The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Lu Qing also whispered, "Mom, you really have a sharp eye. It weighs about five carats."

Ming Sicun almost laughed out loud.

The ceremony was completed and the banquet began. Jiang Qidong and his wife led their son and daughter-in-law to toast at each table.

Lu Qing's table was the closest to the front except for his relatives. It was estimated that the toasts would arrive soon, so Lu Qing hurried to eat something.

Today's banquet is different from the one in the big hotel. The club emphasizes exquisiteness.

Every dish is perfect. One crab can be cooked in four different ways, and a dish of mushroom and Chinese cabbage only has three slices of mushrooms and four Chinese cabbage.

Everyone was too embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks, fearing that if they took a bite, there would be nothing left of the dish.

Fortunately, there is a set soup, one serving per person, with radish and beef brisket, a home-cooked dish that is light and delicious.

Jiang Qidong came over with his son and daughter-in-law.

"Zi'an, baby, all the people at this table are important figures in Haicheng. They are also your elders. Let me offer you a toast and ask you to help the younger generation in the future!"

Jiang Zian and Zhong Baobao raised their glasses and toasted one by one. When it came to Ming Sicun, Jiang Zian said, "Aunt Ming, my mother always mentions you, saying that you are from a scholarly family and aristocratic family. You are my mother's best friend. My fiancée and I toast you!"

Ming Sicun smiled from ear to ear, drank a glass of eight cents of white wine in one gulp, and then handed a big red envelope to his bride-to-be.

When it was Lu Qing's turn, Shang Junru hurriedly said, "Niece-in-law, just drink some juice!" Then she said to Zhong Baobao, "This is your aunt Ming's eldest daughter-in-law. You have to call her sister-in-law. She is also the apple of your uncle Lin's eye whom you met a few days ago. She just gave birth to a baby girl. You should toast her with a glass of wine to share in her good fortune!"

The newlyweds raised their glasses to toast. Lu Qing had already stood up. Even though it was grape juice, she drank it all in one gulp.

Zhong Baobao smiled and said, "I already knew Ms. Lin's name in Beicheng. She will be my sister-in-law in the future!"

Lu Qing said, "Congratulations, brother and sister-in-law!" and then handed over a red envelope and a card.

The word "charity" was printed on the card. Zhong Baobao curiously opened it and saw that it was a donation of 100,000 yuan to the charity fund in the name of Jiang Zian and Zhong Baobao.

Rich families pay attention to doing good deeds, no matter what the purpose is. This gift is just what the newlyweds want. Zhong Baobao smiled and said, "I will post it on WeChat Moments later. This gift is so good. In our happy days, we should also think more about the many people in the world who need help. This is what my grandfather always taught me when he was alive. Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Lu Qing also smiled and said, "You posted on WeChat Moments to promote the charity fund for me, I should thank you!"

"Then give me a like later! Oh, I haven't added sister-in-law on WeChat yet."

After Zhong Baobao finished speaking, she reached out to Jiang Zian, who took out his cell phone from his suit pocket and handed it to her. Lu Qing also prepared a QR code, and the two immediately became friends.

"You devilish girl, when did you get that charity receipt card? Why didn't I see it?"

"Just now you were playing mahjong with those ladies. My company sent it to me on behalf of Xinxin. You didn't see it."

Although the portions were small, there were many varieties, and everyone was basically full after eating more than a dozen dishes.

Zhang Songnian and Ma Kuishan drank some wine and went to a less crowded place to discuss business.

Ming Sicun, Mrs. Zhang Songnian and Mrs. Ma Kuishan were discussing their most passionate topic, the marriage of their children.

Mrs. Ma Kuishan is a typical old-fashioned woman. She favors boys over girls and never hides her preference for boys over girls. She has a son and a daughter, which makes a good combination. She feels confident wherever she goes, especially when facing people who have no children or only have daughters.

It was very unfortunate today. Ming Sicun had two sons and one daughter, and Zhang Songnian's wife had one son and one daughter. The only way to show off was to find a breakthrough through Lu Qing.

"My niece, you are amazing! You are a new woman! It's been less than three months since you gave birth to our daughter, and you're already working. It's not easy!"

Lu Qing said hurriedly, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I am not doing anything, I am just doing something here and there to keep myself from being bored."

"You are too modest. You make a lot of money, don't you?"

Lu Qing waved her hands and said, "This little money is not enough for Aunt to reward her subordinates, so just treat it as a hobby."

"If you ask me, your family isn't short of money, and your husband is capable, so why don't you just stay at home and be a housewife? Take good care of yourself and try to have a son! This is our duty as women."

Lu Qing had prepared a thousand curse words in her mind, but this man was her elder. Although the Ma family and the Fu family had no business dealings, they were not enemies after all, so she just smiled and dealt with it.

Ming Sicun didn't want to hear it. Ever since Lu Qing helped her solve the stock issue, she had changed her mind about her. "Sister Li, what era is this? Haven't you heard? A few days ago, an expert said that the probability of success for entrepreneurs passing on the business to their daughters is much higher than passing it on to their sons. Aren't all the people we can name daughters?"

"That means they don't have a son, right?!"

"Alas, Mr. Ren has a son. Times have changed. Women must also be self-reliant. It is unreliable to rely on men. If I were to live again, I would go out to work when I was young and would never be a full-time wife."

After Zhong Baobao and the others finished their toast and were walking back, they heard Ming Sicun's words, "No wonder you and my mom are best friends, Aunt Ming, you're so cool! You said it so well!"

Mrs. Ma knew that they hadn't heard the previous conversation, and she wasn't trying to save her face, so she didn't say anything else.

On the way back, Lu Qing supported Ming Sicun and said, "Mom, I suddenly feel that you have become taller."

"No matter how tall you are, you are not 1.6 meters tall."

Lu Qing shook her arm. "That's not what I meant. What you said today is really good. How can women look down on other women? A woman is proud of giving birth to a son. It's a bit of an insult to her gender."

"In the past, it was an agricultural society. Families had land and needed labor, especially strong labor. If there were only daughters in the family, those jobs would be difficult to do, and it would be even worse if the daughters got married. The old couple could not take care of so much land and became increasingly poor, so everyone tried their best to have sons. Now it is no longer the case! Girls have been to school, have read books, have knowledge, earn more than men, and have achieved more than men. I used to be unable to understand why Jiayi was so studious. Sometimes I even thought that it would be better to give her intelligence to Junlin. Later, I gradually changed my mind."

"Mom, although you are not studying economics, what you just said is a typical saying in our economics: the economic base determines the superstructure."

Ming Sicun sighed, "In fact, I am very content now. I have never suffered any hardship or suffering in my life. It is not an exaggeration to say that I have a life of luxury. Now I am worried about Junlin and Jiayi's marriage. Jiayi will probably have to continue her studies. I can't call her back to get married before she graduates. As for Junlin, he doesn't even have a girlfriend. He kept making excuses when he asked to study abroad. Recently, he seemed to be worried. I asked about the school and it seems that there is nothing wrong with him. He has no financial problems and is in good health. I am afraid that he has found someone he likes, so I asked him to bring him back for me to see. I will never interfere too much, and he didn't say anything."

Lu Qing broke out in a sweat after hearing this. She had no idea what the progress of the matter between Jun Lin and Dai Xinxin was.
