Chapter 60 Gifts for Dogs

Xu Yin's expression also changed slightly. She didn't expect that Jiang He would deliberately add insult to injury to herself. But now that the matter has come to this, she can only step forward and open the box in her hand: "My daughter-in-law wishes the old lady a prosperous future."

What I saw in the box was a handmade forehead wipe. The dark green satin was embroidered with a very meaningful picture of a flat peach. The sides were rolled with azure lace with fine stitches, and the lining was made of warm rabbits. fur.

This forehead wipe looks nice and delicate, but compared with the birthday gift given by Jiang Shan, Jiang He and the others just now, it seems too simple.

Looking at Mrs. Jiang again, her smile had disappeared at this moment, and she said coldly: "My second son's family, is this the birthday gift you prepared?"

Xu Yin said: "This is a forehead wipe sewn by my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law specially put herbs that can clear the mind and calm the Qi in it, and wrap it on the forehead. It is good for the old lady's health. I hope the old lady likes it."

However, Mrs. Jiang's face was as dark as water, and there was no look of liking on her face.

Seeing this, everyone started talking in low voices.

"What kind of birthday gift is this! It's worth a hundred taels of silver at most. Mrs. Jiang is so rich, how could she value such a shabby gift?"

"If you ask me, Mrs. Jiang is too unfilial. She is not even willing to spend this little money for the old lady."

Xu Yin's face was ugly. This forehead wiping was the result of half a month of careful work. Although she didn't like the old lady, she still made this forehead wiping with her own hands out of sincere filial piety towards her elders.

And she also added carefully proportioned herbs to it, just for the old lady's health.

Her idea was to repay evil with kindness. Maybe she could impress the old lady with her sincerity and make her not be so harsh on their mother and daughter.

The result was that he was said to be so miserable.

Could it be that everything in this world must be measured by money and face?

Sincerely, is it so worthless?

Mrs. Jiang looked at this pair of knee pads, with no trace of happiness on her face. She waved her hand and impatiently ordered the maid: "Take it off!"

When the maid heard this, she stepped forward, took the box containing the forehead wipes without any care, and threw it into the pile of gifts.

With this throw, the box hit another box, and then rolled to the side. Even the forehead wipe inside fell out, but the maid just looked at it indifferently and had no intention of picking it up.

This attitude was in sharp contrast to just now, when the old lady happily ordered the maid to solemnly collect Jiang Shan and Jiang He's birthday gifts.

Xu Yin's heart also felt a little heavy. The gift she made sincerely was abandoned by the other party.

She originally had a glimmer of hope in Mrs. Jiang, but now she has completely lost it.

After Xu Yin gave the gift, Jiang Tingyi followed closely.

"My granddaughter prepared this pair of jasper bracelets for my grandmother to wish her longevity."

The jasper bracelet given by Jiang Tingyi is of very ordinary quality. It is also jewelry, but its value is far different from the luminous pearl given by Jiang Minghao just now.

In the eyes of everyone, it once again caused a heated discussion.

"The birthday gifts given to both mother and daughter are so shabby. This is so unfilial."

"Filial piety comes first. Besides, as an important member of the direct line of the Jiang family, I gave such a shabby gift. Isn't this a joke to everyone?"

Everyone's pointing fingers made Xu Yin and Jiang Tingyi feel embarrassed.

Fortunately for Jiang Tingyi, she didn't put much thought into her pair of jasper bracelets anyway, but the forehead wiping done by Xu Yin took a lot of thought, yet they treated her like this.

Jiang He pretended to be surprised at the side and said: "Hey, second sister-in-law, you have no money, so you gave such a shabby gift. Alas, if you don't have money, you can tell me in advance, I'm not that If you don't even get a cent, you will definitely lend it to you. Aren't you embarrassing our Jiang family in front of everyone?"

This remark was sarcastic and sounded like it was for Xu Yin's benefit, but in fact it was just adding insult to injury.

Su Chen below also frowned deeply after hearing this.

Su Chen originally didn't bother to pay attention to this gift-giving part, but after listening to Jiang He's words, he said it more and more inappropriately.

Looking at Xu Yin again, although she was trying to be calm, it was still not difficult to see the disappointment in her eyes.

This scene made Su Chen's eyes flash with a hint of coldness.

But at this moment, Jiang Minghao suddenly said, as if he was not picking up the pot, "By the way, I almost forgot, there is a junior in the second room, Su Chen!"

As he said that, Jiang Minghao looked at Su Chen with a provocative look from a distance and said with a smile: "Su Chen, what kind of gift have you prepared for the old lady? Don't tell us that your gift is as shabby as theirs?"

These words are obviously a clear run.

Snapped!

Su Chen threw away the chopsticks in his hand and stood up.

In full view of everyone, Su Chen walked slowly to the old lady's table, but did not take out any gifts.

Instead, he bent down and picked up the forehead smear made by Xu Yin from the pile of gifts next to the table.

Afterwards, Su Chen handed the forehead wipe back to Xu Yin and said, "Auntie, this gift is not rare to others, let's get it back."

"Take...bring it back?" Xu Yin was also a little stunned. Can she still get the birthday gift she gave out?

Su Chen nodded and said calmly: "Well, auntie, don't you have a pet dog in your backyard? I think it is missing a forehead. Why don't we take the dog back and give it to it?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone thought they heard it wrong!

Su Chen actually said that he would take back the gift given to the old lady and give it to a dog!

"Su Chen!" Jiang He frowned angrily, "Speak clearly!"

Today is the old lady's seventieth birthday, and Su Chen actually said such words in public. He didn't even know how to write the word "death"!

However, Su Chen didn't even look at Jiang He, and said calmly: "Give a dog, at least it can bark a few times, and maybe it will understand that you are doing it good and will repay the favor. And give people , but all I got was a blank stare and a cold reception.”

"In this case, isn't it clear who the gift should be given to?"

Birthday gift itself is a manifestation of filial piety.

And if filial piety is treated as dirt by the other party, is it still necessary to show filial piety with shame?

"Su Chen!" Jiang He choked at Su Chen's words and his face turned green and white. He was obviously very angry.

Su Chen's words were clearly saying that the old lady was worse than a dog!

"Old Madam!" At this moment, the maidservant suddenly screamed.

Turning around, he saw the old lady next to him pointing at Su Chen with trembling hands. She rolled her eyes in anger, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she almost fainted from anger on the spot!

Immediately, the scene was filled with screams, and a large number of people immediately surrounded the old lady, pinching her in the middle and pressing her temples.

Jiang He was furious and said sternly: "Su Chen, if you make the old lady angry, I will be the first to skin you! And the second sister-in-law, Tingyi, you are all to blame!"
