Chapter 16: All Gifts from Mr. Zhan to His Mother-in-Law
Before Xia Nanxi could speak, Xia Zilin continued, “Jianzhou, don’t bring up the past. Nanxi hasn’t even met her husband yet!”
As soon as she finished speaking, two trucks rumbled to a stop at the entrance.
The driver shouted, “Is this Xia Nanxi’s home?”
“Yes.” Xia Nanxi walked out, puzzled. “What’s the matter?”
“A Mr. Zhan Chengyan asked us to deliver the goods. He said one truck is for Ms. Xia Nanxi’s mother as a gift for the first visit, and the other truck is for Ms. Xia Nanxi’s grandfather as a birthday present.”
“Where’s Zhan Chengyan?”
The driver shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“Okay, you can unload the goods.”
Cai Guixiang deliberately spoke loudly, “Oh! Oh! Zhan Chengyan, isn’t he Xixi’s husband? He actually sent gifts. Let me see what valuable things he sent, he actually used two trucks to transport them!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the driver carrying half a pig and a sheep off the truck.
She couldn’t help but laugh, “Hahaha… Hahaha… My God! Xixi, your husband is truly a rural man. This is the highest standard for a first visit to his mother-in-law in the countryside. Hahaha… It’s just a little too rustic!”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the others couldn’t help but comment.
“Nanxi is so beautiful, it’s a pity she found such a husband.”
“Both are daughters of the Xia family, but her in-laws and Zilin’s in-laws are in stark contrast.”
“It’s said that everything is destined!”
…
Xia Nanxi’s eldest brother, Xia Jingyuan, angrily said, “Aunt, don’t keep calling him a rural man. What era is this? Everyone is equal. There are many rural people who are better than city people. Besides, my brother-in-law sent us gifts according to their local highest standards. This fully shows his respect for us!”
He was very dissatisfied with his brother-in-law, whom he hadn’t even met. They could scold him behind closed doors, but others couldn’t humiliate him.
Second brother Xia Jingshen was also annoyed, “What’s wrong with my sister marrying a rural man? Even if my brother-in-law can’t support the family or raise children in the future, we three brothers will support them!”
Third brother Xia Jingyang even put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Aunt, whatever Zilin’s sister-in-law has, our Xixi won’t be missing anything.”
Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
“My God! These are all Moutai, and this cigarette, Soft Zhonghua!”
Everyone turned their eyes to the goods Zhan Chengyan sent. The driver was carrying down boxes and boxes, which were exactly the same as the Moutai Wang Jianzhou brought!
“Mom! Twenty boxes of Moutai, twenty packs of Soft China. Plus all the other things, this truckload of goods is worth 500,000!”
“The scary thing is that his two trucks are full of the same things. Doesn’t that mean he spent over a million just to send a gift to his mother-in-law?”
“Nanxi’s husband must be a rural nouveau riche! Compared to Zilin’s husband’s two bottles of Moutai, it’s too petty.”
…
Xu Xiufen felt very flattered, but she was also a little confused. She turned to Xia Nanxi and whispered, “What does my son-in-law do? Why is he so generous? Even if he’s a nouveau riche, he shouldn’t be so wasteful.”
These things were enough for a down payment on a small apartment.
Before Xia Nanxi could speak, the driver walked up to her with an army green travel bag.
“Ms. Xia, this is the 2 million dowry Mr. Zhan Chengyan gave you. Please accept it.”
“2 million?”
Everyone around couldn’t help but gasp. Under everyone’s envious and jealous gazes, Xia Nanxi slowly opened the bag.
It was full of stacks of red bills.
