Kang Xiaoqiao acted as if nothing had happened. Under everyone's gaze, she smiled and said in a very appropriate manner, "Hello, grandma. I'm really sorry to have made you all wait for so long."
Then, her face turned red. "I should have come over earlier to say hello, but I saw that you missed Yichen so much, so I didn't want to disturb you. So I thought of going to the trunk to get the gifts."
"These are some snacks that I specially made at home. Yichen said that they taste good, so I thought of giving you and everyone a taste. This granddaughter-in-law doesn't have anything special. Grandma, aunts, please don't take offense."
Kang Xiaoqiao's words were full of affection. Not only did she explain why she didn't come over to say hello at the first moment, but she also threw a soft knife at them. Why didn't she come over to say hello? Didn't you know?
More importantly, Kang Xiaoqiao had prepared a gift. Shouldn't there be a gift in return for this gift?
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at their empty hands and smiled even sweeter. Who didn't know manners? Who didn't have a upbringing? Let's meet up later.
Kang Xiaoqiao's smile was very sweet, but everyone in the courtyard was stunned. They all looked straight at the bright and beautiful girl in front of them.
The girl was full of smiles. Her eyebrows were like a painting, her eyes were like spring water, and they were as black and bright as black gems. Her small oval face had a trace of baby fat. Her skin was fair and tender, and her small mouth was rosy.
She had a ponytail, a half-sleeve shirt, a pair of sky-blue overalls, a pair of white sports shoes, and two gifts wrapped in brown paper.
The gifts were beautifully wrapped, and the girl looked sincere as she stared at the old lady in the field. She did not have a trace of cowardice, fear, or worry, and her behavior was elegant and graceful.
To be honest, even the girls at home could not be as calm and generous as her.
Kang Xiaoqiao's appearance instantly caught everyone's attention. In their hearts, Lu Yichen must have been tricked by someone. They had thought that this girl could also be pretty good-looking, but they did not expect her to be so beautiful, and to dress so well.
Just this outfit alone was quite a lot of money. From this, it could be seen that Lu Yichen was very good to her. Otherwise, why would he give her so much money to buy clothes?
After the visual impact passed, it was a psychological impact. In their imagination, this must be a difficult and powerless wild girl. Otherwise, why would Lu Yichen insist on marrying her?
They thought of this girl who had just entered the city. She might be looking around, her eyes might be wandering, she might be shocked and timid, she might...
They thought of all the new rural girls who had new expressions and hearts when they saw everything, but they did not think that Kang Xiaoqiao was actually such a person.
How was she a girl from the countryside? Even the daughters of the provincial capital were not as many as her. With this image and temperament, no one would doubt that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official who had come from the capital.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Wu Xiumei, who had previously scolded Kang Xiaoqiao for her lack of upbringing, now had a purple face. It could not be more interesting.
In the end, it was Lu Yichen's first aunt, Liu Fengxia, who was the first to regain her senses. This was a big surprise. Even she did not expect that Lu Yichen would marry such a standard and magnanimous daughter-in-law. No wonder he looked down on the second son's niece.
Liu Fengxia's eyes were full of praise. Then, she tugged at the old lady's arm and said, "Mom, look. Chenchen's daughter-in-law is greeting you."
"This girl is so beautiful and sweet. Mom, our Chenchen is very lucky. This daughter-in-law did not recognize her at that time."
The old lady was also a little stunned by Kang Xiaoqiao. She turned to look at Liu Fengxia and said, "Is this really Chenchen's new daughter-in-law?"
Liu Fengxia said, "Of course it's true. I've brought Chenchen back."
The old lady heard this and frowned. "That's not right. Didn't you say that you're marrying a girl from the countryside? And she has an extremely bad reputation. This old lady hasn't lost her mind yet. The news that came back is definitely true."
"Is Chenchen making fun of his grandmother? Is he afraid that I'll scold him and make fun of him?"
When Lu Yichen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "Grandma, you're worrying too much. This is indeed your granddaughter-in-law."
When the old lady heard this, she looked at Kang Xiaoqiao. Kang Xiaoqiao had always maintained a decent smile. At this moment, Wu Xiumei spoke again.
"Tsk, don't think that you can muddle through just by pretending to be something. No matter how beautiful a chicken's nest is, it's still a country bumpkin. It can't become a phoenix."
"Mom, don't be fooled by her appearance. Hmph, which decent daughter wants to marry to the death..."
"Shut up and say one more thing..."
It could be seen that Lu Yichen's second uncle was very angry at this moment. When the old lady saw this, she also sighed. She had ten thousand objections to this daughter-in-law back then, but--
Sigh, this was all a sin--
After the old lady shook her head, she waved at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Come here, let me take a closer look at you."
Kang Xiaoqiao responded and took a step forward. First Aunt Liu Fengxia was very observant as she took Kang Xiaoqiao's gift. The old lady touched her hand. It was soft and tender. She did not come from a farming background.
Then, she looked at her face and said with a smile, "What did you do when you were at your mother's house?"
Kang Xiaoqiao still smiled appropriately and said, "I always studied at home. Most of the work at home was done by my sister. My sister is a very kind and amiable person. She also loves me very much."
The old lady replied with an 'Oh'. This child was neither arrogant nor impatient. She was calm and unhurried in the face of difficulties. She spoke clearly and succinctly. She read and wrote a lot, but did not look down on her sister. She even spoke up for her sister in such a way. From her sincere expression, it did not seem like she was doing anything.
Just from what Kang Xiaoqiao said just now, she was about to die. What was there to not understand? It was rare that this girl did not have any stage fright when faced with such a situation. Not only did she not show any courtesy, she was even able to fight back. Her Chenchen really did not disappoint. It could be seen that the rumors were not true. Not true.
After thinking about this, she reached into her pocket and quickly took out a handkerchief. Then, she opened it bit by bit. Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes were sharp. With a glance, she could tell that this was a jade bracelet with a very good water head. Its entire body was green and did not contain any impurities.
The old lady caressed it in her hand, and the surrounding atmosphere became much more depressing. After the old lady caressed it for a long time, she reluctantly grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao's hand and put the bracelet on bit by bit. As she put it on, she said, "Child, this is a bracelet passed down in our family for generations. It is passed down from daughter to daughter-in-law, but not to son."
"Your mother-in-law doesn't have a daughter, so she has this son. I will pass it to you. In the future, you have to live a good life with Chenchen. You have to be on the same level as Chenchen and have a son early."
The sudden change and heavy trust made Kang Xiaoqiao see stars. This, this, wasn't she looking down on her just now? Why, why did the change happen so quickly?
Could it be that all of Lu Yichen's relatives were so, so unconventional?
