Chapter 3587
The old lady chooses to wear jewelry when she feels like it and goes without it when she doesn’t. She has her own collection, which includes many pieces gifted by her mother-in-law. She is certainly not short on jewelry, especially since she has a fondness for jade and possesses numerous precious jade items in her collection.
After marrying off three daughters-in-law, she shared some of her jewelry with them. When her nine granddaughters-in-law married into the family, she also gifted them some pieces. She has set aside a few items, hoping to one day pass them down to a great-granddaughter.
If she ever has a great-granddaughter, all the jewelry she has saved will be given to her as part of her dowry.
Indeed, she is a very happy old lady.
“Mom, guess who’s here!” Tania said cheerfully.
The old lady feigned irritation and replied, “If your husband doesn’t return my ID card, it won’t matter who’s here; I won’t be happy. I’m old, and my son controls my life. I can’t do anything freely. Tonight, I’ll climb up and scold him.”
Bianca was left speechless.
She wanted to laugh, but could she?
Having heard the old lady’s sigh from the doorway, she had naturally overheard the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Grandma York was truly a vibrant character—playful like a child yet also the most open-minded and thoughtful person.
With her at the helm of the York family, there was no need for concern, even if the sky were to fall.
She raised her children and grandchildren well. The daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law she welcomed into the family all possess excellent character.
The York family has been blessed by God, but it is also the virtue of their ancestors that fosters harmony within the family.
Good men are born into the York family, and good women marry into it, thanks to their strong values.
The old lady is quite remarkable.
Bianca thought that although she had never met Grandma York before, Grandma York had chosen her.
floor,” Bianca replied.
“Auntie, I’m trying so hard not to laugh; I can barely contain myself,” she said.
Tania chuckled, “Go ahead and laugh! Don’t hold back. Your Grandma York is just that way.”
Bianca giggled, “Grandma York is wonderful.”
She felt that Grandma York was much more enjoyable than her own grandmother. Her grandmother was strict and filled with rules, though she did show some favoritism towards her granddaughters, believing that girls belong to other families once they grow up and can only be free before marriage.
As a result, they were less strict with them.
However, they were quite strict with their mother.
Bianca thought it would be great to introduce her grandmother to Grandma York; perhaps Grandma York could share her optimism, cheerfulness, and openness.
When the old lady heard Bianca’s voice, she turned her head. Upon seeing Bianca, her face lit up with joy. She sat up from the sofa and waved, “Bianca, you’re here! Come and chat with Grandma. I’m so bored and could use some fresh air. Your uncle still hasn’t returned my ID card.”
Bianca walked over with a smile, saying, “Grandma York, it’s almost New Year’s. Don’t go running around, or your grandchildren won’t be able to find you when they come back.”
As her grandmother aged, she preferred staying home and managing her daughter-in-law rather than traveling far.
Bianca thought her mother, in front of her grandmother, resembled a concubine before an empress dowager—respectful and apprehensive about being scolded.
It wasn’t that their family traditions were bad; it was just that her grandmother was too serious.
She was nothing like Grandma York.
Bianca took a seat beside the old lady, who then asked if she had eaten breakfast.
“Yes, I had breakfast at the buffet restaurant on the first floor,” Bianca replied.
The food on the floor of your hotel was delicious, and I never tire of it. There was such an abundance of tasty options that even with a hearty appetite, Bianca couldn’t sample everything in a single day.
