Chapter 4: A wave of gifts

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Yuan Zhao Di almost jumped when he saw the pile of items his father had pushed in front of him.

Longevity locket, silver bangle, silver anklet… There were also gold-made little fish and little bells.

“Father isn’t this… isn’t this too much?”

Yuan Zhao Di’s expression was full of worried. If his parents gave his daughter all these, wouldn’t the house be in chaos?

Old Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, “What’s so much? We have been looking forward to having a girl before you were even born. We prepared small gifts every time someone in the family was pregnant, but it always went to waste.”

Before anyone could speak, Old Yuan continued, “After all these years, I’ve finally gotten what I wanted! How is this too much? It’s not much at all!”

Old Yuan was very domineering.

On the side, Zhao Di’s mother also said, “Your father’s right. It’s not much at all! Our Yuan family had passed five generations before we finally got a girl!”

“Isn’t it the third generation?” Yuan Zhao Di blinked confusedly. He had heard his parents talk about it since he was a child.

“Stupid brat, you and your brothers are the fourth generations. Isn’t your child the fifth generation?” Yuan Zhao Di’s mother said while she glared at her fourth son in disgust.

“Father, mother, no. I still think this is too precious. I’m afraid it’s too much for Jiao Jiao to handle!”

“Nonsense!” Old Yuan raised his hand and clapped, “Our Yuan family has more than twenty men. What will Jiao Jiao face that we can’t handle?”

“…” Yuan Zhao Di didn’t want to speak as he was tired of this conversation.

The Yuan family was so happy that they had given birth to a daughter. But once they start treating the kids differently, it would be difficult to guarantee that his older brothers and sisters-in-law would remain happy.

But now, wouldn’t they immediately turn hostile if his brothers and sisters-in-law found out about the things his parents had wanted to give Jiao Jiao?

“Father, mother, I still think it’s too much! These things are worth a lot of money, and Jiao Jiao is still very young. There is no need for all these. Why don’t you two save it first?”

Because he could not directly convince his parents, Yuan Zhao Di could only try to delay things.

Unfortunately, the two elders did not listen to him at all. In the end, Yuan Zhao Di could only retreat in defeat.

Yuan Zhao Di did not expect things to get worst the following day.

His second uncle, Yuan Lu, and his third uncle, Yuan Shou, arrived at their house early in the morning. They each took out the gifts they had prepared for his daughter.

Silver neckband, longevity lock, silver anklet, gold pendant…

The two acted similarly, which gave Yuan Zhao Di a hard time.

“My life!” Yuan Zhao Di thought as he looked at the gifts from his two uncles and thought of the items his parents had given his daughter. He had a feeling that this family would face chaos sooner or later!

Yuan Zhao Di could not refuse the two elders’ sincere kindness. There was no way he dared to refuse a gift from an elder.

Yuan Zhao Di could only assume the peace and harmony in the Yuan family were about to be broken. Before he could say anything, a strange situation occurred again.

His three brothers and sisters-in-law also took out a complete set of silver gifts which caused Yuan Zhao Di and his wife’s hearts to turn cold.

Unfortunately, this was not the end! Yuan Zhao Di’s cousins had also given him valuable gifts.

The couple looked at the box filled with silver jewelry and looked at each other with a heavy heart. They looked at their precious daughter, who was sleeping soundly next to them, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
