept such an expensive thing.
“Grandmother, this thing is too precious!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Take it! As the saying goes, you can’t refuse an elder’s gift, understand?” Old Madam Jin said in a firm tone.
“That’s right! Wife, this is a gift from your grandmother. It’s for you, so you have to keep it well. When we have a daughter in the future, you have to pa.s.s down this bracelet so that you won’t let your grandmother down!” Luo Cheng explained.
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s right!” Old Madam Jin said happily.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded and accepted the pair of jade bracelets.
“Then I’ll accept it! Don’t worry, Grandmother, I’ll definitely pa.s.s it down in the future!”
“Alright!” Old Madam Jin smiled when she heard this.
Naturally, this relationship wasn’t established so casually. Old Madam Jin thought for a moment and invited Li Xiaoran and her family to the Jin family’s home in town three days later.
If Old Madam Jin wanted to acknowledge a new family member, she naturally had to hold a big celebration.
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect this to happen, so she looked at Luo Cheng.
“Don’t worry, Grandmother. We’ll definitely be on time in three days!”
Old Madam Jin was satisfied with her granddaughter and left.
This ceremony had to be grand. Otherwise, others would underestimate her granddaughter.
Therefore, Old Madam Jin had to hurry back and prepare.
Of course, she had to inform the Jin family.
It didn’t matter if they didn’t come, but the invitations had to be delivered.
This time, she wanted to see what her unfilial sons would do.
After Old Madam Jin left, the shop finally returned to normal.
Zhao Xiu and Li Shun were both a little dazed. They still felt like they were dreaming.
Li Xiaoqing ran over and carefully sized up the jade bracelet on her sister’s wrist.
“Sister, this jade bracelet is so beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful jade bracelet!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her sister’s words, she thought for a moment and took off the jade bracelet.
“If you like it, why don’t you take it?! But you have to be careful not to break it!”
Li Xiaoqing didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say that. She knew that this was because her sister loved her.
“No, Sister! I’ll just take a look!” With that, Li Xiaoqing gave the bracelet to Li Xiaoran. “Sister, this is a greeting gift from Old Madam Jin. You can’t give it to others so casually. They will misunderstand. The bracelet is very beautiful, but I can’t wear it. After all, this is Old Madam Jin’s gift for you!”
Seeing that her sister was so sensible, Li Xiaoran felt touched.
“Alright, I won’t give it to you! When I earn money in the future, I’ll definitely buy you a pair of jade bracelets!”
“Alright, then you’ll have to work hard to earn money!” Li Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Luo Cheng couldn’t help but marvel when he saw this scene.
People often said that good bamboo shoots grew.
In the past, he didn’t believe it. Now that he had met Li Xiaoran’s family, he believed this.
Li Xiaoran’s family all had a good personality.
Their other relatives had all gone astray.
Take Li Yan for example. Ever since she got engaged to Pei Xuanxin, she felt that she would have a good life in the future, so she became much more smug.
She liked to go out and wander around all day to show off.
In the end, some trouble suddenly arose.
“What? I didn’t betroth my daughter to you! Don’t slander me here!” Faced with a group of fierce people, Li Qiang shivered and said.
