On the 29th of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Jian's mother, under Shen Jian's instructions, brought a group of female relatives to the hotel to visit the guests.
It was said that at the time, his mother was not very willing to come because she was worried she wouldn't know what to say.
Shen Jian was very angry: "Do you think it's appropriate to let them sit on the cold bench in the hotel all the time? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Buy some mooncakes, fruits, and go talk to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is very nice, you don't have to be afraid. Or you can ask my eldest aunt and second aunt to accompany you."
So Shen Jian's mother brought three female relatives, one of whom was the cousin from the second aunt's family who was said to be working in Beijing and well-informed.
They carried three convenience bags, one with grapes, one with apples and pears, and one with mooncakes (six loose mooncakes).
At that time, Shen Jian's father and uncle happened to be out, not at the hotel, only Shen Jian's mother, Shen Jian's younger sister, and Shen Jian's grandmother were at the hotel.
It was the first time the two mothers-in-law met.
They chatted in Shen Jian's mother's room. It must be said that Shen Jian's mother was indeed very cultured and had high emotional intelligence. She was very warm to the two mothers-in-law, and they had a very pleasant conversation. After the chat, Shen Jian's mother even asked them to go to a nearby restaurant for a meal together.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Jian's second aunt sells insurance, and among the sisters, she is the most talkative. She held Shen Jian's mother-in-law's hand and chatted the most happily, saying that smoke was rising from the Shen family's ancestral grave, but now they found a good daughter-in-law like Shen Jian's wife, praising Shen Jian as a good child, but the family was not doing well, saying Shen Jian's mother was okay, but his father was not...
She emphasized several times that Shen Jian's mother had taken Shen Jian's wife to buy gold jewelry a few days ago, emphasizing that Shen Jian's wife had found a good mother-in-law.
Shen Jian's mother-in-law kept laughing and saying, "Haha, that's good, that's good, haha, as long as the two children are good, haha..."
After they left, Shen Jian's wife expressed her dissatisfaction first, criticizing her mother-in-law for buying too simple things: "At least get a gift box to make the mooncakes look nicer. What's this all about?!"
"She kept talking about buying gold jewelry. Isn't that what she should do? What's there to talk about?!"
"Why are you so enthusiastic towards them?! Sending them off so far, you should just sit there and let me do it! Why are you so submissive?!"
"I had to pay for the meal, and my eldest aunt even dragged me out of the restaurant to eat noodles, saying the restaurant was wasteful. Is this a joke?! You are the guest, do you really think I invited them to dinner?!"
Shen Jian's mother immediately stopped her: "Why are you so petty? We are all family. Why bother with a gift box? Just having mooncakes is enough. When they mentioned the gold jewelry, they just wanted to say that your mother-in-law is good to you, right? Your eldest aunt is just used to being frugal, it's a reflex at her age. Why think so much?"
"Let me tell you, on such a happy day, everyone should be happy and cheerful. If you have any complaints, save them for when we return to Hangzhou and talk to Xiao Shen slowly. Here, you need to save face for him. Don't show any unhappiness. Otherwise, how can we maintain our dignity?"
"You should think about your dignity. Should I just endure everything for your sake?"
Shen Jian's younger sister said, "It's a good thing Uncle wasn't in the room, otherwise this sentence alone would have made him rush back to Hangzhou overnight."
Yes, I got all these details from Shen Jian's younger sister.
All first-hand information.
Because of this, our relationship has progressed rapidly.
With Shen Jian's mother's skillful handling, everything returned to normal.
