The Lin family's population was simple, so Mother Lin could only read books or tour the garden to pass the time after taking care of the household's affairs.

When Lin Ruhai returned, she was strolling in the garden.

She followed behind him with a book in her hand and several wooden boxes in her hands. She looked like her teeth were sore.

Mother Lin laughed, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruhai turned around and saw her expression. His face immediately darkened, "Book!"

His body trembled as he held the book. He hurriedly retracted his expression and stood still.

Mother Lin couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruhai, "What's the big deal? Is it worth scolding and holding a book?"

Lin Ruhai pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence.

Father Lin had passed away when Lin Ruhai was very young. It could be said that she, as his mother, had single-handedly raised him. How could she not understand him?

Mother Lin could tell at a glance that her son was still panting with anger.

That was strange.

Mother Lin raised Lin Ruhai until he was seventeen years old and supervised him to take third place in the imperial examinations. During this time, she had scolded her son countless times, but he had always been gentle and had never been angry.

This was the first time he had expressed his anger so clearly.

Her gaze fell on the wooden box in the hand holding the book, "Tell me, what's inside?

Also, why did you get off work so early today? "

Lin Ruhai directly stepped forward with the book, "Mother, I've been engaged to Third Miss for almost a month, but I haven't had any contact with Third Miss except on the day of Fourth Miss' wedding in Rongguo Province.

I've been thinking about it for a while and felt that something was wrong.

I happened to have some free time today, so I wanted to pass a message to Third Miss. "

He turned sideways and pointed at the pile of jewelry in the hand holding the book, "I went to Ruyi Square to pick a lot of jewelry, but because they weren't my usual style, I wanted you to take a look and pick out the best one to send to Third Miss."

Mother Lin raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My son has actually been enlightened?"

She stepped forward and opened the wooden box, revealing the dazzling jewelry inside.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Mother Lin couldn't help but be surprised. Her son was quite generous to the Third Miss of Rongguo Province.

When Lin Mu was young, she was also a frequent customer of Ruyi Square. Naturally, she knew the value of these pieces of jewelry. She also understood how much effort Ruhai had put in to gather these fine pieces together.

Thinking that he still hadn't bought her a piece of jewelry, Mother Lin complained, "It's been so many years, but my son hasn't given me a single gift."

"I think these accessories are very beautiful. Ruhai, why don't you give them to your mother?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Ruhai as if she was watching a good show.

She really wanted to know how her newly enlightened son would choose between her and his fiancée.

Before Lin Ruhai could react, Jia "Mosquito" Shu, who had been following him back, had already lit up a red light in her heart. If she was targeted by her mother-in-law before marriage, her life in the Lin family would really be limited everywhere.

In this era, the head of the household had a lot of power in the backyard.

When the time came, what difference would it make compared to Rongguo Province?

Because the Lin family had a simple population, she didn't even know how to change her situation …

Lin Ruhai and his mother depended on each other since childhood. Even if she tried her best to sow discord between them, it wouldn't necessarily work.

The Lin family was like an iron bucket. Even if she wanted to fight, no one would pay attention to her.

At this moment, Jia Su wished she could give Lin Ruhai all her EQ so that he could give an answer that would satisfy Mother Lin.

Unfortunately, not only was she unable to do so, she didn't even dare to appear close to them. She could only flap her wings and fly in circles five meters away.

She was anxious.

Lin Ruhai didn't know what the "two women" were thinking. He only answered the question according to his own thoughts, "Mother, don't you prefer simple jewelry?

If you like the jewelry from Ruyi Square, I'll choose a few more pieces for you next time. "

He turned to look at the jewelry he chose for Jia Su and frowned in confusion, "I've never seen mother wear such complicated jewelry. Mother shouldn't like it, right?"

Mother Lin was happy, "My son knows me best."

She held the jewelry in the wooden box in her hands and carefully examined it. She no longer mentioned the matter of asking Lin Ruhai to buy jewelry for her.

Lin Ruhai didn't understand, but he didn't say anything else.

After a while, Mother Lin sighed, "Ruhai, are you sure you only want to give your fiancée one piece of jewelry?"

These pieces of jewelry were all the latest, and the craftsmanship and materials were also the best. What was the best?

There was no way to choose!

Although she had never met Jia Shu before, because of Lin Ruhai's attitude, whether it was love for the house, love its crow, or preconceived notions, she had a better impression of her.

Even if she didn't like this style of jewelry, Mother Lin was still moved.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if Jia Su found out that her son had bought more than ten pieces of jewelry, but in the end, he was stingy and only gave her one piece …

"Ruhai, if you only give her one piece of jewelry, I'm afraid something will happen after the wedding."

Lin Ruhai was startled, "Mother, what do you think I should do?"

Mother Lin waved her hand generously, "Give it all!"

Lin Ruhai was stunned, "Mother, are you serious?"

It wasn't that he was reluctant.

But he originally just wanted to pass a message to Third Miss. It was just that he couldn't go empty-handed, so he bought gifts. If he sent more than ten gifts …

Would Duke Rongguo and Madam Rongguo really not think too much?

It was just like how he felt that Third Miss didn't wear jewelry in Rongguo Province.

Hmm …

Although he did feel that way.

When he met Third Miss that day, she was clearly a peerlessly beautiful and charming young lady, but there were only two outdated gold hairpins on her head, and there were no decorations on her neck or wrists.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he remembered it in his heart. That was why he couldn't control himself and bought so many pieces of jewelry when he went to Ruyi Square this time.

But he had never heard of anyone giving gifts to their fiancée in large and small bags.

Mother Lin didn't have such concerns. As a woman, she understood women very well, "Just give it to her. I guarantee that Rongguo Province's Third Miss will welcome you with a smile."

She didn't believe that there was a woman in this world who could refuse Ruyi Square's jewelry!

Lin Ruhai was half-convinced and half-doubtful, but he still put away the wooden box, "Duanshu, hurry up and send these jewelry to Rongguo Province …"

"Stop!"

Mother Lin looked at Lin Ruhai, "You have to show your sincerity by yourself to curry favor with your fiancée!"

When Jia Mosquito Su heard this, his impression of Mother Lin couldn't help but rise from zero to a high of ninety points.

Having such an open-minded mother-in-law would save her a lot of trouble in the future!

However …

"You have to take advantage of the time before you get married to please Third Miss Jia. After marriage, you can be a loving couple and raise eyebrows together."

Speaking of this, Mother Lin couldn't help but smile, "When the time comes, you can give me a fat grandson as soon as possible."

Jia Mosquito Su knew that the Lin family would have no descendants, "…"

Jia Su thought about it and silently lowered his impression of Mother Lin by a lot until it reached the passing line, then he reluctantly stopped.

It was a good thing that his mother-in-law was open-minded.
