Chapter 1507: The Gu Family’s New Year Visit (Part 4)

"Aunt Gu, Uncle Gu, and cousin Xiangnong, please come in." Gu Dongxing quickly welcomed them and introduced Mengyu: "This is my fiancée, Nan Mengyu. Xiao Meng, these are my Aunt and Uncle. And this is my cousin, Mao Xiangnong."

Mengyu greeted them one by one: "Happy New Year, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin!"

Gu Ming and Hai Xue also came out to greet the guests.

Xiangnong noticed the golden bracelet on Xiangqin’s wrist and exclaimed, "Big sister, when did you get a new bracelet? How come I didn’t know about it? How could brother-in-law, being so frugal, be willing to buy you a gold bracelet?"

Xiangqin proudly raised her right hand: "How is it, pretty right? It’s a gift from my new sister-in-law."

Everyone looked at Mengyu, their faces showing surprise.

The aunt scolded, "Xiangqin, how could you accept a bracelet from your new sister-in-law? It’s too valuable, you should return it right away!"

Xiangqin stubbornly refused, "This is a meeting gift from my future sister-in-law."

Mengyu felt a bit embarrassed and had to take out a box to give to her aunt: "Just a small gift, I hope Aunt and Uncle like it."

Inside the box was a Spiritual Jade Bracelet and a Jade pipe.

Aunt Gu was beaming with joy: "You child — we haven’t even given you a meeting gift yet." She received the gift box and took out a small box from her pocket, handing it to Mengyu: "This is Aunt’s meeting gift for you."

Mengyu quickly accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, Aunt."

Mengyu took out a small snake pendant and a golden bracelet to ask Xiangnong: "Cousin, which one do you like?"

Xiangnong thought, I shouldn’t be as greedy as my big sister, so she took the small snake pendant: "Wow, is this something my sister-in-law picked out just for me? I love it so much. I’ll take this one. Thank you, sister-in-law!"

As she spoke, she immediately hung the pendant around her neck.

Xiangqin saw Xiangnong choose the pendant and secretly laughed at her for not knowing how to choose. She thought to herself that the large bracelet on her wrist was worth at least 800 yuan, and that little pendant couldn’t be worth much. She glanced at her own gold bracelet, which she believed was worth at least thousands of yuan.

Mengyu could tell that the older cousin, despite being older than her, clearly believed the gold bracelet was more valuable and chose the Spiritual Jade Pendant only because she didn’t want to take advantage.

She looked at the two sisters and secretly laughed to herself. The sister who tried to take advantage got no advantage, while the sister who didn’t intend to got a great deal. If the older cousin knew the pendant she disregarded was worth far more than her gold bracelet, who knows how she would feel?

Before long, Young Aunt Gu and her husband also arrived, although they didn’t bring their children. Instead, they brought a little grandson.

They also gave Mengyu a meeting gift. After giving gifts to the elders, Mengyu asked about the zodiac sign of her cousin-nephew Rong Xiaobing, then took out a small horse pendant and had Gu Dongxing put it on his neck.

Young Uncle immediately saw the small horse pendant and exclaimed that it was "too precious," insisting that the grandson return it to Mengyu.

Young Aunt Gu was a bit puzzled, wondering why a small pendant couldn’t be accepted, especially when they had given Mengyu a watch as a gift.

Mengyu was surprised: this Young Uncle actually recognized the Spirit Jade and knew its value. She quickly said, "It’s not precious, just a little trinket. It’s something I made myself, not worth much." She added, "Keep wearing it, and never take it off."

Young Uncle quickly agreed, "Okay, we’ll keep it on."

The older cousin Xiangqin suspiciously glanced at the little horse pendant on Xiao Bing, then at the small rabbit pendant on her own son, but couldn’t see a difference, so she let it go.

Mengyu saw everyone chatting and since she couldn’t join the conversation, she simply went into the kitchen to help. Xiangnong followed her in to help wash vegetables, but Xiangqin just sat there, talking grandly.
