Chapter 294 The Gifts Prepared for the Return Visit

She told Chen Xia to go inside and rest, while she and Lin Yuyao went upstairs to cook.

Because there were no facilities for cooking downstairs, Lin Yuyao's house was fully equipped with everything she needed.

“You’ve only just gotten married and you’re already back. Aren’t you worried about your in-laws having any objections?”

"I can't go back to my parents' home."

Ye Lian: "..." It seems so.

"Are you back home today?"

With her whole family away, she had temporarily forgotten about it.

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I guess so."

"Then why did you come back empty-handed?"

This……

Okay, it seems like everyone has forgotten about this.

"Who said that? We brought things with us, we just left them in the car."

"Really?"

"real."

"Oh dear, what did you bring? Don't bring anything too valuable, we can't afford to return."

"I brought two bags of fruit candies."

Ye Lian: "..."

Seeing her expression change instantly, Lin Yuyao laughed again, "I was just kidding. It's not two bags of fruit candy, it's two big bags of wedding candy. My mother-in-law prepared it, saying you should take it back to your hometown."

The neighbors are all waiting for them to bring back wedding candy.

Luo Feng understood these rules, so she had already made preparations.

"Okay, let's take some wedding candy and cakes back with us later."

Seeing that the rice was cooking in the pot, Ye Lian said, "Come on, let's bring it up so I can take a look."

"Now?"

"Yes, it's fine to leave the food here and cook it yourself. We'll be up in a few minutes."

But... it's a bit heavy.

"No need, just leave it in the trunk. If we take it up now, you'll have to take it back down when you leave, which is too much trouble."

"Then I have to go and see what kind it is, so I can prepare a return gift later. I can't just go and see it when I leave."

Uh...okay.

She thought the two bags of wedding candy wouldn't be very big, maybe ten pounds at most per bag.

This is how they prepared for their daughter-in-law's homecoming.

She was shocked to find that each bag weighed fifty pounds, and the two bags together weighed a hundred pounds. Her eyes widened in astonishment.

"My goodness, how come there are so many? Are they going to open a shop?"

Originally, Luo Feng hadn't planned to prepare so much. She thought that at most one pack would weigh 20 jin, and two packs would weigh 40 jin, which would be enough to distribute, right?

But it's a 50-pound bag, and the old man carried it.

The old man said the Lin family was well-liked; when they left, the neighbors all said they wanted some wedding candy, and there wasn't enough to go around.

Is that enough?

Their village only has about twenty families. If the candy is only given to people from the village, each family can get several kilograms of it.

“That’s too much,” Ye Lian said.

"It is quite a lot, but what can we do if we have prepared everything? Grandpa also said that he promised our neighbors that he would give them wedding candy."

"They've already prepared all this as a token of their appreciation, so naturally we have to take it back. It's alright, your dad and your older brother can each carry one bag."

Now her worry is, with so much being prepared, how are they supposed to prepare?

Ye Lian knew all too well how much money her family had.

They had just married their eldest son's wife during the Spring Festival, and now their daughter was married off as well. The couple's savings over the years, along with the money their eldest son had earned, were almost all gone.

Lin Yuyao naturally knew their difficulties, and while cooking, she gave Ye Lian the three hundred yuan of pocket money she had left.

Ye Lian quickly declined, "What are you doing?"

"This is my way of showing my respect to you."

“If you give me a small token of respect, I’ll accept ten or eight yuan, but I can’t accept three hundred yuan. Yuyao, your money no longer belongs to you alone; it belongs to both of you.”

“I know, but this money is my own, it was earned before I got married.”

"You can't give that to me, you keep it."

Lin Yuyao insisted on giving it to her, saying, "Take it. All the money my brother earned before his marriage was for you, so I should give it to you too. But I've spent most of it on buying a house, so this is all I have left."

"you……"

"Mother, stop talking, just take it."

Although it cost a lot of money to get her older brother married, Lin Yuyao knew that most of the family's money came from her older brother's earnings.

My older brother didn't have much formal education and started helping with household chores at a young age.

Making money in the mines was hard work, but I did make a lot of money in those years.

They all came from helping her parents raise her and Lin Ping.

Compared to her older brother's contributions, she really didn't give much.

Ye Lian looked helpless, but still accepted it.

Suddenly remembering something her daughter had put in her bag yesterday, she took it out and gave it to her.

"This is what you gave me yesterday, please check it."

Lin Yuyao opened the package and looked inside; everything was in good condition.

"It's not lost, is it?"

"It's not lost. It wouldn't be right if Mother had been holding it all along."

"What is that? What is this?"

"My manuscript, which I originally intended to submit, was returned to me by the editor yesterday."

"Huh? Why? Is it not well written?"

"No, I heard that their publishing house had some problems... but that's not necessarily true. Anyway, Sister Song is a very nice person. She suggested that I submit to another publishing house, saying that I could get a better price."

Ye Lian: "I don't understand these things, so you should be more careful. If you don't understand, talk to your son-in-law. I heard that he has lived here since he was a child, but he has never actually lived in his hometown for more than a few days. He knows this place well."

Lin Yuyao nodded. "Yes, he lived here with his grandparents when he was a child. His parents originally lived here too, but they went back to their hometown to do business. His grandfather went back after he retired. So, all things considered, he probably didn't live in his hometown for very long."

The two chatted casually, and the conversation turned to her relationship with her in-laws.

Ye Lian just asked that question casually.

Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "We've only known each other for less than a day, what could possibly happen?"

"So you think they're easy to get along with?"

"It's fine. Grandpa is getting old and I heard he spends his days drinking tea and walking his birds, and doesn't really care about the younger generation. Mom and Dad are both busy with their businesses and don't have time for us either. My sister is very easy to talk to, and she likes me a lot."

“I can tell that the girl really likes you. That’s good. Your mother-in-law is busy and doesn’t have time for you. Your sister-in-law doesn’t cause trouble, so you’re already better off than most families.”

That's true.

Strangely enough, even though they are all women, if a daughter-in-law is ostracized in her husband's family, the people who ostracize her are mostly her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law.

If you can get along well with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, your marriage is likely to be good.

They chatted for a while, and the meal was almost ready, but strangely, the three people still hadn't returned.

"Yuyao, go and see if they're back yet. The food is almost ready."

Lin Yuyao went to the window to look, but there was no one there.

“No.”

"Seriously, it's not Chinese New Year yet, there shouldn't be many people taking the train, right? The ticket office isn't far away, why hasn't it come back yet?"

"Perhaps something has delayed him."

"What could possibly be wrong? Three grown men."

Just then, the three of them returned.

"You're back! Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"Lin Gang, go and call your wife upstairs."

"Hey."

Ye Lian then asked Lin Yuyao in a low voice, "Didn't you say you weren't coming back?"

Lin Yuyao: "They might have gone up the stairs."

Ok.
