"Mother," Xiao Ran called running towards her. "You returned quite late. You left for shopping yesterday and you returned today." He paused, not knowing what else to say, he changed the topic. "You bought a lot of stuffs."

Zhi Ruo had began to walk inside the house.

The entire stuffs were kept outside while Zhi Ruo went to take a rest and eat lunch.

While eating, she discussed her shopping experience with her daughter in laws.

"Some stuffs were very pretty. I couldn't take my eyes off them" She laughed.

"Oh mother, you have seen nothing." A daughter-in-law spoke.If you had went to the inner parts of the mall, you would have seen more quality products. However, I think Xiao Shuang should make his own shopping himself" She suggested.

"Yes dear, I think you are right. But I bought nothing for Xiao Shuang, just a silver wrist watch, a few dresses for Liang Huiyin and the gift for her mother" Zhi Ruo countered.

"Wow, mother! You also bought some gifts for Liang Huiyin's mom. That's wonderful. Now when are we going to send it to them?" The woman continued to ask in excitement.

"I am planning to wrap them up in shiny presents papers, then send it to them. I would also want to see the mother of the bride. And have some discussion with her." Zhi Ruo Planned.

"Yes sure mother, well let me go and get the shiny papers from the designers and some ribbons. We'll wrap them all up then go to their home by evening" The woman spoke.

"Yes, dear. Now you can go and bring the papers. I will be waiting for you." Zhi Ruo smiled at her.

The stuffs were taken to the lobby, where there was a small table.

There were different colored dresses, and utensils on the table.

According to etiquettes and the family tradition, when a girl was going to be married into the family, the entire members especially the daughter-in-laws will have to assist the mother, they have to help her in preparing the meals, and presents. They have no choice but to accept that tradition since it was all done in every woman's wedding.

The sparkly red chinese gown was well packaged in the shiny paper. Added with a silver necklace, a beautiful yellow pair of shoes and bracelets.

More and more dresses were arranged and packed neatly inside the paper.

Glass plates, tumblers and different kitchen utensils were also packed inside the paper.

Zhi Ruo made sure the bride mother has the most perfect gift one would ever give someone. She wants her family's name to be known for their supreme wealth and power.

And once all the packaging was done, the servants helped them to stack the boxes neatly inside the car trunk.

"Mother," Another young daughter in law called Zhi Ruo. "You forgot the sweets" She reminded her.

Zhi Ruo had wanted to take enough snacks and money to her in-laws house. She will share the sweets among the little kids. She might also give children a few red packets.

Her joy knew no bound and she couldn't wait to see when Huiyin would become a full member of the family.

After a few more minutes, Zhi Ruo paused while entering the car.

'This is absolutely not right. You are not suppose to do there, you should just send An Ruan to give the gifts to them. You shall meet her I. the next few weeks before the wedding.' She thought within herself.

"An Ruan, I think I am feeling very fatigued right now, I will have to take a rest. Please on my behalf, Make sure you act very cheerful and lively towards Wang Shu." Zhi Ruo spoke calmly.

She was suppose to meet Huiyin's mother on the day they would be hosting a tea party, since noble and wealthy peoples shall be attending. Wang Shu shall be introduced to all of them.

An Ruan entered the car while the car started.

According to the family traditions, the groom family will have to visit the bride family, and then the gift would be given to the bride's mother, as a matter of fact, An Ruan wouldn't have to stay up to one hour at Huiyin's house, she would return home immediately after she had given the gifts to them.
