Ren Ling'er ignored their curious glances at the photos as she opened another small bag and began pulling things out.
Good heavens, when she took them out, there were two enormous golden pig necklaces! The golden pigs were larger than the heads of Tuanzi and Jiaozi.
Then the sound of small bells from beneath the golden pigs began to ring. When everyone else turned around, they saw this scene.
Ren Ling'er was even holding a large golden pig in each hand, intending to place them around Tuanzi and Jiaozi's necks.
"Wait!" Ning Min quickly called out to stop her, then tried to take the two golden pigs.
The moment the golden pigs were in her hands, Ning Min immediately sensed something was wrong.
Good heavens, good heavens, these large golden pigs were actually solid!
Fortunately, she was quick-handed. Otherwise, with such heavy golden pigs around the two little ones' necks, they would surely be crushed.
"What are you doing? Don't snatch them, these are for my two little treasures," Ren Ling'er said as she looked at Ning Min.
Ning Min: ???
Did she look that much like a bandit?
"Oh, I get it. You think I only gave these two little ones gifts and didn't give anything to the little chubby one? Don't worry, I bought one for the little chubby one too."
With that, she immediately reached into the bag again, took out a large golden lock, and without a word, put it on the head of Yuanzi, the little chubby one who was watching his younger siblings.
The sudden weight made the little chubby one bewildered. He then saw a large, shimmering golden lock on his chest and immediately turned his gaze to the lock. "Mom, Mommy, the lock, the lock!"
"Sister-in-law, please rest assured, I specifically bought one for the little chubby one too. Please return those two little golden pigs to Tuanzi and Jiaozi."
Ning Min: Do I covet your little golden pigs!
"That, such valuable items, please put them away safely yourself," Ning Min said quickly, then prepared to take off the golden lock on the little chubby one.
"What are you doing, what are you doing? Are you looking down on me? I'm giving these to the children, not to you," Ren Ling'er said immediately upon seeing Ning Min's actions.
Ning Min paused and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "What does it matter if you look down on me or not? It's just that the things you're giving are too valuable."
Hearing that it wasn't about looking down on her, Ren Ling'er immediately smiled again, "Not valuable, not valuable. I originally wanted to buy bigger ones, but these are the largest in the county."
Everyone: Still wanted to buy bigger ones? Does this family have a mine?
In the end, under Ren Ling'er's gaze, which implied that refusing was looking down on her, they had no choice but to accept.
"Yaoyao, sister tells you, you must keep these photos safe. You don't know, after Mo Chen started junior high, he destroyed these photos.
The ones I have are the only surviving copies. In the past, when I wanted his help and he refused, I would threaten him with these photos.
If he treats you badly in the future, or if you need his help and he refuses, just show him the photos."
Mo Chen: Having a future fiancée like Ren Ling'er is my blessing!!!
After listening to Ren Ling'er's words, everyone finally understood what Mo Chen meant when he said Ren Ling'er had no brain.
This girl was truly foolish!
"Did you ever like Mo Chen?" Xia Chao asked gossipy.
"Would you like a snot-nosed toddler who still wears diapers?" Ren Ling'er asked Xia Chao seriously.
"Uh... probably not." Xia Chao.
"Exactly, I wouldn't either. I'm not a pedophile. You don't know, when I first met him, he cried so much, and whenever he cried, there would be a stream of snot. Ugh, I can't fall for that, can't fall for that."
Ren Ling'er recalled the scene when she first met Mo Chen. It wasn't Mo Chen's fault, after all, Mo Chen was only a two-year-old baby at the time!
Shen Yao pressed her forehead, "So, did you just come to give me these things?"
"Not just that, it's just that I want to borrow someone from you." Ren Ling'er became a bit shy at this point, "But don't worry, I'm giving you these things willingly, not because I need your help.
My mom said that when you visit someone's house, you must bring gifts. This is called 'the more gifts, the less blame,' especially when there are juniors, you must give them见面礼 (meet gifts)."
Ren Ling'er said this with a serious expression. If her mother knew, she would have jumped up and hit her on the head!
Mother Ren: To think I said so much, and you only listened to the part about giving gifts!!!
"Alright, who do you want to borrow?" Shen Yao asked, looking at her.
"Your third brother. I want him to take me to wander around the mountains. He said he listens to you."
Ren Ling'er had already asked Shen Huaisang, but Shen Huaisang said he was currently working for the salary Shen Yao gave him, so she came to ask Shen Yao.
"Alright, you can take him. I'll lend him to you," Shen Yao said with a smile. "Take him to play, and come back early. We need to dig the fish pond in the afternoon." It was almost December, and the lotus leaves in the farm's ponds had long since withered, so it was time to dig for lotus roots and harvest the fish.
"Digging the fish pond? Is it fun?" Ren Ling'er looked at Shen Yao, her eyes sparkling. Not only her, but Jiang Qingqing, Xia Chao, and Zhou Yanan had the same look.
Shen Yao, Ning Min: Please don't act like that, it makes us suspicious!
"You can come in the afternoon."
"Great, I'll definitely be back in the afternoon..."
Before Ren Ling'er could even finish her sentence, she immediately dashed away as if being chased by wolves.
Before everyone could react, Mo Chen had entered at some point and was looking at the pile of photos on the table.
What to do when your embarrassing moments are caught?
Everyone said, "Better me than you," and ran!
In the spacious hall of the Shen family, only Shen Yao and Mo Chen remained. Even the three little ones were taken away by Ning Min and the others.
Let's go, let's not be a third wheel!
"Hey, did Ren Ling'er give you this?" Mo Chen walked over to Shen Yao and sat down, looking very helpless.
"Yes."
"Actually, it's nothing, just some childhood photos. You don't need..."
Don't need what? Mo Chen's words stopped as he stared intently at the photo in Shen Yao's hand.
In the photo, Mo Chen was wearing pigtails and a mermaid costume, posing by the pool, also wearing a mini-bikini with bright red lips...
Mo Chen: Destroy me!
"Your childhood photos are really interesting. I must keep them," Shen Yao said to him.
The meaning was clear: I won't give them to you!
"Sister Yaoyao, I look better in person than in my photos. Just look at me," Mo Chen said, snatching the photo from Shen Yao's hand and placing it at the bottom. Then he packed up the items and put them in something.
"You can't be jealous of your own photos, can you?" Shen Yao smiled and then took the bag Mo Chen handed her.
